NEW YEAR RECEPTION
At WHITE HOUSE
Members of Cabinet, Diplomatic
Corps, Supreme Court Judges and
Many Other NotabIes Paid
Respects to Taft.

Washington, Jan. 2./The birth of the
New Year was celebrated in the ma
tons capital today with all the brill
lance which the custom of many
years has attached to the observance
of the day. Public interest, as here
tofore, centered in the presidents re-
ception at the White House. Although
not so largely attended as in some
previous years, the function was most
successful in every respect, inasmuch
as it furnished the only opportunity
of the year for several thousand Wis
itors to greet the president and Mrs.
Taft and see the interior of the al
ways interesting old mansion.
The function began at II a. m. and
continued until well along in the after
noon. The first greetings of the day
were extended to the president and
Mrs. Taft by the vice president, mem
bers of the cabinet and their ladies.
Then followed the diplomatic repre-
sentatives accredited to the United
States, in the prescribed attire of
their respective courts. The line was
led by the dean Of the diplomatic
corps, Baron Hengelmuller, the am
bassador from Austria Hungary.
Others who attracted attention in the
brilliant assemblage were Baron
Rosen, the Russian ambassador;
Count Won B%ernstorff, the German am
b%assador; Baron Uchida, the Japanes.

Oddities of Cecil Rhodes.

He possessed few intimate friends,
and not even to all of them did he dis
close his hand. Mere acquaintance
disliked his moody ~sllences, varied
with fits of rather boisterous fun.
They considered him exclusive, mo-
rose, rough ald overbearing. And it
must be admitted that he was ii good
hater. violent when thwartcd and -
times blunt to the point of rudeness.
1t is difficult to be sufficiently uncon-
ventional to shock a mining camp, but
he shocked IT. In dress he was almost
disreputable. He seldom took pains to
i~ngratiate himself with any one. and
a man who too openly scorns his fell
lows must expect to suffer social os-
tracism and I o have his character ira
duced. 1t would be idle to deny that
for a time there were unfavorable ru-
mors in circulation regarding him or
that he was in many circles unpop-
ular. But, Ike Gallo, he cared for
none of those things."-Sir Lewis Mich

The Waste of the Wind.

Every N who wants a cheap mo-
tive force has tried to harness the
wind. Every child has made n paper
propeller or Il windmill. But can it be
said that the possible uses of the wind
have been rs %arluously investigated
as' such recently discovered forces as
steam and electricity and gases? Is 1t
not conceivable that the practical uses
CT the wind are unlcrcstimated just
because they are so familiar?
We cannot help thinking that the
wind VII lie more v~ariously employed
some day in the same way that prob
ably the problem of laying under con-
tribution the great physical fact of the
tides will be solved. One would thinl;
that the wind could be used for cleo
tric lighting, yet there is no practical
apparatus for the purpose. True, the
wind is variable and occasionally alb.
sent, but as electricity car be stored
one might suppose that this was the
very case in which variability did not
particularly matter.-London Specta'

At the cost of considerable time and

oldest Of Queer Fishes.

a queer fish that does not swim is
thc ''sargasso fish" known TO sailors
as the 'froGfsh." 1t lives in that vast
mass of floating gulfweed called the
Sargasso sea. in mid Atlantic.
Its pectoral fins are so modified and
developed us TO resemble arms, and il
uses them for clinging TO the weed.
Very gaudily colored, it changes its
hues TO match the aquatic vegetation
by which it is surrounded, and when
the latter decays and turns brown it
assumes a corresponding shade.
The fish lays its eggs in a jelly-like
mass, which, absorbing Il great guam
tity Of water, becomes three times as
big as the mother fish herself, assum-
ing the form of a narrow raft three or
four feet long and two to four inches
wide.-New York World,

A writer in n French review points

Is only 800 years ago that the hand
kerchief of n Venetian lady was con
sidered a great curiosity. The hand
kerchief crossed the Alps and was re-
ceived with great favor at the court of
France. Handkcrchiefs were then
made of cambria or lawn and bordered
with Venetian or Alencon lace. Under
Henry III. of France the sachet was
introduced. The handkerchief was
taken into Germany a little later and
was known as the "fa~zelletin," after
its Italian name. Only persons of
quality used II. and an edict in 1898

ahEssEE SENATORIAL
I CONTEST
nany Candidates, Both Regular Demo-
Gratis and Fusionists, and Out
come Uncertain.

Nashville, Tenn. Jan. 2.-The Fifty
seventh general assembly Of the state
of Tennessee, which convened today,
is expected to make for itself an i'm
portant place in the history of the
state. These1ection of a United States
senator TO. succeed James b.. Frazier
is the all-lmportant work of the early
days of the session.
The indecisive results OF the recent
legislative election and the Wrestling
of the control of the executive from
the regular democrats have combined
to bring about conditions almost WITH
out precedent in the political history
of Tennessee. AS a consequence the
outcome of the senatorial contest can
not be predicted with any degree of
certainty. On the fate Of the final re-
turns the regular democrats have a
majority in the senate, and will, II
they hold together, be able to organize
the senate by a safe majority. In the
house the fusion forces have a ma
jority larger than that of the regular
democrats in the senate, and hence on
joint ballot to elect a United States
senator will have a majority of a few
votes. The regular democrats, how
ever, are not ready to concede the
success of the fusion forces and today
both sides are confidently claiming
they will be able to elect the senator.
Senator Frazier hopes to be chosen
as his own successor. Governor Pat
terson and former Governor McAIil-
lin are aspirants for the toga on the
side of the democratic regulars and
Gen. Luke f. Wright, former secre-
tary of war, and John J. Vertrees, a
prominent Nashville attorney, are also
mentioned in the same connection. On
the side. of the fusion forces there is
also an abundance Of aspirants, among
them Jerome Templeton, of Knoxville;
Luke Lea, of Nashville; G.. r. Fitz-
hugh, of Memphis. and several others.
