NEW YORK, Dec. 3l.-Into our
bourne of time and place came the new
year, fresh, radiant, exuberant and
filed with promise and hope. It came
with clatter, roar, tremendous
elangor of bells and blending of song.
From every quarter of the mighty
city there arose the same shout, the
same babel of welcome to the new
year. In tone, in quality, in the price
paid and the amount expended, it var
led as vary the people, but the same
spirit abode upon all New York.
Over in Sec ond avenue there were
parties of ten and twelve persons who
will remember the night as the great.

$40 was spent TO make the event mem
orable.
In such places as the Vanderbilt, the
Plaza, the Ritz.Carlton, the Waldorf,
the Astor, the Knickerbocker-where
the tango was mistress Of the great fes-
tivity and there were none but those
who bought vastly and without regard
for tipance-there were parties for the
entertainment Of which as much as $500
each was spent.

CALUMET, Mich, Dec, 3l.-The cor
oner' inquiry into the panic, which
cost the lives of seventy-two persons in
Italian hall Christmas eve, ended to-
night in jury finding that failed to
disclose the identity Of the person who
raised the false cry of fire. That the
cry was raised and that it was the di-
rect and only cause for the stampede
was established to the satisfaction Of
the jurors, A portion of the verdict,
which is criticised by the members of
the Western Federation of Miners, who
have insisted that some agent of the
Citizens alliance was responsible for
the panic, sets forth that mo person or
persons were allowed inside the hall
without producing a union card or hav-
ing some member of the union vouch
for him. -
The jury delYberated six hours. Be-
tween sixty-five and seventy witnesses
were heard. The inquest was held on
