to the Congressional circle
The ringing out the old and In the new
bus a double significance this season, in
asmuch as the entire bodv of tffiual
society will change with the passing of
the present administration
It is not onlv the President, Vbe Presi
dent, and members of the. Cabinet tli.iL will
go their separate wavs, hut all th .issistnnt
secretaries, many of them great acquisition-,
to society, and well on to a score
of Senators and their families will scatter
I to thirtv two points of the compass.
When Mrs Cleveland stands to receive
the homage of the multitude net Friday
morning, it will be for the last tune, and
everyone will appreciate that rjet from
the dean of the diplomatic corps to the
least representative of the untitled ai d
unclassified public who will pass withiu
the White Ilouao gates.
The lack of physical strength which
will render it imjs-iblc for Mrs. McKm
lc ever to take the place of the present
beautiful and gracious mi-tress of the
White Iloiise is a matter of much legret
to the public as well as to society. While
the official functions are bound to go ou,
it is always a disappointment when the
wife of the President canuot grace them
in per-on and enter into the ol-,e a: d
delightful acquaintance with the world
of society that 1 as marked the reign of
Mrs. Cleveland. a well as that of the late
Mrs. narnson
Mrs Steven-on will assist at the recep
tion next Friday for the first tune in
t,vo years Her place will be to the right
of Mrs Cleveland, thaothera in the receiving
line bing Mrs Olney. Mr.s Carlisle, Mrs
Lamour, Mrs Harmon, Mrs Francis. Mrs
Wilson. Miss Herbert, daughter of the
Secretary of the Navy, and Miss Morton,
sister of the Secietary of Agriculture.

line and shakes hands with each visitor, as
does Mrs Cleveland and eacli of the Cabinet
ladles The New Year leception. ab well
as the four evening receptions throughout

Cleveland, assisted by the ladles of the
Cabinet The Vice President and members
of the Cabinet attend as guests, and the

visitor to greet the President promptly at

assistant secretaries, and headH of de

The ladies of the Cabinet all hold after
noon lcceptionsattheirhomes and the wife
of the Secretary of State gives a breakfast
to the members of the diplomatic corps at
noon
It is considered tnc correct thing for
women to attend the White House recep
tion on New Year's Day, but not those of
the Cabinet houses.
In addition to the wives of the Cabinet
officers Mrs Cleveland will have nearly
100 prominent; society women to assist
at herieception on New Year's Day. The
majority or these chosen ones will be
wive.-, or daughters of prominent officials
and of officers of the Armj and Navy, but
inani will be selected Horn the resident
families of the District.
There have been comparatively few
imjioitant changes in the diplomatic eoips
since last New Year's Day. The tour
ambassadors. Sir Julian Pnuncefotc, M.
Patenotre, Barou Fava, and Baron von
Thielmann, are all with us, though since
the death of their son last spring. Baron
and Baroness Fava have spent most of the

take no pare in the festivities -if the
coming season.
The late Charge d'Afi'aires of Argentina

Why 'New York .Indue Refused Char,
ter to Hebrew Organization.
New Tork, Dec. 26. Judge Pryur in
the supreme court today dental the appli
cation of the Agudalh Hakehiloth, a He
brew organization of New York, for a
certificate of incorporation. In refusing
the certificate Justice Pry or says:
"In the certificate submitted to me I
observe that the annual meeting i.t the
proposed corporation is appointed to be
field on each and every second Sunday
of January of each and every year It is
not a religious corporation, and us annual
meetings are for the performance of pre
cisely such secul.tr business as is trans
acted by other civil corporations.
"The question is not whether such meet
ings are illegal, but whether they should
be approved. The act intended is an ag
gression upon the Christian Sabbath, and
the law which scrupulously protects them
m tlielr otiservances of their creed gives
them no license to affront the religious
susceptibilities, of others.'
HIS REMARKABLE MEMORY.
Col. Fellows Power of Retention a
Marked Characteristic.
The jiower of endurance, both physicaland
mental, was one of the marked character
istics of John R. Fellows. The sensation of
weariness, even after hedeveloped themal
ady which finally ended his life, va a sensa
tion practically unknewn to him. as it is
known to the ordinary man. He could
travel for daws and night with little or no
sleep, and retain his bodily vigor without
the slightest apparent diminution.
Colonel Fellow-, pcx-ys.-etl a memory that
can only tie described as phenomenal. In
the most involved and Intricate mass of evi
dence, abounding In citation- from authori
ties ami filletl with profound legal problems,
he tcoknonnr.es. but depended entirely upon
his power of absorption to review the testi
mony seriatim when the time came.andthis
he did with the most marvelous accuracy.
His memory for quotations and theirauthors
was equally wonderful. Scott was hisfavor
iteand there wasscar-elyanythmgin Scott's
poetical works that he could not recite of f
hand.and continue for hours at a time. One
of his favorite subjects, when called upon
for a recitation wn-s the "Lady of the Lake"
and "Marmion." Each of these poems had
been committed to memory on two or three
readings-
