Washington. Jan. I.—Probably In no
other city of tbe country doss tbat pe
culiarly American custom of exchanging
New Year's calls continue to flourish
with the same vigor as in the capital of
tbis nation. In all other cities the cus
tom bas come to be more regarded in
the breach than in the observance. In
Washington Everybody in official life
either receives or pays calls. The presi
dent himself Bets the fashion in this
matter and natarally the White House
is the foous of interest on the first day
of the new year, for there are congre
gated tbe most distinguished persons in
tbe land in official life, and tbe most at
tractive conditions.
_ Tb*^)»i«.>j'/uj.'* , ~'if..tb'vriar iranl" «°>t 1}
a great throng of people, considering the
etate of the weather, hail gathered at the
entrance to tbe White House grounds to
peep into the carriages as they rolled
through the gates, laden with pretty
women and distinguished statesmen and
gorgeously attired members of tbe dip
lomatic corps
The old White House bad been thor
oughly prepared for the day's ceremo
nies. Outside a canopy bad been erected
for the protection of the guests who
came in carriages. On tho inside can
vas covers bad been laid carefully to pre
vent the destruction of rich carpets by
ths trampling of thousands of feet which
were to pass over tbem.
Ac in past years decorations were all
floral, but there were noticeable differ
enoes in the plans last year in the freo
display of potted plants and palms in
place of tbe great banks of cut flowers,
which formerly graced tbe rooms.
Consequently there was something lack
ing in oolor, bnt from an artistic point
of view tbis was more than compensated
for by the beauty of the plants, neatly
arranged in pure white jardinieres of
basket work design.
The guests entered at the main door
of the mansion and crossing the lobby
passed into the red room, where they
bad an opportunity to divest themselves
of their wraps and coeta before entering
the blue room,where the receiv
ing party was stationed. The blue
room, always tbe prettiest of the
White Honse suite, was beautifully
decorated with floweia, a star-shaped
white blossom prevailing in such pro
fusion as to charmingly subdue tha all
prevalent bine tint of the artificial deco
rations and furnishings. In the lobby,
just within the main doorway, was
stationed the full Marine band, making
a gallant show in tbeir brilliant scarlet
uniforms, and discoursing with splendid
effect a specially arranged programme of
artistic merit. Tbe mnsio began with a
grand inaugural march by Kaucuilli, tbe
leader of the band.
The first to arrive at the executive
mansion wore the ladies of the cabinet
who were to assist Mrs. Cleveland in re
ceiving.
THE RECEPTION PARTY,
Promptly at 11 o'clock the Marine
band struck up the inaugural march
and tbe receiving parly desoended tbe
western staircase. First came Colonel
Wilson with Lieutenant Gilmors, then
thepieaident and Mrs. Cleveland, and
then the members of the cabinet with
tbeir ladies. They entered the blue
room, and for a few moments there wae
a general exchange of compliments of
tbe season between tbe persons in the
room. Mrs. Cleveland waa attired in
white moire antique, heavily embroid
ered with silver and having fall sleeves.
Her mother, Mrs. Perrine, wore a heli
otrope velvet gown, ornamented witb
silver pasßementere.
Mrs. Gresham wore a gown of black
and white satin. Black formed the moßt
of the skirt, which was bordered with
whiie satin, and this material also
formed tbe sleeves.
Mra.Carlisle wore gray moire antique,
trimmed witb sable and paesementere.
Mra. Lament waa in buttercup eatin,
elegantly brocaded in white with a lace
pattern; brown velvet and laced formed
a becoming collarette finish.
Mrs. Biseell wore white satin brocade
with a waist in a fluffy effect of white
chiffon, trimmed with pearl and silver
paseamsntiere.
Mrs. Herbert was in a light-blue eatin,
richly brocaded in pink and finely
plaited chiffon frills on the bodice.
Mrs. Uiney wore purple bengaline,
richly embroidered and trimmed witb
lace.
Miss Morton wore a toilette of blrck
and white striped moire and brocade
with point lace.
Mrs. Hoke Smith, being in poor
» 0 i
health, did not take part in the recep
tion.
A number of ladies, including the
wives and daughters of prominent offi
cials and personal friends of Mrs. Cleve
land had been invited to take positions
behind the line with tbe receiving party
co that there was a brilliant array of
handsome costumes in tho room. Tbe
ladies were: Mosdames Fuller, Shofield,
Ca«ey, Thurber, MoAdoo, vValker, Ram
sey, Cbadwiok, Reywood, Walsh, Sher
man, Palmer, McPherson, Crisp, Misses
Bsrtha Crisp. Felder, Cockran, Strauss;
Mesdames Daniels, Hendricks, Misses
Murphy, Voorheee; Mesdames Maxwell,
Bowles. Eckles; Miss Curtis, the Misses
Hamlin; Mis. Uhl, Misses Kennedy,
Mabel Johnson, Nannie Leller; Mes
dames Andrews, J. W. Carlisle, Brad
ber, Misses Queen, Helmnr.
The programme had been arranged, as
is ciißtomary, for the admission of the
different classes of officials as in the
order of tbeir rank.
THE PRESIDENT.
The president took a position near the
west door, next to Colonel Wilßon and
Lieutenant Gilmore, who were oharged
with the duty of introducing callers to
the presidential party. Mrs. Clevoland
stod on the right of the president, and
ladles of the cabinet in line. Members
of the cabinet joined the party in the
rear, and tbe reception began. Tbe
diplomatic corps were nocorded first place
in the ceremony, and made a magnificent
display ac the entered tbey blue room,
headed by Sir Julian Panncefote, the
firitijh ambassador, with bis tall and
erect figure clad in a brilliant diplomatic
dress and broad chest fairly blazoning
with diamonds, star of tbe Garter and
other ornaments.
The Chinese attracted all eves by tbsir
rioh ellks snd uniquecut, and everybody
admired tbe pretty aud picturesuue
figure presented by tbe wife of Minister
Yang Yu. Tbe new Austrian minister,
Mr. Henglemuller, was resplendent in a
Hungarian uniform that in color and
richness outshone all others. Finally,
the diplomatic corps drilted slowly into
the vast east room and mingled with
the crowd gathered there, and the re
ception went on. By rights the ennreme
court -hould have come next, but they
were belated and came in after the other
members of the judiciary —court of
claims, court of appeals and district
judiciary —being in fact preceded by
numbers of senators and repressnta
tltts.
THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS.
The presidential plan, however, was
sadly demoralized today. After the
diplomatic corps and judiciary had been
received, senators and members of con
gress were slated to follow, but they
weriTin the firat section of c alle,r fhe
number of members of both houses was
unusually small. Hardly more than 20
senators were to be seen. There were
more Republicans than Democrats
among tbem. Among those present
were Senators Sherman, Teller, Dubois,
McPhereon, George, Call, Lodge, Wo loot t
and Peffer. The members of the house
were scattered generally through the
line that followed for the next half hour.
General Horatio King was in the section
allotted to ex-cabinet ministers and ex
ministers of tbe United States to foreign
countries. Ihe army and navy were the
only official bodies wbich came in solid
lines, and they were the main part of
the exhibition from a spectacular view,
with tbeir gold lace glittering through
the corridors and their swords clanking
martially. There was a notably large
gathering of army officers, no less than
three department commanders msrebing
with their staffs. Several of the higher
officials were making their last New
Year's round in active service, as they
will be relegated to the retired list in the
course of the year.
Following the army, of course, was
General Bchofield with his staff, General
Vincent and Captains Scboheld and
Bliss. Generals McCook, Rugsr and
Otic followed, attended by their staffs,
but General Miles, who bad been ex
pected from New York, failed to appear.
Other warriors in the front ranks were
Adjutant-General Ruggles, Inspector
Breckinridge, Quartermaster Bachelor,
Surgeon General Steiuherg, Paymaster-
General Smith, General Casey of tbe en
gineer corps, General Flagler, chief of
ordnance.
lied cavalry plumes waved throngh
the doorway. Their wearers wsre the
officers of the Sixth cavalry, stationed
at Fort Mver and commanded by Colo
nel Morgan. Red plumes heralded the
artillery, which was led by tbe officers
of the Fourth, from the Washington ar»
senal, and after tnem were several
infantry officers on detached service.
THE NAVAL CONTINGENT.
The naval contingent made an even
more brilliant array than tbe army.
Tiro officers oi tbe retired list, Admirals
Kussel and Krben, were at the bead, fol
lowed by Admiral Ramsay and Com
modore Selfridge, Commodores Cock
ran and Mathews, Chief Fngineer Mel
ville, Paymaster General Stewart and
Judge Advocate Lemley. Tne uni
formed delegation was ended by tbe
marine corps officers, led by Colonel
Hey wood. At 12:30 a long line of
government officials were admitted. It
included the regents of tbe Smithsonian
iuatitnte, tbe civil service and interstate
commerce commissioners, assistant sec
retaries of the departments, commis
sioners of labor and beads of ssveral
bureaus. The delegation of war veter
ans was smaller thau usual, but includ
ing tbe representatives of the veterans
of the Mexican war tbe Loyal Legicn,
the G. A. R. and Union Veterans, most
ot them wearing their plain blue uni
form. Several walked on orntches In
the line, and empty sleoves woro nu
merous.
After these organizations several hun
dred people who bad been shivering on
the sidewalk in a long line poured
through tbe White House gateß two by
two, and were marshaled up the steps.
There were all conditions of society, all
ages, and not a few colored people com
posed tbe array.
The venerable members of tho Society
of the Oldest lohabiiants of Washington,
who never miss this yearly event, were
somewhat belated, but secured a place
in line. So at the appointed hour of 2
o'clock, Mr. Cleveland shook hands
with tbe last person, and the doors were
closed. Those already in the mansion
lingered, hoping to cc« the presidential
party pass up stairs, but tbe president
led the way throngh a side door and
thus eluded his admirers.

and Indignation.

Opinion.
Special to the Hesaeo.
Riverside, Jan. I.—There wm gen
eral surprise and some indignation in
this city this morning when it became
known that the Riverside Water com
pany, a corporation with whose interests
tbe welfare of a very large portion of
this valley is olossly identified, bad
been quietly placed in the hands of a
receiver on the previous evening, the
order being made by the superior judge
at his rssidenoe, at the request of the
attorney for creditors for a small amount,
the president of the company and his
attorney being willing parties to the
ornr-B.Hin.. It had b«»" known fnr
some time past tliat tbe company was
pashed for ready money to meet ita ob
ligations, but as several of tbe principal
stockholders are men reputed to possess
very large fortunes, it was not believed
that a resort would be Had to a re
ceivership.
It was understood tbat with the ex
ception of $18,000 interest now due
there wsre no pressing demands. Tbe
rsoeivership, however, oame in thia
way : Ten days ago an action was be
gun by Miss Alice Longfellow to recover
$1800 from the company on a note.
Late yestsrday afternoon plaintiff's
attorney took judgment by con
sent for amount claimed. An
execution waa immediately issued, and
an hour later waa brought back by a
dsputy sheriff with the return, "No
property found."
Between 9 and 10 o'elook In tbe even
ing H. C. Hibbard, attorney for Miss
Longfellow, John G. North, attorney for
the company, and George Frost, presi
dent of the company, went to Judge
Noyes's residence, provided with tbe
necessary papers, and in a few minutes
an order was signsd appointing George
Frost receiver. A bond of $25,000 was
called for, and this was promptly fur
nished.
The company's liabilities aggregate
nearly $600,000. Most of this sum is
represented by bonds of three issues.
The largest claim outside of the bonus
is $65,000 in the company's paper.
Tbis matures April let, and is held by
J. B. Reynolds of New York.
The company's assets consist oi
$45,000 in tbe Riverside Banking com
pany, and not fully due for three years ;
water mortgages worth $150,000; the
company's domestic water system,
$500,000; land and water, $250,000;
canals, ditches, artssian wells and wa
ter rights, $300,000; total, $1,245,000.
In an interview today President Frost
stated that no man's watsr rights
would bo interfered with by the present
troubles. He added tbat the company
was amply abls, with its present re
sources, to pay all running expenses,
and he believed that as soon as tbe new
issue of bonds conld be placed the re
ceivnr would be discharged. The com
pany now has agents in Europe nego
tiating for the sale of these bonds in
block, and he thought the deal would
be consummated.
LOCAL OPINION.
The Rtoelveraulp Will Not AfT.ot Water
Hlglits.
Wben Tub Herald was apprised by
special wire tbat the Riverside Water
company had gone into Iho hands ol a
receiver, a reporter sought an interview
with Mr, O. T. Johnson, proprietor of
the Westminster hotel, this city, a heavy
property holder at Riveraide and a
stockho'am in tbe embarrassed com
pany Mr. Johnson said:
"No, I war- not aware tbat the Rives-.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
side Water company bed gone into the
bands of a receiver. lam a small stock
nolder in the company, bnt bays not
paid much attention to ita affaire. Tbe
bonded indebtedness of tbe company, I
think, ia abont $600,000. This bas not
all been placed. Heretofore tbe com
pany baa promptly met its interest
obligations. It was intimated to me
some time ago, however, tbat it might
default on tbe January payment, but I
did not anticipate tbat there would ba
any trouble. I presume inability to
meet tke interest falling dne January
Ist, is tha causa of tbs receivership."
'•Will the receivership iv any way
affect tha water supply ol Riverside T"
"Oh, no. It will In no way interfere
with irrigation. It will have no deletai
ious effects on business at Riveraide. I
cannot say anything about the cause ot
the trouble, because I am not informed
on tke subject. lam confidant, though,
that it will not interfere with the pros
perity of Riverside in the slightest."
Mr. R. J. Waters, a gentleman wall
versed in irrigation matters, whan ques
tioned about tbe receivership of tha
Riverside Water company, said ha was
never a stockholder in tbe company, and.
could not speak of its affairs advisedly*
His rscolieotion of tbe matter, however,
was that the company had an or
iginal bonded indebtedness of $500 v
000; this, on the reincorporation o(
the company, was inorsssed to
$1,000,000. Ol tbis amount about $200,
--000 bad bean placed, and about $200,000
of the original indebtedness bad been
taken up. Jamas Gardner Clark ot
New Haven, Ot., had been acting aa
financial agent of the company, and
bad suooesded in plaoing soma oi tha
bonds in New England. Than he went
to England where he tried to float tba
remainder, but without success. Owing
to financial stringency it was vary diffi
cult to place California securities any
where, and it was principally on tbis
account that the company was unable
to sell its bonds.
Being asked what effect ha thought
the receivership would have on water
rights in Riverside, Mr. Waters said:
'None whatever. Irrigators will receive
their water supply just as regularly as
before. Tbere will be no trouble about
that."
Judge R. M. Widney, when informed
of the appointment oi a raoeiver ior tha
Riverside Water company, said ha did
not think it would work any injury to
the irrigation interests oi that oity; on
tba contrary, he thought it wonld bava
a good effect. Owners oi water rights
woald be ssrved with water just the
same as before. The management of
the company wonld simply pass irom
the hands oi tha incorporators to the
creditors. Instead ot paying interest
and dividends on inflated stock, interest
would hereafter be paid only on the
actual indebtedness. Jndge Widnay
bad no doubt that irrigators would
profit by the change, although aome of
tbe original investors might suffer. Tbe
community, st least, would not ieel any
ill effects irom it whatever.
Another gentleman, formerly a resi
dent of Riverside, but who did not esra
to have hia name mentioned in connec
tion with the affair, aaid: "I believe
there is a big job behind thia business.
Tbe rentals of the Riverside Water com
pany are immense, ac the company sup
plies tbe oity with water ior domestic
use aud most of the colony with water
for irrigation. However,' owing to tbe
failure of tbe orange orop last year,
many of tbe irrigators may not have
been able to pay tbeir water tax. This
may have tended to the embarrassment
of the company."
THE GLAD NEW YEAR.
lEINITY RINGS OUT THE OLD AND
IN THE NEW.
Tbe Sweet Bauale of She Chimes Cut.a.4
to by Thousands of
People.
New York, Jan. I.—Trinity's chimsi
nehsred in tne new year, greatly to tha
joy of 2000 or 3000 people. The remain
der of the crowd of 30,000 people who
mad etheipilgrimage to lower Broadway
stood a block or so away from tbe church
and listened to the tin horns. Of all ths
crowd that started for Trinity ohnrcb, it
is safe to say that not 10 par csnt taw
the steeple or heard tha chimes. Bat
they were just as happy. They knew
the chimes wsre ringing. Cable cars
crawled up and down the crowded streets
like Bnails. Gripmen rang their gongs
in time with the bellman's melodies.
When midnight came the police relaxed
their vigilance for a moment, and a yell
of welcome of 1895 vied with ths blare
of thousands of home.
Tbe tenderloin district cent down hun
dreds of young men with high hats and
pipes, and young women with sulk skirts
and big sleevos. Some of these rode in
cabs and aome in 'bußsss and queer
carryalls.
From the east side came big trucks,
with chaire filled with men and women,
who giggled and leaned over the sides,
all tbe world like a straw-ride party iv
the country. Inspector MoAvoy bad
over 100 policemen from the steambaat
and Broadway and city hall squads to
silence tbe horns close to tbe church.
When a rash youug man blsw a blast a
big policemau grabbed bis horn, twistsd
it and threw It over the fence into tbe
cbnrch yard. The cemetery walks are
paved with lost chords this morning.
