characters mingling iu tho public
procefsion, harinluss crunks of
many sorts, faded half-demented
old ladies in dresses of an unknown
jieriou, dignified colored brethren in
iinH)8sible silk hats, as quaint and
picturesque a crew as uvor attended
a Human carnival.
The president was assisted in tho
reception of the guests specially re
ceived, that is from 11 to U:.i;i
o'clock, by the .Mrs. MoKce, Mrs.
.Morton and thu ladies of the cabi
net circles, with tho exception of
Mrs, Hlnine. Mrs. Hlaine, like Mrs,
Harrison, was absent on account of
the death of a sister. Mrs. Mclveo
wore a trained gown of white faille
Francaise. Tho fluffy bang nnd
the loosely-tied bunch of roses, the
new Duchess variety, gave hor a
very simple and youthful appear
ance. Mrs. Morion s nppea ranee
wos truly regal. Sho was undoubt
edly the finest dressed lady iu the
Hue or well dressed women. I no
French gown of steel-gray satin had
naiicls of satin down the skirt
sides, divided down the front by a
pleated strip of pink crepe, over
which was laid a heavy jet frinne.
Tho jet passementerie striped all
the sidu iianuls down to a deep tail
of black Chantilly lace, edging tho
skirt. The train was long, and the
low cut bodice waB bordered with
folds of roso pink cropo. Thoro
were diamonds in her hair, and she
earned a bouquet of whito hyac
inths. The rooms were decoratud much
as usual, save that Honors weru
not so profusely used as during
Borne veins, l he marine Hand was
in atteiidancu and the programme
rendered was very fine. The presi
dent stood the hnud shaking very
well and in this he was assisted by
tho trained Whito House rervants,
who kept the line moving as fast as
possible. With the exception of an
awkward hitch in thu line when the
senators and representatives wero
let in too soon and became mixed
up with the diplomatic corps, thete
were no dirtarbances of the arrange
ments for the day.
Tho nrcsoneo of tho l'an-Amori-
can delegatus in addition to tho
diplomatic, made the assemblage
of representatives of other nations
tho largest ever seen at a proM-
dent's reception. Huron Fnva, the

Introductions wero made by secre
tary Hlaine. Tho delegations of
Ktisaia, hngland, praiieu, China
and C'oroa attracted most atten
tion. Tho number of congressmen
present was small and could not
liavo included half of tlioio in tho
city, there being not over fifty iu
tho lino. I his was the most sig
nificant I Vu lure of the day, and was
aftor made a subject of comment.
When tin doors wero cloyed nt t!
o'elook and such of the public as
were unlucky went nwav without
seeing theinsido of the house, tho
leader of (ho baud took a drink
with the captain of the watch, and
the president, very carefully carry
ing his tired right hand against his
breast, wont up stairs wilh I in 1 1 y
McKcu. And the initial reception
of tho first administration of the
second century was over, it brine
just ono hundred years since Presi
dent ticorgo Washington had given
his lirst New l ear reception.
Tho reception at tho residence of
members of tho cabinet wi le very
brilliant and well attended. Mrs.
.Mm ton's reception was nil that
might have lnen expected. After
their reception al the White House
tho diplomatic corps was driven to
tho residence near by of tho secreta
ry of state. The old Seward man
sion hos been so altered that the
reception rooms extend across the
entire front. Hreakfast was served
in the clcpaut banquet room below.

Orr(ontn-
Tho eminent and successful electro-magnetic
physicians. Drs. Dar
rin, havo discovered nnd jxjrfobtcd
a syeteui of treatment that has
caused a revolution In the treat
ment of feninlo diseases. Whenev
er their treatment is tested and
known it has done away with so
much nauseous drugs and surgical
oiHirntions whereby to many pre
cious lives have been lost.
As a diecovery, it ranks with
Harvey's discovery of tho circula
tion of tho blood. It has proved in
moro than a thousand cases of tho
worst kind to lie n positive cure for
ths following female diseases:
OvArinn tumors, dypus ulcera
tion and drops v of womb irregular
ity, inllnmmation, tongestion nnd
falling of womb, leucarrluua, pain
ful nnd suppressed menstruation,
flooding, frequent urination, bear
ing down pains, backache, headaoho
hacking cniigh, melancholy, nb
sceiieo of ambition or do.'ire "to live,
or, in fact, any ojiuplaiul having
its origin in a' disordered state of
tho generative and accompanying
organs, whether from contagious di
seases, hereditary, accident, tight
lacing, ini8earriago or other causes.
Their method of treatment is
harmless, pleasant and mild. It is
applied directly to the womb with
out the use of fiistruments; can bo
applied by tho patients themselves,
thus securing correct local treat
ment at homo, and its application
is easy and simii!o. Its curative
action on the inflamed, congested
and uncerated parts is immeddinte.
Drs. Dnrriu refrain from making
public tho names of hundreds of la
dies who have been rortcol lo
health, with duo deference to th'
delicacy of thoir olllictions.
