The German Ambassador, Baron A. von Saurma-Jeltsch, is net only the most extensively decorated and ornamental of them all, but he is the finest looking1 man. He Is a cultivated and brilliant scholar as well, his specialty being archaeology. Just now he has turned his attention to making a collection of the weapons of our Indians, and already has an assortment that rivals that of the National Museum.

His Legation is unusually rich in uniform and interest, for his Chancellor Is Baron von Kettler, a descendant of the early kings of Court land, and also a 1 brilliant scholar; his military attache.

Beautiful as a Fairy. The ambassador was accompanied today by his daughter, a shy, modest little girl of about 11, with hhie eyes, hair as vellow as gold, and a complexion that recalls the old German fairy tale of "snow white and rose red." She is not to eome out for some little time, and is being drilled In accomplishments that will one day make her a charming' hostess at the Embassy. The Co re ana wore their usual gray, sad-colored State garments with the squares of embroideries fore and aft on breast and back, like scapulars, and their quaini hats of woven horsehair.

Their Impressive faces are in striking; contrast to their shrewd, kindly eyes. The Chinese state costume Is also dark, a slate brown, lined with sable, the only bright color being; in their caps, the crowns of which are of vivid scarlet silk cord fastened with a great knob of carved coral on top, and a pendant pompon of horsehair held in a long- jade socket. The members of the present Legation are strict orientalists, and show their wonderful training' as diplomats far more than did the last Among1 the Latins the Italian Ambassador, Baron Fava; the Spanish Envoy, Senor Don E.

The court dress of Russia in point of magnificence comes next to that of Germany, and Prince Cantacuzene was not only buried in gold lace and embroideries as stiff as repousse, but he also carried the universal and highly prized decoration of the great key. which he wore at the knot of 'the blue baldric fastened near the sword hilt.

The Swedish Minister, SI. Grip, was made warmly welcome by his old friends in spite of his ominous name, and the Marquis Imperial!

The President looked as though be were begin ning to understand his responsibilities. and his voung wife's smile seemed tempered with the thought of those other mothers who face the winter anxiously. One of the happiest features of the day was je fact that Colonel Wilson is back at his old post and will remain. The prettiest was the flying apparition of Baby Rath, who came in from her walk just the dinloraats began to arrive, and who was carried off bv her nurse in spite of longing backward looks on the part of the little maid, and the tribute of little hands outstretched to the glittering uniforms and the words, "Oh, pitty, pitty."

It was an informal affair, intended to give the publie an opportunity to inspect the building, which surpasses in- size and completeness of detail any ever erected by the great society whose name it bears. The spacious parlors on -the third floor were tastefully decorated with flowers. There the guests were received by a committee or ladles, Including Mrs. C. H.

road's Address, At 6 o'clock K. Pond, wbo is chairman of the library committee of the association, delivered an address oa the work of the association and its need of a Ubrary to complete Its effectiveness. Mr. Pond said in part: A fundamental conception of Christianity to day is that It shall penetrate every necessary activity ot human lite, shall fashion Its methods, mold Its laws, and conquer the evil that la In too world, making- righteousness tne unaer-lylns principle of business, and food faith aad honest co-operation the basis of all productive industry. It proclaims Its belief ia the spiritual truth embodied tn the Hebrew legend that maa was fashioned in the Image of his maker.

aaJ founds thereon a principle of human lite that no maa ran be in the highest decree God-like who is aot in the fullest sense maa-like; that Godliness and genuine manliness are one and the same thing. The Christian Associattoa therefore supple ments the narrower work of the churoh. as bow organized, by comprehending la the scope of Its activity all the iniiuenoes that can enable It to build up maniineas. it says to tne young maa. You shall respect God.

but yon shall auto respect yourself: and because you respect yourself yon shall have a clean body, shall know how to do thoroughly your work in the world, aao aaau have a trained mind to guide a generous heart You shall not Imagine that to he clean ooe must be idle or dilettante-, you shall neither confound gentleness with nor suppose that piety is an onset to or an apology tor incomps-. tence and thrif tlessaesa.

-In voluntary Incompetence and Inefficiency are aot crimes, but they create crime. It is the knowl- edira of this dreadful truth that has led -the Christian Association of Chicago to erect this building, with facilities for each diverse work; It is this knowledge that has led to the estab lishment of its nUiht school and laboratories. where the young maa wbo wishes to rise above incompetence may. for a nominal tuition, pursue the study of socn tecanicai ano practical branches as shall fit him In the stress of com potion to survive, not In suite of it, but because of nature's Iron but now beaenclent law. Tha work in these classes ia BOW Very much embarrassed and the students very much handicapped by the lack of a suitable reference library.

It is Intended to place oa these shelves the newest and best books bearing oa the work dooe In each class; to have here such a collec tion of technical works that the student not only get la his study what the teacher eaa give him first hand, but may supplement that by tne Stuny oi reierencoa givon uy and by the reading ot such books or parts of books as the eara cataioxws saaii wu uuws to him- that ha shall thus set the points of ylew and metnooa ot aiuerent authorities, and shall learn how to use books and get from them rapidly that rniwikl information which he most needs.

RECORDER SMYTH 8AY3 NO Not ft Fit Man to Public. Serve 'the Grimm, -the Much-Married Man, In Jail Travels of the Lib. 1'- erty Belt. Naw York. Jan.

-Special TeWot. There is a chance that New York after all may not be afflicted with that arch socialist Hugh O. Pentecost, as Assistant District Attorney. It had been expected that ha would be sworn in today when colonel John B. Fellows assumed the duties of District At torney.

He was prevented unexpectedly, however, by Recorder 'Smyth, who refused to administer the oath. Mr. Smyth stands npon the broad ground that a maa who has declared himself opposed to law and society as it now exists honestly take the required oath- Just what was said or done In the courthouse when Mr. Pentecost presented him self today is kept a secret by the officials. When the other assistants oa Colonel Fellows' staff were sworn in.

Mr. Pentecost was not in the courtroom. At first it was understood that either be had declined to accept the office or Colonel Fellows had i voiced the appointment. But later neither of them would say a word to reporters as to whether Mr. Pentecost would become an assistant district attorney.

The general idea was that he would not be. So general has been the outcry against the appointment and so vigorous has been the denunciations of Colonel Fellows for his action that it is thought that that gentleman doubtless, glad that Recorder Smyth came to his The Colonel, however, refused to ssy that the name had been withdrawn, or that he would insist upon the appointment. urt. r-1-l rn i td Mr. Pentecost stood ia one corner of the room alone.

He was the object of much attention. When the speechmaking was over Colonel Fellows and Mr. Pentecost went to Judge Fitzgerald's room, where they remained for ten minutes. When they eame out the new District Attorney hurried into the courtroom where his assistants were about to be sworn in. Mr.

Pentecost was asked by the reporters why be waa not sworn in with the others. end whether be was to take office at alL He replied that in fifteen minutes he would make a statement to them. It was clear at that time he did not expect to enter the publie service. An explanation could relate only to the reasons why his sppointment was nullified. After he had another talk with Colonel Fellows, who evidently enjoined him not to say a word to the reporters.

aLr. Pentecost announced that he would have to reconsider his promise, of an interview. He refused to answer any question about his not taking office. Colonel Fellows said that the affair would be settled tomorrow. He waa asked if he was going to consult Mr.

Croker first His answer was: No, I am not going to consult Mr. Croker. He has not been eon- suited at all aboutthe appointment I have seen him only once since the election and be merely said be would like to see me make good appointments." tsome politicians said that Mr. croker had not dictated the appointment They explained that it was due to some friends oi the biasphemons ex-clergyman, who knew the Colonel intimately. The new District Attorney had forgotten about Mr.

Pentecost's record. It was sug gested tbst while Mr. Croker hsd done some extraordinary things lately, he would never have given so astonishing an ex ample of poor Judgement. Certainly lew of the Tammany district leaders would have recommended for office so recent a recruit as Mr. Pentecost Then his utterances against religion in general and the Pope in particular are remembered with as much indignation as tils tirades (rain prisons and laws.

It is surmised that Colonel enews saw his mistake, and waa merely easting about lor an easy way to get himself ont oi his plight. FREE rOBUM IK SEW YORK. Fablle Meettags to Bo Held Every Bar-day Evenlag. Naw York, Jan. Special Telegram.

The fact that two gas stoves in the house were burning in full force practically ex plodes the theory of asphyxiation and -the fact that no bruises were found on either person renders the murder theory almost incredible, leaving accidental poisoning as the most probable eaase.
