The day was notable for the general observance or the time-honored custom of calliug. The Reception About 5.hk peopie had been received up to 1.30 o'clock, the hour set for closing the reception; but, as lie crowd still stretched four abreast beyond the outer gates, the I'resiilent directed that the reception proceed, that all might come in. Mrs. McKinley endured the trying ordeal with much composure, remaining alongside the President At one time, as a dainty little girl stepped through, proudly carrying a huge doll, Mis.

McKinley not only greeted the little girl, but also shook bauds with the doll, to the Infinite delight of the little mother. Later when a negro "mammy" held down a tiny baby Mrs. McKinley chucked the tot under the chin and tucked a rosebud amid its laces. It was 2 o'clock when the end of the line appeared, anil the President, waving a final salutation to the lingering guests, escorted Mrs. McKinley to her apartments.

In the long line of New Year's receptions at the White House which each year Inaugurate the social season at the national capital noue perhaps was more brilliant than the one which to-day ushered In the twentieth century. And perhaps no feature of it was so universally gratifying to the distinguished throng which come to extend the greetings of the new year to the Chief Executive of the republic as the fact that the mistress of the White House was able to participate In the happy occasion, and, with the President, receive the felicitations and well wishes of all. A Magnificent Spectacle. grounds of the mansion presented stirring scene as the carriages began to arrive and the long line of army and navy officers, in full uniforms, formed to the left of the massive porte-cochere. Within, under the glamour of myriads of electric lights, which were reflected in the happy faces of Hie shifting throng, nil was brilliancy.

The Marine Hand, stationed under the stairway, discoursed national airs and lively marches throughout the ceremony. The members of the Cabinet and their wives, together with the ladies of the receiving parly, were the first to arrive. They laid aside their wraps III the state dining room and ascended to the private apartments of the President, where I hey exchanged greetings with Mr. and Mrs. Me-Kiuley.

The ladies of the receiving party entered the red and blue parlors and took their places behind tin- line. Meantime-the Ambassadors and Ministers of foreign countries, with the attaches of the various legal Ions in their gorgeous and court uniforms, had gathered In the state dining room. The President Ushered In. Promptly at 11 o'clock the bugles sounded the approach of the Presidential party, and led by Colonel Plnghani, the master of ceremonies and Major McCauley. of the Marine Corps, the President ami Mrs.

Mc-Kinlcy descended the main staircase, followed by the members of the Cabinet and their wives. The party then passed into the blue parlor and took thidr places, while the full Marine Band burst forth with the stirring strains of "Hail to the Chief." In addition to the ladies of the Cabinet the following ladies were invited to occupy places behind the line, and nearly all of them were present: The Misses Hay.

Umbrellas were another feature, made of every conceivable stuff under heaven and loaded down with luce, paper flowers and even stuffed, doves.

These were not only single, but often double and triple, and several captains bore towering affairs, composed of half a dozen uiiibrellas and looking like a Chinese pagoda. Shook tbo Mayor's ITaud. The comic clubs, which followed, were In many cases apparent burlesques of their more ornate predecessors, the capes of the captains, or "suits." as they are termed in shooters' parlance, being made of old fish net, nigs, pieces of cast olf hummocks or anything else the rug bag or garret could afford. Rut some of the take-offs were excellent. Again, It seemed to be a favorite idea to make the cape of a single piece of flat material, on which would be arranged miniature scenes, such as the late camp of the National Guard at (Iretua.

while others would be tilled with a heterogeneous collection of old shoes, hats, scrubbing brushes, brooms, and labeled "Bargain Counter" or "Rummage Sale." Then there were companies of Chinese Boxers and lioim guards. Imps from the Inferno with horns und hoofs, princes and paupers, fairies and gnomes, jumping, hop. ting, bowing, scraping, whirling to the music of the twenty or more bands dis. i trlbuted through the three mile long line. Female Impersonators, some In the most up-to-date tailor-made costumes, and so cleverly "made up" that it was difficult to discover their real sex, mincing daintily along or giving themselves up lo (he wild abandon of the cake walk.

due of these raised a hearty laugh and cheer by darling out of the line und reaching up band to that of the Mayor, who shook It cordially, amid shouts of laughter from all who saw the Incident. This established precedent, and the next who grasped the Mayoral band was a strapplug black wench attired In the most grotesque fashion Imaginable, at which the laughter was redoubled. The Reversible) Automobile. An alleged automobile was one of the funniest features of the parade. This consisted of a rickety htifrsy, around the front wheels of which pieces of jute tagging were interwoven to represent pneumatic tires.

This was propelled by a raw-ribbed animal to the rear of the n- trivancc. guided by a niunimer astride of his back, while the front wheels were steered by means of straps attached to the axle. This "auto" would charge down upon the crowd lining the sidewalks, and when within a few feet of tlienl skilfully divert its course ill a way that made the Mayoral sides shake with mirth. A diversion on Hroad street In front of the Lafayette Hotel threatened for a time to disrupt the whole parade. A eluli was passing, when from the windows' above came down shower of small coins.

This was the signal for a wild rush and scramble on the part of all who were near' enough to take advantage of this sudden windfall. Pages dropped the gorgeous capes they were carrying and Joined In the scrimmage, while a company of remembering doubtless the looting of l'ekin. hurled themselves headlong Into the thickest of the fray to obtain pecuniary revenge for the spoliation of the Celestial palaces. In a few minutes the shower ceased and the clubs straightened themselves out once mora and proceeded onward. May Come Attala Next Tear.

It was 10.20 when the head of tho line reached the reviewing stand, and It was just two hours later when the last club had passed. In a few minutes the judges had decided the standing of the organizations with regard to the cash prizes offered by the city, the ropes were lowered and the crowd began to disperse, but not before Cotninliteenian lletzel, to whose efforts the success of the parade Is largely due, had expressed his opinion that the people had been so well pleased with the dhow that they would look for a repetition of It next New Yenr's Day. And so perhaps the passing of the Philadelphia shooter Is not yet. NEW YEAR'S BREAKFAS1 IN LIPPINCOTT HOME IIouo In Walnut Street the Scene of Usual Festivities for Friends and Relatives. Mr.

If President McKinley's New Year's rei-eptlon proves greater than that of General MacArthur It will not be tin- fault of the people of Manila.

This leception was the first official social function at which the Americans and Filipinos have mingled in a social way. Admiral Remey received the callers by the side of General and the wives of seven generals assisted. The introductions were made by General Mao-Arthur's stuff, assisted by members of the staiT of Admiral Remey. Archbishop Chappelle, the Apostolic. Delegate to the Philippines, and othpr church dignitaries wore received tlrst.

The members of the Philippine Commission and the Judges appeared in black frock coats, and their attire formed a decided contrast to the white and gold uniforms of the officers of the army and navy. The Filipino women wore elaborate native cost uiues and conversed affably in Spanish. JlN 'iftVAL JMDEMTXS RECEPTPM "SUNDAY BREAKFASTS DINE Beautiful Now Year Feast at the Twelfth Street JMIshIom.

of North AmerlcHii street, was arrested late on Monday night, on the charge of recklessly firing off Ills revolver and shooting MIsh Ilzzle Cox, of 2(44 North Third street, and her escort, Klhvood Kreiw, of Monmouth street. He was arraigned before Magistrate I'ulllnger yesterday morning and held In $WK) ball for court. Miss ox nor her escort were seriously hurt, and were abli to appear against Smith yesterday. Smith whs standing at Kleventh and Unco streets, and as Mkss Cox and Kreas passed he fired a shot. The bullet passed through the young woman's arm above the elbow and then struck Kreas.

Smith tried to escape, but was captured by Policeman "Martz. Miss Cox and her escort were taken to the Hahnemann Hospital, where their wounds were dressed. Before holding Smith In ball the Magistrate lectured him severely, saying: "Your own common sense should have told you that It was dangerous to have used hall cartridges in a revolver In such a crowd." SHOOTERS FIGHT IN SQUARE Clown and a Blnok-Facod Mummer Huva a Drawn Battle. Two youthful New Year's shooters of decided pugilistic proclivities created tome excitement In Washington Square yesterday afternoon. One was In negro costume and the olher In clown nppsirel.

As they passed each other he lit the burnt cork Bwung his club and struck the clown upon the, arm. That started the trouble, and In a moment a buttle was on. For fully ten minutes; the combat waged, much to to delectation It was a groat parade, that of (he consolidated New Year's "shooters' chilis. Everybody said so. even those who hud been most sceptical concerning, it when the plan was first proposed, and thai vox populi Is vox del Is a proverb held as saered by till who pretend to adhere lo American principles.

Therefore the shooters' parade can be set down as a pronouiuvd success. There were those who said that, the clubs would allow jealousy and rivalry among the various organizations, which had never before paraded together, to spoil the whole affair by quibbling over questions of pre-cedence, right of line, etc. If there was any audi feeling It was surmounted by the desire to make the procession one which, should be worthy of the great event in the celebration of which it was a part, and the bodies moved together without confusion or wrangling. Substitutes for Two Judges. Nearly twenty clubs were In line as The parade swept up road street, from the place of formation at Reed street: seventeen, to be exact, of which four were fancy dress clubs and eleven comic.
