| K.OF P. RECEPTION AND BALL.
A Superb Affair With Over 400
Guests Present.
For the past week the very air has
been rife with the discussion of the
great Knights of Pythias reception
and ball. Now this magnificent event
is a thing ot the past and hundreds of
Texarkana’s choicest social spirits can
safely testify that never before in our
city’s social experience has so hand-
some and brilliant an essemblage of
people been so royally received and
graciously and gracefully entertained
as were those who gathered at the
Benefield hotel last night as guests of
the gallant and chivalrous Knights of
Pythis of Texarkana.
At 8:30 o'clock last evening the
earlier guests of the occasion began to
assemble and from this time forward
until the notes of the grand march
sounded through the halls announ-
cing that the evening’s gaieties had
begun a constant stream of exquisite-
ly attired ladie; and handsomely
dressed gentlemen poured into the
halls and parlors of the hotel.
From the ouside the hotel building
appeared a perfect blaze of light while
from within groups ot beautiful flow-
crs lovely ferns and banks of exquis-
itely arranged evergreens met and
charmed the eye of the beholder upon
every gide. To enter into a full or
‘minute description of the decorations
‘would necessarily pre-empt more space
ithan would be warrantable in an arti-
cle of this nature. Suffice it to say
however that upon every hand of the
interior bore unmistable marks of
taste and skill giving evidence every-
where of woman’s inimitable genius
and exquisite touch.
The success of the occasion was due
in a great measure to the eflicient ser-
vices of the excellent members com-
prising the several committees of ar-
rangements reception floor etc.
Never perhaps since ‘ye olden time
has a handsomer or more gallant body
of knights assembled than those of
the chivalric Pythian erder who with
their fair wives graceful daughters
and lovely sweethearts played the
gracious part of host and hostesses
with becoming grace and distinquish-
ed honor on this gala occasion. Dash-
ing and handsome indeed appeared
the gallant Knights of the Uniform
Rank with their soldierly bearing and
brilliant equipments. Indeed the
entire affair was a feast of pleasure
beauty and mirth. Beauty shone
forth resplendant and wit sparkled
from prattling joyous lips.
At 10 o’clock the reception closed
and the ball was opened with a grand
march led by the Knights of the Uni-
form Division. I'rom thence on un-
til 12 o’clock under the inspiring in-
fluence of entrancing music the dance
reigned supreme and “joy was uncon-
fined.”
At 12 o’clock the “witching hour”
lunch was announced and the vast
throng of over three hundred guests
were marshalled into divisions of fifty
couples each and escorted to the
tables where an appetising
report awaited them. After Lunch
dancing was again begun and merry
feet continued “tripping the light
fantastic” until aurora’s dainty fingers
could be seen tracing the glory of a
new morn upon the divine canvass of
the Eastern Ileavens - Then with
many fond farewells courteous com- |
pliments and kind expressions of
pleasure and approval the Knights'
honored guests bade them adien The
sound of revelry then ceased the
lights grew dim music seased her
silvery sound hushed to sleep in {he
arms of the Terpsichorean muse and
the Reception Banquet and Ball of
the Knights of Pythias of Texarkana
became a thing of the past; a delicious
mewmory instead of a joyous reality
To give a list of the guests present
would be impossible as they compris-
ed the entire social life of our city to-
gether with many distinguished guests
from adjoining cities. Comprising
altogether an assemblage never ex-
celled in the social history of Texar-
kana “Pruro.”
The Thanksgiving Dinners
All was life and activity on Broad
street about noon especially about the
two places where the lndies of the East-
ern Star and Christian church were
each entertaining their friends with a
fine Thanksgiving dinner. Both were
liberally patronized by the public gen-
erally insomuch that large numbers
‘were forced to await their turn before
they could be rerved. :
The Texarkana cornet band dis-
coursed sweet music on the street
which added to the interest and zest
of the occasion "
At the time we go to press the
ladies at each place are still kept as
busy as bees. The general verdict is
that a splendid success has been achiev-
ed by the ladies as usual
f THE COMET.
Prof Young the noted Princeton
N. J. astronomer says of the new
"comet: Instead of approaching the
earth it is in all probability ascending
[ from it says Prof. Young and further-
‘ more according to the iatest date it
! is not a fragment of the Bielas comet
| as many astronomers supposed.”
| “Continuing” the Princeton astron-
omer said “while the path of the
comet at first apparently coincided
with that of the Bielas comet which
has been noted and observations made
indicates strongly the contrary of re-
ports heretofore made public by news-
papers. |
“Whether the comet is approaching
or receding from the earth it will not
be definitely proved until Saturday
when the earth’s path crosses that of
the Bielas comet some twenty-four
hours ahead of the body making it
impossible for a collision to occur
“To view the sensational reports
current facts brought out by careful
observation may prove of interest. In
the first place the comet lacks the
usual nucleus of concentric spheres
and envelopes which is so prominent
in other bodies of like characte r
its density is less than that of
the sO-called vacuum in the globe of
an incandescent lamp and lastly spec-
trospec observations indicate particles
of the comet which vary in size from
that of a large boulder shining with a
light reflected from the sun
“All of thege facts go to show that
the comet is in an acquiescent state
and should the earth pass through it
(for it is probably some 80000 in di-
ameter) the effect will be that of an
unusually bright display of meteorites
a few of which may possibly reach the
earth while most of the fused with in-
tense heat generated while passing
through the atmosphere.”

The Populite Had to Walk.
Mel. Branch a member of the State
legislature from Columbia county
walked from Thomson to Augusta a
distance of twenty miles in payment
of an election bet. Branch was chair-
man of the platform committee at the
Omaha convention and consequently
an enthusiastic People’s party man.
He made a bet with Passenger Agent
White of the Georgia railroad for a
foot walk from Thomson to Augusta
that Watson would be elected to con-
gress Watson was defeated

RETURNS FROM OHIO.
Republicans are Welcome to all the
Satisfrction it Affords. !
After holding back as long as possi-
ble and doing much “doctoring” the
Secretary of State at Columbus Ohio
announces that all of the returns are
in from the late election except the
vote on state ticket in Fayette county.
The exact figures of this have been ag-
certained The total vote in the State
was 824208 In the last four years
the vote ought to have increased not
less than 55000 and it was estimated
that the total vote this year would
reach 892000 at least. It ismnorethan
40000 short of this figure and the
reasonable supposition is that nearly
if not quite that many voters took so
little interest in the election
that they remained away from
the polls The totals on the presi-
dential electors give Danford (Rep.)
a plurality of 1074 over Seward (Dem.)
and that will be accepted as the Repub-
lican plurality in the State Danford
ran 2476 ahead of the other presi-
dential electors on the Republican
ticket whom Seward beats by a plu-
rality of 1402 8. M. Taylor ran be-
‘hind the presidential ticket in more
ways than one his plurality over W.
A. Taylor Democratic candidate for
Secretary of State being 973 The
pluralities of other candidates cannot
be figured out for some time
South Carolina and Prohibition
The Gieneral assembly met at Col-
umbia 8. C. Tuesday and will re-
main 1n session thirty days At the
Democratic primaries last year a ma-
jority of the people voted for prohibi-
‘tion and in accordance with this ex-
pression of popular will a prohibition
bill will be introduced and passed
Most of the members feel pledged by
‘the primary vete to support prohibi-
tion but some say that the vote was
not general enough and will fight the
bill to the last ditch Some measure
with reference to refunding the pub-
lic debt will be passed. ‘T'he debt ag-
gregates $6000000 and the bill will
probably provide to refund at 4} per
cent .

CLEVELAND DISGUSTED.
Says Officeseekers Must Wait Until
He is Inaugurated.
The inordinate greed fur office has
been strongly illustrated in the thous-
ands of applications already going in
to Grover Cleveland. It is enough to
disgugt anybody and the President-
elect is not to be blamed at being
tired of such a thing. He is not Presi-
dent now and why sensibie men will
thus attempt to importune Lim is be-
yond reason and all such should be
made to take a back seat and wait as
is intimated will be done
Tuesday Cleveland concluded to
run away from such botheration and
80 left New York In talking before
his departure he said:
“I fully appreciate the good will and
friendliness which these letters indi-
cate and shall not omit as time allows
to read every ome of them. These
good friends of course will not expect
any replies to their communications
for that will be utterly out of the ques-
tion and the most I can do is to say
through the nress that I am not un-
mindful of their kindness. Many of
the callers whom I am obliged to re-
ceive would not I think have en-
croached upon my time if they had
given the matier a moment’s reflec-
tion. Those who called upon me to
talk about offices it seems to me have
been & little inconsiderate and certain-
ly unnecessarily premature. I desire
to give as much publicity as possible
to the statement that I do not propose
to consider applications for office prior
to my inauguration and shall avoid
all interviews on the subject. Those
who under any pretense gain an op-
portunity to present applications or-
ally and those who burden me at this
time with written apprications cannof
possibly do anything which would so
interfere with their chances of success.
Written applications will be so little
regarded that I doubt if they ever see
the files in Washingtou for there is
no reason or decency in my being
overwhelmed with such matters at
this time.”
Upon being asked how long he ex-
pected to be away on his vacation Mr
Cleveland replied:
“As to that I am not certain. It
will depend upon various conditions
I expect however to be absent about
two weeks and when I return unless
I am symewhat relieved from the un-
necessary demand upon my timo to
which I have been subjected here thus
far I shall shut up my house in the
city and find some more quiet place to
gpend the winter Certainly between
now and the 4th of March I ought to
have some time to devote to other
matters than recerving callers and con-
sidering subjects which should be
postponed.”
