New Year Ix-gan with a cold disagreeable rain which, continuing throughout the dav. naturally had a depressing effect upon those who had prepared a program of visits, i ne w line iioune was as usual, the central point of interest. There have been ol course, many similuroccnsions at that historic mansion, but those whose memory and experience ndd weight to their judgment, agree that no one of its predecessors hns exceeded in brilliuncv the first olficiul reception given by the head of the present administration; cer tainly never bclore has there been at the White House reception, and such laric und distinguished representation from other nations of the world. This was due to the presence, in addition to the regular diplomatic nnd consular officers ol other countries, of the delegates to the international maritime conference, nnd delegates to the imn-Amcricun confer. ence. 1 he presence ol these distinguished foreigners wns naturally the leading icniure oi tne reception, The mansion had been sneciallv ore pared for the occasion, and when the re ception was at its hiiL'ht. orcscntcd a spectacle oi unusual iicuuty ana splendor. The full Murine hand, in gay uniforms ol red and blue, was stationed in the vesti bule just inside the mum entrance, nnd with hut few intermissions, nlaved lively nnd inspiring music from the time the President took his stand at the bend ol the receiving line in the blue parlor, until ne last oi tnc callers had taken Ins tic larture, a period of little over three hours. 1 he interior decorations, while not elaborate, were very effective, con sisting of a liberal distribution ol tropical and flowering plants where they could be lisjilayed to advantage. 1 he general effect was also brightened bv the brilliant illumination of all the parlors; bright gas light being reflected from myriads of iridescent crystals nnd umcrous I' rent h nlale tMuss mirrors. Tall India rublicY plants niinuled with delicate ferns nnd ivy lined the main corridor nnd fitted every alcove. In the east room opposite the corridor wns u huge bank ol tropical plant tastefully arranged, reaching nearly to the ceiling, and many broad inauirls of the east room were ornamented with choice plains in gilded pots. The red and green parlors also contained a profusion of plants and flowers; but the blue parlor where the reception was actually held. gave indication ol having received the grcutcst share of attention from the lecorator. 1n this room, in adtlition to lilierul display of rose plant, ferns nnd smilnx, there wn a profusion of cut owers. including roses, ooiuscttas. tulips, camclins, hyacinths, nzulcus, car nations, jnponicas and begonias. These were banked in bright designs upon the mantels and served to form a huue bou quet on the central divan. I ne large aoor-way .. oncit oi tne room was connected by a nu.nber of tall inrge icavea plants wmca lurmea a oeau tiful back-ground for the lecciving party. 1 he reception printer did not lK-gin un til eleven o'clock ; but the vice-president nd members ol tne cabinet, with the In icsof their fuinilicsarrived shortly before that hour, and were shown dintllv into he President' presence in the private parlor up stairs. When everything was in readiness the President und party de scended to t nc blue parlor, und took their places in line. 1 lie Marine onna signalled theirnrrivai ith the extremely familiar air, "Hail to the chief." The party entered the blue room in the following order: Col. r.rnest, tinted State Army, and icut. Purker, United Stntes Navy; the resident nnd Mrs. McKcc. Vice-president nd Mrs. Morton, the Secretary ol State nd Mrs. S. U.

She enrrird a large botiiiuct of Catherine Mcrinct roses, and followed the example of her mother in acknowledging the general in troduction by n bow instead of by tliak itta hands. The President, however, dhered to precedent and shook hands with each one of the thousand who lied. Hack of the receiving line were a large number especially invited friends, in cluding nearly all debutants ol the season. Among them' were the following named Indies: Mrs. Harlan, Mr Lognn, Mr. Hale, Mrs. C.onnan, Mis.

They were presented by Secretary lllaine assisted by the other oflicinlt of the State Department. All were in full Court costume and added n brilliant coloring to the scene with their jewelled order and profusion of gold lace. The most striking costume were those worn by the rcpresrntntive of Russia, ('.rent Ilrituin, Prance, China and Coren, All thelrgntioni were represented the English and Chinese being the largest in point of numbers. Mott of the dip lomat were accompanied by the Indie. The absence of Hndje Hassin Khooli Khan Mahomet lilencsnri, the only Per sian minister ever nccredited to this country wns frequently remarked, and none Bccmcd able to answer the enquiry which followed as to whether he willever return to Washington. The column wns headed by Karon Fnvn, the Italian min ister who is dead of the corps by vir tue of his length of service at this enp ital. With the diplomatic corns were the de legates to the maritime and Pan-Amer- iciin conferences, In many instances the resident ministers are delcuutcs to these contcrenccs, out only to n limited extent as a large majority of dclegntes are not regular members of legations nt this capital. 1 he President showed a speciul pleasure in the reception of the delegates, congratulating those of the maritime conference upon the successful issue of their deliberation. The only other dip lomatic visitors were mcniWs of the Venezuelan claim commission.

Admiral Porter did not attend on account of bad weather. It was now twelve o'clock and the re ception liccnme all the more general in its character. Indeed callers became so numerous and followed each other so closely that the President wns compiled to restrict Ins welcome to a single shake of the hand nnd simple "glad to sec you." Those received in this manner in- lulled the officers of the Smithsonian Institution, the civil service commission ers, the inter-Stute commerce commis sioners, assistant secretaries and chid dicers ol the various departments mid the faculty of the Columbian Institute lor the dciif and dumb. , The reception lasted until 2 o'clock. and it is estimated that during that time the President shook hands with nearly six thousand people.

G., Of Philadelphia College or rharmacv, Apothecary, 34 south Main St. The Old Year has drawn to a close, and with the beginning of the New Year we wish to thank the public for their patronage and recognition of our efforts to do our full duty. We are fully con scious that it is to them that we owe the unexpected success of the past year, in which our business has been more than doubled, and we can only regard it as a new evidence that our business maxims ate such as to cause our customers to have confidence in us and attract those who are cautious in dealing with any Pharmacist until they have become fully assured of the nature and extent of his business principles. In out dealing with the public we realize that the most scru- u7ous care and honesty are paramount in importance. If these are virtues in all ordinary business transactions, they become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and without them no one can be a true Phar macist. The health, maybe the life, of those dealing with the Apothecary de- IKnds upon them. We consider it our most sacred duty to shun adulterations and spoiled as well as inferior drugs. They constitute an evil from which Phar macy sutlers no less than the public. The evil is not a new one, inaugurated in late yenrs; it has existed as long as there were men whose cupidity was stronger than their sense of justice, and it will doubtless continue as long a there may be men with conceptions of business so vague that they exiiect to purchase gold for the money value of dros- There are no other moral principles required for transacting a Pharmaceutical business than are necessary for any ullur business.
