Two Nebraska Ladies in Washington, Philadelphin Times: The Nebras| senators, Van Wyck and Manderson, are also beilliantly represented in the sera- torial circle. Mrs. Van Wyek was Miss Kate Brondhead, of Milford. Pa., daugh ter of Colonel John H. Broadhead, farmer and merchant, of Pike connty and of the eastern branch of the colonial and revo lutionary fannly of that name mn the Key- stone commonwerlth. During the time that Mr. Van Auken represented the Pike sounty (Pa.) district in congress, Mr. Van Wyck represented the Orange county (N. Y.) district, which stretched along the enposite shore of the Delaware. During the gay season at the capital Mrs. Van Auken was in the habit of having her sis ter, one of the belles of northeastern Pennsylyania, assist her in her social dutie; Washington, where Miss Kate became a great favorite. Upon one oe- casion Mrs. Van Auken and her sister were present at a gr reception given by Postmaster Genoe Randall. "The member from New York beyond the waters of the Delaware was also present, and during the evening had the honor of ng introduced by Mrs. Van Auken to her sister, Miss Kate Broadhead, of Mil- ford, Pa. The fate of the mvmbq from New York was sealed. Acquaintance rapidly blossomed into love and love bloomed into matrimony, and Miss Kate Brondhead, of Milford, Pa., became Mrs, Charles I1.

Mrs. Manderson, who is very beautiful and dresses elegantly and in excellent taste, takes great p\«usun, in giving happiness 1o ber friends by inviting them to Washingion as her guests during the season. Soclety Women. The last week before Lent was duly crowded with the gaieties that usually wrecede the season of penitence. Omaha is becoming so metropolitan n the num- ber and nature of its entertainments that to keep in the ring involves a waste of nervous force that few are able to sustain withont saeriticing for society more thun can possibly be gained from it. The round has been so unbroken this winter that in many cases the female head of the house has required to be introduced 1o ber family about once a week, when Sunday necessarily brought a cessation in the dizzy whirl and gave the masculine siae some show for recognition. The usual order of things secms to be re- versed in this progressive period, and in- stead of the husband doing the dissipnt- g for the fumily, the wives are havinga monopoly of it and seem to take to it nut- urally. is a much more philosophic and lady-like meihod of asserting the rights of women than aspiring to the lec- ture platform and ,,--mnw the reputation of being strong minded. The society woman is usnally pretty deep with all her apparent artiessness and she knows bot- ter than to make berself ridiculous and frighton away the men with an assump- tion of authority, but she nevertheless vules her domain’ with suave, though re- lentless, persistency and revels in her sovereignty the more that it is gained without apparent effort. Only men who have been made sadder and wiser by means of matrimony can bear witness to the snares and pitfalls of the sweetly sub- missive feminine character. The Kvent of the Week, “The Patti concert was an epoch that crowded all socinl happenings to the wall. Anticipation was so intense that no oue felt like scttling down o ordinary guivties until the exeitement bad subsided. A few are privately taking themselves to task for having been borne along with the current, and are shghtly embittered over the concessions that now and then have to be paid to fashion. That the diva was universally admired goes with- out saying, but mot many would go through the discomfort of that mght again even for the queen of song. The Jamming, reckless crowd, the sullmg at- mosphere, the uncomfortable the plague of intervening bonnet the end of the concerta welcome release. ‘Women who had the slightest regard for the fitness of things, not o speak of the convenience of others, removed their bonnets, but a large npnnklmf of them, with the relinement of crae g that is pre-eminently the stiribute of perverse womankind, kept their heads cov and caused more profanity than six weeks of fasting can blot out. , One man, attor yvainly roquesting unh’}w to have an oflfending hat removed from before Nhim, stood up for the rest of the evening, and his seat wus appropriated by another person, There ought to be a stringent aw against the wearing of bonuets in a concert hall, to reach those who are too solfish 10 be influenced by motives of psideration for others or to adopt any innovation until their “set” has sane- tioned it, .

The Martha Washington fancy dress party given at the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.

The Kecelpts of Cattie Insuflicient to Make a Market—Hogs Active With an Uptarn in Prices— Quotations, CHITAGO PRODUCE MARKET, CwicAaao, Feb. 20, —(Special Telegram to the Ber)—There is hardly anybody left in the provision pit who belleves that this is an Armour pork deal. A fortnight ago opinlon was all one way, and it was unanimous that nobody but Armour could possibly get pork up from €00 to §14.00. A weck ago there appeared a division of unanimity and there were as many who belieye the pork deal was Ream's and Jones manipulation was Armour May pork almost £16,00,there are very few in- deed who believe the corner one of Armour’s, 1t is getting to be belleved that theclique hns not a bicger man in than N. B, Ream, and that when Nat Jones, N. B, Ream and Leo- peld Bloom are named there arc no others to be included among the engineers of the pork squeeze. Thatit is a clever manipulation nobody denies, Remn and Jones were stalk- ing about the provision ecrowd muttering about “Armour’s unholy practices” until they really got the crowd to believe that their Indignation was righteous. Admirers of the latter of those two operators e holding up their hands nt “Ream was not that kind of a f but this does not go any longer. The squeeze is 1leam’s and Jones and Bloow’s, and the shorts must swear at them. The point is now, ean the cligue sell the stuff and get the proiits in sight safely in its pockets? When Cudahy and the other members of the little syndicate sold 1,000,000 bushels of wheat under 7S¢ yesterdav they explained their sales in this way: If the Cineinnsti clique does not succeed in corner- ing May wheat the price will o because of their failure a good deal lower than if the effort had never been made, Now how ean May wheat be successfully cornered? The rule makes winter wheat deliverable on con- tracts and 3,500,000 bushels of winter wheat can be got at St. Louis for a less price even, although it isa better grade than spring No. 2 at Chicago, All that it would = cost there would be the freight. There nre 4,000,000 bushels of wheat at Mil- waukee and 10,000,000 bushels at Duluth and els at Minneapolis, All this wheat y 10 this market. If there is a corner lmn- every bushel of wheat in the country, winter as well as spring, can be brought here. It is a mere question of freight. That wasn't the case in the days When Armont ana Handy and McGeooh and George C. Walker and N© K, Fairbanks ran ir suecesstul deals here. Tn part an ad- ce of 10 cents was scared at the ve ning, when May w fivmly held at 214, and it soon touched €1 firm butat the same time steady tone prevailed in wheat and corn. The former opencd at e and the Jatter at 33%c and both stayed aluiost exactly whero they opened, There was not enough stuff for sale to depress prices nor sofficient buying orders on the tioor to bring out auny ed advance, Pork continued on up to § ). there not being \'('r{ much for sale. Wheat waos fairly bought by local seal|x teady around 78l ked _up during tho {@3%7%c. The regular dispo- sition to clear up tiade over Sunday was av- parent everywhere, the session advanced a dearth of news a o values was very noticeuble in pork. There was practically nothing else talked about. May l('l\(llt'«l $16.20, but failed to remain there owing to the absence of either ouiside or local orders, By noon May had reacted to &1 bid, but was firm under light offerings. The talk is for 100,000 hogs at the yards mext week, which means lizht enough receipts to attract some attention and doubtless exert more or less ol intlygnee on the speculative market, T'ract 1 that wheat bulls had to console themselves with was the prospect of a de crease in the visible Monday in the neighbor hood of 1,000,000 bushels, Locally there was no trade calenlated to attract any attention. Once during the morning May kot as high ad tge and fell later to 75/.@75 1 e, not be- catise it'was beared® but_because it met with nosupport at all. Nobody evineed any dis- on to trade and by noon half of the regular operators had either deserted the pit altogether or were sitting around idie and penmitting the market to Took ont for itself, Toward the close it was steady around c when wheat weaker. Pork fell , but entirely recovered. Just closing & good deal of interest sprang up in ribs, themarket being bid up by e short interest.
