THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY SENDING 1T OUT IN STYLE. Row the Local “Swim" Temporarily Buried the Bocial Season. PATTI'S PROMINENT PRESENCE Intelligent Oritiqne of the Diva's Binging—Brilliant Ante-Lenten Receptions and Parties—Gen- eral Social Gossip. Two Nebraska Ladies in Washington, Philadelphia Times: The Nebrask nators, Van Wyck and Manderson, ar also brilliantly represented in the sera torial circle. Mrs. Van Wyck was M Kate Broadhead, of Milford. Pa., daug) ter of Colonel John H. Broadhead, farmer and merchant, of Pike county and of the castern branch of the colonial and revo lutionary fanuly of that name m the Key- stone commonwelth. During the time that Mr. Van Auken represented the Pike county (Pa.) district in congress, Mr. Van Wyck represented the Orange county (N. Y.) district, which stretched along the onposite shore of the Delaware. During the gay season at the capital Mrs. Van Auken was in the habit of having her si one of the belles of northe: assist her in her sociul dutics at Washington, where Miss Kate became a great favorite. Upon one oc- casion Mrs. Van Auken and her sister were present at a gre: ption given by Postmaster General Randall. “The member from New York beyond th waters of the Delaware was also present, and during the evening had the honor of being introduced by Mrs. Van Auken to her sister, Miss Kate Broudhead, of Mil- ford, Pa. The fate of the member from New York was sealed. Acquaintance apidly blossomed into love and love bloomed into matrimony, and M Kate Broadhead, of Milford, Pa., beeame Mrs, Charles I1. Van \\'e‘(-k, ot Middletown, N. Y., and on March 4, 1881, went a step lagher in the social af- fairs of the nation's capital as Mrs. Sen- ator Van Wyck. T h|il'llurmin§z daughter of Pennsylvania’s county of e for six years has been one of the ornaments of the senatorial social eircle. The in ruption of the senator’s own succession for another term will deprive Washing- ton_society of one of 1ts most popular ladies. The wife of the jumor senator from Nebraska is another of the, Uurli(‘ulnrly attractive married ladies of Washington. Mrs, Manderson was Mrs. Rebecca S Brown, of Canton, O. Her father, A. S. Brown, was one of the prominent lawyers of thut state. Her grandfather, John Hurris, who settled in Ohio in 1814, was an influential whig politician, and made a vigorous speech in the convention at Philadelphia in 1848 in favor of Mullard Fillmore for vice president, which con- tributed largely to his nomination. Mrs. Manderson, who is ve beautiful and dresses elegantly and in excellent taste, takes great pleasure in giving happiness to her lady friends by inviting them to Washinglon as her guests during the season. Soclety Women. The last week before Lent was duly crowded with the gaieties that usunlly wvrecede the season of penitence. Omaha is becoming so metropolitan in the num- ber und nature of its entertainments that to keep in the ring involves a waste of nervous force that few are able to sustain withont sacerilicing for society more than can possibly be gained from it. ‘The round has been so unbroken this winter that in many cases the female head of the house b required to be introduced to her family about once a week, when Sunday necessarily brought a cessation in the dizzy whirl and gave the masculine sde some show for recognition. The usual order of things seems to be re- versed in this progressive period, and in- stead of the hushband doing the dissipat- g for the family, the wives are hayvinga monopoly of it ani seem to take Lo it nat- urally. This is a much more philosophic and lady-like method of asserting the rights of women than aspiring to the lec- ture platform and getting the reputation of being strong minded. The society woman is usually pretty deep with all her apparent artlessness and she knows bot- ter than to make herself ridiculous and frighten awny the men with an assump- tion of authority, but she nevertheless yules her domain with suave, though re- lentless, persistency and revels in her sovereignty the m that it is gained without apparent effort. Only men who have been made sadder and wiser by menns of matrimony can bear witness to the suares and pitfalls of the sweetly sub- missive feminine character. The Kvent of the Week, The Patti concert was an epoch that crowded social happenings to the wall. Anticipation was so intense that no oue felt like settling down to ordinary guioties until the exeitement had subsided. A few are privately taking themsclves to task for having been borne along with the current, and are slghtly 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 not many would go through the discomfort of that mght again even for the queen of song. The jamming, reckless crowd, the stifling at- mosphere, the uncomfortable seats and the plagune of intervening bonnets, made the end of the concerta welcome release. Women who bad the slightest regard for the titness of things, not io speak of the convenience of others, removed their vonnets, but a large sprinkling of them, with the relinement n(uruefi that is pre-eminently the sttribute ..?p.-. rse womankind, kept their heads covered and caused more profanity than six weeks of fasting ean blot out. , One man, atter vainly roquesting an ushér to have an offending hat removed from before him, stood up for the rest of the evening, and his seat was appropriated by another person. There onght to be & ‘stringent aw against the wearing of bonuets in a concert hall, to reach those who are too selfish 1o be intluenced by motives of consideration for others or to sdopt any such innovation until their “set” has sanc- tioned it, i A Dinner to Patu, Atthe dinner to Mme. Patti given by Mr. and Mrs. K, Rosewater at their residence, No. 1711 Dounglas street, on Friday, there woere present Mme. Adelina Patti and husband, M. Nicolini, Miss Neally and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew er. After dinner Miss Stevens fuvored the guests with several recitu- tions on the pinno, which were pro- nounced by both Mme. Patti and M, Nicolini as musieal gems. Mo, Patti W very favorably improsscd with Miss Steveus, and extended Lo her a very cor- disl invitation to visit hor howe at Craig-y-Nos eastle, Wales. Mme. Patti also took occasion to prosent Mrs. K. llud-\\x\u;rwimusuu\un!.'m'hrsh:u-rnh handsome and unique arrew-shaped pin iaid with rubies -and dumonds, The distinguished sopgstress wus very inuch vleased with trer reception in Omaha nnd expressed sujicise at the immense and L ence which grocted her estion building. She took ber o very lavorsble impres- ®ion . of the eity, and did not hesitate to say that Omaha’ would long live 1n %her memory Fancy Dress Party. The Martha Washiogton fancy dress party given at the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Brown Tuesday evening was an event that will inger for many months in the recollection of those who were so fortunate as to receive an invitation, Everything was managed on such a seale of large generosity that the young people had nothing left to wish for and were made so supremely happy that their satisfaction must have been ampie compensation for every effort that was put forth for their enjoyment. The house is one of Omaha's handsomest structures and is well designed for party giving, The entire lower floor 3 thrown open by means of folding doors, 1wl the orch wtioned in the large hullw orations were of white wool glittering with diammond dust go that the house had the aspect of a frost palace.

FEBRUARY 27, 1887.—~TWELVE PAGKES. WHO IS RUNNING THE DEAL? Tho Provision Pit in Doubt as to Who is Manipulating Pork, PORK AGAIN OPENS HIGHER. The Iteceipts of Cattle Insufiiclent to Make a Market—Hogs Active With an Upturn in Prices— Quotations, CHITAGO PRODUCE MARKET, CmicAao, Feb. 20.—(Special Telegram to the Brr )—There is hardly anybody left in the provision pit who believes 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 £5,00 to $14.00. A week ago there appeared a division of unanimity and there were as many who believed that the pork deal was Ream's and Jones' ns that the manipulation was Armour's, Now, with May pork almost £16,00,there are very few in- deed who believe the corner one of Armour's, It is getting to be belleved that the clique has not a bicger man in than N. B. Ream, and that when Nat Jones, N. B. eam and Leo- pold Bloom are named there are no others to be included among the engineers of the pork squeeze, Thatit is a clever manivulation nobody denies, Rewmn and Joues were sta ing about the provision crowd muttering about “Armour’s unholy practice they really got the crowd to believe that their Indignation was righteous. Admirers of the latter of those two operators were for a long while holding up their hands sseverating that “Ream was not that but this does not go any longer. The squeeze is Ieam’s and Jones' and Bloom's, and the shorts must swear at them. The point is now, ean the clique sell the stufl 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 T¥c yesterday 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 successfuliy 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 is a better grade than spring No. 2 at Chleago, All that it ald ” cost there would be the freight. ~There 4,000.000 bushels of wheat at Mil- waukee and 10,000,000 bushels at Duluth and 7,500,000 bushels at Minneapoli All this wheat is tributary {o this market. 1f there is a corner hore every bushel of wheat in the country, winter as well as spring, can be brought here. It is a mere question of freight, Thatwasn’t the case in the days when Armour and Handy and_McGeoch and George C. Walkerand N. K, Fairbanks ran their successful deals | In part an ad- vance of 10 cents was scared at the very opening, when May was firmly held at £10.0215."and it soon touched £16.15, A firm but'at the same time steady tone prevailed in wheat and corn. ‘The former opencd at e and the latter at 35%c and both stayed almost exactly where they opened. was not enough stuff for sale to depress prices nor suflicient buying orders on th tioor to bring out any decid Pork continued on up to 16,20, buing very much for sale, Wheat wns fairly bought by local sealpe but * kept very steady around Nl @is%e. Corn picked "up during the first hour 1o 881;@387%c. The, regular dispo- sition to clear up trade over Sunday was ap- parent everywhere. As the session advanced a dearth of news affecting values w y noticenble in pork. There was practically nothing else talked about. May reached 0, but failed to remain there owing to ther ouiside or loeal orders, v had reacted to $16.07:7 bil was firm under light offerings.
