THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY. MAY 31 1887. MEMORIAL DAY IN LINCOLY. € A Magnificont Procession Pays Honor to the LYy Soldier De THE COMING GREAT CLAM BAKE, A Feast of Good Things Ordercd for the Gathering on Shogo Island— Police Court News—Lincoln Happenings, [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU, ] Decoration Day was grandly observed i Lincoln. The two posts of the . A R. in this city left nothing undone in p line of preparation and the smoothness of all proceedings of the day attested eir thoroughness. The fact that United tes Senator Manderson was to be the orator of the day attructed large numb %0 the city from outlying towns and the adj nt country, so that before noon the city streets teemed with floating hu- manity. Inthe morning hours of the day the posts and committees visited the cemetery and decorated the graves of the dead soldiers, and the afternoon was given to the parade and the excreises upon the campus grounds at the ceme- tery. Scldom if ever has so fine a pro- cession moved through the thorough- fares of the city and thestreets for blocks were packed with spectators. The Uni- versity cadet’s band, probably one of the largest and best drilled bands in the ¥ state, headed the marching columns, fol- ' - ~=Bters, a barre [} lowed by the cadets in full uniform, numbering over 100, Company D, of the WNebraska National guards followed in line and fully 400 G.

In the center of the long marching hine the second band held their plice, followed immediately in the rear by three uniformed divisions of the Knights of Pythias. These three divis- ions-Lincoln, Apollo and A, D. Mar- shall---are the pride of the capital city in all public demonstrations, and “the knights never presented a better appear- ance. One hundred and fifty men in full uniform comprised the thrée divisions. The tive department, with engines and hose carts decorated, formed one of the attractive features in the parade, and a large number of citizens In car- ringes formed the rear guard in the marching column, The line of march was along the principal business streets, and 1t continued withont interruption until on the north side of the govern- ment square, when a fire alarm = caused the hose carts to leave the line like a ohot and make for the scene of the flames. The procession, after the mo- amentary interruption, continued to the university campus, where the exercises were held. After the parade the high wind rendered it impossible to hold the exer- clses intheopen air, as was contemplated, and the opera house was at once secured. It did not take ten minutes from the opening of the doors to pack the house to fts greatest capacity, and all were most attentive ot listeners, 1cellor Manatt presided, the Cadet band fur- aished mus nd Mrs, .

The s best replete with eloquence and the memorics of the days when the ‘battles and the dead were daily realities and not memories. At the close of the exercises at the opera house the old sol- diers held an informal reunion with the senator, and the public cxpression on 4very hand was that never befote had decoration day been more fittingly cele- drated in Lincoln. The fire that called the department “from the line of march was in the south- srn limits of the city, beyond the service of the water mains. A new residence, the property of Mr. Penn, was burned to the ground and the entire contents that, owing to the house being new, had been moved there only a few days. ‘I'he loss of the house was some $1,500 and the loss of furniture greater than that amount, with only a very light insurance on the 1atter. THE CLAM BAKERS' MEETING. The Nebraska clam bakers asso will hold its sixth annual meeting at Shogo Island, Milford, on Saturday, June 4.

Floyd repaired to the cemetery, where (he! decorated the graves of Ex-Chief T, P. Quick and three others who were former mewbers of the Lincoln tire department. There is no better place than right here to mention that the present wembers of the department, under the excellent management of Chief Newbury, are al- ways ready for patriotic action on ocea- sious of this character. POLICE COURT. Twenty-four cases were up in pulice court yosterday, the Iargest Monday morning’'s business that has been re- corded in some tim The {unlge had little trouble, however, in quickly clean- ing the docket. Six of the number were tramps and they were given a fine of $25 and costs each, and a seventh vag was discharged.

A i CHINA'S ROYAL HAREM. his family inday en route Shame Crowned With Distinction and Vice a Road to Honor. The pretty danghters of all Manchu familics in high rank have been in a flur ried state of mind for seve days pust, In the first place none of th ughters of these families are permitted to marry for at least a year before a wife is chosen for the emperor of China. During the spring months of last year Manchu papas of in portance having daughters between th ages of twelve and eighteen were re- quired to take them to Pekin, where the passed under the eyes of the dignita whose duty it was t cet an cpress for the young sov gn. It is necessary that candidates for this distir place in the great palace be M order to preserve al purity of the imperial line, China’s ruling family, for than two centuries, have not been but Manchurians. They are mterlopers at Pekin, but they are well settled there, and have moved into the imperial palace to stay. Many of these interesting dumsels had to make a long and arduous journey in order to pass under the critieal guze of the officials. They spent many hot days on dusty roads and stretched their weary limbs at night on the couches of the dismal way- side inns, and after all they had only one chance in hundreds of becoming an em vress, There was this consolation, hos e that if they missed the capital prize they might be chosen to fill some less dazzling \nl:u-e at court, and at any rate they could go home perhaps wiser girls and get married as soon as the ne- arrangements could be mad No reporters were present to describo the bappy event last summer that fol- lowed the choosing of a bride. It isa very solemn thing to gaze upon the emperor even months betore he assumes the reins of government, and 8o nobody outside of a limited oflicial circle saw the cercmony that made a very beautiful 'llr], named Tao-Tai, the empress of hina. Less than three momths ago this seven- teen year old emperor formally assumed the reigns of government. Before and since that event, according to all reports, all the eligible Manchu maidens have been in a flutter over the choosing of the female members of the court. The emperor is, by law, entitled to seven concubines, and he may fill his harem with any number of “illegal” concubines. No degradation attaches to this relation m_ the imperial palace. Indeed, itis a place to which any Manchu lady of the requisite rank is proud to aspire. If an inmate of the harem she may be- come the mother of an emperor, as the throne doesn't descend to any particular son of the ruler, but 1t is his™ custom to name as his successor any male member of his family of a younger generation than himself whom he wishes to leave as s heir. There are other possible results of life in the imperisl harem thst induce ambitious young women to regard ad- mittance to its exclusive circles as highly desirable. When any of the illegal con- cubines give birth toa son her status is legitimatized and she becomes a “princess of the blood” and a sharer thereafter in the fortunes of her boy,who, if he does not become an cmperor, has exceptional opportunities for a brillinnt earecr. . All the young ladies who do not present. the emperor with a son or danghter by the time they are twenty-fiva years old are returned to the homes of their parents. No stain attaches to their characters. In fuct they are regarded as persons of distinction and they are eagerly sought in marriage by gentlemen of their own rank. 5| course, they were all beautiful women, for no others are admitted to the empe- ror's seraglio. Every three years tho harem is in this sense weeded out, and then opportunity is affored for other tender maidens in their teens to undergo the ordeal of the competitive examina- tion which appears to be as prominent & foature of the love affairs of his majesty a8 of the Chinese civil service. Indeed, the manner of filling and managing the imperial harem has changed very little aince tho time over (00 years ago, when Marco Polo wrote his graphic description of the domestic life of Kublai Khau, the great mogul emperor, who magniticently adorned the very grounds in Pekin whero the present cmperor resides, Polo's fig- ures were rather tall, but the number of court attaches probably exceeded that of to-day, though Kwanh Su has an o of 5000 cunuchs now within his walls. Marco Polo wrote that Kublai had four legitimate consorts and emupress had not less than 10,000 persons attached to her court “very year 100 of the most beautiful maidens who could be found were brought from far and near to the palace and & committee of elderly ladies passed judgment upon them. Those who were of approved beauty, good and sound in all respects, were ap: pointed to wait upon the emperor by sixes, each squad of ities serving three ds when it was relieved by an- other detachment. ——— Mrs, Brunner cclebrated her 100th birthday at Derry, Pa., last week.

KEELY'S EXPERIMENTS. The Astonishes Few Visitors. Inventor [ | AM MASTER OF THE SITUATION He Declares That There are No Fure ther Obstacles to Overcome— Preparing For a Long Run, Philadelphia Record: “I am master o the situation. There are no further ob- stacles to be overcome,” Iuventor Jolin W. Keely proudly told a small party of astonished spectators who yesterday morning witnessed an exhibition of re- sults accomplished by what he calls his etheric force. Those who congratulated him upon this consummation, so de- voutly wished for by the stockholders, were Drs. George Strawbridge and D. F. Samu R. Lanville, the well d electrician; Charles ly's private counsel, newspaper men. bition, which was pronounced the most successful ever given by the in- ventor, was held mostly in the second story of the workshop at No. 1422 North ‘Twenticth street, now transformed from its former dingy cstate into a most com- forts nd uttractive series of small rooms he peculiar interest attaching to it wus that i all the tests except that of tiring off the cannon, the mysterious power transmitted from the libera- tor and receiver to the scene af 1ts mani- festation through a wire of silver and rl: inum, instead of through a ow tube, as heretofore, 1 comphshment ot this feat friends of the inventor consider the most conclusive answer to the oft-repeated charge that compressed air is the motive power used by the inventor. Mr, Kecly used a liberator wore indescribable, though smaller, than_any that haye pre- ceded it, and made of by Idering sets of reasonators arranged in octaves. Essen- tial portions of it appeared to be a bel- lows worked by foot, and a machine made to slve by air forced from the bellows, which the inventor called a Ysiren,” After the liberator had been attuned and all the parts brought into a sympa- thetic yibration the familiar tost was per- formed of raising the long arm of a lever weighted with a 550 pound weight, making the pressure exerted equal to about 25,000 pounds to the square inch, Mr. Keely said that if he wished he could generate'in two seconds a pressure of 150,000 pounds to the square inch. The little cannon which s for years kept up a remitting bombardment of an iron target in the vear of the workshop vas next brought into requisition. [t has been gilded simee former exhibitions, to be in keeping with its improved sur- roundings, and at _first appeared some- what rusty from disuse. It was quickly brought into shape, however, and sent three bullets with all its old-time energy against the target, tlattening them out like pancakes. When asked why there was after a powerful d ze, the cannon standing absolutely miotionless, Mr, that the positive and negative vibrations neutrahzed each other and kept the piece stationar: He could fire atwenty-ton gun, he said, without recoil. A FINDING SYMPATAETIC CHORDS, In the experiments which followed the mventor declared his purpose to be to 1ind the individual sympathetie chord of ral of those present. This he ac- i I the liberator, to which attached a silver and platinum wire enndgrin a stout picee of steel held by the verson undergoing examination. MF, Linville's chord wus declared to be A natural m the third octave, 120-1000 negative below. Nobody under- stood what this mcant,” but Mr. Keely wrote it down on a picce of paper, and then ascertained the chords of D uwl e, Mr. Collier and Mr. Harding, of the New York Herald. The two former gentlemen were tound to be A natural and B flat respectively in the fifth octave, while Mr. Collier ed to hear that he was G sharp in th octave. wus all very mysterious, but paled Tectual fires beforg the exveriments which followed, and which were quite in- comprehensible and equally indescrib- able.

Running nearly up to it was an iron rod connected by wire with a piece of steel, which the gentlemen held in their hands. Going into an adjoining room Mr. Keely set the liberator in activity, played softly upon a harmonica, and the globe began to revolve, ‘“Home, Sweet Home,” with variations, seemed to have a particu- larly exhilarating and enlivening effect upon the little sphere, which fairly buzzed as the inventor drew his lips across the instrument and blew out the pleasing melody. This experiment was repeated suceess- !nl‘l‘y with an engine twenty-seven inches in diameter, and then with both the en- gine and Bp‘lel‘u imultaneously. As the volume of sound from the harmonica in- creased or decreased, the two would re- volve together, or one would stop and let the other continue its merry journey. With this curious performance the ex bition cldsed. Mr. Keely roccived congratulations upon 1ts suc modestly, and said that in afew days he would startup his engine for a ten days' run without intermission. It has already run for thirty-eight hour smoothly and at uniform speed.
