YEE DULL LENTEN SEASON, el But Few Soclal Bvents of Promi- nence During the Past Week. THE W MASQUERADE BALL, She Dedication Ball and Banquet of Goodrich Lodge 1. 0. O. F—A Happy Family Reunion—A No- table Wedding—Chit Chat. The past weok in society was an exceed ingly dull one. There were no private re- ceptions and but ‘two important parties. Many prominent social lights of Omaha are wisiting out of the city and those remaining seem to feel the restraining power of Lent. A record of the week's doings will be found Delows ‘Tar YoUR6 Mrx's Hennew association gave L] mask ball at Exposition hall last Mon- #lay evening. It was a social event of the rst itude and was attended by over two undred guests. The hall was decorated in ificent style. Tho costumes of the were especially handsome and created :almmem from the spectators which the gatleries. e music was furnished tbe Musical Union grehestra. Tne omAND BANQUET and ball of Goodrich No. 44, 1. 0. O. F'., was held Tuesda; in their new haii, corner of Saund- rs it on streets. It wasa splen- ‘;d succoss and was largely attended by iembers of the various Omaha lodges. The forepart of the evening was given to a musical tertainment in the handsomely furnished r:dge room on the third floor, where some excellent vocal and instrumental selections ere rendered, after which the gay "'"’"r ired to the large and commodious ball- m on the second floor where a programme sixteen numbers was danced to the music of the Musical Union orchestra. At 11 'clock an elegant supper was served in the ®anqueting rooms. e building itself is & splendid structure, very well arranged and ‘costing in_the neighborhood of £30,000. It ‘wes formally dedicated in the afternoon by the various {odknn in_the city and is a great eredit to the 1. 0. 0. l"'. of the state. e A NOTABLE WEDPDING occurred Saturday ening, February 11, at the residence of r. and Mrs. John F. C. Meinccke, parents f the bride, 300 Central avenue. Jersey City Teights, N. J. The contracting parties were Mr. Henry L. Boese, of Omahs, Ncb, und Miss Emma Meinecke. Mr. Charles Metz, of Omaha,was present and acted as one of the groomsmen, The company was very large and many valuable and useful gifts, includ. ing & beautiful upright piano, were presented to the bride. Many handsome presents were 8180 received from friends in Omaba. Enmeroul telegrams of congratulations from maha and cablegrams from Germany were recelved during the evening. After the wed- @ing reception the happy young couple started, amid & shower of rice and good wishes, upon an extended southern trip, ex- pecting to reach Omaha early in March, The prpis of the Academy of the Sacred Heart at Park place evidently believe that nothing is farther from the true spirit of lent than morosencss, 'Their February pro- gramme of literary and musical exercises shows that the founts of Inlgerlunn on that pleasant hill-top is far from being exhausted, and the “‘evening with the Italian artists” was & most enjoyable one. Without enter- ing upon the controversy about the right of art criticism, these young ladies struck a true note in showing that good pictures need neither explanation nor defense, and that to gx]oy a fine picture one need no more be able paint it than to enjoy a good dinner one must be able to cook it. The appended pro- gramme gives the title of the essays which indicate the character of the work. The music, vocal and instrumental, was in excel- lent taste: FPROGRANMME—THE ITALTAN SCHOOL OF PAINT- 1 Introductory...... . ....Miss Mullin erugino and Raphael.. .. ..

A Constitution Adopted and Tem- porary Officers Made Permanent. Thirty representative business men of Omaha met at the chamber of commerce last evening to perfect the organization of the Union club, Dr. Miller presided. Considera- bletime was spent in discussing the best methods for completing the organization of the association. Mr. C.‘J. Green strongly advocated a strictly legal method of proced- ure. He insisted on the re-adoption of the articles of incorporation and the publication of thirty days’ notice in the newspapers of the iucorporation of the club. This he thought necessary to make amends for the secming haste of the first meeting. This brought out considerable discussion as to whether such procedure was necessary. The threatened interminable debate was suddenly checked by Mr. Thomas Kilpatrick arising and suggesting that as the club was @ social one it might be well to commence by being pleasant and avoiding unnecessary dis- cussion. Mr. Frank Colpetzer then moved the Dundy is sojourning at Hot adoption of the articles of the incor- poration, bearing in mind_ that this action was a reconsideration of all previous action. This motion was car- ried and the articles wcre unanimously nd_f_nted. e temporary officers were re-elected for the permanent organization for the coming year. The constitution and by-laws were then adopted. A business committee was adopted consisting of Messrs. Frank Cny;e - aer, John A. McShane, Fred Gray, J.J. Brown, Joseph. Barker, C. V. Gal lnlgher, Euclid Martin, Herman Kontze, H.. T. Clarke, Thomas Kilpatrick, John 8. Coll J. B. Kitchen, Thomas Swobe, W. A. Pax- ton, C. B. Rustin and T. C. Bruner. The members of this committee are to have con- siderable latitude, but their main work is to look after visitors and see that any person contemplating moving or establishing enter- prises here receive a proper hearing. —— Licensed to Wed.

ATHRUSTAT GENERAL CARNAHAN John H. Colton Pays His Respects to the Head of the U. R. K. P.—Ma- sonic Items—Doings of the 0dd Fellows—A. O. U, W. Colton on Carnahan. Some time ago Major General James R. Carnahan of the uniform rank Knights of Pythias, wrote to a member of the order in the suspended jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, defining the relation the Sir Kuights of Pe sylvania were cntitlel to maintain in the “*present unpleasantness.” In this communi- cation General Carnahan said: “Oar obli- gation binds us to loyalty to the Supreme lodge; to it we owe our existence and not to any Grand lodge. * * * Maintain your £00d standing in the uniform rank by main- taining your good standing in your subordin- ate lodge and the Supreme lodge.” Later the general determined to pay a visit to Scranton, Pa. and the K.of R. &S. of Scranton lodge, 203, wrote to the grand chan- cellor, Jon H. Coiton, enquiring whether Knights belonging to jurisdictions outside of Pennsylvania have a right to bs admitted as visitors on the S. A. P. W. now curi Pennsylvania. It seems that ever i promulgation of General Carnahan’s opinion as to the duty of members of the uniform rank, the grand chancellor of the suspended jurisdiction has had @ stick in heat for the gallant head of Pythian Sir Knights. Here was an occasion touseit, and Mr. Colton appreciated the opportunity. Replying to the Scranton K. of l{. & S., Mr. Colton said: “They have not such right without our permission, nor can they honorably seek admission on a P. W., the legal use of which they deny. The major gencral is an adversary of the grand jurisdiction of Pennsylvania. He has issued orders, ns I am informed, insulting to our knighthood, by insinuations of infldelity to the grand lodse. * # % Qur order cannot be transformed by orders, mandates, incan- tations or charms, Our Padisha may be un egregious enchanter, but he cannot by the sprinkling of loyal water, or the mumbling of false ritualistic spells, make us quit our propershape and assume any vile, unknightly form his injurious fancy might disport itself by pullin% on us. Knights of Pfillll”, at gl events in Pennsylvania, where the order will survive any decadenco in other places, are knights errant and militant, whose mottoes are far_holier words than 'loyalty, aud to whom death is preferable to serfdom or de- grading discipline. T love the military; who does not?’ Yes, but what troops are we to have? Shall knights be converted into janizaries, menial troopers, or underling camp followers, minions of stilted power, or yuppets of the baton of some military war- tinet “To return to the discussion of the S. A. P, ‘W. It might well be that if the major gen- cral deemed the S. A. P, W. now current in Peunsylvania illegal he could not honorabi; use it, even to do us harm. But if, as is said, he is coming among us, he knows his own virtue best: Observe this: Nooneis en- titled to admission on the S. A. P. W. cur- rent unless he gives it as the logal 8. A. P, W. of the term. Under the present circum- stances a lodge has the right, at its discre- tion, to exclude any persomn from & hostile jurisdiction, “'If the major general comes here to advo- cate the dishonorable ideas he is )n'op.f‘lm b using the uniform rauk as far as it will sul mit as an nrglmuunn antagonistic to our mnd lod, e should be expelled from any room in which he might be found act- ing in that way. The dishonorable overtures and temnptations to which the uniform rank has been subjected have already . caused the indignant resignation of our sitting past grand cbancellor #8 au aid-de-camp of the major general’s staff, and no other true knight will submit to the baseness of being used as & wégpon l,glhlll his fricnds. The uniformed knights of Pennsylvavia arc men of nobler spirit.” Echoes. * Keystong Loves ‘No, 155, 1. 0. 0. docided t0 build ‘a lodge hall.

R Balloons of the Future. Hartford Times: Dr. Arthur De- bausset, a Frenchman by birth and l:‘ dent of the Transcontinental Aerial Navigation company, has contracted with the firm of Miller, Metcalf & Parkin, of Pittsburg, for the steel to be usad in the manufacture of mammoth air ships. Each of these ships wi 654 feet long, 144 feet in diameter, cone- shaped, of steel, and will cost #150,000 each. The frame work and minor parts of the bulloon will be made at Jones & Laughlin’s American Iron works. Dr. Debausset stated that instead of gas a partial vacuum would be employed, making the areal plane lighter than if hydrogen gas were used. The steel plates of the ships will be 1-44 of an inch thick, Sample steel plates have been tested and found to stand the great atmospheric E)rossurc. *The weight of the steel,” said Dr. Debausset, “will be eight and one-half pounds to the square yard. The total weight will be 260,000 pounds. This does not include the car and other apparatus. The weight of air within it would be 720,000 pounds, or { 460,000 pounds greater than the weight of the vessel. With only one-half the air exhausted from the chamber, the weight removed would be 860,000 pounds, or ltl,lmlpoundu in excess of the weight of the shell, giving, therefore,an ascen- sional force of fity tons. I intend to let this monster loose in the firmanent with o car attachment to it,and that car loaded with ssengers, mail and ex- press matter,” An Ohio girl, who tired of hearing the farmers in her section growl about wheat growing not paying, decided she’'d seo about it, She rented 5} acres of land, kept_strict account of every dollar expended in raising the crop, got an average yield of thirty-five bushels to tuc acre, and sold it for $142.50, The cast of produeuon was 898.12, including #31.50 for fertilizers, and. the gain on the investment was 44 per cent. .
