SOCIAL GREETINGS TO MAY, The Month of Flowers Greeted Song and Dance. OPENING OF THE UNION CLUB. Bwedish May Festival-Home Circle Club—Calico Ball-Barbers' May Pole—~Harmony Club -Other Social Events, Opening of Union Club Rooms. A most elegant, quiet and unostentatious affair was the opening of the beautiful quar- ters of the Union club on Monday evening The organization, as is well known, com- prises the leading business men of the city and in the establishment of their princely quarters in Weir block they had not only in mind their own comfort and pleasure, but, first of all, the necessity of just such a place for the entertainment of visiting merchants prospecting for a location. No wiser ex- penditure ©f money could be made for the benefit of Omaha. The stranger given the freedom of these beautiful rooms and meet- ing socially the elegant gentlemen who make this their favorite haunt 18 bound to take away with- him the most favorable im- pressions of the business men of the Gate city. It is a most needed and valuable com- lement to the board of trade. Real acts the club was _organized weeks since, and on March 6 the present suite or rooms were chosen as their head- quarters, The apartments have been en- tirety remodeled, and the most artistic dec- orators in the country employed to put on the finishing touches, I'he results are most en- chanting. On entering the apartments the visitor 18 impressed with the exquisite har- mony of colors in the decorating and furnish- ings. There is everywhere a richness of tint, but nothing garish. Some of the rarest exoties are distribnted in various parts of the rooms and add greatly to their beauty. The chandaliers are so arranged that cither gas or incandescent electric lights can be used at will. The dining room is the first in_the suite and is finished in antique oak. The counter and sideboards were made especially for the club, and are fine pieces of workmanship. Terra cotta and blue are the predominating colors in the decoration of this room. The next apartment in_course is the card room which is finished in mahogany. Blue and olive tints are the predominating colors and are brought out withgold. To the right of this card room is a charming reception room, furnished most_clegantly with goods of the best silk and woo! imported tapestries, The redominating color in this foom is blue, and s finished in ecru and gilt, greatly relicving the bluish effect, The fourth is the reading room, the color of which is mainly a ight terra cotta. The ceiling has two panels of a light color studded with golden stars. The lounges and chairs are upholstered in light and dark brown Russia leather, The fire place is of mahog- any. he fifth room s the billiard hall and in colors and use is tho great favorite. Blue in allits different shades is_the solitary color used in decorating, and the effect is most striking and beautiful. The effect is re- lieved by the green cloth and amaranth colored wood of “the billiard tables. ‘The carpet is of the high art design. The tap- estries and widow hangings throughout the different apartments are renuissance and harmonize in color with the rooms which they adorn. The carpets are Wilton throughout. The culinary department is a valuable and necessary adjunct to the other rooms, and no expense_las been spared to make it in every way first-class. The ban- uet served Friday evening gives an idea of the skill of the cooks. In the opening evening there was no for- mal demonstrtion of any kind; the members quictly dropped in, chatted, played cards or billiards, or sat down to lunch with a bottle of wine. The rooms are_exclusively gentle- man’s apartments, and the foot of no female has yet trod on their beautiful carpets, Among the many gentlemen present_were Governor Warren, of Wyoming; D. C. Adums, Salt Lake; General Manager Fiteh and General Superintendent Hawley, of the Northwestern railroad; J. H. Pratt, of Wy- oming; Dr. George L.

A. Jacobson, revived the old world festivities of that day on last Tuesday evening. The cele- bration was held at Metz's hall and garden, and was largely attended both by Swedish people and Americans, The festival was divided into three parts, a concert, supper and ball. 'The i part of the programme oj with a fine musical selection by Prof. Stein- hauser's orchestra, after which Mr. F. B. Lyman spoke glowingly on the subject **Cal- ifornia my Stato since '49.” Mr . Jacob- son next rendered a bass solo in his deep, rich tones that always bring out merited ap- plause. Mr. Frank Walter disclaimed the assertion that the Scandinavians have a ten- dency toward Mormonism. The Liederkranz singiug society then rendered one of their cholce songs which was loudly applauded, after which Carl Bohmansson delivered the oration of the occasi It was in the Swed- ish tongue and enigmatical to the American rtion of the audience, but judging from v, Bohmansson's carncstnoss and forciblo delivery and the manner in which his ro- marks were received by his audience, it was & very able effort. Miss Bertha Steinhauser, the charming soprano singer,uext favored the audience with a staccato solo excel- lently rendered. Another bass solo was given by Mr. Jucobson and Prof. A, Walters followed with a brilliant piano se- lection, A song by the Liederkrauz singing society ended the programme, By this time it was 11 o'clock, and a long pro- of twenty-four ‘dances was then ed and did not end until 2:30 a. m., the supper coming in at the end of the twelfth dance, The success of the May festival has been a source of great satisfaction to the wunugement, Home Circhs May Party.

Barbers' May Pole Dance. The barbers did themselves proud in the splendid May party given at Cunningham’s hall on Tuesday evening.

Good music, & smooth floor and a hall thronged with fine looking young men and women were the combinations present that always insure a delightful time. The great feature of the occasion was the competition for May queen and the May pole dance. The best lady waltzer was to wear the floral cro uwnd eight graceful lady dancers, all with kood partners, entered into the contest. The three judges’ were Peter Elsasser, Hugo Melchior and Homer Kirk, aud their first ballot . resulted in one vote each for a different lady. As they could not agrec upon u decision, these three ladies again competed, the other five this time withdrawing. The three contest- ants and their partners were Miss Lena Baeurvall ana Mr. MceLarnan, Miss Hattie Stark and Mr. 1, Miss Miunie' Van Horn and Mr. Longfellow. 'The second con- test resulted in a unanimous vote for Miss Baeurvall and the yreath was placed upon her brow. This was followed by the Maypole dance. T ents about the pole were performed fuultlessly and the rib- bons were wound and unwound without an error. 'The sight was a very pretty one. The ribbons used were red, white and blue and when wound about the pole presented a perfect barber's sign, wonderfully appro- priate to the occasion Harmony b May Party.

Grand Chancellor Colton of the grand lodge Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania,on Mon- day last granted to Paladin Lodge No. 228, 8 dispensation to set aside, for a period of six months, the requirements of the by-laws re- lative to the fees for conferring the several ranks of the order, The following formi of request was deemed by the grand chancellor to be in conformity with section 2, article 8, of the constitution of the grand lodge, which directs that he shall grant dispensations to set tempor- arily aside any requirement of the by-laws when so requested in the manner prescribed ; We hereby certify that the necessit, lodge, No. K of Pythias, og’ Penn- sylvan ircs dispensation to set aside temperorarily the requirements of the by- laws relative to the fees for conferring the several ranks of the order, and that a request therefore has been made by atwo-thirds vote of the members voting This must be signed by the chancellor com- mander, attested by the keeper of records and seal, with the “seal of the lodge, and ad4 dressed to John H, Colton. grand chancellor, I'he importance of such a form of applicaton arises from the fact that it is exacted by the canstitution of the grand lodge, which defines the dispensatory powers of the grand chane cellor, and directs that he shall grant dis- pensations to subordinate lodges to ‘“set aside temporarily any requirement of the by- laws where the necessity of the lodge as rep- resented by an official statement therefrom justifies it, the request therefor having been made by a two-thirds vote of the members votng. The grand chancellor has said that lodges which prefer to limit their applications to dispensations to confer the three ranks for not less than £6 will continue to receive such dispensations when the request 18 constitu- tionally made, not, however, under cover of the annulled’ dispensation’ of ex-Suprema Chancellor Davis, but because the greater in- cludes the less; and whore the request ig simply for dispensation absolutely to set thd requirements of the by-laws aside he must grant such dispensation when requested as the constitution nrm.w;xbcu.
