MAHA SOCIAL RAPPENINGS. Numerous Gatherings of Gay Belles and Gallant Beaux. OPENING OF TENNIS SEASON, Orystal Wedding Reception—Oreigh- ton Guards—Bishop Worthing- ton's Reception—Batterfly Ball — Koster's Party— Other Dances —Notes, Omaha Lawn Tennis Olub, This organization opened the season on ‘Wednesday last with its first ladies’ day this year. Although the weather was somewhat unpropitious there were several good sets played. Among the ladies who attended the opening day there were several good players, The club, was organized last year witha membership limited to fifteen, the inaugu- rators being Messars, Eustis, Mylius, Jaaffe, Fiske, Guftitts, How and a few others. The club courts are at the corner of Eighteenth dnd Chicaga streets, and are beautifully lo- cated, the lot being surrounded with a growth of fine cottonwood trees, which fur- nish ample shade. In the evenings especi- ally, this is a beautiful spot, and, situated as it is on the edge of the business portion of the city and within the confines of its most desirable residence portion, is admirably adapted, so far as convenience and facility g0. There are two double courts and one single, which gives plenty of chance for play, as the club membership is this year limited to twenty-four. The membership list is almost full, and in fact next week will probabl, fill the list and furnish several candidates fer vacancies which may occur as the season advances. Following are the names of most of the members: Kustis, .Dean Gardner, Wells, Roberts, J. row, J. R. Grifiitts, C. How, W. 1. J. Grifitts, Doane, Griffith, Sanborn, Mylius, Purdon, Voss, Weld, McCann, Hill, Among the reforms which the club has fected this year is the system of inviting 1 dies to the grounds. r many reasons this ‘was impracticable t vear, but now the b{-lnwu of the club provide that Wednesday of each week shall be set apart for ladies’ day, and that on that day every member of the club can personally invite any ladies of his acquaintance to the grounds, This will vrobably stimulate a desire to play tennis among the young ladies of Omaha. But there are probably many ladies who would prefer watching the game to playing it, and the club has furnished ample accommoda- tion for this, too. Everything promises a_successful season for this club, which is the leading club of Omaha, and numbers among its members the champions of the city. It is said that the success of the club iu the past was to a great extent due to the energetic efforts of Mr. Kustis, who was last year's president and is & member of this year's executive committee, a8 well as one of the best players in the club, It is to be regretted that the prominent moneyed men of Omaha fail to help the club on financially. In the several orgaizations of the kind in other cities, with which the writer has been personally acquainted, there has al- ways been a ‘“fine” membership, of men who may not care to play themselves, but who are anxious to aid the club’s finances by swelling its subscription list.

The Koster Party. A very pleasant party was given by George J. Kosters at his residence, No. 1222 South Twenty-ninth street, on Friday evening. A large number of his friends were present and enjoyed the occasion heartily, The veranda was enclosed with canvas and handsomely illuminated by Japanese lanterns, furnishing an excellent space for dancing, which was taken advantage of at different times in_the evening by the lovers of the art, who waltzed t0 excellent music furnished by some of the musicians present. The early part of the evening was spent in games to swit_the vari- ous tastes until the party was invited to the pleasing repast tendered by the host, which was heartily enjoyed by the merry-makers. After supper the time was given to dancing and music, instrumental and vocal. Some very fine selections were furnished by the Harmony Glec club, composed of Messrs. Paul, Scanncll, Lenahan and Mullen, and lhu?’ were ably assisted by a chorus of the entire party. Shortly after midnight “Home. Sweet Home” was rendered and the party took leave. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Kosters and family—George and the Misses Mollie, Lizzie and Kittie Kosters, and Mr, and Mrs. ). A.

Among the most pleasant affairs of tho weck was the entertainment given by the Virginius lodge of the Knights of Pythias at Goodrich’s hall on Saunders street, on Wednesday evening. The affair consisted of a concert, dance aud strawberry supper, and proved to be a great social success. In the upper hall was given the concert at which wis presentod the following programme : rtur Iryine's orchestra Recitation—*‘Damon and Pythias, Soprano Solo—* "Twas No Vison,".. Mus, B.

Eight hundred tickets had been sold and the ball room was full to overflowing. The hall was profusely decor- ated with bunting, while in the center were suspended two silken banners, between them aredand green lantern. Colored lanterns were also hung on the walls at intervals, Over the entrance to the ball room was a huge Lorseshoe covered with red, white and blue. On either side was a red and freen light.

Tuesday evening a large number were pres- ent, and great interest was shown in the drill and much effective work was accom- plished. Captain Ray, U. S. A., is much in- terested in the company and assisted in in- structing them in and putting them through new movements., The boys were a little tired when Sergeant Downey dismissed them but as enthusiastic as ever. Thursduy iast was chosen for the outdoor drill, and al- though the weather was very bad thirty-five reported for duty at the armory and these were reinforced later in the day. A short time was spent in manoeuving in the armory and then the company took the cars for the fair grounds. At intervals when it was not raining the men went through the exercises and drill on the grounds, the balance of the time being spent in athlétic games in the art hall, such as jumping, running, penny-ante and other muscle-raising sports, At noon a hearty lunch was served to the hungry sol- diers who did it justics When the time for breaking up and returning home came the boys unanimously declared they had enjoyed their tirst day’s service despite the hardships they bad undergone, and many are now long- ing to again visit the battlefield.

As a fitting close to the Episcopalian coun- cil Bishop Worthington threw open the doors of his palatial home on South Tenth street o Thursday evening and gave a most delightful reception.

All the visiting delegates were present, and a large number of the laity of the Episcopalian churches here. The reception hours were from 8 p. m. to 11 p. m., andthe time passed away only too auickly.

SOME WANTED BY SPECULATORS Interest Rates Easier—The New York Stock Market Rules Dull—Ex- traordinary Activity on the Ohicago Board. Curcaco, May 10.—[Special Telegram to Tre Bee.]—In local monetary affairs thera have been no very important ehanges to note since the last weokly review. There is no pressing demand for money from any quare ter, yet the aggregate iaquiry for discounts a! the leading banking institutions is quite 1ib) eral, coming from miscellancous sources. Bankers are well supplied with loanable funds and borrowers as a rule meet with very little dificulty in securing accommodae tions when able to present satisfactory name: or collaterals. The shipment of currency J the interior has improved slightly, indicating an increased movement of farm products, yet the amount forwarded is lighter than us at this season of the year. The backwards ness of the sceding season and the almost im. passable condition of interior roads has inj terfered with business in farming districte; Increased speculation in grain has enlarged the demand for money in that quarter, but it is largely in the way of the placing of margins, Shippers of grain and provisions were mod« erateborrowers on short time’paper. Lume bermen presented some paper for discount but their wants were easily supplied. Mer chants in the wholesale trade were moderate borowers, partially owing to slow collections in the interior. Interest rates were comparf atively easy and while there was no estali- lished reduction, borrowers obtained favors more readily at former figures. Round sums were quotable at 6 per cent on good paper and in some instances 51§ per cent was ac- cepted. Ordinary paper from outside parties is accepted at 6@s per cent, according to thd mpnl";ug of the borrower and the amount re- quired. { In eastern financial circles money is com- paratively easy. Purchases of bonds by the government increase the supply of mone; consequently borrowers are readily accom: modated at 2@2!¢ per cent on call or 4@ per cent on prime mercantile papers. A vices from abroad indicate that the leadin banks have increased their cash means an the money market isesteady at prominent monetary centers, Borrowers are moderate in their demand during the week and offers ings were fair. The demand from ovtside sources was somewhat larger than usual. Sales were made at 40@60c_premium per £1,000, and closed steady at rx(’g G0c. Foreign exchange was in fair deman throughout the week, but the offering were light. The market was firm and ships per’s 60 day’s documentary bills on Loudol changed hands at $4.843{(@4.85)¢ and clos steady at $4.85@4.8514. i The New York stock market was on{ moderately active and the feeling was dulli Prices for all leading properties ruled lower. The earnings of all leading railroads exs hibited a slight increase over the returns fox the corresponding period in 1887, many of tha larger lines showing a decrease, especially in the west and southwest. Forelgn operators were inclined to the selling side of the mar« ket, and this tended to weaken the situationd Some speculators in stocks, more particus larly m the west, were disposed to_view tha reports of crop damage and the backwards ness of the seeding season as detrimental to railroad interests, and indicating less busie ness throughout the agricultural districts, consequently they anticipated smaller di dends and lower prices for stocks, and were mclined to the “snort” side of the market. Wall street operators were not disposed ta, do much business, and the bulk of their trading was chiefly in the way of moderate amounts at slight change in prices, The trading was mainly in_specialties. The ag< gregate sales on the New York stock exs change for the week were 1,173,000 shares, While there probably have been many weeks in the history of the Chicago grain trade which have been credited with a larger’ speculative trade, there probably have nof been many in which more interest an anxiety prevailed than during the one just’ closed. Local operators have been close ob« servers of the general surroundings of trade, and speculators in all the leading grain mars kets of this country and Europe have en- gaged in transactions to a considerable ex- tent. It is claimed that the speculative ele- ment in the farming districts have beer moderate in their transactions and a great bulk of the business was credited to profes? sional traders—parties who are ever on the alert to take advantage of the situation of affairs and who trade in unusually larga quantities, The strength which was mani- {ested to some extent during the previous week was more fully developed and a higher range of prices reached. The reported dam- age to growing o the backwardness of the season and the retarding of planting, weti and cold weather in many sections of tha west, and a large decrease in the supplies of wheatand corn, have all combined to enlarga speculative trading and encourage operators on the*‘long’ side of the market. Considerable realizing no doubt occurred, and the weelk probably ciases with smaller holdings in the aggregato by large operators than two or three days ago, though they are still quite large, Outside’ prices were not fully sus- tained, however, though the closing figure show some improvement on the closing fig ures of one week ago. The movement of Krain to western markets has been improved somewhat, as shippers have exerted them= selves to forward their supplies to take ad- vantage of prices now current. Shipments from westerr: markets have been free, especs ially by the lake route. Arrivals of grain at seaboard have been fair and the distribution through the interior towns of New England and middle states and Canada quite liberal. The export movement was not very large and chiefly of property purchased some time ago at lower priccs than are now current, Advices from abroad, while show- ing rather more strength in a general way, indicate that prices have not responded in proportion to the appreciation in western markets, KExport orders are rather light for both grain and provisions, corn and flonr being the only articles which attracted any attention. Provisions have exhibited a little more strength in sympathy with grain, but the undertone to the market during the middle of the week indicated an easicr feel- ing and prices were reduced materially, At the extreme close, h er, the market showed considerablo strength and the highest prices of the week were realized, Arrivals of live stock were moderately free at all western markets. The packing ‘of the west is lllmgruusiug favorably at about last year's rate, e Mysterious Disappearance, Crere, May 18.—[Special to Tug Bee,]— One of those mystericus cases.of the disap- pearance of persons that fill the long roll of unsolved problems has just closed in the city, About March 28, 1857, one John Hope, of this city, a man well known by almost all persons. here had occasion to make a trip to England, Before starting he carefully urranged bis property here and left it in the hands of & faithful friend. o drew from the bank be- tween §600 and $700 to pay his expenses, and started off with a happy heart to visit the scenes of his early days; he bid good-bye to those for whom hé cntertained an affection and started off on Lis long journey. Ths seen of him 1was on his way to the railroa depot. From that time till this no trace of him has been found. Not thoe least trace of his whereabouts can be found. All of the pringj- ple cities have been in cominunication with the author:tios here 'and still no sigm. The police of the different cities in the ‘cast have searched without result, Mr, C. K. Hiffin, one of Pinkerton's New York de- tectives, was employed, and for a week OF more he has been devoting his time and en- ergies to ferreting out the mystery, but e last has given up the case, stating tha Mayor 0. H. Mitler bad done everything iy the world that could be done to bring th mystery to light.
