Parior Sconoes In Bome of Omaha's I Blegant Residencos. — A WEEK WITHOUT A DANCE, Comings and Golngs of Local Sooial Lights—Card Parties and Musical Coteries—The Usual Sur- prises—Gossip. n Evening With the Germens, 'The usual literary exercises of the pupils ®f the Sacred Heart academy at Park place derived especial significance, thic week, from the presence of the Right Rev. Dr, Murray, bishop of Maitland, New South Wales, who has been for several days the guest of Right Rev. James O'Connor. On last Monday evening the young ladies tendered his lord- ship a reception and welcome, with which he was highly pleased. At the closo of the literary entortainmont, tha distinguished visitor congratulated the young ladies on the Attractiveness and interesting character of their programme. It wus, as & matter of fct, no easy ject to handle. No one of the great nations of civilized Europe is less studied, perhaps, than the checkered realm ruled over by the old Hohenstaufens, and the later Hapsburg dynasty, yet no country ‘whether in its historical and political, or in its social and cthnical features, presents such a diversified and foscinating fiela for the student of universal history. Of this sec. tion of the great Germanic family some of the essays very ably treated, Charlemagne, a8 the founder of the real greatness of Ger- “many, was made the subject of a corprehen- sible skoetch. The other papers showed where orient and occident meet, how Siav and Magyar, Teuton and Czech rubbed against each other in this vast conglomerate of mi- rated nations, The essay bearing on the hirty years’ war gave a condensed history of that event with its fateful consequences in terms so clear and just that it could not be described by a more faithful pen. There seem to be a great deal of earnest, careful study of music at Park place which must lead rapidly to success. The overture to Auber's “Masked Ball” was quite the rsonification of poetical motions, and arpist and pianist divided the honors be- tween them. The “Good Night to AlL" by the junior choir was charmingly suug by fresh young voices. ‘I'he other vocal pieces Were simple melodies, but most enjoyable, The following is the programme The Frst Germans, .

A. recep- tions was given Tuesday evening at the as- ociation rooms. The reception was ten- dered to the clerks and bookkeepers of the ‘wholesale houses and manufacturing insti- tutions of the city. Fully 1,000 invitations sent out to the employes of the various partments of the wholesale and jobbing B trude. But as the Lenten scason still holds . on and causes a lull 1n all social events, only \ about four hundred people were at the recep- \tion. They were richly rewarded in enjoy- ment for being present. The visitors began to arrive at the hall fl:orb after 7 o'clock and were received by @ reception committee, of which J. B.Cald- (¥l is chairman. He was assisted by sev- Aenteen other members of the committee. In conjunction with the committee, forty ladies “from the vario churches of the city also assisted in receiving the guests, Secretary Jenner was also an_important adjunct in the . entertainment of the visitors. The general “reception in the rurlorn, library, and recep- tion rooms continued for about an hour, after witich the members of the gymnasium class gave an exhibition drill in the athletic department of the building. (n_the concert hall the special exercises were conducted by T, H. Taylor, presid of the association. The features of this branch of the entertainment were interesting and pleasing to the auditors. ‘The first thing on the programme was a vocal solo by Mr. Wrightson. He was hearti- l& applauded on his singing. After this . E. Bender recited “Songs of Yesterday’ in such a pleasing manner that he was re- called. Prof. Partman and his wife enter- tained the audience with solos, duets and zither playing in a commendable manner and elicited wuch approbation. Prof. O. G. Robinow did himself considerable credit on hio recitation of a portion of the dramatic jalogue, “*Leah, the Forsaken." During the special entertai Chapman, of D, M. Steele & Co., read an in- terestin, and instructive paper to young men in the umrln'y of business firms. At the conclusion of these exercises re- freshments were served in the lecture hall. ‘The employes of the wholesale houses wore, to use thelr expressions, royally en- tertalned, . ment J.

Patterson and William Langley, both muscular, well- built, middle-weight scions of the law, became involved in a dispute as to their relative fighting prowess. The two ex- changed words and taunts for some time, and then each bared a muscular arm and called on the justice to decide the dispute, Justice Wixon, who is a lover of the manly art, decided that the only way in which the dispute could be decided was by an old-fashioned bout with bare knuckles,and he declared his willingness to adjourn the case for a time to allow the attorneys to settle thoir dispute. The two accepted the Justice’s offer and court and spectators adjourned toa large hall in the center of the town, Patterson shd Langloy #tripped to their undershirts and with the justice as referee squared off at each other in regular pugilistio style, Sud- denly Patterson’s right shot out and a moment later Langloy was sprawling on the floor. This unnerved the doughty lawyer, and, picking up his things, he left the hall, Langley arose a moment later, but was not bent on fighting, and the buttle was declared a draw, ECHOES FROM THE'ANTE ROOM Noews and Gossip, of the Week Among the Fraternitios.

Ash Wednesday no longer interferes witn theatrical performances in London. Where- 8s all tho theaters used to close on that day, only two paid any attention to it, aud thesc merely announced that they would keep open. It is announced that Modjeska has signed the contract for her appearance with Edwin Booth next season. 'That matter, therefore, is happily settled. Now let her try to bring about a production of “Anthony ‘and Cleo- patra.” A ‘‘Theater of Actuality” is to be estab- lished in London after the model of the French Theater Libre.

Just as before a cock crows he fiuds it necessary to streteh out his neck to the utmost, so tho donkay foels himself compelled to begin his performance by holaing his nose inthe air and his tail parallel with his spine. When, therefore, a Turk wishes to silence his donkey he ties a tolerably heavy stoue to the end of the animal’s tail and departs with an easy mind, When the donkey feels inclined to bray and begins the ususl prelimi- naries he finds himsell debarred from placing his tail at the requisite sugle, and in consequence is unable to do jus- tice to the bravura with which he was proposing o favor the world, ADDITIONAL SPORTING GOSSIP Another Batoh of Omaha's Hand- some Flyers, MISCELLANEOUS NEWS ITEMS, Our Knowledge Box—-The Bull Ter- rier, Dandy~The Hardin Oyole Tournament and Gen- eral Information, Additlonal Looal Flyers.

ANew Puzzle Which Has Captured the Entire Country. Four little pigs are sporting in the clover. It will never do. They must be driven into the pen. That is all. In the meantime society isdistraught. The Chicago Tribune tnus describes the effect in that city of the now fa- mous **Pig in Clover” puzzle: Dinners grow cold. Young ladies ars nos dressed for the theaters. Gentlemen appear with glazed eyes and, as likely as not, without a tie. Business is par- alized. Commercial magnates are locked in their private offices. Clerks doze over their desks after sleepless nights. Speculation on the board is left to take care of itself. For everybody has at once undertas ken to drive those mischievous little pigs from the clover into the pen. The box contains three circular drive- ways, with the pen in the center. The openings in the driveways and pen are arranged one opposite the other. These four marbles must be placed in the outer driveway, and the box then manipulated so that the marbles will enter the second driveway, from that pass intothe third, and finally roll into the pen. **‘Leave it todrovers and the man with curved limbs in the lane,” despairingly cried a haggerd-faced man as he scat- tered the marbles over the Union League club library,stamped his patent- leather shoe on the round pastboard box, and staggered toward the cafe. “Deviled crabs, pate de fois gras Marischino—I am famished.” But society refuses to leave 1t alone.
