ROUND OF SOCIAL PLEASURES How the Omaha Biite Are Learning to Swim. TENNIS TOURNAMENT RACKET. The COool Evenings Prove Favora- ble to Lovers of the Dance ~Breezy Resumo of So- olal Gossip. Omaha's Lndy Swimmers. OUmaha society has a new craze which promises to rival the now almost forgotten roller skate mania. The latest is the swim- ming sohool recently opened on Howard street, and the “fad” has inits favor the fact that a valuable accomplishment is ac- quired. The splashing of the water, the lit- tie feminine shrieks and gasps and the titter- ings and laughter may possibly convey to the cars of the masculine passors- by somo idea of what might be witnessed if he could get beyond the hand- somely painted screen which blocks his wview during tne forbidden hours of the fore- noon and on Monday nights. A roporter, or perhaps reportress, found her way beyond the screen the other day, and found one ot tho gayest scenes which Omaha affords. All the beauty of Omaha ‘was plunging about in a bath tub—beauty not exactly unadorned, but closely approxi- mating it. Surely the venturesome youth who discovered Diana and her nymphs did not light upon a more bewilaering scene. ‘The tank, or swimming bath 1s about -lguy feet long, and of a depth runging from three t0 nine feet. There, Eluhlng and tumblin, about in the water, shrieking, lnug‘l:ln{ln #gmsping, clad in costumes of rainbow hues, and of designs most conducive to freedom of movement were thirty or forty of Omaha's rllu. The whole surface of the minature ke was a mazo of gleaming white arms and 1aughing faces. Over at one end the be- ginners, with an immense amount of sputter- ng and frantio plunges, were making the first attempt, supported by a band around the clest which was connccted by a rope to ® wheel which ran back and forth along & pole near the ceiling. The in- structor, Miss Estabrook, who, by tho way, s an accomplished swimmer, manipulates the ropes, and does it with infinite patience nnd care +0, yes,” she said, ‘‘they all learn in a little while, after they master theirjtimidity, but it is astonishing how they dread to get into the water. 'That young lady over there is & pretty fair swimmer. She wears no skirt, simply the drawers and sleeveless trunk and her limbs are uonnm]uen;ly un- trammeled and her stroke is graceful and strong. This is her fifth day in the bath and when she first came we quite a struggle to get her onto the three foot platform. That's the way with all of them, vhey shiver and gasp and imagive themselves drowned for a few les- sons but it soon wears off and they are able t0 swim half au hour or an hour at a time. **Our best swimmer is Miss Pollock over there,” andshe pointed to agraceful figure poised on the end of a springboard in the orthodox diver's attitude with the tips of her fingers joined above her head. “ghe could support herself in the water for half an hour without very much dificulty. The one in the black bathing suit is Mrs. ‘Warren Switzer, you seo_she is quito a fear- less swimmer. Miss Nina Marshal, the young lady in cream and blue, is ulso a good swimmer. Miss Luna Dundy, Miss Agnes Reed, Miss Brandeis, Miss Pundt, Mrs. Jo- seph Clarkson and Mrs. W.L.Lee are all doing splendidiy, and would not be very seriously incommoded by a capsized boat. The others of the class who can make the circuit of the tank are the Misses Jennie and May Wallace, Heimrod, Reynolds, Lot~ tie Hobbs, Pundt, Bertha Meyers, Lulu Loring, Lydia Loring, Catherine Reyolds, Mrs. Kate Marachner and C. S. Poor. Miss Sloan is absolutely fearless and in a short time will be one.of the bost.” Others now ‘under instruction who are making good progress and who will soon be able to experience the delightful sensations of swimming, diving, floating and all the rest of it are: Mesdames Thomas Orr, Dr. Burrows, 5. T. Alexander, John Will{ams, H. L. Lelley, A. C. Powell, Scipio Dundy, 8.J. Howell, R. 8. Pease, Misses E.E. Howell, Mattio Stone, Alice Andre- sen, Nellie Pratt, Viola Pratt, Fanny Buiterield, M. Butterfield, Fanoy Croft, Florence Coombs, Emma Drake, Welton, Balbach, Larimer, O'Neil, Nichols, ‘Woodman, Lena Marschner, Hungate, Mile lhnshl{hlduwp(. B, Seligson, Faony Gil- bert, Mabel Hellman, Daisy Doane and Car-- slo Goidsmith. They all scem to get an _immense amount of epjoyment out of it, and certainly to a na- tive Omahan the sight of the belles of society eleaying their way through the water, plung- ing headlong from the lofty spring-boards or floating upon their backs is a novel one. On Monday nights there are upwards of forty in the water and between 100 and 200 visitors. ‘The uproar which these nymphs create can be imagined. Dance at the Park. On Tuesday evening Miss Kelly and Miss Baxtor, of Tekamah, were tendered & danc- ing party at Eunscom park by Miss Sophie Roberts and Miss Shelley, of this city. Good music was furnished, the evening was pleas- ant and a delightful time was enjoyed. ‘The following were gucsts: Missos Kolly, Bax- ter, Lake, N. Redman, M. Stoney, [, Rogers, Brader; Mrs. Brader, Mrs. G. W. Roberts, Messrs. L, Littlefield, A. Argo, Kelly, of South Omaka, I, Seward, George Roberts, J. McConnuughey, Reed, Ed Roberts, Frank Stoney, Hardy, Mollvaine, Harry Stoney, Dr. Alcxander, ' Refreshments were sorved av o scasonable hour, and the dancing continued until midnight. The Tennis Tournamen The young men giving the tonnis tourna- ment at the Y. M. C. A, athletic park, the past weolk, were rather unfortunate in their “selection of dates on account of the heavy rainfall during the past few days. oourts on the grounds are not sodded, and on only ono evening were the three courts avail- able. ‘I'wo evenings . all of the courts were 00 muddy for games and the uncertainty of playing hus of couise interfered with the at- tendanca, although the turnout of spectaturs has been uniformly good, ut far from what it would have been had the playing been continued overy evening. The tourney will continue this week uutil some club wins the championship. The con- tosts have uwakened reuewed interest in those who play the game and las attracted the atteution of those to whom it 18 a new sport, and the result is sure to be the devel- opment of local players who may achieve national fawe as espert haudlers of the Facquot. At presont, there is considerable talk of holding a stato tournament, there being & mumber of tenuls clubs in the various cities of the state, und the time of holding it will probubly be in September. Itis amusing to sit among a group of spectators and hsten to the various com- ments of persons on the game as they show their knowledge or ignorance of the sport. Lawn tennis is comparatively a quiet pas- time, lacking all the boisterous elements of ‘base ball, but to a person understanding the it 1s s full of interest as the sport on amond. ‘To the unnitiated, it lacks interest and ap- poars almost silly. 'To enjoy a sot-to in lawn tennis you must understand the game, but & uounnny persons will find pleasure in ing a lrflumr of & match game of bas Pall without knowing scarcely anytbing »l that popular sport. tennis can never ball as @ national sport. recommended itself to the 10 young men of quiot tastes, and for this it is essentially a society game, A unt base ball enthusiast was heard to ex- Fluhhnwl( thus concerning shis gam ‘Rats ou your lawn tennis! It's nothing but & game for dudes” It is natural for & manly man to despise effeminucy, but be- cause youry ladics engage in the gbme of tonnis ulxo it does not signify that every who thus evloys bimsolf is womaniat is as much chauce foa active and bealthful exercise in the lawn tennis court ::hora is on the diamond, and besides, this nis is less dangerous, it is less violent, mnd the game hus not been surrendered to & f‘.u: fessionals who exercise for the mul- o. Last evening three doubles were played. [The frpt set was betwoon Doane sud Guiou, For ‘thu supplant ‘ennis of the Chioago stroot _elub, playing agairst Brown and Strang, of the St. Mary’s avenue olub, Brown and Strang won the first st with & score of 75 The other two were wom by their op- ents, In the second set Lathrop and rdon, of the Y. M. C. A. elub, batted the balls all over the courts of Brown and Kountze, whitewashing them in the first set and winning the second with a score of 6-4. Next_ K and Jordan sttempted a setto with Eastman and Coombs, but in the two sots played did not leave the ball mn their opponents’ court a single time and retired ignominiously from the fleld. Miss Orandall's Party. Miss Edith Crandall, of Webster street, gave a charming danciag party at Hanscom park on Monday evening. The invited guests, about thirty in number, drove out to the park about dusk, and by 8 o'clock all were in readiness for the dance, The even- ing was all that could be desired, and the at- mosphere just cool enough to make dancing a pleasure, The Musical Union orchestra furnished the music. At a seasonable hour light refreshments were served on the - ver- anda of the park house. After this tho dancing was renewed and continued until midnight. The dance proved a great social success and added lustre to Miss Crandall's reputation as a charming hostess.

Farnes- worth, A Wedding Anniversary. A most enjoyable time was had by about one hundred and fifty of the friends and rel- atives of Mr. George A, Bennett and wife at their home, 930 North Twenty-sixth street, last Tuesday evening. The occasion was the fifth anniversary of their wedding; invita- tions had been issued for a quiet euchre party, but the guests availed themselves of the opportunity and prosented the worthy couple with many handsome presents, not confining themselves strictly to the orthodox wooden ware, but including in the list a quantity of silver ware and numerous other articles of various descriptions. The Patriarchs Militant band was present and furnished most excellent promenade music, while the guests indulged in a spir~ ited but friendly contest for the prizes of- fered in a ‘{APQ‘!‘DI!‘VS euchre game. A very delicious supper was served before midnight to which all the party did ample justice. When the gathering dispersed it was with many expressions of enjoyment and with best wishes for the future welfare of their genial host and hostet ‘Woodmansee-Hade. Ma. Peter Woodmansee, of this city, was married on Monday evening to Miss Jennie Hade, formerly of Des Moines, Ia. The ceromony was performed by Rev. T. M.

The bridegroom wore the conventional black. After the wedding the company repuired to the home of the bride on Seventeenth stacet, ‘where a reception was tendered them. Mr. ‘Woodmansec has been in business 1 Omaha for the past four years, and for some time 'was a conductor on the Union .Pacific.

Danoing was one of the main pastimes of the day, the music being furnished by “Chief” Rowden, who aston- ished the galaxy of stars by his skillful handling of tho violin, Boat mding and other rollicking sports were indulged in, and the ofticers, pleased to doff their ofMcial dig- nity for the nance, capered like so many boys let loose from school.

Rebuked Grand Master Mercer. A circular has been {ssued, addrossed to the masters, wardons and brethren of the various lodges of ancient craft masonry in Nobraska,‘stating that at a regular meeting of Nobraska lodge, No. 1, A. F. & A. M., held at the hall of said lodge in Omaha, Neb., on the 6th day of August, A. L. 53S0, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we, the members of Ne- braska lodge, No. 1, Ancient Free and Ac- cepted Masons, in regular meeting assem- bled, at our hall in Omabs, county_of Doug- las and _ state of Nebrasks, on the Oth day of Ausust, A. L. 58S, recognizo in edict No. 1 emanating from Grand Master John L. Mercer, an attempt to introduce into the body of masonry a for- oign eloment, not recognized by our grand lufige as being masonic or as being a part of ancient craft masonry: against which at- tompt, we, 0s ancient craft Masons, do most earnestly and solemnly protest: ‘We recognize in such_edict an attempt of Grand Master John J, Mercer, in_his official capacity as such grand master, to recognize as logitimate, the authority over the ancient wnd accepted Scottish rite, claimed by the so- oalled southern jurisdiotion of the United States, presided over by Albert Pike; and ‘we, a8 ancient oraft Masons, do most earn- ostly and solemnly protest against such at- tempt as being in direct violation of the res- olution adopted by the grand lodge at its last communication, wherein the grand lodge ex- pressly declined to be committed to the rec- ognition of any such body. Inasmuch a8 our grand lodge at its last communication expressly declared iteelf sovereign body, ‘‘recognizing and having jurisdiction over no other degrees than those of entered apprentice, fellow craft and mas- ter mason,” and in the same resolution de- clined te enter upon any discussion of the history, use or logitimacy of any bodies claiming to confer what is known as Scottish rite degrees, and declined to recognize such bodies as masonic, or being a part of ancient craft masonry, we regard the action of Grand Master John J. Mercer in attempting to foist upon the fratarnity of ancient craft masonry a recognition of a Scottish rite body in defi- ance of suoh exvress declarations of our grand lodee, a base fnnovation, entirely for- eign to masonic law, tradition or usage, and a usurpation of power not kuown in l'ree- masonry, and not to countenanced by this lodge. The action of Grand Master John J. Mercer is not only in deflance of the expressed will of our grand lodge, but is designed to im- pose upon ancient craft masonry new and unwarranted qualifications; it plainly indi- cates a desire and intention on his part, so far as he can use his Kosll.(on for that pur- pose, to make membership in certain Scottish rite bodies affeot and determine the standing and qualifications of shcient craft masons. Abiding by the ancient tliarge that itis not 1 the power of any man or body of men to make innovations in the body of' masonry, we ex- pressly deny the existence ot any authorivy in our grand master to'impose upon masonry any new qualifications. “All the qualifica~ tions necessauy to obtain admission and recognition as a master mason are those taught and exemplified by the rituals and se- cret work adopted by our graud lodge: and we deem it the duty of every loyal aucient craft mason to resist to the ntmost this at- tempt to add to those qhalifications any addi- tional requirement. 1f it is proper for a nd master to deter- mine for Masons to wnat Scottish rite bodies they must not belong, ‘it also proper for him to require tho Masgns of this jurisdiction to leave & particular church or to abandon certain political parties, all of which we be- lieve to bo contrary to the cardinal doctrines and vital principies of ancient craft masonry. We, the members of Nebraska lodge No. 1, ghe oldest landmark of Freemasonry in the state of Nebraska, deem it our duty not only o protest against this attempted violation of the expressed will of our grandlodge and this attempt to make an_innovation in the body of masonry, but we deem it our further duty to call this protest to the thoughtful at- tention of the craft in this state; and to that end we direct that a copy of this resolution be sent to overy lodge of master masons m the statd of Nebraska, with the request that the samo be given equal publicity, both by reading and posting, with that accorded eaict No. 10f Grand Master John J. Mercer.

The Trestle Board says that at a late San Francisco funeral the deceased was a Hebrew, his widow a christian, the master of the lodge a catholic, and the master of Rose Croix, eighteenth degree, a Hebrew wearing the passion cross on his apron. Truly, masonry is & leveller of distinctions. Knights Templar. The grand recorder of the grand com- mandery of Nebraska Knights Templar, has issued the following circular: At a meeting of the four ranking officers of the grand commandery, who are authorized by the grand commandery to make all ar- rangewients for the triennial conclave, the grand racorder was instructed to inform the commandaries and knights of Nebraska that the grand commander and his staft have ar- ranged to leave the Missouri river, Thurs- day, October 3, 1859, reaching Washington City via Chicago and the Pennsylvania rail- road lines Suturday, October 5.

It has not yet been practicable to secure rates west of the Missouri river, but same are expected, and will be ‘p\lbhlhud when secured. No routewest of Chicage will be named at pres- nt. Those who desire to secure sleeping cars from the Missouri river to Washington city should at once forward to the grand recorder of Nebraska §6.70 for each berth,any surplus to be returned. Reclining chair cars will be furnished without charge for those who do not care for sleeping berths. ‘While at Washington parties may occupy berths in sleeping cars on side track, in pretty good location, four-blocks from street cars, at $1 per berthi pge: night; or may occupy rooms within blocks of the Masonic temple and Nebraska head- ?ulrmrs (No. 1009 Nint ey, N, W.) st rom $1.50 to $2 per ind| 1 per day with- out board, or from §2. $3.50 per indi- vidual per day with boz 0 meals—break- fast and late dinner, who desire to secure rooms should ati ; forward $10 per individual to the gran er, any surplus to be returned.

Tt has been suggested that the best pian of getting at the entertainment of the grand lodge, which meets in Omaha October 8, is for the representatives of the various Omaha lodges to ot together and by the appointment of suitable commit- tees arrango a_programme. It is generally observed that the simplest plan for the en- tertainment of the visiting brethren possiblo be adopted. A carriagedrive about the city and a visit to our promimnent merchantile und manufacturing institutions is proposed by some as far more entertaining ana vrofitable to the visitors than the sterootyped banquet and ball, whicli by oft-repotition has become somewhat ‘‘chestnutty.” The differonce which has existed during the past few woeeks betweon some of she members of Nebraska No. 1 aud its chanoel- lor-.commander with relation to the legal controversy which the lodge has undergono respecting the taking of recess has been ad- justed. The lodge has concluded not to ac- cept the dispensation granted it for a rocoss, but instead has decided to hold regular moeet- ings as usual. The results of the last moe! 1ng, however, were not altogether as har- monious as was desired, inasmuch as three officers have resigned and withdrawn from the lodge. These officers are the chancellor- commander, vice chancellor and the master- at-arms. By the aoction talken at the lust meeting the lodeze will henceforth run along smoothly, it is hoped, and the controversy whioh was expected to reach the graud lodge has boen amicably disposed. All factions are apparently satisfled and further un- pleasantness need not be fearcd. Lincoln No. 68, Sons of Benjamin, First Deputy Grand Master Bernhard Rosenthal, of New York, was in this city Wednesday and Thursday last organizing and instituting & lodge of the order of the Sons of Benjamin. This order is a mutual insuranco society, which insures the husband and wife. The former carries a policy of $1,00 and tho wife & policy of $500.

Afver the stallation ceremonies a bounte- ous supper was served in celebration of the event. Omaka lodge begins its existence with thirty members, all of whom exhibit great enthusiasm in the workings of the order. it WANTS EVERYBODY’'S HELP, The State Development Association Seeks Public and Private Assistance. At the meetir.g of the State Development association, Friday, the following circular was adopted and ordered circulated through the stato: To Board of Supervisors, County Commis- sioners, Trade Orgunizations and Other: For some years past there has been no. o ganized effort on the partof the people of this state toward making known the agricultural and other resources of Nebraska, thereby in- ducing an inflow of xopulniion and ocapital from other states and countries. While Ne- oraska has sat 8o idly by, our neighbors have not been so neglectful. Kansas, Dakota and other states and territories have annually ap- propriated large sums of money and expended the same in wel) directed efforts to increase their population, and, as a_result, they have grown marvelousity. Though recognizing the fact that to successfully compete with the or- ganized efforts of other states 1t is nccessary for the state itself to take upand carry on the worlk,many of our public-minded citizens have felt that until such time as proper state ap- propriutions could be had the work should be set on foot and carried forward by the contributions of those counties and commun- ities interested in having the vacant lands and natural resources of tho state developed. To this ead a call was issued for a convel tion of the various boards of trade through- out the state to be held in Omaha June 26, 1880. At that convention was organized the Nebraska State Development association, having for its objects the advertising of the state for the purpose of inducing immigra- tion and of calling attention to the various business opportunities that only await the application of the_ proper thing necessary to carry the proposed worl of the organization to a successful result, and that is money. A small fund will be received from the $10 membership fee required from ench trade organization, but for the bulk of the funds we must go direct to the people themselves. At a meeting of the board of managers, held in Omaha August 8, 188, the following reso- lution was adopted: - 3 » . . Pursuant to this resolution we earnestly request that each hoard of county supervisors or commissioners shall appropriate from the public funds the ampunt set forth therein, and we bave no_hesitancy in declaring that results will pe direct ana justify tenfold by increase in population and prosverity the iu- vestment made. Real es , banks and other institutions directly interested in the material prosperity of the state are also requested to coutribute liberally, both in funds and co-operation, to the work of the association. The general plan of this asso- ciation for direct advertising purposes to be: First—The collection of proper statistics of the products and resources of the state, of the undeveloped lands, the average prices of same and other information velating thereto. Second—This information to be published in pamphlet or other permancnt and attract- ive form and distributed extensively througn the United States mails and by the various railways baving agents in the cast. In addi- tion, thereto, nowspapers aro to he used as extensively as circumstances will justify in calling attention to the publicatious of the organization. Third—The work of the organization is in- tended to benefit the entive stute, but at the same time to especially benefit those coun- ties and communities that contribute to tho woric of placing at their dispo:al and excr- cising directly in their bohalf the important nfluence which this organization has i in- ducing immigration and in stimulating and locating new industries. The work of the organization 1s strictly of 8 public nature forthe public good. It has been carried along to tho present time and will be prosecuted in the future at no smail sacrifice of tine and money on the part of its members, and it 18 not too much to say that the contributions asked for will fall very lightly on the individual members of each county organization contributing, as com- pared with what is undertaken by the active members of the organization, The only per- manent salaried oMelal of the association will be the secretary, who will have charge under the board of managers of the correspondence and such work as pertains to his office. The organization will be strictly impartial 1 its endeavors to benefit the couuties con- tributing. Inasmuch as there will be o session of the legislature for nearly two years it will be impossible at this timo to sacuro & Atate ap- propriation to carry on the work, hence the necessity of this appeal to the people, which we hope will receive the favorable consider- ation which the objects sought to be attained should merit. For working purposes each congressional district will be in charge of the following members of the organization, who are au- thorized to receive and receipt for money: contributed and to appolnt such assistants as they may find necessary, to whom they may l:;lflllu the same authority conferred on om Flirst Congressional Distriot—H, T. Clark of Omaha, Second Congressional District—Joel Hull of Minden. Third Congressional District—g. K. Val- entine of West Polot. Coutributions should, when practicable, be made payable to vhe order of W. N. Nason, secretary, Omaha, who is lso authorized 10 receive coutributions direct. IN THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM. ‘Where Plous People Erect Temples to Honor the Lord. CASTELLAR STREET RELIGION, The Inception and Progress of the Christian Church in This Oity and the Pastors Oredited ‘With Them. Oastellar Street Church. A vory enorgetio society is the congrega: tion of Casteliar stroet church. The church home is located on the corner of Sixteenth and Castellar streots, one and half miles from the postofice. T'raciks of tho electric motor line have been laid along Sixteonth stroet in front of it, and cars will s00n be running on them. The church lot is 103 foot front on Sixteenth stroot by 83 feet deep. This property with improvements 18 vrobably worth $12,000, to offsev which there is but &,200 of debt. A very gracious act was that of Mrs. Jonnie Melntosh, who presonted to the church a house, to be used as a parsonage. Kvidence of the thrift and busivess instinct governing the charch affairs was offored, whon a new houso was built on the south side of the church and rentod at a very satisfactory figure. { In evory department of work the church is thoroughly ofganizod. The membership is 1104 there are three elders, two deacons and aboard of four trusteos. Its ladios’ mis- sionary society, in numvers, s the banner soclaty of the j)mnln Presbytery. During the first six months of tho year the Sabbath school averaged 105 membors, and is i excellent condition as regards manage- ment, finance and Instruction. Two girls' mission bands and one boys' band have been organize The Y. P. S, C. E. is growmg in favor and mombership, and has most holpful meetings. Over three hundred volumes of select books are in the library, which should as it is expected, prove a atrong faotor in the future work of the church. Religious and local papers are on flle in the reading room. An offshoot from the Castellar street church is the Sabbath-school at Ontario and Nineteenth streots, which was organized in the springof 1577und has now alot and chapel of its own worth together nearly $2,000. This school is doing_effective work. ‘Another branch is the Williams street Sabbath school, organized last December in the Summit hotel, Fifth and Williams streets. After some months of sorvice in the Summit hotel and the Hickory street school- house the society leased a iot on Williams street and set mbout to_raise money for building. A church 80x30 feet was orected immediatoly and the first service was held in 1t the first Sabbath of June. When plasterea and _completely furnished this building will cost $600, of which all but $200 will be paid on completion. The work during the summer has been con- ducted by Rev. S. K, Phraner, middler in Princeton seminary. His labor has been efficient ana_hignly appreciated by the peo~ ple. The Sabbath school and evening sorvice have each had an average attendance of 100. If the next three and one-half years shall show such marked advancement all along the many lines of its work as have tho first three and one-balf years of its existence, Castellar church will rank among the first in the city. Christinn Church in Omaha. This first Christian church in Omaha was organized in August, 1878, by Rev. B. B. Tyler, now of New York city. About fifty names were enrojled as chartor members. Meetings were held for about three years in the old Methodist church, now the Central United Presbyterian, on Seventosnth street. In 1582 a substantial frame house was erected at the corner of Twentieth and Farnam, and in 1885 this house was moved to its pres- ent location, at the corner of Twentieth street and Capitol avenue. The present church property 1s estimated to be worth About two years ago the Walnut Hill church was organized and now owns a good house, has a membership of sevonty-five and is about self-supporting, The membership of the First church is _now two hundred, and s steadily increasing. Some of Omaha's most prominent _ citizons are members of this church, and it is ropidly taking its place among the most prominent churches of the city. 1ts Y. P. S. C.
