THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 17, 1889, ~TWENTY PAGES. OUR VOTARIES OF PLEASURE The Shrines at Which They Wor- shipped the Past Weelk. A HAPPY SILVER WEDDING, A Delightful Lunch at the Olub, the Cotillion Party and a Sugges- tion as to a Calico Charity Ball. Folly's Engazemrnts, Winter has finally come, and General Pleasure hus marshalled his forces to put to rout snow and cold and dull days with the weapons, cotillions, dinners, luncheons, teas,, pleture-hangings, theater and opera parties, and the amunition of crusking siyle, stun- ning gowns and killing glances. During the contest, where “‘the only pow- der is faco powder and the ouly bullets fancy balls,” there will be light skirmishing by the men and maidens, reconnoitering by the spinsters who still have chilly bopes of firing aheart, and a heavy artillery of old beaux who were eligible when the country was in its toens. In the background ure the usual quartermasters in fathers, husbands and brothers, while any amount of dowager chuperories pose as dragoons. ‘Lhere will bo trifling and serious engagements. In the firsy instance each party will come off with nothing graver than flesh wounds. In the second there will be shattered hopes and broken hearts and ugly scars that will last through ull time. Happily again, in_an engagemont when a strugglo was forotold, the cause of the con- flict_ will be forgotten over our clasped bands and vows of eternal fealty, ‘Lhere will bo yielding of forces to the superior member of family and friends, when, left alone, with the natural attack. the fortress might huve Been held against the enemy. There will be the sacrificing of self for old and General Midas wili carry off the aughters of the regiment. There will be the brass band of blatant coguetry, the bugler of first. affection, the drummer of high five and the camp followers who have not yet mounted the first round oa the sociul ladder. To those who are out of the struggle, the music will alwnys sound gay and the colors always appear flaunting. “To them, wonder- ing, will come reports of engagements. kisses and what not and they willshuke thoir heads and prophecy the total ruin of society. The contest will wage fast and furious until Winter, fearine to lose his ideatity in the simmer emblems of flowers, fiutter of fans and light gowns, will call Ash Wednes- day to his aid, bringing by its deadly monot- ony a literal savipg grace and thereby win- ning the battle, putting the 400 worn out and spiritiess to rout and fairly driving shem into the church for rest and safety. A Silver Wedding. ‘When a twenty-fifth wedding anniversary dawns on health, wealth anu happiness, the bride and bridegroom of a quarter of a cen- tury have occasion to exclaim with the poet: “O giftof God! O perfetday!” and to be thankful for it in their very souls, Such was last Tuesday to Mr. and Mrs. E, Rosewater with the added charm of winter’s sunshineand that sunshine of the heart that is reflected from the warm regard of thought- ful disinterested fricnds. Old neighbors who have smilingly greeted them at the wooden and crystal anmiver- saries gathered about them with outstretched hands literally crossed with silver, to wish them happiness and bright days. A near and dear family gathered about them nt dinner with a pretty remembrance from the absent daughter in the exquisite white aud silver dinner cards painted with the heads of children to incline their thoughts to the long awo. ‘The diniog-room was fairly embowered in smilax and chrysunthemuums, the table made beautiful with rhyming decorations, and Mrs. Rosewater added the nceded touch of appearing in her wedding gown, a biue silk with full skirt and pointed waist of an old- time fashion, with soft lace framing throut and wrists. Flowers everywhere testified to the sweet recollection of their many friends, while silver tokens almost rivalling the roses in number, will in the home life of the coming yesrs, serve to recall the celebration of this right day. The employes of Tae Bre composing room remcmbered Mr. and Mrs, Rose- water with a handsome silver oyster dish prettily engraved with ‘I864-1580,"" while the staff and employes in the busi- ness office presented them with gn ex- quisite bust in Parian murble, the bowed head of a girl with a_bird on her shoulder. ‘The standard was of onyx and brass, and made s fitting pedestal in its dainty beauty, Accompanging this was the following ad- eas tastefully framed in frosted silver: CONGRATULATORY. Mr. and Mrs, Rosewater:—On this twenty- fifth auniversary of your marri , the un- dersigned employes of [ne Bee Publishing Company desire to offer their heartiest con- gratulations and the assurance of their high esteem, It is vouchsafed o but few to attain the silver epoch of wedded life, and to still fewor to reach it in the possession of all the blessings of prosperity, of family ties un- brok: and with the future bright with fairest promise. On this day, crowded as it may be with memories of brave cffort and toilsome struggle, patiently acd cheerfully pursued, as weil as with the recoliection of youthful love ana of the hope and aspiration of young munhood and womanhood, it js your privilege to proudly point to the acquisitions of these years of mutual effort as the just and honorable ' reward of up- Tight purpose and well-directed labor. It was said by the wisest of men: **Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaneth favor of the Lord,” and of the virtuous woman it 18 written: ‘Her husband known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.” Jn your lives the wisdom of the sages of Israel s justified. Tho moritorious record -of the past has its amplo testimony in' the bountiful prosperity of the present. May the future years, pro- longed to the full measure of the scriptural ‘;mmllo. bring with them no less choice lessings in richer abundance, Dancing in the Barn. Yeolden time custom of aancing in the ‘barn was revived last Tuesday night at Happy Hollow by the delightful host and hostness, who must. have in their possession f garnda stone or some other magical charm 1o be uble to give for the wishing so much pleasure to their friends, Bucophalus and Veillantip could scarcely have been better stabled thun are the fortu- nate horses belonging to Mr. J. N, F Pat- rick. Every appointment is perfect and the necessary adjuuncts are made positively deco- ravive; everything a man could desire in h stabie or s horse require for his comfort, is ore. ‘Tuesday evening this admirable interior almost lost its identity in being transformed into u ball room. ‘The apartment where the carriuges ure washed was made a voritable music box; the harness room, with plate gluss cuses across one eud reaching to the celiing and fillea with shiuing sil- ver mounted hurness, & snug inviung .open fire at tho other, was a most alluring place for a toto-a-tete, while the canvas floor was irresistible to dance- loving feet. ‘The eurriage house with eight polished, hard wood stalls was wurned, a8 by @& magic wand, into & supper room with a lon pitable table grosviug under the weight of a massive silver coffee service and the old-time wviands of doughuuts, apples, biscuit, pickles, ngerb tongue, ham, turkeys waiting r the knife, apple and mince pio and cider. ‘Toe music was lnlltldnf. “Danciog in tne Harn" was the favorite of the eveaing. The nhufiuclvf of the women's gowns and total lack of formahty with a world of young « People and many older ones to enjoy it, natu- xally resulted in a superlatively bright, jolly eveniug, such uk can only be spent at ** Y Hollow." Mr. Patrick’s is as beautiful as unlimited purse strings and cultured taste can make it, # is O:A:dauhudu the most inished home 1 west, The First Cotillion. Washington hall has all the comfortable appointments that 2o to make up a really de- sirable place to hold dunces. The ball room is large, well ventilated and the floor is ad- mwirable, The dressing rooms ure sizeab o and the supper room wonld accommodate any numoer of people. Par consequence, it will rapidly grow in favor, particularly ‘with the clubs, Thursday evening the Cotillion gave its first dance there, and the attendance fore- t01d a permanent success, The guests were recoived by Mrs. Patrick, Mrs. Brooke, Mrs. Yates, Mrs, Barker, Mrs. Wheaton, Mrs, Dundy and Mrs, Ramsey. A pleasant pro- gramme of dances guided the steps until 10 o'clock, when the cotillion, lea by Mr, Pat- rick and Miss Bessie Yates, Mr. Arthur Smith and Miss Stewart, of Council Bluffs, Mr. Fuber and Miss Bessie Hall, four fizures were danced, the German closing promptly at 12 o'clock.

Smith, McMillan, Hall, Captain Garrard, Hutchinson, Squires and Cofutt, Thore were charming women in charming gowns and the whole affair looked a boguet of beauty and diamonds, yueen of a Night. “What, tired of the German already? ‘Why darling, I'm really surprised, 1t can't be your fond hopos, ere coming, So soon have been all realized. Of course, you've had noond of favors, The men have bsen daft since you came, You'll carry the brightoess all with you,— “I'he waltzing itself will be vame, For half of the beaux when you leave them. s It really is cruel my dear, And then for your reason, believe me, A My mind still refuses to clear, You've flirted with every nice fellow, Given rosebuds and smiles without end, Making every one think himself blessed, In being your heart's dearest friend. Your gown is simply perfection, Your face is as sweot as a prayer, Your conquests, how stupid, I see it, Your rival's not here, I declare, To see, and grow groen at your triamphs, "Tis maddening dear, Uil ullow. Miss Smith your eotillion is perfect, I'm sorry we're leaving it now, But Carry is worn out with dancing The doctor forbids her late hours.” ‘‘Here love, I've made your excuses, Your gloves—good night Mrs, Smith—and your flowers.” A Calico Charity Ball. While the question of another charity ball is rufiling tho air, a timely suggestion might incline the hearts of the good people to con- sider an_innovation in the way of mving, and also in tho way of pleasing. Why should not the barbario and splondid west set asido its trimmings for the nonce, and have a calico ball for charity, with the women in Drint gowns to be given the fol- lowine day to the poor, and thomen in rendy made clothes to go the same blessed way? ‘I'he memory of man runpeth not to the time when charity balls, as institutions, were not tho subject of cavil on account of the waste of money. Hero is & manner of eotertainment that entails very little ex- pense for toilot, and has, in adaition, the in- violate charm of being somothing neiv. Sweet women in calico gowns, graced witk_humility will be foir s saiots in the . rogard their escorts, while for the men, let them buy a cacap suit of clothes, or wear somo. thing about to be discarded. Purple and fine linon could not win for them more dances, or & mora graceful rewurn for thair courtesies, 1f undertaken by fashionable women, with charily in their hearts, thocalico ball could be made Lhe event of the season and an army of shivering poor would bless the dance that gave thom clotiics und comfort for the winter, A Olub Luncheon. A luncheon at the club has maiufold at- tractions, the opportunity of hunting for a time on the husband’s preserves appears in- viting to the guests, while the certainty of a delicious meau, perfectly served, carries comfort to the heart of the hostess who bids them break bread with her.

Romamber that at the Denver mecting it had a marked follow- ing, although it wasythe first time that it came up to be votedfupon in a meeting of the enginecrs, Forsixteen years the question of federation was never a feature of the meetings, and 1o, its. initiative struggle it received a vory fattering support. and to that extent thdt its adoption musy and will surely tako place. In the meeting at Denver, it received a strong. support from the eastern representatives. There were men there that voted for Chief Arthur's re-elootion that also voted in favor of federating, although every vote of this kind_representod the two extremes. Buy Mr. Arthur did not aim to compass the de- feat of federation through his re-election. ‘the ground upon which he desired re- election was to endorse him in the stand he had taken in connection with the Burlin gton strike. 1 beiieve that he was not so dcsir- ous of the office as he was of a vindication, 1 would not_be surprised if Mr. Arthur ten- dered his resignation at the next unnual meeting. In his re-election he established beyond a doubt that his policy was in keep- ing with the situation and condition of affairs during his administration. “We have now two propositions relative to federation to work upon. One is the fed- eration of train employes and the other the federation of all railway employes. The lat- ter provision allows the employes of each rail- way system the privilege to act independ- ently as regards the employes of otner sy tems. ‘This is similar to the form of federa- tion ndopted on the Union Pacifie.

The action was brought by division No. 03,0f this city, and the intorested prosecutors are proud of their victory.” ‘'Since the court bas held that we are right,” siid an officer of the union, “wo now propose to make 1t lively for a number of other prominent Omah merchants who have been selling cigars from a box coutain- ing the counterfeit label, Suits will be be- AUD at once Lo restrain them, and tho boys will make their fght to a finish, as we aro ) satisfied that we have the law upon our side, ‘Saloonkeeers will got a dash that will overpower them. A great many members of our unioa have, from time to timo, noticed that certain saloons have refusod to sell union made cigars; aund, whilo I have no au- thority to state the fact as coming from the Cigarmakers' union, I am confident that some of these objectors will be hoycotted in a quiet way. The saloon men will laugh at this, but they will be sorry for itin the end.” No Barber Delegate. The white union barbers of Omaha met Thursday night for the purpose of electing a delegate to the national convention of bar- bers, which couvenes in Detroit, Mich., Decemver 3. After a cureful and intelligent discussion it was concluded that it would not be politic for the order to send a delegate, the expense would be t0o0 great a strain on the present financial condition of the union. The Omaha barbers have been organized as a union only about one year, and, nat- urally, can not afford extravagance, Their sympathies, however, will be expressed by mail and the next time the union holds national convention Omaha will be repre- sented by a delegate. ‘I'he princival topics to be discussed will be the revision of the constitution. It was the first and only constitution adopted by the uational association, and since 1ts adoption the members have discovered where revision may be made to their benefit. 1t was published in a E interview that one of the topics for discussion at the na- tional convention would be Sunday work and evening nours, but this is denied by the offi- cers of the local order. Making Union Horseshoers. The commiittee sent from the Horseshoers' union, which was iustructed to ascortain the numver of non-union shops t1n Omaha, found about twenty-five. Thefact was reported at the meeting Wednesday night. All the non- union men were solicited to join the union, and the bosses were quietly counseled with. The principal objection was thut the scale of prices was too high, As the scale now stands dloormen get $3.00 and foremen $3.50. 1t is true that there are foremen who got 4.00, but the scale only calls for $3.00 per da, The journeymen who wve union men have no thought of asking for o raiss in wages, but 1t will be their last act to decrease the union scale in order to take in scabs. Reads the Bee. In the last number of tho Nebraska State Laborer Mr. B. S, Littlefleld, the editor, malkes the following comment : “Tie OMAKA BEE in its troatment of labor- men and labor matters is by far the fairest of any of the metropolitan_ papers of tho state, Its Sunday issuo is_always ropleto with information of great interest to labor- men.” The Late Strike. One of the zood results of the late London strike, suys tho Philadelphin Journal of Labor, ‘which can never be put down in figures is the discovery whick the dockers have made that thoy have a capacity for orgunization, self-control und cousequently self-help, which has becn hitherto unsus- vected. A movemont which evideuces con siderablo vitaity for the organization of London workingwomen is another outcome of the strike which caunot be reckoned in figures. Not Yer Seitled. Information haus been recoived that the coal miners' strike ut Sorauton, Kan., has not yet been sottled. The miners in that county were never in a worse condition thau at present, and prices are about 40 cents per ton lower than thay were one year ago. Miners and mine Iaborers are requested to stay away until such time as the trouble has boen satisfuctorily adjusted. Notes, Deputy Labor Commissioner Jenkins, says th Laborer, is pursuing u course of experi- ment with sugar beots, and Saturday sent & number of additional specimens to Washing- ton for analysis. The certificate of analysis of the first sample is very gratifying to those who are confident that sugar raising can be profitably conducted in Nebrasia, t e A FIGHT WITH A PYTHON. He Was Nine Feer Long and as Big as Your Arm. John Braun and hissister, who live at 44 Avenue D, were cn&oying a comfort- able glass of beer In Fritz Pubst’s sa- loon in Park row, about 9 o'clock last night, says the New York Sun. The back room, where they were sitting, was once used for a concert room, before the lzw divorced beer and music, and the rear of the room was titted up with rural scenery that carrvies a German’s thoughts back to scenes of country pleasure. OMr. Braun's back rested comforta- bly agaiost a railing that enclosed the otherwise open stairway to the ¢ . A stepladder rested on the rail L side him and hung alongside the shory dividing wall between the front and back rooms. His sister sat oppo- site him, facing the stairway. Pabst and Louis, the bartenders, were be- hind the bar, and in front of it, seated at tables were Andrew Shoemaker, & truckman of 34 Columbia street; Will- iam J. Presse, ol 84 High street, Brook- lyn; Richard Cluff and Robert Weir. Cluft was just raising a big glass of beer to his lips when the whole party heard Braun’s sister cry: **Look out, John, there’s a worm!” Just what Braun thought she meant no one knows, but he answered: “Oh, what of that? " “Look out! ”’ she c¢ried again, ‘“‘He'll kill you! Brown cast a look behind him, to where his sister’s eyns were riveted, and the next moment he bounced into the barroom. Hia eyes were sticking out, and he was white as a ghost. ““Boss,” he stammered. pointing to to the stairway, ‘‘there's snakes in there.” Cluff put his glass down. “‘He's got ‘om n;{mn," ho sa1d to his ohum Weir, “and I don't take anothor glass if he soos snakes.” Everybody ran into the back room. Sure enough there was u snnke, and a bigone. He was crawling out of the cellar, and when Braun first saw him ho had got his head a foot or so above the rail and was survoying his new sur- roundings, He wasn't half as excited as Braun was, but when the latter turned his hoad the snake took it asa versonal affront, and Brauw found him- sell looking into o big mouth adorned with wicked looking fangs. The snake'’s black eves sparkled and his tongue played in and out like lightning. He had concluded to go up the stepladder when the rest of the party got there. Pahst sprang behind the bar for a revolver, Shoomaker shed his big overcoat and graqved a choose knifo from the bench counter, and Louisap- pearod with an ax from the kitchen. Luff clung to his glass of beer. Braun's sister got behind the table. The; moved to the attack in a hollow “If T don’t hit him, stab him, cried, and bang went the revolver, “Bang!” “Bang!” Slash and chop weni the knife and ax, and the snake, who had got the whole of his nine-foot. body into play, held on to the step- ladder with his tail and slashed around, direoting his open jaws first against one and then another. ‘Give it to him!" ‘Now you've got him!” They were at close quarters. The snuke had already govonebullet in him, out of five that Pabst fired, besides two or threo big cuts from Shoemaker’s weapon, Blood spouted clear over the hends of his gssailants, and into Cluft’s beer. Suddenly the snake launched himself right into the midst of them. It was a fatal move. Louispinned him with the axe and Snoemaker nearly cut him in two with the cheeso knife. The snake gave up, and with a last effort slid back into the cellar. There was a general impression that he had re-enforcoments there. Nobody followed for a time. Then Presse crept down cautiously, caught him by tho tail, and dragged him forth. He was harmless then, but he was still writhing in muscular convulsions half an hour later when a Sun reporter saw him. Ho was safely stowed away in the hottom of a barrel, The cellar walls divide Pabst from Charles Reiche & Brother’s animal store, and it scemed safe to assume that the snake had escaped from there. He was abont nino feet long and as thick as & man’s arm. He is probably a young python. Reiche’s was locked up and dark, “Go for him!” AR How Oampnor is Made, Camphor is made in Japan in this way: After a tree is felled to the earth it is cut into chips, which are laid in a tub or a large iron pot partly filled with water and placed over a slow fire. Through holes in the bottom of the tub stenm slowly rises, and heating the chips generates oil and camphor. Of course the tub with the chips has a closely fitting cover. From thiscover a bumboo pipe leads to a succession of other tubs with bamboo connections.and the last of these tubs is divided into two compartments, one above the other, the dividing floor being perfor- ated with smail holes to allow the water and oil to puss to the lower compart- ment. ho upper compartment is supplied with a straw layer, which catches and holds the camphor in crystal in deposit as it passes to the cooling process. The camphor is then separated from the straw, packed in wooden tubs, and is ready for market. The oil is used bv the natives for illuminating and other Ppurnoses.
