THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAX, JUNE 22, 1800—SIXTEEN PAGES. TOM PINCH'S STAGE COACH, From Its Deck Are Noticed Phases of City and Ovuntry Life. 1 THE INTERLACING TREES OF FLORENCE. The Picture of An O1d Maid, a Cherub and Its Mother at the Window as the Vehicle Lums« bers By, ‘fhe world with its movable types as viewed from the top of a coach,assumes a new charm and fntorest, It savors of a visit to the green yootns, where the geomotric fantasies of the stage are set aside for the nonce. There isa spicy suggestiveness of a masque and the uent liberty of judgment and action. In short, it opens new vistas of sight-seeing and causes the eyes to grow big with wonder, Picture a brave coach with six spivited \ horses and a lot of people atop, just a trifie plunged in reverie from the natural fatigue of a day’s outing and follow one pair of ey for your diversion. After leaving Pri lake the road proper is shadowed by trees, that, from long friendliness and, maybe a touch of lonesomeness, are holding hands. Here, o laughing bending of the head in re- spect is necessary, to tho avoidance of a ]lmflu | illustration of Absalom's fate, “rom the top of the hill in the open, the view is enchanting. To the w the trees and underbrush stretehing away in wavy undula- tion of hill aud valley, form a sylvan retreat of such charming mystery that ears strained to attention can almost hear the fluting of a wandering faun. Over all hangs suspended, low on the horizon, the great red disc of the sun quick with a prom- ‘ ise of heat on the morrow To the east the blue line now and then by a feathery cloud, scem to shut the world about in a band of beauty. Below, the river slowly moving, under the alchemic power of the setting sun, is creased ‘with light.

The buildings look fairly ma- " jestic, and the cool surfaceof the great busins dimple and change with every breeze. O\ur the bridge, that trembles with the weight of coach and horses, then up the in- cline that leads to Florence'town. Here the f bluffs, topped sleepiness that marks it during the day is coming of twilight, g accentunted in the lazy and a stifed yawn is the result of a sweep view until over the top of half-drawn cu tains two pictures hold an i «d gaze. A maiden, long past lay of life making her toilet, and put- touches of some coloring matter to hair.

Then a bit of tree-bordered road and a Jook into the top of catalpa trees, a breathing in of the fragrance as dainty as orchid Across sone tracks, past the Parker place, with the grass newly cut, delighting eyes and nostrils alike. "Through the gurrison with its shaded ways surprising a brass but- toned soldior into a sudden swell and steut and _the ‘putting on of more airs than the band can play.’ Out again with a swinging gait, cracking of whips and snatches of song bringing all ages of heads to the window: A littlo run over the flat prairie to the pave ment und then the progress is as easy and unimpeded as it is for him who sours through life on golden eag] A'mian in his shirt sleeves, wearing a shin- ing silk hat and_enguged meanwhile in burn- hu( brush, excites shouts of laughter, A and girl wandering hand in hand and reaming in darvkness and dew,” even at - ll\w altitude cause the heart to beat quick with sympathy, while the sight of a little bird, flying sleepily against the motor wive to find death in the cruel touch moves one and all to sign: “The emof - s that have been somnolent dur- ing the brief period of bucolic peace beeome assertive as the distance from man, and his lubitation grows less and the pain and pleas- ure of living take up again the burdens of an endless warfare, beginning to twinkle in the deop- ening twilight and the lights of town gle and glow a welcome, All too soon the hur aflic and travel burst iu no ou tho cars that for half a duy, have revelled in the sounds of nature, An outing to the country is a godsend and a seat on the top of the coach is a sinecure for an iusight such as only comes in_ the o perience of o clairvoyaut and u Bek roportor.

In explanation of this action Mr. Middleton says that the worl is very light because busi- ness has been -reduced to a minimum and there is no excuso for keeping expenses up when there is hardly anything doing. To avoid making a wholesale discharge of employes It has been decided to limit the lat- ter to eight hours, and consequently, eight hours' pay at the same rate of wages which they have been recelving for nine and ten hours, At this rate,however, the reduction ordered cannot be met by simply shortening tho work- ingd onsequently the foree is to be reduced about 5 per cent., This means that from fifty to sixty men will be laid off from the shop force in this city; also a proportionate number of the forces at Armstrong, Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland ana other place: Heretofore, when retrenchment seemed necessary, expenses were decreased by sum- marily discharging enough workmen to meaet the emergency. If Mr. Holcomb has been correctly in- formed, the men would rather retain their jobs under the eight-hour system and take chances of making up # portion of their de- ed earnings by working extra hours ccasionally than to be thrown out of em- ployment entirely. He dec! that the order for reduction is in no sense extraordinary ; that it was issued solely in the interests of the company, and is ouly a repetition of what has been done nearly every summer. It will con- tinue in ~ force unitl su, time as it becomes necessary to increase the forces again. The increase al- wil takes place in tho fall and winter months when traffic grows heavy and the road is crowded with freight ca HOW THE ORDER WAS RECEIVED, For some weeks it has been known such an order was c consequently when the men went to work in the various deparuments - yesterday morning they were not surprised to_see notices posted “at the gates and at various places about the build- ings notifying them that from and after to- morrow the working hours of all men em- plm ed in the different departments would be wduced from nine aud one-half to eight hours ght hours pay, and five hours on Sat- that With short time a_murmur of dissati tion was heard, but it was only tempor and when thé 7 o'clock whistle blew the men were all in their places, as unconcerned ais though they were to continue working on full time, When the noon whistle blew the men_ laid down their tools and quictly left the shops, accepting the situation with the best possible i In spealsing of the order and its cffect, John Wilson, assistant,superintendent of o power nd machinery, last night said: + have mdnl\‘ no arrangements with the men, but it is known that most of them will accept the eight-hour lan, as they prefer the shorter hours rather than to be discharged. Hereto- fore we have been working nine and one-half hours, but this season, the same as during cach preceding season, business has slacked up and it has become necessary to curtail ex- penses. “During former years we have discharged large numbers of our men, but this year we thought, to adopt a new plan, which is to give them all, or nearly all, work, but shorten the s only temporary, for as soon iness sets in we shall be com- pelled to put ou a lavgor force and run on full time. “It was rumored carly in the morning that there would be trouble” if the hours were re. duced, but this did not occur. The men re- alized the situation, and while v feelit v, there will be no demenstrations. 1 some of them will quit, but most of thie old men will stay. “The order is general and includes every shop on the line between Omaha and the Pa- cific const, so it can readily be scen that it wis not a blow struck at the Omaha shops M. . Connors of the locomotive wood de- partment said: I knew several days ago that such an order was coming, but'at that t#hme I supposed it was the intention to cut the time to seven instead of to eight hours, consequently things are not as bad as antici- pated. The only notice we have had of the reduction has been gained from the civculars posted up about the shops and the account published in iast night's “In talking with the men I find that most, of them prefer the present plan to a wholesale discharge, and feel pretty well satisfied with the situation. A great many of the young men will quit, and, as they hay trades, I think they will huve no difiiculty in findg employment.” “The notices posted at the gates leading to the Union Pacitic shops was the first intimug- tion we bad that our hours were to be cut,” said J. F. Whalen of the locomotive depart- ment, “bat,” continued he, “most of us will take our wedicine li ‘We would rather take ecight hours and all stay than to take nine and a half hours and run the risk of being discharged, Just now work is slack and if we insisted on ni 1 one-half hours it would result in the of from three hundred to four hundred men, Some of the singlo men will leave and try a hand at sometliing elso, “Working on the new plan we can_bavely make u living aud -support our familics, us with cight hours and 30 cents an hour it is an easy matter to figure out the income, but we lope it will be better after a while.” Wine in the White House.

By not allowing a bav at the Shoréiam Mr, Morton cuts off the most remunerative purt of a restaurant, as few people . drink . wine with their meals—which is the preper way to drink stimylints—and many indulge in perpendicular consumption of ‘hrandy, whisky, ete. The manager of the Shorvham deplores. the stand M Morton bhas taken against an open bar.

With the re- moval of this entightened colonel to another post the poor sergeant lost his furloughs and his usefulness, and again was always in the guard house. I commend the course pursued by the father of his country and my friend the colonel to a congress that proposes to abolish canteens in the army What appalls me in all this effable business is that these reformed reformers call them- selves Christians, whien Christ's first miracle turned water into wine, aud His last_supper actually consecrated wine as His blood!

M., which was held in this city during the poast week was one of the most remarkable ever held in this state. The Scottish rite questionswas the most important one before the grand lodge and was warmly debated, some of the ablest spoakers in the stato tak- ing part on both sides, The matter occupied an entire doy and was ended by the grand lodgo ondorsing the action of the grand master, It 1s now asserted by the Pike men in this city that the new grand master would issue an edict within thirty days notifying all the members of the United States jurisdiction to withdraw or be ex- pelled. The message of the grand master was a re- markable document. It contained thirty-nine pages, thirty-two of which were devoted to defending his course in issuing his famous edict. It was strongly intimated that the address had been written for the grand master, and the phrascology bore the ear marks of an ofticer other than its purported author. ‘The following decision of the grand master on a question submitted to him and reported to the grand lodge in his address will be of fInterest in view of the that the Pike men claim pos of the state by virtue of the statute of limi- tation: “In Masonry there is no statute of fraud or limitations, neither is it governed by statute or common law rules, The question in every case of Masonic offense is, ‘Has the brother violated the laws or prln-"Ylm of Masoury !’ If so, he is subject to discipline, no matter whether it is an offense against the law of theland or not.” According to that ruling the Pike body has no i, of possession because it was tacitly admitted that the printing of the blue lodge ritual was done by the Pike body, and that of itself makes it clandestine, and therefore fraudu- lent, and the statute’ of limitation cannot lie. On the last day of the session the charter of Nebraska lodge No. 1 was ordered re- stored, provided those members who were present when the wery ~1nm. d Hu‘lnlln\\nm flfflll‘N “l‘“‘lh («‘41 stalled : Robert B.

A middleaged lady, with a black alpaca dress worn shiny at the elbows and a cheap shawl and a cheap bonnet, and her hands puckered up and blue, as though she had just got her washing out, went into the oftice of u prominent Mason a few mornings since, s Peck's Sun, aud toof a chair. She wiped he nose and the perspiration from her face on a blue checked apron, and when the Mason looked at her with an Interested, brotherly 1ook, us though she was in trouble, she said: “Are you the boss Mason " He blushed, told her he was a Mason, but not the highest in the land. She hesitated a moment, fingered the corner of her apron, and curled it up like u boy speaking a piecein school, and askea: “Have you taken the whole 223 degrees of Masoury " The man_laughed and told her there were ouly thirty-three degrees, and that he had ouly taken thirty-two. The other degree could only be talein by a very few, who wore recommended by the grand lodge,’ and they had to 20 to New York to get tho thirty-third degree. The lady studied @ minute, unpinned the safety-pin that held her' shawl together, and put it in her mouth, took a long breath, and said : ““Where docs my husband get the other 200 degrees then 2 “The prominent Mason said he guessed her husband never got 200 degrees, unless he had degree factory. He said he didn't under- ud the la “Does my © t0 set up with o corpse threo nights a week ! she asked, her Hashing fire.

When a Mason was sick, and away from home, or when his family desired it, the brethren were only too glad fo sit up with him, but there were so many Masons, and so fow' sick, that it was only once in two or three months that a brother was called upon to sit up with anybody. ‘“‘But why do you ask these questi asked ‘the prominent The woman picked the frmgv of her shawl, hung her head down, and said “Well, my husband began to join the Ma- sons about t taking degre ever; night sin madame?”’ ¢o years ago, and he has bec or sitting up with people L and he comes home at all times of the night smelling of beer and I thought at first that the cheese was sult of his going to the morgue to help ¢ brother Masons Lome after they had found in the He has come home ice with the wrong pair of drawers on, and when I asked him how was, he said it was ret he could not reveal under penalty of All he could say he took a degree.

T had him sewed up and he was redy tor more degrees. After he had taken, [ thinls, about 150 degrees, I told him I should think bb would let up on it, and put some po- tutoes in the cellar for winter, but he said when a man oneo got started on the degrees to take them all, or he didn't amount yibing. One time I wanteda hat to ar to church, with & feather on, and he suid feathers were all nonsense, next day he brought homoe a with a felt coal scuttlo in it, anc feather nu it that couldn’t nave cost less than $10, the way I figure millin And when bo put it an, and 1 laughed af his ridiculous sppear- ance, he begun to throw his arms around, and I asked him what was the matter, and hé said that it wa ud hailing si;:n of dis- tross, and if Ididn't look out an avenge would appear from a darck closet and run a shot with a cannon, was that toadsticker through me for a scoffe I3 must have spent a fortune on the last 150 de- gree.

Tn a proclamation issuad by the suprome counci] of Peru is announced its withdrawal from that immense cronture of the imaginne tion, the confederation of the suprome coune cils of the world, said to have been affected by the council held at Lausanne, Switzerland, {nthe yoar 1875, but which died almost bo- fore it had been born. The suppression of any allusion to the Deity in their documents and u denfal fn the belief of the immortality of the soul, proclaimed it to bo dogmas of the confederated Scottish Rite Masonry in ao- iction of its standard motto, s Moumque Jus,” proved too radieal an fnnovation not to be repudiated by all the supreme councils having an actual oxistenco suve that of France, As no second assom- blage of the confederated congress has over been heard from sinee the adjournment of tho delegates, it was currently believed that the confederation had vanished into thin smoke, as, In fact, it had. The promulgation of au’ athomas by Albert Pike against the supremo council of the United States and that of Spain, in the name of the dissolved cotfeder- ation, has, however, ovokod attention and in- duced all the prominent councils of both tho English and Latin races to retire from . the presumed orgunization and to publicly vepu- diato the atheistical dogmas set forth as the cardinal principles of Scottish Rite Masonry, now practiced by the confederaton of regu’ lar councils according to Pike's definition. The Supreme Grand Master, The Templars of Canada aro discontented with their Sovercign Master ad vitam, says the New York Mereury,us the vencrablo gentleman cannot bo induced to entertain progressive ideas and fs given to. rebuking the uniforms, pilgrimages and dress parades in which the Templars this side ghe border delight to indulge, Grand Master Moore has prepared a circular to be read in the precep- tories and gave the manuseript to the Grand Chancellor for publication and distribution, This latter dignitary disobeyed the order of his ehief, who issued the document divect, and since that hour there has been a strong agitation against him, despite his erudition und years of service as head of Templars in the Dominion. Apart from his denunciation of idle show and a_protest against engrafting the Red Cross on asystem which he contends should_bo wholly Christian, the Superior Grand Master considers that in the establish- ment of preceptories in Australia the Cana- dians needlessly appointed the Prince of Wales as head of the order in England. But from appearances it would scom that the vot- cran has avoused a hornet’s nest among tho eraft who dosiro his rotiroment, to give pluvo to some younger oficial with American ideas on the brain, And in this respect the Su- preme Grand Master should oblige his con- stituents, inasmuch e has enjoyed a full measure of Masonic honors, and the ad vitam prineiple enjoys no favors With people aspiv ng to enforcement of rotation in ofitee, st g i3 PEPPERMINT DROPS.
