THE CITY'S * SOCIAL ~ SIDE. Planning for the Usual Summer Hegeira THE CRAZE FOR SOUVENIR SPOONS, A Bachelor Dinner to Miss Orchard— j The Peerless Clul's May Party Opening of the College of Fine Arts. STAR GAZING Frank Chaffee, "Twas the very last crush of the sos ; And gorgeous as such affairs are. 3 Marjorie and I had wanaered i To the lawn to look up at a star, At least Marjorie gazod at the star, And wondered just what it might bo, But Lcould only gaze on Marjorie, The brightest of all stars to me. 1 Then speaks the radiant beauty, ) With dreamy eyes fixed afar. 1 wonder, Juck; are there people g At all like us on that start Are there girls who have waited a soason, With a dear, clumsy fellow near, Just dying to nave him “say something," Aud he just stupid with fear And then, however 1t happened I never coutd clearly tel But cortain it is 1 “Said And into my arms ther thing," from the heaven above me, rie, gem without tlaw, As she wnispers, “Do you know, Jack, *eaa 1 really don't care a straw For thie very impossible people Who would live away off in a star." 5 The season of summer traveling, so near at hand, will give a new impetus to the spoon fad. So great has been the demand the past ¥ season for souvenir spoons that all the larger cities of the United States, as well as every city and town in Europe, with but few ex ceptions, mauufacture a spoon characteristic of the place or of some object of peculiar in- torest to the people of that place, ! Whilo in many places the spuous are found 1n toa sizes only, a number of the more ex teusive shops furmsh them in orange, sugar, coffee and tea sizes. Tho souvenir spoon of the District of Columbia comprises several designs, The George Washington has a medallion of the father of the country stamped in the bowl or on the top of the han- dle, the remainder of the spoon being per. fectly piain. The Martha Washincton is identical. The likenesses 1 both cases are suid to be exact, and it Is the favorite spoon with nearly all collectors. The white liouse spoon has a reprosenta- tion of the white house at the top of the han- dle. The details of the building are faith- fully reproduced, the shrubbery and foun- tain being accurately depictod. Below the picture in small letters are the words “Presi- dent’s House,” and arranged perpendicular down the romainder of the handle are the lottors of the city. Tho front of the handle is oxidized, while the vemamnder is bright finished. ~ Mt. Vernon spoon is simu- lgr, except that the picturo is the fome in which Washington died. Another Washington spoon hus a handlo formed in miniature of the national monu- ment 1 George Washington, twined from top to bottom with a vine of laurel, Within he bowl is a view of the dome and front of the capitol. The Philadelphia spoon has a handle formed of the letters of the city, slanting backward and resting on a narrow ribbon of silver. ‘The Buffalo spoon throws in relief Niagara Falls, the rapids flowing down the stem, which bears in light relief the name “Niag- ara." The Lynn, Mass,, spoon has a figure of Moll Pitcher, of whom the poet Whittier ‘wrote, at the top of the hanale, The Salem, Mass., spoon bas a figure of a witch on the' handle and three broomsticks crossed on the shaft, making a very pretty trophy. Thé Omana spoon has only appeared in ono style as yet, having engraved on the handle a picture of Tur Bee building, but a number of jewelers are plunuing surprises for the fall trade. The Chicago spoon is shown m a va riety of pretty designs. Thev are or- namented with the world’s fair buildings . and now and then you run across one witt n Jiew of Lake Michigan on it ational spoons, which refer to America 2 not to any one city in particular, are especially designed for forcign visitors. Among them are the Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, etc. A likeness of the character s stamped toward the top of the handle. Under the bust of Washington is a sword and belt, denoting his willingness to fight: under that of Lincoln are two broken shackles, denoting the emancipation of tho slaves, and under that of Grant, a sword ana spray of waves crossed, denoting greatness in war and peace. In tho conter of the han. dle, depicted on a double-furled ribbon, are, rospectively, I'ather of His Country, Savior of His Country and Defender of His Coun- try. Under that of Sherman the American flag is twined around the remainder of the hanale. Among the romantic subjects prefer- ence is shown for the Evangehine—bearing a picture of Longfellow’s heroine in reliof at the top of tho handle, and tor the Priscilla, which plctures on the handle the Puritan maid entering tho house of prayer, upoun the door of which is the legend: *1.ord, have mercy on us.” ‘The remainder of the handle is formed of twigs and reeds, twined about J with a furling ribbon, bearing the name, Priscilla, he spoon of Eneland bears on its handle a full-blown rose; that of Scotland the this- tle; that of Hollaud a windmill. Of the indi- vidual cities the Munich spoon shows the pic- ture of & Munich child; that of Awmsterdam a wee sailboa uremborg the goose man fountain, Tbis fountain is in the form of a littlo man on his way to market with a goose und each arm. "From the beaks of the fowls issue the streams of water. The Flor. ence spoon shows a lily on the handle and uan- other on the bowl, anil the Milan spoon the noted cathedral, “The most interesting spoon to visitors abroad is the Oberammergnu. It repreduces the statue that King Ludwig of Bavaria gave to the village for the ploasire ho had experienced in seeing the Passion play ten years ago. This stature shows the Christ from tho cress fondly giving his moth- orin chiarge of his best “beloved disciple, “duhn. - Ou another part of tho spoon appeurs a picture of the Ammergau theater, Already the haute monde is preparing to migtate for the sunyner outing, Many houses show sigus of closing and soclety 18 scoming- 1y on the nove.

Mr, Louis Littlefield presided. ‘The openiug number was an instrumental olo by I’rof, Lessentin, which was followe by a comical pautomime produced under the airection of the Misses Cox and Jones, In torsporsed through the programme wero a ( nuuiber of artistically arramged tableaus THE which reflected much credit upon the Missos Kirby, Motieo and Bell, who had the matter in hana Among the entercsting features were a recitation by Annie Craig, entitled, “The Firem a4 quartetto number, *‘Come Where the Lillies Bloom,” by Miss Alice Thompson, Mrs. Louis Littlefield, Mrs. Fd Suith and Mr. Wallace: a recitation, *The Drunkard,” by Mrs. Bigelow; a song, “Anchored,” by Mr. Derrick: an essay on | the “History of Ancient Rulers,” by Miss Coo: instrumental solo, by Mr, Kelley, o tenor solo entitled, ““Teil Her How I Love Her," by Mr. W. J.'Wherry of the cathedral choir; and concluded by a negro sketeh by Iycoum talent, which was toth ludicrous and | tertaining. ' While all those who partici- pated in this enjoyable entertainment deserve high commendation for the able manner in which they acquitted themselves, Messrs Derrick und Wherry merit especial mention. Specimen of Class Work., The parlors of the Sacred Heart academy wore last Monday night the scene of the most interesting and most brililant exercise that has marked the progress of the scholas- tic year. The programme, though tastefully indicative of the choice and rango ot the wpics selected, is wholly inadequate to sup- ply an idea of the mode of intellectual treat- ment aud of verval delivery. No papers or notes were used — cultivated memories,stored, it would seem, with an endless supply of fo- liable facts, original reflections and vivid pictures, poured forth these treasures with easy elocution and in language at once nat- ural and polished. Twenty-two young laaies, members of the o class of '05, traced 'this picturesque “Swallows' Flight over England, France and Ttaly.” musical numbers, all furnished by the same class, were rendered with grace and spirit Rt Rev. Bishop Scannall of Omaha pre- sided, accompanied by his guest, it Lo Bishop Bonacum of Lincoin,especiaily invited for the ocension, and his sccretary, Rev, A Coloneri. These gentlemen expressed their satisfaction in two brief but very apprecia- tive addresses, which closed an evening where geography, history, literature and statisties had found appropriate places and lent varied charms Where every participant acquitted herself 50 admirably it is difticult to select any for distincuon, PROGIAMME, A Swallow's Flight Over Er and Italy Ductte—La 'l land.JFrance ente de la Courtille .

The Peerless Club Party. Thursday evening the Peerless club gave its closing party of the evening and in ali re- spects duplicated its former successes, A pleasant feature of the evening was the con- cert given by the Maudolin club, which was greatly enjoyed by the guests present.

A Reception to Bishop Scannell. A reception was tendered to Rt. Rov. Bishop Scanuell on Tuesday evening last by the laity St. Peter's parish at the elegant residence of Joln L. Miles, 518 South Twen- ty-sixth street, For the occasion the rooms were tastefully decorated with tiowers, palms and ferns and presented & wost inviting and cheorful appearance, The 200 persoms who called during the cvening to offer their respects to their new bishop were bighly pleased with the recep- tion, decorations and generous treatment ex- tended them by the host, Mr. Miles, to whom all voted thauks for an exceedingly pleasant evening. The gentlemen callers were intro- duced to bis reverence by . J. Mahoney and the ludies received n similar honor throagh the kindaess of Mrs. Fred Dellone, n lady whose accomplishments well fitted her for the uetive part assigned to her. The College of Fine Arts, With the opening of the College of Fine Arts, to take place tomorrow in the rooms of the society in Tur Brex building, art in Omaha will undoubtedly receive new life, Looked at from the most roseate standpoint possible, art in the metropolis of Nebraska bas not kept pace with the growth of the city or state. The comparatively fow lovers of the artistic have found that art is really a “plant of very slow growth,” and thev have despaired maby times at the little atteution paid to those thiugs which truthfully repre- sent the higher ideals of hfe While there are a nun of good pictures in the city of conuoisseurs , it Lias been their misfortune to allow the good nvuses to lsave the city because of their inability to purchuso “them, and the work of sustaining ' the reputation of Omaba 88 & coming centre of art has devolved upon # few wealthy men, notably among the number being Hon. George W. Linioger, to whom the art life of Omaha owes w very great deal, oo, James M Woolworth, Mr. J. N. H, Patrick, Mr. W. V., Morse, Mr. A, J. Poppleton, Mr, W. Loudon, have aiso been purchusers of good works by representative painters; but, tuken as a whole, the vitizens of Omaha who have been in a position to add to the local world of art, bave bad “other fish to fry,” to use & Lomely yet very expressive phrase. They have elt, presumably,that their business interests would not perniit this extravagance, this evi- dence may be of dillitanteism, and per conse- quenco thiey have kr\v'. aloof from the ‘art orazo,” as one well-inown gentleman ex- pressed it With the openivg of the school, however, a gradual chauge may be expectea, for an academy, suck rs this will aim 10 be, cauuot OMAHA DAII BEE INDA help but have an Influence for great good in the community. The gentleman who will have charge of the academy is Mr. J. Laurie Wallace, president of the Chicago Society of Artists, and one of the best known painters of the Garden City, 'ne new dircctor Is & young man, yet his work is of such a character as to warrant forgiveness from the public that he is young. By young is meant that he is still on this side of thirty-five, and has the best years, the most beneficial years, still be- fore him. Devoid of all mannerism, simplic- ity itself, yet he has about him the air of the artist, the distinguishing badge of the follow- er of pallette ana brush. There is somethine, two, iutensely romantic about him which would command attention anywhere, His hair is dark aud lustrous, and curls in that dreamy manner peculiar to tho Sicilian. His beard is worn very much as Boulanger wears his, and his eyes are lighted 1p now and then, when art matters are on the tapis, with the divine spark, or something very much akin to it. ith Millet and Couture, he thinks art schools are only for the fundamen- tal principles; that thewr edicts are conflicting, often misloading to the young artist who must often work out his own salvation. He looks upon Meissonier as the greatest technician of the age and echoes the truisms of a popular critic who says: *“If our artist stammer over his alphabet how shall he tell us of the great truths and bew ties or reveal tous the power of imagination Iu his mind the techuical side of art is its alpha. But this is not to be wondered at for Mr Wallace comes from the greatest technical school in the country, the Philadelphia Acad- emy of Fine arts, which for vears, has en- joved the honor of having tor its head Lit ty Tadd, one of the best known mstructors in the country. All that Mr. Wallace shows in his talk reflocts the thoroughness, the careful recognition of underlying prineiples which, as a rule, distinguish those edu- cated in that school. When the new director of the Omaha academy left his alma mater he was a member of the life class, a dis- tinguished honor, indeed, for they are but few who attain to this exalted place in the art life of the Quaker city I'he presence of such a man cannot help but be beneficial and bis work at the head of the academy of fine arts ought to greatly ad- vance the cause of art in Omaha, A Complimentary Concert. Mr. W. A. Derrick, the well lnown basso, hus been tendered a complimentary concer at the St. Mary's avenue Congregational church next Friday evening, the programme being as follows: PART I, Organ—Star Spangled Banner (with variations).. i W, T Quartette Violin tod “Choir.” ndl Wieniawski " Ry Hans Albert Buss Solo ... setvisyiBel WAL Derrick, veveeen.Selected Miss Daily. seted Soprano Solo Tenor Solo Babylon R0 Wherry, PART 1L Violin—7th Concerto ... .............Beriot Hans Albert Bass Solo \e Three Fishers rd.

In making a visit to Florida, a trip to Port Tampa should not be missed. This place, the principal pomnt of arrival and departure for stewmers plying be- tween this country and Cuba, lies far down the west coast of Florida upon the Gulf of Mexico, aud its situation is at once most picturesque and peculiar. The port, so called, is a small city lying out in Tampa bay, about a mile from shore, ond is reacted by a railroad built entirely upon trestle work—this owing to the fact that the water in the bay 1s comparatively shallow, and to afford vessels an opportunity to load and unload their cargoes. Hotels, stores, fr eht houses, wharves, ete., all stand upon piling, connected by bonrd waliks, and the place needs only some gondolas and a few banana s to ma nd edi tion of Veuice. A large hotel hero called *“The Inn" is of tho first class in accommoda- tlons and service as well as prices. You csalt ar in unlimited quantities while here, and are salted when you leave. At night you are lulled to sleep by the soft sob. bing of the sea and the music of the waves, while the murmurings of the waters sound for you a pleasant reveille at morn In these waters is found and caught the celebrated tarpon, called the silver king,owing to the silvery like coating of its scales, and to cateh and laud ono is like shooting a tiger in India or killing a grizzly bear in the Rocky mountains—the cvent of a life time. The fish 15 from five to six feet 1 length, weighs from one hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds, and is as full of activity as a dyna wite cartridge. The proper method of pro cedure in catehing him is to hire a boatman to row you down the shore a few miles, throw out your lino baited with a mullet, take your novel which you have brought with vou, sit down, read and wait. There need be no hurry or undue haste in the matter; a “dignified silence,” as Mr, Quay not long siuce remarked, is the proper thing under the circumstances, The firstday you may get no introduction to the tarpon, or the secoud “Tho third day, possibly, while in the midst of oxelting passage in 'your novel vou be come couscious of a sudden tightening of vour line, u hundred feet from your boat you See astir'in the water, and you know that your tarpon is hooked. ' Your book is dropped, tho line grasped, and the play is on, The curtain goes up with a rush, and there immediately follows a one act drama without @ parallel for realism; the sea the stage, the sky the background, tho gulf breezes the orchestra, and the tarpon the stac actor. Back and forth, up and down, at times towing the boat belind him, aud again throwing himself high in wr, his scales gloaming in the sunlight like burnished silver,the struggles of the tarpon to free him- self 'from the hook, which he has not only taken but swallowed, are cqualled ~only vy the cftorts of a of a bucking broncho on the Colorado plains to rid himself of an,obnoxious rider and saddle. By judicious handling of the fish you tire him'out and guide him into shallow water, whero your boatman gaffs him and lauds him panting in the bottom of the boat. The silver king is yours. You are victor in the grandest fight “ever made between man and fish and are now ready to return home and varrate your oxperience to adwiring listeners, Not far from here are the well known ever- glades of Florida, that mysterious, unsur- veyed, unexplored region, into the farthest recesses of which man never has penetrated and never can, Occupying the lowest part of the peninsula_of Florida, it is a terra in- cognity, @ ‘“darkest Africa,” a mghty morass, a sickly swamp izhabited by alliga- tors, Indians and snakes, and is said to bo 2 it @ sec also'the refuge of criminals who in its loath- some depths are as safe and secure from pur- suit asifon anothor planet.
