FETED ITS HONORED LEADER, Nebraska Loyal Lezion Feasts with Oom- mander-in-0.iof Hayes. PLEASANT MEETING OF GRAY BEARDS. Personnel and Banguet Throng Response to t Toast—Other Genoral Hayos' W atures. Midsummer banauets as a rule are inclined to be somewhat tedious and commonplace, due possibly to the weather and the thousand and ono distractions which usually obtain in citles at tho height of tho summer season. But the banquet given last evening at the Omaha club in honor of (ienaral Rutherford B. Hayes, commander-in-chisf of the Loyal Legion of the Unitou States, by the No- braska commandery of that famous military orgauization, was a delightful exception to the banquots given In thoe dog days. Along tho L-formed tablo gray beards and gray hairs largoly predominated. Age had marked with his fingor nearly all the mom bers of tho order present, and it was liko looking down a long vista of years to gaze in the faces of tho guosts assembled to pay proper tribute to one of the living ex-presi- dents of the Urited Statos, and what 1s still dearer to the average Legionite's heart, their worthy commander-in-chief, the successor to one of tho heroes the war, General Phil Bheridan, It was a distinguished gathering for thers were presont men famous in the civil and military lifo of tho nation and in its persou nel was very reminiscent of the *Old Guard’’ of the days of the Little Corporal, In the midst of this assemblago ono head showed whiter than the rest, one beard scomed to have been touched by the Frost King, moro harshiy than the rest--it was that of the ex-president of the repunlic. Yet thore wero fow lines of carking caro around the doep olue oves, sheltered oy shaggy brows of gray, and he looked at peace with all the world! Life has evidently treated him with pleasing consideration, and be was the counterpart of the ideal man por- trayed by Jerome K. Joromo, “a figure staud- Ang out against world weariness.” There was little attempt at lavish floral display along the banquet board. Here and there a rose bowl swod filled with flowers while an epegne or two gave additional color to the L-shapod mahogony. Tio bewuty of tho collution was in the ménu which told its own story in the following manner: en Sherry. rench Peas, Chateau Lafite 174 Fillet of Beef ded wn I Porrier Jouet, Tomatoes with Mayonnaise. Raspberries and Croan, Ch Crackers. Cafo ois. After the rasberries and cream had been concluded and the cigars were lighted Major J. W. Paddock, the tall poplar of the Pappio, by virtue of his position as commander of thé Nebraska commandery, assumed the toast- master’s prerogatives and.said in boginning the flow of reason : “Companions, bofore proceeding to tho bet- ter and more pleasing part of the entertain- ment, 1 beg leave to tell you that I re- ceived a letter from the recorder-in-chief in which ho said: ‘Tam glad to know you are going to accord to the commander-in-chief card due him, for ho is worthy of it Companions, during my tion with e Loval Legion I have had pleasant duties ‘o perform, but I have never had a more {»luanam duty to emact than to oxtend a indly welcome to our distinguished and hon- orable guest, & former president of the United Btates but now commander- hief of the military order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. [ therefore call upon Lioutenant N. Harwood to formulato an address of welcome, Lieutenant N. Harwood: General Haves, An benalf of the Loyal Legion of this state it 1s my pleasing duty to welcome you to this young and vigorous commonwealth, and its metropolis. If you may remember the great American desert as porirayed in the carly geographies, I trust you have noticed that this 1s a fiction, as you see it in this season of bloom. 1 trust you may take away ‘with vou pieasant recollections of a million of people who now live on what was then the great American desert. But ihere are othor reasons why we honor you, general—bocause ou are ‘one of Amorica’s uncrowned ings, ~and tho honor came to you at o moment when harshness and bitterness covered the land. It is too early to speal of that momorable epoch—wo «will let the future take caroof that. Butthe world does say that you guve the public a pure administration, and that after four years you laid down ' that_power which was vested in you untarnished. You havegiven the ‘world a noble exawple of what the American citizen should be. You now come to us ripo ‘with experience and with years; you mcet mot here democracic foes nor republican al- lies, but comrades who in the hour of need served thoir county well. And I say to you, God speed. I proposo the health of the com’ mander-in-chief.” ‘This tonst was drank standing. General Hayes in responding sai sire to express my warm appreciation of ! welcome. Various circumstances have made it impossible for me to make suitablo preparation to speas to you. One who has been accustomed to speak as I have boen on tho spur of tha moment, upon many occasions finds 1t very hard to so formulate his words tofit the case. While Conrade Har- wood was speaking, I was reminded of what John Quincy Adams wrote 1 his diavy, when he was called upon to lay the corner stone of an astrony mical observatory in Cincinnati, Travel was very different then from now and the journoy toCincinnati rough. Spoeches of wolcomo were made by brilliant clergy- men and lawyers along the route, aud again and again he wrote in his diary that ho re- gretted ho could not equul the speeches that were made en tour. At Lebanon, O., tho end came. The famous Tom Corbin wolcomed him in a brilliant ~effort and John Quincy Adams said that he could not answer that speech, that it was beyond him. And that is the way I feel tonight.” I regret that I cannot answer the words that Comrade Hardwood has pronounced. Still 1t was very pleasant and none of us will do- nrb‘u pleasant things. Butin this organiza- tion of ours we can talk as one man to an- other, and I feel that what I may say will be rogarded as the talk ot a friend to friends. Still John Quin Adams lived in ~~a differont epoch than ours. He was not wrought _with the storm and stross of vears, Nor did he drink from th mo canteen as we havo dono, to say nothing sbout tho contents of that same cauteen, laughter|, nor did he sleep under the same lanket as we have done. These are fine phrases, probably, but they go to our hearts ; they touch them beniguanily. But you want to know somothing of the order, possibly, which is becoming so biographical, Ho sketched the story in o eapid manner, drawing & picture of tho battle-scarred voteran who submitted gracefully to threo amputations of his leg, tho last” time remarlk: fng to the doctor to cut it short enough, olse the noxt time the log would have to be taken ©Off just below the Adam's apple, Returning to the matter in interest he said fu substance: We wear these little buttous In our buttonholes for it means a letter of in- troduction to very many clever follows every where. ButI hopo you have found it as 1 have. I make ita point to speak to these men who wear the buttons, unless tnoy are 100 far off, and then we exchange stories as comrades should. ‘These buttons conrect us with Lincoln. Oh! that nume will never sink while écho lives in air! There was an Aga- wemnon, but there was no such man s Liucoln! He was our commauder-iu- chief! After his tribute to Lincoln he sketched rapidly the scenery of Bermuda and its en- vironments sud incidentally told a story mbout Mark Twain, who was in the city, and was 30 disconsolate that he was a chower of tobacco and couldn’t spit because of the clean- liness of the streets. Closing, ho sald: *And 0, my friends, I can only say your lot is hap- pily east in Omaba. You are good fellows, snd I am proud to be linke1 with you in the Mes of comradeship, Today I haveseen your beautiful cit, nd must say it is & giaat in snteroriso and has a magnificent future, I pongratulato you cn the place that 1s your home.

The Effect of the Bec Flyer in the Towna West of Omaha. “Tnere goes Tu Bek flyor,” ejaculates a sleopy Fremonter at 4:10 Iast Sunday morn ingand jumps out of bed to see tho great train thunder into the depot. *I wonder,” he continues, “what Tis Brz will do next? This town {s forty-nine miles from Omaha and that Bee is hero already, and they say that less than an hour ago it was on tho bress in that great bix building of theirs. If T didu’t believo in gitting up and gitting, I don't think Twould believo that sucha thing could be ac- complished. Woll, did you ever!

More than twelve hurdred people there read it overy day and on Sunday the number is greatly in oxcoss. Tho Flyer continuos to Grand Islund, and Tur Bek is distributed in thab thriving city at 7:10 in the moruing! There is no paper delivered in Grand Island on Sunday morning except Tue Brs! There is no other outside paper read there on Sunday morning excopt Tur Bee. No outsido paper reaches Grand Island bafors the afternoon. Consequently, the people of that city have no uso for a paper which comes when tho news is old. That is the fate of Tir: Bee's alleged rivals, Tuk Bex always advances. TiE Ber's rivals do not advance. Thoy go 1n the opposite direction. They do not want fast crains, They want ox-teams. Thoy are progressive in the sense that the crab 1s progressive.

New Yonk, July 6.—The Atlas line steamer Alvena, which arrived here from Woest In- dian ports, bring some iuteresting Haytian news, The Alveaa left Jeramie, June 20,and there were tuen indications that the black re- public would soon be the scene of another bloody rebellion. $So strong is the opposition to Hippolyte that the outbreak is apt to occur at any momeut. Mauy residents are so fear- fur'of the imponding iusurrection that they are leaving in all haste. There bave been no oxecutions by Hippolyte's soldiers since the killing of the six meu some time ago. e He Followed Bad Advice. Arcmisoy,Kan., July 6,—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee |—Henry Benuett of Jewell county is the victim of bad advice from his alliance friends. A short time ayo his farm was sold under a decroo of mortgage foro- closure. The new owner installed a tenant, whereupon White Caps appeared and dis- possessed him, restoring Beunett to posses- sion. The sheriff evicted Beunett, and the new owner rentod the place to ono D. C. Clustor. Cluster took possession last weok and again Bennett appeared. Taking ad- vantage of Ciuster's temporary absence he broke opeu the house and wentin.

Ryan & Walsh's Case to be Considered by the Commissioners. There is now a dars possibility that the famous case of Ryan & Walsh against Doug- las county will not reach the supreme court. As overybody knows, Ryan & Walsh were the county hospital contractors. The build- ing was completed, and when turned over to tho county there was a claim of 87,000 that Douglas county would not pay. This amount included a lot of extras for which the county claimed it was in no wiso holden. Ryan & Walsh said the county had to pay, and at once hired Cown & McHugh to prosecute, County Attorney Mahoney was willing to admit an indobtodness of $25,000 on the orig- inal contract, but would not allow one dollar for extras. The case wont into court and the county won, Last week the contractors, through their lawyers, prepared their record and got everything in readiness to carry the case to the supremo court for adjudication, but a halt was callod yestorday and a settlement is pending. The county commissioners were to have held a special session last evening, at which General Cowin was to have appeared to sug- gost o sottlement upon behalf ot Ryan & Walsh. At alate hour in the afternoon ho received a telogram from Cleveland, O., announcing the death of his mother. He im- mediately departed for the east, and no steps looking to a settlement of the litigation will be taken until he returns. — - THEISM AND PANTHEISM, Dr. Patton Talks ¢ the Religious Fight of Today. w Yonr, July 6.—The Rev. Dr. Francis L. Patton, president of Princeton college, will preach each Sunday in the Central Pres- byterian church in this city. He occupied the pulpit there for the first tive yesterday morning. He said, in part: “There is much inclination today toward a materializing sen- timent. Men who deal with the body and who take cognizance only of material matters are likely to overlook the mind. The crucical question is not of the existence of the mind, but whether mind is all one great whole, or do men have separate minds. In other woras, the fight today is not betwoen atheism and gion, but between theism and pantheism. There is no excuse for men who doubt be- causo they only seo and do not think. We have only five senses. Suppose we had but one. Wa should then only perceive one-fifth of what we now perceive, Suppose we bad ten senses. Then we could perceive twico As much as we do now. When we are en- tirely outside of ourseives, and clothed with divino perception, we shall see all. In view of the small insight we have into affairs it is not well for men to hold that an argument should be positively demonstrative. There are men who think they can take Curist as an infallible authority when what He says pieases them, but who doubt Him when~ what He says is disagreeable. Such men are not consistent men.’ = DEATH OF A WEALTHY MISER. He Expires in a Hovel Gras Violin and Gold. Sax Jose, Cal, July 6.—Prof. Herman Kittinger, at one time a_famous violinist and an erudite educator on the Pacific coast, died yesterday in a mean Little shanty av 44 Col- fax strect. Although worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and with 32,000 in gold coin hidden in the bedclothes beneath him, he would not spend a cent for medicine and for weeks he had absoiutely starved. He was eighty years old and came here sixty years ago with a Stradivarius viclin that he often refused a fortune for. This violin and his writiags of books speedily made him famous. He was the uuthor of a number of prose works and poems, an elementary his- tory of the world and numerous text books on free thought. The old man’s violin when founa was in his right arm, clasped to his breast, while his left hand was buried be- neath the soiled bed linon and clutched the gold treasure, the hoarding of which cost him his life. The dead man has a brother, John W. Kit- tinger, living heve who is one of the wealth- iest ranch owners in the state. Ho says that Hermann many years ago was a professor in university. The deceased has also six grown sons. One isa teacher of music in Berne, Switzerland, and another is amerchant at Galena, Il When the news of the old man’s death was madoe known two fiery bulldogs that he kept in his yard had to be killed before the coroner could get in his house. The dead man's rolatives aro overrunning the place, despite the efforts of tho police. and with hammer, axe and spado aro ran- sacking the house high and low and also digging up the garden in search of buried treasure. Although the old miser possessed many houses and lots, thus far not a deed to one of them has been found nor anythiug ex- cepting his violir, books and the $2,000 in ®old in his bed. Twelve years ago Kittinger drove his wife and children away because he said they were costing him too much to feed and clothe. ing His P — MADE HI1M MARRY HER. A Beautiful Girl Follows Her Faith. less Lover Across the Sea. HiGuraxp Fares, N. Y., July 6.—A well- dressed man and a voung lady of probably twenty-six came here and consulted Justice Carpenter a few days ago. The man said he was the lawyer of the young woman, whose name was Marie Richards, and that she had beea deserted by her lover, Lieo Graber, who, she belioved, was then stayiog in Highland Falls, Four years ago the girl met Grabor in the village in which they both lived, in Al- sace, Germany, and she becamo his accepted sweetheart. Graber was eulisted in the Ger- man army ana was ordered to Africa. Be- fore ho went ho gave sad received from Mario pledges of fidelity. When his term of service expired, the young soldier returned to his na- tive village, found his Marie to bo the pretti- est woman in the village, and, Marie says, he scemed to love her more than ever. Then came a change. He became less affectionate and his visits less frequent, and she finally learned that he had taken a steamer for Now York. Sho also took passage for New York. ho met the attorney referred to. He be- camo interested in the case and ascertained that Lao would receive money from his former home. Upon inguiry at the banking house of Lazard Freres & Co. of Wall street, it was learncd that he had requested that a_draft which the banking house had received be for- warded to Highland Falls, Justice Carpenter issuod a warrant for tho arrest of Leo. Ho was found at West Point, where he had secured emplovment in the cadot mess hull. He was taken to Highland Falls, whero he was confronted by the girl. She implored him, with tears streaming down her cheeks, to redeem his repeated promises. Graber at first was sullen aud unmoved, but wheu the girl talked to him of old times he re- lented and atoned for bis misdeeds by marry- ing her at once. The cercmony was per- formed by Justice Carpenter. ‘The couple took a train for New York, where, it 1s said, the bride will estaolish her husband ia busi- ness, us sho has considerable property. s PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS, .

The proper nanagement of the party requires it and Mr. Quay, moro than any other man in the republican ranks of Penusylvania, fills this position. “Heis & shrewd poltician and that, I think, is the most that can truthfully be said of him.

CHINAMEN 1N JAVA, Mr. John Schmedlor, who has been o resi dont of the island of Java for the past feur- toon years, and who is now visiting this country for the first time, says that thoy bave ‘a million Chinamen in the island, Naturally thoy consume large quantities of opium, and from this bad hadit of the Mon- golian brothor, the govornment there derives @ handsome revenue, for it keeps control of the trado in the drug. Every yoar the right to doal in it is sold to the highast biddor, and during the next twelve months only those to whom the contract is let are pormitted to keep it in stock, The purchaser of this privilege is invariably a Chinaman, Very fow of those Chinamen are laborers, and the majority of them aro small shop keepers. In every town thoy have their own quarters and are not pormitted to live in the snction occupiod by the whites. Many of them conduct small farms which aro lonsed to them by the government after the style of the opium contracts, The manual laboris done by the Malays, a diminutive, docilo peoplo who work hard for from 10 to 15 cents per day. Mr. Schmiedler 15 a_member of a large sugar firm in Java and his ooject in coming 10 this country was to negotiato for the dis- posal of their products to_rofinories here.

SON. ‘ooloy, A. i, S S THEY ARE ONE Board of Trade Formally Absorbs the Grain Exch A meeting of the board of trade was held yesterday afternoon to hear a report of the directors rogarding tho plan of admitting the grain men to membership. About a dozou members woro present, but others dropped in later. Tho socrotary read the roport, and followed it with a speech explaining tho sit- uation. The president also spoke on the uecessity of uniting the grain and produce exchange and the board of trade. Colonel Chase raised an objection as to tho mothod of taking 1 tho grain men, and wanted to know why they should not be compelled to como in the samo as other mem- bers. Another momber was afraid that other bodies of men would et togethor and say, “You iust take us in, too, as we repre- sent some line of business." The president explained that it would bo a good thing if new blood would come into tho board. Colonel Chase then tried to explain _sone- thing about the proposed move, but as ho had been misinformed as to the main question at issue another member had to put him on tho right track. Major Wheeler bore down quite hard on members who do not attend the meetings. Mr. Willis retorted that it did not do much Rood for the membars to attend tho meetings, as they did not get anything out of it, but that if there were any excursions to be tuken it always fell to the lot of the directors to go. Jim Stevhenson maae a flowery speech censuring the non-attending members of tho board. Chase made another speech at this point, explaining the excursions which ho had taken for the board during tho past eight years. Mr. White of Plattsmouth remarked that it was a poor time to call up such matters as the atterdanco of members, but that tho question was whether the board wanted the co-operation of the grain men. After another half hours’ discussion the bourd voted to accept the report and approve the action of the directors admitting the grain men. In the evening the grain men met at the board of trade rooms and an opportunity was given them to sign applications for member- ship to tho board, or for trading privileges on the board. Tho following applied for membership: C. H. Fowler, James Walsh, E. P, Peck, A. B. Jaguith, F. C. Swartz, C.T. Brown, Bernard Towler and J. A. Connor. The following appliod for trading leges: George C. Cockrell, David 1. Ed E. Elliott, C. H. Toncray. The Exchange then mot for the purpose of recommending parties to represent the grain interests in tho various positions promised them by the board of trado. As & result A. B. Jaquith and F. C. Swartz were named for the mewbers of tho grain committeo. For committeo on arbitration: A Walsh, Bryan, Jaquith, Swartz, Chr Committes on appeals:' Mossrs. Peck, Con- nor, Brown, Harris aud Fowler.

The claims made by friends horo that the South Omaha market is the best in the west is corroborated on every side, but by nono more conclusively than by our rivals, Tho Kansas City Drovers Journal of Inst Tues- day gives the whole matter away when it says that “Omaha knows where to got cattlo when she runs short. Tiwenty-throo cars weut out from hore last night.” A botter compliment, to our market could not be paid than is found in that sentence. When cattle can be bonght in Kansas City and shipped to this market with an additional $20 added in freight, it simply means that our market is fully $30 a car higher than Kansas City's market. Again the same paper say Any man 10 tho world can bring his stock to the Kansas stockyards, be hisown salesman and do- without payine acent to any commission The stockyards charges havo no con- noction with commission merchants.” This, too, is true in its fullest senso as to South Omaha, as every man who over tried it can testify.
