THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER HE WAS A CONNOISSEUR, General Brooke Hoazes His Old Time Friend, Governor Page of Vermont. INAUGURATING THE SOCIAL SEASON Mr. and Mra. Harry Pretty Dancing Party Tt dings of the Mo Governor Pago of Vermont, who accom- panied Secretary of war Proctor's party on ) tour of the military posts in the depart ment of the Platte, was the victim of a prac- Mcal joke when n guest at Happy Hollow, which is beingtold in club circles with great mjoyment. General Brooko was selccted to make it pleasant for Governor Page during the lat- ter's visit to tho beautiful suburban home of Mr. J. N. H. Patrick, and during the stay of the war party in Omaha the son of Mars was the governor's Fidus Achates. It was Giovernor Page's first visit to the wost, and although a student of history he could not realize that there were no Indiauns on tho streots of the Gate City, nor buffaloos on the high platoaus to the wostward of the motropolis. Jn fact, everything was so new and strango 1o the representative of the Green Mountain stato, that he questioned whether there was such a thing as culturein the ‘“wild and wooly” section of the country which is de- pominated on the maps as west. Gonerul Brooko, knowing Governor Pago's doubts upon matters affecting the west's claims of refinement, determined to give tho excoutive of a down oast commouwealth somothing to thiuk about during the rest of his peregrinations throughout the country. When Secrotary Proctor's party was near- Ing Omaba from the north, General Brooke informed Governor Page that ho was to be tho guest of a good natured, old fashioned farmer (J. N. H. Patrick), who had made enough money to retire on. “We will no doubt be met at the station by Mr. Patrick,” said Genoral Brooke, “‘who will take us out to his home, called Happy Hollow, 1u a com- fortable farm wagon. Not a particularly swell wagon, but still good enough for us. “Now that I am on the subject of Mr. Pat- rick, T might say,”” continued the general, in his ‘mild mannered, thoughtful way, “that pur host-to-be is foud of art, and s farm house is stocked with pictures which he be- lieves ure real works of famous painters, but truly they are nothing but chromos, chenp pngravings and soveral Noss process picturcs. 1o has soveral pieces of statuary, 00, which ho believes are marble, but really th aro nothing but plaster pf paris, done by somo rank amateur who has palmod off his efforts as the worlk of some noted sculptor. “Of course Mr. Patrick’s bent is to be praised, for he loves to have his pictures ad mired." Governor Page quite understood and then Omaha was announced. The turnout which met the party covld hardly be called a comfortablo farm wagon, for 1t was Colonel Patrick’s crack coach-and- Tour, which astonishod even the residents of the Groen mountan stato during the coach- Ing tour a year or more ago, being one of tho handsomest veniclos ever' sven in that sec- tion of the country. Governor Pago” was surprised, of course, Who wouldw’t baye been with Goneral Brooke to prompt.! The drive to Happy Hollow trough tne crisp Soptember air was an additional oye- ppener to the man from Vermont. But when the quaint home of Colonel Patrick was reached, nestling amid tho trees, tho gov- prior's surprise was well uigh complete, General Brooke, in tno meantime, had puccesded in tellng Mr. Patrick the practical joke he was playing ou Page, and asking his co-operation, which was iustautly acceded to by the latter, and untl the de- noucment Colonel Patrick was a tiller of the B0il, with a penchant for art and fine horses, but'unablo to disguise the hay seod which flecked his hair. “Right smart place you have here, or. trick,” said Governor Page. Waal, T recken it bo a fairish place for a westorner,” said the host, picking his teeth with a straw . “*You aro somewhat of a connoissour inart, T understand,” Governor Pago patroniziugly said. “T be somewhat interosted in thom things," answered Colonel Patrick, and he left his guest to look after “the victuals.” Taking Governor Pago by the arm,Gene Brooke escorted the civic dignitary ‘through the rooms, which are beautiful in ‘their quipt arrangemont,tho wealth of canvasses by cele- brated artists, and their vich tapestries. Governor Page looked with cold, disdain- ful eyeunou what critics cousider Bier- stadt’s best effort, and remarked to the mili- tary man, “does have a curomo-like look, doest'Lit!" An exquisito oil by Pallouse was handled without gloves, figuratively speaking,and the tapostries word criticised is belug too wuch Jike crotonne, showing littlo art and less workmanshiy But tho groatest fun was had_overa gem by George Innes, **A Storm iu the Cutskills.” A group of cows occupies tho loft of the fore- ground, tho farm houso to the right. In tho middle’ distance is a valley whilo on tho horizon line the Catskills are secn, with & storm passing over tho top of tho mountains, the sceno of Rip Van Winkle's troubles. In light and shade, and delicato troatment, the picture 1s & poem. “Iho drawing of LHose cows is something frightful,” said Govarnor Page. “Vory bad indeed,” suggested Brooke, “But’ look at tho perspective,” said the gentleman from the Green Mountains, “Thore was nover such a sceuo in the Cats- Xills,” continued Page, *and a man who pur chases theso daubs for pictures deserves arceration 1 an asylum,” “You aro perfoctly right,” responded the goueral, “ho is truly a fit subject for the state’s caro.” Theu they came t) the staiuo of Gael by Baldi, a fanous Ltalian sculptor. Governor *age, remombering what Brooke hud told bim early in the day about the statuary tapped the fewale figure, but no hollow sound came forth. Instantly ho saw that tho marble was @ beautiful Carara, aud knowing much of the marbles of his state, saw that the departmental commander had been ‘“jol- Jyne" him. “General," man Patrick gun.” Tho uistinotive society event of the weok was tho murriage of Miss Nellio Mool Buros to Mr. Osgood T, Eastman Wednesday evoning at the residoace of the bride on Dodgo streot. 1t was one of the prettiest home weddings ever solemnized in the met Xopotis, & unique featurs of the nuptial core- mony being thesinging of tho wedding march from ‘“‘Lohengrin’ by tho bridesmaids and tho ushers. Mr. Copeland, baritoue of the First Methodist Episcopal’ church, and Mr. Tom Kelly, organist of the same, led tho pro- cession of ‘pretty bridesmaids and also the ing. Miss Dresser of La Fayetto, Ind., and Miss Ma' Burns sustaiued tho sopranos, whilo Miss Ella Bell gave color to the alto voloes. Thebride is and has been a great favorite In the exclusive circles of Omaha sooiety,and until her ongagement was announced 'was sought after for those graces of heart and mind which distinguish one woman from arother. Thoughtful and considerate to a degree, Miss Burns will be pleasantly re- ered even by the younger set which is W take the lead in soclety affairs ideal American girl. And sho never looked prottier than on her wod ding uight. There was just enough color in ber faco to reliove the monotouy of white, and this, coupled with the warmth of the congratulations, the presance of sehool friends and others at the ceremony, increased the joy of the occasion. Mr, Kastman, the groom, comes of a family of ministors, and every oue of them isa graduate of Amberst, which bas been the family college for genorations. He, however, has doparted from the beaten path and has one into trade iustead of oneof the pro- esslons. Ho s located in Chicago, whither he will take his bride. ‘Today Mr. and Mrs, Eastman are taking leave of the families at Mr. Burns' residence and tomorrow tney will leave for Chicago, sald Governor Page," if this is a farmer, 1 amasonof a socn Bs @ It is now thought THat the new Motropoli- tan club buildingeon Harney street will be completed about November 15, and_the open- Log will probably take place about December 1, although bad weather may materially alter | these conditions. The Omaha olub is gotting more crowded as the days shorten and the members aro longing for their new club house whioh eveybody hopes will_be built at Eighteenth and Douglas, The delay in closing the pur- chaso of the Davis property is due to several minor heirs. But this dificulty will doubt. less be overcome and ground will undoubt- edly be broken next spring for the handsom- est club house in the couatry. The members are determined to make the place second to none. Now that the grill room has been opened again in the Elks club, there is a notable im- provomont in the attendance. Old faces not seen in a year or more are coming back and tho French pool games at 5 o'clock are at- tracting lovers of that detightful sport. Club life in_this city has again awakened from its usual summer lethargy and the cluv doorways that have apparently yawned ull through the dog days have put on_ a smile of welcome as one m ber after another re- turns from the long vacation and crosses tho threshold to greot old friends or to make the acquaintance of now ones at the club. And pleasant times these aro, notwith- standing the fact that “‘Mr. Brown,” in his lotters to “A Young Mau About Town," prefers the summer season Ho says: “At the club how many priv- flewes does a man enjoy lingering in town! Every man in every club has three or four special aversions—mon who somenhow anuoy bim, as I have nodoubt but that you and I, Bob, are hated by some particular man, and for {hat uxcellont reason for which the poet disliked Dr. Foll—tho appearance of old Banquo, in the same place, in the same arm chair, reading _tho newspaper day after day and evening after evening; of Mr. Plodder threading among the coffee room tables and taking note of every man's dinner: of old General Hawkshaw, who makes that con- stant noise in tho club sneezing, coughing and blowing his nose—all these men, by their various defects or qualities, have driven me half mad at times, and 1 havo thought to myself, O, that I could go to tho club without seeing Banquo. Well, the summer arrives. The club is yourown. How_plansant it is! You can get Tur Bre daily and Sunday with- out a struggle (this is what Thack- cray would have said if ho had livod long enough) when' you dino it is not like dining in a streot dinnod by the tramp of whaiters _perpetually passing with clanking dishes of various odors and jostled by young men who look scowlingly down upon” your dinner as they pass with creaking boots. They aro all gono—you sit in & vast and agrooable apartment with twenty large serv- ants at your orders. If you were a duke with £1,000 & day you couldn’t bo better served. I'ioso men, having nothing elso to do, aro anxious to mako you happy. 1f you order a dish, tho chef himself will probably cook it. What mortal can ask more” All right, Mr. Brown, but that is rank selfishness, and you know it, and clubs were not designed exclusively for selfish men. Go to a hotel if this-is your ideal of comfort, ating the Notwithstanding the steady downpour of rain Friduy evening Mr. and Mrs. Harry T. McCormick may b said to have inauguratod the season_of social pleasures on that even- ing by their dancing party given in honor of Miss Bessio Morse of Chicago, at_ their resi- denco Eighteenth and Capitol avenue. The McCormick resicenco is beautifully adapted to the gaving of balls, receptions and other forms of social pleasures. Tho rooms aro large and wiry and open pleasantly. The interior is very suggestive of an old southorn mansion, one of those kind of houses which Tourgee describes in all of his novels of southern lifo. Evorywhere througnout tne house ovidences of refine- ment are to be seen. The bric-a-brac, the pictures, the furniture, everything 18 beauti- futly selected and it is a rard treat to como within the friendly atmospbere as a guest at the McCormick home, which, in_years past, echoed with so much joy and merriment, riday ovening tho interior of the house took on @ gala attire in honor of the occasion. Palmy in endless profusion changed the rooms into fairy bowers while the mantols wero beautifully decorated with roses. In the drawing room la Franco roses wore given prefercnce, in the library Marechil Neil roses abounded in profusion whilo the decp red papigauno roses took precedence in the tibrary. Tho orchestra was stationed at the foot of the swirway and was concealed by banks of palms and ferns. That necessary ad- junct to all dancing parties, seemngly, the punch bowl, was installedt in the sitting room, and its decoration was a work of art, smilax being twined about its rim, whilo forns and protty bunches of grapes gave color to the bowl: Dancing was indulged in in the parlor, which was canvased for the occasion, in the library and dining room, re- froshments being served throughout' the various rooms by dusky waiters. Mr. and Mrs. McCormick and” Miss Bessio Morse werd assisted in receiving by Miss Barlow of Colorado Springs.

[t is not unusual to see large audiences gather in Triity cathedral. Neither is it unusual to hear inspiring musio from its well trained choir whose reputation for good work is more than local, but it 1s be ques- toned if the cathedral ever held a larger audience, or its choir ever sang more inspir- ingly than on last Sunday evening on the occasion of tho Harvest Homo festival. It was a magmficent audience and a mag- nificent service, and one that has occasioned more favorable cemment than any ever before given there. The people gathered early and at 7:30 o'clock standing room was ata premium, if oue may be pardoned using a _theatricel term in this counection.” Hundreds were turned away, unablo to get farthor than the outer oor, 80 great was tho crusl that the choir had much dificulty in marching iu the pro- cession. “The programma was artistic in 1ts arrange- mont, showing the master hand of Mrs, Cot- ton, 'whose genius in this respect is well known. Of the concerted numbers, what greater variety could be had than in tuat wonderful creation of Rossin’'s “The Inflam- matus,” followea by tho lighter chorus, “Praise Ye tho fathor” (Gounod), and clos: ing with “The Heayens ave Telling,’ than which a_more inspiring chorus has never boen writton. The “Inflammatus” was notable for tho artistic rendition of the extremely high and diMcult solo by Mrs. Cotton and the splendid attacks and perfoct phrasing of the chorus. The opening lines ot the chorus, “None else can deliverus,” three times repeated, were sung with wonderful precision and ' force, fairly electrifying the audienco, and in the part where the soloist takes the obligato against the chorus, tho perfect training of tho choir was well exemplified, for thoy were as steady 0s & rock, a requisite that is abso- lutely nocessary, otherwise the work of the soloist 15 ruined. Of the soloists, Mrs. Cotton carried off the honors, as was fitting she should. Her solo, Faure's “Saucita Marie,” was admirably suited to hor voice and she sang it divinely. The violin obligato played by Hans Albert added much to its effectiveness. Mrs. Cot- ton's long vacation has beneiited her greatly. Hor voice has acquired yolume, and she sings with more intensity of feeling Mus. Moellor sang *‘sut the Lord is mind- ful.” from St. Paul, and did it exceedingly well, Sho has mado noticeable improvement in sustained effects of late. Mr. Wilking' § solo, ‘*“Jerusalem,” by Parker, brought out qualities 1n bls voica that ho hus not exhibited heretofore, notably in the volume and strength of tone. Espe- cinlly wus this noticeable in the recitative, “Behold Thy King,” which was given with excollent dramatic offect Mr, Lumbard’s solo, “Now heaven in full- est glory,” from the “Creation,” was & dis- tinot feature of the service. Mr. Butler's work on the organ was excel- loat. His solo, Batuste's “Offertory i D Minor,”" being particularly noteworthy. The service was brought to a couclusion b, that grand chorus, “Tho Heayens are Tol ing," aod a most effective finalo it was. Right here wo woula suggest to Mrs. Cotton and Dean Gardner that 8 musical service like the above given ouce & month would add & churoh and would b§ much appreciated by the public generally.’ It is done a great deal in the east, and there is no reason why it ean- not be dond here, especinily when wa have a choir so well equipped for it as Trinity.
