SOCIETY IN THE DOLDRUMS Lenten Reflections and Promises for the Easter Holidays, LITTLE DOING IN THE GAY WORLD The Hegira to Sonthern and Pacific Const Climates Commenced—Movements of Well Known Socl. oty People. My Angelico erstwhile in lace and pearls, Dancea, smiled and flirted all the wholo uight through, The maddest minx and merriest of eirls, With wicked flashes in hior eyes of blue; But now she's cast aside her gowns of gauzo, Retires each night whon early church vells chimos Tiends history, and thinks, and sews, because It is the proper thing in' Lenten time. - Sho goes each morning early to the church With eyes demure under her dotted veil, In frock subdued, like a brown bird a-perch, Prim, prewty, quiet and a trifle pale; © She ds the service from a little book, Whidpers a sileat prayer—ah, not in vain! . With such nder, sweet, retigious look, Jdenoath dim sunbeams through the chan- ,/ cel pane, Lovelior she looks than wien 'neath candles’ low Wo" strolled together from tho music's blare, When, as wo waltzed, T whispered to her low And fely the fragrance from her nut brown hair. T'hat saintly droop becomes hor pretty eyes, & She looks quite well in sparrow brown ar- rayed, For though 1t's all a dainty sacrifice Be sure her sackcloth gown is tailor made. Ah, Angolice! send up one little prayer Ior ono who stands without the iron gato Watching each day to see you passing thore, As orring ones on pitying angels wait. ay that your heart may kuow—as your cyes s00— “The one who's loved you through tho win ter's rime, Give but yourself, sweot little saint, to mo— "l'\\uulti be a gracious act in Lenten time. —KATE MASTERSON, «n In looking back over tho season that is dead and buried ove cannot help but recall the large number of afternoon receptions for *‘women only” and the few evening affairs to which both sexes wero biddon. The pro Lenten period was distinctlyy a woman's period, and if it had not been for two or three cotilicns and one or two big evening crushes tne men would not have known that there was such a thing as fashionable life 1n Omuha, Looked at from whatever side, the season has not been particularly gay. Many houses, known for delightful entertainmencs in the past, have been closed, and whether they will be openea after tho Baster days is very questionable, It would seem that all the entertaning had been done and spring finds the dowagers and belles planning trips abroad or to some lake or seaside resort, _whore health may be won back under sunny Mivs. ilu the beau monde the dances have been “ew and far between. The failure to reor- ganize the Assembly, the Cotiilon,the Happy Houvs club, was déplored, but thare was no one 1otake the initiative, and so these famous organizations of past scasons were allowed to expire. What the post- Lonten season will do for the daucing men and maids is past finding out. aster will bring fewer raarriages than at any lime within the memory of the oldost society man. In fact thiere is not ono fash- ionubie wedding announced to take place after the close of Lent, the girls in sociaty seémingly determinea’ upon having another season before turning their attention to tho sexigus problom ot marriage. The cynic will say that the girls are not alone responsible for this pleak outlook. but those who know the attractiveness, the brilliancy and the beauty of Omaha’s young women will take the romark for what it is worth, the vapor- ings of a pessimist. Society is in mourning for the Lenten period. othing more wild or exciting thun ® theater party, followed by a supper, a little good music or impromptu dancing is permis- sible. For the wowen thero arein addition such exclusive Lenten privileges as luncheon paruies, dressmaking matches and sewing civeles. Ploty with some assumes a pro- gressive form and quite voyal progress is made 1n every direction by any number of people in special drawing room cars, a dozon »f our leading @irls already having shakon ) /' lhgx‘n?clvus away from Omaha and the soclal whirl, “Then there are other girls who ave giving themselves up to reading cumbersome vol- umes or metaphysicai and psychological subjects: abstaining from bon bons and gar in their coffee; attending early service nd singing in volunteer choirs, i fact they are doing a thousand and one protty things ‘which are presumed to humble the spirit and m ortify the flesh to the dust.

Lawyer Blalr Still ngs the Belief That Thayer Is Governor, Owana, Nob,, March 12.—To Hon, Goorge H. Hastings, Attorney General of the State of Nebraska, Lincolo, Neb.: My Dear Sir— 1 bog leave to call your attention to a fact alroady well known to you, towit: That on the Gith day of May, 1501, the supreme court of Nebraska entered judgment in effect that John M. Thayer is the governor of Nebraska and_entitlea to hold sald office and ex- clusively exorcise tho duties and functions thereof for two years from the first Thurs day aftor the first Tuesday of January, 1891, and until his succesdor shall ve duly elected and qualified. On the same duy suid John M. Thayer took anew tho oath of oftice re quired by the constitution and gave a new bond iu the sum of £50,000, which was duly approved. ‘'hat judgment stands of record at the present time—has not been reversed nor set aside. [t is now the law of thls state, Notwithstanding all this, however, on Feb- ruary 8, last, Goveraor Thayer is said to havo lett his oftico and to have permitied James i, Boyd to enter into and occupy the place where the auties and functions of tho oftica of governor of tho stateure usually exercised and performed. ‘I'nis proceeding on his part, and on the part of James k. Hoyd, however, cannot consutute James k. Boyd the gover' nor ot the state of Nebrasia. For I submit for your candid considera tion that the governor of the state is a creaturo of tho constitution ana_the law and theofico cannot oo handed by a governor over Lo any person at the whim ‘or caprice of anyono whom the constitution and the law has clothed with the oftico. Whilo that judgment of oarsupreme court stands on record, unchanged and unveversed, as it vow stands and as jtmust stand until our own supreme court shatl chango tho recor John M. ‘Thayer is the conftitutional and lawful governor of the state, und beside him there can_ b no other—exeent st such timo or times aslhe sball beavsent from vhe state, ete., when the dutios of the ofico by virtuo of the provisions of the sumne constitu tion devolvo upon Thomas J. Majors, the lieutenant goveruor. If I am correct in this, my viaw of the situ- ation, th.n I respectfully suggest and submit at every department of the state govern- tis Lound to continuo to recognize Jon M. Thayer as the governor of the state and rofuso to vecoguize James I3 Boyd, Any other viow of the case, as it seoms to me, would recognize that any governor of tho stato might at will, and at auy time, abandon his oftice and appoint or substitute some one of his own choosing to exercise the duties aud perform the functions of ho oflice, and so override and set at naught the constitu- tion and the s and igoore Lhe solemn juagments of our supreme coupt. ‘b resuly is anarchy and legal chaos, 5 Nor cail it be suia in answen to this view that the supreme court of thegnited States has reversea the judgmont o our supreme court. Not until olticial notige.of such fact has been received by our supgawe court, and our supreme court hus uctgd theroon by changing its own recordycen such be tho fact. Our supreme court alano can furnish 10 our people offivial knowledge of any such reversal. 1t must come through the action of our court aud from no atheysource, The titio to the oftice of governor is found only in the records of our state, and when that title bas been in contestin our suvreme court the records of this cougtinione can dis- closo the titls to the offic 1 have auly certified copies'of the opinion and the dissenting opinion of the justices of tho supreme court of the, United bStates in the case, and from them I x.‘;n; that but four of the justices hold that tie adthission of the tervitory of Nebraska iutel:the union s a stite mado @ . citizen of tho United States of James .. Boyd. Kour is not a majority of the eight justices who sat at the hearing and wno participated in the opinfon—the decision of the case—Justics Bradley did not sit. at the hcaring, aud he dicd before the opinions were bunded down. 1 have a letter from tho clork of tho supremo court of the United States stating such to bo the facte. It is true that seven of the justices hold that Boyd’s unswer stated facts whicn, if true, were suthciont to constituto him i citizen of the United States aud that such facts weve sufticiently well ploaaed to requiro a reply, and that the demurrer to such answer should havo been overruled and not sustained by our supreme court. And the caso was remanded 1o bo proceedod with uc- cording to law. This allows a reply to bo filed and will set the case down for trial upon the issue joiued by the unswer und reply. As yet, however, no mandate has como to our court, and no action can or will bs taken by it until such time as the mandate shail be roceived. In the moautime Jonn M. Tnaver is tho governor of the stato—James k. Boyd is an intruder into the office,4s in contempt of court, and no department of state can lawfully recognize him even as the de facto goveruor, I beg you accept my best wishos and be- lieve mo to be and remuin faithfully yours, Josern H.

FOUND A SMALL LOOP HOLE| William Tippey's Attorneys Think They Oan Reloase Him on a Techuicality, JURISDICTION OF THE JUDGE QUESTIONED Clalm That Judge Gaslin Had No Right to Henr the Cnse as Ho lelonged In Amnother District—A New Precedent Sought, Liscory, Neb,, March 12.—[Special to Tne Brr.]—The ingenuity and legal acumen of the lawyers is subjected to a constant strain in order to dovise new pleas for tho purpose of saving their olients from punishment and securing new triuls from the supreme court. This statement is suggested by a case which was filed with the clork of the supreme court this weok, and which Assistant Attorney Goneral Somers was today engaged in brief ing. On the 21stof last November William Tippey was convicted of murder in the sec ond degree and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary from Saline county. The erime for which he is to be punished jvas com mitted on the 17th of that month, and he was arratgoed, tried, convicted and ssntenced on tho 21st, four days following. Popular ex- citoment ran high, and his conviction w secured while the jury sat within hearing of throats of lynebing from those In the com- munity over whom u proper sonse of justico had not yet resumed control. The point made by Tippoy's attorneys in their argument for a new tial is a novel ono in Nebraska jurisprudence, They claim that the trial was nulland void for the reason that it was held atn date after the regular date established by law for tho rogular tevm of court in Saline county. Tho regular fall terms of court for the Seventh distriet, in which Saline county is situated, for the year iS01 were fixed by law as follows: Saline county, September 15; Clay, November 10; Fillmore, November 24, all of these counties being in Judge Morris’ district. Ho held the term of court in Saline county which appears 0 bave been in session until October U, when a verbal adjournment was taken until No vember 17, “This was ono_woek later than the regular term to commence in Clay and one weck provious to tho time of its com mencemont in Fillinove. On Novemver 17, while Judge Morris was hotding court in Clay county, Judge Gaslin, whilo in an ac- commodating mood, assumed to hold a term of courtin Saline county, although that county was entively out of his district, and he was simply attempting to relieve hi brother judge of a press of business. Tippey was tried and convicted before Judge Gas- lin, whom he now claims had no jurisdiction. Ho alleges that chat term was heid without authority of lawand consequently its pro- ceedings wero void. Preparing for Arbor D; State Superintendent Goudy hins issued a circular ietter to all school superintendents in Nebraska, urging upon them tho im portance of a proper observance of Arbor day on the 22d of next month, Ha says: “1 sug gest and urge upon county and city superin tendents, teachers, paronts and pupils of the state that a part of Arborday bo devoted by the school to the pianting of trees, vin shrubs aud seeds, accompanying th with suc! ercises as may bo i i ¢in_their charact ing the school grounds and at the same time teaching lessons of beauty.’” Judge Borgelt's Condition. Speaking of Judge BorgelU's condition lato this afternoon his physicians say that no fur- ther unfavorable condition§ have presented themselves and the patient was resting easy. Ho has partially recovered tho use of his right arm which yesterday was paralyzed. and is avle to také ‘somo nourishmeat. His condition 1s_still considered ns estromely critical by the physicians, His danger lics 1n the fact that a part of the bullet is still lodged someywhere in the brain and that por- tions of that organ are yot oozing from ths fractured skull. Tho instances of the re- covery of persons from wounds of s0 sorious 2 neLIro are very rare, butin spite of ths fact tho fumily and friends of the wounded man are hopeful for tho best. An Editor Pleads His Own Case, ‘The mandamus case brought by J. D. Cal- houn, editor of the Lincoln Herald, to com- pel the city council to divide the various wards of the city into clection precinets in accordance with the provisions of the ordi- vance adonted last Decomber, camo up in Judge Hall's court today. Iditor Callioun appeared as his own atiorney, anu repre- sented to the court thal the city council had neglected and refused to muke the division contemplated by the ordinanco; that 1f that body was not_so ordered by tho court the clection on the 5th of the coming mouth could not bo held; and thut the ioterests of the city would be greatly damaged by the negloct of the council. The uttorney for the council sot up tho ploa that tho ordinance of last Deceinber was illegal by reason of the inter- lineation that had been mado in the instru- ment the day after it had passed the council. Tho case was continued until next Monday morning, when the logal battle will b re- newed with greater fury than ever. City Clerk May Relent, Tho controversy between City Clerk Van Duyn and the Kock Island ruwiroad people over the matter of tho signing the bonds issued by the city to '‘mia in the construction of that road into the city bids fairto be am: icably adjusted in o short time, The clerk has bitharto refused to sign the bonds ou the grounds that the mayor and city council in- structed the mayor und clerk 1o sign the | bouds by a resolution instead of an ordinance. He does not wish to appear as standing the way of the commercial intorcsts of the city and will thereforo recedo from his posi- tion and sign the bonds. Faithless Wife Arreste Mrs, Bello Wadsworth was arrosted at an early hour this morning on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Nellie Hitchcock charging her with adultery. The warrant was served at 4+ 0'clock this morning by two offlcers, who gained access to the house by the nid’ of a boy living there. Mrs. Wadsworth and her paramour were arrested and brought to tho station, where tuey gave bonds for their ap- pearanco Monday morning. The man gavo lils name ns Larry Carr. Somoe weeks since Mrs, Wadsworth had ber husband arrested three nights in succession for drunkeuness, and he asserted at tho time that bis arrest was simply a ruse on the part of his faithless wife to get him safely outof thewuy in order thut she might follow ber own inclinations for pleasure.

From an artistio polnt of view the curtain is of intri- cate desien, dolicately wrought out yot ampl > onounced in effect. The mellow tints contrasted with the stronger lights shown in the sky coloring shows the deft handiwork of the clever artist. The wator offects are probably the most worthy of favorablo comment and thoy are developed with a qn!m'ill transparency that at once holds and charms the auditor. The new cur- tain adds the tinishing touch to one of the finest theaters in America.
