NTY FAITHFUL FEASTED AT THE MILLARD Grand Mouna Spread by Tangiet's Nobles Before Their ta from Afar OfN— E & That Made the Day Pass Swiftly Away Es Selamu Aulickum. Mighty is Allah (praiscs be to his name) and of the clect are his children of the Unwritten Law. With last nizht's closing the tents of the Moslems who have been n the oasis of Omaha wote struck and the pilgrims are preparing to journoy hence after their so- journ at thoe shrine of the Star and Crescent erected for 1802 in the western hemisnhere. Thoe camels are froighted and today the sons of the desert will journey back to their sov- eral oases, carrying with them the prayers of the faithful. The magnificont mouna provided for the ropresentatives of thy imperial council at the caravansury known among the profane as the Millard, wus in keeping with the hos- pitality of the nobility of Tangier. 1t was thoroughly Arabic and the orange and tho black floated over the heads of the sharcofs and shiok who sat about the board, in costume that would bave delichted the pro- phet of the true faith (honored be his name). There were dates and pulms in miniature from the warm desercs of the occident and flowers that gave forth a smell like unto fronkincence and myrrh that ornamented tho boards before tvhich the ancients sat in conclave to discuss the viands provided by the faittful of the oasis of Omuha. And to give color to the scene from an fn- terior chamber there floated the sweet musiv of the harp, the zither and the horn in sensu- ous cadences, which brigbtened the wise men ns they sat drinking the milk and eating of the houney. And it was an occasion memor- able. Spread a Feast Before Them. At tho head of the table central sat Ehureef Henry C. Akin, who spoke in liquid phrase and in exceeding happy manner, when welcoming au illustrious sir who had joined bis brethren in ceiebratiug the closiug of the “great talk” for the bencfit of human- aty, for omuipotent is Allab, and his servant 15 Mohammed O true believers, perform your contracts.

When the true drink of tre Moslem was reached, Shareef Akin, in beautiful words which reflected the heart of the wise man, welcomod those of the faith {0 the hospitable board and as ho was assigned the duty of an- nouncing spenkers, first presented High Shareffl Sam Briggs, who said, in substance, that he had hoped at the end of his oficial carcor to cujoy the distinetion of bewg & mouarch retired from business, but without warning he was shot luto tho full blazonry of a ban quet board and expected to pay_ proper triv- ute to the star occasion 1 the history of the surine in the western world. He smd that the Arabic grasp of good fellowship and hos- pitality had been extended 1n manner onental and his heart fafled to give forth all in cor.tained in recoguition of whut the nobles of tho onsis of Omaba had done for the shrine. While we note our origin from the original Bektash, saia Noble Briggs, the true mark of genuine hospitality has been given the order by the westeru world, sud here we may Lope to erect a more gracious order than ever existed under the skies of the orient, for Allan is Allab, whother here or elsewhere., bm the Hend of the Or Imperial Potentate W, B. Melish was then thrust to the front and his tulk was received with warm demons rations like unto the ancient custom by clapping of hands. Noble Melish said that more thax ever the occasion suggested L0 him the lines of the poot, *“I'he friends thou hast and thew adoption tried, grapple them to thy heart with hooks of steel.”” He said it was an honor to be elected to preside over the imperial council composed, as it was, of good fellows, n who had reacbed tho heights of Knights Pemplarism and Scottish Rite Masonry, “T'rue nobillty, md he, ‘48 not found along tho lines of wedlth alove, but aloug the lines of penury as well, and our order should 80 direct its course that amoug all the world our charity stould be kuown and recog- nized. Marcus Aurelius was observed once writing upon the wall of his room. When asked what ho was doing he replied that he was writing messages for thoss that wore to ccme after. This, my brethren, should be our mission and the Mystic Shrine should take a place umong the secrot socicties of the world, for benind it 1s equality, good fellowship uad cuarity, o trinity of virtues.” Tne speaker then in a few graceful words presented a beuutiful shrine jowel to Novle Gustavo Anderson of the oasis of Omaha on ebalf of the members of Taugier tewple, “But before coucluding,” said Noole Mii- fsh, I want to read o sentiment which o beautiful woman gave me, & woman who in her wuy is Just a8 much iuterested in the doings of knights templarism and the shrine @s her husbaud, a sentimeat which she thought ought 1o brovuil aniouk the faithful,” aud tho noble read from Oliver Wendell Holmes this exquisito bit of verso: How can 1 tell you.

WHAT THE LADIES ENJOYED. Reception, Drive to Fort Omaha, and a De- lightfal Concert. Ono of the pleasantest features of Omaha's great Shrino meeting has basn the presence of hundreds of ladies, wives sisters and duughters of the nobles and the knights, and to tho lasting cradit of Tangier temple be 1t recorded that in making up s program of entertainment ample provision was made for the members of tho fair sex who added so much graco and loveliuess to this interesting occasion. Anotner informal but delighttully cordial reception was tendered the visiting laaies at the Paxton parlors from 3 to 5 yesterduy afternoon. Mrs, Juage Strawn and the Jadies of tho Tangler nobles gave the visitors a warm-hearted, western welcome. At 5 o'clook the tally-hos and coaches were brought to the aoor, and the entire party was driven to Fort Omaha. General Brooke had ordered an earlv dress parade fov tho especini benefit of the strangers, and to mauy of the castcrn visitors it wis a novel as well as an inepiriting sight. Of course the compuny of Sioux [ndiaus and thoe tepees nc- cupied by their families came in for a goodly share of interested attention. I'or the evening a concort was planned at the Paxton, and Mr, Whitney Mockridge and Miss Grace Almy of Chicago were cngaged to provide the program. They were assisted by Mlss Edith Wagoner of tais city. The spacious parlors wero thronged with ladies and, despite the banguet’ at the Millard there was a libaral sprinkling of gentiemen in evening dress and scarlet fez, Tho program was opaned by Mr. Mock- ridge, an Omaha fuvorite, who told an imag inury maiden 10 the mostsweetly sentimental tones that he was waitini to breathe bis love into her cars. No maid of ordinary suscep- tibility could have resisted the pleading of so romantically exquisito & tenor, and the andignce gavo Lhe young mau tue encourage ment of its approval. Miss Wagonor's taper fingers played with quick and deft touch_a pretty harmony of Jucob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn's, and won @ ripple of well bred applause. When Miss Almy dawnea upon the com- pany iu the glory of blonde beauty, a gen- erous but symmetrical igurc and a har dsome evening gown, & mwurmur of admiration swept through the parlor and along the cor- ridors und out upon the balcony. Miss Alm has a fine soprano of rather unusual strength and fullness, and sho sang *“The Sea Hath Its Poarls,”” an exyuisite ballad of love by that dreamy, philosophical, sentimental Teuton, Heine, who of ull men knew the art of infusing music as well as soul into cold words. Bach porformer appeared several times and the following is tho program (excent the encores) with which they made a dzligatful evening for the assembled company : IAm Waiting ... Rondo Cappriccioso Miss | The Sea Hath Its Perls oxtn Miss Aln nto the Garden, Mr. Moekridze. When I was a Child of Throe.... ... Miss Almy. Frand Tremulo Elude ... ..., Miss Wagoner.

The buffet was oven during the evening und in the intervals between the numbers Mrs, Strawu’s colloagues invited the guests to the feast of dainties, Early in the evening the Second Infantry band from Fort Omaho, o fine organization that has given Omshans renewed reason . for tneir pride in its possession, filied the hotel with 1ts sweotest strains. After performing cscort duty for the nobles who made a pil- grimago to the banquot spread at the Mil- lavd, the band returned to the Paxton rowunda and filled ssveral intervals in the concert program with the protty airs for waich itis fumous.

How the Guests Were Entertained 1ig Men of Porkopolis, A more delightful aay could not have been imagiucd “than yesterday for a visit to the South Omaba packing houses and the water works at Florenco. Thero iwas s pleasant breeze blowing, and the special train pro- vided by Tangier to take the visiting nobles upon this pilgrimage was crowded with iuter- csted sight-seers who enjoyed their outing to the fullest extent. Noble I I, Sudborough was in charge of tne special which left the Union depot at 10 o'cloci with 400 sheiks and their lady frionds on board, assisted by Noblo C. S, Potter. Thomas k. Godfrey of the Missouri Pacific was also on hand di- recting matters after tho train left South Omuha for its run on the Belt Line, At South Omaha Nobles W. N. Babcock, superiuterdent of the stock yards, ana J. Kuox, trafiic manager for the Cudaby Puc ing company, met the visiting Arabs and gave them @ royul welcome to tho oasis of Packingtown, The first stop was mude at the Cudahy company’s establishment, where the guests’ wero divided into three partics for the purpose of netter seeing the sights ut- tendant on o visit to a largs packing house, Midway of the journey through tae immense establishment the guests were treated toa splendid luncheor, the visitors being pre- sented with souvenir: jars of beef extrici. After the ploasant mouna provided by this cntorprising firm the party was shown through the general offices of the company, in which $20,000,000 a year has to be ac- counted for. IProm tho Cudaby plant a short stop was made at Swift's bouse, when the pilgrims wore takeu to the Stock exchange, where Noblo Babeack had provided milk and other refroshing liguids, The visit was sogwell planned and so thoroughly carvied out that only the most extravagant words of praise were heard from those enjoying the hos- pitality of the novles of Tangie At the Webster street station the Second Infantry band boarded the train and as usual furuished delightful music on tha trip to the water works plant und return. But this was not all.

Iretand’s Now Viceroy. The announcement of the appolntment of Buron Houghton to the pasition ot viceroy of Ireland was so incredible that the r.pre- sentative of the Associated Press made in- quiries ubout it, when ho found that the uppointment had been made us announced. Robert Officy Ashburton Milnes, second baron Houghton, wis born January 12, 1858, and is therefors not yot 35 years of age. He marrled in 1850 Sioy], daughter of Sir E'rc erick Graham, and eranddauzhter of the duke of Somerset, His wife died in 1887, leaving three daughters. Baron Houghton has been a lord-in-waiting on the quoen.

The cholera is abating at Nijal Novgorod and Astrakhan and the in trauscaspian terri- tory, but the number of deaths continues ex- cessive in the Caucasus, the Don provinces in Saratoff, Samara. Simbirik ana Orenberg. A mob attacked tbe floating bospital at Starobelsk, in the gevernmeat of Knartoff, and completely demolished it. The doctors wero assaulted and would probably have been killed had it not been for the Inter- ventlon of troops who were summoned to restore order. T'he soldiers soon supprossed the rioting uud arrested the leaders. IT WAS ARFUL SCENE. Sinking of the Stoamer Ajax Described by an Eyewltness. Loxnoy, Aug. 16.—A speoial dispatch to the news from Helsingfors says: Tho cap- tain of the steamar Runebogs, which sunk the pleasure steamer Ajax off Helsingfors, sayswat heran his vessel on the wrong side of the Ajaxn order w avold shallow water. Ho pleads thut he bad no option to do otherwise, because the Ajax did not aliow nis vessel sufficient room. Although the Ajax was licensad Lo carry only seventy-five persons, sho had 110 passengers atoard. The number of lives lost was rearer eighty than forty. The rush of steam, the light from the moon as well as irom the vessels’ furnaces and the lanterns, the hundreds of heads and arms in the water strucgling to catch hold of anything that could be found, the fight of many to throw off those clinging around them, the shrieks of the women and children- all combined to make a scene that Dore would bave failed to paiut.

ONDON, Aug. 16,—In an editorial on the silver question, tho Stanaard says: “The day is upproaching when America will dis- cover that it is easier to bacome possessed of a debased form of money than to got quit of it by a lucky ‘fluke’ or a great sacritice, but she may surmount the dauger. But it is otherwise with Inaia, and we are astonished that Indian statesinen have uot sooner uwalk- ened to the necessity of checking the mis- chief, Wnatever is aoue, however, we must avold graspig ot nostrums.

Tho two great families of Monraguo and Caveadish had magy afiliations, and it was only natural that tt§ duchess of Manchester should tako a matergal intorest in the affairs of the motherless fmarquis of Hartington, who was five or sixgvears her junior. This friendship was contfnued without break until the death of the old duke of Mauchester, two years ago, when gossips began to spread a report that the noble marquis would soon wed the friend of his youth, who was now on the shrdy «ido of sixty, Whatever truth Jay in this rumor was stifled for tho time being by the death of the duke of Devonshire, whose mamory had to be respectad by his chief mourners. I know, too, that the dowager would have mar- ried again immeodiately aftor the mourning season had elapsed; but the sudden and aiarming illness of ber son, the duko of Man- chester, formerly Viscount Mandeville, again frustrated the plan.t A decided chungo for the better in his erdce's condition duriug the past week gave the desired opportunity, and today the duke of Devonshiro and the dowagor duchess of Manchester became man and wife, The ceremonies at Christ church, Down street, wero condugted with the utmost seercey, probably because the duke desired to direct ns far as Possible the attention of the public from the *affiir, which, though ho way regard it as pogulinaly his owa, has be- longed to society’s gossip for many years, I have, no doub young Victor Cavendish, at proseat heir to tho dukedom of Devon- shive, who last week divided a legacy of £0,000,000 with the , bdidegroom of today, will offer his sincerest congratulations to the happy pair, an aevent which, so far as human foresight oan tell, bodes him no ill, and Dovoushire at any rate. If the mar- riage which was solempized today should re- sult in roale issue, the heir to the dukedom ot Devonshire would flad himself expres shutout oy the will'of his grandfather, who, foresceing this marriage, bequeathed every- thing he possibly, could o Victor Cavendish.

Loxnoy, Aug. 16.--T8e_composition of the now government is ut‘equse of intenso dis- appointment amoi g, the radicals. Not a sinule muv, excopt Johi Morley, prominently identified with ths rddicals bas been ap- pointed to @ cablust position. The old set are masteis of i situation, “Members of old whig families and liberal medi- ocrities having . aristocratic connec- tions, never associated witn extreme views, have been Mr. Gladstone's exclusive choice. Even Mr. Stanfield. who in the last Gladstone cabinet reproseated democratic opinion, has been sheived. Ileport says that Mr. Bryce may vet come in as first comniis- sioner of works with aseat in the cabiver. but thisis only likely to happen if Mr. Gladstone finds the storm of radgical indigna- tion so overpowerlng as to compel the ap- pointment of Mr. Bryce. "The oficial list, when scanned tonight at the National Liberal club, awoke veheme nt protest. Member: of stroug radical tenden- cies turned from the annouucement with ex- prossions of scorn and anger. **Was it for this undiluted list of old men associated with wraditions of whiggery; with some new re- cruits from the terviterial and aristocratic class, that the radicals bed given their monoy sud their timef? This was the gen- eral question and the responsive prediction followed that such & govercment could not last three months afjer Palliameut resumed business. Character 4f the Cabluct, Apart from radical opiniou, the cabinet is really composed of emiveutly reputabie men Mr. ~ Gladstone bas preferred collecting around him tried colleagues, accustomed to suboralnation and gertain not to deviate into strange ways.

Chuirman Floloy raled this out of order and then ~ the storm of Indignation broke out afresh, Huudreds of delegates were on thoir feet wildly gesticulating and endeavoriug to secure rocognition, while tho thousands in the hall were howling like darvistios, ‘Through the din of voicas Mat- tock appealed from the dacision of the chair. With stoical indifference Finloy refused to entertaiu the uppeal ana ordered tho clerk to proceed with tho rolleall. Many Clark counties refused to_vote, and the call by counties showed that Shepurd was over whelmingly elected. Just as the result was being announced ex- Senator Mattock jumped on a chair and de clared that the minority had been stified and bulldozed. The chuir had, ho said, violated all parliamentary law sud custom, and he asked all those who favored the election of Lano for temporary chairman o siguify by saving “aye.” The Clark delegates and the spectators all chimed in and & mizhty sbout went up from 6.000 throats, and Mattock de- claved Lane elected. Pistols and Kulves In Air, In au instant the Clark banner was hoisted and then & mighty rush was made for the piutform to secute half of it. The scene ls indosoribable. Men in angry passios were surging, pushiug and puilling " at the tables and cbairs and all the ime yelling and curs- g, Several fights were going on io the audlonce und pistols and daugerous looking koives were flourished. For several minutes it looked us though a blocay scene of carnuge would be coacted. Ons reporter who had gained a seat of vantage was in the mad statpede hurled a distance of thirty feet on the heuds of somo of the crowd below. At last a semblance of order was worked out of chaos, As though by mutuai consent the murderous looking pistols and knives were put back in pockets and each side took half the platform and hail, Shepard presid- ing over the Hogg convention and Lane over the Clark legion, Both sides at last got down to business and begun the work of organization by appoint- ing the usual commtitees, when an adjourn- ment was taken.
