The happenings in tho week were w and far bi be scen by reference to the: oau mondo last woen," as will ¢ columns, Mrs, MotoalC's Musicale, Tn honor of Mrs, J. W. Cotton's class of voeal pupils and a compliment to her guost, Miss Anna Motealf of San Diego. Mrs. J. M. Metcalf invited a few friends inform- ally to a musicale at her home, Eleventh and Picrce strects, Tuesday evening. The program was charmingly enjoyable, largely enhanced by the lovely surroundings, for the Metealf residence is thoacmo of refinement and quiet taste, There are a number of very beautiful pictures by celebrated artists on the wulls, rare pieces of bric-a-brac on the mantels. v The program was a triumph notonly for frs, Cotton, but the_participants and host- ess as well. Mrs. Whitmore inaugurated the evening's pleasure by playing Chopin's waltz in I, followed by Miss Muenchhoff, who sang with fine effect Thome's “‘Love's Sonnet.” Miss Metealf then sang, “Stay “Summer Night.” by Coombes, a finely tan composition full of dramatic possibil ties. Miss Motealt is tho possessor of a beautifuliy cultivated mezzo-soprano, which sho uses in 4 most wusicianly manner, Later evening sho sang an old song by Pin- “Laddie,” a vocal gem hardly known to resent generation of music lovers. Etta Matheson, and no entertain- ment is quite complete without her, recite a charmingly written Irish sketch, “Ruggle: Dinner Party.” Mr. Wilkins braved the nizht just to sing Rubenstoin's “Lonings,” a plaintive bit of composition written in the highest spirit of that groat master of minor measures. Mrs. Cotton was in excellent voice, with all her art Gilchrist's light,” and that nmous soprano song by Meyer-Helmund “The Vow." Mrs. Moeller, who is doing so much good work—both in concert and church work— won many kind words by her rendition of Hawley's It Was a Dream.” Miss Myrtlo Coon, although not intending to sing, was prevailed upon, and, to the de- light of everybody, she gave that protty conceit of Rubensteia’s “Good Night." Miss Amy Barker, who hasa sweet con- tralto voice, light but full of soul, sang “Gay Gitana” by Harriss. Mrs. Macnab, wife of the rector of St. Matthias, recited inimitably, “Mrs. Bird's Efforts to Join the Masons.” This tormin- ated the musical program although with o few friends about thepiano Miss Wallace of Brownell hall played Padercwski's mintue. After the musical feast came ices and coffee with confections. Among_the guests informally asked iwere Mr. and Mrs. George Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Burker, Mr. and Mrs. . L.

In a recent issue of the Hagerstown (Md.) Evening Globe there is an extended account, of the marriage of Mr. Jacob D. Zittle of this city and Miss Jessie Wiles, daughter ot Mr. H. G. Wiles of Hagorstown. The ceremony took place at Trinity Lutheran church, Rev. Edwin Heyl Delk oficiating. Speaking of the event the Globe says “The bride, Miss Jessie Wiles, is the ac- oomplished daughter of Mr. H. G. Wiles, and ® well known lady of pronounced musical galent of this city. She was attired in a beautiful white gown of mousseline de soie, with white gloves, carrying a large bouquet of La Krance roses and wearing sovoral foral sprays in her hair. Mrs. B. M. Hays presided at the large, eep-toned pipe organ. The bridal party eateced the church to the sweet strains of Mendelssohn's processional march. The ushers preceded the couple to the altar ‘where they were met by the minister, who ronounced the solemn words that made em man and wife. The space inside the chancel rail was al- most filled with beautiful flowers. The pul- ;plt was entirely hidden. Tall palm trees graced the sides while a high pyramid of r:ll.od plants and blooming flowers, consist- g of lilies, geraniums, lilies of the valley, carnatious, loomed up in the center. After tho ceremony the bridal party re- ired to the residence of the bride's sister, rs. J. W. Dayhof, East North street, where thoy were heartily congratulated. They were also the recipients of a large number of handsome and valuable presents, consisting of articles and bric-a-brac for household use and ornamentation. An claborate repast was served at 9 o'clock. Tho table presented an enchanting -appearance, lnden with a huge pyramid of cut flowers in the center, while on all sides were grouped bricks of frozen cream, vari- colored ; huge cakes, with their icings reflect- ing the rays of the brilliant lights; fruits and other delicacies. A number of intimate friends and relatives from Baltimore, West- minster, Carlisle, Waynesboro, this city and elsewhero were present. ‘The lawn and porticoes about the cottage ‘were hung with panese lanterns, which lent a very fino effect to the surroundings. Mr. and Mrs. Zittle left on the 10 o'clock Cumberland Valley train for a western tour, visiting Chicago and the World's fair enroute. They will take up their residenco in Omaha, where tho groom has in waiting 8 home already furnished and in order to go to housekeeping immediately upon their arrival. nging ‘‘Heart's De- roses, ol A Dramatic Reoital, The recitul given by tne School of Music Friday ovening was one of tho season's most delightful entertainments. Several charming selections were sung by the popular Reinecke quartet which includes two of Council Blufts' fair daughters, Mrs, Wakefleld and Miss Neola Ogden. The unusual part of the program, how- ever, was the disvlay of aramatio talent by tho pupils of Miss Lowell, who has charge of this department of the' School of Music. Miss Lowell isa young woman of cxcep- tional endowments and national reputation. The work accomplished by her pupils re- flects great credit upon her as an instructo Miss Sophio Gerner recited “Come Here, an adaptation from the German, in & won- derful manner. The clever actréss by simu- lating various situations, sublime, redicu- lous, tragic or comic, with the two words Sigome here,” ran the whole gamut of human emotion. Miss Hughes captivated the audi- ence with her splendid interpretation of “Nydia," the bld girl, and reccived a beau- #iful basket of roses from the Innisfail Dra- matic club. The appearance of Mr. Clifton Ehrell Moughton was a delightful surprise to tho large and critical audience. That Mr. ‘Houghton ‘mlaum genius is unquestioned. «Added to this, a fino stage presence, 8 mag- netic volce rich and perfectly modu- lated, @ flue dramatio instinct and artistic delicacy of expression.

Chirlstoned Their Club House. The cosey littlo club house on California street, lately furnished and fitted up by the Tourists Wheelmen of Omaha was formally thrown open to the clubmen and their many friends last Tuesday evening. From cell to garret the club house pre- sented one blaze of ruddy light, emanating from the crimson globed chandeliers. Sweet strains of music floated through the open doors and windows. Flowers lent their delicate perfume to the fragrant aroma of cigar smoke, prevalent throughout the house. The neatly furnished lors, reading room and card rooms were tastefully decorated with festoons of red, vhite and black ribbon, the club's colors, which lent a certain charm and novelty to the plain light and antique oak furnishings. Some 150 clubmen and invited guests thronged the little house and thoroughly en- joyed themselves. An excellent orchestra aided materially in whiling away the fore- vart of the evening with sclections, which wero interspersed at intervals by voluntary efforts on the piano and guitar by clubmen and gifted guests, all of which were highly appreciated and elicted rounds of applause, At 10 o'clock the entertainment committeo, who had in the meantime been working like beavers, threw open the daoors leading to the upper rooms and announced “luncheon.” These rooms were also decor- ated with flowers and festoons of red, white, gold, green. plue and black ribbon in honor to the club's invited guests from the Gandy- mede Wheel club. Omaha Wheel club and Young Men's Christian Association cyclers, Thirty plates were laid at each sitting and it was 12 o'clock before the last guest had partaken of the good cheer. One hundred and twenty occupied seats at the table at different times. I'ne latter part of the even- ing spent by all in singing club and col- lege songs, renewing old friendship and get- ting thoroughly acquainted. At a late hour, or rather early hour of the following morning the last guest had made his adeiu and quiet settled over the Tourist quarters, now wearing a new dignity, a duly christened club house. The entertainment committee composed of H. H. Allen, M. O. Daxon, Deal Wertz, W. F. Negele, Max Reichenberg, W. H. Dox, John Hynes and H. K. Smith, proved them- selves royal hosts and expert entertainers. They deserve a great deal of credit, for it was only through a great amount of hard work on their part that the reception proved such an unbounded success. Many of the cyclists present appeared in full cycling costume, the lawn at one time being complotely blocked with stacked wheels, High School Graduntes.

OmanA, June 2.—To thq Editor of Tne Bee: Ihave just regd tHe accountof the torrible accidents in' Coyncil Bluffs and Omaha which resulted§n fthe sudden death of two persons and the serious injury to sev- eral others. I note with rpgret the gencral sentiment that whoever is to blame for it should be made to suffer, for it seems 1mpos- sible to believe that anyone would intention- ally cause such an accident, and the worst act anyone was possibly guilty of was thoughtlessness. Every one connected with it feels badly enough as it is, and are mot ' likely ever to forget again, and punishment would not restore the dead orcure the injured, I be- long to that numerous and rapidly growing class of persons who believe that the Cnrist- ianity of Christ might, with great benefit to mankind, be applied to social, industrial and comme 1 affairs. To us it seems far better to provide ways by which such acci- dents, as the one mentioned or the killing of Mrs. O'Byrne by a motor are rendered im- possible, than to wait till they do happen and thon punish some ome. I think the hoartless commercialism of the ago 13 to blame for such things. Railroads and street cars are run to make monoy, and we should not too severely censure their managers if they look out for thomselves and let the public do the same. The presidgent of the Railway Surceon's association says railroad accidents are on the increase and gives some appalling figures. In Fragce, if I am correctly in- formed, thoy never have such accidents as that in Council Bluffs, because there is not a grade crossing in the whole nation. In Chicago there is a strong determination to abolish the grade crossing, and the railroads have been ordered to raise all tracks in the city limits. The railroads say they won't, because it will cost too much. Who can blame them? Who wants to run a railroad unless he can make money? Railroaas, like other business institutions, are run to make money. If the people wish the railvoads run for their accommodation, let them take them and run them. Lot them also take the street railways. Make all railroads run below the level of the streets, elevate all street car lines, and then we, the great and mighty people, can go upon the highways without feeling that we are taking our lives in our hands, Lookour. ———— THE WAY WE WALKED, Cy Warman s New York Sun, I mot a woman on life's way, A woman fair to see; Or caught up with hor.

A LOVING FRIEND. G uinimin THE DAKOTA AND GULF ROAD. nyey, Nob., May -To_the Editor o BEE: “Tho ‘populists’ of Kansas ask the aid of their political sympathizers in Nebraska, the two Dakotas, Oklahoma and xas to provide means for building a_great railroad from Bismarck to the Guif of Mexico. Tt requires money to build rail- roads. Tho populists in the states named have no money. They canobtain money only by borrowing it. Their plan invokes state 81d by using the public credit for nogotiating loans. It would bo instructive to seo a populist politician, in the character of agent for a vopulist state administration, approach a capitalist and ask for money on the credit of individuals, or land owners, or of the government in states where populist legislation prevails. ~With a record of repudiation they could not borrow a cent," The above copy of an editorial in the Chi- cago Herald of the 27th inst. is a sample of how the great wi is misrepresented by papers that one would think had decency enough not to bofoul their own nest. The ‘“‘populists” have no money. Why? Because what they produce by toil, above an existence, is exactod by the money-loan- ing ‘“capitalist” and railroad extortionist. That wo can obtain money only by borrow- ing it is false. Wo obtain it only by work- ing for it, by producing it on farms and in factories “and industrial trades, by labor administering to comfort and in- telligence. How does the ‘“‘capitalist” get nis? Nine cuses out of ten by class legislation and fraud, by forged stocks and counterfeit bonds. The —*“populists” who undertake to build a railroad or any other enterprise on borrowed capital will fail sooner or later, thesame as would a business man fail whose capital was borrowed, no matter what his industry, re ligion or politics. That the “‘populists’’ have repudiated or have a record of repudiation is false. Some of us have sense enough to detect tho counterfeit bonds and stocks that have been 1ssued by the railroad managers at homo and abroad, and we are gomg to disown these bastard securities, sawe as does our nation the base coins issued by their ignorant cousins in crime—the counterfeiters of money. When “Nebraska, Kunsas, the Dakotas, Oklahoma and Texas" repudiate honest debt it will bo timo enough for these defamers of the great toiling west to_ bring that charge. The Kearney and Black Hills railway was built and cquipped for less thun $12,000 per mile, as proven by the sworn testimony of their own managers in the case of William Nash et al aguinst Nelson A. Baker and others, now on file in the supreme court of ka at Lincoln. And yet that road ied securities upward of $1,000,000 in of that amount, which securities are of values, and they call upon us “populists” (who have no money) to make these forgeries good. That we have been fools enough to do it so far is ex planatory " of our poverty. That railroad” (the Kearney and Black Hills) is a sample of railroad building in the west. ‘The branch lines of the Union Pacific rail- way are built without exception on this kind of value. and the main lne is robbed to ob- tain the $9,000 to $10,000 per mile actually invested. The government debt goes un- paid, and we are asked to extend it fifty years ot 3 per ceut and 100 years at 2 per cent. The human cattle of this country are t00 green to burn, and hell is not their home 1f they permitit.” A place where forgeries and valued counterfeits are issued unlimited to be paid by labor must be built for thom. The B. & M. railroad company is mortgaged to within 225 per milo of its cost. * Sec their own statements to their stockholders. If the “populists” want to build a railroad let them make up a purse from a dimo to as many dollars as they can raise, and build it for cash and cash only, and it will squecze enough water (forgery) out of the other roads to irrigate our_farms of the west $0,- 000,000 per year. The man who pays cash for his purchases, be it a cigar or a rai road, needs no credit but always has i while he who borrows sells his security, his work and time, growing poor, while' the lender grows rich in idleness. 1f the con- vention at Lincoln is called to borrow money to build a railroad, and does it, its lines wiil be constructed ata cost based on extortion and fraud the same as are the lines now built, and like a glass bottle with failure blown in it and a hole in the bottom be but a delusion. No road should be allowed to bond itself for a dollar nor issue any stock above the amount actually invested. In justice to the borrower that he may avoid repudiation from absolute inability to pay, and in justice to the lender, a halt should bo called on the issuing of further in- terest-bearing paper. The postal system of froight on a road built with cash from Bis- mark to the gulf would produce a surplus for botterments and extevsions that would quad- ruple our values and give us a rato not to ex- ceed 6 cents per 100 pounds for any class any distance, Tho wildest dream of the nation- alist could not picture our prosperity, nor ti success of such a line. But then the public teat of the great west would slip out of the cathsh mouth of the ‘“capitalist, causing him to bawl like a bull calf being weaned to work. The milk and honey of our producers would be kept at home that our merchants might shure in the benefits. The man who helps the farmer and toiler about him is but exer- cising enlightened business seifishness. L us pray to God for enlightenment that we may stop the “capitalist” from preying upon us through our weakness in borrowing and our credulity in paying dividends on_forged values in stocks and bonds. It may be none of my business, but I want to say to the 'mossback” interest gatnerer of the cast that the toiling *“‘haysceds” of the west do not propose to honor the railvoad forgeri that are being uttered, and if we have to ap- veal from the highest courts of the land to the grsenals of our country, as did John Brown at Harper's Ferry to freo the darkoy, We will make the appeal.

LoNDboN, May 22.—[Correspondence of Tng Brg.]~Thore is nowhere in the entiro range of sociological study and observation so gro. tesquo and yot so genuine a thing as Gypsy royalty. To bo “king" or ‘“‘queen” of a tat- terdemalion crew of wanderors scems to us who are utterly removed from Gypsy thought, feeling and conditions so trifling and out landish a thing that we can scarcely conton- vlate the regal status and its odd dignities without a focling of ridiculgand contemnt The first Gypsy I over saw was a princess; afterwards a queen. That was just forty years ago. She was a mite of a thing, and a great storm of early winter had separatod her from the rest of her band us 1t was hastening to summer climes, and driven her, desperately near death from the severity of tho olements, to the door of our amplo and ancient farm house. It was Thanksgiving day. A crowd of relatives and friends were being entertained after the good old New England fashion. The hundreds of catule, horses and sheev had all boen comfortably housed from the bewilder- ing storm. Three or four tablofuls of countryside guests had boen sarved, every- thing possessing a keencr relish for the shuddering night and its blinding snow. While the good old place was ringing with laughter and jollity and my mother, with the manner of a severe commander, was givin, an eye to preparations for the “hired men repast, the storm clutched and shook the old tarm houso savagely. In the rattle and clatterof 1tall there was swopt into the wide, low-ceilinged room a scared, trembling, tawny girl of perhaps 15 years of age. The snow was beaten nto her glossy, black hair, which was matted wildly about her shivering form. My mother locked the “hired men" out for a bit; brought the girl to the capacious fire place and dried and warmed her; and then with a geauine court martial air, and still with a brusquoe yet cor: tain touch of the waif's immediate neceds which had real humanity in it, set her at the tableand fed her until she could hold no more. Then taking both of us—myself “rising five," as the farmers say, and this plump, glowing oyed heathen—she marched us up stairs, away into the garret, and put us, still together, into the snuggest of trundle beds beside the huge. roaring chimney, where, cuddling me in her warm arms as if for human companicnship, and muttering words of an unknown tongue, which surely held the modulation and accentof prayer, this lost heathen princess sobbed herself asleep. It would be a long and even a romantic story how this Gypsy girl was found at our home by a Gypsy lad the next morning; how lad and lass disappeared hand in hand like ragred silhouettes over the snowcapped hills about our vailey farm; how when a boy soldier 1 came upon the two, then man and wife, ground between the teeth of waras Hood was making his brave but fateful winter march upon Nashville, just ten yoars after the stormy Thanksgiving time, and at a then dreadful risk set them on their way o Gypsy friends in the north; how,but a few years later still, again I founa them, this time in a great Gypsy camp where tho annual May day meetings and partings wero going on, and whore, for what little I and mine had done, this same Gypsy girl, now qu of her tribe, made my merits, through he: gratitude, o great to her peoplo and race, that in all lands and places since, threo ic words have unlocked house, tent and heart of all ¢ ydom ; but it has brought me to see and feel almost with Gypsy e, and mind, and to know that there is truly an impressive reality even in Gypsy royaliy in rags. T'lic accepted notion about Gypsy “kings" and “queens” is that of the stage and story book Gypsy, ¢ ing a witch-crook, striding greut stride in gaudy finery, wear- ing a tin d bedecked with Brum- magen b who endlessly spenks in a voice of suppressed basso and who “Thees!” **Thous!” ‘Hos!" *“Has!” and ““Avaunts!" tremoling subjects until themwr joints ave loose in thelr sockots and the camp- fire pots rattle and clink in the crooks of the iron kettle-sticks. Perhaps something of this sort was in vogue a few hundred year ago. The history of Gy, in cont nental IBurope shows that Gypsy “kings,” “princes,” ‘‘earls,” ‘‘dukes” and those of lesser title roamed about, under license of potentates, with retinucs and cavalcades that would have done honor to truly titled folk of the time. Butall this sort of thing isnow alone found iu the shilling-shocker and penny-dreadful wilds of literature. There was up to the lust century some gen- ulne royal Gypsy pageantry among the larger wandering British tribes. This was characteristic of Scottish more than of Kng- 1l doings consumately shrewd in carrying out his assumption of pilgrimage aud of being under commands of the pope to wander seve years without sleeping in a bed, that he actunlly securcd the countenance, if not the favor, of James 1V, This Anthonius G wino seemed to bo a diplomat by natur He inveigled King James into giving him a Ve strong and sympathetic letter to his uncle, the king of Denmark, in which the CGypsy chief and his vagabond follo are spoken of as “Anthonins Gawino, rl of Little Egypt, and the other aficted and la- mentable tribe of his retinue,whilst,through a desire for traveling and by command of the pope, pilgriming over the Christian world,"” etc., wh shows that their imposi- tion on the melancholly Scottish king was complete, whether or not his testimonial ever benefited them in Denmark. Until uear after this, al- though the 1y become troublesomo, their true actor had not been discovered. James V.., shortly before i hin 1540, enterod into a leaizuo with w, lord and earl of Little Iigypt,” directing a1l in authority in his realm to compel the return to Faw's submission all those Egyptinns who had rebelled against him, and that all oficers should usgist in de taining and punishing those people “in con formity with his laws," so that, as the edict read, “the said John ha no cause for com plaint thereupon in time coming.” This edict further charged all officers of the realm to command masters of all ships at ports and havens where the said John and his company might como to raceive the and, on expenses being paid, to convey thewm to their own councry. ‘This was only a shrewd bit of maneuver- ing onthe part of King Faw, who, being pressed to take himself and tribe out of the country, pretended o his followers' rebellion agaiust him, and secured this unique edict in his fayor to give color of necessity to pro- longing his and his people's stay iu Scotlinl This Faw, whose shrowdness stamped the genuine Gypsy upon his character, wi pr-vT\Mlnr of the many tribes of Faws, v‘:x or Falls, who with the Baillies (formerly Bailyows, tho prosent great Bail America), have been the most numerous and noted of Scottish Gypsies, and whose de scendants, as Faws and Falls, 1 have found in 1 tablo numbers and condition throughout the United States. ) st roted royal Gypsios of Scotland ing Anthonius Gawino, proviously 0, the Bailyows, aftorwards the and old King John Faw.

T'his noted lino of British Gypsy royalty still oxists in direct doscent in the porson of the most hopeless outeast of all outcasts, an outcast Gypsy, whose acquaintance 1 have the honor to possess; although the same 18 esteemed almost o dishonor from evena Psy point of view;and the same roynl line, in distributed strains, is still proudly’ recognized in nearly seventy families: or tribes I porsonally know in Fngland, Scot- land ¢ hos tiold to the right of suce sparate ting kingdoms of popu thor than territory with the samo ten and sacred inviolability as any Iuropean monarchial dynasty.

At the death, at Kirk Yetholm in 1847, of the king of all the Scottish and many of the English psies, William Faa, or “Auld Wull Faa,” as he was familiarly known, they mustered from Yetnolm and ‘its immediato neighbor- hood 500 Gypsies and 300 asses as an escort for his remainsfrom Coldstream to the parish burying ground at Yetholm. Shortly after his death on the sudden decease of Charles ythe, King William's immediate successor, ble contest took place between the two daughters, Princess Esther ncess Helen The Biythe line was extinct in Scotland, and noono could be found to dispute tho royal line reverting to one or the other of the two Faa princesses. Helon, tho ounger, urged her claims on the well known nd often expressod wish of the dead king that she shomid eventually succeed him. ther,the elder, claimed the succession on the grounds of seniority. For months the liveliest imaginable political canva was waged througlout the Gypsy camps of Scot- land and England. At last the coutest waged 80 bitter that these siste of royal blood came to blows. the first and last breach of the peacs ever accredited to Gypsies in Yetholm, They were both women of powerful frame, and the encounter has been d ribed to me by an eye witness now living as having been of tho most savage and ferocious character. Esther was victorious, and Helen, or black: bearded Nell, as the villagers called her, ‘ot hersel le lickit.” i appar ently decided the contest, for when “testing- day,” orShrove Tuesday, on which the fa- mous Bowmont games are still notably cele- Dra Princess Helen and her followers stion to Princess tsther's elec tion and coronation.

Her majes tended by a royal brother, several princes and princesses of the blood, Prince Robert, her son, to whom I have pre- viously referred, and a great retinue of over 300 Gypsies and as many townspeople and gentry of the surrounding country. The cavaleado proceeded to the Yetholn Cross. A jolly old Dblacksmith named George Gladstone, who had performed a like oftica for Charles Blythe, and thus sccured the title of **Archbishop of Yetholm,” wrought a resplendent coronot of tin, sustaining a tremendous Scotch thistle. In presence of the great multitude he made proclamation of hus right to oxercise the high oftice, and, having in the most solemn fashion sot the emblem of royalty upon her head, proclaimed the swarthy heroine *‘Her Royal Majesty Esther aa Blythe Rutherford, sovereign and quoen of all the Gypsics in the king, dom of Scotland—challenge who dare dresses of congratulation were read from loyal subjects in the differcnt shires, from the citizens of Kelso and her unear cities and villages, and from Yetholm townsfolk, after which a levee was hold at the ‘*‘royal palace,” a thatched cottage with a hard clay floor, and the night was passed in ad manner of rustic revelries.
