| SWALL DOINCS 1N SWELLDON Marriages that Have Been Solemnized the Past Few Days. OMAHA DESERTED BY THE FASHIONABLES People Who Have Gong to Summer Itenorts the Country Over—Little Things t Have Kept socinty from Ranning to Seed. Thero is absolutely nothing doing in social circles these torrid July days. Everybody who can is going or has gone away, leaving only a few well known people in town, and | these are considering “a lodge in some vast wilderness, o vast contiguity of shade” as the only thing left for such as they. Last woek's terrific wosther caused u change in & great many plans on the part of the people who had resolved to spend the summior at home. Whatever other ad- vautages the (iate City has over the rest of creation its summer climate is not one of them and the tonic of a change of air and scenc moro than makes up for the many dis- comforts of summor resort life, so ludicrously set forth in the hmn{ papers, Beyond a few quiet evenings and nttle ;lmwrl after a drive -to Courtland beach, Lake Manawa or the parks m}lh!r side of the river there is little to chi cle. Soclety is doad—the Sumgner Girl ouly lives. D B The gala opera performance “in honor of the royal wedding was 0 great event at Covent garden on Tuesday eveninz. The prince chose Gounod's *“Romeo et Julietto for the performance, with the Do Reszkes. Plancon, Madame Molba, and Lucie Hill in thecast. Tho royal box was greatly en- largod and upholsterod in white silk and satin, caught up by festoons of white roses and orange blossoms, Each tier of boxes scomed n_veritublo bauk of flowers and Ims. Blocks of ice, flluminated by olectric ights with reflecting mirrors, cooled the atmosphere and added brlliancy to the scene, The saloon was transformod into n fosal'rocoption room, oponig into the royal X. . The autumn before Florence's death, dur- ing a visit to his old friend Jefferson, Mrs. Cleveland ran down from New York with Mrs. Danel Lamiont for a quiet fortnight in which to enjoy Gray Gables and wlk over the projected improvements which were shortly thereafter begun. The evenings were spent alternately at the new house or at Mr. Jefforson's place, and when at tho latter, as may be imagined, Mrs. Cleveland's entertainers loft nothing undone to con- tribute to her amusement. One evening the lndies were loft to their own dovices for what seemed a very long quarter of an hour, Suddenly the drawing room goors opened and Jefferson appeared _costufhed as Romeo to g0 through the most romantic and tragic portions of the play to Florence's Juliet. After all the life of'a United States sen: tor is a @ood deal of a royal round of plea: ure with just enough work to make th ploasurg more pronounced.

She said that she could easily believe that, Judging from the representatives it had already sont. As the year went by I learned to appre- clate more and more the advautages orfiuv- ing been a student in the Omaha High school. It had given such thorough training, espacially fn mathematics and the ¢lissics, that college work was a bleasure, not a struggle. The lessons were long enough to keep us busy all the week. On Frwu[v( nights the Eirls throw books aside and bl m out in all colors of eveni owns. Kven the pale ¥irl washies the ink from her fiogers, and fopgets to talk algebra at the table. After dinner comes concert, lecture, banques, re- certion, play, teas or fudges. Fudges are distinctly o college Product. Somwe one has described them as *‘carawels spoiled in makiug.” They are made in a tin pan over a gas jet. They contain milk, .mr and chocolate. They “are good. The [ usod 0 make the confection at all | hours, but, since the authorities have turned off thegas during daylight, they make it only after dark. Another unfortunate consequence of the gAs scarcity {8 that the girls cannot curl their their hair if thay sleop late in the morning. 1 quote & posm on the subject: YA ‘oas’-TLY Rr1sopR.” L Tloved a malden falr to see, Wh hair, In charming ringlets curling, That caught the sunlight gol: ""lf' Was dear to me as English sterling. m 11ove no more that malden learn'd Stralght locks can ne’er my heart imprison— Ab, wou bo unto them that turned gas off o'or my love had risen! 'hoso lines hint at another feature of every girls’ college, namely—crushes.” Ono girl is ‘crushed” on another whon she falls suadenly and deoply in love with her. The only saving element of a ‘‘crush’ is its brevity. The genfno articlo lasts two weeks, sometimes three. But while it lasts! Pity, unaffected friends. The faculty think “crushes” demoralizing. At at any rate “to do a crush well” costs money as well as seif respect. The *‘crushed" one—always a freshman—sends candy, flow- ers and melting little notes to her adored— generally a senior. Huyler's best and double violets do not suit a slender purse. A slender purso is hard to bo suited any- where, At Vassar one can bo very economi- cal. 1 know of one frugal New England maiden whose expenses excluding railroad fare and the #400 duw for tuition, board and wulhlng, were less than $15 for the whoie year. To be sure, she did not belong to_any Societies, nor buy crinolined abominations for Easter Sunday, nor indulgo in *‘crushes,” nor give teas and receptions, nor hire safouy, nor go to the senior auction. The senior auction was held to raise money for class day. An old letter from Richard Harding Davis sold for #4.25. Ninety-three's china pug with one lame foot brought 8. F. Hopkinson Smith's dance program for Phila- lothean day went for §.75. Philalethean day and Founder's day are the two great gala days of the college year. Then 1t is that Harvard, Yaie and Princeton appear at Vassar in dress suits and embar- rassment. During the evening's lecture the girls, who have no guests, sit in the gallery and oriti- cally survey the youths and maidens on tho main floor.” After the locturo come refresh- ments and promenades. Round dances are vetoed. Last Founder's day I haa my program full of girls, except the soventh, which was re- served fora fair haired little actor from Pittsburg. Unluckily I sought him too late, Ireached the Juno's head, where nartners were changed, in time to see him disappear among the shifting throng with my best friend ou his arm. I could never have for- given her1f she had not brought him back in time to givd me a five minutes chat. He scemed dazzled and delighted with every- thing. When I suggested that he must find it stupid to meet so many strangers, and to have no d g, he protested that he liked it, He wished that there were eight times eight promenades, and that he had a difforent girl every timo.' His special hostess had instrncted him to take every girl he met into supper. He faithfully made tho effort, but providentially the supper room was too crowded most of tho time, Speaking of refreshments reminds me of tho democratic banquet which was given after the election last November. Most of the faculty are democrats, but the students have a republican majority. Beforo the election this majority held a glorious rally. It was called a torchlight procession. They had no torches and the line of march was through the college halls. Otherwise the event was up to tho standard with flags, floats, tin horns, yells and speeches. The girls scemed to enjoy most of all the chance to shout. After the election they wero wonderfully still, until the Greek play in the spring gave all another opportunity for enthusiasm. Tho play was a great success. When it was ever the Vassar girls in the audienco rushed behind the scenes to congratulato their mates who had taken part. The vall girl who had impersonated Creon, was standing in the center of an oxcited group. A young man pressed his way througi them o Creon, threw his arms around her, and kissed ber on both cheels. *dsn't that lovely!” whispered one pretty maid, I wish I had a brother.” I have asked several students what the year has been to them. The superior girl from Pennsylvania, who taught four years before coming to college, looked at me with a quizical smile, and would not telt. I could guess, Her self-trust'was as firm as ever, but her self-esteein had grown less. A studious Boston maiden, who last year did not swim .or skate or dance or play ten- nis or row or ride a safoty, who had never heard of gooseberries and thought that roast peanuts grow on bushes, who vaguely ex- pected that western people would be *differ- ent,” suid that the past yearhad been one of mew ideas, The pale genius from Vassar had broad- ened her. I hope that by next summer she will be broadenod enough to consent to read “Uncls Tom'’s Cabin.” - When Lasked a bright-faced New York girl, who is always sunny and gay and in love with somebody, she answered, “It has been a year of perfect happiness.:’ JULTA A. 5C HWARTZ., 3 = Balloon ascension and parachute jump this afternoon at Courtland Beach. e Amusement Notes, The first attraction at Boyd's theater dur- ing the auxiliary summer season will be George Thateher and his operatic extrava- company in the new spectacular comic The production is said to be an exceptionally strong aud perfect one, the company numbering over seventy people and carrying all scenery and other para- pherualia.

Colonel Bob Johnson, whom Major Furay dubs us o pocket edition of Colorbl Hueh Murphy, perpetrated a huge joke on Colonel Jim Stephenson, the stroel sweoping con- tractor, yesterday. Colonel Jim was holding @ very animated conversation with Major Balcombe regarding tho street sweep- ing schedule and was protesting most vigorously against = the same. He SIXTEE was mightily in carnest, gosticulated flercely, dunced the hornpips and ran his hands madly through where the hair should b6 on the top of his head, all to give empha. 8is to the fact that if the schedule was forced upon him it would prove his ruina tion. Major Balcombo was serenity itseif and he listened atientively. ‘At the moment Colonel Stephsuson was at his best two ladies dropped into the board's rooms to see the chairman. Colonel Bob Johnson was nigh and ho noswered the mquiry as to whether Colozel Jim was the cf Colonel Bob answered that ho would be at leisure in a moment. The ladics looked at cach other aghast for & moment, and one quietly remarked: “Oh, never mind, we will call again. My, but the chairman seems to bo a very boisterous, vehement gentloman. 1s ho always that way? and they departed fully convinced that Colonel Jim was Chairman Winspear, and Colonel Bob gave the story away and Colonel Jim took 1t all in good part and treated all the other military heroes there- abouts in a fine manuer. —ne ANOTHER FACTORY. An Omaha Mau Invents an Ors Crusher and Forms u Stock Company, The mineral and paint ore trade has for years boen looking for a machine that would bo comparatively inexpensivo and cconomi- cal in its equipment and servico in the re- duction of paintand mineral ores. Such a machine has at last boen invented and the honor is due an Omaha inventor. Ina shed on Sherman avenue, near Binney, an in- ventor has been working for some time upon o machine which ho has at last perfocted. The device comprises essentially an encasing shell within which aro two communicating and partly cylindrical chambers within which are positioned two driving shafts each having an enlarged hub provided with a sories of seatings, within which are ro movably . hold & system of angled toeth. Theso tecth 'extend &L an angloe to & plane passing verti- cally and transversely to the shafts, tho teeth of ono shaft inclined toward one end and those of the other shaft toward the other end. so that thoso teoth intermesh, The shafts, however, are made to revolve opposite directions. Above, the machine is provided with & hobper having o regulated feed, and, upon each side, with an exhavst. The bottom of each of the semi-circular chambers is further provided witha sories of upwardly oxtending teeth, thero being one seriesof teeth for each of the revolving shafts. Theso instru- mentalities comprise the machine. In its workings tho two operating shafts, which are connected by meshing goars, are driven by auy suitable power. The operation of the devico is very simple. The material being comminuted, and which may comprise paint or any mineral ores, is thrown into the hopper and fed into the chamber, either intermittently or continu- ously. Tho intormeshing shafts are revolving at o very aich rate of speed in opposite directions and as the material falls into the chamber it encounters the revolving teeth, which revolve at a_tremendous speed, mak- ing from 2,500 to 8,000 revolutions per- min- ute. As the material falls into the chamber it encountors theso angle teeth in such a manner that the material is given a new ai- rection, cither toward one end or the other of the chamber, tho teeth of ono_hub throw- ing the material in one directionand the teoth of the other in the opposite. Now, in their flight these ore particles come into vio- lent contact with thomselves, and it is by means of the impact of this collision that the particles are reduced. This is upon an entirely ‘now theory, Horotoforo tho ores have been reduced by means of burrs, and us the material is very hard, 1t would of course inyolve great wear on themachine. By this new method, how- ever, the material is thrown with great vio- lenco against itself, and the roduction is brought about by the particles themselves. Last Tuesday o test of a full-sized machine was made in the presence of several Omaha capitalists, during which 500 pounds of hard iron ore, running fully 85 per cent iron, was reducod to the finest paint stock, in' four minutes by the watch, Tho pulverizer at the time running at the mimmum rate of only 1,600 revolutions per minute. The'invention, machine and - everything connected therewith is purely an Omaha concern. The inventor, Mr. John M. Jones, is an old resident of Omaha and the maching was built fn one of the local shops. The ex- perimont last Tuesday was corducted by Mr. Jones and Mr. G. W. Sues, who was the attorney in procuring the patent for the machine. A company has just beon organ- ized which will bo incorporated within a fow days, for $150,000 and it expects to locate a plant in Omaha, one in Denver and one in Brooklyn, with branch houses in Chiicago and San Francisco.

He does not wasto any time upon imaginary things or upon fine spun theories, but from teaching the boys and girls how to handle a saw_und a plano he proceeds to the scienco of gato and stairs building, of pattern making and of moulding.
