YCREM DE MYNT” DENOUNCED Worthy Defenders of Omaha Society Girls Make Vigorous Protest, THE OFFENDER'S IDENTITY DISCOVERED “There Are Few Chestnuts Plucked from the Matrimonial Tre Desire to Advertise Himsel Have No Use for Him.” The Sunday Bee published a communica- tion from a local soclety critic which has met with unstinted denunciation, as will be witnessed by a perusal of the following OMAHA, June 7.—To the Editor of The Beo: An article which appeared in The Sun- day Dee signed Crem de Mynt, inwhich the writer ekingly ridicules the Omah girl in particular, was an insult to the intelli- gence of Omaha womanhood, a gratuitous slur upon wives, daughters, sisters and sweethearts, and a conglomeration of snob- ocracy ideas so rank in nature that it left @ bad taste in the mouths of all fair-minded Omaha people who read the article In ques- tion. The assertion that Omaha women reach the border line of old maldenhood before they are married is a slander which refer- ence to the official record of marriage - censes In the county clerk’s office will refute. On the contrary the majority of Omaka girls marry at a comparatively youth- ful age—not too old, Just old enough. Does Crem de Mynt exy the Omaha girl to step from the seminary to the altar? or from short dresses to the bridal tros eau? There are very few chestnuts plucked from the matrimonial tree in Omaha. The apex of absurdity, however, was the statement that only one girl in Omaha knew how to walk, and she had blue blood in her veins, Only one who knew how to walk! Reader, dees not this foolish outburst of egotism from one who poses as a criterion and criti of a community cause you to experience that fatigued ing? At what pedestrian match did this cynic pose as judge? Where are his credentials as dictator of the art of walking? Why does he not hire a hall and give an exhibition of proper pedestrianism? Does he know the difference between loco- motor ataxia and the gait of a person whose feot are not mates, or does he expect Oma girls to assume an cted regulation stride which will be the poetry of motion, the Crem de Mynt walk as it were? One would think that Crem regarded a young lad nccomplishments as being proficient in know- Ing how to walk and how to dress with in- difference to intellectual pursuits. Crem must think that Omaha girls carry their brains in their feet. Possibly the fact that the one girl in Omaha who walks In accordance with Crem’s ideas has blue blood in her veins nccounts for her graceful carriage. Ordi- nary people with prosaic, every-day red fluid such as flows in the veins in the di tinguished men and women of this nation will doubtless attribute their deficiency in gait to a lack of blue blood, and possibly the supersensitive may immediately have their feet amputated and rehearse graceful usage of crutches. Crem thinks that Omaha girls walk like chickens. Possibly Crem walks like a goose and expects every one else to do the same. The reflections on the independence of Omabans in their quiet taste for dress and Indifference .to the dictates of Dame Fashion ure in full consonance with the balance of the ridiculous attack, especially that clause In which Crem egotistically referred to dodging around corners with extreme morti- fication rather than meet an Omaha girl who. preferred simplicity of garb and per- e bONal comfort to Crem de Mynt idea of dress. Crenl evidently caters to the good graces of widows. . Possibly ho prefers warmed over affections, but most men don't. This remarkable adviser warns girls not to marry men who part their hair on the side. Yo gods! Doos worthiness of husbands depend on the manner in which they part their hair? The writer does not say whether the model matrimonial catch Is to part his hair in the middle, wear bangs, comb it like Jim Corbett’s or part it near the back of the neck. Even the bald-headed men, who tenderly rub their surviving threads of hir- sute with a towel, are ruled out. Crem sneers at the idea of a western alliance in which the eastern capitalist would tie up his wealth on a western girl. The west has been a judicious investment in the past and present for eastern capital. Records show that the fortunes of western girls who have wedded eastern husbands have frequently saved the husbands from financial ruin when adversity stared them in the face. Crem says that the Omaha girls cannot conceal their love and that it bulges out on their faces, This is a commendable trait— & jewel of virtuous womanhood. It Is better than wearing the mask of deceit. ‘The only good sense displayed by Crem de Mynt was when, after writing such a tirade against Omahans, the perpetrator read it over, listened to the whisperings of a strained consclence and sought refuge from public indignation behind ~an anonymous Bignature, being too cowardly to give his name. In conclusion, T hope that Crem de Mynt will take something for his malady. Here Ms a simple prescription: o graing of common sense, one drahm of justice, an ounce of unpredjudiced observation and a tablespoonful of truth, shake well before using, take It regularly and keep out of print. HELEN M. HOWARD. He In Discovered. OMAHA, June 9.—To the Editor of The Bee: I must answer the very uncalied-for criticism of Omaha girls in.The Sunday Bee by one signing himself “Crem de Mynt." I pen this answer for several good rea- sans. One is because I have discovered the identity of the critic, although I am not at liberty to disclose his name. Another rea- son, and one which has displeased me not a little, 1s that he mentioned a near relative of mine, truly not by name, but in an equally sertaln manner. Many of my acquaintances (not friends) have accused me of writing that very ungen- tlemanly article, and I consider it my duty to vindicate the Omaha girl and also vindi- ,cate myself. This “Crem de Mynt, as I know him, has always been a fairly good follow herétofore, but when he penned that disagreeable article he must have been suf- tering from dyspepsia, or his best girl had glven him the mitten. In criticlsing his article one scargely knows where to commence. He is 50 totally wrong in his ethics, or, more properly speak- ing, he has no moral philosophy at all. So- clety and the abuses of nature are Identical I bis view. I tondly supposed that the soclety spoken of by this “Crem de Mynt" was something refined and cultured, where its members were beyond the temptations of life. Yet e would have us believe that the honest marriages of our fathers is now out of date in_smart ‘sets, where the only union s an alliance for worldly reasons. Is this not a beautiful code of morals to teach our young ladies? And let me assure Mr. Crem de Mynt, that those of us who are brothers or fathers do not appreciato his efforts to drag our iunocent sisters and daughters down to the level of his baseness. It would have becn better had he never come amongst us, but gone to Parls where his abominable ideas would have been ap- preciated for what they are worth, He scoffs at the Omaha girl's Innocence, and makes fun of missionary work, it she ghould choose to thus occupy herself. He says sho was Intended for teacher, and not a society woman. For this, again we may thank God, This critic comes like the roaring lon seeking whom he may devour, scoffing at lnnocence and teaching the doctrines of heli itsclr, He says that the Omaba girl will wear an Eaton jacket, shirt walst and russet shocs on Sunday. This is an awful truth, and we must give him the credit of saying it He hits right out from the shouller when he speaks of packing huuse clerks and bank . collectors, and they ‘re not deserving of uny sympathy, as none of them have had the gumption to answer him. 3 3t 1 were a packing house clerk and took criticlsm 50 badly as mauny of thom do I would test the eritic's gentlomanliness and favite him to an “affair" some summer morning at suorise. Yot a little criticlsm like this will do any amount of good, as long as the eritle keeps aloot from weral or rather his lme Sunday school | | moral subjects, He tells the ladies not to marry a man who will wear a sack suit to the opera. This, of course, I8 a little over- drawn, yet it is all the ladies’ fault that men in Omaha do wear morning clothes to the theater, and just as soon as they Insist upon it then we wil see our gentlemen in evening dress after 8 o'clock. In speaking of Crem de Mynt personally I would say that his words should not be taken too serfously, for it is my candid opinion that he is not accountable for what ha says., He is a man who has traveled considerably, ~ but this has not broadencd his mind In the least, and the helght of his conception I8 just such a talk as he gives us in his Dame Grundy article. He jmagines that he Is a second Oscar Wilde, and the Lord knows 1 would never do anything to unde- celve him. It {8 Ju:t as necessary for him to play with his {magination as It is for a little girl to have her doll, or a small boy his marbles. I do not mean to hint that he Is an Idlot, yet he s either dreadfully unbalanced or Is possessed with a mad desire to advertise himselt, And if It were on any other sub- 1 would not be the one to asslst him this scheme of his, yet It has afforded me great pleasure to champlon the young ladies in the case, A. EDWARD MILES. Will Bear Watching. SOUTH OMAHA, June 6.—To the Editor ot The Bee: In publishing such words as those emanating from the pen of Crem de Mynt in criticlsm of Omaba girls, the moral standard of soclety fs not improved. The fusilade of supposedly witty remarks let loose on the character and style of Omaha girls winds up by advising them not to fol- low in the footsteps of their grandmothers. “One uld think,” sald the would-be critic, “that women married for no other reason than to raise children. My dear girls, get those Ideas out of your heads. We do not have marrlages these days; we merely enter Into an alliance. The propagation of the races is left to the classes.”” The virtuous girls of Omaha do not tolerate such diction. Will the young man whom The Bee announces to be an ‘“‘authority on good form,” please present his credentlals? Who ywa 1 wish to know In what that ladies may avofd it. I Judge that he was “raised in the backwoods,” among the chickens to which he compares the walk of the Omaha girls. He is doubtless more familiar with the manner- isms of the village maidens. His fecble at- tempts at brilllancy display a: total ignor- e of the ethics of good breeding. _ He cites New York girls—the chances are that he is lost in the largeness of Omaha, He certainly knows nothing of the culture and elegance of New York City. The would-be authority on good form slurs the shahby street attire of bankers' daughters, whom he avolds. It s a question it he has a bowing acquaintance Witk ona of them or Is possessed of worldly goods sufficlent to afford a change of linen. Let him go whence he came. Does he think he can come here and sling mud at Omaha girls and sneer at sacred marriage ties and adyise us to form “‘alliances,” which is open to several constructions and savors too much of French morals? . His advice, it followed, would soon place girls of virtue upon the plane of the (emi monde. He says, “I mean that the young ladies should not throw themselves away upon thoswe clerks and y-made dudes, even though they may anly fellows; what society wants Is blood.” Of what noble strain of blood is this mud slinger who So thinly vells his natural vul- garity and hopes to create a sensation by airing through the press the cesspool of his thoughts? From the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh. He sneers at Omaha girls as “too innocent to sell themselves for money and position.” He asserts that sacred motherhood is left for the lower clazs. We girls of Omaha have no use for men like him, who voice immoral senti- ments. They are late editions of W. C. Breckinridge. One who gives such ad- vice to young girls as Crem de Mynt has done is not to be trusted. ONE OF THE GIRLS. The Acme of Conceit. OMAHA, June 8—To The Editor of The Bee: The young ladies who constitute and are the leaders of Omaha saciety wers mo- mentarily thrown Into a flutter of excite- ment by the article signed Crem de Mynt in The Bee of last Sunday, written by an al- leged soclety critic. After the:shock, that would naturally strike any person of refine- ment and good common sense, and they had a chance to think the matter over, they all came to the conclusion that the article was written by some Anglomaniac, whose brain would not outweigh that of a hum- ming bird, and that his unmitigated nerve was only exceeded by his slight knowledge of society and domestic felicity, His ideas of manhood and female loveli- ness were plainly set forth.in_his article, and in his opinion it is far better to marry our daughters and sisters who have money, to some son of a defunct blue blooded sire whose highest ambition is to part his hair in the middle and wear the latast cut coat, and the bank clerk and packing house clerk and other young men who have brains enough to earn thelr own living and make a way for themselves in this world are to step aside and let a man who never earned a dollar in his life marry our dear daughters and sisters. The writer of this, although his travels have been limited, has found the society girls in other citles not' so very different nor vastly superior to the Omaha girls. Crem de Mynt's observations are evidently taken exelusively from the street, and it is safe to say he has never entered the home of an Omaha society girl, where had he been he would have found that the elasticity of her step and the appropriateness of her gown would have pleased the most fastidious connolssseur. She knows from observation alone that extreme style is bad form, there- fore when she goes out shopping, for a drive or to church she dresses modestly, be- comingly and comfortably, and even if she does wear a blazer jacket, russet shoes and sallor hat to church, admire her all the more for it. She fs not going out on dress parade; she is going to worship, and her head 15 level, she intends to keeep cool. 1 feel sorry, indeed, for the person who thinks so highly of himselt that he would g0 around the corner rather than meet and speak to any of the Omaha society girls simply because they dressed so shab- bily that his sensitive feelings were shocked and his cffeminate nature outraged. And still, he has the gall to call himself a man. In my opinion, Crem de Mynt is either some conceited ass who is trying to create a sensation by the originality of his pen, or is of the lower order of creation, probably the very thing Darwin looked for.

There are 2,000 persons in Sheridan, Wyo., and there are three school houses, four churches, electricity, water power, two banks, two flour mills, a planing mill, four Notels, two newspapers and a large brewery. And Just the other day there was nothing at all. At least, there were some cattlemen who sald the land was good for grazing. And so 1t was. And for other things. When the farmer comes the cattleman goes. And so the cattleman naturally endeavors to consign good land to an agricultural limbo by saying that it is good for grazing —which is true so far as it goes—thus dis- maying the ploneer farmer. However, Sheridan has passed that stage and is a town, and in a while will be a city. There's a certamty about that. And there are a number of reasons for it. One of theso reasons {s that it will remain practically the terminus of the B. & M. road in that part of the country for a long time to come. It Is a well known fact among western men that it is a great ad- vantage for a young town to be the terminus of a road. And it is also well known that when the road s continued, the business is apt to follow the road and go on to the next town. But the great Crow reservation lies twenty miles north of Sheridan, and as the road runs up into the reservation, and as no town can be built on that, Sheridan will be the center of the territory around her, and has no cause to fear a rival. No town of importance is likely to be built north of her nearer than 100 miles, Sheridan is 700 miles from Omaha and is reached directly by way of the B, & M. But distance in these days of steam is e:timated only by time. It takes only two days to go from Nebraska's ‘metropolis to Sheridan. The first day's ride is spent in passing through one of the most prosperous parts of Nebraska. Then comes the bleak sand hill country, during the passage through which one is fortunately in his berth and sleeping. The arrangements for meals are excellent, and as one stops at the brisk young towns which are the eating stations, he cannot but perceive that he is getting into the heart of the new west—the west of irrigation, en- terprise and electricity. For electricity is used in these 1ew western towns as the old- est and richest cities of the east do not use it. At Edgemont, the leading town of south- western South Dakota, the train enters upon the Black Hills branch of the Burlington, which runs through the beautiful valley of the Cheyenne, passes Newcastle, an impor- tant town, and scurts the fascinating country of the Black Hills. These recede from the line of the road after a time; the Inyan Cara mountains rise and disappear; the Belle Fourche Is crossed; the weird “Devil’s Tower” Is passed; the semi-arld Delf Bush country traversed; the perennial Powder river ‘encountered, and in time the lofty peaks of the Big Horn mountains appear in view. The country is wild and broken for a way, till finally the valley of the Blg Goose creek appears, lying at the foot of the mountains, and with Sheridan in its midst. This is a beautiful valley, hemmed in with mountains, many of them snow-capped, and Intersected with rivers, Sheridan lies at the confluence of the Big Goose' and. the Little Goose creeks, and in_the midst of 80,000 acres of irrigated land. it is almost unnecessary to say that the town was named after the great so'dier of that name. Indeed, the town is one of many mili- tary fraditions. Conner,Custe-, Carlin, Camby, and Carrington streets are all named after generals who have campaigned in that region. And the site of the town has been the home place of the Indians in more than one raid upon the southern country. It was here that the Sioux, Arapahoes and Cheyennes kept their families during the terrible Indian war of 1864 and 1865. Captain H. E. Palmer, the well known insurance man of Omaha, has been associated with that district in its say- age days, and during the summer of 1865, when it took 2,500 men to guard the mall between Omaha and Denver, Captain Palmer was detached from the command of his com- pany A, Eleventh Kansas cavalry and as- signed to duty as acting assistant adjutant general of the district of the plains, in which there were at that time 17,000 troops, among which there was a New York regiment, part of a Virginia regiment, the Sixth Michigan cavalry, the Eleventh and Twelfth Missouri, the Eleventh and Sixteenth Kansas, the Sec- ond Colorado, part of the Second California cavalry, part of the Seventh Iowa cavalry and other troops. The territory in the immediate vicinity of Sheridan has long been known as the gréat hunting ground and the paradise, as it were, of tho Indians. Every attempt at settlement of the cauntry has been opposed by them. The fearful Phil Kearney massacre, where Colonel Fetterman and ninety-three soldiers were killed, occurred twenty miles south of Sheridan in December, 1886. The famous Custer massacre, where the gallant Custer and 300 of his men fell, occurred seventy miles north of Sheridan. The Tongue river battle ground, August 20, 1865, where Gen- cral Connor Whipped 700 Indians, killing 130 and capturing 1,100 ponfes, was fought ten miles north of ‘Sheridan. Captain Palmer was in this fight and, returning in the spring of 1866, he made the attempt to become tho first settler in this country, was captured in July, 1866, by the Indians and held a pris- oner several wegks, then liberated and forced to walk through®to Montana. Afterwards in 1881 he associated himself in the cattle busi- ness with T. L. Kimball, then general man- ager of the Union Pacific road, and G. W. Holdrege, general manager of the B. & M. road, their ranch being located just north of the present town site of Sheridan. For ten years the town grew very slowly, supported by ranchmen, and galning its pop- ulation from emigrants who wended their way to that far distant country in “prairie schooners.”” The railroad srsc made its ap- pearance at Sheridan in December, 1892, In August of the same year the Sheridan Land company was organized, the three principal stock- holders being Mr. T. L. Kimball, then vice president of the Union Pacific, G. W. Hol- drege, general manager of the B. & M. road, and Captain H. E. Palmer, together with three citizens of Sheridan, Messrs. Whitnoey, Alger and Grinnell. They were joined in the enterprise by Michael Cudahy, the pork packer, John Cudahy, his brother, P. B. Weare, the elevator man of Chicago, C. N. Diotz and H. F. Cady. wholesale lumber- men of Omaha. This company owns 640 acres of the town site. The town is beauti- fully situated, and, though the times have been fearfully tight financially, it has grown by the efection of first class brick buildings and fine dwellings to a city of fully 2,000 people. The Sheridan inn, built by the Sheridan Land company, the architect of which was Thomas R. Kimball of Omaha, is built on the North of England plan and is an ele- gant hotel, lighted by electricity and heated by oteam, and Is now kept by the W. F. Cody Hotel company, our “Buffffalo Bill of the famous Wild West smow,” who has lately made some very large investments in and about Sheridan. He is establishing a stage line over the Blg Horn mountains to the Big Horn basin, thence to the Yellow- stone park. Sheridan, like Denver, 1s situated fourteen miles from the mountains. The mountains are covered with bewutiful pine and spruce trees, and are full of wonderful canons and ravines. Every canon and ravine has a brook, creek or siver, and nearly every one of them is filled with trout. There are hundreds of beautiful lakes in the mous talns. Dome Lake, twenty-two miles as the Dird files from Sheridan, and Ten Slcep lake, forty miles away, being the largest. Dome Lake Is 9,000 feot above the sea. The moun- of elk, deer and mountain grouse. There fs no finer counfry in the world for camping ok fishing parties. The cholce season fs July, August and September, From September to the 1st of June the mountain peaks are covered with snow, some of them Laving snow all the year around. It is only ffty-five miles from Sheridan to the Big Horn Basin. The principal fishing streams near Sherls | [ w0l dan are Big and Litt)e. Piney, Big and Little Goosa, throe forksof, Wolt creek, North and South Forks (of Tengue river, Lodge Grass, Little Horn wad JBig Horn rivers. Packing houses are spon to be erected In the city. For, while the farmer has forced the cattleman offt tho ranges, ho has only confined him to tha, magnificent ranches of the country, and cpitie. and hogs are, and will long continue, to. be among the chief products. Bonds have been voted for water works, and the city 1s s00n tosbe supplied with the crystal water from the mountain streams. Electricity is already {n public buildings, on the streots and ini ‘@welling houses, and when street cars ave noeded, will, no doubt, bo the motor power. The B. & M. road has made this a main division point, and their general superin- tendent s located there. It will be the diverging point as well for two great branches of the road, one to the Puget und country, the other to the Big Horn basin, Yellowstone park, Boise City and San Francisco. Large shops will soon be erected by the line at Sheridan. Tho cost of living at Sheridan is not as great as in many western towns. Garden stuff, stable food products, including beet and pork, are right at the door. Land is not cheap, for it is too fine to be allowed to go for a song, but the price is reason- able. The country has proved to be one of the finest grain countries in the world. This is & large statement. But it is a fa that the production per acre of whew!, vats, barley, alfalfa, corn ani thn)'az, has been unprecedented. It is, howerir, better country for wheat thin tor corn. wheat that took the first premium at the World's fair was raised by A. A, Lambrigser on his farm, ten miles soath of Sheridan. This varlety of wheat is named “Wyoming Am- ber,” ‘yielded forty-five bushels to the acre and weighed sixty-six pounds to the bushel. Wild hops grow plentifully and it Is prob- able that tame hops can be rased Vegetables, small fruits and apples grow excellently. "Already the young apple or- chards are bearing. In a country where the sunshine can be depended upon and where the water can be had by opening a gate, and the quantity can be calculated to a niceity, there is mo fear of the fallure of crops. What the potentialities of the mountains are no man may know as yet. Up at Bald mountain there is placer mining, the gold is taken out with the ald of an amalgator and the production {s rich considering that thus far the work has been largely ex- perimental. Gold bearing quartz has also been discovered. But who can say what wealth these mountains may contain? Sheri- n, like Denver, may build herself up out of the mountains. The whole country is sald to be under- fald with lignite coal, and the veins are being worked by the Sheridan Fuel company, of which Dietz and Cady are more than half owners. The coal is excellent for the mak- ing of steam, but is not particularly good for coking, although the introduction of a washing plant is expected to remove this de- fect. The present output of the Cambria mines is 1,400 tons per day, which could be readily increased to 2,000 should the de- mand require it. The present proddction of coke fs about fifty tons per day. The coal is richer in bi-products than almost any coal in the United States. The climate is one of the foremost at- tractions, and while the town is not, and does not espectally desi¥e at present, to be a resort for invalids, it is nevertheless a fact that persons suffering, from consumption, bronchitis or catarrh find quick relief, and in_most cases, absolute cure. The mountains along the timber line are ocovered with pines of the sort that lumber men prize. Spruge.and cedar also grow there, and along the staeams are groves of cottonwood, ash, ironwgod and boxelder, There is also byilding stone of the very best quality—granite, sandstone, limestone, gypsum, marble and an excellent quality ot white lime, These things, taken in connec- tion with the timbet, olight to afford a suffi- cient variety of halitatioh vo_suit anyone. Not the least notable thing about Sheridan is its beautiful. surrolindings. The moun- tains lie_roundabout,” delicately colored as clouds, shutting in“thé" fertile valley. The irrigating ditches /aré’ fed from a source which never fails’'afid 'the: fields of grain make the whole viilley" green. The sky is a cloudless orie. The weather may some- times roar, but it never suiks. The drizzle and the fog are unknown. It is an exhiler- ating ‘place—a place where men feel like exercising all the energy they have, and where it seems much easier to succeed than to fail.
