6 SOCIETY HAS T0 HURRY UP Affairs Oome Bo Fast that the Smart let Oan Hardly Do Them All MISS EDITH SMITH THE ATTRACTION Coming Week Will Be Full of Things Given in Honor of Her Approach- ing Wedding to Lien. tenant Day. A prominent soclety woman, whose grac- fousness and ability as a musician has fre- quently made her an attractive sacrifice at gatherings given for the benefit of charity and the like, was asked recently to play at & public reception, an annual affair that al- ways attracts a large fashionable gather- ing. She smiled approvingly as the “chair- man of the committee” oxplained her plan and then sald: “Yes, indeed. 1dea of having music an excellent one. The very sound of it seems to inspire those women to sociability, making them quite forget themselves and chatter at a rate that drowns out everything clse. It frequently reminded me of the effect a sewing machine has on a canary bird. Do have music, by all means—but I must beg to be excused—I would suggest a planola.” Not a little interest is being manifested among the fraternity people and former pl- pils of the State university in the junior prom., which occurs in Lincoln February 7, and it is probable that a large party of Omaha people will attend. The junior prom. 1s among the fashionable social functions of Lincoln and attracts a gather ng of fraternity people from all over th state. At least one set of fashionables i going 10 be taxed to accomplish all that has boen | ten days | scheduled for it during the next and not a few promise to find themselves in the trying position of being compelled to make a choice between prefercnce and the advisable thing. Fortunately a good sharc of the affairs planned are in honor of one young woman, and so will come one at a time and thus avert a repetition of what happened last week, on Thursday. Every- body seemed Inspired to entertain that day, and though the average woman can accom- plish at least one luncheon and an incred- fble number of teas, receptions and the like, in one afternoon, it is a serions matter if any considerable numtar of luncheons or card parties happen to fall on the same day, for unless the hostesses happen to be the most tactful creatures in the world and the Invited women possessed of an equal amount of tact, “‘conscquences” are inev- table—to somebody at least. Of course the dinner at the Omaha club will be the largest thing on Monday, though Mrs. Arthur Crittenden Smith's luncheon for Miss Edith Smith will be the :nterest- ing feature of the day. On Tuesday Miss Helen Cady gives another luncheon for Miss Smith at 1 o'clock and in the evening Miss Lydla Moore entertains a chafing dish sup- per in her honor; Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Rich- ardson will entertain a card club in the evening. On Wednesday Mrs. Edward Peck and Miss Peck will entertain at 1 o'clock Juncheon for Miss Smith. On Thurscay Miss Smith will again be the guest of honor first, at a luncheon to be given at Forest Hill by Miss Cotton, and in the evening at & dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lo- max and Miss Lomax; Mrs. Horace G. Burt will entertain the Creche luncheon, and in the afteternoon the Debutantes' Cooking club will meot at the home of Miss Hitch- cock. On Friday Mrs. Coffman gives a luncheon for Miss Smith and in the even- Ing the ushers of the Day-Smith wedding party entertain the other members of the party at a box party to see “The Little Duchess.” The theater party will be fol- lowed by a supper at the home of Mr. Hal Yates. On Saturday evening Miss Webster and Miss Stanton entertain at 9 o'clock coffee at Miss Webster's home for Miss Smith; the Winfleld club gives a dancing party in the evening at letropolitan club. The South Side Whist club was de- lightfully entertained on Tuesday after- noon at the home of Mrs. J. B. Blanchard, on Georgla avenue, the game being followed by refreshments. The prizes of the after- noon were awarded to Mrs. Nettle Smith and Mrs. Marty. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Tippery, 218 North Twenty-third street, on Tuesday, January 27. ‘The “Strollers” were the guests of Mrs. Heelan at 1 o'clock luncheon on Wednes ay, the afternoon belng spent at card Mrs. Schmeltzer and Mrs. Ferrell winning the priz Mrs. Robert R.

F. Weaver at 228 South Thirty- first avenue. For the last year the women of the first named department have held fortnightly kensington afternoons for the E—————— VALUE OF TESTIMONY Greater Than Assertion. There s none of us so hardened but that when we have been ablo to afd our fellow creatures by conferring a benefit or bring- ing a little comtort into their lives we like to have appreciation shown. This generally affords more pleasure than the performance of the act ftself, and in this connectlon the tollowing letter from a Texas lady is of moro than usual interest: “Dear Friends: for you have been such to me. I suffered tor three years off and on with piles. I was treated at the hospital, and the new and elegant hospital of Memphis; they only gave me temporary rellef. I came west thinking the change of air and water would benefit me; five months ago the bleeding piles came back on me and bled so much that I thought I would die. “1 have had four of the finest doctors in this section of Texas; all they did was to finally nearly let me go to my grav all they wanted was & big sum of money trom me and to operate on me. I said no, Do surgeoa's knife would enter me; was my time to dle God knew it, and when 1dled I would die all together. “I began hearing about your medicine. 1 had Do faith in you, but 1 sent and got a box of your Pyramlid Pile Cure; in two days the blood flow had slackened to one-halt the amount, and in one week I folt so much better I walked four blocks and did a lttle housework.

I shall never cease to recommend your medicine or be without it; also I used your Pyramid Pills. Sallie A Hearndon, Paris, Tex." Testimony like this (for the genuineness of which we vouch) should be more con- vincing than all clalms and assertions, and should leave no doubt in the mind of the reader a8 to the merit of the remedy.

Bldg, BIGGEST GUN PROVES SUCCESS Three Shots Fired Cannon All Prove Estimates Accurate. 550 Ramge from Monster NEW YORK, Jan, 17.—The most power- ful gun ever huflt in America, a huge six- teen-inch coast defense rifle, was success- fully tested at the government proving ground, Sandy Hook, today. The gun was fired three times in the presence of sev- eral hundred army officers, a few civillans and one representative of the legislative branch of the government, Congressman Gillette of Massachusetts. Among the officers present were Gen- eral Chaffee, who was recelved with a salute, as commander of the department of | the east; General Crozler, chiet of ord- ! nance; Colonel Greenough, Major Pratt, General Duffington, retired; Colonel Thomas H. Parry, Colonel C. P. Parry, Colonel T. J. Mansfleld of the Army Board of Engi- | neers, and Colonel Farley of the ordnance | depar‘ment, who superintendéd the con. struction of the gun at Waterville, L. 1., arsenal. The three tests were marked by the | wonderful accuracy with which they ful- filled the mathematical calculations of the army experts who had charge of the con- struction. The three shots also proved that the epecial smokeless powder, mads for sixteen-inch guns, had been accurately preparad. The first shot was a sort of “warmer. The charge was 550 pounds of smokeless powder, and the veloeity of the 2,400-pound projectile when it left the muzzle wi 2,003 feet a second. The pressure In ex- plodiug was 25,000 pounds to the square inch. For the eecond shot the full charge of 640 pounds was used and the velocity was £,806, or six feet more than calculated The pressure was 38,000 pounds to the square inch. The elevation of the muzzle for the first and second shots was 1% de- grees and the ranges were 3,000 and 3,500 yards. For the final ehot the muzzle was eles vated to 4% degrees, increasing the range to 7,000 yards. The velocity of this shot was not taken. The charge was 640 pounds of smokeless powder and the pressure was 38,500 pounds to the square inch. All the shots recocheted two or three times on the water, sending up great fountains of spray. General Crozier sald that the tests showed that the gun was an absolute success and proved that sixteen-inch guns could be | furnished whenever the country wanted | them. Congressman Gillette doubted that | any more would be bullt, a number ot | smaller guns belng considered more et- | fective than one big weapon. | General Crozier said while its range at its highest elevation was about twenty miles, it could be used 6 hit objects only | at a distance of four or five miles, as ob- jects further away could not be seen.

Are PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17.—John Mitchell, president of the mine workers, deilvered today what he belfeved would be his fare- well address to the strike commission. The Scranton Coal company closed its case dur- and was followed by Delaware, Lackawanna & Western ra It was while the latter company was examining witnesses that the hour for adjournment arrived, and Mr. Mitchell asked to be permitted to address the ar- bitrators Mitehell's Last Ay ing the th wi session today s rance All the attorneys crowded around him as he prefaced his remarks by saying it would probably be the last session of the investi- gation he would be able to attend.

I do not belfeve lawless organizations ever won a strike. 1 do not be lawlessne great extent deters men from working.

If the people of the country are not in sym- pathy with it, it must fail and I am sure the sympathy’ of the people will never be with those who violate the law. There 18 one other question that T feel it is my duty to speak of. As the commission is no doubt aware, several days ago 1 ad- dressed a_communication to all the anthra- cite miners, urging them to co-operate with the management of the mines, In increasing the output for the purpose of relieving the terrible suffering due to the coal famine. right they I have since heard from a large number | of our local unfons and in nearly every In- stance the miners tell me that the produc- of coal cannot be increased through any effort of theirs. Trat in most cases the companies are failing to furnish them as many cars as they would load. words, ‘the regular turn of cars will not amount to much as the men are ac- omed and willing to 1oad, so that they )t increase the output of the mines. In some few cases they say they could and have agreed to do so. Major Everrett, who represents several coal companies before the commission, In- | terrupted Mr. Mitchell and requested him to bring proof of the assertions he had made. The companies, he said, had in- formation to the contrary and they would show that the men did not and were not willing to load as many cars as they could be furnished with. Men Clamor for Work, In reply to this Mr. Mitchell said: I am not attempting, of course, to testify us a witness in the matter. 1 am giving the sources of my information in each case. 1 do not say this for the purpose of placing the responsibility on anybody else. fact of the matter is, my information would indicate that it 18 impossible to move more coal. The miners tell me the tracks are congested with loaded cars of coal at the mines, I want to say this, in connection with it, that we have 3,000 men who were on strike that have been €0 far refused the right to work. They are ready to inine coal. There Is a shortage of coal in the country and I belleve that both the miners nd the operators arc doing what they can ) get It out of the mines, but they can at least increase it to the extent of putting our 8,000 men at work, whom they agreed to start to work when they submitted to this commission and agreed to ablde by the decision of the commission. We have walted patiently, since the re- sumption, for our men to be placed back in the mines. We believe they ought to be glven work. We do not want to and will not cause trouble at the mines, but will do all we can to prevent ii, but I want | the commission to understand that the men who have been dle all this time are getting impatient. They are writing every day asking if somcthing cannot be done to secure them work. They are charged, of course, with belng criminals. It is alleged they left their jobs, and all that, but if they are going to have a term of peace for rome years in the anthracite flelds It seems to me they ouglit to stop Aghting now and any desire to punish men by the companies ought to cease. We are willing and anxious to gt nlong in harmony with those in the elds and will do all we can to estab- vod relationship and we hope the coal operators will mcet us half way In doing that State: t for Lackawanna, Mr. Wilson presented the case of the Lackawanna as follows Mr. man and Gentlemen of the Com- mission—The Delaware, Lackawanna Western railroad will show that the mine employes our company, prior to the strike of 1900, were contented, that the re- latlons of employer and employe were amicable and friendly to a marked degree, that repeated conferences have taken place between the officlals of our company and its employes in which any matters at vari- ance Letween them have been adjusted without friction, and t the employes have always Tecélved Wages commensurate with their dv and responsibilities.

Use of Kentucky Methods. Concerning this proposed policy of re- taliation Mr. Wolcott, In his address to the republicans, say The threatened importation Into the state by the democrats of the bloody methods which have forever blackened ~the good name of the state of Kentucky must not swerve us. The patriotic republicans in the state senate are loyal to their party and they are able, backed by a republican governor, to take care of themselves. Many of the seventeen republican mem- bers of the house who are opposed to Wol cott's clection are pledged to not vote for him under any circumstances and will not joln in a caucus for the purpose of select- ing a senatorial candidate. If the republican factions fail to get to- gether Senator Teller will be re-elected, or | & deadlock will result which may prevent an clection of senator at this session.” The house committee on elections will make its report on the contested seats next Monday and it is the intention of the re- publicans to have it acted upon by the house on that day, as the first ballot for senator will be taken next Tuesday.
