There is something exciting In riding on nn engine , osoculallv as U was In charge of En gineer Fr nk BunjainUi luul Fireman William A. McDowell , for the sense of security was paramount to the thought that something might happen with such novices on boar t who never drove im.vtliitu : but a No. 'J !

At West Side the special train was met by the delegation sent nut by the Omaha Press club to moot the members of the Writers' league , and the ride into Onmba was full of Incidents which will fun.lih excellent ma terial for bricbt letters to the various Jour nals represented. The train , which was In charge of Mr. An drews of the Northwestern from Chicago , Phil Pickering , the veteran engineer , having the. safety of the passengers In his keeping , consisting of six vosilbulod coichos , each bearing on its letter boards tbo inscription , "lutornnUonnl Leutruo of Press Clubs. " In addition to thcso coaches there was a buffet smoker , a dining car , a compartment car and three sleepers with staterooms , furnished by the Wagner company. There wa * also u bath room and a barber shop aboard tno train , besides a stenographer and typewriter , whoso solo mission was to Measo tuo dolcgatos aboard. ' Not content with the perfection of these nrrnncements , the train was under the per sonal supervision at M. C. Roaob , general superintendent of the Now York Central , as faros Chicago ; W. H. Underwood , eastern passenger agent of the Michigan Central , who cumo on with the excursion as far as the World's ' Pair city : C. L.

The run from West Side to the metropolis of Nebraslm was without incident , except that Marshall P.

Upon schedule time tbo train pulled into Omaha , the engine furnishing the motlvo- power to the truln being the first Northwestern - orn locomotive to cross tbo Union Pacific bridge. At the station the train was boardad by Wr.

At TUP. BKK building a number of the active workers upon the dally and weekly papers wore congregated to extend hosplta- blo reelings to tlio visiting press mon and women. AVulcoiiKMl Thrm Ili-iirtlly. After a short period of mutual interchange of greetings Mr. Uosowator , editor of THE BII : , ascended the stops in the court of the Dulluincr and extended to tbo visitors a nearly welcome to Omaha. Ho spoke of the general lack of detailed knowledge In the east of western ntTalrs. Omaha's growth from Iho outpost of civilization thirty years ago to the midway metropolis of today was referred to as an evidence of the mighty energy and force of the poopln of the west. \Vbon the fire proof building for the Now York Tribune was projected U was looked upon as so extremely chimerical that many oi'.osllouod the sanity of the projector. But now ho hud the pleasure of welcoming them to n tire proof building which covered 4,000 square feet more than the Tribune building , and , so far ns ground space goes , Is today the largest newspaper building in tbo world. This shows the growlb of the western news- "Wo have built beyond the pjirar. tuny ro- nulromonts , " said Mr , Hosewator , "but 1 think not. The constant growth of this city and llio grnni wcsijuslllles the erection of this Htructuro ns n permanent homo for Tim IIK. ! " Ho thanked tlio delegates for the call. In behalf of Iho Iloara of Trade , Socroiarv Nnson extended ttio freedom of the city to the ladles and gonllomon composing the In ternational League of Press Clubs. He itutvu that Omaha was the gateway between the commerce of the east and the products of tbu wo.su lie luld of Omaha's crcatnoss ns in agricultural center nnd eave statistics to snow the important position which Uio Gate Ctty occupied In Iho commercial world , "closing with the following thought : "Wo liopo you will carry away pleasing recol lections of our city nnd Its Insiltutions ami that your Journey through our state and visit to other cities won will unfold to you the immense resources which will sustain the grout population that will accumulate hero in the years to come , but afford ample means tot your individual pleasure nnd enjoyment and that you will enjoy a afo return to your several homoi , " .Mls Until riold'n ItosponHf.

There U not a dark room lu it , but It you know Mr. Koio- water ns well as I do , this would not surprise you In .tho least. Ho is a man of tremonilous force , and I would advlro you if you want to got anything out of Nebraska to nmko friends with Mr. Kosowator.

Upon Iho conclusion of the spcoch-maklng tliu visitors were piloted to the rooms of the Press club on the sovenlh floor where the members bors of tbo organisation dispensed punch and a light luncheon , an orchestra of four pieces playing a program of chamber music through out the hours the rooms were occupied by tbo visitors.

I never made so cotnfortablo a Journey in all my llfo. The Now York Central has cer tainly outdone Itself in Iho accommodations ns furnished the members o' the Interna tional Longuo of Press Clubs , " said ICnto Field."and In the attention which its officers , especially detailed to accompany us , extended to ono and nil. Not only were Ihorc all the necessities of llfo , but all Ibo luxuries that : nro possible upon wheels. The service Is most admirable , and altogether If our tour continues to be as charming as it has be un , 1 think I shall have every reason to shako hands with myself for having dhoboyod tbo advice of some of my boat friends rind loft Washington at the height ot the season. People seem to forgot that the Pacific const today is only the distance of the tele graph from the Atlantic seaboard and that wherever \vobtop wo roua a metropolitan journal born on the spot. For example , yesterday wo got our news direct from Washincton in the Chicago papers. Today wo are kept au courant with everything national by reading the papers of Omaha. TUB BKE consoles mo for my absence by recording nothing that reouiros personal presence at the capital , nnd so I nm inclined lo think that it Is not so dlfllcult nowadays to edit a paper , provided it is not a daily paper , at a distance. A feature of this excursion which ought not to bo forgotten is that for the first tinio in the history of Journalism women uro of ficially recognized and send their delegates just as freely as their brothers. This de parture. I nm told , originated with the presi dent of the International Loagno of Press Clubs , Mr. T. J. ICeennn of tbo Pitts burgh Press nnd was ably seconded by Mr. Foster Coalos nf Iho Now York Mall and Express. As u woman , I do think I should bo very ungrateful If I did not acknowledge this fact whenever I have an opportunity , nud mv earnest hope is that the International Lencuo of Press Clubs will never regret havine done justice to one-half of the human race I do not call It the boiler half , because I think that mon and women are oternallv equal , but being eternally different I do not think that ono represents the other. For this reason I think that their presence In journalism will bo n great advantage , not or.ly to their sex , but to humanity. Words fall lo express our appreciation of the concrosity ot the citizens of Omaha , nnd ns for tbo buildinc In which wo are congre gated it needs no words of mine. It praise Cajsar , say Cicsar. The building of Tin : O.MUIA BII : speaks for itself. KATK FICI.P , Editor Kate Field's Washington. A Trip of Kilucutliin. Perhaps the most amazing part of the trln of the delegates lo Iho Intel-national League of Press Clubs Is the fact that not 10 per cent .of the ladles and gentleman , who cnmo from what Is still termed tbo east , bad over sot foot in either of the cities of Chicago , Omaha , Denver or San Francisco. This trip is ono of education , particularly to the news paper mon and women to whom Now York nnd the extreme east seems to bo nil there is in the world , with occasional flirtations with the effete monarchies of the old world. Wo are going through the west , not only tor the purpose of strengthening this league ana making the brotherhood of man nnd newspaper progress moro than an nrilhtnotto phrase , but wo are going to study tbo great newspaper offices and tbo great cities that stand all along our routes as sentinels of the progress that the American people are capa ble of making in the course of a few yonrs , Nothing has surprised our company so much as the magnificent BKK office. As an old nowsrapor worker of twonly years almost of experience in Iho editorial chair , I know a good newspaper oflico when I see It , anil I know a good newspaper when I sec It , and although I am very familiar with Tun Bui : and the work it is doing , I sav hi all frankness , I am amazed at its splendid homo and its surroundings. When wo return to the east wo will know bettor than we ever know before that there Is no rivalry , except the rivalry of ono great family , between all Ihoso elites , and wo will look back through all our lives with great pleasure to the magnificence of this trip and io the gonlal hospitality thnt has been ex tended to us , and in no city has that boon done lo a greater extent than by the press and people of Onmha. I speak for all our people when I say wo would be very clad of another opportunity to pav Omaha a visit. FOtrKII COVTES , Managing Editor Now York Mull nnd Ex press. Wllllnm WlliloN IVlloltiitloiH.

I rejoice lo think that the league will prove a veritable link of love between all of us who , through our craft of journalism , nro liAleed the winged messengers of the gods , and I echo the voice of many writers over Iho seas when 1 thus gratefully nnd fra ternally snluto you , I specially desire lo record thnt one of the very best "shining hours" I have passed has boon lu tbo good company of your own "busy bees , " in whoso hlvo 1 have renewed some old , and 1 trust laid the foundation of some now friendships.

In the first place wo have had the most de lightful companionship and the greatest amount of attention on tho. trio. Wo have enjoyed every luxury possible and the rail way officials mndo us so comfortable thnt xvo almost felt as if wo were in our own homes. In fact I regard it as ijulto au ideal trip. I was in Omaha fourteen vcars ago , under somewhat similar circumstances , that is , Mr. Frank Leslie nnd I had a prlvnto cur , which was built for the late ompcror of Brazil. Wo took with ns a party of artists , litcratours and photographers , who were engaged to get up illustrations for my book , "From Got hum to tbo Uolden Gate. " It was Just after Iho boom when wo caino here and ovcrylhing was almost at a stand still , stores closed , grass growing in the streets , etc. The citizens seemed yory de spondent , and were afraid tbat they had put the cart before the horse. By and by thov got over the vnnlty of looking today with the nyes of tomorrow. I look upon Omaha as a beautiful unfarmod girl , a ocdy girl perhaps , butgiving promise of so much tbat I long to como oark and sen the promise rcali/cd ; see the pretty girl developed Into a magnificent woman. TUB liKr. is not only a great credit to the city , out to mo It Is a perfect surprise. I llko the way the editorial rooms are divided and the arrangements of all the other de partments. \ \ o in the east can all learn a great deal of tbo west in regard to making things comfortable for Iho employes. In TUP. BER bUldlng them is such an ex cellent system of lighting , hcatinr nnd vcntl- lallon that If the newspaper men do not do good work It is not because the proprietors do not give them comfortable and pleasant surrounding. You have moro banks , I think , In n given space Of ground than I have observed In anv other city of the west , which elves mo the Impression thai you must have great wealth stored away In your city.

I would not bo a woman if I did not thank THE O\t MIA Bni : nud all its attaches for its courtesies and kindness In giving mo , ns an humble worker in our common pro fession an opportunity to study the methods of ono of the host equipped newspaper offices that I hays soon in America or during a long residence abroad. I nm not so mucn of n woman's rights woman as some of my other sisters , but I bo- llovo the time has como when nil the world will recognize that there is no sex In brains. The women workers in Journalism have made .so many rapid advances during the past few years ttiut bo would bo n wise man who could predict what they would not do in the future. The field is unlimited , the women are ready for the work , it is the bo- sinning of a new day for the workers of 'tho pen in the profession of letters.

The Boston delegation Joined the expedi tion by the "skin of their tooth , " for they were two hours nnd forty-flvo minutes late when they got to Now York. And whntn loss there wnuld have been had they got left ! The trip has been a series of troais. The cuuipment of the Irain alone makes Iho trip too short , for it is simply unsurpassable and the "grub" boats Delmonico all hollow. The visit to the Chicago Herald gave new ideas of newspaper surroundings , and the experi ence in Omaha was a revolution of what the west could do for the newspaper worker. Such experiences fully warrant the organiza tion of such a body as our league and the competition for places on the delegation will bo very keen In Iho future. The whole trip and its lessons must bear rich fruit and can never bo forgotten. JACOII C. MOUSE , Boston Herald. IMttsbtirff Press S , ys : i Woril. I am greatly impressed with the magnifi cent hospitality of the western cities , and I cannot say too much in tbnnks for tbo un failing courtesy tbat has boon ours from the moment wo left New York. As a newspaper editor I doslro to pay my tribute to THE OMIIA BCK for an opportunity to look inrough aud study a newspaper ottlco that all newspaper workers should be proud of. of.Wo shall take back with us much that is helpful and new ideas gleaned from these western fields that will bo beneficial hi mak ing our own newspapers moresuccessful. This trip , to ray view , is the bediming of a now era In journalism. The Interna tional League of Press clubs has bocun well. It will do bettor in the future , oecatuo the Press club of Omaha and all ils members and all Iho newspapers of Ibo city have given us unlimited opportunity to study huw great newspapers uro conducted in a broad , manly , aggrus.sivo and enjurlncr wav.
