eminent military light * was a guest yester
day at Fort Omalu. Inspected Fort Crook ,
and late In the afternoon , previous to hla
lenrliiR for Fort Nlobrara , wus met by rep
resontatlve citizens at the Omaha club.
Never before has the metropolis of Ne
braska been honored by the visit of a lieu
tenant general , and In consequent the In
fantry arm of the servlca hereabouts ex
tended a most enthusiastic welcome to the
grizzled veteran , who , turned G3 , will ictlrc
from the service of the United States next
September with the highest military tllla
la the gift of the citizens of America.
At an early hour yesterday Miornir.c ; Lieu
tenant General John M. Schoflcld and party
arrived from Fort Leavemvorth ever the
Durllngton , traveling In Chicago , Ilnrllngton
& Qulncy car 200 , known as the directors'

WELCOMED TO THE DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding the early hour of the gen
eral's arrival , he was met at the depot by
Acting Adjutant General Crowder , Colonel
Dates , commandant at Furt Omaha , and \
Lieutenant Uonham , and welcomed to the
purlieus of the Department of the Platto.
After some little delay the special car con
taining the distinguished party was set In
on the Missouri Pacific tracks on the west
side of the Webster street station , from
which point the head of the mll.tary depart
ment of the government was conveyed to
Thirtieth street , where carriages were taken
to Fort Omaha.
To hundreds who lined the broad roadway
to the fort the visit of a l.outenant general
was of extraordinary Importance , and to
hundreds nho wearing the blue of the army
It was their first glimpse of so eminent a mil
itary light.
Not since the days of Sheridan have any of
the great ones of military history held this
most distinguished title , and It came to
Sheridan almost at the hour when his soul
was wafted over the bar. And so. too , It
came to Schofleld , after five years of earnest
effort , when the last stroke of the clock
echoed the death knell of the Fifty-third con
gress ,
REVIEWED THE HLUECOATS.
General Schofleld , arrayed In all the
panoply to which three stars on his epaulettes
entitle him , with the broad gold sash of the
commanding general of the army of the
United States , created enthusiasm as he was
driven up the avenue of shade trees leading
to the reviewing stand at Fort Omaha , whlcli
on this occasion was a hillock overlooking
the parade ground from the west entrance.
With him In the open carriage were his
young wife and his military secretary , Colonel
Sanger , who has seen over thirty years ol
active service , llehlnd the general word the
offlcoM of the garrison , Colcnel SchofieU
Captain Pitcher , Major Crowder and a goodlj
number of civilians , drawn thither by tin
extraordinary vlstt.
Never has the Second Infantry presented
so handsome an appearance as when tht
boys In blue flleJ past the lieutenant Ben
oral , who looked every Inch the hero , as will
uncovered head ho recognized the salutes o
his ofllccrs rnd men.
Hardly Jiad the salute of fifteen guns dlei
away among the bluffs to the eastward whet
Colonel Hates gave the signal to wheel Inti
line and to the Inspiring strains of the Man
Imttan Dcach march the Second regiment
ono of the crack organizations of the army
moved paat the reviewing stand. It was
picture such as ono sees but few times In
busy life. When the colors came In fron
not only was "Old Glory" saluted by tin
military , but almost every civilian prescn
doffed his hat In honor of the stars an.
stripes , a mast pleasing Incident of a morn
Ing full of Interest to those actively partlcl
paling In the welcome to General Schofleld
RECEPTION AT THE FORT.
Upon the termination of the re-flew Colone
Bates placed his bachelor apartments at th
eervleo of his superior officer , and hero fo
an hour a reception was held , delightful I
its Informality. The laJles , as well as th
officers of the garrUon , were present , whll ;
the Second Infantry band on the lawn playe
a well selected program of concert music.
At 12:30 : the party , largely augmented b
this time , General and MrsMandcrson , Mi (
and Mrs. J. N. II. Patrick , Mr. Harrlger , Mi (
Sit * J. O. Phllllppl of the Missouri Pacific , Mi
J. Fred Scolt of the Santa Fe , having Jolne
the delegation , left for Fort Crook , wher
the general gave close attention to the bullil
Ings and features of the new post. He ha
the most enthusiastic word , ] of praise fo
all that Is being done at Fort Crook , ante
to a little coterie of friends he drew graphl
pictures of his early career anil the prlva
tions In the army. In contrast with the ad
vantages now enjoyed by the enlisted mci
Ho was pronounced. In his opinion of th
character of the work being done and showe
great Interest lu the Inspection of the bai
rackd and guard house , which seemed larg
enough to encompass a whole regiment.
Between the hours of 4 and 5 Gener
Schofleld was mot at the Omaha club by
delegation of representative citizens , amen
them General Mandcrson. Dr. George It. Mi
ler , Herman Kountze , Frank Murphy , E
ward Rosewater , George Darker , Euclid Mai
tin , Judge Ambrose. Tlio extension of tl
Department of the Platte to Its former boui
dary. Including Utah and Colorado , was dl
cussed. General Manderson , who did vet
much to cecuro the appropriation for tl
now fort and the permanent location of tl
corral , was the spokesman on this occaslo
Ho recltej at some length the advantagi ;
to be derived from an extension of the precut
cut lines of the department ; told of I
strategic position and Its easy accessibility.
SUGGESTION MET WITH FAVOR.
To this General Schoflcld gave an attentl'
ear , later remarking that he had felt for son
tlmo the necessity of enlarging the presei
Department of the Platte , but that condltloi
had seemingly made It Impossible of belr
carried out. He thought , however , that (
his return to Washington something , mis
bo done toward the end outlined by the gc
tlemcn waiting upon him.
Ho confessed that his present trip to tl
military posts of the United States was f
the express purpose of hearing all questloi
In relation to said posts and to Inspect the
with a view of making some recommcndatlo
to the prcs dent and secretary of war on li
return to Washington.
- "As you know , " said he , "I go upon tl
retired list In September , and It Is for tl
purpose of a final report to the executl
head of the government that this visit
being made. I shall be pleased to take i
the matter with the secretary upon my r
turn. "
This Interview was regarded as very sa ;
Isfactory by the comm.ttee. Luncheon w
then served and from S until 7 the genei
and his Immediate party were taken on i
hurried tour of the city by Mr. Nals Patrlc
later light refreshments being aerved

LEFT FOR FOIIT NIODRARA.
At 8 o'clock last night the general left ov
the Elkhorn for Fort Nlobrara , which w
be Inspected th ; morning. From there t
party will go to Meade , then to Fort Cust
and back to Fort Robinson , lleyond this ,
the genfrral said , he was a creature of fane
NOT A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
On his arrival In the morning the genei
was seen by a lire representative a
said that the talk of his Incoming a prei
deatlal candidate was a refined bit of humc
II * opined that be would wait until he b
become more mellowed , and would not con
sider himself In the race thli term. As to
the reasons loading up to the mention of his
name , he taU It came from a section of the
louth thoroughly Imbued with the political
Idra. "Tho south , recognized that to win In
the next campaign they must put forward
a man for the position whose whole life has
bicn Kpeul In the upholding of the country ,
one who has never tnktn up arms , except In
the preservation of the union. With these
conditions prrcedint , It becomes a necessity
to tugged names of men , and to see how the
country w < ll take them. For that rcatoii
possibly , my name has bfcn mentioned atvccg
othtrs. "
Upon the stiver question General Schoflcld
nas as silent as tin proverbial clam. "No
man knows where I stand upon that question.
And sd long as I nm at the head of the army
It would look somewhat peculiar should I
expres * my views upon this vital question.
These views might be different from those
cnlcrtalnsd by the he-id of the government ,
nnd It would * only embarrass him should I
take It upon myself to air what arc clearly
foreign to my Ideas undar existing circum
stances.
"I have almfd to b ° a good soldier , and the
good soldier obeys orders. He never enter
tains opinions different from those of his
commander. If I have views upon the silver
question they will not bo ventilated until I
have stepped down from the army and joined
the ranks of the retired. It Is a most dim-
cult problem Is this silver qifestlon , and It
requires a mind trained to the bu lr.e of
finance to thoroughly grasp Its Intricacies.
You will pardon me If I say upon this ques
tion I refuse to bo Interviewed. "
Asked If he thought the present strength of
the army sufficient In times of peace ho was
most emphatic In his assertion that the pres
ent number should be doubled. "I bcllevo
that 50.000 men actively engaged In kamlm ?
the sclenca of war would be none too sinal'
for this great republic. Other nations mucl
Inferior to ours In extent , In resources. In
population , in all that goes to make a country
honored and respected , maintain standing
armies Immeasurably superior to oura In point
of numbers. The navy of the United States
Is In splendid condition. It behooves us to
place the land arm of the scivlce In like
condition. "

SARATOGA , June 6. The Congregational
Home Missionary society resumed Ita sixty-
ninth a-.nlversary this morning. The devo
tional meeting was led by Supsrlntsndent Dr.
William H. Warren of Lansing. Mich. . Major
General Howard having been called to Mo-
hunk to attend a conference In regard to the
International peacs confsrence. The regular
sosMon was presided over by Hev. Dr. E. I ) .
Webb of Boston.
A paper was read by Ilev. Washington
Choalo on the subect "Open Doors. " The
object of the paper was to show the fields
through which missionary effort could be
profitably directed. The estimates of the
committee as to thn amount of money that
would bo available were $100,000 short of the
minimum demands of missionary agents In
the Held.
"That $100,000 means , every unit of It
Christian work that wo today cannot touch
opportunities to carry the gospel to men
women , children , who are without It , here
In our own Christian land ; religious destitu
tion that we are doing nothing to relieve
conditions of darkness and Ignorance , of sin
and vice , of wrong and Iniquity , that we are
leaving uncnrcd for.
"Here Is the open door of a vast , nation
wide opportunity. Here Is the ringing plea
of hundreds of specified , designated points In
Washington , Oregon and the Dakotas ; J the
south frost-smitten Florida. In famine
stricken Nebraska , nnd lire-swept Minnesota
and Wisconsin ; a plea for the gospel , and tin
gospel as It Is embod.ed In the church of tin
Pilgrim faith and order.
"This door of unoccupied fields stand ;
open today , and wo wait the command of the
old , strong , well-equipped , enriched churche
of the east and the north bidding us to gc
forward and enter the doors that God's han'
has set open before us.
"Shall we hear this command voiced In
enlarged streams of consecrated gifts flowln ,
Into the treasury of this society ? "
Addresses were also made by Rev
Dr. Wallace Nutting , Providence. H. I. ; Hov
Clarence T. Brown , Salt Lake City ; Hev. A
H. Crlsty , Cleveland , O. , and Hev. C. I
Schofleld of Dallas. Tex. The forenoon ses
sion concluded with a characteristic address
by Hev. W. C. Puddefot. eastern field .secre
tary. This afternoon addresses were made
by representatives from the field.
Hev. Joseph B. Clark delivered an adJress
on the "Money Problem. " He said :
"All homo missionary problems , on the
human side , resolve themselves , In our day ,
Into one. Its name Is money. The time
has been when the problem was ono of men.
H Is so no longer. Men press upon us from
every quarter , eager to bear the commission
of the society.
"For four years past our superintendents
at the front have been required to show an
annual estimate of the least amount needed
for Imperative work In their fields. Yet
for four successive years the aggregate of
their needs has exceeded the resources of
the treasury annually by more than $100,000.
" have been sowing
"For slxty-nlno years we
the seed , and when the harvest of all these
years waves at our feet and offers Itself In
vitingly to our sickle we refuse to reap anil
garner it In.
"If our people were poor It wouU be a
cruel mockery to remind them of these hu
miliating facts. But they are not poor. "
He said various methods had been tried
during the year to Increase the Income , and
through popular appeals thousands of dollars
had como In , a few dollars from a place.
"God's poor , my brethren , are with us In
this gigantic effort to save America. Out of
their letters of response to our appeal have
come thousands of dollars. But our Congre
gational millionaires have not responded nu
merously. Those whom God has enabled to
be nursing fathers of our depleted treasury
have not been heard from to any great ex
tent. The year has closed. The debt has
grown.
"Let every pastor make It plain that he
loves the missionary work , and , by an at
traction as true as that of the needle to the
pole , he will gather about him a missionary
people. To the man In the pulpit , then , we
make our last appeal. With him Is the key.
Ills hand holds the magic rod that can smite
the rock and set free the frozen money power
of the church. "
The afternoon session was devoted to hear
ing Interesting talks of representatives from
the field. The closing session of the sixty-
ninth anniversary was held tonight and
proved the most interesting of the series of
meeting , ? . The concluding addresses were
made by William H. Alexander of Omaha
Hev. Lymau Abbott and W. Puddefoot of
the eastern field.

The ceremony uniting In marriage Mr.
Henry Cartan and Miss Virginia Nash was
celebrated last evening at St. Cecelia's church
before a select assemblage of friends and ac
quaintances of the bride and groom.
The church had been most beautifully dec
orated for the occasion. The entire chancel
was loaded with potted plants , ferns and
largo palms. Bouquets of roses and other
flowers were set about the chancel In tasty
order. Several large evergreens were placed
in the background among the palms , setting
off by their rich green the lighter shades of
the other plants. From celling and wall were
suspended long festoons of evergreen and
the railings were burled beneath a covering
, of smllax. The rays of the evening sun
were just touching the west windows of the
church with their fading light as the organ ,
presided over by Mr. Taber , struck up the
strains from Lohengrin , when the bridal
party entered the church door.
The bridal march advanced to the altar ,
where were already stationed Rev. P. F. Mc
Carthy , officiating , assisted by Rev. J. J.
Jeanette and Rev. Father Pah ! . The beau
tiful ceremony was soon pronounced , and the
. benediction of the church spoken.
The bride was richly attired In a heavy
French white satin gown , over which was
thrown a Brussels veil of white. She car
ried In her hand a bunch of Illles-of-the-
valley. Her bridesmaids were Miss Adellna
, Nash and Miss Mary Nash , and the maids of
honor Miss Grace Wallace of Salt Lake and
Miss Crelghton , Miss Knlpenberg , Miss
Blancy and Miss McKenna. All were attired
tastefully In white , carrying bunches of
flowers.
W. J. Cartan acted as best man. The
,
ushers were Messrs. Curtlss Turner , Charles
Saunders and L. Crofoot.
During the celebration of the ceremony the
organ played Rubenstoln'a Melody In F. The
retiring march played was Mendelssohn's
, Wedding March. The bridal party xnd
friends at the conclusion of the services , Im
, mediately repaired to the home of the bride ,
on the corner of Hurt and Thirty-eighth
streets , where the wedding feast was spread.
The presents were numerous and handsome.
The young married couple left for a bridal
tour In the cast.
