It was a beautiful mornlnj;, and tlio cool, btiuluv; air wan tonic to drlvo nwuy cloudn on I lie mind and tlio dark brown taHlo of "tlio morning after." In the city i;oiifrully retail IhihIiiosb waa contlnuiil only during tlio morning bourn. At tbp publle offlceH holiday hours were oli nrrved and no work wiih dono after noon. In many tinmen old time. New Vear'H cus tomii were revived and fair dchutnnteH of the present mpiihoii followed the examples of their grout Krnndmothers at the opetiltiK of the nineteenth century. Tlio Htiow.was hardly well enough dlilrlbuled for nlelRhi. lng. but Home of tho more onthimlaBtlc laila and laanleH werp out with cuttorH, and the mellow tinkle of the IioIIh added tho In nt neeesaary touch to an otherwise perfect wlrter holiday. . Ilii) Iii I lie I'lny IIciiibcn. In tho afternoon tbo theaters were thronged' and tho manager of tho piny bniiMfH had arranged blllst to satlufy the varlotiH tauten. At Iloyd'rt the Mnntonlan held the boards and tho usual holiday crowd unit out In force. The bill was "The Vice roy." and Us presentation In the generally nciepinble manner of tbn llostonlans, seemed to satisfy thoso In attendance. At tho Orpheum a special bill of vaude ville was offered, with special reference to tho nntiunl holiday, which this time marks the change; In tho century. It appeared to the observer as though the management bad endeavored to llluatralo to an Omaha audience tbo advance which tlio past cen tury has made In vaudeville, which only a few yearn ago was known ns "variety." Tho Trocadero'ii bill Included a beauty nhow, and as clours nnd cigarettes were not barred, each man felt himself at ease In witnessing one of tbo best productions of Its class over presented In tho city. At tllf lllltt-lN. To Judge from tbo hotel registers, tbo great army, of travelers, by common con sent, made up their minds to spend tho day at home. New Year's travel Is always light, but at tho leading hotels tho llrst day of the year 11)01 Is remarkable In this respect, anil tho hotels did a bigger local business generally the night before than they have dono for n long while. Many resi dents of the city attended religious Bervlces nt downtown bouses of worship, nnd by the time tho now century had been greeted, tho last street car had gone, although tho company ran tho cars until after " o'clock. Many staid business men and dignified ma trons, who had depended upon cars rather than hacks, spent tho nUht nt hotels toi tho first tlmo In years. FLIRTING WITHNEW CENTURY Jni'l.Honliin ('lull .llruiliei'M llrnmi .lleiuiirli-M iif 'I'll fir II t-t-t-n I llllcnl Hi-ten'. There was something doing at tho new quarters of tho Jacksonlan club, 1417 Far num street, yesterday afternoon, when the local disciples, of "Old Hickory" came to gether for the purpose of giving 1000 a parting kick and I'.lOl a glad hand. During thu last year of tho old rentury Father Tlmo bad permitted his keen-edged scythe to cut asunder the almost blossoming plants of tho democracy and tho Jncksonlans ovl lently considered It correct policy to nieot him at tho threshold of tho now year and Kith good cheer tako tho keen edge oft ills cutlery. The smiling countenance of tbo peerless lender that hangs on tbo wall In u sug jcestlvo black' fraino was carefully dusted off and the doors of the club wero thrown open. At. $ o'clock tho faithful began to irrlve. If anybody came thero with the fxpci'latlon ot having a gloomy communion lth his past ho was promptly made to forget It. Kverythlng pointed to tlmo head and futures wero played upon In I run beard of trado style. If a visitor chanced a remark about tho last election lio was promptly reminded that a century bad lust died and 0110 ot better promise was In tho cradle;. When stray thoughts of tho past had censed to put an occasional kink Into the happy spirit ot tho throng ntte.ntlon was called to thu fact that all well-regulated functions should havu a master of cere monies nnd by unanimous consent J. B. Riley was put at that Indispensable post. Then tho talent of tbo club was called Into Bervlco. Ocorgo Shields approached tho piano with conlldenco and sang "I'll Lunvo My Happy Home For You" ami tov eral others rendered similar selei'tlons. A bunch of funny stories wero related, tho honors In tho elnss being won, of course, by a knight ot tlio grip, A. U. Thompson. Tho festivities continued until nearly B o'clock and might have gono on for an other hour or so had not somo thoughtless member announced that Frank Ilurkley, Rd Smith, John Power and Charley Tracy had orgai.tzcd a quartet and wero nbout to spring a bong. Socially, yesterday wns one of the most brilliant days that Omaha has seen In many a season. . Hepleto though It wns with fashionable functions, they wero so ndmlrnbly arranged that no two conflicted. Hctwcon I ntul 0 o'clock Mlfs Lydln Monro kept open bouse, assisted by a bevy of young women, tho debutantes of the last two seasons, and needless to say this hospi tality was shared by n liberal representa tion from the fashionable sot. Miss Moore, Miss Fredrlckn Wossells of Hannibal Mo., and Miss llurko of Salt ,ake City received together In tho drawing room, which wns festooned with Christmas green, red holly berries and mistletoe lighted by numerous red-shaded candles. Messrs .Jack Cudnhy, Joseph Darker, Jr.. nnd Floyd Smith presided In the punch room. Here the samo red shade prevailed. Smllnx and two tall red eandlci deco rated tho punch table, while Christmas greens trailed from the bookcase or wero caught up with clusters of holly and mistle toe. Tho dining room was all In red, tho table being dressed In n centerpiece of red nrnatlons, smart red bows and tall rcd- shnded enndles. Miss Monro wns further assisted by Misses, Allen, Morse, Towle, tlrown, Mer er, Mvcnsburg, Kllpatrlck, I'eck, Anno Leo.

Sum mers, Jr., received In honor of Colonel nnd .Mrs. J, K. hummers. Cut flowers, rather than tho etistomary Yulotldo decoration, prevailed, tho reception room being hnnd somely deeorateil with pink roses, Mrs. ouis Heed and Miss Summers served tho punch. Tho celling nnd walls of the room wero festooned with Hags. Mrs. Clifford Smith nnd Miss I,eo presided In tho dining room, wnere tho color scheme wns red.

Tho largo veranda had been Inclosed, heated nnd furnished with Turkish rugs, couches and easy chairs. Tho canvas sides wero hung with Christmas wreaths caught up, empire style, with hnndsomo bows of scnrlct. Tho largo rooms within wero partially cleared of furniture; tho mantels wero banked wllh masses of southern smllnx, which also trailed, above tho windows nnd doorways, and this with nn occasional dash of scarlet or cluster of holly berries constituted tho only decorntlon. In the dining room tho chnndcllcr was wound with smllnx to the celling, whllo on tho tnblo below a largo shower bunch of carnations formed tho centerpiece, nnd hero a buffet supper was served throughout tho ovenlng.

Peer ing over tho ledgo of the window, they wore watching something which was going on within. Three dry goods clerks paused behind the offlcers and craned their necks to get n glimpse of the mystery. A woman with her arms full of bundles, accompanied by two Ilttlo boys, peeked In over tho shoulders of tho clerks. Others stopped on tho out skirts of tho rapidly growing crowd. Within tho building all was black dark ness savo at tho end of n long vista of desks and ofllco furnlturo and hero tho gloom was diluted by a single electric light globo swinging from tho end of a cord.

"Cold weather seems to have affected it," "It Is allflrcd cold," the policeman re marked feelingly, as ho replaced his re volver In his hip-pocket and returned to the street.
