Uu It such a dull week after all? With
the exception of Mrs. Allison's luncheon,
lira. Cole's porch party, Mrs. Yates' lunch
eon and the club luncheons, everything
else hus been more or less Impromptu and
Informal. Little things doing every day,
arid yet bo unpremeditated that the tele'
phone took the place of cards and an'
nouneements. The younger people, by tak
ing tho "good the gods provide," made
Luke Manawa the scene of several Jolly
ailing parties. And there was the glorious
full moon and the weather Nebraska's
finest. The mornings cool until 10, bo that
Jf the moon kept people up too late the
tun was kind and let them sleep next
morning. And they did those buds slept
late last week many a maid had to answer
over the 'phono, "not up," and tho hour
was 11. Society seems to be staying home
this summer, and a number of those who
went away have already returned. So
many people have summer homes In nnd
bout Omaha and then the automoblllng

FROM CUR LETTER BOX'
A Personal Matter.
OMAHA, July 80,-To the Editor ft Tho
Bee: I btg Tho Bee to allow mc to answer
the followlnr mention from my valued, but
somewhat erratic, old friend, Edgar llo"V:
ard, which I find in tho Crete' Democrat:'
Dr. George L. Miller of today is not the
Dr. Miller of other years once he was
the friend and encournger of nil yo(ri: men
who tried to rise In tbe world. Today the
canker of envy has spelled the nientaJ
stomach of the good old man until It emits
noisome anarchy and pestilential venom
whenever the name of Bryan is mentioned.
Bryan remembers that In other years the
old doctor was kind to him, and so he suf
fers In silence every Infamous c harge
which Miller directs against him. And
Bryan's real friends suffer likewise. I
could not write a line abusive of dear old
Dr. Miller If I should try ever so hard.
Sometimes I wonder If Dr. Miller really
appreciates the difficulties encountered by
his host of young Nebraska friends In their
splendid efforts to love him still. Edgar
I toward.
The generous-minded editor of the Tele
gram will kindly accept renewed assur
ances of my regard and distinguished con
sideration. Time was when ne was accred
ited, not unjustly, with doing his own think
ing, and with the honorable distinction of
being as sound a democrat as ho Is known
to be a loyal friend. For eight long and
weary years he has been wandering In the
wilderness in pursuit of political phantoms,
and, having lost his old maps, It has taken
a national convention, by a two-thirds ma
jority, to bring htm back to his old home,
and out of tbe woods and the wet. On the
authority of the late national convention
I am delighted to welcome him back, al
though he gives sign, naturally enough, of
staggers in his walk, and pardonable con
fusion of mind.
' Edgar Howard says that I am "not the
Dr. George L. Miller of other years." To
this hard indictment I promptly enter the
plea of guilty. If I were the Dr. George L.
Miller of other years, and could occupy my
old chair of tho Herald as I did for twenty-
three of them, I would still endeavor to
make it mors or less Interesting for W. J.
Bryan, Edgar Howard, G. M. Hitchcock
and several other stout men who have de
stroyed the democratic party in this state.
for whose principles, now reaffirmed and
reconsecrated by one of the greatest con
ventlons of the national democracy that
this country ever saw, which I labored to
uphold and maintain, without either pecunl
ary or political reward, for nearly ilfty
years.
Mr. Howard says of me that I was once
the friend and encourager of all young men
who tried to rise In the world. Today the
canker of envy has spoiled the mental
stomach of the good old man until It emits
noisome anarchy (when!) and pestilential
Venom whenever the name of Bryan is
mentioned. Bryan remembers that. In other
years, the old doctor was kind to him, and
so he suffers in silence every infamous
charge which Miller brings against him."
'The canker of envy" towards Mr. Bryan,
did you say, my dear Edgar? Are you not
mistaken? You make Mr. Bryan say that
'In other years" I was "kind to him." He
tells the exact truth, but not the whole
truth. I was not only kind to him, but I
was proud of him. I exchanged letters Is
1S9 with the late J. Sterling Morton, In
which congratulations to him were ex
pressed on our having such a man, young
and brilliant, who could take the place of
older men in our democratic leadership In
the state. I did everything In my power
personally to promote his advancement. I
assisted at Plattsmouth In celebrating his
second election to congTess, speaking from
the same platform with him, upon which
I sought, with admiration for a young man,
and with a zeal for a great cause, -which
Is still unabated and which never deserts
me, to uplift him. I introduced him by
letter, with warm approval, to the president
of the United ' States, Grover Cleveland,
and long after his atrocious murder, red
handed, reckless, wanton of the democratic
party In Nebraska which warmed him into
life, to Fitzhugh Lee, with whom he "fit"
on the bloodless fields of Tampa. I am not
displeased to find that Mr. Bryan Is still
able to sit up and recall the kindness that
he says he has received at my. hands. If
h had listened to me. If he had had
stronger character and less ambition, when
I counseled and warned him against his
wild career of defeat and disaster, ho would
not be In the depths in which he finds him
self today, a discredited and discarded
leader of the democratic party by the cold,
intelligent, deliberate verdict of a great
majority of his former following In the
United States.
"Envy" of Bryan, did you say, my dear
Edgar? How can this be possible by the
light of the record, by the confession of
Mr. Bryan himself, and from the fact that,
at the age of 74. I long Blnce retired from
all political activity and renounced all po
litical ambition?
No longer a friend of young men, do ypu
dare to say, my bold Edgar? Come down
to Omaha and go among these young men,
and their answer shall be mine.
GEORGE L. MILLER.
Civic Federation's Campaign.
OMAHA,' July 27. To the Editor of The
Bee: Your editorial which appeared in a
recent issue of The Beo under the caption,
'Omaha;s Appalling Condition," calls for
a reply, perhaps not because It Is worthy
of serious consideration, but because of
the apparent Intent to discredit the com
mittee of the Civic Federation and Its pur
pose to mislead the public. It Is not neces
sary for Mr. Mahoney either to deny or
admit the "paternlt" of the "manifesto"
and of which you complain. You know
the letter was sent out signed by Mr. Ma
honey as chairman of the executive com
mittee and not by Mr. Mahoney person
alb'. It was a letter from the committee,
who are willing to assume the responsi
bility. The first sentence In your article Is pjt
true. "Nearly everybody whose name ap
pears in the directory" did not receive the
letter. The number sent out was com
paratively few.
We do not believe the "question has been
asked by men and women who take pride
In the good name of Omaha." "What has
happened lately that would Justify the as
sertion that an appalling condition exist n,
sufficient to shock the sensibilities of the
community?" Intelligent and well-meaning
people of Omaha know too well what the
hocking disclosures have been to ask such
an Idle question.
You say manifestly the "shocking dis
closures" and- the "appalling conditions"
have reference to the Tom Dennison case.
which has furnished a political faotlon with
"campaign thunder.". If the Dennison case
has furn luhed a political faction with
"campaign thunder" the federation Is re
sponsible only for the disclosures. It Is
certainly light that the disclosures In this
case be used to correct the appalling con
dition, "Manifestly," however, this Is
where the shoe pinches. As a member of I
the committee I say positively that the
matter of politics or the carrying of the
st primaries, of which you so. bitterly
complain, was never even referred to, di
rectly or Indirectly. The federation, how
ever, will not be diverted from its purpoee
because its exposures may help or hurt
somrone politically.
You ask, "What Is there appalling in the
Dennison case?" and then say! "The mer, i
fuct of Dennison s Indictment would
scarcely Justify the assertion, nor has
anything happened since to 'shock the sen
sibilities' of this community." Your asser
tion is entirely misleading.
There may huve been something appalling
In the Dennison case in Itself, but tho mi st
appalling pait of It and that which shocked
the sensibilities of our people were the
disclosures and Incidents In the case. We
venture the assertion that to your mind
the remarkable testimony of the policemen
and the manner In which It was given was
"appalling." You will at least admit that
the memories of these policemen were cer
tainly "appalling." Of the eight witnesses
who swore Drnnlson was not In Iowa at
the time alleged (all of which testimony
was proven absolutely false) six are on the
city pay roll, one Is an ex-policeman and
the other a liquor dealer and a Third ward
machine worker.
When city employes and representatives
of public service corporations, under con
tract with the city, rush In to swear a
professional gambler (this you admit he Is)
but of his difficulty Isn't there, Indeed
something to chock the sensibilities of the
community?
Further, when the mayor of our ctty cuts
short his summer vacation and rushes home
and into the courtroom and grasps the
hand of the professional gambler wanted
In another state to answer for a serious
crime, and sits beside him throughout the
session of court, offers him words of com
fort and cheer, Isn't the effrontery some
thing "appalling," and doesn't It shock the
sensibilities of at least all well meaning
people In the community?
When the editor of a great dally paper,
who should be foremost In the moral and
mental upbuilding of the city, condones
this kind of thing and discolors the real
situation In favor of a professional gam
bler. Isn't there something to "shock tha
sensibilities of the community?"
When tho chief of police associates with
professional gamblers and has such a
dim conception of his duties that he Bees
nothing inconsistent In going Into print
to defend a man Indicted In a foreign
state for a heinous crime, isn't the condi
tion "appalling?"
In view of the fact that one of the
parties In the Fay-Bernstein diamond
episode was an officer in a court of Justice,
Isn't there something "shocking?'
You Bay if such a terrible state of af
fairs exists in Omaha, why do not the
paid attorneys of the Civic Federation In
stitute proceedings? You know only too
Well that this effort Is being mode, and
you know only too well that the Clvlo
Federation has your opposition and the
opposition of the mayor, the chief of
police and, of course, of the hangers-on.
Your assertion about the federation com
mittee knowing nothing about crime when
appearing before the grand Jury has been
repeated bo often by you that you may
have come to he!leve It yourself. As a
matter of fact 'I represented the federa
tion before the grand Jury and I pre
sented numerous specific coses for in
vestigation and for the convenience of
the grand Jury left written memoranda
of the same and ' gave the names of at
least two witnesses in each case.
One day you say the federation gets
money from Molae, and the next you
complain because financial aid Is asked
from the public. 1
What Interest have you, or the machine,
In trying to frustrate the effort of those
who are honestly engaged In an effort
to bring about a better condition of
affairs in Omaha?
1 If the machine Is at varlanco with the
federation, and If It has encountered
disastrous results on, this account, it is
its misfortune and not our fault On the
very eve of the last primary election
Mayor Moores stated in an interview
which appeared In your paper that It
was a "square-toed fight between the
federation and the machine." If he
threw down the gauntlet and made the
Issue how can you charge it to us? We
understand quite well that the whole pur
pose of your editorial was to prevent tho
Civic Federation from receiving financial
assistance from the public

TWO YEARS MORE ON CRUTCHES
Probable Fate of Former Mayor
Bemls, Who Leaves Hospital
After Another Operntlon.
Former Mayor George P. Bemls has been
removed to his homo, having undergone
another operation at Clarkson hospital to
have the false or fibrous Joint of his left
leg opened up, the fibrous matter removed,
the bones sawed and scarified afresh and
nailed together with silver pegs. It Is
now hoped the bones will knit and form a
reliable union. This may, 1t Is said, re
quire Mr. Bemls to depend on crutches,
sole-leather splint and steel braces for some
two years longer. He has been on crutches
for over two years since the accident of
April 25, 1902, when a large, billboard near
Eighteenth and Farnara streets fell upon
him during the windstorm of that day,
crushing and mangling the bones, tendons,
muscles, tissues and arteries Into a pulp.
Amputation was considered at that lme.
Mr. Bemls was removed from the hos
pital yesterday to his residence, 2303 Doug
las street, where he will be confined to
the house and bed ridden for some weeks
and possibly months to come.

CONCORDAT IS AT AN END
Diplomatic Relations Between the Yatica
and France An Now Severed.
AMBASSADORS WILL RETURN TO HOMES
Not Tbonabt that Pope Will Retaliate
by Taking; Care of tbe Ksst
ern Catholics from
France.
PARIS, July 80. Although no official an
nouncement has yet be?n made It can be
positively affirmed that the rupture be.
tween France and the Vatican Is complete.
The Holy "ec's lengthy reply to the French
note, though most courteously worded,
merely amounts to a polite statement that
the pope does not Intend to enforce the
stipulations of the concordat and will not
withdraw the letters calling the bishops of
Dijon and Laval to Rome.
Diplomatic courtesy forbids the publica
tion of the French note until the pope
Is notified, but Foreign Minister Delcass;
last night sent M. de Courccl, the French
charge d'affaires at the Vatican, two notes,
one for the papnl secretary of state, an
nouncing the rupture, and the second a
personal note, Instructing the charge
d'affaires and the others of the staff of the
embassy to return to Paris Immediately
after his mission is accomplished, which
probably will be this morning. When M.
de Courcel's advices reach Foreign Min
ister Delcasse the latter will Immediately
request the papal nuncio here to leave
France.
It is not efpeited that the rupture will
have any Immediate consequences beyond
the mutual withdrawal of the representa
tives of France and the Vatican and the
suppression of the embassy and nunciature,
as the denunciation of the concordat re
quires preliminary sanction. Consequently
fresh developments are Improbable until
the appointment of the new bishops comes
up. Well informed persons do not Deueve
that the Vatican will retaliate by with
drawing France's protectorate over the
eastern Catholics.
Dismisses Papal Xonolo.
Foreign Minister Delcasse tills afternoon
addressed a note to the papal nuncio to the
effect that in cor.sequence of the rupture
Of the relations between France and the
Vatican, his mission in Paris no longer
had any object.
The papal nuncio, who was visiting the
Countess de Vlllenuve, near Versailles, was
unofficially informed of the situation last
night and returned to Paris immediately.
He sent a long cipher despatch, to Rome
this morning.
The Rome correspondent of the Tempi
telegraphs that the French government's
dispatch did not arrive at the Vatican
embassy until after the officials left last
night and was not delivered until then.
M. De Courcel conferred with the papal
secretary of state. Cardinal Morry Del Val,
at 10 o'clock this morning and It is be
lieved he will leave Rome tonight.
The rupture of relations between France
and the Vatican does not cause surprise.
It had been generally foreseen that Premier
Combes was determined to bring It about
despite the opposition which he doubtless
met from certain members of the cabi
net. - The Impression prevails that the govern
ment will be satisfied with having given
the Vatican a lesson and that it will not
