The Kalakaua party at the Grand Central "was called by " ball. " some people a "calico Mr. James Stephenson arrived from. Jancolu Thursday in time to shatio hands with King Kala kaua. _ Dr. McClelland's little daugh ter , at the Grand Central Thursday innocently asked King Kal- j "Is it true , Mr. King , that ' youen't little girls ? " Manager Irish yesterday made a contract witfi Frank Cilley , agent of tJio Alleghanians , for the appearance of that troupe at the Academy of Music on the 10th of February. The company will ap pear at Council SlufTs on the 9th , and at-fcremonton thollth. A man , said to be one Ca'ifield , has been presenting consideraofe" candy of late to the thirteen year old daughter of Mr. John Xcevll , living on Sixteenth street On "Wednes day evening it is said that he met the liltio girl , and made an Insulting proposition. She ran In. the house and lold her father , who Immediate ly stepped out , after making sure of his girl's statement , and bounced the brute out wih the too of his boot The fellow thought "leather was ac tive" just about that time , and took to his heels. The Dangers of Coasting. Frank B. Knight , cliief operator at the "Western Union telegraph of fice , went over toHarneyst.'Wednes- laiit-fiighi-to-cnjoj' the fun of coast ing. 'While sliding down the hill , he went over a jumper , which bounced him and the bled a distance of thirty feet in the air before he landed. "When ho struck terra firma he fell hard. He lit on his head , and slid off on his eyebrow , blacking his lelt peeper , scratching his nose , and raising several bumps on the top of his head. The trav- ers Fled. as well as Mr. Knight , was considerably demoralized , the hind runners being badly smashed. Mr. Kuiglit now-wears Ills head in a sling , and has the use of only one eye. However , hisinterestin coast ing has not been diminished , as he says he will go one eye on it , and If lie has his remaining optic closed to-night by another accident , he will * 1 % i then go it "blind.

Your Highness. That Reception 10 King Dave Last Evening. A Woman Kisses tne King Other Scenes and Incidents. Dave's Compliment to the "Bee. " There was a red-hot jam at the Grand Central Thursday evening , : he attraction being King Kala- iaua's reception. Between sis and seven o'clock the spacious office and halls of the hotel on the first floor were crowded by a vast throng of gentlemen , while the parlors and corridors of the second floor were filled with ladies and gentlemen , all waiting to see the King escorted by the Knights Templar to their Asylum. The Knights Templar , at about eight o'clock , marched into the hotel , in their handsome regalia , and headed by a band of music. The King came down the stairway , and was escorted to the rooms of the Knights Templar , where he , for the first time , witnessed the con ferring 'of the degree of Knight hood. The King returned to the hotel at half past nine o'clock , and entered the house by the ladies' entrance. The crowd in the ofllce thereupon rushed up stairs , climbing over each other and jumping over the railings , so great was their eagerness to geze upon the dusky Sandwichpr. The King took his stand in the east parlor , and the crowd then formed in line , shaking the roya paw as they passed by. The crowd those who had rushed up stnirs was a decidedly mixed one , being composed of the high am the low , the rich and the poor , black and white , the "heathen Chinee , ' the shabby genteel , gentlemen anc loafers , and in fact every class o society was represented there , ant many amusing incidents occurred One tall fellow , with his pantaloons in his dirty boots , his hat slouched upon his head , stood in the dUor- way , blocking the passage , and di viding his time between gazing upon the King and squirting tobac co juice upon the carpet and upon the ladies' dresses. One gentleman asked him why he didn't go either forward or backward , and clear the way. He replied that "he had as much right asanybody to look at the King of the Highway Islands , the blarsted nagur that he was. " T vo or three colored women as sisted him to block the doorway. There they stood immovable , unti at last , after being persistently urged to go forward , and shake hands with the King , they were compelled to beat a retreat. "Sooner" was in his glory , having been dressed up lor the occasion , and he promenaded the halls with , as much ease and dignity as ever graced a king. While the handshaking was in progress some woman as the King bent slightly -forward to ehake her hand planted a kiss on the roya lips. It was a surprise to King Dave , whose cheeks , dark though they were , could not conceal the crimson blush that o'crsprend them He immediately reached into his coat-tail pocket , and taking there from a red silk handkerchief , wiped the kiss from his lips. The xvornau never flinched , however , but ran the gmintlet of the united gaze o all who beheld her with an un moved countenance , psclaiming as she passed out , "Pjdn't f tell you I'd do it. " This remark led the bystanders to conclude thai she had kissed the King on a wager. It is said she is a sister to the feilo\\ who wanted to see the "King of the Highway Islands. " She was a bold brave woman , and we regret thai we were unable to ascertain her name. Had we learned it , we should of course have done her the justice of publishing it , and if she feels slighted at all she can send her name to the BEE , and it will appear in the next issue. She will thus sat isfy the curiosity of the public , who are anxious to learn who she IB. While the crowd were slowly pressing in , some wags induced a good looking colored man to permit himself to be introduced as tne King , and several persons weiethus "sold , " and went home as happy d as satisfied as if they had met the King himself. After the handshaking had been concludedthe capacious dining hall was cleared for dancing , the music being furnished by the City Band. TheKing tripped the light fantastic toe very nicely , and proved that big feet are not necessarily an impedi ment to dancing. The Klngrcally enjoyed thedance , especially as he was thus relieved from the pressure of the throi-j ; that hcd crowded the halls and j . : rlors , and lie took advantage of itt more thoroughly cultivate the ac niain- tancc of the ladies and gen lenicn occupying the ball room flr , and who represented Omaha's L.-st so- cietv. During the evening a vcrv beau tiful boquet , m > de by Mr. Chris. Hart man , was presented to the King by Mr. C. F. Catlin , in behalf of Covert .Lodge , .No. 11. A representative of the BEE , in behalf the City of Omahj. . presen ted his Majesty with a eoupio ot copies of the BEE'S New Year's Il lustrated bupplement. He was very much pleased with the gift , and re plied in a neat little speech , saying that he regarded the BEE as the liveliest and spiciest paper in the West. It was an honor to the city and the State , and when he return ed to his Island home , he would have one of the supplements framed and hung hi the palace , as a souvenir of his visit and reception at Omaha , where he had received a more.cordial entertainment than in any other American city. At half past twelve o'clock the dancing ended , and the va&t multi tude dispersed. The King and suite , and a few fa vored gentlemen , then adjourned to the royal apartments , and there spent an hour or two in smoking cigars , and drinking four cases of champagne , ordered from McKelli- gon. Further , we know not. The royal party left for San Fran cisco yesterday on the regular "Union Pacific train , being conveyed to the depot in three of Homan's most elegant carriages. Personal.

The St. Paul Pioneer con tains the following : "It is with the most xmqualifiei satisfaction that the statement is made that Mr. J. H. Stoddart was last night favored with a large au dience , one somewhat commensu rate with his merits. The auditors were most enthusiastic in then * re ception of the gifted comedian , anc displayed by their frequent and hearty applause their appreciation of his unrivalled talents. It must be acknowledged that there was a sorl of grim satisfaction in the dis appointment which many expressed at not having attended all of his performances in the city. They have just found out how good he is and now he is gone. So much for not believing the newspapers. I Stoddart ever returns , the Opera House will not hold his audience.

How a Young Girl was "Led As tray" by an Omana For tune Teller. A few days ago a young girl of this city named Frankie Lott , aged seventeen years , mysteriously disap peared from her home. Her moth er , almost distracted over the affair , instituted a search for her , first hi this city and then in Council Bluffs. Mrs. Lott , owing to certain facts of which she had lately become pos sessed , feared that her daughter had either eloped with a young man who had been keeping her company for some time past , or else that she had "gone to the bad. " She was found on Wednesday at Council Bluffs by Marshal Tyson , after a most thor ough search for her. Her story , as told by herself to a Nonpareil re porter , is as follows : My name is Frankie Lott , and my home for the past three years has been in Omaha. Prior to that time I lived at Council Bluff's with my parents , who kept a restaurant on Middle Broadway , near the site of the old postofilce ; I will be seven teen years of age on the 9th day of next April ; was first induced to leave my home by a fortune teller named Mrs. Swartz , who lives on Eleventh street in Omaha , between Dodge and Douglas streets ; I wpnt to have my fortune told , and she prevailed on me to remain with her instead of returning to my mother ; afterwards I learned that she com bined the business of a procuress for houses of ill fame with that of reading the future , and that she had inveigled me into her net for the purpose of ruining me ; I am confi dent thatshe has been instrumental in enticing many others besides my self from the path of rec titude. When I learned the true character of the place I was ashamed to return home , and therefore remained with her until my mother came for me , which she did at the expiration of a week. I gladly consented to return home with her it she would forgive me and forget the past. After going home I was very contented until the neighbors commenced to "cast up" to me that I had been in a house of ill-fame ; I bore their taunts and oncers as long as I could , and then resolved on flight. Where to go I did not know I thought only of escaping the reproaches daily cast upon me. For eighteen months I had been keeping company with a young man named Guy Maxwell , and on last Saturday evening I ar ranged with him to go to Florence. At the last hour , however , I refused to accompany him , and went to a saloon kept by a man named Harry Magee. " My fellow" followed me , and while there I told him I had de cided to enter a house of bad re pute , and had chosen one kept by Belie Clover , to which I intended to go at once. He strongly objected to my doing so , but I had made up my mind , and accordingly went , Guy accompanying me. When i got there I told the girls Julia Moran - ran and Frank Starr that Iguessed r would go home again , but they offerei to run away with me , and I consented to stay ; that was on last Saturday ; next day we attempted to get off , but one of the girls had some clothing with her that did not belong to her , and we were com pelled to return ; nobody came after me on that day , and I stayed at Miss Clover's with Maxwell until he Jert for Salf Lake early Monday morning. Shortly after breakfast a policeman eallefl and saw me tbeie , but promised to say nothing about it to anyone. After he left , three piore policemen" came and searched the housp : they did not find me though , as IT was ji ) a dark hole un der the house , Into which I got when I heard them coming ; during the "same day ( Monday ) the house was searched three different times , bijt | managed to conceal myself so 'successfully that fhpy .did not find me. Late that night "I" borrowed some moneyaud the other girls and I came to Council Bluffs in a cutter , crossing the river oil the , lco. We drove' to the Northwestern hotel on LoweA Brqadjyay. and w.ere admit- tfed by tfeorge" Gerspaohor at" $ pri- Yateyeiitrance , and afaid there all nightpnext morning at about 11 a" m. I went across Jlje street and got breakfast at John Short's saloon. Mrs. Short asked me where I was going , and I told her thatBelle Clo ver was moving back to' the Bluffs ; and that J was going to board with her. She tried ner best tq disuade me from my purpose , and even offered to get me work , but I was afraid the officers would see me and take me back toOmahasol , refused. > Afterwards I came up town in a hack and stopped at Foote's saloon , and- while there the Mar shal como ip , put hp did not see me. I then took a hack and went to the "Cottage. " The first thing we did was to borrow a ladder from Mr. Rudd , and place it agamst the" side of the scuttle hole | profty soon the officer came , and I climbed the ladder and secreted myself in a dark part of the loft ; I heard Miss Belle and the girls tell him that 1 had zone to Salt Lake ; after the officer left I got down igain , but didn't stay down long , as he pame back ; wo or three times during the 'day. The girls all did what they could lo aide me , and always stood guard at he windows when I was not in the garret. That night ( Tuesday ) I sjept on the floor down stairs , but went up into the jrnrret again next morning before daybreak ; J nearly froze while there , but I was fleier- mined to die rather than go back to ) maha. During the forenoon John tudd came to the house and told me imightstay at his house ; bethought hey would not bo BO likely to ind me there ; while I was there he city marshal came , and as he entered the front door * I skipped out of one at the rear and secreted nyself in an outhouse 5 heard Mrs. ludd tell the officer that I was not here , and hadn't been there ; I laid out doors for a while , then vent to "the Cottage , " and then ) ack to Mr. Rudds' ; from there I went to Mrs. Rockwell's ; while I " vas there the City "Marshal came > ack ; they wanted me to hide in he cellar , but I hid under a bed ; he officer searched the house , but did not find me ; he even looked under the bed , and I thought he saw me , but he didn't ; Mr. Rock * Well didn't know I was tnere ; I then went to the Cottage again , and from there to Rudd's , a'nd then back to the Cottage ; pretty soon we saw three men watching the house. BO we slipped out of a window ana started to run through the sunflow ers , but before we had gone far the oity marshal overtook us , and here I am. I have told you everything just as It happened. Reporter What areyour plans for the future i Miss Lott T have none ; butl' ivlll not go back to-Omaha ; I will jig sand first ; if any person will lake me and teach me how to work , [ would be very glad , and would. behave myself ; butl woa't go back to Omaha ; I can sew , and am will ing to earn an honest living if the opportunity is afforded me ; I only went to Miss Clover's because I had no place to go ; all I waut is a chance and I will show all that I can mate myself useful if they will only show me ; but I won't go back to Omaha. Mrs. Lott called at the BF.E office last evening , and stated that she in tends to take legal steps against the principal parties concerned in the leading astray of her daughter.

EDITOR OMAHA BEE : FROM THE PIT. I was one of tlio many lookers on from the gallery of the representa tive hall yesterday w iile the joint convention were voting for a U. S. Senator. It was indeed a warm contest , and I doubt much whether political excitement ever ran high er at the capital. The front seats were occupied by the ladies , who , by the way , are beginning to lobby in their own peculiar way for their favorite candidate. Even an elope ment , touching as it does , "some of the best families , " and affording an excellent opportunity for gossip , is entirely neglected that they may take part in solving the great prob lem. We expect , however , that some of the married men will have to talk a little about the question after they get home from the Tiche- nor , just enough "to give a rough guess at-which way they have gone , and what made them go. If the ladies had their "say-so" about this election , Thayer would be chosen on tne first ballot. The Senate appeared at the door of the House at precisely twelve o'clock , and occupied seats prepared for them in the main aisle. They Mre a flue appearing body of men. Mr. Spauu , of Douglas county , is the MATT CARPENTER of the Senate , and the best looking man in the legislature. Griggsputs on the most style , with the least capital. It occurred to me that had I been Speaker of the House , and the President of the Senate had stepped behind my desk and seized the . .mallet with all the gusto and importance so characteristic of him , I should have remonstrated. In fact , just after he had motioned me back , brought the gavel down two or three times , and was gazing arouud the gallery to make sure that all were looking at him and realized his power , I should have FANNED HBI WITH ilV BOOT once or twice , in the way of re minders. The roll was called and the dense mass of people crowded into the gallery , on the floor and in the lob by , became quiet , almost breathless , while each member spoke distinctly the name of their choice for Sena tor. The result was announced : Thayer , 21 ; Dundy , 19. This was heartily received by liincolnites , for General Thayer is liked best , where they know him well. With one bal lot the joint assembly dissolved. The House immediately adjourned to meet at ten o'clock to-morrow. THE SMOKE HOUSE. ' - In the evening I went to the "Smoke House" a new name for the Ticbenor. The appropriateness of the name will suggest itself at once to the stranger , more especially the stranger who does not smoko. Last night the crowd was great as ever , and with difficulty I elbowed my way through the dense mass of people to the billiard room. Here the smoke is so thick that it can be easily cut with a knife. After stay ing in that room an hour one's eyes look as though he had been drunk for a week. There are many classes of men at the smoke house. First , the skilled lobbyists and shrewd office-seeker. Second , members of the legislature. Third , second-class lobbyists , and fourth , the lookers-on. There is an immense number of men hero who have no business , and" yet how im portant. They seat themselves in one corner and whisper and gesticu late in a mysterious manner , that would lead one to Infer only how great they are and to suppose that beyond all doubt a Senator would be made or wretched 'at' their bid- The genuine field for lobbyists , however , is in the second and third story of the building. Apromenade through the halls at half-past 10 showed them in full Ijlast. We walked to the window near the Dundy headquarters and the Dundy men were swarming out and in like boe-s. Little did I dream what schemes were in process at that time within the Duudy ring. Every corner } n th ( yjjrloijs halls was oc cupied by groups * of two'or " more , talking very low , but "every look fallowing them to be In dead ear nest. nest.The The most striking § c0np I saw was in fron of ' "Strick's" room , { t is back in the corner where the light does not strike it much. When I turned the. corner of the hall "Strlck" had some victim in front of him , and was giving him his views on the senatorial question with great vim. The hero of a hun dred hard fought fields presented a wild , romantic appearance , leaning on hl3 crutches , and ' using both hands to aaslsf Wm 'in enforcing what he said. Altogether Htrick's face resembled a jack-lantern there in the dark. He was relating a story that cause'd hij own < * eyesr to start from their spheres , his knotted and combined locks to part , and each particular hair to stand on end like quills upon the fretful porcu pine. " ALMOST A FIGHT. Hanscomb and Joe Paddock , a relative qf 'tfye candidates , came near staining the carpets of the House with Democratic and Repub lican blood. The Democrats , or some of them at least , had agreed to vote for Thayer , and I think some of the Paddock men. In dis cussing this .question Paddock ' and Hanscomb became somewfia't exci ted , and Paddock was disposed to withdraw. High words followed , and one called the other a "LTAK , SIR ! " Just as they were about to em brace for the struggle , friends how fortunate to have friends at such a time parted them. They are both alive , and "He who lives and runs away , Will lire to right anothtr day/ ' GABE.
