Dr. Thomas , nsslstcil by Dr. Gerlh and
oilier professional gentlemen , hold mi
autopsy yesterday on the clog which died
of hydrophobia last \vcok. Tlio o\dcnecs !
of the fearful disease wore plainly appar
ent , and it wns pronounced onu of tl.o
best developed cases that ever came un
der medical observation. The brains ,
lungs and Intestines were all badly con
gested , and the bladder empty and dis
eased. The dog is known to have bitten
Ihrco oilier canines mul tlirco htnnnii beings -
ings , the two Mnlono boys and their
inotlier , before ho wns taken in charge
by Dr. Thomas. Ho was innoculntcd by
the dog which bit Domlna , tlio Windsor
liouf-o engineer , anil began to develop
fiymptoms nbotil six days after. When
first seen by Dr. Thomas thu dog was un
naturally active , uxhlblling a morbid
tendency to bite and snap at everything.
Aversion to lood and water followed.
Then came tits and a frothing at tlio
month and finally paralysis1. When it was
known it was genuine case of rabies , the
IMalono's became frightened and started
Saturday for Carllon , Mo. , to bo treated
by a woman who owns a so-onllcd mad-
mono. The arrival of Dondna at Paris is
not ycl noted , although watched for anx
iously by liis friends hero
NO MONIIV FOR 8KWEIW.
The proposition to vote $100,000 in
sewerage bonds was defeated Saturday
S. ! > 8 to 12.1. The bonded indebtedness of
Lincoln is now $ : iG7,000 , and many tax
payers feel that the load is about all they
ran carry , the Jew for all purposes being
about 0 per cent. Still if a suitable sys
tem of sewers was provided , the money
would bo forthcoming. Tlio voting
ilown of tlio bonds Saturday was more in
the nature of a rebuke to the promoters
of the utterly inadequate plan of drainage -
ago proposed than an evidence of tlio un
willingness of the peonlo to spend money
for necessary improvements.

The statement of several property
owners that they are paying taxes of
about ( I per cent on u one-third valua
tion , being accepted as true , is it
not time for those interested in the wol-
laro and good name of the city to make
a little inquiry into its financial con
dition. In Omaha , where miles of pave
ment have been laid , a thorough system
of sewerage put down , and numerous
high hills leveled , the total tax is
about 7 por.ccnl on none-tliird valuation
assessment. In Lincoln , where no pub
lic improvements have yet been attempt
ed , the low is 0 per cent. What does
it mean ? "Whither are wo drifting ?

Mr. Shelby has so far spent but ono week

A heavy laud slide occurred yesterday

a week will bo required to clear for traf

A terrific blizzard is now prevailing on

To the consternation of a largo number
of headquarters employes , It is rumored
Hint the Union Pacific will within a day

Van AVyok'B Bill Soon to llccclvc At
tention.
A Washington special , dated January
29 , to the Chicago Tribune , says : "Sen
ator Van Wyck's bill , forbidding the
making of contracts for the payment of
debts in gold will receive attention in the
senate next week , as tlio Nebraska soim-
tor expects to make n speech on the sil
ver question. There is already some dis
cussion as to the constitutionality of his
proposition.
Senator Van Wyck said this evening ho
could not sue why the 1)111 ) was not en
tirely In accordance with the
constitution . .Bankers and money
lenders discriminated against u portion
of the legal tender money of the country
when they made their loans payable in
gold only. The people had a right to tlio
use of tlio inonoy provided for them by
the government , and any law which pre
served that right must ho constitutional.
Jhlef Justicu Chase bad clearly stated
ho case in an opinion delivered by him
n December , 1800 , in the case of tliu
Vcazie bank against Fenno , involving
' .ho right of the government to impose a ,
: ax of 10 per cent on tlio bank notes
"sued by state banks. The purpose of
ho tax was to drive the stale banks out
of existence , to give place to the newly-
created national banks. Justice Chnso
said :
"Having thus in the exorcise of undis-
mted constitutional powers undertaken
o provide a currency for the whole coun
try , it cannot , be questioned that con-
fi'tias may constitutionally secure the
licnclit of it to this people by appropriate
legislation. * * * Without the power ,
intleed , its attempts to secure n sound
: ind uniform currency must be futile. "
In accordance with this decision the
tax was sustained , although a dissenting
opinion was delivered by one of the asso
ciate justices. The statement that a man
night refuse to sign a loan made payable
only in gold did not affect tlio Status of
the question , in Senator Van Wyck's
opinion. The whole matter rested solely
on the securing to the people tlio use of
all tlio money coined by the government
which was legal-tender.
The State Farmers' Alliance.
The sixth annual meeting of the Ne
braska State Farmers' alllaneo will beheld
hold at Hastings on February 21 , at

porated capital upon the producing and
commercial interests and the political
rights of the people.
And by all legitimate means elevating
and promoting the general welfare of the
farmers , are earnestly invited to attend
and take part in the proceedings of this
meeting without distinction ot creed or
party.
As Hon. C. II. Van Wyck is preeminently
nently the representative of the farmer *
of this state , and as tlio ring organs and
railroad cappers arc conspiring to pre
vent his return to thu United States sen
ate , measures for securing tlio united in
fluence of the farmers of the state in
favor of liis re-election will be adopted ,
and all farmers who are in favor ot liis
rc-oleetion arc cordially invited to attend.

proving the plan of organization of the
Alliance will bo submitted , and steps

The Condition of Omaha Real Estate the
Past Week ,
THE SNOW AFFECTS THE TRADE.
Prospective Advantages to Oin'nha
Mnyne's HlR IMtrolinse Hopeful *
ness of Dealers ntul He-
Bulls of the Week ,
The week which has just closed has
jcen almost uneventful in Iho real estate
world Snow and cold have operated lo
deter pcoplo not alone from purchasing ,
but even from attempting an inspection
of the property on salo. And yet , deal
ers have had but little reason to be dis
pleased. All of thorn have nindo some
sales , while some of them * claim to have
exceeded their estimates made in the
opening of the year ,
The great event of the week was the
purchase by C. E. Mayno of a tract of
12-1 acres from S. II. H. Clarke. The
consideration was StOD.OOO. This aided
materially in swelling the volume of
transfers. Last week tlio dally average
of the latter did not exceed if'J.i.OOO.while ,
during the past week , Iho daily showing
approaches $10,000. ,
The purchase of this largo tract has
given rise to some speculation as to who
aru thu real purchasers , and for what
purpose it was thrown upon the market.
C. B. iMiiyno has ligurcd as the purchas-
er.though some of his brothers in the real
estate business seem to think that hu has
associates whoso names , for politic rea
sons , tire kept from the public. Another
theory is that , as the ground is in rather
a delightful and attractive part of the
city , it lias been seized upon by some of
thu informed members of tlio cable line ,
who wisli to benefit themselves out of the
other industry in which their money is to
bo invested.
it is generally known that the cable
line street railway company was organ
ized several years ago. To most people ,
even to the members themselves , it nas
been an organization on paper. Lately ,
however , it is claimed to bo getting ready
for active lifu. With n charter which
gives it exclusive right to many excellent
tlioroughtares in this city , it is believed
to bu thu intention of the corpora
tion to extend its lines in
many directions , mainly toward the
northwest , where thu eligible property
bought by Maync is situated. Some people
ple tool that behind Mr. Maynu is n syn
dicate of tliis cable company who hold
thu property subject to certain limita
tions. Whether this bo true or not , the
inct is indisputable that the anticipated
springing into life of tliu cable road has
stimulated a number with greater hopes
and promises , while it has also induced
others to remove their lands from the
market with the determination of await
ing the inception of the enterprise and
tlio increased value which It will bring
to their realty. This is known to bo the
reason assigned by u certain pair of citi
zens wiio arc interested in an addition
on the west. They own possibly half a
milu on either side of ono of our through
streets. Along this thoroughfare , it is
expected the cable line will bo run , and ,
when extended , ' cannot do otherwise
than materially appreciate the value of
their property.
Dodge. ODavcnport , on the west , and
Tenth , Eleventh and Sixteenth streets on
the south , oiler special facilities for tlio
building of tins road , and some one of
thuso will doubtless bo selected on which
to climb tlio hills to thu beautiful country
beyond. There is n strong foolini' that
the work of building this line will be
commenced early this spring , and pushed
through with rapidity , especially toward
the west. This will be an important fac
tor , not alone in tliodevelopmcnt but also
in the appreciation of the property in
that part of Iho city. Another will bo
the viaducts. When these shall bo ex
tended across the tracks on the south , nu
impetus will also bq given to property in
that part of the uity , which , for some
years backs has boon neglected in tlio at
tention which other localities have in
spired. This ) > art of tlio city has many
valuable and picturesque sites , thu impor
tance of which will bo recognized bolero
many weeks.
C. E. Mayno "I find a difference in
my business tliis week as compared with
that of last week. That man thoru ( point
ing to a clerk ) is busy all day making out
deeds , and although my sales arc not as
numerous as they might bo , they are such
as to satisfy me. They would have boon
greater if this cold and snowy weather
hadn't prevailed. I have more than
seventy-live names of intending pur
chasers whom I have agreed to taku to
sco property , Iho first favorable day I can
find. Besides I have a number of seekers
after interior property who are looking
out for mercantile investments and loca
tions. 1 shall probably soil a part of my
recent puichaso from b. II. II. Clark in
bulk. The remainder I shall probably
plat , and sell at a reasonable price. "
Amos & Co. "We have done a fair and
safu business. The greater part of our
trade has been on inside properly , though
the number of outside transfers would
have boon greater if we could have in
duced the weather and snow to consider
our wishes. Wo have had a number of
inquiries about aero property , which ,
together with thosu of other species , war
rant us in tlio belief that the future is to
bo most promising. "
Morse & Urunor : "Wo hayo exceeded
our greatest expectations during thu past
month. Wo did not expect to do any
thing hcarcoly during January , yet our
commissions alone amounted to $1,000.
Yesterday wo'sold a Jot on tlio map , '
Wo had never seen it. neither had the
purchaser. Our largest sale was for
12,000 , our smallest $250. Inside prop-
crty. in every part of Iho city , except the
south , has been in demand , and when thu
snow clears away wo expect the requests
for outside land will bo in proportion. "
Cunningham & lirennan : "In about
three weeks wo hayo sold about forty
eight acres of ono eighty aero tract
known as Washington Hill. Northeast
of that wo havu platted city lots null on
the first day they wore opened for sale
wo disposed of a largo number. Our
greatest demand is for outlying property ,
and wo sometimes find thosu to whom
wo soil in largo parcels at low rates , and
oven then moro than satisfy ourse.lvus ,
As with almost every other firm , we pre
sume , the cold has interfered witli usand

BEAUTY'S ' BANDS OF STEEL ,
Fremont Takes Kindly to the Embrace of
the Elkhorn Valley Head ,
$25,000 FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY.
The importance of the lloiito lo the
City Prospective 1'uhllo ami
Private Improvements Pol-
tics mul Piety.
FIIKMONT , Nob. , Jan. CO. At last the
question is settled whether the I'renumt ,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad
would run through and around our city ,
or whether they would continue to use
the UY" cast of Fremont , thereby adding
greatly to their running expenses and dis
gusting every traveler by backing in and
out of Fremont.
Sovornl days ago L. 1) . Hiulumts re
ceived a communication from P. K. Hall ,
construction manager of the Fremont ,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad , wno
had just returned to Cedar Itnplds from a
conference with tliu ollicers ot tlio Chicago
& Northwestern at Chicago , saying that
the estimate of tlio clti/.ens' committee of
§ 25,000 , for right of way through and
nrouiul the city would bo accepted.
The line proposed , and which is now
agreed upon , through the city , will follow
closely tlio Union Pacific until it reaches
thu outskirts of the city on thu west ,
then run due north until a point is
reached about half a miln north
of the city limits , tlion run
northeast until they strike their old line
just this side of Nickur on. This makes
almost a complete circle of the town , and
will give the traveler a very dillereiit im-
prcsMon of Fremont from that which ho
would got from backing in and out as they
arc now doing. This route is very .satis
factory to our people , who havu assisted
thu company in getting around tliu town
as cheaply as possible , keeping in view
all the tune , of course , the rights of the
people to reasonable damage. 1 will say
further , that the company havu shown a
disposition to be very fair and thu friend
ship existing between the company and
the citizens of Fremont is very mutual.
The fact that the road is to bo built
around the town settles also the location
of the bridge across tlio Platte on their
line lo Lincoln. The bridge will be built
six miles west of Fremont , the line of
road running almost parallel with the
Union Pacific on tliu north side , until it
reaches the point to turn south.
This is alM > very satisfactory to the re
tailers of Fremont , for if there is a sta
tion built , on tliis linu between Wahoo
and the Platte river it will bo built in
that territory , which is tributary to North
I'cnd as a trading point , and will not in
jure the retail trade of Fremont.
The Omaha Herald has our railroad af
fairs considerably mixed. In a recent
issue it said that Fremont was goisig lo
give a bonus of $25,000 to got the F. E.
tte M. V. to build into the town. The. fact
is that the company has not asked for a
cent , buion the other hand lias agreed
to pay reasonably for all the damage
to property homers. A committee ap
pointed at a public meeting lias made nil
estimate of the damages , which every
one concedes to bu just , which foots up
less than f&'j.OOO. '
Now the company has asked that the
cili/.ens give them a guarantee that their
right ot way in and around the city shall
not cost them more than thu estimate
$23,000 madn by this citizens' commit
tee. This is all the company has asked ,
and thu guarantee has been given over
" 00 uiti/.ens signing the bond.
Taking everything into consideration ,
our people bavo every reason to feel
happy anil I guess they do as the pros
pects for Fremont never looked so bright.
The wholesale trade of Fremont for the
year 18.)5 reached nearly $1,000,001) , ) ,
and with the now territory open
ing both north and south they
confidently expect then the business of
188(5 ( lo show u largo increase over the
preceding year.
Messrs. liullock & Nilsson have just
opened a wholesale and retail furniture
store and have an inimeiisu stock to sell
from.
Several propositions have been made
our citizens by eastern capitalists to es
tablish a pork packing house near the
city. Those propositions arc now being
considered and there is but littlu question
but that by nuxt fall Fremont will have a
largo packing house ready for operation.
Eastern parties are also corresponding
with thu board of tradu relative to
opening a wholesale boot and shoo
and : i wholesale harness business. A
caiinni" factory is also under considera
tion. Wo may not bo able to secure till
th'jso ' industries tliis coming year , but wo
do propose to have some of tncm , and all
of them if possible.
The agent of Mr. Morgan of Chicago ,
thu party who has thu contract for put
ting in the water works , is now in tlio
city , and superintending the distribution
of thu water mains. As soon as the
weather will permit work will bo com
menced on the tower and the whole sys
tem pushed to completion as fast as pos
sible. .
Speaking politically , religiously and
morally , there is nothing particularly
now or striking to chronicle. The repub
licans , recognizing two facts , viz. : that
we tire now living under a democratic
administration , and that theru aru more
democrats in Dodge county than republi
cans are living in peace and harmony ,
fueling possibly a little sere that the
"pap" upon wliioh they have no long fat
tened is now being nursed from
the public crib by the other dog.
Neither is there any ill feeling between
the slaughter house democrats and tlio
packing house democrats. They also
were living in poacu ( Y ) and harmony ( V )
The love which they boar for each other
is only to bo compared to thu love which
Pythias born Damon. So tire both well
satisfied. That is , thu S. II D's are satis-
lied that they huvo all thu public patronage -
ago to which this immudiato vicinity is
entitled , and of this tact tlio P. II D's are
well satisfied. So I argue that both are
satisfied.
Our neoplo scorn lo bo as pious as over ,
and although wn have had neither
Moody , Hogan , Harrison or Sam Jones
hero to tell us of the error of our ways ,
or to dwell upon their miraculous
escape from thu dutches of
thugentloman from the nclliur regions ,
wo think our chances for a front right
band scat in thai other and better world
exceedingly good.
Morally wo stand as high as over , not
withstanding tlio North Hond Flail bays
thai thu rogues and villains eventually
become thu financiers of our institutions.
As a matter of fact our peoplu are now
and have boon on their good behavior ,
paying strict attention to business , believing -
lioving that this coming season Frumont
will have the "biggest boom" shu has
over had , and ready to assist in that
agreeable enterprise.

" 1 3oo tlio Bni : claims that the niuslo
played on the Salvlni night at the Hoytl
consisted of 'chestnuts , ' " said a nicmbcr
of the Omnha Musical Union orchestra , a
few days ago. "It also took exception
to the number of men who composed
the orchestra on that occasion. Now 1
want to say that the overture with which
the night was opened so far from being a
chestnut hnd , I believe , never been pro
duced in tliis city before. Some of the
Ptieecs played after that , while not en
tirely now , wcro not at all described by
the expressive If slangy word 'chi'stuut.
It is true wo played pieces which wo had
played before , but that was rendered no-
eossnry by the calling awny of Mr Stein-
Imuscr and leaving Mr. Irvine In charge
of the men. Ho wisely concluded to
play only such nieces as ho knew the
players wore familiar with. If three
or four of the members had
not gone with Mr. Steinhausor , to play at
Gcrnianhi hall , the Hr.K perhaps would
not have noticed that any cliaugu had
t.iken place in the composition of the or
chestra or in the nature of its pieces. As
a matter of fact , the orchestra , after
Sfcinhausor and these men had let ! was
just as largo as our contract calls for.
Thu first year the orchestra nlayed twelve
men , Since that time Mr. lloyd has boon
paying only for nine. Consequently ,
when more than thai number appear ,
they do so without cost to thu theatre. "
The Hui : man did not hear the opening
overture. Neither did Im know that ,
after it had been played , Mr. Stcinhuusor
and three or four of his men , took llielr
departure to Uormaniu hall. Nulthurdid
he know that nine men simply comprised
the orchestra paid for by Mr. Uoyd. Ho
is willing to admit that due of the pieces
iilnycil received some applause , but
ho is eonstriiined to remark
that the demonstration came
from the gallery. While the HKK
criticised neither tlio playing of the orchestra
chostra nor the ability of Harry Irvine as
pro turn leader , it gave expression to the
lU.Mippointnumt that on .several unim
portant occasions pruvioiislythero should
be. a full orchestra and playing of ability ,
while on the grandest theatrical night
( lie thealro has ever seen , the musicians
should bo reduced to the simple number
called for by the contract. This disap
pointment was shared by others , and , in
a measure , detraoted from the perfect enjoyment -
joymont which a full and ollioiont orches
tra , rendering music somewhat beyond
the popular order , would havu occasioned.
Tliu attraction at Germania hall was per
haps siillicient to send thither Mr. Stein-
luiuscr and several mon , but thu pnhlio
feel that if there is any timu in which
the orchestra is disposed to play men
without paying them , it ought to bo when
the performance on thu boards draws n
full bouse from thu most relined and ap
preciative people of thu community.
"I don't understand Italian'remarked
a young lady to her escort in a Twen
tieth street car. n day or two ago , ' but I
did enjoy Sal vim's presentation of
Othello. But I was shocked with what a
gentleman , who had a seat behind me ,
in the theater , said when Othello
drew bis dagger across his throat in thu
last act. The death was a fearful ono ,
you know , to contemplate. It almost
frightened mo in its simulation of real
ism , and while I was recoiling from wit
nessing tliu throes of dissolution , thu
party behind mo said : "I'd give a dollar
if you had killed yourself just three hours
ago. " I caught sight of the speaker , and
remarked to papa that I was sorry tlio
gentleman had not spent his two dollars
in a more satisfactory inanuur. "
"The lobby of the theatre is a pretty
place , no doubt , especially on a theatrical
or operatic night whun there is n full
house , and an attendance of thu beautiful
ladies of tliis city in tlio toilets in which
they delight to array themselves. It is
certainly a most interesting place to
stand in while thu audience is making its
exit , and stare at thu ladies as they come
lovingly , confidingly , laughingly unit
modestly down the stairs , leaning upon
the arm of husband , brother or lover.
Nevertheless , there sonictbing.about u
'full lobby' which I dislike as greatly as 1
do a similar body in Iho legislature of thu
state or nation , " said a well.known thca-
tre-goor. "I cannot rid myself of the
idea that it is just as reprehensible for
peoplu to stand there and ga/.o tit thosu
going homo , as mother , some years
ago , insisted it was to stare
ut the people as they came out
of church. It is ill-bred to
idly stand in front ot a church door
after service , and why should it not bu
ill-bred to stand in the lobby of the thea
tre ? Among those whom you find there
there is not one-half of onu per cent who
are there on business that is to wait for
a triond or in lui emcrcency to offer one's
escort to some deserving lady. The ma
jority take un position at this point to
gratify a curiosity far from being com
mendable. When the spectacle ol beauty
and chivalry has passetlawav tliu lobby ,
composed as it is generally of yomig
fello\VH \ , button up their coals , start for
Hie neighboring place of refreshments ,
mayhap to lightly comment upon some
person or persons whom thuy have already -
ready stared out of countenance. There
is probably no means moro likely to demoralize -
moralize this institution than for well-
bred pcoplo to remain out of it except
when the occasion justifies their
presence. "
Gen. Howard was called upon yester
day 1)3' a gentleman trom Norfolk , who
desired to enlist his co-operation towards
securing Iho Grand Army reunion next fall
for tliui place. Tliu general promised to
think over thu matter , and if posslblu as
feist him to accomplish what he wanted.
Ill speaking of the matter afterwards
with ti reporter ( Jen. Howard said that hu
thought Norfolk would bo an eminently
proper place for the Grand Army re
union for onu reason namely , that the
annual encampment of the soldior.s of thu
Nebraska posts would bu held near
that placa al about the
sumo time. Thosu encampments are
held annually for purposes of military
instruction and drill. So far thuy have
proved very successful. The Nebraska
encampment this year will bo made up of
delegations from Fort Omaha , Foil Kob-
bison , Forf. Niobrara , ami possibly 1'ort
Sidney. Thu event is looked forward lo
by the soldior.s as ti relief and grateful
cliango from the tedium of post lifo.
Whether thu circumstance mentioned
above will induce the grand army mon to
hola their next reunion at Norfolk re
mains to bu Keen. Theru urn many of
thu order who dc.siro to KCO it hold at or
near this city. Certain it is that Omaha
can hold out advantages in thu way of
railroad transportation , eto , , which no
other city can parallel. There
are a largo number of grand army men
in Omaha who see that thin city is
the proper place for the nuxt
meeting ot' thu battle soared veterans and
propose to Impress that fact upon the
members of thu grand encampment
which meets at Red Cloud .noxt month.

MONGOLIAN MATRIMONY ,
Marriage of Ohnng Sing and Manle Stag
Pee by a Prosby toriau Parson ,
The Xotnble and 1 merest Inn Ccronio *
nlnl AVItncPHCil In I'uclilo
by n llco Man.
A representative of the HIM : witnessed
at Pueblo ( Colo. ) on Thursday ovenlnjf
last an event which , had the locality been
favored with more prominence , woultl
have been widely noticed by the press of
the country. Chung Sing and Manio
Sing Pee , groom and brldo respectively ,
( and who.-o nationality is patent upon
Iho face of their names ) were united m
matrimony under the Presbyterian form ,
and by a minister of that church , the
ceremony taking plneo in the leading
hotel of the town. Chung Sing is a man
of some celebrity In Colorado , and Is i
worth , upon common report , a half mil I
lion or thereabouts. HuNuti alleged prac
titioner of medicine , and is currently
known as Doctor. The actual merit of
his art is a matter hard to reach , al
though several circumstances support nn
e\tonslve suspicion that the doctor is a
clover sham. When ho first came to
Pueblo he set up m business as a washer
man in a shop no more pretentious than
those of Ids fellow countrymen the coun
try over. One day , about two years ago ,
hu painted out thu statement on his sign
that Chung Sinir conducted a neat and
cheap luundr.y , and before his name 3
crowded in "Dr. " He Inserted an advnr-
tKemcnt in thu local paper announc
ing that ho was prepared to alle
viate every human suffering and
remove all tlio hereditary ills of flesh.
Biisiuetis came to him with a boom that
is almost incredible. Thu wildest stories
of his miraculous cures got into circula
tion , and the diseased from all the statu
and every part reached by tidings of his
powers llouked upon him. For a time he
nail a practice of from one to two hun
dred dollars a day , ami although this
rush has dropped oil in a large degree ,
ho still plies a phenomenal trade , ami
several successful Investments in specu
lative enterprises have largely swelled his
fortune. lie is about 55 years
of age , and speaks but little English.
Tliu bride is a eoolio maiden , 18 years of
age , and , ns Chinese go , is fairly good
looking. She is slender and small of
stature , swarthy and moon-eyed , is ex
tremely innocent and unconstrained in
manner , and progresses afool with a
Yuni-Yum waddle. She was purchased
by the doctor as so much chattel ,
from n San Francisco cloister , for sf',000.
He had never seen her before iinJ she bad
over been sedulously guarded from the
sight of any man. All this is right and
nronor , beyond doubt , after tlio out
landish motliotls of thu inongols.
She arrived on Wednesday and was
greeted with profound courtesy and evi
dent pleasure by bur spouse expectant.
She in turn acknowledged the mccling
with a diffidence that was born , as after
wards developed , of utter ignorance of
coming events. The doctor created a
profound .sensation by atlempting to oc
cupy her chamber at once , but was res
trained to avoid scandal to the house.
This astonishing caper on thu dignified
gentleman's narl is also explained as con
forming witli Celestial custom. Tlio
morning mul afternoon of Thursday
weio spent jn rehearsing lliu marriage
ceremony and lliu jibber-jabber efforts of
the high contracting parties to master
tlio responses succinelly and intelligently
was a "circus" to behold.
At last all was prepared , and at 8
o'clock the invited guests , comprising
some fifty odd ladies and gentlemen 9) ) '
the best fcocioty of Iho city , assembled in
the parlors. On tlio hour the orchestra
struck un Mendelssohn ami thu bridal
party entered , the principals clad in
silks of their native style of cut , Iho
bride wearing n short parti-colored skirt
and blue trousers. The sacred olllccs of
the church were safely and smoothly
dispatched. When the parson had pro
nounced the benediction , Christian cus
tom was suspended and an orlhodox
Chinese wedding fousl instituted and lot
it be said that for splendor of display and
liberality of cheer , thu best Omaha family
would have boon well credited for thu
effort.
Following congratulations tlio bride re
tired and in another moment reappeared
in a change of dress from head to foot.
The display of rare fabric and gorgeous
ornamentation embodied within her gar
ments , took the breath of thuguesls. The
bridu smiled placidly as with a rapid
hitejiing stop she went , about the apart
ment distributing from a pttnior some ox-
cpllent sugared fruits. Completing the
circuit of thp room , she disappeared
again and in a space of time wortnj of n
"lightning change artist" lloated buck in
slill moro resplendent vestments , and
again danced around the parlor Hinjling
and doling out delicious confections.
Once morn the change of dress and
distribution of lolly-pops was enacted
and nt Its closu lliu entire party ad
journed lo tlio banquet hall. The spread
was magnificent in tliu extreme , mid
champagne frappu , cordials and line
wines flowed prodigally with the sump
tuous service of viands. The party was
jolly and free and the "happy coiiplo"
performed n worthy share of ihu fousllng
mid morry-mnking. In the midst of lliu
celebration some hoodlums instituted a
chavirari in thu streets and the groom
like a little man sent Ilium to a neighbor
ing saloon to fill up al his expensu.
At tliu usual lute hour , the festivities
knocked off and tlio guestn adjourned.
Tlio bride retired lohur own specially
allotted and lavishly filled chain-
bur and tliu groom betook
himself to his own bed-room in another
part of the bouse. Thu next day thu
bride romped about the house with the
children and thu doctor went down to Ids
ollico , aflern courteous and distaiitgri'ct-
ing to his wifu. It is understood that
their relations will bo formal during tlio
ensuing few weeks until thu expiration of
a certain period of probation , or fiomu-
thing of that sort , when they will enter
upon thu blessed and familiar asjooin
tions warranted them the world over by
thu church and the law.
It i.s well to say that alt hough several
marriages of ChincHo converts , both
within their race and in contract with
while and blade women , havu occurred
in this country , thu piesont nuptials am
believed to bo the fins I undertaken under
Christian ceremonial by two pagans.
