AVnrrlnjj Musicians.
A lively dispute , which threatens to
lend to a wnr among local musicians , has
arisen between Kalian Fr ko imil
Julius Meyer , respectively managers of
the Philharmonic and Musical Union
orchestras. The trouble was occasioned
by the fact that both gentlemen are
anxious to furnish the music for the Elks
ball , which comes ofT on February 7. 'It
was the intention of the committee at
first to lot Franko have the con
tract. However , ho asked $50 for twelve
musicians , while Julius Meyer agreed to
furnish the same number for $25. Ac
cordingly tlio agreement was made with
Manager Meyer.
This lunclo Manager Franko wrathy ,
very wrathy. lie was met by
n reporter for the UKB yesterday , to
whom ho declared that Julius
was trying to cut down the price of good
music , and that ho would never , no
never , reduce his price one cent from
$50. "Its an outrage that ho should
make such a cut. I can't ' aflbrtl to do it ,
and \you't,1 " ho added.
Mr. Franko evidently changed his mind
later on. foryesterdayaftoruoon ho wont
, to Mr. Miner and ollered toplayfor noth
ing. When told that the Musical Union
liud already boon engaged , ho asked that
'his ' orchestra bo allowed to play every
alternate dance number. This
would furnish the Klks twenty-1 I '
four musicians for the prlco
which has hitherto been commanded by
an orchestra of six men. The committee
will meet at once to consider Mr.
J'ranko's proposition , which it is thought
will bo accepted.
Mnnngcr l-ranko is determined to push
his new organisation to the front , while
Manager Meyer is equally determined
that the Musical Union shall not bo
crowded out of first place. As already
intimated , it is probable that these feel
ings of ioalous rivalry will cause a lively
war and a drop in the price of orchestral
imislo.

A Grout Athlotio Hvont Which U Boon
to Occur.
Among the nthlotio ovcnts which will
occur within two or three weeks is a bl-
cycle race between the newspaper men
of this city , Several of the pencil push
ers of the local press have , with the kind
assistance of John S. 1'rinoo , mastered
the intricacies of the bicycle , and arc now
thirsting to exhibit to the public tiioir
newly-gained powers. They wil ! there
fore risk life and limb in the attempt to
\ r run down each other , some three or four
8s weeks hence , in a throo-milo bioyclo raco.
6U' Already four entries are assured , and it
U' is just possible that live men may go into
the raco. Notwithstanding the fact that
all ot the reporters are comparative
greenhorns in this business , the race will
be , no doubt , an , interesting one. The
reporter ? aru men of brawn as well as
brain , and their record , it is anticipated ,
will make 1'rinco. Uiucloy and liulloclc
look , sick. Further particulars of the
event will bo given to the public in time
to insure n big turnout when the race
cbinoa off , Au nuibulauco will bo at the
door ready to carry off the dead and
dying when the race is over , and a
special corps of surgeons will bo engaged
for the evening.

"Tho pompadour ? It is going out ot

other day , as ho was clipping the scribe's
silken tresses , "hike other fashions , "
ho continued , "it has had its run , and
now must take a back seat. It will prob
ably bo revived in the future , because it
is undoubtedly a cleanly , comfortable
and good-loouing method of dressing the
hair. "
"What is to bo the popular method of
cutting the hair ? "
"Cut fairly short , parted very near
the middle , and banged. That is ,
that is the eastern stvlo. Whether
it will bo adopted extensively
in the west , I don't know. Very few
young mon in Omaha will wear their hair
that way. They think it's too clleminatc.
And they are right. Hut it's style. Tlio
pompadour will doubtless bo worn a
good deal by young men who cannot
wear their hair any other way. or who do
not care for stylo. Yes , that is the most
dilllcult style of hair-cut to execute prop
erly. Few barbers can thoroughly mas
ter it. " _

A AIovu Boon to Ho Mnclo By tlio
Metropolitan Club.
At the last mooting ot the Metropoli
tan club , it was unanimously decided to
make a number of improvements in the
rooms of the association , as also to enlarge -
largo the KCOPO of the club itself. The
hail ot the association is situated in the
third story of ICuony's building on the cor
ner of Fourteenth and Uodge strcots. It is
intended to remove the present ante
rooms to the hall , thus throwing the
whole floor into ono apartment , and
thus conbiderably increasing tlio accom
modations of the place. licsidcs ,
instead of being a club devoted folely to
entertainments of a dancing nature , the
Metropolitan intends to launch out into
the social field , after the style of the
Omaha , the Union and Doutsclicr clubs.
For this purpose it now proposes to se
cure the second lloor of the building in
which its dance hall is now located , and
turn it into card , billiard , reading and
refreshment rooms , in the adornment of
which the association will leave nothing
undone to make thorn inviting and com
modious in every respect.

MONGOLIAN FESTIVITIES.
AVhat the Chinese Ornnlmns Expect
to Do 011 Saturday Next.
Learning that the Chinese of this city
intend to give a grand celebration on
next Saturday , in commemoration of
some event , a reporter for the liisi ; set
out yesterday to Hud tlio exact nature
and occasion of the demonstration.
Tlio first Chinaman interviewed was
the proprietor of a Tenth street laundry.
After making a profound obeisance to
the heathen washec-washeo , the reporter
opened up the interview by asking :
"How do tiio China boys expect to celc.
brato , next Saturday' ' "
The Chinaman pricked up his cars ,
stared vacantly at the reporter , anil with
an air of profound contempt , finally re
plied in some such language as this :
"Ivi oski usk. Quong-a-wonir a wing. "
After a few more remarks of this kind ,
the Chinaman turned to I is washing and
left tlio reporter standing in an embar
rassed attitude near the door.
The next Chinaman interviewed on the
subject was the proprietor of a Japanese
ba/aar on South Tenth street near the
tracks. Ho understood English moder
ately well and gave the reporter a fair
insight into the plans of the local Chinese
colony concerning a celebration on Satur
day next.
On last Sunday , ho said , occurred the
Chinese Now } car , which is celebrated
very much as the Americans celebrate
their New Year. On that day ajl
trade is suspended , laundry work is
laid aside and customers are barred out
by the Chinamen Jrom entering their re
spective places of business In fact the
day is a sort of sacred holiday. This sort
of tiling continues until the sixth day
following. Then the Now Year's week is
considered at an nml. Calling cards are
laid aside ( for cacli Chinaman has his
cards which ho distributes among his
friends ) and the Mongolian celebrates
tlio day with great eclal. Next Saturday
the Cinnamon of thin city intend to cele
brate with firecrackers and fireworks ,
which will be exploded in the afternoon
and evening , in front of the Buckingham.
The reporter's informant said Unit the
China boys had raised $100 to
buy "filo-elackas" with. As yet
tlio supply of firecrackers has not
boon received. Last night tlio Cinnamon
telegraphed to Denver for 75,000 crackers
and it is expected that the supply will bo
hero in ample time for the celebration on
Saturday. The day's programme also
includes a Cliinoso banquet at the Buck
ingham , at which it is expected homo
twenty-five or thirty Chinamen will bo
present.
Tliis anniversary is called by the
Cliinoso , "Oketay , " which signifies
"opening day. "
It is said that on Sunday most of the
Chinamen celebrated the Now Year with
moro formality than did their American
brothcrn a few weeks previous. Most
of them kent open house , and regaled
visitors with nuts , candies , Chinese
fruits and cigars. The visiting cards are
red pieces of paper folded , with the
name ot the Chinaman painted in queer
hieroglyphics on the outside.
