Omnlm Society.
Society has been kept so closely occu
pied with entertainments of n general
nature the past week , that minor happen
ing * hnro been orcrlooked till n lull in
the rush of receptions may ngnin bring
leas ntul card parlies into prominence.
It is quietly understood that cards will bo
inionj ; tlio sub rosa indulgences of tlio
Lonlcn season that Is BO fast swooping
down upon tis and tlio perils of bcxiquo
nnd euchre , not to spcnk of n quiet game
of poker , will again beset those , who fern
n season have resigned their pet dissipa
tion thai they may bask in the approval
of the elect. It is doubtful whether the
roforni bnsed as it is on motives that be
ing analyzed prove to bo moro worldly
than Ihu evil it pretends to cry down-
will last lonirur than a decadu. . I'eoplo
are bound to uwakon to the conviction
thsit lifo is too short for an enforced
martyrdom of reception giving. They
may pay duo rcspeut to the duly decorous
at proper intervals , but human nuturo is
too human to subsist on the diluted diet
Hint is now being offered for its delecta
tion. The reaction u ill bo so complete
and uflcctunl that not oven tlio ungram-
nmtical invectives of all the modern ro-
rivalists put together cnn chunk it.
Hrnwnoll Hall llcccplinn.
The opening of the now Drowncll hall
Wednesday uight was unquestionably tlio
Bvontof the week , and completely over-
ihudowcd unything of u social naluro
that has taken phiuc. The largo nnd
beautiful structure , modeled nftcr the
fiueen Anue style , was brilliantly illumi
nated , : md loomed up grandly for blocks
nwny. The adjacent street was crowded
with an endless lilo of carriages and all
surroundings indicated the importance of
the occasion. On enteritis the guests
were met by n small usher , .Master Windsor
ser IJoherty. and directed to the stair
way. Numerous youne girls , prettily
dressed and bearing gaily decorated

: i largo share of attimlion and enjoyed
the occasion as only school cirls can.
Thirty 3'oting ladies divided into sets of
ten , feiiporiiitended the reception and rc-
fnliiuent rooms. Thurowas an absence
of the stillness that usually characterizes
reeeptious. There was ample room for
all to circulate and the long corridors
and parlors were tilled with a moving
throng of promenaders. Hofluian's or
chestra , stationed In ono of Jho corridors
played constantly , and many of the
younger people could not resist the temp
tation to dance. So well entertained
was everyone that it was long past mid
night before the last guest departed.
The gathering included several hundred
people , but notwithstanding its numbers
the crowd was noticeably of the elite.
All the prominent Episcopalians were
there , and a sprinkling of other denom
inations. The church , the urmv nnd the
best society in general was well repre-
Honied , making the most congenial party
that has met at any large social gather
ing this winter.

( od'd blessing on this sylvan sniide ,
"With which Hrownell is ott arrayed ;
When southern winds Irom sunny skies ,
lirin'i bud and leaf to gladsome eyes ;
When sonc of bird and honey bee ,
Ate blithe aud happy as can be.
Hod's blessine on this hallowed ground ,
Where wisdom here a homo hath touud ,
A second Eden tloth appear.
The footsteps of the Lord draw near ;
And when the evening bhadows fall ,
His voice dotli throtiijh each warder call.
Lord God omnipotent hero rcirn ,
Jiring honor to Thy li.illowed name ;
Protect , defend this sacred shrine
Through COMIIIIK yfars.throuiih coming time ;
Let greater honors here befall ,
Than ere weiu dreamed in Locksley Hall.
No warlike trophies hero are hung ,
No rusty blade to scabbard Hum : ;
No llaming sword shall ere be found ,
Wheio fruits of righteousness abound ;
The tree of life , so fair to bee ,
IJotokeiis peace and purity.
Of Plson , hero the muses slnir ,
Of ancient ( Jilioii's silver spring ;
Thcmighty Hlddckel shall roll ,
And broad Euphrates crown the whole ;
These living stieams of lite abound
Where fruits ot Paradise are found.
Fair fountain of perpetual youth ,
Of grace and beauty , love and truth ;
A falter fountain who can tell ,
Thau where our daughter'daughters dwell ,
This livlm : sprim : of life wo lind
A second Eden to our mind.
Rod bless this peaceful , hallowed BhaJe ,
lied bless the matron nnd the maid ;
Aud ( iod bless Kpbert bless his face ,
And till hlshoul with heavunlv prare ,
The faithful priest of Urownell Hall
Wo say Uod bless you one aud nil.

The JSIkH' null.
It is not every child that can give a
first annual birthday party by its own in
dividual effort nud achieve a grand social
success by the triumphant accomplish *
mcnt of Its own suggestions. The Omaha
Elks , however , have performed this won
derful feat , and last Monday
night their first annual ball was
n society event tnat will be an amaranth
among memory's Mowers , and the pleas-
nnt thoughts o ! those who participated in
its caitlo ! will only grow dim to make
way for the glad announcement that the
"second birthday" is near at hand. But
then , the Elks are an order out of the
usual rule born in the common
good fellowship of honorable young
men , they seem to have no
infancy. but sprung at once
in the strong , hearty , loyal manhood of
sociability and benevolence. Hero they
do not stop , neither do they grow older.
The Elks of to-day are the same in every
way except numbers as they were at the
dawn of organization , and will remain
the same at the evening twilight of time.
Their social gatherings , whether com
memorative of anniversary events or nr-
on the spur of the moment are invnrably
delightful occasions tunes when all par
ticipants have every heart burn removed
ns if by magic amid pleasant hours that
tins wish would have perennial.
The Elks ball at the Millard Monday
uight was one of the social events of the
serson. Every thing was in the most
popular form and the guests represented
the leading ladle * and gentlemen of this
young city. A full report having ap
peared in the BEE of Tuesday last it is
needless to make a repetition now.

rather mysterious in their actions. Ct ri-
osity has been great as to what they
wanted here , what they were coiug to do
and how they were sioin < : to do it. In
fact there has been much curiosity as to
what their business was hero. The quiet
ness of the city has been disturbed for
ever , and Council Bluffs linds itself a
bustling city , and the fact has leaked out
that these strangers arc representatives
of foreign capital seeking investment.
The secret came out by these gentlemen ,
during the past few days of the week ,
making a rush for the Benson & Muyne
real estate company's ofjice. No. 502
Broadway , nnd eagerly Inking advantage
of the great bargains there offered.
They had looked about and being con
vinced that the big bargains were there
quickly rushed in to get them. There
are still some of the greatest bargains
over ofTered.the best chances for specula
tors , the film rest opportunities for perma
nent paying investments. They still
have a number of very cheap pieces of
business and resilience property , which
will bo on sale at their oihce the com
ing week. Call early and cet your
choice.
No Decision Till Tuesday.
The saloon injunction cases remain as
for several days. The motion to change
the cases to tlio federal courts is still
under advisement , and Judge Thotnell
announces that ho will give nis decision
on that feature of the matter on Tuesdaj-
uext. _ _
