Society "Wonnn.
The last week before Lent was duly
crowded with the gaieties that usually
precede the season of penitence. Omaha
is becoming so metropolitan in the num
ber und nature of its entertainments that
to keen in the ring involves a waste of
nervous force that few are able to sustain
without suciihcing for society in ore thnn
can posiibly bq gained from it. The
round has been so unbroken this winter
that in many caacs the female head of
tiio house has required to bo introduced ,
to ber family about once a week , when
Sunday necessarily brought a cessation
in the di czy whirl and gave the masculine
Bine some show for recognition. The
nsunl order of things seems to bo re-
vowed in this progressive period , and in
stead of the hiibband doing the dmsipnt-
ing for the family , the wives nro having a
monopoly of it and seem to take to it nut-
ur.illy. This is a much more philosophic
nnd lady-like method of asserting the
rights of women thnn aspiring to the leo-
turn platform and gutting the reputation
of being strong minded , 'Jhe society
woman is usually pretty deep with all her
apparent nrtlessncss mid klic knows bet
ter than to make herself ridiculous and
frighten away tliu men with nn assump
tion of authority , but she nevertheless
rules her domain with suave , though te-
lenllcss. persistency anil revels in her
sovereignty the mote time it is gained
without apparent ellort. Only men who
IIHVO been made sadder nnd wiser by
means of matrimony can bear witness to
thcxnnrcs and pitfaus of the sweetly sub
missive feminine character.
Tlic 1Cvi'lit of ihc AVcclc.
The Patti concert was an epoch that
crowded all social happenings to the
wall. Anticipation was so intcnsn that
no one felt like settling down to ordinary
ipiiutics until the excitement had subsided.
A few are privately taking themselves to
task for having been borne along with
tlio current , and are slightly embittered
over the concessions ihnt now nnd then
luiva to be paid to fashion. That the
diva was universally admired goes with
out saying , but not many would go
through the discomfort of that night
again even for the queen of song. The
jamming , reckless crowd , the stilling at
mosphere , the uncomfortable scats and
thu plague of intervening bonnets , made
thn end of the concert : i wolcumu release.
Woman who had the slightest regard for
tliu litnoss of things , not to pcak of the
y convenience of others , removed their
bonnets , but a large sprinkling of them ,
with the rolinement of cruelty that is
piu-rminently the tittilbuto of perverse
womankind , kept their heads covered
anil caused morn profanity than six
weeks of fasting can blot out. A Ono man ,
nttur yitlnly n ] ucbtitig an usher to have
nn offending hat removed from before
him , stood up for the rest of the ovcnlni : ,
and his seat was appropriated by another
person , There ought to bo u stringent
law against the wearing1 of bonnets in a
cnncmt hall , to reach those who are too
hellish to bo inllncnced by motives of
roiiMderatiou for others or to tulppt any
fiiioliinnovation until thclr"but" hasBauo-
tioneit it.

CHICAGO iniomjcK MARKKT.
CnicAoo , Feb. 00. [ Special Telegram to
tlio JJir.1 : There Is hnully anybody left In
the provision pit who believes that tills is an
Armour pork deal. A fortnight ace opinion
was nil ono way , and It was unanimous thai
nobody but Armour could uos'lbly gut pork
up from SS.CO to S14.CO. A week ace tliero
appealed a dMslon of unnnlinlty and theio
werons many wlio believed that tlio iwrk
deal was lieam'i niul .loins' no Hint thn
Miniilpulntlon wns Armours. Now , with
May iiork almost lG.OOthcre ate Tory Tow In
deed who bellevo tlio coiner ono of Armour' s.
It Is getting to be bcluncd that theclliiuo hn
not alilcRernian In than N. 11. Itcam , nml
that when Nat Jones , N. 1J. licnm nnd Leo-
jiold itlooin nro nnmed theic aio no others to
bo Included niiiong the engineers of thn pork
squeeze. Tlintlt is a clever manipulation
nobody denies. Iteam nnd .folios were stalkIng -
Ing about the. piovlslon croud inuUoiinp
about "Armour's unholy prnctie.es" uutll
they really pot the ciowd to belieui
that their Indignation was righteous.
Admirers of the latter of those t\vo operators
were for a long whllo holding up their hands
and assevcinting that "JJeam wns not that
kind of a fellow , " but this docs not KO any
loneer. The squeeze Is 1 Seam's nnd Jones'
nnd Bloom's , and tlio shorts must swear at
them. Tlie point is now , can the clique boll
tlio stun ami eet the piolits In sight safely in
Its rockets ? When Ciulahy and the ether
members of thelittlo syndicate sold 1,000,000
bushels of wheat under Tb'c jcstordav they
c.\plalned their sales in this wny : If Uio
Cincinnati clique docs not succeed In corner-
Inc .Slav wheat the price will RO because of
thi'lr failure n good deal lower thnn if tliu
effort had never been tunde. Now how' rnn
May wheat be successfully cornrrcdV The
rule makes winter wheat ifullveniblo on con
tracts nnd 3,500,000 bushels of winter wheat
can bo cot nt St. Louis for n less pnco o > en ,
although it Is n better Rrado than spring "No.
'J at Chicago. All that It would cost
there would bo the freight. There are
4,000.000 bushels of wheat at Blil-
watiki'O nnd 10.000.000 bushels nt
Duluth and 7,500,000 busiinls at Minneapolis
All this wheat is tributary to this market. If
there is a corner lioro every bushel of whc.tt
In the country , winter ns well as sprinc , can
bo bi ought here. Ills a mere question ot
frpight. That wasn't the case In the days
when Armour and Handy nnd McOeoch and
( Ji-orKC C. Walker and N. 1C , Fairbanks ran
their successful deals here. In part nn ad
vance of 10 cents was scared at the \ny
opening , when Mav was liimly held nt
SIO.0 % , and it.- > eon touched S1G 15. A lirm
but at tlio ame time steady tone pro ailed In
wheat and com. The formei o | > cned at
7s'c nnd the latter at HSSfc nnd both stayed
nlmostexactly where thny opened. There
wan not uuoiieh stuff for sale to depress
pi ices nor siifticlent bmlii ! ? orders on the
Hoer to brinij out any derided advance.
Pork continued on up to 510.20. ttieto not
being very much for sale. Whoit wns
fairly bought by local scalpers
but kept > ery steady around 7 , ' 4
@ 78c. Corn picked up dining the
lirtt hour to a > /3sc. The rcgulni dlspo-
billon to clear up tiade over Sunday wns an-
patent everyw heie. As the session advanced
adcaithof news affccttniraliiL3 was veiy
noticeublo in pork. There wns puicticallv
nothing elbu talked about. M.IJleaclied
SIO.L'O , but failed to remain there owlnx to
the absence of either omsidoor local oidei * .
IJy noon Alar had reacted to SKI.07 bid , but
was firm under light offerings. Tlio talk is
for 100,090 hoes at the yards next week ,
which means lizht enough receipts to nttrnct
.some attention and doubtleis evi t more or
loss ol Inllnuncu on the speculative nmil.ct.
] 'tactically all that \ \ hunt bullshad to console
themselves with was the prospect of n de
crease in the v'slble ' .Monday In the neighbor
hood of 1,030,1 OT bushel * . Locally there was
no trade calculated to attract tiny attention.
OHM dining thoinoininir May got ns high as
7sV ' 'Me and ( ell later to7b'i.it7S ( > 4v , not bu-
c.iubo it was beared' but beiMiisc It met with
no support nt all. Nobody evinced any dis
position to trade and oy noon half of tha
regular operalois hud either debited the pit
altogether or were sitting mound idle anU
permitting the market to look out for itself.
Tow aid the close It was steady around Ts c
for Jf.iv , when w heat was weaker. Pork Ml
off to SlS.'j ' ' , but entirely iccoverod. Just
prior to the closing u good < lenl ot intcicst
sprang up in ribs , tlioin.irk.et being bid up by
tfieshoit Interest Corn did nothing whatever
bcioml clinnlnn closely to Ss c. often little
below that tigine , and now and then abo\o
It. The close was steady.
