Society has succumbed to n state of colhuisi ) none the less complete thut it was suildun and due to Ash Wednesday , bringing a welcome release from social obligations. Not only are the roallv de vout maintaining an appearance of so briety , but the members of dissenting de nominations bound to be in fashion in matters of religion , nro "so glad that Lent is come. " Society in general isdelighlcU that any excuse should present itself ns a relief from the Irksome and Inane round of receptions. The slaves of society will be afforded a recuperation period from lie strain of deceiving themselves and thers into the belief that everything is ovely within the charmed circle of the elect. The golden calf la banished for he convenient sack cloth and ashes and he god of mammon has given place to a Icily whoso inlluuuce is not visibly man- fosted on the regular devotees of soc'ioty my time outside of the regulation period ot forty days. The church is thus made i scapo goat by thoughtless outsiders vlto scoll'at its beautiful traditions with- > ut rellecting that human vanity md self deception is nlono to be een- Mired for this presumptions putting on and oil'of the garb of religion. A tally littering of motives , a thoughtful analysis of all that is implied by that vord , charity , an acquaintance with the virtue of humility , such as may extend outside lliu pew door , might reveal more o the would-be roligiouso than seven so "ions a week of lip service. If the prac- ioal significance of religion was given mlf as much attention as its outward nnd visible forms , not only would the church escape undeserved thrusts from outsiders , but such an example might be set as is properly expected from profes sors. sors.After the resting spell society will got trunk once more before the approach of warm yeathor brings other projects nto prominence. The month of April vill brKtie with balls and receptions and i season of opera is also expected , so : liat the season of ' 87 will go out with a ) lnzc of fireworks , so to speak. Kloenut lieception. The reception given by Mrs. Alma iveitli and Airs. Carter Friday afternoon ivas an all'air of unusual elegance. Thn louse is one of the most luxurious homes n Omaha , and an air of comfort nnd cheerfulness pervades it that is often ab sent from richly furnished dwellings. I'hc cntiro lower lloor connects by fold- ng doors , all finished in hard wood , nnd .he house is heated by steam and lighted f electricity. The costly furnishings of the house , the moquetlo carpets , web like curtains of genuine Brussels , and Turk- sh portieres were enhanced by decora- lions of cut Mowers. The table was beau tiful with its elaborate centre piece and fcstoonings of smilax , and the refresh ments surpassed anything that has _ been served at any previous reception in Omaha. Very few regrets were served , and the parlors wcro well filled from 8 to 0. The invitations were marked informal and were limited almost entirely to mar ried ladies. The ladies who assisted in receiving wcro Mrs. Dr. Dinsmorc , Mrs. L. A. Groflf , Mrs. Copeland , Mrs. Coloni-1 Akin and Mrs. Newton Hall.

Unity Clnb. Unity club held another largo social a Masonic hall , Friday evening , over twc hundred of the best society rcprcscnta lives being present. The programme ! were unique and tasteful and contained sixteen dances. It was by far the besi attended ball ot the season , and was : gratifying success both socially and linan dally. The music , furnished by HolT man's orchestra , was divine. All wht were fortunate to receive aa invitatioi will remember it as ono of the nlpasantes social events of the season. It is under stood that the proceeds will bo devotee to the erection of a new church for the Unity members which on account of tlu rapidly increasing congregation , is sadlj needed. It is intended to ercc n handsome church and parsonage uftci the model of a very liamLsomi eastern cuurch as soon as a suitable loca tion is chosen. The society is in tin most nourishing condition that it ha : known for the last tiftccn years. Nov members tire coming in every montl aud the genial pastor , Mr. Copeland who has labored so conscientiously these many years , must feel well repaid to see his efforts thus rewarded after so mani obstacles.

Miss Wimmscr is accomplishing won ders in black ami white , and has begun a diiVicult shifty in oil. Miss Sprntlcji has painted two panels of mixcJ lloweos , admirable in arrange ment and careful as to detail. Miss Sbultz is busy on a headof Acniil that promises to repay the amount ot conscientious labor oestowed on it. Conrad Iloyd has made several portraits traits of the wealthier Omaha citi/ens and has proved himself a valuable acqui sition to artistic circles here. Mrs. Iligger.son has completed a portrait trait of Miss Mabel Balcombe that is a surprisingly faithful likeness , and shows a nice conception of color. The back ground is a warm , subdued blue-gray , that harmonizes well with the delicate , shadowy face , The drawing is faultless , and the entire handling of the portrait evidences great ability. Mr. Collins has completed a water color that will bo exhibited at Hose's next week. The picture represents a party of rush gathers at Connemara , Ireland , and is a very rare study. The distance is good and the broad characteristic dash of the artist is noticed ut the foreground work. The old boat with its cargo of rush gatherers and the swimming dogs striking out to meet it are bold and spirited in drawing the entire treat ment of the subject shows the unmistak- ble verve that individualizes the work of this gifted artist. The studios are roccivine moro atten tion now that Lent has brought leisure. Avisittolhe various ateliers discovers many nnw and attractive devices for beautifying the homo. Not onlv is a " great deal of decorative work "being done thut is sufliciontly tasteful and ar tistic to merit more than passing notice , but several ambitious canvases indicate n determination on the part of our ama teur artists to invade the moro complex paths of art. The fascination of dab bling In flesh tints has seized on many , nnd in certain instances Iho result is be yond anything that might.be anticipated. Often an inferior likeness by sonio portrait trait painter of foreign repute will bring a generous pi'ico when the work of homo artists , no matter how deserving , will be passed oyer without a word of commend ation.

A PICNIC FOR TDE BULLS. Wheat Oatchestho Upward Fever and Prices Qo A-Boomiug , THE BEARS LEAD A LONG DANCE. Corn Scores n Mnrkctt Advance , With Very Active Traillna-Oats Tend Toward HlRhor Prices- Pork Stands Still. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CHICAGO , March 5. [ Special Telegram to the Bin.l Wheat caught the fovcr to-day and closed % © > fc higher than yesterday and 3 c higher than the day preceding. First trades in M.iyero at bO c. The course of values was upwards thereafter , with only one icaction. The bulls had a picnic , the first they have cxpciicnced for sixty days , and they relished the entertain ment immensely. The bears danced to the bull music and they were not given n ic&t from st.irt to linlsh. No causa fof the ad vance was assigned beyond that which has existed for the past ten days or two weeks , but everybody seemed to realize at once that wheat was cheap , that it was a good thine to have , ana an undesirable commodity to bo short of. With the speculative appetite whetted to a keen edge by the success of the campaign in provisions , and attention turnIng - Ing from dangerous poik and diooplng stocks Into other and more promising channels , May wheat was run from SO c to blj 'c. It then sullied back jo Sl c , moved up to 81 } @ 3lc , the market being steady and strong. A ggreat deal of business was done on the decline and on the recovery from 81 > { c to Sljfe. About half an hour bcforo the closing prices started up once moro and did notbton until MJ c was icached. The last quotation was b2c , with April standing Tic and Juno k'J c. At this range the market acted strong , but eased oil on the curb. Cables were somewhat conllicting ; but con- orally steady. There was a vast deal of gos sip uliont about deals and manipulation , but that was onlv to have been expected on so sharp a bulger. Any motion of values that is not downward has become- associated In the minds of many with the manipulation Idea. There was a continuation of the bull turn started in corn yeiteiday and speculative trading in the a ereirato proved large , there Doing more outside ordeis than for sometime past. Seveial prominent traders Irom tlm piovislon crowd came over and took a hand in the deal , and as the shorts again rushed to lower prices weio lilzhcr from the very out set. The opening quotations were K@ c above last night's closingFirst ) trade being at 40jtfc for May May eased on Jic soon atter the open In i : , but quickly reacted and advanced under lie.ivy general and promiscuous buying to 41J < jC with scarcely an interruption. At tills point Leopold Uloom , who was a big buyer at both sessions yesterday and on the cuib. began to unload , and the market sagged under the pressure of the Increased ollorings to 10 % ( 40Kc , but it did not stay down. The last lialt hour witnessed a recovery to 41'fc and at 1 o'clock 41 @ U'c was bid. This was an advance of l ( < jlXc in the leading fu tures. There was considerable Belling against cribbed corn to-day. The receipts continue fairly liberal , 23J cars being esti mated for Monday. Of the 210 cars inspected in yesterday only sixteen were of contract grades. On this bulge the corn maiUut has shown greater buoyancy relatively waking than wheat. Oats were fnlrly active , but most of the speculative business was trans acted early. This market also had its little boom , May selling from 23Kc up tea , closing within a small fraction of the top. 1'ork was Inactive to-day with the price pegged at 821.00 , though it was SJ1.0. ) for a moment. Several lines \\ere said to have been settled yesterday behvoun SiO.OOand821.00 , but notniugwas done to day so far as can boleained. Tlicte was heavy trading In ribs and a fair degree of activity in lard. There has been consldeMblit selling of meats during the past few clays ajainst country stock * . and to-uay them was unquestionably a good deal of unloading of the product bought for local speculative ac count. Klbs tor .May sold to S-j.8.1 } , and lard to 37.80 , the former selling off later to 88.53 ® 8.57K. and closing at SS.57K , and lard set tling down to 87.05 , where it closed. There Is moro or less of the hog product being shipped to Chicago In quantities suf ficient to ( frown the market. Country stocks are not excessive a < id the countiy production of pork was exceedingly light this season , and any pork which is shipped In fiom the outsldo must pass a rigid inspection. Umuha can forward considerable meat , but Kansas City , St. Louis and other western and southern points do not seem to bo over stocked or to have moro than enough to sup ply their consumption trade. Thn feeling on cuib was easier at Sljfc for May wheat and 40 , ' c for corn. CHICAGO LilVK STOCK. CHICAGO , March 5.
