There wcro a great many present notwithstanding the coun ter attraction of oporn. The abundance of flowers in the parlors and dining rooms added to the beauty of the scene. Thu supper was unusually fine and included every delicacy. The east dining room was hung with portieres and transformed Into a cosy supper room. Quadrille tables were scattered about decorated w ith flowers. The programmes were as rich as anything that has been peon and bore the monogram of the host in bronzo.

A Successful KafTec Klntch. Decidedly the most novel and attrac tive church entertainment that has been given this year was the "Kaflb Klatch , " at the St. Alary's avenue Congregational church , under the auspices of Airs. Dr. Jones , Airs. A. S. Stiger , Airs. W. J. Cou ncil , Airs. R. E. Gaylord , Airs. J. W- . Griflith and Airs. Fred Gray. The church parlors wcro transformed into a veritable Dutch parlor , with large chimney and tire place , and andirons u hundred years old , a spinning wheel , old chair and wooden shoes , making a very attractive corner. Another feature that was much admired was the case of shells filled with pewter plates and old Dutch china. The walls were hung with Dutch hangings , reaching from coiling to floor. Banners , pictures and odd bric-a-brac filled the spaces between these hangings , making the whole cfl'ect antique and picturesque. The tables , filled with china and silverware , wore in the form of a semi-circle at ono end of the room. The Misses Hall , Alayiio , Fought , Whithorn , Hurlburt and Wilbur , dressed in the pretty costumes of Dutch maidens , served the dainty lunch , while the Alisscs Connell and Conklmg , in striking costumes of blue and pink , dis tributed the pretty souvenir cups and saucers. Guests wcro received by fifteen or twenty ladies In kerchief and cap and welcomed with Dutch hospitality. At 0 o'clock three or four hundred people ad journed to th . bo.'Jy 9J tee church and listened to a choice programme 6l music. Each number was deservedly encored. Alax Lentz showed his thorough knowledge of the violin and hold the audience spell bound with his masterly touch. Mr. Brigham's sympa thetic tenor voice was at its best and tilled the auditorium with Its sweetness. The well trained choir under Air. Nor- thrup's direction sang with great sweet ness , and appropriately closed the en tertainment. The ladies are to bo con- A man's judgment la part of his for tune.

Salt Lake Herald : Natural gas is now being used at the salt works at Lake Shore , the old Utah Central bathing re sort , for the purpose of making salt. The experiment has only been n > cently tried but so far it has proven to bo a most un qualified success , and the proprietors arc jubilant over the result so far attained. The method employed is the vat princi ple. The water-is pumped from the luke into a vat , raised a few inches higher Thtm.thc ono in which the salt is made. The two are connected by a pipe , the month of which is protected by a fine wire sieve , which prevents any foreign matter entering the lower vat. Under neath the lower vat , which is twelve feet by live , and fourteen inches deep , four largo jets of natural gas are placed , awt these give out an extreme heat that is simply remarkable. The gas wells wore struck accidentally , or rather while the owners were driving for water , and they are now turned to better advantage than the water could have been. The method of making the salt is an ex tremely simple ono. The water is run Into the largo vat , the gas jets lighted , and when the brine attains great heat , the salt , being the heavier Dody , sinks to the bottom , and the magnesia , alkali , etc. , float on the water. The sail Is gradually drawn away from thn im purities , and when the operation ends the result is clean , white salt , such as makes some of the brands now on the markets assume an ebony tint by comparison The salt is claimed to be much purer thar any other similar lake product , and il snowv whihteness goes for aught , they certainly have good'grounds for their as ssrtions. The using of natural gas cuts down expenses materially" , ami it 1H2Y yet bo that natural gas will form ono of the great natural resources of the terri tory. tory.As As the weather occomes warm the lice in the hen houses will find a starting point from the nests containing the setting hens.

" " AN EX-OMAIIAN IN GERMANY , nterosting Letter From J. Berlit Who Re sided Hero Fifteen Years Ago. MEMORIES OFKUEHL , MAGISTER , The Shoemaker's Prediction Tlmt Dill Not Come True Ituriiliic of tlio Bee Oltlcc Compliments Hospitality UxtciiUod. KASSKI. , March 27 , 18S7.-To the Editor of the Bui : : Friends of mine , of whom . still count quite a number from the time of my stay in Omaha , some fifteen years igo. sent mo a copy of the DIK : of Alarch 0 , referring to the suicide of the shoe maker Kuebl. Your reporter , having evidently picked up some hearsay cvi- .lenco , tells a story about myself in con nection witli the late Kuehl , which 1 kindly ask you to correct. It is true that Kuehl hated mo on ac count of denouncing him publicly as an impostcr nnd a fraud , while publishing a report of a spiritual seance given by him at the rooms of Air. Weinistoin , then of the firm of Weinistcin & Kolls. After the report appeared in the Omaha Beobachter , Kuohl showed his hatred against mo on every occasion , and knowing his feelings towards me I found pleasure in teasing the "old humbug" whenever I could. Once , passing his shop , Isaw an acquantanco with Kuehl , and entering , found the latter reading the future of another young man , pretending tending as he did to bo able to ascer tain the future by the lines of the palms of the hands. Having finished 1 asked Kuefil to toll my future also , which ho declined at first , but finally consented. Kuehl was kind enough to paint it as black as possible , prophesying all kinds of trouble , and suddenly dropping my hands ho declared that he did not care to tell mo more evil things than I already know , and even if I did not bbliovo in his capacity my mind might stiller under the influence of his predictions. Kuehl , of course , meant to impress mo with fear , well knowing that 1 should insist on his humbug. "Now then , " said Kuehl , "if you really want to know , I tell you , in a year hence you are a dead man. ' "And 1 shall never sec my fatherland again ? " I inquired. "Never. " was the prompt reply. Pretending to bo frightened "to the heart , " I lett the "magister" laughing over the credulity of tins man , who held me for ono of those weak-minded persons who have no firm dependence on them solves. Though the cause of my leaving Omaha was actually on account of my failing health , it had nothing to do with Kuehl ? predictions , which I always held to boas they actually wore , bosh and nothing else. My debility was brolight on bv se vere attacks of chills and a nervous ness which dated from the very day when the Bii : ; ollico was set on fire by George Anderson , on which occasion I came near losing my life. In order to recover my health , my physician recommended resl from work , and as my mother was still living , I determined to spend tie ! winter withherinGcrmanyand return to Omaha the spring following.

Although my stay in Omaha wa t-horf ? my iutore.-t in regard to the welfare ot < the city and the state of Jsubraska has1) ) always been and will ever bo a warm one , It gives me the greatest satisfaction td hear from year to year of the progreid , both have made.

Then 1 tell thorn , look for in-j stance at Omahaa city which fifteen years' ago had 15.0UO inhabitants and no\v boasts of 80,000 ; look at the buildinga > worthy of a metropolis , look at the many institutions , educational , charitable , religious - < > ligious , etc. , the indn.itries springing up ' and then dare to deny that honest worky1 intelligence , enterprise and energy ' ' these capital faculties are not witlr these men of the far west. There iff nothing perfect in tiiis world , ncithoii under the "Star Spangled Manner" of , the republic nor under the "lilack , ' { White and Red" of monarchy , and .f no.f Germans , cannot understand how it iH possible that frcoborn citizens can creatq Tind tolerate obnoxious restrictions 01 personal liberty , as for instance the pro-d hibitivo temperance laws , Americans will not understand how an intelligcu people can sanction anti-socialistic lawn which shall punish ideas and personal convictions. However , the world moves on , and nrf ideas cannot be brought to the scalibld < temperance cannot bo imbued into tlio people by commandments , the time wilJJ come when more practicable menus will take the place of forcible ones now ia action.

In closing I ask my old friends to re ceive my hearty greetings and if any ofe them , or any citizen of Omaha , evoa comes to my native city on the shores o&j the Fulda , , they may depend on a couliaf reception. There are a number of AiuerN cans and English living here and hnrdiy any traveler passes the old residence of tlio electors of Ilesscn without-looking at its treasures of art , the museum and and the gallery of art , the latter renowned by the greatest number of painting of the Dutch school held by any gallery in the world.
