"I shall never forget Omaha , " said
Mr. Watson. "Many of the tendeiest

mingled with its people , and was a part
ot the fiontier life. The old names come
back to me noxv with a thrill
ot pleasino. Iho old scenes
are indelibly stamped on my
memory. It is gr.itoful to recall
them after the lapse of veara and to
hear of those whom once I loved and of
whom I inn still fond. " .
"Nebraska , when I was first iiim-
inoned to make it a residence , was n
vorj'small plneo in ov 01 j thing but lei-
ritory. I'uilj in the w tutor of IS"I !
was pleaching in a small town in east

unmarried and Inn e no but dens. ' I had
been Uishop LCO'H assistant in Now
York stntu and wsus deeply attached to
him. Without hesitation I nccupled
the siiarge. It was .lanuarj' and in the
middle of a very seveio winter when I
started on the journey from loxxa Citj' .

"Omaha in 1.S-Y7 was a elnir.icteris.tie-
tilly westcin town. Farnam street was
sealccly defined by tlio foxv sti.iggling
stores and houses xxhich inn fiom thu
liver to the foot of the steep lull. Bo-
3ond that was the prairie. Tlieio weio
saloons in plenty , HOV oral hotels and

the loom of Senator Ililchcoek , then n
joung and unmarried manvxith ils bare

onjojed its hospitable floors xxith its

"Thoio vxoio no church buildings and
the beginnings of few church orgnni/u-
tioiiH. Bishop Komper had organi/ed
an Kdiscopal chinch which was home
less and without u pastor. 'Among its
\ostry , as I recall it , was C. W. Hamil-
Ion , A. J. Popploton , .J. M. Woolwoilh ,
T. H. Cnmiiig and John M'Coniho. It
was hard vxoik to find n place for vvoi-
Bhip. The jogishituro then in tension
, occupied Pioneer lwlPl.entod ( vxhoio
Goodman tioxv has his drug store ) and
'
the Claim cldh'nnd othc-r benevolent so

first sermon was preached thoto. Dur

Improvised pulpit and handed me u
note. It read :

' 'An amusing incident which I cat
never forget occured in the eluucli 01
Farnam street. We weio to have i
Christmas exhibition , acd as part of tin
programme , I vva.s set down to exuniin
the children in thuir catechism. Tin
first question is not adillleultono. 'Wha
is your namej" and I looked over th
llttlo group to select the smallest ono t
unswor the- easiest of the catechoslieu
wroblems. A vxco little tot of perhtip
four years mot my oj'o and amid a dee \

your iinnior' The nnsxvor came in
ohrill but triumphant trebly childls
voleo :
'Mary Bovvmnn born in u waggin' .
"The exnmination could not go ou fo
sovcrnl miinitea. Mary's advent wans
typical of that of number of pionee
children thut it brought down the house

the merriment.
"My pastorate took in Council Blufl
os well as Omaha. Many a Sunday

Douglas learning thut the board at the

fered temporarily on vorj' leasonablo

Over two years.
"I recollect lus vtvlilly as if It were
yc loiday .ludgo Conkling , tall , slim ,
stately , punetltlous for all the proprie
ties , and one of the ablest lawj'ers
which Now York has ever produced. Ho
had given up his fedcial jiidgcshlp for
the western distilct of Now Yorkunder
piyinlsei of jiolltlcal inefermeiit , and
after diplomatic service" In Mexico
came to Omaha , much against the
wishes of his familv. to build up a now
practice on the ftonlicr. Ho was a
stickler for correct English , niul the
slang of the frontier was his abomina
tion. Knowing this the joung lawjors ,
never too rigid in their n&oof language ,
Used to expand their vocabularj fre
quently to call outrematks fiom the
judgo. I remember one day in
his olllco Mr. Woolwoith , with
iv qui/zictil look , bioko out in
true fiontior style for the judge's ben-
lit. I shall never forget the tone of
stately rebuke with which the judge
said'Mr. ' Woolworth , it is astonishing
to mo that a joung man of your biccd-
ing and liberal education should use
such atrocious I'nglish. '
' 'Win. N. Byer was then in Omaha ,
iicllvo , vigorous and prosperous ! It
was a great duy In the town when ho
started for Denver with his printing
moss loaded In his wagon. Half of the
Inhabitants were in the stieottoseo

"Christmas was not our only festival.
I recall the Hrt Tlmnksgiv ing as well
as if it weroyojterdaj' . Win. D. Hlch-
atdfron was then governor and John M.
Coniho was in his olllco. Mr , McConiho
happened as t lemombcr it , tobo treas-
uior of the church. I dropped in one
daj" to see him , piobablj-about my sal-
arj' . Quitoaciowd was sitting mound
good natmallj challlngnnd in the inter
change of remarks some one called out
to the governor : 'Dick , all the other
states and territories are going to have
Thanksgivings and jou'll have to issue
' 'All ' called
a pioclamallon. righ ,
back Uichardson. 'Who can vvrito

McConiho volunteered or not , but it was
cairied unanimously thai NebiusKnnot
to bo behind the states should have a
Thanksgiving and that Richardson
should issue the pioclammation. Then
began tin animated discussion as to the
day to bo set. 'Let's have it on Satur-
daj so that wo can sober up on Sunday.
v\a's suggested. The suggestion met
with general approval and Salmday was
the day sot for the first Thanksgiving
while 1 was in the leiritorj * .
"I retail an incident that occurred in
.Tune. I think , Of ISIS. T was in Lewis
Cass county , anxious to ride over in the
countrj to a parishioner's , T missed the
stage. Inquiry in the town brought out
the information that a land-huntor was
in the same ii\ and thut wo could proba-
blj * arrange to hiic a rig together ,
hunted him up and found him. Flo was
a cm uuis looking specimen. His legs
and arms weioof unusual length , encased -
cased inn suit of the cheapest kind of
linen , which looked tis'if they had come
f i oin a second-hand store. Thev weio
splashed fiom head to foot with mud
Hough , coarse boots , filled bj' huge , lln
bonj' foot , wore daubed \viththofriendlj' \
soil of Iowa. But he piovcd a delight
ful companion. He poiued anecdote
after anecdote in mj * eats , illustrating
almost cvorj * topic under the sun the
west , the republican paitv , slavorj' in
the terutorics and the political outlook.
It was Abiahtim Lincoln , f recall his
sij ing , 'If the people of the territories
honestly want admission with blaverj' ,
want it on a fair expression of opinion
of the majority , I am in favor of bowing
to tticir will. But I think'ho added
with a ' queer look'that they would bo
darne'd u > ols. ' '
"Mr. Lincoln was cither then securing
the quuitor section which ho owned in
Iowa or inve.stigating its value. Ho
spoKe a day later in''Council Blufls.
Among the crowd dressed in their bent
he stood in his linen suit , the mud spots
still ihero in spite of the brushing and
the boots by no means on regie for an
orator. But what a. speech , lie was
the greatest stump speaker I ever
hoanl. The audience was elootrfied and
was swajed at will by the now or of his
oiatorj- .
"It has boon manjjearr since I huvo
scon Omaha. The occasional messages
which I got from old friends grow moro

ilicmber me , ] ) oi'lmis ] not as vividly as I

I must do clviliro and educate every om

I'.M.SSll ) vvriloit in big letters little
Indians vv ithout any schools in our coun
try ; groveling in ignorance , groping
blindly for tight ; ignorant of Oed ami
the Savior of mankind : bowing down to
idols of wood and stone : and all this is
in our own country under Iho slars and
'
slrti > es of freedom'tinder Iho very shad
ows of the CCO-.3 of Christ , and almost
within thu MM ml of chuich bolls in the
west. Shame upon our civill/ation ,
Minnie upon our juslice nnd slunnu upon
our C'hrislianllv. Those good people of
Boston , New York , and Philadelphia
and other cities who ate anslous about
the heathen of other lands had better
look to Iho heathen of their own land.
Every one of these i2l,8S ( ) Indian child
ren of a schoolable ago should bo in
school and we should provide schools
for them. The govcinment will not
do it ; it is too mean and will only pilfer
and rob the Indian of his land.Vo
should have a do/en such schools as
Carlisle , Hamilton , and Forest GIOVO.
They do good but they do not wholly
moot the wants of the Indian. The
children should be educated at home ,
a1) ) far as possible , that wo may have the
inlluence ot the children unon their
juronls. Look at the example ot our
foreign population : in the last eleven
jears ox or l.ooS.UOO immigrants fiom
every country in the world have landed
on our shores and assimilated with our
people. Kvery year more foreigners
come than the whole Indian population
in our country amounts to and they dis
appear in the great mass of our people
and assimilate with them and wlijV
Dccause * they enter our schools as soon
as they come and begin studjing our
language , manners nnd customs. I
would have every Indian educated in
our Innguago and not his ow n ; stop the
Indian jargon and teach them to .speak
I'nglish. Then we can civili/e and
chriitiani/o thum and point them the
way to God.
All tribal relations should bo seveied
ns soon as possible , and the Indiansseat-
tered and put on farms. When thej be
come farmers they will cease to bo war
riors , and all danger fiom them be at an
end. The government should help
them liberally , giving them seed to sow
and farmers to shoxv them how to plant.
Cattle , hordes , implements and wagons
should be given them. They should be
eiiunii.iged lo work , but not compelled.
The truth is we can do but little with
the old follows , but the .voting ones are
as blank sheets of wluto paper unon
which wo c.in make anv , kind ot an im
pression xve please. Tl-o older one will
soon pass away and Ihe joung ones take
their place * , timl then w ill come the real
civili/ation , education and refinement
of the Indian race in our country. It
may take two or three generation to per
fect the work , but il can be done if we
are pitiont and linn , and the Indian
can bo educated , civih/cd , i dined and
assimilated with our laws , people and
religion.
While the Indians aie dependent on
the government tor support I would not
allow any parent his rations of beef ,
Hour or 'anj thing unless ho kept his
children in school. This would conquer
the most sullen and unruly tiibcn'and
compel them to educale their children.
Hut Ihere is little tiouble in getting In
dian parents to send their children to
school ; all that 1 have seen aie glad to
do it. and seem lo understand as well as
vv Into people thu importance of educa
tion. "Tlio white man's loud , " as thoj'
call it , is a favoiite ro id for them , and
the children will go to school willingly
if thej' arc kinrtly treated ; and if they
don't go willingly their patents will
m.ike them go.
This question of Indian education ,
civ ili/.ition find t'liristiani/ation is one
thatappcalsstrongly to the w hole n.ition :

moans the verj highest social endorsement

There were about u do/on exceptions to the
last ussertlon in thut puragiaph , nnd they
weio the teportors fiom the important dully
Jouinuls. They were us careful evening
toilets as an j boil v ; the v mingled with the
rest of the assemblage ; thej diincod if they
pleased ; thejpaitook of the supper and they
vvero Indistinguishable fiom the other gentlemen -
tlomon , except when engaged in u small
room apart writing their accounts. How ,
then , did thej- fall to get the biand of < iuint-
cssont social approval I I will tell j on. For
these balls a number of very fashionable
men , in this case u hundred , named each
seven persons to be invited. Not onlv wore
thej' eh irged to select proper individu
als , but the lists were scanned closely by a
special and export committee. Now , this
"host society" of ouis Is alvvijs desirous of
Itself pleasantly published. Of course , it
wouldn't do to Issue icgulur Invitations In
blank. On the other hand , the city editors
of papers refused vv hen the question was
raised scvci al vcurs ago to send rciwrters
to hang about the doors and poop through
the kov holes. That might bo done for the
sake of Important news , but not for uny ball.
Mrs. William Aator happened to bo thu con
trolling spirit In the test instance. She set
tled It by apolntlng | a press committee of
two beaux , whoj jiersonallj'convejed to the
editors the Information that ono reporter
from each journal would be received on pro-
hontniR his credentials , and the perfect freo-
doin of the ball would bo given to him. That
example settled the usago. Chosen rcjmrt-
ers uro honoicd guests at the most exclusive
Delinonico occasions. This time there wus
pointed out to me a reporter dancing with
the helretts expectant to three millions , and
to whom ha hud boon Introduced by his
former college chum , the son of a Crcusus.
Two nights later the great auuual charity
ball occuri cd. Hithci to for several j cat's the
swells Imvo bought tickets llbcially enough ,
but have used them onlj foi the ( impose of
sitting In the bosos of the Metiopolitan opota
house , v\ hoi o thu affair Is hi'ld , and loftily
looking down nn the commoner dam crs for
admission Is sold to all loputublu npplicnntx.
Hut the ically benevolent mnnngoiesses did
not mean that the institution should go Into
Miluolcsstipss , as itsuielv would in thut wav.
This v car they went aiound with a pauer
which bound the signers to dance ut least
oiuo. It was gcncially signed by the nebs ,
und so , once iigaiu as ofjoiothe ball com
mingled thovoiyikh with the inoicly re
spectable.
The perfume pencil was used considciably
on both these occasions You never heuid of
Itl Neither did nny of the gills w ho used It ,
tintilaftei thcdcviic had boon biought to
their attention. This w us done byuduppur
peddler , possibl\ the Inventor , for they monet
not know n to the stoi c\s The bluck loud was
combined with stiong si cuts , so thut , when
he wrote on a card , u cm lously delicate und
pleasant odor was given out. Thcic isn't
much use in unj' munufattui or catching up
the idea and Moi king the maikot , for the ills
closmoof the trick destiojs its desirability.
"If jou wrilo with it. " explained the seller ,
and illustiuted It on the spot , "especially If
jou do it reasonablv close to the nose of an
uninformed pci son , ho or she is delightfully
und mvsteiiously assailed with a fulnt per
fume. "
The soeletj'gitls bought the perfume pen
cils ut a ? > l apiece and got them Just in time
for this week's two balls When a possessor
was usked to submit her dancing card to a
candidate for vvult/iiig or < | Uudrillo pirtnoi-
ship. she let him write on it the ordinary
fashion. Then she stood with her fuco as
ncarto him as the difTcience in their height
and the piopiieties of the plate admitted ,
sc.ucliou out his wilting on the caul und ,
withhci nitigic pencil , diew a line muter his
name us though to distinguish it The maik
was not good , cleat jet und it had a gicusj-

Four times a weak thoio Is a gicat assemb
lage of fashion at the opera. No one has
told In ( unit the tiuth about the famous com-
pinj ut whoso feet the social cotoiios , the
misteisof : iOO,000XXussomble ( ) m thoMotio-
politan opoiu houso. It Is the most awkward
and unprepossessing tioupo of men and wo
men thnt over tied the boauls of anj' New
Yoik thiutie. Of Mis Lilllo Lohmann. the
] iinn i donna , a ladj said : "Well , I have
scvu her two dozen tunes , but I nev or saw
hu heels unv loss than tin eo foot iipait. "
1m igino the movements of anj one of whom
this is true , c pcclullj when jou knowth.il
Piau Lohma'.n is short und biouil , und
seems to bo made upbelow her head , of tin eo
protuberances of giant pinportlons. Her
taste has not been impi oved by long i esiilonco
in this couutij , and she continues in ouch
new opni a to appear in di esses cut sons to
bring her waist below the top of her hips ,
and w ith such new costume di aped so as to
have a big In fiont leuehing below her
knees She indulges in the most vigoious
dramatic action , but it consists in only two
movements. Ono of these is to cross her
left arm over the top of her bodice , vvhero
enormous ns her aim is , it tests as precisolj *
us if it was laid on u shelf. The other is to
hold her right arm straight in the nil , a la
Baitholdl's statue of libortj' . With her arm
in this lightning rod position she will stand
nnd slug ton minutes ut u time , until jou.vvho
ate watching her , get so tired in one , uiiuout
of pure sjmpathj' , that jou begin to uihu be
fore she puts it down. O > < grand occasions
she and Frauleln Brandt , the second female
singer m thu troupe , both raise one hand in
this way , and stand like two bronze lump-
bcarers on cither side of a staircase reaching
straight up into the air and singing for sev
eral minutes. Miss Hrandt is as thin as Mi s.
Lehmann is stout , nnd Miss Urandt makes
no pretentious to either j'outh or bcautj' .
Of thu men , neither my love of the opeia ,
my respect for the stronger set , nor all the
gorgcousuess und glitter of their costumes ,
can bring mo to any more than that ono of
the pilnclpal six is what is ( ailed good look
ing. Hen Alvnij' , ono of the tenors , Is a
handsome joung Gorman , erect , shnpolj- ,
graceful , genial and youthful. The lost
lepiosent all degiees of absence of bounty ,
fiom ono of the bassos who looks like Gus
tavo Dole's woebe cno pictuiu of tiaucho
Pan/a , to another great singoi who soqms to
have boon cutout by natuio for lifting casks
inabruwer.v In the day time nnd draining
mugs at night. All the men perform what
I Ilippantlj' lull the Goddess of-Llbortj act
w ith their light hands , just as the women do.
And the > all either roll mound the stage
lixo fat sailors , or stalk about llko stage
ghosts.
There Is a womlci fill ballot , numbering
something liku eighty or ninetj' women , the
prettiest , most giaioful und host tiuinod this
goneiation ever saw. Hut it is m.ulo funny ,
to saj' the least , by having to follow the lead
of a personified butter keg , for it would not
be easy bettei to desciibo Mile. Gellert , than
by this simile Her l.mbs uro like columns
of butter , and her torso has the shape of the
contents of a short barrel of butter fiom
which the staves and hoops have boon
knocked awaj. Consequently her dancing Is
peculiar.
And jot. In the fuco of these peculiarities ,
It Is the most successful opera tioupo wo
< n-or saw. It is the candle around which the
gilded moths of fashion flutter us they never
did around any othei. And for u good rea
son. It giver , us teallj the first giando | > cia
wooverhoaid Laugh as wo please utthe
manners and looks of the men and women ,
they can sing like-tho bcraphirs ; llko angels
indlvlduallj' , liku u telestial choir collec-
tivelj. Thpj appear lu the heaviest opera ,
und In such , It must bo remembered , oven so
great u vocalist us Pattl could not sing at ull.
It takes pbjsiquo , lung | > ewer , bulk und
stiength to take u pait in a Wagner opera ,
nnd though grace is alwaj s welcome , no
great amount of elegance , beuuty , or refine
ment of notion is needed for those music
dramas laid Iniudcst times. Who over has
heard Lehmann und Brandt fill that flvo-
g.illcrlecl theater , the biggest on the on-
tincnt , us If it were u parlor und fill It with
thu purest , most liquid melody , no longer
finds inclination to critlciso the gowns of the
ladles or their stage manners. And just so to
hear Nicmann , KoblnHon , Emblad and Al-
vary Is to hear the best male voices ever lis
tened to in New York. Kvcry night the
House U packed , and every night those uion
and women uro bi ought before the curtain
again and again. So , too. Is tlui stage man
ager , for not even Henry Irving ever dreamed
of mounting plujs with such scenery nnd cos
tumes us are shown hoi o. And no wonder.
No government In Europe spends so much on
opera as the backers of this establishment ,
and no government Is moro indifferent to the
receipts at the box onlce than they aru.
