A most elegant , quiet nnd unostentatious
nffalr was tlio opening of the bcnutiful quar-
tcrs of tlio Union club on Monday evening.
The organisation , ns Is well knoxvn , com
prises the lending business men of the city
nnd In the establishment of their princely
quarters In Weir block they had not only In
mind their own comfort nnd pleasure , but ,
first of nil , the necessity of Just such n plnco
for the cntcitnlnmcnt of visiting merchants
prospecting for n location. No wiser ex
penditure 1 > f money could bo mnde for the
'
benefit of Omaha. The stranger given the
freedom of thcso beautiful rooms nnd meetIng -
Ing socially the elegant gentlemen who make
this their favorite haunt is bound to tnlto
away with him the most fav'orablo im
pressions of the business men of the Gate
city. It Is a most needed and valuable com
plement to tlio board of trade. Realizing these
facts the club was organized nfew
weeks since , nnd on March 0 the present
suite or rooms wcro chosen ns their head
quarters. The apartments have been en
tirety remodeled , nnd the most artistic dec
orators In the country employed to put on tlio
finishing touches. Tlio results are most en
chanting. On entering the apartments the
visitor is Impressed with the exquisite har
mony of colors In the decorating nnd furnish
ings. There is everywhere n richness of
tint , but nothing garish. Some of tlio rarest
exotics nro distributed in various parts of
the rooms and add greatly to their beauty.
The chandnlicrs nro so arranged that cither
gas or incandescent electric lights can bo
used nt will.
The dining room Is the first in the suite
nnd is finished in antique oak. The counter
nnd sideboards wcro made especially for the
club , nnd nro line pieces of workmanship.
Terra cottn nnd blue arc the predominating
colors In the decoration of this room. The
next apartment in course is the card room
which Is finished In mahogany. Blue nnd
ollvn tints nro the predominating colors nnd
I' nro brought out with cold. To the right of
I' , this card room Is a charming reception room ,
furnished most elegantly with goods of the
best silk nnd wool imported tapestries , The
predominating color In this room Is blue , nnd
is Jlnlshcd In ecru and gilt , greatly relieving
the bluish effect.
Thd fourth Is the rending room , the color
Of which is mainly a light terra cotta. The
celling tins two panels of n light color studded
with golden stars. The lounges and chairs
nro upholstered In light und dark brown
Kussiu leather. The fire place Is of mahog
any.
any.The fifth room Is the billiard hall and In
colors nnd use is the great favorite. Blue in
nil Its different shades is the solitary color
used in decorating , and the effect is most
striking nnd beautiful. The effect is re
lieved by the green cloth nnd amaranth colored
wood of the billiard tables. The
carpet Is of the high nrt design. The tap-
cstrlcs and widow hangings throughout the
different apartments are renaissance nnd
harmonize in color with the rooms which
they adorn. The carpets arc Wilton
throughout. The culinary department is a
valuable nnd necessary adjunct to the other
rooms , nnd no expense hns been spared to
irmko It in every way first-class. The ban
quet served Friday evening gives nn idea of
the skill of the cooks.
In the opening evening there was no for
mal demoustrtioii of any kind ; the members
quietly dropped In , chatted , played cards or
billiards , or sat down to lunch with a bottle
of wine. The rooms uro exclusively gentle
man's apaitments , and the foot of no lemalo
has yet trod on their bcnutiful carpets.

May day is ono of the great national holi
days of Sweden and the Scandinavians of

bration was held at Mctz's hall and garden ,
nnd was largely attended both by Swedish
people and Americans. The festival was
divided into thrco parts , a concert ,

part of the programme. opened
with n flno musical selection by Prof. Stein-
huuser's orchestra , after which Mr. F. B.
Lyinuu spoke glowingly on the subject "Cal
ifornia my State since ' -19. " Mr. C. A. Jacobson -
son next rendered n bass solo In his deep ,
rich tones that always bring out merited ap
plause. Mr. Frank Walter disclaimed the
assertion that the Scandinavians have n ten
dency toward Mormonlsm. The Llederkranz
Blueing society then rendered ono of their
choice songs which was loudly applauded ,
utter which Carl Bohmansson delivered the
oration of the occasion. It was in the Swed
ish tongue nnd enigmatical to the American
portion of the audience , but Judging from
Mr. Bohmansson's earnestness and forcible
delivery and the manner In which his remarks -
marks wcro received by his audience , it was
n very able effort. Miss Bertha Stcinhausor ,
the charming soprano slngernext favored the
nudlcnco with a staccato solo excel
lently rendered. Another bass solo
Was given by Mr. Jncobson and Prof. A ,
Walters followed with a brilliant piano se
lection , A song by the Llcdcrkrnnz
singing society ended the programme. By
this thno It was 11 o'clock , and a long pro
gramme of twenty-four dances was then
commenced nnd did not end until 2 : ! 10 n. in. ,

dance , The success of the Mny festival has
been n source of great satisfaction to the
management. _

Grand Chancellor Colton of the grand lodga
Knights of Pythias of Pcnnsylvania.on Mon
day last granted to Paladin Lodge No. 228 , a
dispensation to set aside , for a period of six
months , the requirements of the by-laws re
lative to the fees for conferring the several
ranks of the order. The following form of
request was deemed by the grand chancellor
to bo In conformity with section 2 , article S ,
of the constitution of the grand
lodge , which directs that ho shall
grant dispensations to set temporarily
arily aside any requirement of tlio by-laws
when so requested in the manner prescribed :
\Vc hereby certify that the necessity of
lodge , No. , Knights of Pythias , of Penn
sylvania , requires dispensation to set nsido
tempororarily the requirements of the by
laws relative to the fees for conferring the
several ranks of the order , and that a request
therefore hns been made by n two-thirds vote
of the members voting.
This must bo signed by the chancellor com
mander , attested by the keeper of records
and seal , with the seal of the lodge , and adJ
dressed to John H. Colton. grand chancellor' .
The Importance of such a form of application
arises from the fact that it is exacted by the
constitution of the grand lodge , which dcfhlca
the dispensatory powers of the grand chan
cellor , and directs that ho shall grant dis
pensations to subordinate lodges to "set
aside temporarily any requirement of the by
laws where the necessity of the lodge as rep
resented by an ofliciul statement therefrom ,
justifies it , the request thcicfor having been
made by a two-thirds vote of the members
voting.
The grand chancellor has said that lodges
which prefer to limit their applications to
dispensation ! ) to confer the three ranks for
not less than $ ( ! will continue to receive such
dispensations when the request is constitu
tionally made , not , however , under cover ot
the annulled dispensation of ox-Supremo
Chancellor Davis , but because the greater in
cludes the less ; and whore the request la'
simply for dispensation absolutely to set thd
requirements of the by-laws nsldo ho must
grant sueh dispensation when requested as
the constitution prescribes.
