Marriageable Bachelors.
One of tlio cleverest .young soeloty ladles
of Omaha , one who has ceased to bo a bud ,
but who has Increased her attractiveness
thereby , remarked on the largo number of
well-to-do bachelors in Omaba :
"They are very ntco follows , too , In the
main , " she said , "and I'm sure there nro
plenty of nice , good girls In Omaba who
would make them splendid wives. It is my
opinion , and It IB founded on observation and
rendt'ig , that instead of retarding their
progress in life , as many young men think ,
nmrnogo only opens up new fields , suggests
now possibilities and encourages them to ef
forts which eventually push them forward
in their life's work. This , of course , on the
fuipoosltion that they got the mate heaven
intended for thoin. "
"Oh , no , I would not dare name any ol
thorn , " ho added. "You can easily Hud out
who they art- . "
The prominent bachelors of Omaha are not
hard to find. Ono of the most prominent ,
probably , is Herbert N , Jewett , resident
partner of tlio IIowoll Lumber company ,
Mr. Jowott is considered the catcli
of the season. An excellent bushiest
man , ho Uus an incotno far beyond
the needs of the most fastidious
girl In Omaha. Ho has allowed about fort\
summers to glide peacefully over his head ,
mid they have effected him so lightly thai
Ills face and manner hello thorn. It Is con
sidered n mystery by his friends that ho la
not married , for ho is a prime favorite witti
iho ladles , of whoso society ho Is very fond ,
mill is reputed to ho a great admirer ol
children , Mr. Jowott lives and dresses well ,
and Is very popular among the men , II
seems , however , that ho la a continued
bachelor.
"Joo" Woodward , as ho Is popularly
known , is a resplendent star In Omaha
bachelorhood. Mr. Woodward Is the ad.
inirablo crlchton of Omaha , a tasteful
dresser , polished in manner , a graceful
dancer and an extremely intelligent man ,
Ho is distinctively a ladles man , but is ulsc
very popular with the men. although thej
malign him by saying that ho Is llfty-twc
years old and bald-headed , but this is out ol
puna envy.
Major Charles Potter , the United States
civil engineer In charge of the Mlssour
v river improvements at Omnhn , is a uroinl
nont bateholor In fact , the father of Omaha
bachelors. Grave of demeanor , though gou
lal in his own sot , the major is not mud
given to the joys mill frivolities of society
Ho drcssos well , and spends his income liberally
orally with his friends. Ho Is somewhat ol
an enigma oven to his best friends , whc
think ho should have boon married loui
Af70 *
The genlul and well known Dee Haynes
of Hoyd's opera house , is another man wlu
has not dared to venture on the unuortnu
sens of matrlmonv.
U. S. llerlin , who was the Adonis of tbi
Inst state legislature , and a well known mat
about town , in both social and business clr
clcs , is also a batobelor. Ho is both populai
anil a man of moans ,
Arthur O. Wakoley , one of the you ngo
bachelors , moves in the best society , li
which ho Is an undoubted favorite. Mr
Wakoloy Is considered somewhat fickle
however ,
This sketch of bachclordom would bardl :
ho complete without mention of the wol
known Tom Murray , who aside from hi
other fascinations Is reputed to bo wortl
somewhere in the neighborhood of a coo
million , Mr. Murray is somewhat retiring
find docs not favor society circles with hi
presence , consequently ho has never hud tin
distinction of being best man , nor bad a bah' '
named after him , Nevertbolois , ho has at
Inched his name to n popular hotel , which
perhaps , after all , is more satisfactory in the
end.
A Comlnjr Wedding.
Engagements with the consequent ex
change of rings and pretty promises nro as
thick as blackberries in Juho. The men and
moldons scouting weddings In the near fu
ture find capital for conversation in every
tiling , from the relative steadfastness and ca
pacity for loving of the interested parties , to
the cost and style of the trousseau , that is to
make the bride , if possible , a shade inoro be
witching.
Among the rumored society encagornents
is that of Miss Maude Notowaro to Mr. C.
Will Hamilton. Miss Notowaro will bo re
membered by the people ofOaiahans a young
lady of manifold accomplishments , rare
sweetness of character and aspirituollo inter
esting face. The briuo to bo is ut present In
Eurnno , and the exact date of the wedding ,
which will occur sometime during the autumn ,
is not yet dcsidcd upon.
