THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY , MAY 11 , 1800-TWENTY PAGES. 1 GIVEN OVER TO DOMESTICITY , Society People Take a Brief Rest from the Mod Whirl , CLARISSA'S ' FRIEND WRITES OP IT , Tlio Few Ilrllllnntly KiillvcnlnR Fen- turns of nn Otherwise Dull AVcok Comliifj Kvcnts Social Gossip. My dcnr Clarissa : Owing to n cold wind , dull , lowering skies or n sprlng-tlmc-palllng of the fascinations of gaiety on the Jaded Bcnso of society , bits of news are at scarce as black butter/lies / among the angels. If you will Ixillovo mo , the past seven days have been well-nigh given over to domesticity , the dull vexations of the annual May fllttlngs , house-cleaning and n monstrous effort to f transform cooking to n fascination and a * clmnn. All these have absorbed generous half of the social world about mo. To bo Htirc , there have been bits of blue In the oth erwise gray skies , an occasional entertain- meat to lend that variety which Is the spice of life , and they have been of such u nature as to render reminiscences tremendously worth while. On Thursday evening some charming tableaux , together with "Woodcock's Little Game , " n clever English comedy with n de cidedly clever cast , were admirably presented nttho Armory for the benefit of the City mis- Hlon. The fact that iioveral of our belles wcro to appear In picture dresses created quite a iluttcr among both the younger and older gen erations of beaux and a mad rush for the front seats was made ns early ns possible. The opening tableau , "Now Clwplots Bind , " by Miss Orchard , was HUftleiently dazzling to the enraptured gaze of the audience without any great flood of light to illumine it. Miss IJuwoy as "J800" wns a beautiful picture. In a decollete gown of black velvet , her handsome face shaded coquhtllshly by a wide Gains borough hat with graceful feathers. Miss Ogden as "Adversity" was touchlngly sweet nnd Bin ] , tempering the admiration * - . , _ . what la beautiful in nature by * the sombi'o story yho sngyesteu. * \ Miss MelCentm , In her usual graceful fashion - \ion , her charming face , radiant with the "light that novcrwfis | on land or sea , " proffered occasion enough for an adoring expression ill Mr. Wheeler's oycs In the pretty tableau of "In Love. " Miss Anna Millurd.nnd Mr. Wilson personated the ' 'Speaking Well" with flattering success , Mies Mlllanl , in n becom ing peasant costutno with a telling archness in her face and altitude was irreslssible. In the play that followed the interest nnd en joyment only ccascw with the fall of the cur tain , and although Miss Shears , Miss Bul- comho , Miss McKcnna and Mr. Hodges came in for the lion's share of songratulution , Mr. How , Mr. Wilbur , Mr. Halo and Mr. Shop pard as manager , followed close on their heels. The same evening the vnsh reaches of the Puxton corridors were iniulo gay with palms , lights and music in honnrof the Ohio club , which gave a reception followed by a hand some flower-brightened supper in the banquet hall. On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Frank Wheaton , to whom new nnd pretty conceits come ns naturally as gravoful hospitality , gave u charming luncheon in honor of Mrs. Stearns nnd Mi's. Hill. Pun- sics in nil their rich wealth of coloring , were chosen for nature's contribution , while the menu cards of heartsease painted by the hostess and thacxqnlsito decorations of the | table wort ) skillfully fashioned to correspond. On Friday evening notwithstanding the furious downpour of rain , calculated to cover the earth with gloom , carriage after carriage. with the uncertain lire-fly glimmer of their lights deposited daintily costumed women at the doors of Mrs. W. V. Morse's handsome residence. The occasion was a card party with ten tables of players , desirable prizes and n mippcr of such loathsomeness ns to woo c'ntiro forgetfulness of the elemental dlsturh- unco out-of-doors. Miss Andrew's cooking class continues to grow with the encouraging vapidity of Tarsus or Adrlanoplo , and her followers are Interested , enthusiastic nnd admiilng to a degree. One woman declared hnt. , ' she stopped at home on Sunday to linalce * soup Instead of going to "church , wiiu the result of a tor- uiueiited conscience and n very unpulutublo llrst course. It Is a curious fact , however , that If by any happy chance now days ono Is asked to dine en Camilla with a friend some dish of unusual dellciousness exposes its com ponent parts to an attendant of thp classes and almost admits ono to u share in its triumph. The riding parties continue with unabated interest , appetite and rose-leaf touches In the cheeks and the belles who ride , walk , und swim will warrant in Omaha , what M. tjaiiit-Saens the author of the now opera "Ascunio" writes of American women : "I foresee the time when there will bo no more pretty women except in America. Ono un derstands why those people have no need of art. " As for the spring fashions , my dear Clarissa , I don't know what to say. The more mannish your dress the more correct you arc. The hats are of a height that iniulo the doubt ful charms of the Bluebeard corphccs alto gether possible to the lords of creation from ? j. uny ixiint in the theater except behind ono VUurming belle who on the llrst night during the entro ncto devoted her pretty attentions to lieu escort , hopelessly undoing admiring beaux In her neighborhood. The Httlo face veils are captivating and the roses bloom arti ficially on the bonnets , naturally and seduc tively on the cheeks and fragrantly on the corsages of our belles. Another week some thing more will unwind itself socially , for the houses are swept and garnished and how can envy , hatred and malice aroused by new curtains and carpets bo brought about with out culling the neighbors In. A Hkutoli of IMKH | Androwf ) , Miss TJ. C. Andrews , who Is ut present on. gaged i aviitliiKourtownswoincii to the art of wholesome , appetizing cooking1 , has a curi ously Interesting history. 13oni on the Island of Mulokni at the end farthest i-emovcd from i _ the leper settlement , the daughter of n grcat- ' beartcel missionary , she imbibed strong Ideas of Industrial reform almost with her milk , in nny event with her bread and butter. Dclng moro Inclined to the preparing of delicate morsels to benefit the appetite than to to the "dainties that nro bred In books , " she became closely acquainted with the domestic economy of the household , particularly with the kitchen. Her education was the outgrowth of Intlmato association wltti educated , well- bred gentlefolks and u course of reading gov- ernoel only by Inclination , She , with her father , oxertoel every possible effort to edu cate the unfortunate women on her native island , believing witli him that. through the mothers only could nny mental bcnellt obtain , Alter the death of her father shocamoto 3tincrleii ; and prepared herself for college - lego , graduating from the sclcntillq course of the Michigan university in 1870. She directly obtalneel u position us teacher of mathematics In the Ann Arbor high school and u year's nervlt-0 us u teacher in the normal school at Oskosh followed , Recognizing the immense satisfaction to bo derived from n siwclnltv. Miss Andrews conceived the Idea of teaching Industrial drawing and with this object bo- e-aino u member of the Art Students' league In Now York. In 18S1 she went to pass the mimmor holiday with an old friend and classmate - mate , Allco freeman , then president ot Wei- lesly College. Hero she remalncel for six years teaching ethical und philosophical com position In the freshman year. Meanwhile the Industrial mania which had always been her motive power nnd the luimnno de-slro to i nit herself In touch with the world about .icr moved her to missionary labors In un trodden llelds. An opportunity offering It- belt she organized In tlio neighborhood of Wellesly , the "Elliott , " mi enterprise having for Its object the education of thirty girls imablo to pay the regular col lege tuition. Hero thuy bud n cooking teacher from Boston und Miss Andrews , In audition to the manifold cares of management , found un hour u day to study this admirable art In ull Us perfection. Later , bavlng n call to "pastures new , " she > mMittoiiunbler , O. , to organize it cojjege , jr * und remained two years working constantly to encourage the various modes of normal training. However , she soon iwvolved that tlio publicwns too Laodicean in Its Intoivst to promise the materialization of her pet fcchcmo. Vpon leaving Humbler she went to I ufuyette , hid. , where she attended thostuto agricultural cclle'go und dovoteel her tiino und ' .o luo tudy of bortlcultuw mid wood carving , Hero Mrs. Ev.-lng ofllclatcd na pro fessor of household science , nnd upon her resignation to go to Kansas City to lecture. Miss Andrews decided to accompany her , nnd since then they Imvo worked together In thnt city nnd In St. Joseph. Much of the heart is mixed up with this un tiring brain history , thcro having been nny quantity of thrilling romance ns leaven throughout the busy years. Miss Andrews Is nn exceptionally cosy , graceful talker , thoughts and phrases uniting to delight the listener. She Is thoroughly convcrsnnt with a wldo rungo of subjects mndo familiar by travel nnd study , and Is strongly socialistic In her views us becomes her early training In tha far off sun touched Island. In 1875 Miss Andrews was ciillcel to Asia Minor to attend an ulllng sister , nnd this visit wns productive of now Ideas gleaned In the old world. With nil this you may combine the ability and dellcato tact of a woman who can prepare food before your face ami eyes at this tlmo o' the year , talking charmingly meanwhile ot what is palatable ns well ns what Is not with the result of nn nviuit gout for a later enjoy ment ot the work of Imr skillful hands. ' She would out-Bellamy Bellamy In her scheme of things wcro nil housewlfes as clever nnd as dainty withal , the elomcsticworrles would un- tnnglo themselves , the lorels of creation would look on prlduful nnd wondering and "then to breakfast with what appetites.

On last Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Austin of Orchard Hill gave ono of the most novel nnd original entertainments that has been given in Omaha. It was n "Poverty Party" in honor of Mrs. Muy Wilcox of Hutchinsou , Kan.

[ Special to Tiir.3 Bnn. ] It will bo remembered that n week ngo today Governor Thnyer received complaints from residents of liurt nnd Thnrs- ton counties that Texas cuttle wcro being shipped Into these communities In violation of the quarantine laws of the state. Ills ex cellency Immediately telegraphed to the sher iffs of those counties directing them to seize nnd hold the cattle shipped In until furthctf notice. W. W. Abbey of Falls City , ono o ) thcjformer members of the live stock commis sion , was appointed by the governor to go to the counties in question and examine Into the condition of stock shipped In. Ho did so and was shown a clean bill of health for the 121 head of cattle shipped In. On making his report to the governor that every thing was all right , the sheriffs werodlrcctcd to release the cattle. Yesterday morning the people living In that part of the state wcro astonished to learn tint f > 00 more Texas cattle tlo had been unloaded at Fremont nnd wcro being driven across the country , possibly contaminating with disease every blade of gross that they touched. The citizens and farmers held indignation meetings and the result was the appointment of a committee consisting of L. II. Cobb and J. S. Tcintnon. commlssion&rs of ThurMon county , and Messrs. A. O. Abbott and D. N. Wheeler of Thurston county , F. B. Berber of Cumingand O. J. Irish of Sloan , la. Thcso gentlemen came to Lincoln this moniliig and held n conference with Governor Tlmycr. The conference resulted in the governor tele graphing the sheriffs of those counties to quarantine the Texas cattle on the grounds where they now are. The su perintcmlcnts of the Elkhorn and the St. Paul and Omaha routes are ordered not to ship any tnoro west ern or southern cattle. Meanwhile the governor had telegraphed to the sheriffs of Thurston and Burt counties , notifying them to hold the 1121 cattle of the lirst shipment If they had not yet been re leased , but it proved too late , as they had been turned over to their owners several days before. Mr. Abbott says that F. D. Wilson and Henry Wilson , brothers , and their partner. Stauffer , arc tfic shippers of the cattle and that they are the owners of a largo largo ranch in Texas from which the above mentioned cattle ucrc shipped. They adopted a smooth method to introduce their stock here , llrst renting the Farley pasture on the Omaha reservation ostensibly for the purpose of grazing sheep. Instead of bring ing In the sheep they quietly sent in the 1'Jt Texas cuttle mentioned ns a "feeler , " and finding it worked all right sent in an install ment of HOO more. The fanners in that part of the state are very indignant over the af fair. According to quarantine regulations no cattle from the Texas cattle country can bo shipped into Nebraska from May 1 to November 1. ' . JMS. iiAUNC ? ' IICTLT. Mrs. Barnes is very indignant over the reply made by her husband to her petition for n divorce from him nnd files another paper in court denying every allegation made by him. She asserts that ho is falsifying in regard to the property owned by him and that ho is ns llrst asserted by her n man of wealth and in dependence , yho declares that she never threatened to leave him until lie had by his constant acts of cruelty made life un bearable and had endangered her health and life. She emphatically denies over being guilty of using any scurrilous or pro fane language toward him. She declares that his children by a former divorced wife wcro treated by her with the greatest kindness and that they wcro never compelled to leave homo on her account } and if any of thorn left it was because of their Inability to live in peace with Barnes himself. She denies that she ever agreed to any separation without a divorce , but says that she was induced through threats and false representations to agree to accept $11,000 as alimony and support , for her infant child in case u decree of divorce was granted. Barnes , she says , agreed to return to her cer tain personal property that belonged to her before their marriage , but now refuses to do so. so.Sho denies that she was in indigent circum stances at the time of her marriage , as she was making a comfortable Hvingas a teacher. She asserts that her husband did not pay for her wedding trosseau , as ho claims , neither has ho spent any considerable amount of money on her slnco their marriage. She as sorts that the paltry debts contracted by her before her murriago and since paid by him are much less in value than the per sonal property belonging to her before marriage and now held forcibly by him. She denies having received largo sums of money fur traveling expcnse and asserts that she has not been over twenty miles from homo slnco her wedding day. She has never de manded nor received any luxuries from him , and has not altogether received over WO from him for clothing , and at this time is in need of suitable clothing. Barnes was given until Wednesday to file counter nflldnvita upon the question as to whetm-r ho should bo made to furnish $20 per week us alimony for his wife. A noi.ii UAYMCIIIT iionnnuv. S. Greenstone , the pawnbroker at 12.17 O street , is the victim of ono of the most clev erly planned nnd executed robberies perpe trated In Lincoln for many n dav. The sus pected confederate entered Mr. Greenstone's store aud pretended ho wished to purchase a watch. After examining several the fellow got into nu argument with the pawnbroker concerning the works in ono of the watches and to back his opinion offered to bet $5. Greenstone unwittingly accepted the but , and each started off to llnd a Jiulgo to settle the matter. The pawnbroker took the precaution to lock the door and returned in about ten minutes ami found the stranger waltlni' for him. On looking Into his show case the pawnbroker was astonished to llnd It hud been ransacked , and twelve gold watches , two diamond rings , two trays of gold plated chains nnd $10 in money taken. An open window at the rear of the store dis closed the means of Ingress and escape of the bold daylight robber. On going to the front of the store. Mr. Greenstone discovered that the stranger who made the bet with him had vanished. The merchant went immediately to the police station and told them of the cir cumstances and left u description of the fellow who had enticed him away from his store. Half nu hour Inter the polled discovered the fellow at the corner of Thirteenth and N streets and promptly arrested him. On being taken to the police ) station ho gave the name of Noah Stroble , but ho was later identified as an ox-convict named Frank St. C'lulr. None of the missing goods were found on his poi-son and lie iiltccts great innocence. Later another stmugor appeared at the police sta tion and offered to go Stroble's , alias St. Ulalr's sccurltv , nnd the police promptly ar rested him also as the probublu perpetrator of the robbery.

WILL LAWLER , Manager. methods ot the whisky trust and the methods pursued by it in closlne Tip small distilleries , 'i'he judge has been in Peoriu the past mouth nnd the facts presont6d in the report , wcro gleaned there. The Judpo says in brief : The certificate of incorporation of the Ne braska distillery company was Hied in March , 18SO , the amount of the capital to bo $100,000 and the company to continue in operation until IDOIJ. The business1 , was continued until December , 1887 , the company at that time cm- ploying from llfty to sixtyhands , consuming lX)0 ) bushels of com per day and producing 27,000 gallons of alcohol per day. At that tlmo Joseph B. Grcci\hut \ and other owners of stock in distilleries , north and west of the Ohio river formed tno distillers' nnd cattle feeders' trust , with headquarters at Peoria. The object of this organisation , us is well known , is to control as many distilleries ns possible. The mode of procedure is to have the company of a dis tillery transfer its capital stock to the trus tees of the trust , receiving1 in return shares of the trust. The trustees referred to have unlimited control of the stock. There are about ono hundred distilleries in the district referred tt > and seventy-live are in the trust. Only fourteen of these seventy-live are kept running and six of those in use are at Peoria. The trustees can and do restrict and limit the production and supply of liquors , thereby en hancing their value. The trust obtained con trol of the Nebraska City distillery by issuing trust ccrtiik'iitcs amounting to $ 85,700. In transferring the capital stock AVoolsey' and II. D. Wilson retained one share each so as to bo eligible as directors. Woolsoy waste to receive ? 3fiOO n year as manager nnd ofil- ccr of the company. Helms transacted no business .since July 1,1SS8 , but received his salary just the same. Ho sold his ceitllicato for RiO.OOO which sum , nor any part thereof , ho has returned to the trustees. On Jan uary 17 the distilling building and tin greater portion of the machinery was sold for $10OJO to Weston Arnold to bo run nsn cereal mill. The stock was cancelled by order of the board of directors and the cha'rtor ordered surrendered. On January 15 Ai-nold assigned the establishment to Woolsoy on condition that it would not bo used for distilling pur poses during the period of the lease. In case it should bo so used the property should re vert back to Arnold. The refcrco flnds that this transfer to Woolsey bv the company re moved from him to the company. That If the machinery was removed from the building the same would become wholly useless for distilling purposes. That the transfer to Woolsey was in con sideration of his surrendering the salary con tract nnd assumption of ground rent lease. That the conditions in the contract wcro for the purpose of rendering the property useless ns a distillery. That the transfer to Arnold and then to Woolsoy wns made so that thcro might bo n trustee to enforce the condition. That the machinery reserved wan to enable Woolsoy to run u cereal mill. That since the commencement of this action the trust has sent Its agents to remove the machinery not reserved. That the Willow Springs distillery at Omaha Is a member of the trust under llko conditions ns the Nebraska City one. That a number of other distilleries have been dis mantled and rendered worthless. That If nil distilleries in the district named were run there would bo nu overproduction , nnd consequently quently many would bo run ut a loss. That in the transfer named Woolsoy and his fellow- stockholders acted voluntarily. Thnt nt the tiino Woolsoy expected the distillery to run , but no promise or nurcement was made by the trustees. That Woolsey got full value for his iiBO shares in trust certificated , which were then worth from 40 to IX ) cents on the dollar. That prior to the time the Nebraska City distillery was put under 'control ' of the trust , it yielded a largo profit , * , fact from willed It would bo reasonable to-conclude thnt the dis tillery might have continued to run under like circumstances WHh iTliko result. The case will probably bo argued before the supreme court the coming week. CITY NEWS ASfb XOTIS. : Since January 1 the real estate transfers of the city amount to * I.OUI,0r. ( .

Frank Leslie's Newspaper : I am in receipt of letters every day asking mo to toll the difference between an assessment and tin old-lino insurance company. The difference between the two are so radi cal that I had supposed every intelligent reader comprehended them. An assess ment company proposes simply to insure one's life anil to require him to pay what that life insurance costs. The-okl line companies propose not only to insure one's life , but to give security for the insurance by establishing ami maintain ing1 a largo reserve surplus find , some what after the style of the bank re serves , sulllcienttomeot any emergency. The strongest assessment companies are themselves beginning to maintain a reserve - servo , and some of the largest ones have a considerable reserve fund , but none of them has anything that approaches the enormous accumulation of some of the most successful old-lino companies. Naturally enough these accumulations have drawn some of the old-lino com panies into other branches of business that should never bo connected with life insurance. They do what assessment companies are not prepared to do issue endowment policies by which a man may insure himself for a limited number of years , and at the expiration of that time receive the amount of his policy without , as some oijo has saitl , having to die to win the game. It is n very easy and simple thing to start an assessment or benevolent insurance company , ami as these companies usually have officers who receive comfortable salaries , many men who have learned a little something about the insurance business by serving in subordinate capacities evolve a plan by which they organize a fraternal order or assessment society , with a high sound ing name , and proceed to gather in the shekels. The difficulty with this busi ness lies in the fact that the public has very few opportunities to inquire into the character of managers or promoters. Matters will go on swimmingly with an assessment company just so long as new blood comes in , hut unless it is man aged with great care and conservatism , just as soon as deatli losses begin to ac cumulate after a lapse of a few years , the assessments begin to bo so heavy that those who are in wish to got out and those who are out decline to come in. This leads to ono inevitable result the gradual shrinkage in the membership of the company at a constantly accelerat ing rate until nothing is loft of it ex cepting its liabilities , with little or no assets to meet them. I do not wish to bo understood as in the slightest degree attacking the as sessment or fraternal associations. Some of them are strong. And if they have had failures , so had many old line com panies before they wore under such strict supervision by the state insurance de partments. At that tiino the latter were managed recklessly and for spec ulative purposes , but tlioy are now for the most part so carefully scrutinized in all their movements that their secur ity is pretty well established. This same scrutiny does not extend to the assess ment companies , however. Almost anyone ono can start an assessment organization , and if ho can find fools enough to como in and join with him ho can struggle along for a few years. The more plaus ible the scheme of assessment presented to a man , the more careful ho should bo to scrutinize it and to inquire into these who are behind it. It may bo sot down as a certain fact that no company , whether assessment or old-lino , can afford to oITei * to give a man life insurance and give him interest on liis money as an investment besides. This cannot bo done. If a man wants to insure his life and also to invest his money , lie must pay a good round solid sum for it. IIo will always have to pay for the element of security , and insur ance without security is little less than trying a chance in a lottery or betting on a horse race.
