How Nebraska Germans IMiinnne to nnil Turn Outside the Defunct. Missouri Val ley yGorman societies nro moro numerous today lhan they hnvo over been In the history of Omaha. Not only nro they raoro numerous , but they possess a largo number of members nnd in thu treasury of each there is to bo -Jfouna a good-sized and always Increasing The objects of tboso societies are varied. Some are devoted to music , some to gymnas tics , some to benevolence und all to sociabil ity. This last element enters Into everything the German attempts through organization. If ho attends rohonitmls o-f tbo quartette or ths larger gesangvorein , a friendly conver sation must precede the uxorciso. If hovlsits the class of the turnverein , the fatigues of the bar nnd polo nnd horse nro lessened oy intervals for rest and Interchange of thought At benevolent meetings , the element of good- fellowship always predominates. So notlco- nble Is this fact that ono cannot but bo im pressed with the method nnd thorouphness of the race in seeking to advance itself and nt the same time pluck the ( lowers of ploos- uro while the members nro yet able to appro- rlato both their color and porfumo. This characteristic of the Gorman is less npprccintod than it deserves to bo because It is not generally known. The nvorago citizen lias llttlo time to study the peculiarities of these about him , especially when they , like himself , nro busily engaged In the affairs of everyday llfo. IJu . oven then , when It Is possible , the Gorman Is llkoly to devote - vote a few nomonts midway in the forenoon and afternoon in tak ing n short rest , nnd perhaps Indulging In a slight lunch. There are some Institutions in the largo cities In which the men uro allowed ton minutes in which to nartnko of a glass of beer ana a small sand wich twlco a day , with results to the em- J'loyur ' which moro than compensate for the Hum which has been so emplovod Indeed , thosamo system ob'tulns in several Omaha institutions , though not in so formal n manner. The unvllego is not abused. The men return to their desks refreshed the same ns the soldier renews the march at the given order after ho has had his ten minutes' rest nt the end of each hour's walk along the highway. When there Is a mixed gathering of sexes nnd generations for social purposes , this peculiarity of the Gorman is moro pro nounced. At the ball , tbo masquerade , the jiarty , the picnic , may bo found the parents nnd children even from the tendorost roars. It may be that tbo father and mother still like to recall the days of youth when they rovuled In the pleasures of the dance. Tholr children art ) permitted tbo same pleasure they once ro- tervod for themselves. To so great nn extent Is this carried out that it tins several tlmos boon noted that parents , children nnd grand children have floated over the waxed floor in Gorman halls in this city to the notes of the name orchestra. What is n source of pleasure to tbo father and mother Is not de nied to their children nor tnclr children's child nin. Kocontly in tnls city there wns found u most remarkable instance of this character i ' istic. There were two classes of youthful nmlo gymnasts , aud two , ono of women nnd ttio other of little girlsgoing through athletic exercises of various kinds , while about the Avails sat aged in on aud women who them selves Ihlrty , forty , perhaps fifty years , before , had gouo through the same exorcises. The performers were happy the spectators were happv , especially these who saw their doscondculs following them _ &o faithfully in the path so skillfully and so wisely outlined. The warm weather has brought indoor festivities to a close. There will bo no moro balls thU season la the Goruiun halls. The gardens will soon bo opened. The picnic grounds will bo raked of the dead leaves which fell last fall as the wall of the winter's wind drowned the lust note of the tlnnl waltz. The leafless trees shall bo decked with verdure , and troops of merry laughing , feasting , happy folks will seek the pleasures which the woods afford. There will bo picnics almost without num ber , but tboso of the Gorman societies will occupy every Sunday throughout the season. Among these which will afford n day's ' out- lug to their friends nro the following : The Concord in , Mcnnorchor , Loldcrkranz , Plnttdoutsclu'r , Tumors , Switzer Gesang- Vorcln , Saxonla , bwnbian and Baiorischo vcroins. i Many of these are vocal organizations and in the meantime nro studiously rehearsing for the grand Nebraska Sangorfest which will bo hold hero next August. This will bo distinctively a German celebration and will revive a custom which , of late years , In this section has not been observed. Wherever there nro Germany there also is song to bo found. There nlso Rs likely to bo discovered n society devoted to the study of the beautiful vocal pieces which have fallen from the pens of the German song-writers. Thcso societies ns a consequence are to bo found in nlmost every city of Nebraska. Next August they will assemble in this city to take part in a series of great con certs which will bo given either in the exposition - position building or coliseum. They will form a chorus of about tbrco hundred voices ono hundred of whicn shall bo se lected from the local singing societies. These will sing the songs of the fatherland which nro sung everywhere on the globe , together with operatic selections from thu latest Gorman works. The programme has not yet been dosldod upon , but will bo In July , when Prof. Dworzak will personally visit all the German singing'societies of the stnto and hold rehearsal with them of the numbers to bo sung. This sangorfost will bo a source of expense to the Germans of this city , who , however , have decided to hold it for the sake of the city , the pleasure the gathering will afford nnd for the cause of music. The visitors become como the guests of thu local organizations , mid to accommodate thorn a considerable sum must be raised. There is no doubt , however , that it will bo obtained , because all the sing ing societies of the city are enthusiastic ovur thu fcst and have Imparted their enthusiasm to their brethren , who can help them with their money if not with their voices. These vocal societies hnvo boon enumerated above and constitute what Is known as the mas'.eiichor. This was organized last year when alllho or ganizations assembled for the purpose of cel ebrating German day in October. Prof. Dworznk was elected musical director and has since boon conducting the rehearsals with the view nbovo outlined. There has not been n snngorfcst hero in ten yours. As long ago as that there wns an organi/atlon known ns tbo Missouri Valley Sungerbund. It co.uprlsod the German sing ing societies In the states of Nebraska , Mis souri , Iowa and Kansas. Thcso held biennial sangorfests and the second of these wns hold In this city. A building was specially erected for it nt tlio northeast , corner of Capitol ave nue nnd Fifteenth street , where the Grand opera house now stands. The association de cided to hold tbo following fest in Lincoln nnd the undertaking was thcro qulto a suc cess also. Kansas City then secured the prize nnd shortly before the time for holding the fost arrived , announced that she did not hnvo a hall largo enough lu which to hold the concerts , and requesting that the fest bo put off for n year. This request surprised the Germans hero , who could not understand why the Mlssoun singers could not erect n hall of their owu , as hud boon done .in this city. There was no fest , consequently , when the proper time ar rived , nnd the Missouri Valley suugerbund wont out of existence. The move of the mnssenchor Jast August , ho'vovor , bus resulted In the establishment of a Nebraska sangorbund , which will bo less expensive , tend moro to local acquaint ance nnd good fellowship , nnd bo much moro easily maintained. This is not the only instance In which Ne braska Germans have been compelled to seek amusement without outside assistance. Tbero was until a few years ago also , a Missouri Valley tur- uerbund. This comprised the same states as did the sangorbund of the same nouio , The societies In the bund , however , were devoted - voted to athletic pa tlines aud were called turners. They held turn fosU every two years , selecting in turn each city in which they had membership. Omaha hold the fcst , so did St. Joe. Atchtson , Leaven- worth and Kansas City. But the buno dropped out of existence too Kansas City again became tirod. She had what sbo con sidered a magnificent team of turners. But , fine as they were , the Omaha team beat them every time , winning the first prizes for al most ovorvthing nnd these some trophies now decorate the walls of Gonnanla hall where the victorious turners now meet. Missouri then formed u state bund nnd of course Kansas City has now a chance to win some laurels. This necessitated the organization of a state bund in Nobiaska which is now in a healthy condition. It com prises the cities of Omaha , Fremont , Colum bus , Grand Island , Ivo.irnoy , Lincoln , Hust ings , Nebraska City , PlattsmouthVost Point , Norfolk and several other places. A number of feats tmvo been held , the next having been set for Plattsmouth. Henry Kummerow , the young man who had charge of the Omaha turners when they won their prizes In the Missouri Valley turuorbund , is director of the association. On next Monday night there will bo a mooting of The Bears in Gormania hall. This organization is composed of old and ex perienced turners whom years ana avoirdu pois have kept off the bars. At these meet ings , however , they undergo a llttlo exorcise for the sake of old times. In these meetings they keep up the idea of a boar , calling everything by a iiamo sug gested by something peculiar to that animal. The president Is celled the bnimin- bear or the bear who roars with authority. The ofllco is filled with B. Mohr. The vice president or second brumm bear is Mr. Hoff- melstcr. The secretary is called the scratch bear or kratz boar and is "ustained by Emil Stein. Mr. Bonuofeldt , the turnwnrt of the turners , is the ornungs bear and is endowed with authority over the cubs. The meetings nro n source of great amuse ment to the turners nnd are now being In dulged m many of the larger eastern cities. Several turners will bo initiated nt tbo next meeting. The old Tenth street btndt theatre has long boon a thing of the piist. But in the rear of the excavation upon which it once rested , stands the well remembered Sunday garden. The trees uro budding nnd the res taurant and balconies on end and sides recall the nights when the place was thronged with llghuhoartort youths and maidens nnd these of moro sodnto aspect , whoso whole attention was directed upon the pluy. What peals of laughter nnd bursts of applause - plauso greeted the well-sung ballad or chorus , the grimace or the wit of the popular comedian. There is llttlo doubt that the amusement days of tha old place are over , and it will , it is feared , bo a long time before another resort - sort will bo able to catch the hold upon the German heart which was long maintained by that primal tcmplo of the inuso , In tnls connection , It may bo stated , the Deutsche Gosollschaft , the trustees of which have charge of Gormania hall , have made ar rangements for n series of summer come diettas in German to bo given on Sunday af ternoons , probably In the hall last mentioned. The performers will Include the well-known quartette , Mr. and Mrs , Bauror's nnd Mr. nnd Mrs. Puls-Ahl , who played hero several years ago , and nil of whom were greatly ap preciated. They hove ployed a couple of seasons in Newark , N. J. , nnd it is said have found fame nnd n fair share of fortune. The performances will commence in May. Streets ItcIoiiK to the People. Xtio York 'frilnme. Another decision of the courts sustains tbo theory that the streets belong to the people , and that a city ordinance cannot legalize their obstruction , A previous decision de clared illegal many of the obstructions which have long annoyed foot passengers , and the general terra of the court of common pleas has Just expressed the opinion that the streets are already Inadequate for the use of the public and cannot bo given up to other pur poses. The courts have laid down principles under which citizens can obtain relief from the evils which they have long endured , and it only remains for thorn to make nn earnest endeavor to have the laws enforced nnd thus do away with many of the discomforts of travel along the public thoroughfares.

The Procession of Fruiterer' * The Men AVIio Sweeps the Streets anil the Force Which Ijnliors on the IliiilronilH. The Italians of Omaha arc , practically speaking , an unknown quantity. As a rule , they associate with but few people except those of their own nationality. They have no well-known organization , are not identi fied with the professions , and , as n rulo.mako n living in selling fruit or working in the street swooplng gone at night. For n long time what was known as Dajo alley was tno proat Italian quarter. This thoroughfare , If Indeed n thoroughfare It maybe bo called , Is a bloc it long. It extends from Thirteenth to Fourteenth , between Jones and LoavonworUi streets. Until recently it was lined on either side wltli a row of ragged , rotten and rusty rookeries which did not have a counterpart in Christendom. They ante-dated. A. U. Jones' historic hat. They had been tottering to their fall before the government sturtod to build the proposed postoMce. They were tottering even when the owner pulled them together , put them on wheels and sent them elf lor depraved purposes in some other part of the city. Their companions on the north sldo of the ullo.v remain. They ere innocent of paint und guilty of grime. Their broken windows are patched with llanncl shirU and the doors nro hung with broken hinges. In some places the stops have disappeared and where they remain they nro crooked , halting and unsteady. In these wretched -structures domesticate the largest contingent of the sons of Italy. Those dark-skinnod immi grants are as n rule unmarried. They have little need of a cook. In winter they make solid mc.tls out of mncaroni. In sum mer they get some stale broad from Garneau's bakery , : i a pot of beer from the 'saloon and neighboring a water melon from ono of the fruit jobbers. This gives them a meal fora/day. At night tbo.v are .nM , fastidious about tholr couches. A gunny sack illlod with huy and thrown upon thoj iloor , gives the slum- bercr a couch of down. > Sometimes he di vests himself of his outer clothing , but fre quently ho does not. jli\i llio latUir way , ho saves a gioat deal pfi tune especially If , In the morning , bo ( must mvuko early to attend to the duties of , lha day. In ono of those structures , at ono time , not fewer than thirty-live Italians were quartered. Some of itheso were fruiterers , some laborers in the mber yards , others on the railroads and otbcrt | > tlU members of the will-o'-the-wisp brigad. .which nightly and silently remove the apcumulatod dust and fllth from the paved , % trjots. ) Of the lust- mentioned class there are about fifty. They have been working' , at the business for the lust six years. Although Italians are not especially sought for this employment , a greater percentage of them than that of any other nationality scorns to find it congenial. They nro paid 15 cents an hour. Kxcopt in bad weather , they work not fewer than ten and sometimes as many as fifteen hours. They are appreciated by the contractors because - cause they do not Idle. They smoke their horribly blacic pipes , Indulge in hut llttlo small talk , and apply themselves studiously to the dirty work they are engaged In , They sleep the greater part of the day and oarlv In the evening nro fresh for another night's work. As a rule , these men nro not spon J- thrlfts. Yet it Is not apparent what they do with their money. They never employ It In personal decoration. Their clothes are dingy and rusty and savor of manufacture beyond the sea , Neither do they put their money Into real estate or homes , Some of thorn , of course , send money to Italy , but us a rule they make no demonstration fa disposing of the wealth. The wonder is , how ever , that they do not become wealthy and nsplro to ascend a peg or two hlgor m the social scale. There Is another class of Italians who nro not of the hard-working order. They deal in fruit and make n living through a great deal of patience , able-bodied standing in the sun of summer or stamping in the blasts of winter over their carts. Thcso vehicles may bo soon on nlmost every street of the city. Thoj nro loaded mainly with bannanas. When trade is brisk the vendor makes from &J to ? 10 per day , the profit from which Is at least f > 0 per cent. Many of these peddlers took up quarters some time ago in the alloy above described , but -have since moved to other parts. A number of them may bo found on Fourteenth " teenth street between "Jones and Leaven- worth , and when they start out In the mornIng - Ing they make n small procession with carts propelled by human equines. Another colony of Italians resides on Fourteenth street between Pacific ana Pierce streets. The majority of those , however , are married and have a little personal property upon which they pay taxes. At various seasons of the year , the Italian population is creator than it is nt others. At such times the hands who Und employment for the greater part of the time on western railroads find abiding places. They nroelther waiting for something to turn up or uro tem porarily disabled They always depend upon an ngcnt generally of tholr own countrymen and who , of course , speaks both English and Italian. Ho secures employment for them , charges them n commission nnd In every way looks after their interests. The agent is on good terms with railroad contractors , and is respected by them ns possessing inlluonco over his men which no other person could exorcise. The sumo kind of ngcnt acts with the same companies generally for Chinamou. This custom has led to Aorious misunderstanding , the impression having gone abroad that those Italians are Important to this country on labor contracts , which is in contravention of the law. It was doubtless a misunderstand ing of the system which led Special Agent Lester to bcliuvo that certain woll-Known corporations of this city were engaged in violating the law There aru about half a dozen Italians on- gaurod in the tnanufacturo of chalk nnd com position statues and articles of house orna mentation , who are said to bo doing a thriv ing business. These pcdd'crs ' may bo seen ntalltimosof the voar , and although they know but llttlo of the English languago.thoy make a number of light but renumorativo sales among the humbler classes. In the cause of music there uro about n dozen resident devotees. They play a variety of wind and string Intrumcnts , especially tha harp , and enjoy a fair share of patronage. They play , generally , with the expression peculiar to n race of people who nro musicians ns if by intuition , and nro gradually making friends nmong the muslc-lovori of the cltv. The Italian population of the city has been estimated nt from live hundred to two thou sand , but 1,000 would ba n fair estimate for the number who now reside here. As n rnle , tboso do not like to bo spoVon to about their countrymen. They regard with suspicion the man who attempts to obtain Information from them on the subject. The attempt Is generally - ally futllo , resulting In the admission that they know nothing about the mutter and the admonition to sea some other person. The fnto of a number of Italians In Now Orleans recently , sharpens the suspicion of almost every member of the race when spoken to by n stranger on the subject. They feel thai to bo addressed on the subject Is to be classed with the men who murdered thu chief of police of that city. This fooling is experienced by oven tholcadlngmrn whoseom to fool keenly the lynching Docnuso It at once reflected on their countrymen all over the country as members of a society and as beyond yond the palo of the law. It must bo admitted , however , that It Is with Italians as it Is with every other na tionality. They comprise good , bad and Indifferent - different men. The race claims It snould not bo hold responsible for tbo crime ? of a few. It also holds that it U in the main composed of law abiding citizens. Its members regret that they are innlignod when ono of them goes astray and assort that it Is unjust because the proportion of their criminals to the population it less than one- half of ono ) Xr ! cent. The existence of a branch of the Mafia in Omaha is scouted by the best Italians. Ono of them yesterday said the strength and tin- IMrtunco of the association had boon entirely exaggerated. Ho had rosldod in Italy nearly all his life and hnd heard of the Matin for the first tltuo only tbrco years ay Ho was sure It did not exist in this city , and that if it hnd private assassination as one of its objects , ho know It would bo discountenanced by the majority of Italians residing " in this city. This opinion was shared" by n couple of well known Italian citi/.ens who have resided hero for years , \\ho are among the most prosperous - porous of our people , and who greatly regret the opprobrium whicti has been cast upon their countrymen.
