Notwithstanding that Thursday evening
was exceeding warm , it did not deter n very
largo number of Omaha's representative citi
zens from attending the house cooling which
Colonel C. .S Chase gave at his lusldenco ,
Thirteenth and Dodge streets.
It wns the distinctive event of the midsummer -
mor season , lor so many of the leading pco-
plo of the metropolis hnvo not been seen to
gether in years. It was lllto n loaf out of tlio
pant to look over the nssomblngo nnd notlco
the mon and women who have dominated the
professional , business and snclnl life of tbo
city for ttio past quarter of a century.
It was o gathering ot gray boards and gray
heads , nnd judgoj , lawyers , tradesmen nnd
social favorites knocked elbows and ex
changed pleasnntrlos with people whom they
had mot only casunlly In the past llvo or ton
years.
The house wns brilliantly decorated In
honor of the occasion , summer ( lowers being
artistically placed in thu deep embrasures of
the windows , on the mantels , on the piano ,
\n eiiuisltcly wrought Jardinieres and rose
4owls painted by Miss M. Buttorlleld.
IVnxuu tapers shielded by daintily colored
shades gave a pleasing coolness to the rooms ,
which wcro very reminiscent of the
days ngono when the residence was
in the heart of the fashionable
quarter of Omaha , but which now occupies n
apnco nil to itself nmong big business blocks
by which the over increasing tide of business
Hows. The grounds around tlio comfortable
homo were lighted with Chinese lanterns nnd
looked tor all the world UKB a fete night In
the orient. At Die rear of the house two
largo army tents wcro erected , the interior
bcinif turned into u festal bower where thu
refreshments wcro served by oolorcd wait
ers. Camp stools were distributed Judiciously
for the use of the guests , whllo multl-coloroa
plants euphorbia and asparagus tonisimus
gave n touch of light to the sceno.
Colonel Chnso. nsslsted by Mr. nnd Mrs.
Clement Chnso , Mrs. J. M. Wool worth nnd
Miss Fanny Butterlluld , received in the par
lor , a low ceillngcd apartment which hns
been the scene of ninny delightful receptions
in the past , before nnd after Colonel Chase's
elevation to the mayoralty of Omaha. For
two hours the guests came and went ,
nnd the hand-shaking which the host indulged
in was very suggestive of a president's levee.
In the dining room n capacious bowl filled
with lemonade was presided over by Miss
Jennie McClelland , Miss Drake , Miss Clnrio
Drake nnd other descendants of the "old-
timers. " Miss M. Butturflcld nnd Miss
Moliorn Woolworth assisted in tha ontortUn-
incntof tha guests throughout the remaining
rooms.
"This shows the inarch of progress , " said
Judge Wakoloy , ns he talked to an old-timo
friend , "and the colonel must move with tlio
procession. Yet , I anticipate , it is not with
out misgivings , for It would bo very hard for
mo to maku changes In my old homo after
twenty-flv ? years of continuous living In
it. " And Judge Wakeloy's thoughts found
an echo in every heart of the hundreds who
wcro present to Join In the Jubilation.
The house which Coionel Chase is to quit
In a fortnight for n new nnd much hand
somer residence on Parlc avenue hns n his
tory worth rolnt'ng. It wns frnmed irt
Pittr.bnrg , Pa. , in 183(5 ( by Beadle , the Now
York dime novel man , and brought down the
Ohio nud up the Mississippi and
the Missouri to Saratoga , then a
town larger than Omaha , three miles
north from hero , and erected on n lot across
where Sherman nvunuonow liesand directly
east of tbo main entrance to the present fair
grounds. In ISfti most of the buifdinirs there
were moved to Omaha , as tho" Union
Pacific railroad was then being Inaugurated ,
and this house which wns then owned by
AVilllnm Swosey , was moved down hero for
him by the Uollono brothers who now own
the new Dcllono hotel on Cnpltol avenue.
They hitched on forty yoke of oxon nnd put
rollers under it and landed it on its present
slto in ono dny.
The bay winnow is the first ono over built
In Nebraska. The old house is good for
another trip , nnd the colonel proposes to
move it up to Nineteenth street neur Grace ,
and put a hotel on its present slto , when ho
gets into his now house on Park avonuo.
Thu man } ' brilliant receptions held In the
old house on Now Years nnd other occasions
k when the colonel nud mayor nnd his most es
timable wife presided , nro most plonsantly
remembered by our older citizens.
When Colonel Chasu bought the place the
lots where the Mill-ril hotel now stands ,
were occupied ns u lumber yard by George A ,
Hoagland.

The oftlco of assistant general purchasing
agent of the Union Pacific , with headquarters
at Portland , has been abolished , and F. G.

position , has been thrown out on the cold

This oftlco was created during the Adams
administration. Q
Mr. Wheeler , who was a protego of Adams.
Ho was n clerk in the land ollico before being
made assistant purchasing agent. . It was
supposed to bo his duty to purchase all

purchases did not amount to over $ . "iOO per

purchased by the general agent.
The order aoolishlng the ofllco took effect
and Wheeler has written to friends in this
city informing them of the circustance and
stating that ho would bo in Omaha soon.
The matter Is being kept very quiet nt

At the head of Washington correspondents ,
In fmiio as well ns Interest and power , Is
probably Mr. Frank G , Carpenter , who but
ten ycarj ago \yas , comparatively unknown
and nt work exclusively for the Cleveland
Leader. Ho Is still n voung man , but tnlrty-
five years of ago , although ho hns been long
In newspaper work , mid n slight , unpretend
ing person In appearance , standing but live
fcut eight Inches high and weighing only
ninety-six pounds about the weight of the
Into Hon. Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia ,
who also had extraordinary ability on his own
lines of service. Mr. Carpenter has , how-
ovnr , his lull share of vitality , is of de
cidedly nervous temperament and has
eyes of gray-blue , for whoso aid his
enormous work In reading and writ
ing already compels the use of artltlcial aids.
HU POSO Is somewhat prominent and aggres
sive , his chin long , cheeks hollow , nnd cheek
bones high. HU hair Is of n reddish tint ,
giving him the endearing epithet of "Pinkv"
in his younger days , nnd his inoust.iche
heavy nnd Irrcgtilnr , but rather closely
clipped along the mouth.
Mr. Carpenter is n nntivo of Mansllold ,
O. , son of n lawyer of that city , graduated
from Woostor university , in duo time took to
himself n wife , and is blessed with a small ,
but of course , Interestl.ig family.
After leaving the special syjrvlco of the
Lender Mr. Carpenter rapidly gained a na
tional reputation. Organizing n syndicate or
bureau of correspondence at Washington , his
letters from the capltol were regularly taken
by n number of prominent Journals , nnd
were much copied In other papers. In the
oycs ol "exchange editors" they soon cnmu
to rank with those of Charles NordhotT , Hen :
Porlo.i Pooro and T. C. Crawford. Sonioyoars
ago , in an interval of congressional ses
sion , tit ) imtdo a trip to Europe , and in ISs > n
tour around the world. Ills pen was kept
busy during his travels nnd they were made
pecuniarily very profitable , the last ono p.iy-
ing him about Jll.OJO. For tins Journey ho
made largo and careful preparations , in part
by the purchase of n photographic equip
ment , with which ho practiced industriously
for several months in nnd about Washington.
When in the Hold , however , 1m soon round
the talniicr of pictures Interfering with his
eager search for other materials of his loiters
and was content to buy his pictorial illustra
tions from the shops. Armed with commen
datory letters from the department of state
and from eminent nml Influential Americans ,
butchlclly with hU own tact and energy , he
was remarkably successful in reaching
sources ot information rarely open to the
tourist. Ho is the llrst American corre
spondent abroad who ever succeeded in pene
trating to the secluded and extremely rn-
served courts of oriental potentates , and in
interviewing them in the most unreserved
style for the benefit of his myriad readers in
his own land.
Mr. Carpenter's yearly Income is now
reckoned nt not less than $10,000 , which Is a
vorj hand.somo receipt for a newspaper
writer and imiganinlst. IIo Is regular or oc
casional correspondent for about twenty
journals nnd periodicals , nmong them the
Cosmopolitan Magazine , American Agricul
turist , National Tribune , Now York World ,
Boston Glebe , Philadelphia Press. Pitts-
burg Dispatch , IHuTalo Express , Cleveland
Leader , Toledo Commercial , Chicago Herald ,
Indianapolis News , Louisville Courier-Jour
nal , St. Louis Post-Disuntch , St. Paul Globe ,
OMAHA BKI : , Kansas City Journal , Salt Lalco
Herald nnd Portland Oregonian , oosidos the
American press association.
Mr. Carpenter is gifted with a remarkable
memory , and is said to possess one of the
most ox tensive and valuable scrap collec
tions In the country.
Mr. Carpenter is nt present m old Mexico
ice nnd is making ono of his ro-
inatkablo tours in that land , which
is fertile of suggestions to his able
and prolific pen. The result is another series
of letters which have and will bo read with
eager interest in n number of the leading
pupors of the country and will add materially
to his fame.
Mr. George Granthnm Bain , n follow corre
spondent of his in Washington , himself of no
little reputation , says ot "Carp's" work :
"The chief interest of his articles is in the
abundance of fact they contain. Commenter
opinion is secondary with him. His letters
bristle all over with facts , tersely stated , nnd
compnrisons appropriately made. Ho reads
constantly that ho may llnd apt Illustration
for his work nt every point. He preserves
the writings of others on contemporaneous
topics , nnd when opportunity arises , adopts
the information they contain to his own uses.
Ho is a hard worker , a good writer and a
shrewd business man , a combination which
has made him ono of the best known as well
ns ono of the most prosperous newspaper
writers of the day.
The following are the handsome compli
ments that have been passed upon Mr. Car
penter's abilities and worlc by a number of
his editors :

respondence from all parts of the world.
F. M. Ilix\Mi'.n. :
Washington National Tribune : I regard
Mr. Frank G. Carpenter as ono of the fore

veloped , In a higher degree , the journalistic
faculty of seeing what will interest people

full of valuable facts and observations nnd
nro thoroughly reliable.
Jons' L. MuEi.uov.
Chicago Herald : The Her.ild lias used
Frank G. Carpenter's Wi.shington letter for
sovural years. I regard him us ono of the
most accomplished correspondents now con

made a .splendid reputation for himself and
deserves the good opinion of all who uduilro
perseverance , genuine talent nml undoubted
honesty. H. W. Suvsiofit.
Loulsvlllo Courier-Journal : You want
a word about Mr. Carpenter. Ho has long
been n correspondent of the Courier-Journal ,
and no contributions to this paper nro moro
popular than his. He lias a remarkable store
of intormntion to which ho is constantly mid-
ing by untiring diligence. Ho knows what
is "readable , " and 1ms the knack of getting
and presenting it nt the right time.
IndhinnpolU News : You ask us for a
brlet estimate of the work of Mr. F. G. Car
penter. It seems to us that he has tlio rare
fnuulty of viewing things from the jjolntof
view of tbo average man in every instance ,
and moro than that can relate Ills observa

keeps fresh nnd i * never commonplace.

Philadelphia Press : Frank G. Carpenter
has been a special correspondent of the lead

an unerring Judge of what Interests the pee

Salt Lake Herald : You usk my opinion of
Mr. Frank G. Carpenter us an inlet-viewer

saying that in both capacities Mr. Carpenter
has long been u regular contributor to the

never cnu.o over his signature a line that was
not rich newspaper grUt not a line which

TUB MAJESTIC GIII5YHOUND.
Peerless llnccr of the Turbulent
Atlantic.
The fitoamship Majestic of the Whlto
Star line lias bo.iton all westward rec
ords , says the Now York Coininoreial
Advertiser of August.1) , having iiuulo the
trip from Queenstown to this port in five
days , eighteen hours and olght minutes.
The Majestic passed llooho's Point at
U:1U .a. m. on Thursday , July SO , and ar
rived at Sandy Hook at ; ! : ! ! ( ) o'clock this
morning. She boat the record by ilfty-
seven minutes.
Previous to the porforinunco of the
Majestic the record was held by her sis
ter ship , the White Star steamship Teu
tonic. It was live days , nineteen hours
and five minutes , and Is now lowered by
nearly an hour.
Captain Pursoll of the Majestic and
the several hundred saloon passoncrors
were filled with nnthusiasm when they
learned this morning Unit they had
journyod across the Atlantic in such n ,
short.spaco of time , hi addition to this
the rapid voyngo wits an exceedingly
pleasant ono , the weather being gener
ally fair.
According to the ship's log the day's
runs of the voyage \vorff made as follows :

In five days 2lXiO
This moans that the ship maintained a
continuous speed of twenty-four and two-
thirds miles per hour night and day for
moro than live days , a feat unprecedented
in the annals of any motive machinery
over invented , and equal to the average
speed of an express train , when its fro-
quo nt slops are taken into consideration ,
while no locomotive could maintain that
speed for any great number of hours.
The remarkable evenness of the runs
per day are also worthy of note. Greater
distances per day have boon made by
several of the ocean greyhounds , includ
ing the Ininan liners Citu of Now York
and City of Paris , but tlioy have seldom
been able , conorallyon account of heavy
weather , to maintain them for two days
in succession.
It seems odd that though the crack
In man liners have the boat record of
speed for a single , mile by nearly a knot
over the Whlto Star ships , yet the latter
.should bo able to completely outrun
them on the long passage ,
It may also occur as strange to sotno
that the ocean passage lias been reduced
to such perfection that it can bo made
now witli greater speed and much more
comfort than the trip across the contin
ent of America.

WHAT THE SUPREME COURT SAYS.
Dfolxlon from the Illglient United
Stntos 1 rlliitnnl on tlio Mootvil
Point Contfiu'tn Settle
thu Dny'H Diirntloti ,
Apropos of the eight-hour law , which Is
now nultatlng this community , the supreme
court of the United States , In the nlmUy-
fourth United States supreme court roporn ,
In the case of the United States vs Martin ,
passed upon the not of congress of l.liM itn-
clarlng that eight hourt should constitute a
day's labor for nil laborers , workmen and
mechanics employe,1 by or on buhnlf of the
government of the Unltoii States.
ThU was nn action brought by Martin to
recover the sum of $1,01'.UU ' for
extra tlmo. At the tlmo the Inw
wont into effect Martin was working
nt the naval academy at Annapolis , nnd had
boon In the habit of worKlng twelve hours a
day for which ho ivrulvoii $ i."iO. When the
elcht-hour law wont Into effect Admiral Porter
ter , who wnt then superintendent of the
acauomy , Informed the men that he would
still regard twelve hour * as a day's work ,
and if they did not wish to work that leiiL-th
of time for the usual price they could quit.
Murtin continued to work ( orsomo years ,
receiving his pnv every month or so.
The following Is the division rendered bv
Mr. Hunt , associated justice of the aupromo
court.
"On Juno 'JS , IStW , congress passed an act
declaring that 'eight hours shall constitute u
day's work for nil laborers , workmen nnd
mechanics now employed or who mnv hnre-
nftor bo employed by or on behalf of the
government of the United Slates , ' Revised
statutes , section H,7vS. !
"This was n direction by congress to the
officers and agents of the United Stntos , es
tablishing the principle to bo ob
served In the labor of those engaged
in Us service. It prescribed the
length of tlmo which should amount
to a day's work , when no special agreement
xvns mndo upon the subject , There nro sev
eral things which the act does not regulate ,
which It may be worth while to notice.
" 1. It does not establish the price to bo
paid for n day's work. Skilled labor neces
sarily commands a higher price than moro
manual labor , and whether wages are higher
or low depends chiclly upon the enquiry
whether those having Inbor to bestow nro
moro numerous than those who desire the
service of the laborer. The Ungllsh statute
books are full of iusl/.cs of bread and ale ,
commencing as early as the reign of Henry
II. , nnd regulations of labor nnd many Hiich
nro to bo found In the statutes of the several
states. It Is stated by Adam Smith , as the
law in his day , that in Sheffield : io master
cutter or weaver or hatter could have moro
than two apprentices at n tlmo , nnd so lately
as the eighth George HI. , nn act , which
remained unropealed until 1&K > , was
passed , prohibiting under severe
penalties nil master tailors in
London , or within five miles of it , from giv
ing , or their workmen from accepting moro
than two shillings seven pouco half penny a
day , except in the case of general , mournlne.
Smith's -Wealth of Nation ? , ' lUfi ( sixth
Oxford edition ISM ) . A different theory is
now almost universally adopted. Principals ,
so far as the law can give thu power , are entitled -
titled to employ ns many workmen nnd
of whatever degrco of skill , nud at
whntovor price they think fit
nnd , except in sotno special eases , as of tlio
children or orphans , tha liour.s of labor anil
the prlco to bo paid are to bo loft to the de
termination of the parties Interested. 'I ho
statute of the United Stntos does not inter
fere with this principle. It does not specify
any sum which shall bo paid for tlio labor ot
eight hours , nor that the price
shall bo moro when the hours are
greater , or loss when the hours are fewer. It
is silent to everything except thu direction to
its otlleers that eight hours shall constitute a
day's work for a laborer.
" 2. The statute does not provide that
the employer and the laborer may not ngreo
with each other As to what time shall
constitute a day's work. Theio nro
some branches of labor connected
with furnaces , fouudrlo-f , steam or gas
works , whore the labor and exposure of olght
hours n day would soon exhaust the strength
of n laborer , unit render him permanently an
Invalid. Tlio government officer is not pro
hibited from knowing thuso facts , nor from
agreeing , when it is proper , that a
less number of hours than ci ht
.shall bo accepted as a day'swork. Nor does
the statute intend that , \vuuro out-of-itoor
labor In the long days of summer may bo
offered for twelve hours nt n uniform price ,
the olllcer may not so contract with a con
senting laborer.
"Wo repurd the statute chlolly as In
the nature of n direction from a princip 1
to hU agent , that eight lion a
Is deemed to bo a proper length of tlmo for u
day's labor , nnd that his contracts shall I'o
based upon that theory. It is a matter I o-
twcen the principal and tils agent , In which n
