Governor Pixgo of Vermont , who nccom *
JianlccI Socrotnry of War 1'roclor's party on
> tour of tlio military posts In the depart
ment of tbo Platte , was the victim of a prac
tical Joke when a guest at Happy Hollow ,
Which Is helngtold In club circles with great
injoymcnt.
General ilrooko was selected to mateo It
pleasant for Governor I'ngo during the lat-
tor's visit to the beautiful suburban homo of
Mr. J. N. II. Patrick , and during the stay of
the war party In Omahii the sou of Mars was
the governor's FIdus Achates.
It was Governor Pago's ' first visit to the
west , and although a student of blstor ; hu
could not realize that there wcro no Indians
on the streets of the Onto City , nor
buffaloes on the high plateaus
to the woitward of the metropolis.
Jn fact , everything was so now and strange
to the representative of the Green Mountain
Btuto , that ho questioned whether thcro wai
Buch n thing as culture In the "wild and
\vooly" section of the country which li de
nominated on the maps as west.
General Ilrooko , knowing Governor Pace's
Ooubis upon matters affecting the west's
claims o ( refinement , determined to glvo the
executive of a down ons > t commonwealth
cotnothing to think about during the rest of
bis peregrinations throughout the country.
When Secretary Proctor's party was near-
IngOmaba from" the north. General Broolto
Informed Governor Page that ho was to bo
the guest of n good nnturod , old fashioned
farmer ( . ) . N. II. Patrick ) , who had made
enough money to retire on.Vo will no
doubt bo met at the station by Mr. Patrick , "
cald General lirooko. "who will take us out
to his homo , called Happy Hollow , in a com
fortable farm wagon. Not a particularly
ewoll wngou , but still good enough for us.
"Now that I nm on the subject of Mr. Pat-
tick , I might say , " continued thu general , In
his mild mannered , thoughtful way , "that
our host-to-bo is fond of art , ana his farm
house Is stocked with pictures which ho bo-
Moves uro real works of famous painters , but
truly they are nothing but chrnmos , cheap
engravings and several moss process pictures ,
llo has several pieces of statuary ,
loo. which ho believes arc marble , but
l-oally they are nothing but plaster
nf paris , done by some rank amateur
Who has palmed off his efforts as the work of
tome noted sculptor.
"Of course Mr. Patrick's bent Is to bo
praised , for ho loves to have his pictures ad
mired. "
Governor Page qulto understood and then
Omaha was announced.
Tlio turnout which met the party could
hardly bo called a comfortable farm wagon ,
for it was Colonel Patrick's ' crack coach-and-
four , which astonished oven the rusidonts of
the Green mountain state during tbo coachIng -
Ing tour a year or moro ago , being ono of the
handsomest vehicles over sucn in that sec
tion of the country.
Governor Page was surprised , of courso.
Who wouldn't havja been with General
Brooke to prompt !
The drlvo to Happy Hollow through tno
crisp September air was an additional eye-
Opener to the man from Vermont. But when
the quaint homo of Colonel Patrick was
reached , * nestling amid the trees , the gov
ernor's surprise was well nigh complete.
General Broolto , In tno meantime , hud
kuccaodod In tolling Mr. Patrick tlio
practical Joke ho was playing on Page , and
. asking his co-operation , which was Instantly
' Decoded to by the latter , and until the ( to-
Iiouoment Colonel Patrick was a tiller of the
soil , with a penchant for art uuu flno horios ,
but unable to disguise tno hay seed which
flecked his hair.
"Kluhtsmnrt place you have hero , Mr.
"Patrick , " snld Governor Pago.
"Waal , I reckon It no n fairish place for a
westerner , " said the host , picking his tooth
with a straw .
"You are some what of n connoisseur In art ,
I understand , " Governor Page patronizingly
said."I .
"I bo somewhat interested In thorn things , "
answered Colonel Patrick , ana no loft his
guest to look after "tho victuals. "
Taking Governor Pngo ny the armGeneral
Brooke escorted the clvlo dignitary tnrough
the rooms , which are beautiful In tholr quipl
nrrangomciit.tho wealth of canvasses by celebrated -
bratod artists , and their rich Inpustnoi.
Governor Pngo looked with cold , disdain
ful oyouoon what critics consider Blor-
stndt's boit effort , and remarked to the mili
tary man , "does have a cliromo-liko look ,
doesL't It ! "
An oxqulslto oil by Pnllouso was handled
without gloves , llgu'ratwoly spoaklngnndtho
tapestries wore criticised as being too much
like cretonne , showing little art and less
workmanship.
But the greatest fun was had over a gem
by George Innes , "A Storm in thoCatskllls , "
A" group of cows occupies the loft of the fore
ground , the farm house to the right. In the
middle distance Is a valley while
on the horizon line the Catskllls are
teen , with n storm passing over
the top of tlio mountains , the scene of Kip
Van Winkle's troubles. In light and shade ,
Unit delicate treatment , the picture is npoom.
"Tho drawing of those cows Is something
frightful , " said Govsrnor Pago.
"Vory bad indeed , " suggested Brooko.
"But look nt the perspective , " said the
gentleman from the Green .Mountains ,
"There was never such a scene hi the Cats-
Jtllls , " continued Pngo , "and n man who pur
chases those daubs for pictures deserves In
carceration in tin asylum. "
"Von are perfectly right , " responded the
Bonernl , "ho Is truly a lit subject for the
state's caro. "
Then they came ti the stnliio of Gael by
Baldl , a famous Italian sculptor. Governor
I'ngo , romomborlng what Brooke bad told
him early In the day about the statuary ,
tapped the fonmlo llgure , but no hollow
Bound ciuno forth. Instantly ho saw that the
tnarblo was a beautiful Carara , nud knowing
much of the marbles of his state , saw that
the departmental commander had been "Jol
ly in u" him.
"General , " said Governor Page , " If this
tnnn Patrick Is a farmer , 1 am a son of n
Bun. "
Tlio distinctive society event of the week
Was tlio marriage of MUs Nellie MclColl
Hums to Mr. OsgoodT. Eastman Wednesday
evening nt the residence of the urldo oil
Dodge street. It was ono of the prettiest
homo weddings ever solemnized In the met
ropolis , n unique feature of the nuptial core-
inony being ttioslnglngof the wedding ninrch
from "Lohengrin" by the bridesmaids mid
the ushers. Mr. Copeland , bantouo of the

Bho never looked prettier than on her wed

her face to relieve tlio monotony of white ,
nnd this , coupled with the warmth of the

the joy of the occasion.

those conditions.

Now that the grill room has boon opened

the French pool games nt 0 o'clock are at

Club life In this city has ngaln awakened
from Its usual summer lethargy and thocluu

standing the fact that "Mr. Brown , " In his
letters to "A Young Man About Town , "

A Noteworthy Musical Service.
It Is not unusual to sea largo audiences
gather In Trinity cathedral. Neither is It
unusual to hear Inspiring musio from Its
well trained choir whoso reputation for good
work is moro than local , but It is bo ques
tioned if the cathedral over held a larger
audience , or Its choir ever sang moro Insplr-
Ingly thnn on last Sunday evening on the
occasion of the Harvest Homo festival.
It was a magnificent nudlcnco and a mag-
nilicont service , nnd ono that has occasioned
raoro favorable comment than any ever before
given thoro.
The people gathered early and nt 7:30 :
o'clock standing room was at a premium , if
ono may bo pardoned using n tboatriccl term
in this connection. ' Hundreds were turned
away , unable to got farther than the outer
door , so great was the crush that the choir
had much difficulty in marching in the pro
cession.
The programms was nrtistlo in its arrange
ment , showing the master hand of Mrs. Cot
ton , whoso genius In this respect is well
known. Of the concerted numbers , what
greater variety could bo had than In that
wonderful creation ot Rossini's "The Inllam-
innlus , " followed by the lighter chorus ,
"Praise Ye the Father" ( Gounod ) , and clos
ing with "Tho Heavens are Telling , ' than
which a moro inspiring chorus has never
boon written.
The "Inllnnimntus" was notable for the
nrtlstlc rendition of the extremely high and
difficult solo by Mrs. Cotton nnd the splendid
attacks nud perfect phrasing of the chorus.
The opening lines ot the .chorus , "Nono else
can deliver us , " three times repeated , were
sung with wonderful precision and force ,
fairly electrifying the nudlcnco , and In the
part where the soloist takes the obligate
ugalnst the chorus , the perfect training of
the choir was well exemplified , for they were
ns steady as n rock , n requisite that is abso
lutely necessary , otherwise the work of the
Boloist is ruined.
Of the soloists , MM. Cotton carried off tbo
honors , as was fitting she should. Her solo ,
Fnuro's "Sanclta Marie "
, was admirably
suited to bar volco and she sang It divinely.
The violin obligate played by Hans Albert
added much to Its effectiveness. Mrs. Cot
ton's long vacation has benefited her greatly.
Hur volco has acuulrod volume , and she sings
with more Intensity of feeling ,
Mrs. Mocller sang "But the Lord is mind
ful. " from St. Paul , and did It exceedingly
well. She has made noticeable improvement
in sustained effects ot lato.
Mr. Wilklns' | solo , "Jerusalem. "
by Parker , brought out qualities in hU volco
that ho hus not exhibited heretofore , notably
In the volume nnd strength of tone. Espe
cially wus this noticeable in the recitative ,
"Behold Thy King , " which was given with
excellent dramatic effect.
Mr. Lumburd's solo , "Now heaven In full-
oil glory , ' * from the "Creation , " was a dis
tinct feature of the service.
Mr. llutlor's work on the organ was excel
lent. His solo , Battistc's "Offertory in D
Minor , " being particularly noteworthy.
The servlco was brought to a conclusion by
that grand chorus , "The Heavens are Toll
ing , " and a most effective tlnalo It was.
Right hero wo would auggost to Mrs. Cotton
and Dean Gardner that a musical service llko
the above given once a mouth would add a
very nltraciivo feature to the work of the
church and Would ba much appreciated by
the public generally. ' U Is done a great den
In the cast , and there Is no reason why It can
not bo done hero , especially when wo have n
choir so well equipped for It ns Trinity ,
