of the last Assembly of the season Tuesday

cellent , the men and women present wcro
there for the last dance , and the girls looked
their loveliest. With these conditions pres
ent what wonder that the evening was a red
letter occasion In the lives of quite a few
society buds , one of whom said that it was
really the very jolllest party she had over
attended.

Omaha Wheel club entertained n largo num.- '
her of their numerous friends by a muslcalo
and dance in their club house , 1700 Chicago
street. The Jolly wheelmen's homo was n
veritable blaze of light , In which the happy
couples enjoyed themselves as only young
people always do. No such charming crowd
of ladies and gentlemen wcro over gathered
Inside the club's doors before , nnd the
Omaha Wheel club comes to the front again
with a now record for themselves. This
time In a social sense Instead of a road
triumph. Whllo it is a fact the wheel
club boys are perfectly at homo in
the Raddle of a bicycle onn must not think
that is the only place they shine , for the af
fair of Thursday night proved differently ,
and no ono could have managed anything
hotter than Omaha's cycling leaders did their
entertainment.
The musical program was a decided fea
ture , and consisted of the following : Miss
Ballo\ , opened the concert with a piano solo ,
"Salut-a-Pcsth , " which she executed with
charming grace. She was followed by
the over nnd always popular Su-
torius Mandolin club ( all Omaha Wheel
club members ) with " 11 Trovatoro , "
played ns only tnuy can play It. As usual ,
they bad to respond to an encore , after which
Mr. Harry Burkloy sang one of hla splendid
solos. Ernest Zitzman delighted the audi
ence with a llute solo , which ho played ex
ceedingly well , after which Miss Myrtle
Coon sang "Springtide" with much effect ,
responding to an encore with a charming llt-
tlo German love song , her accompaniments
being played by Prof. Butler. Prof.
Brett , n wheel club favorite , played
Do Bcrlot's "Sccno-de-Ballet , " which
he executed in a manner that left little to bo
desired. Mrs. Brett accompanied her hus
band on the piano. Mr. Weir came next
with a tenor solo entitled "Best of All. " B.
H. dimming. * gave the Washington Post
March on his banjo , and was followed by
Miss Ina Kennedy , another club favorite ,
who sung "Tho Secret , " which was well ren
dered despite n bad cold. The Mandolin
club again came forward , this time with
Guitzo's "O , Happy Day. " For an encore
they gave "Serumta , " and completed the
musical part of the entertainment.
Supper was served at 10tO : ! , after which
the parlors were cleared and dancing was
indulged in by these who cared for it.
Billiards and cards occupied the attention of
the others , and the festivities kept up until
a late hour.

Arcanum at Metropolitan hall Tuesday even
ing. Notwithstanding the extreme cold nnd
the icy sheet that covered the streets , over
lf > 0 pnests wcro present , who were amply re
paid for the discomforts and dancers in ven
turing out. Had the spirit ol the happy
saint the day * commemorates graced the
occasion it could hardly have been moro thor
oughly entertained.
Though the party is the last of these origi
nally planned by the council for the winter ,
the scries has proved so thoroughly enjoy

Under Mr. William S. Curtis , the art sec
tion labors in a manner ut once most pains
taking nnd enthusiastic. By moans of cuts ,
casts , etc. , as well as through carefully prepared -
pared papers , read before the section , they
are working toward a higher appreciation
and comprehension of art.
The history section , under the leadership
of Miss Ilono E. Hamilton , is studying the
Reformation. To cover the period of the
Reformation in eight evenings necessitates
the most careful outlining and concentric
study upon phases of the subject to bo
brought prominently forward. See-

A Washington correspondent says : Two
or thrco weeks ago when Mrs. Russell Harrison
risen and her Httlo daughter Marthena , who
had boon 111 with scarlet fever , loft the
white house and went to a hotel to give the
health ofllcera a chance to fumigate the
quarters they had been occupying , they loft
n lot of personal effects In their rooms.
There were a number of pieces of valuable
bric-a-brac clock which had not
- - , a now gilt ,
been taken from the original case in which
it was shipped to them , some beautiful
pieces of cut glassware , a chest full of wear
ing apparel , n brand new leather hat box , In
which was a now hat , some Jewelry and all
these Httlo things of beauty which a woman
will collect in her private apartments. Mrs.
Harrison also loft In the wardrobes a num
ber of goods which she wanted fumigated.
It seems that the health oftlcer sent to the
apartments vacated by Mrs. Harrison and
her child the dog catching force at the city
building. "They toro out the carpets ,
draperies , etc. , and piling them in a heap'
applied the torch. They even went so far
in their destruction as to pry up a part of
the floor in an Adjoining hallway and found
under it a small iron safe or chest fastened
with a Ynlo lock , containing no one knew
what. This was loft in the custody of
Mnlor Prudcn , the executive clerk.
Mr. Russell Harrison called at the health
ofllco to ascertain what had been done with
the personal effects of Mrs. Harrison and his
daughter , nnd was told they had all been
destroyed. Ho asked to see a list of the
articles destroyed and found that it con
tained only the sheets , blankets , pillows , and
a few other articles of bedclothing belonging
to the government. What had become of
Mrs. Harrison's effects could not bo learned.
Why the clock , jewelry and clothing wore
taken was n mystery. There wcro also
books taken and a lot of memoranda kept by
the president's late wife. Mr. Harrison has
inado a ucmand for the missing goods , and
the health ofllccr has Instituted u search.
