Their scs- elons are held at night , and do not debar men , The presence of husbands , nay , even the unattached of the sterner sex , assures their popularity. These men , It Is said , play an entirely unsentimental game that jars ngnlnst the finer sensibilities of their sweet hearts nnd vlvcs , who are governed solely by etlquct and consideration for ono an other's feelings. The game Is played with a full pn k of cards and the joker , Is dealt seven to- each pcrnoli , ( jiving first three nnd then four , nnd leaving four on the table. This quartet Is dubbed "Tho Widow. " The player on the left of the dealer makes the llrst bid of 2 , 3 , I , 5 , G or 7 tricks , nam ing the suit , the highest bid getting It. The bidding In done In turn. The person who secures the bid then selects three other players , partners , thus pitting four against three. If the bidder wins ho and his part ners each count the amount bid. If ho falls lie Is ouchrcd , and the three oppo nents count , each , the amount bid. While one can play a quiet , steady game , taking no risks , and , holding high cards or the Joker , pljy for a euchre , the spirit of extreme femi nine politeness engendered by this fad of the hour requires that a person holding the joker should bid the limit , seven , thereby always Introducing an clement of chance In the con test and giving each ono more show. Prl7cs nre played for. A certain number of points gained can bo the limit or a given period of time , as agreed upon. Tiic ono holding the highest number of points at the decisive mo ment wins. The post Lenten week has had little to offer In the wiiy of entertainment beyond the round cf small affairs , and so far as can be learned there U little to look forward to In the near future. Society Is quiet. There are many of tlie swells out of town. The event of the week , however , will be the marriage of Dr. J. } j. Summers , Jr. , nnd Miss Laura Hoagland. which Is to be celebrated at tlie family residence at 0:30 : p. m. Wednesday In a very quiet manner. Miss Helen Hongland will bo maid of honor. Dean Gardner ofllclat- Unity flnli'H tVurlc tlio I'nnt Your. Unity club | g the oldest and probably the boat known club In tlio city. In October , 1880 , the debating society of Unity church mot and organized Unity club. Mr. Copeland , formerly pastor of ' "Unity church , was elected president , and Miss Grant secretary. Tlie aim of the club Is purely educational. Many of the best known literary nion and women of the city are or have been members. They have accom plished a great amount of hard work , and certainly do the heaviest and most compro- licnstvo work among tlio clubs. It novcr was and perhaps never will bo what Is called n popular club , for there Is too much hard work to suit an Indolent or pleasure loving person. To be a member of the Unity means to bo a hard working student. H Is not a literary society of the Unitarian church , as a great many people sootn to think. The name "Unity" Is given because the leaders want a unity of thought and work. Ono of the old Invitations extended reads as folbai lows : "Any person attending ; the church or acceptable to the executive committee may become a member of the club on the paytics Jiicnt of an annual fee of $1. " Tlio Invitation given last year Is : "Any jiorson Interested In the work of the club may become a member on the payment of nn annual fee of $1 , making the club strictly nnd entirely non-sectarian. " The club has had some very able leaders In Its several department ! ) , particularly Mr. Curtis of the art department. While ho had charge of the department It was Intensely Interesting and highly Instructive. The entire section did most excellent work. One of the alms of tlio club Is to avoid current topics. They want their members to study and to exmr plain tliolr own opinions on given subjects , Last year there wcro four departments In the club Economics , Shakespeare , Drapoi niatlcs. Contemporary Poets and Lectures. The work In economics was particularly fine. The subjects taken up were : "Monowl tary History and Tfccory. " Part 1 was "Primitive ) Money. " Prof. Lewis had this mid gave a good paper on "Nature and Funcpa tlons of Money. " Part 2 "Emergence from the Darter Staso and What It Signifies , " Mra. Porrlno. Part 3 "Early System of Currency , " Mr. Mann. The second subject was "Metallic Money. " "Early Use of Precious Metals as Money nnd Reasons Therefor" was the title of Miss Ida Edsom's paper. Mr. Gould spoke of "Token Money. " Miss Devoll spoke on "Colnago. " Paper money , banking and credit , tlio two standards , International blMi inetalllsm , domestic and free coinage , and monetaiy paper wore In turn taken up. Dr. Ilosowater read n very fine paper on "Ob jections to Illmetalllsm. " Mr. William Wal lace had a very thoughtful and compre hensive paper on "Nature and History of Panics. " Papers for this department were written by Prof. Lowls , Mr. Kllpatrlck , Mr. Maguey and Mr. Plzey. Miss Koto McHugh and Miss Jennie Wal lace had charge of the Shakespeare nnd dramatic department. The plays taken up wcro : "Julius Caesar. " "Macbeth , " "Ham let. " "Merchant of Venice" nnd "King Lear. " The entire play of "Hamlet" was read. In "Tho Merchant of Venice" the points dis cussed were : Is Shylock a typical Jew ? Has Shakcspcaro dealt fairly with him ? Is the conflict of the play a property conflict era a conflict between Christianity and Juda ism ? A dramatic entertainment was given 'from each play. The poetical section was under the per sonal supervision of Hov. Mann. It was for learning something- poetic form and for a bettor acquaintance with a few poets of our day whoso names are not household words. The lectures wore given principally by members of tbo club , nnd wore pretty evenly divided between the men and women. Hev. Newton Mann , Rev. Mary A. Safford , Mrs. H , P. Lowls. Dr. Victor Resonator. Rov. L. A. Harvey , Key. Augusta Chapin , Rabbi Leo Franklin , und Rev. Elinor Gordon being among the number. Many of the papers read before this society showed a fine sense of discrimination and rare literary talont. The discussion of Drowning Is remem bered with pleasure by nianv readers of The Dee. Several of tlio papers on this subject wore published , the ono by Clare Rustln being excellent. Some of Mr. Curtis' lec tures on art were worthy of a largo au dience. The last meeting of the club was held on Friday evening. The officers elected for next year nro : H. P. Lowls. president : Mrs. Ella Perrlno. secretary ; Miss Margaret Reed , treasurer. The leaders for the different de partments have not been elected. A vote of thanks was tendered Miss Kato McIIugh. Dr. Mann and Mrs. C. S. Lohlnglorlo had so elilclcatly planned and directed the year's work. Until 1893 the annual dues of this club were but 25 cents. It has since been raised to $1. The club Is In a flourishing condition , tlio present membership IB forty-six. Most of them are active , IS members. ClinrmliiK Ulillilrou'H Party.

' | CLOSE OF THE FESTIVAL Thomas otul Hh Chicago Orchestra a Con stantly Delighting Memory , MUSIC'S ' FUTURE BRIGHT ERFORIIIS COMING ICvrntft Mnppeil Out for tlio Next Vevr Day * la the World ot Tonn Clmt of the Men nuil Women Knoiin In Munlral Circles. Tlio concerts given by the Chicago orches tra , under Theodore Thomas , have been essentially educational In every respect , and It Is n profound pity that larger audiences did not take an Interest In the festival spirit of these performances and by their attend ance encourage the higher forms of art In Omaha. The festival chorus was a surprise , the work given being upon n high plane commensurate with the dignity and standing of the orchestra , which was essentially the magnet that attracted almost as many people from the stnto as from the metropolis. From whatever point the performances of Friday and Saturday are viewed one con clusion Is absolute , they prove that a musical festival on still broader lines can bo made a success If wisely handled from the begin ning , and with such u director us Theodore Thomas there can bo but ono result , hlgnal success , and therefore a broadening of the field of music In these parts. Yesterday afternoon's concert was almost entirely orchestral , Mr. Moore , however , singing two numbers In almost faultless style , his rendition of "Marie" by Johns being particularly artistic and merited the applause which followed Its conclusion , and the fact that ho had to sing a second verse of the composition showed more than any thing else the hold he had upon his audi ence. The program at the matinee opened with the Vorsplel. from Wagner's "Die Melster- singer ' , " and In all the range ot the great poet's masterful compositions It would be hard to point out a more striking specimen of Wagner's Inexhaustible fertility. Herein Is found mediaeval German life realistically painted In striking colors. To one who knows Wagner the Vorsplol gives a vivid series of festive pomp , Impressions of joyous hiimoi , and so It was played yesterday , with the lloridity that Is so Inherently a part of the great prelude to a moving drama of tone. The "Wedding March" by Goldmark Is a clever feat of Instrumentation. It Is full of quaint conceits and It gave unbounded pleas- tire to the audience. But i > o the critic might pwoi on , finding continued beauties In the works as given by this really unrivalled or ganization , works that have been handed down to such as Thomas with the command for Intelligent interpretation. H Is to bo regretted that larger space can not be given n review of Hrahm's "Academic Festival , " for the very sufficient reason that It was a gem In yesterday's musical crown. Itson is bai-ed upon several popular student songs , which were recognized by quite a number of Germans In the audience , "Der Landcsvater" ( The Father of His Country ) being particularly predominant In the workIng - Ing out of the theme. And It was played con amore by the orchestra , many of whom had learned the soncs In student days In the fatherland. : Whllo the work of yesterday was some what popular In so far as Theodore Thomas car bo popular , the program of last night wa : highly classical and was en joyed by a most enthusiastic audi ence , an audience , too. that almost raised the roof when the Wagner numbers were at an end , while yet the air was vi brant with the sounds of horns , 'cellos and lower ] strings , In which the great poet seems to revel. The C minor symphony No. C of Beethoven has been the subject of countless exhaustive essays. It has been analyzed by the mosl distinguished musicians , and yet the history ofarc the symphony Is not complete , if we " arc to believe the authors. Undoubtedly II /Is the great masterpiece of the composer. II 'is full of sublimity , full of the genlui of the writer , and it can be said for Mr. Thomas that It Is very much doubted If another or ganisation in the world can so Interpret this wonderful production as It was Interpreted last night. With the players well In hand , : Mr. Thomas was at his very best. He was the prince of directors , the hope of a still higher Interpretation of the great ones of earth. Mrs. Bishop was also In splendid form , and bho sang the scena and aria from "Der Freyschutz" with flue effect. After the Intermission - . mission came Wagner , a fitting close to a splendid season of music. There was the preluJo from "Parsifal , " gems from "Die Walkure , " the bacchanalo and march from "Tannhauser. " Mr. Moore as Wotan empha sized his success of Friday night and yester day's matinee , singing the score of this great drama with a finish and shading worthy the true artist. The frantic ride of the Val ' kyries was splendidly given , while the glori fication from "Parsifal" was along the lines laid down years ago by Mr. Thomas to do nothing except the very best , and through the best lead the people to higher ideals In mublc The benefit entertainment of St. Agnes " church , South Omaha , will be given Wednes day evening , at Young Men's Institute hall , on Twenty-fourth street. Dinner will be served during the day and cupper In the evening , after which the following program will bo rendered : PART I. Soprano Solo Mrs. T. A.

She Is reported to have said to a St. Louis Interviewer the other day : 'I am really glad to return once moro St. Louis , for I feel that I am among friends. St. Louis , you know , Is my favorite American cities. " Doston , New York and Chicago have already enjoyed that honorable distinction. Mlle , Droff confessed to the i. same interviewer : 'While I llko the eastern cities of the United States , especially Now * York nnd Washington , I think I prefer Chicago cage to them all. It may be because Chicago cage has such a fine theater and hotel.

" Walter Damrosch and hi ? great artists form most agreeable study for those who admire tha personal evolution of genius. The son ol marvelous master of music , and the great all-around conductor who has ever located American shores. Dr. Leopold Damrosch , Walter drank In music from hla earliest years.

This happy faculty , colloquially called "following" the singer , Is an art that ' only nature supplies , and In Mr. Danuoech's case has proven a tower of strength In Ills cperatlo experiences. By the death of his father ho was elevated almost Instantly Into the conductorshlp of the New York Oratorio society , which ho still holds. He also took nnd carried through Dr. Damrosch's con tacts with the Metropolitan opera house In tha German opera regime then prevailing and acquitted himself under trying circum stances with the greatest of credit. Slnca Mr Andrew Carneglo built for Mr. Damrosch , the Orchestra and the Oratorio society , the $750- structure , known as Carnegie Music hall young conductor has hail nothing to desire life except the perpetuation of the schem a German opera company of high class America , of whl.h his father wa-i the vigor pioneer. How well Damrosch the younger carried out his self-imposed ambition ma ) seen from the spl ndld success that has greeted his Initial managerial effort.
