ELABORATE SUMMER FETE FOR THE WEEK
llytncncnt nnil Other Tlmotr
KCIIUC , Together rrllli a HlHNpr
ilou cm ( he Kvlln of -lornt
nt C
Wfriding * and arrivals and departures , con
tinue to moke up the bulk of the society
nenn , with a little falling off In the number
of marriages , which does not , however , by
any menus Indicate that nil are wedded , or
oven engaged who Intend to become st ? .
The departures still malntnln tlielr numerical
supremacy over the arrivals , and are be
ginning to Increase at such n rate that a
considerable shrinkage In population Is up-
parent , which leads the patriotic mind to
hope that a census will not be tnkcn during
the summer months. After the Impending
commcncttr.ent seasun , the human tide will
flow cut with still Bicatet rapidity and the
column of foreign iddicrsco In the society
Journals will bo of greater extent and gcncial
Interest than the entire remainder of the
weekly budget.
The peislstcnt cool weather , grateful ns It
undoubtedly Is to human beings who suffer
t high temperature , hna been a notable
retardur of vegetation , Inasmuch that
beneficent organizations like the Flower Mis
sion , nro still obliged to acquire the where
withal for their charitable gifts by purchase ,
atul committees having In charge the decora
tion ot the soldiers' graves on Memorial day
are hard put to It to secuie flowers enough
to make n proper showing.
If this shortage , however , will result In a
general curtailment of the pernicious cus
tom of handing up floral offerings to Indi
vidual young people upon the commencement -
mont stage , a great many who love to see
the posies blooming In their proper environ
ment will be glad that this most potent
cause of Jeslausle * and heart-turnliiRR In to
be In ix nitht'ire ' rdii-oved. In the unseemly
contests which lee often occur botwecn the
trlcnds of rival graduates to see which can
eaiiBB the greatest number of bouquets to
be sent to u given candidate , who Is usually
left out in the cold ? The child , of course ,
whoso frlondu , be they many or few , can
not afford to enter such a competition. The
consequence Inevitably Is that the neglec
ted child , surrounded by flower-ladon as
sociates , Is unable to recognize the Justice
ot the distribution , and li-arns then and
there a bitter lesson of disappointment.
With young children , whose Impulses are
lens perfectly controlled , the Incidents grow
ing out of this bouquet habit are both amus
ing and pathetic pathetic- both In the
eager , almost greedy scramble which some
times occurs for the flowers tossed over
the footlights , and pathetic , too. In the
sight of the sad little faces which go time
after time to the front and come back with
out the coveted prize. Ami the case of
clilldren of a larger growth Is no less sad ,
who have won through school , perhaps ,
against adverse circumstances of poverty
nnd a lack of sympathy at home , and who
have none to send them flowers when they
stand , It mny be with honor , at the end
of their course. It Is pitiful , when one
thinks of it , and the thought should cause
parents and friends to make their individual
floral gifts In private , where they will not
lay the giver open to the charge of osten
tation ; nor help to break some childish
heait , which Is better and more useful
whole. Flowers for all or flowers for none ,
should be the rule , and flowers for all can
with far more propriety bo used before
hand to make the stage a bower of beauty
than to bo handed up during the exercises
with the donor's , card conspicuously dls-
, played.

and with her old-time carpet bag , and each
and every ono so good that It Is difficult to
particularize. It would bo Impossible to de
scribe the gowns or the bonnets worn by the
women , but all were perfect. The "exer
cises" which were given to amuse- the
minister 'were extremely good throughout.

appreciated by the audience , as were also
the recitations by the little Misses Mayall

singing of n bright little ballad. The
Quaker duet by Mrs. Fisher and Mr. Sheldon
wag enjoyed as much as anything on the
program. "The Three Young Maids of Lee , "

storm of applause. The singing by Misses

The Thuivton Hides are n'ow drilling dally
preparatory for the Interstate drill at San
Antonio , Tex , , nhcre they will make n de
termined effort to retain the Gnlvestou cup ,
which the accompanying cut Illustrates. The
cup represents the championship of tbo
United States ntid It was won by the Rifles
at Memphis two years ago. Under the rules
fcoverulng the possession of the trophy the
Rifles are now compelled to cither relinquish
the honor or again enter Into competition for
the cup. They have decided to enter the
contest nnd they nro confident that they will
a pa In win the championship and tiophy ,
The Rifles arc animated with the confidence
that follows n long string of victories. They
organized September 13 , 1893 , or less than
four years ago , but In that period they have
won first place itnong the crack military
organizations of the United States. They
began drilling under the comnund of Captain
Scharff nnd about the middle of December
they became a part of the Nebraska National
Guard , with about elxty members.
Their llrst public appearance was on Wash
ington's birthday In 1S91 ; when they at
tended a celebration at the First Baptist
church. Their appearance on that occasion
was the subject of much favorable comment
nnd at the tournament the following May
thrlr feminine admlrcns presented them with
a magnificent silk flag. The flag seemed to
bring them good fortune for from that time
to this they have won nearly every contest
In which they entered.
COMPANY'S FIRST VICTORY.
They participated In a competitive drill at
South Omaha , July 4 , 1S94 , and did them
selves honor by defeating the Omaha Guards ,
which had long before beaten ( some of the
best companies In the country. Later on
they' won the- Governor Daweu cup at the
atato encampment at Lincoln , but the Judges
afterwards reversed themselves and gave the
cup to the Omaha Guards. This was u dis
appointment to the Rifles , but It had a
salutary effect In Inspiring them with the
determination to ontcr the big drill nt Mem-
THE GALVESTON CUP.
phis , where they literally swept their com
petitors off the field , winning Jive prizes
aggregating $4,875 , and the Galveston cup ,
representing the championship ot the United
States. Besides the championship , they won
the first prize In the maiden class , second
prize in the nonwlnnlng class , and the $300
prize for the best disciplined company. The
competitive drill was won by Hcrold L. .
Williams of the Rifles , -with Sergeant Fred
FLaher second. Of the last seven men In
line in this contest flva belonged to the
Omaha company.
Every one remembers the homecoming of
the Rifles , when they were tendered a public
reception' ' nt the city hall and Senator Thure-
ton and other distinguished speakers ex
pressed the felicities of the occasion.
In view of the exposition and the plan of
mobilizing the National Guard at Omaha in
1898 , the participation of the Rifles In the
San Antonio drill becomes of exceptional In
terest. The drill begins July 17 , and It will
require nearly three weeks to make the trip.
The company will drill with about forty men ,
twenty-nine of whom were In the prlzo team
at Memphis. The remaining men will be
picked from the recruits and Captain Foyc ,
who succeeded Captain Scharff , expects to
go to Texas with the best drilled team that
has ever attended an encampment In the
United States. The company hart now been
drilling for two or three weeks and Is al
ready In Its old time form. With the ex
perience that the men have gained the
prospects for success arc much more en
couraging than they 'Were before the big
drill two years ago.
TRIP WILL REQUIRE MONEY.
But the long trip means a tremendous ex
pense for the Rifles and they will require
eomo assistance from the public eplrlted
people of the city In order to carry out -their
plans. These Include some very handsome
now uniforms , which have already been or
dered , and a subscription list is now being
A
circulated to raisea part of the funds ro
quired. Knch list Is ornamented by group
photograph of the prlzo team , and also gives
A brief statement of tlio record and objects
ot the organisation ,
The Rifles have the Rtipport of the cxpoil-
tlon directory and it Is a part of the under
standing tint they will atop off at the prin
cipal cltlco along the route , glvo exhibition
drills and advertise the exposition. They
will also Improve the occasion to push the
Idea of thp mobilization of the mllttla among
the- other teams and will bo nhlo to do some
very effective missionary work In support
of both objects.

Manager Babcock nt his homo mi West
Farnam street , last night. Two of Iho
large , handsomely decorated trolley party
cars conveyed the party from South Omaha
to Mr. Uubcock's
residence. Standing loom
was at a premium on the cars , but the boys
did not appear to mind that much , as every
ono Bocmed to bo enjoying the rldu Im
mensely.
The visitors were met nt the door by Mr.
Babcock , and ns they passed through the
parlors , each ono \\us introduced to Mrs.
Babcock , who assisted
her husband In re
ceiving. Mr. Babcock addressed these
present , and said it was .1 pleasure to him
to see almost the entire force there to meet
his family and enjoy his hospitality for a
time.
At the conclusion of Mr. Babcock's re
marks , Hon. J. H. Van Dusen , claiming at
tention for a moment , made a few rumaiks
referring , to Mr. Babcock's connection with
the South Omaha Industry , and as a token
of the good will of the general manager s
associates , presented Mr. Babcock a velvet
box containing a magnificent diamond ring ,
This expression of good feeling was wholly
unexpected by the recipient , nnd It was
some moments before he found his voice , and
was able to respond. Ho thanked the men
kindly for the gift , and said that he would
always treasure It as a token of their re
spect and esteem.
The guests were then Invited to the dlnlni ;
room , where refreshments were served. Be
fore leaving , the men gathered on the lawn
and gave three hearty cheers and a tiger for
the general manager.
