SOCIETY HAS ANOTHER FAD
ftepa Taken Looking to the Formation f *
Oeantry Oluk.
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT IS ANNOUNCED
Colt Taken Jlolrt with A Stron * Grip
AllrticU the .Attention of
Vunnir Men
Women.
The flrvt week of the poit-Lenten teason
AM brought with It warmer woitber , a re-
Tlval ot golf , the Initial step * toward the
formation of a country club , aome marriages
ad the announcement * of several more that
re well calculated to itlr the social realm.
.White there have been no wondei.ully clrb-
orate functions In Omaha society during the
laflt week , the happenings heretofore Indi
cated sufficed to completely drive out the
ennui of the Lenten season.
The announcement of the engagement of
Mlrs Florence Morse , daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William V. Morse , to Mr. George H.
Calmer \ \ < m rnado at a dinner party given at
the Morao residence ca Friday evening , and
Ince then haa created quite a flutter In the
tipper circles of local society. So far as hear !
from , society has fixed ( ts stamp of approval
on ( bo match. The prospective groom baa
teen numerously congratulated , and the brldo
that ia to be has been wished much joy by
multitude of friends. The one la the only
on of an old Omaha family , la an alumnus
ef the University of Nebraska , a leader ; In
the looil social whirl and prominent aa an
enterprising young business man The older
la a charming young woman who' made her
debut In society In the fall of 1897 , after
graduation from a fashionable eastern school ,
and Is held In great esteem by tlicve v.do
know her. The wedding , which will not
occur just yet awhile , will undoubtedly bo
one of the big weddings of Omaha.
The movement toward the formation of an
Omaha Country club li getting along
famously well , and the projectors have
every reason to believe that their efforts
will result In a swell acquisition cbnsldered
decidedly proper by all cities of over 100,000
inhabitants. A meeting was held on Mon
day evening to discuss ways and means for
the establishment of such an Institution ,
and It was attended by the sclcns of nearly
all the families that figure most extensively
in extracting blocks ot congealed water from
the society pool. It will at once be seen
that the possession of a country club iy the
Gate City of the west during the exposition
Is a great desideratum. All cur eastern
cousins can then bo entertained with all thp
pleasures of home. Gold , tennis , cricket
and possibly bace ball for the devotees ot
eaclcty , whose worldly edges have not all
been rubbed off Will be provided , with ade
quate and agrceablo appointments In a club
house nearby. The scheme Is really a good
thing , add It should be urged along. The
projectors are now 'presenting ' the financial
prospectus to thoio young men who stand
cumclently well lit regard to the bluenesn
of their blood and the-richness of their
purse , and If It meets with the approval ot
a sufficient number the Country club is go-
lag to bo a go.
While waiting for the formation of the
Country club , the practice of the young
men and women at noclcty'a most dearly
cherished game goes on apace. The links
at Happy Hollow have ibeen frequently
visited during the last fortnight by young
folk of both persuasions , and their practice
Is said to have been good. The first game
of the season Is announced for Happy Hollow
links on Saturday afternoon , April 30 , so
that there Is yet some time for the players
to get In good trim before the Initial game.
.Tho exit of the army from Fort Crook and
the headquarters at Omaha , with all its cll-
Blble oRlccie , moans A noticeable Inroad on
1ho ranks of local society. While certain
favored once rr.ny be left at borne to do rear
guard duty , tha certainty of 'the ' tempirary
low of the two ifolnlng- social lights at
tached to the commanding general's personal
staff has already thrown the ben ton Into
bait mourn bg.

AB VXDOX HOPES OF MEDIATION.
Vet Inclined to Take Any
Farther Step * .
LONDON , April 16. The diplomatic
lores has abandoned hope cf effectual medi
ation.
The Spanish and Austrian ambusadora
llng tenaciously to the delueloa that they
will bo able to arrange at the lost moment a
: omprom&e ! which will avert war Tney
.iave haunted the British foreign office for a
week past , calling dtilly , and occasionally
more often. They arrived there early this
morning and for a long time conferred with
Sir Thomas Anderson , the permanent eecre-
tary for the foreign office , who appears to
be wearied of their Importunities. Their
efforts were seemingly awarded but llt-
le encouragement.
The Spanish and Austrian ambuuad rs
again attempted today to persuade Great
Brit a ID to Jora the powers in further repre-
entatlons , receiving little encouragement.
So far as can be learned , the ambassadors
f Spain and Austria made no definite propo
rtion , although they believe a scheme Is
till possible by which Spain can be In-
iuccd to offer real concessions , which they
hlnk the United States would accept , pro
ving Great Britain can bo persuaded to
inlte with the continental powers In mak
ing further representations to the United
States and endeavoring to bring pressure to
> ear upon Spain. They realize that wlth-
> ut Great Britain's co-operation nothing can
) e accomplished , and It appears to be most
loubtful that Great Britain will participate In
uch a concert. On the other hand. It is
ertaln that Great Britain will maintain the
iollcy which It has steadily adhered to , that
_ t refusing to take any step whloh may be
distasteful to the United States.
Mr. Balfour , the acting secretary of state
'or ' foreign affairs , remained In the country
hroughout the week , thus escaping the for-
Ign office Interviews , I31r Thomas Anderson
earlng the brunt of the pleadings. It If
understood he Informs the ambassadors that
he is not authorized to pledge Great Britain
o anyt course , end that he can merely trans
'er ' their requests to Mr. Balfour.
