SOCIETY. IN TIME OF WAR Drum Bfikts Interrupt the Plncltl Whirl , but Do Not Stop It. BRILLIANT "WEDDING THE WEEK'S ' CENTER Sc crnl Very I'rHty KiiniMloiiH Cluitter A run ml lh - WHUInn-CoIiicUrr > uillntx | MIIIIII * TliliiKN the Kurly Future llm In .Store. Between the Bounds of drum beats local Roclcty has achieved quite a few successes during the Inst week. The Riding club 1ml n 11 no Illtlc jaunt early In the wick , with a supper at n hospitable home afterwards. There has been a fairly good tutnoul of the devotees of golf for practice dariUK th < j week , but the handicap game thai was to have been played yesterday had to beailed off on account of the unseasonable weather , The Cooking club Is sftld to have accom plished but little practical work during iho winter , but who cares as long an Its dr.nrc on Friday evening was a tremendous suc cess ? The central event of the week , about which arc clustered a number of smaller affairs , was the Wllktns-Colpetzer wedding. The ceremony Itself was a pretty function and the Interest In It attested the popu larity of the brldo and groom In local so ciety circles. The lilac luncheon given In honor of Miss Colpctzcr by Miss Llln Alex ander on Monday noon was a charming affair ; It was as unique as It was delight ful and was enjoyed by the dozen young women who were there. Miss Cady Is to entertain for the same brldo on Wednesday and that will all remind us that cards for the Whcclcr-Cady nuptials may happen along any time now. The weddlngH of these two young women , leaders In local Eoclcty and such close friends , within the. same season , will bo quite a coincidence. The coming week docs not promise any thing Tory brilliant , although a number of functions nro on the schedule. Today n large number of Omalians will undoubtedly go to Lit. ' oln to bid a fond farewell to the boys in blue , who nro to start away to morrow. While many of the girls are bound to r.hc ' a frtw tear ? , tonight when they say good-byo to their own and other girls' brothers they do s.iy that one of the com panies from this city Is In great luck to bo sent to the Philippine Islands. Wo all hope the boys will have nothing more than Kiinid duty to perform , though we know that If they nro called upon to fight they will discharge their obligations with honor ard cvciy girl who weais a soldier button on her coat lapel will thrill with prldo when she hi'nrs of the magnificent conduct of the Omaha company. The departure of the Illflcs and of the Guards will take out a number of prominent young men from the city , tut e/on those who will feel sad as they zc the toldlar trains leave cannot but bs proud of their soldierly appearance and Klad that they have such gallant comman ders as Captains Taylor and Wilson. There Is a tremendous lot of housecleaning ing going on throughout the city and every one Is making ready to entertain the visitor from the cast , west , north and south during the exposition. Preparations nro also going on for the enjoyment of tin stranger within the city's gates , this In addition to the In crease In the number ot theaters of various kinds that arc holding spring openings about town. With the Golf club well organized , the Hiding qlub again In . .jo fMddlo aii.l the Country club getting along vei'jr well for a baby organization , the outlook for situl- clent out-door sport to Interest the mo.it fastidious is not entirely barren. There is also a movement on foot to secure a large number of collegiate reunions on the expo sition grounds at night' and If finally ar ranged these should prove most attractive. It Is now planned by those having the mat ter in hand to have the local alumni of each of the leading colleges of the cast and of the west take the Initiative in making visiting collegians feel nt home. It Is really a good thing and It will doubtless bo aided a. along. The custom of sending flowers used at A evening affairs to the chambers of these who arc 111 Is growing exceedingly popular In Omaha. This practice Is most gratifying ' to these who have worked hard for several years to bring about such a desideratum. It Is no great task to send flowers used In decoration at an evening function to the alck on the following morning and It gives pleas ure to some unfortunates as nothing else could. In this work the Emma Flower mis sion has been foremost. Mesdames Hoag- land and Clarke announce that garden flowers as well as hot house flowers will bo very acceptable. They should be sent to the a residence of Mrs. Hoagland , Sixteenth and 'Howard streets , on Thursday mornings. I'nnt mill Future. A very pretty and quiet homo wedding was that which united Mr. Ryan Hummel and Miss Anna Wolf last Wednesday. They to will be at homo after May 25 at 2222 Grace street.

The marriage of Miss Susan Colpctzer , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Colpctzor , to Mr. Harry Fraser Wllklns was solemnlze.l at the home of the bride on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. It was ono of the notable events of the season In local society circles , and was attended by ISO guests , mostly from Omaha and Council BluiTs. The ceremony was performed by Ilev.

SPAIN PROTESTS IN VAIN Objects to the Harviml Rcmninlng In the HnrborofSt Pieno. FRENCH GOVERNMENT TURNS A DEAF EAR ItrfiiMen to Compel tlir Still * ( o 1'ut to Men Unly tu linn Into tin- Arum of the SIIIIINI | | | ' ' ' - ' WASHINGTON , May II. Official Informn- ttoti reached here today ( lint the Spanish government < had filed n protest at the foreign onic In Paris against the permission given by the French authorities nt M.mlnhiuo to the United States auxiliary crulserHarvard to rcmnln In the harbor of St. Pierre % , Mar- Unique I , lor se\cn days to make necessary repairs. ; The French government has taken speedy action on the protest and Insists that the United States cruiser , being disabled , has n full right to remain seven days , or such ) time as may bo necessary to complete Its repairs , and that In the mt-antlme no steps will bo taken to have it leave the French port. KreT The Spanish protest Is an Important do- vclopmcnt In the present naval nltuatloii In the West Indies , as It serves to permit Franco to give n conspicuous evidence of Its friendly attltudo toward the United States and to offset the Insinuations which hnvo been made as to French favoritism to Spain , * It also makes clear for the first tlmi the plans of the Spanish admiral lo have the Harvard forced out of the harbor at Martinique 1 nnd then to capture It with his swift cruUcrs nnd destroyers. It IH 1m- possible ! for the Spanish war ships lo attack It while it Is Insldo the harbor. The mogt the Spanish admiral can do Is to wait out side the harbor In hopes of taking thu Har vard ns It leaves. It Is evident from the filing of Spain's protest that It had fully , expected . ! the Harvard to leave St. Pierre and that : the Spanish ships were lying In wait for . . It. But n wait of seven days would bo futile . . , as other American ships can go to the . . relief of the Harvard before that tlmo.y Moreover , while the capture of the Harvard would bo n valuable addition to ' .he'Spanlsh squadron . . , It la obvious that it cannot shape Its . movements for tha next seven days in order to effect this one capture. Had the French authorities decided , In view . of the protest , that the Harvard must leave at once , Its position would have been extremely critical , as its batteries are In significant compared with those of the big Spanish war ships , nnd Its ( leetness would not avail when the Spanish ships com manded the harbor entrance nnd had thirty- knot vessels among their number. As It Is the Navy department is relieved of all serious apprehension on account of the Har vard , ns the action of the French govern ment Insures Its safety. IntereNtotl In Other IllreetloiiB. By a strange coincidence the French own ership of Martinique Is bringing protests from both quarters , the United States ns well as Spain , although these from this country nre entirely unofficial nnd nro ex pressly discountenanced by the State de partment. They relate to the use of the French cable system between the United States nnd the West Indies , Intimations being made that these served to assist the Spanish authorities and to embarrass the officials at Washington. There appears to bo no ground for this suspicion , as it Is pointed out that the French cable company would be working against Its interests by such a course ot action , and , moreover , would subject Itself to the danger of having Its cable ( cut at Coney Island , where It makes the landing. thoIt It developed today that General Grecley , chief of the signal service , had laid down strict course of nctlon for the cable company pan , to which the company fully acceded. On Thursday General Grecley notified the company that the government was reliably advised that Spain was secretly using the French line to send messages from two Spanish officials In London to the Spanish authorities at Cuba and Pofto Rico. Ho sate this doubtless was without the knowl edge of the company. He then laid down certain classes of forbidden messages. These Included ! messages between Spanish officials , code or cipher messages , and messages inimical leal to the United States In Its present war against Spain. Exceptions were made to messages signed by the president and mem bers ot the cabinet , and also to messages from neutral governments and their repre sentatives in Washington. General Greeluy stated that he had no desire to exercise military control or supervision over the French cable lines , and , as long as tbo necessities of wnr permit , preferred that the company should look after Its own affalm. While granting this permission however , General Greeley said It was with the dis tinct proviso that the company would order Its employes to refuse to receive any the messages he had forbidden to bo sent. Mr. "Lurlenne. the agent of the com pany , gave General Grecley written assur ances that all the foregoing conditions would be fully observed , so that the United States authorities are now fully safeguarded against the use of the cable for purposes Inimical to the government. .

The storm came from the south and throughout the cty | residences and business blocks were left without a window pane on south side. Skylights wcro smashed everywhere , and In the business district many stocks of goods were soaked. The roofs of several street cars were pierced by .
