Charles Emory Smith of Philadel phia , postmaster general of the United States , editor of the Philadelphia Press and former minister to Russia , was the guest of honor at a puhllc reception tendered him last evening by Edward Hoscwatcr , editor of The Omaha De , In the court of The Bco build- log. log.It It was one of the most notable atlalrs that has even taken place In The lleo build ing , where so many distinguished public men have met the citizens of Nebraska , and was attended by a largo concourse of people. Kach visitor was personally presented to the representative of President McKlnlcy's eab- Inct , and many of them enjoyed tiulte a llt- tlo Intercourse with him The reception committee consisted of Edward Rosewatcr , General Charles I' . Manderson , who pre sented the visitors to Postmaster General Smith , who In turn Introduced them to As- distant Postmaster Woodnrd , and the lat ter to United States Judge Munger and Colonel J. J. Dickey The receiving committee occupied ft post at the north end of the handsome court. A dais slightly raised above the level of the court and spread with oriental rugs formed the station of the host , the guest of honor mid the membsrs of the reception committee. In front of them hung two large American nags , gracefully crossed and suspended from the balcony of an upper lloor. Back of them appeared a transplanted conservatory rich with rare plants. IlGcoriillonn Mont KltcutUc. The grand court of The Boo building never looked prettier than It did last evening. Brilliant with hundreds of multi-colored In candescent lights the effect was softened with several choice collections of stately palms admirably arranged on the staircase nnd throughout the court. The most notable display or How era was that which completely filled the One marble fountain In the middle of the court. Instead of the usual Jeta of water In the tessellated basin appeared a lavish display of palms and Terns rising tea a height of n do en feet above the marble top of the fountain , ono beautiful palm forming an artistic apex for the floral pyra mid. About the base of the court , on nil nldca , were distributed moro palms , wh le tba broad stairs leading to the llrst main lloor were lined with the same flowers and the- effect of the whole was not unlike the charming appearance of the richly decorated placlta of sorao rare Mexican mansion. The Bootless white walla of the court Bhono brilliantly In the reflected light of the variegated electric lights and this ro- uplendont scene was happily broken by the irovlng beaux and belles about the corridors or the upper lloors. The pretty gowns of the visitors looked all the moro attractive In these points or vantage and the picture in the balconies or the second and third floors combined pleasingly with the animated Bight In the court proper. The balustrades or the upper corridors were appropriately trimmed with red. white and blue bunting , draped In graceful festoons about the Tour sides of the court. Throughout the evening the Sutorlus Mandolin orchestra , assisted by the Misses Lowe , rendered delightful music from the second balcony. The guests began to arrive shortly nfter S o'clock and continued to call to pay their respects to the well known Journalist and diplomat until after 10. After the guests had met Mr. Smith they passed out through the other sldo of the court and took elevators to the seventh floor or The Bee building. Hero refreshments , with coffee and punch , wore served to all who called , in the large assembly room. Several hundred of the visitors took the opportunity to Inspect the composing rooms , stereotyping department and press room of The Bee after being served with refreshments. Some " \Vlio Attended.

Prominent among the callers were eighty letter carrleis and clerks or the Omaha postofflce , uniformed , who marched to The Bco building early In the evening to greet their chief from Wash ington. Mayor Frank n. Moores and the flre and police commissioners called to pay their respects after the adjournment or their meeting at the city hall. The visitors refused to disperse until after Postmaster General Smith consented to ad dress them. Mr. Smith , when Introduced by Mr. Rosewater , paid a high compliment to The Bee and Its magnlflccnt establishment ns t > pteal of the west. Hu said this was the llrst time he bad visited In the transmlssls- slppl country and standing hero almost In the middle of the American continent ho realized ns ne\er before the greatness nnd grandeur of the republic. Ho felt sure that the visit had done htm good and that when ho returned to the editorial chair , as ho surely would , ho would bo a better editor because of what ho had learned on this trip. He emphasized tbo Importance or the PostolHco department as the one branch or the government service that came nearest homo to the people and represented more than any other the Intelligence or the coun try ; this was shown by the fact that out of 17,000,000,000 letters written In the world each year one-third of them are written In the United States. He concluded by calling on those present connected with the postal eenlce to do what they could to Improve Its usefulness and maintain Us high cftl- clcncy. Mr. Roscwater also responded with a few words expressing appreciation of the compli ment paid Omaha and Nebraska by the \lslt of the postmaster general. IIUMV Out the ( inn.

The Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben had some . tired men among their number jcsterday , but . a llitlo rest after their long ride through the ! principal Streets of the city made them I feel as though they hod drunk of the foun tain of youth and all nro ready to participate - ticipate In the grand electrical parade this evening. There has never been a pageant In this section of the country on which so much time . nnd money have been expended , and the knlgh's who have had the pleasure of see ing eomo of the floats Illuminated declare that they are by far the most beautiful ever seen. There are twenty of the floats , nnd each Is lighted by several hundred In candescent lamps Popular subjects or mod > ern history are represented by the floats , and the heroes of the late war with Spain nro given espt chilly conspicuous positions. i Interspersed among the floats will be ( Ifteen of the best bands that can be seemed , and I the South Omaha Equestrian club will ap- I e.ir 100 strong , with as many flne steeds. The Hoard of Governors , as Is Its custom , will ride at the head of the column.

There will remain the coronation of the king and the queen to take place at the royal castle on Friday evening.

It U the trait that all mankind admires. A modest woman is the most pleasing of all created things. Because of this becoming virtue thousands of women prefer to suffer untold miseries rather than confide their troubles to a physician , and to even think of submitting to an examination is revolting. They can't get their own consent to an operation. Wine of Cardui permits sensitive women to retain their modesty. With it they can cure " female troubles" in the quiet of their own rooms. If special treatment is required they can write to the Advisory Department of the Chattanooga Medicine Co. , and their letters will be promptly answered by women trained LADIES' ADVISORY DEPARTMENT. in the cure of womanly For lulrlco In cnipj requiring tpe- del directions , addrcu , clrlng irinp- weaknesses and drains.
