Hon. Charles Emory Smith of Philadel

former minister to Russia , was the guest of
honor at a puhllc reception tendered him last

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.

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.
Among those noticed among the
out-of-town visitors were : B. E.
Wonder , postmaster , Holmesvllle , Neb. ;
W. S. Raker , Gretna , Neb. ; V. O.
Simmons , Scvvard , Neb. ; Ross Hammond
mend , Fremont , Neb , ; Postmaster William
son , Rlverton , Neb. ; Postmaster Thomas A.
Hoalcy , Mlirord , Neb. , and many others
from Nebraska and Iowa points.
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.

A new political party that Is to be na
tional In character was born in Omaha last
night. It was brought forth at the camp
meotlcg held at Twenty-fifth and Mander-
Boii streets and was christened the United
Christian party. W It BonKert of Daven

J. F. It. Leonard of Alnsworth and Charles
Mejers of Pnrkwood , both of Iowa A meet
ing of the representatives of the party will
bo held ut Washington , la , on November
U--I. next , at which plans for pushing the
work will bo taken up and considered
The purpose of the United Chilstlan party
Is to work Iu the name of Jesus Christ nt the
ballot box , or at least that Is the explaua-
tlon given by Mr. Benkert. The code of
principles has nothing to do with finances or
the tariff It will favor direct legislation
by the people nnd will bo governed by the
standard , "What would Jesus do ? "
Mr Benkert says the party will go before
the voters In ISU'J and will be a power In
being a. benefit to the common people Dis
cussing political parties , he said "There
are two parties , the Christians' and the Dev
il's. Wo propose to organize the Christians'
party and will win it the polls. "

ELECTRIC PARADE TONIGHT

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 is something else courses through
the ve'lns or the knights beside the "rich ,
led sporting blcod" that has made the In
itiations or the last six months such hlghl }
enjoyable occasions for all but the- Initi
ates There has been a manifest desire on
the part of each succeeding house of thlh
branch ot royalty to excel the previous
houses In the Dep-irtment or Pageantry
When the present king , Ak-Sar-Beu IV ,
vas crowned he took a solemn oath his
first and last that he would show to the
good people of the kingdom ot Qulvera the
grandest parade their cjes hod ever beheld ,
In recognition or their goodness In building
the far fanu-d Transmlsslsslppl Exposition
Whether ho has kept his word will be seen
this evening To turpass the pageants or
rormcr monarchs Is no easy task , but n
parade constituted almost wholly or the
most brilliant forms or electricity by which
the counterrelt presentments of popular sub
jects appear resplendent Is a unique achieve
ment in itself. This burst of glory will
conclude the pageants of the autumnal fes
tivities of King Ak-Sar-Ben IV. .

There will remain the coronation of the
king and the queen to take place at the
royal castle on Friday evening. In honor of
this event the castle has been thoroughly
tenovnted and most beautifully decorated
H will appear like a bit of Ak-Sar-Ben won
derland with Its thousands of Incandescent
lights In red , green and yellow , with Its
real waterfalls and picturesque grottos and
with Its surpassing picture of knights and
belles , beautifully attlrgd , dancing here nnd
there and making merry over the coronation
or the king and queen , who will preside over
the destinies of the house of Ak-Sar-Ben
roi another year
The grand march or the royally appareled
knights will take place promptly at ! ) o'clock
and Immediately following this will be the
coronation or the king and the queen , whoso
identity Is the leading question of local BO
clety toda > . H Is planned to make more
or the coronation ceremonies than ever be
fore and the grand march ot the knights
will be a bit or resal splendor in Itseir.
ATtor the. king and queen have received
the mations or the court , the ladles In waitIng -
Ing , the maids or honor and all their at
tendant'knights , the dancing will bo begun
A program ot twenty-two regulai1 numbers
has been provided and between the dances
will bo promenades , which are not unlikely
to be convcited Into deux temps dances.
Two bands , the McCook brass band and the
Seventh Word band or Omaha , will furnish
the music. The one will play the regular
dances and the other the promenades , so that
there will bo a continuous concert or de
lightful music rrom the loyal lancers until
the strains of "Home , Sweet Home" an
nounce the breaking of the first morn of
the reign of King Ak-Sar-Bcn IV.

bioueht tl-o occasion nnd the duty together.
Is It not for enllehtcned American states
manship , watchful of American interests , to
use the opportunity , not in territorial
avarice but for commercial extension and
civilizing Influence in the Orient with the
basw and bulwark that are needed fur Its
support' Shall wo be worthy of this high
mission' I have full faith in my country
men. I believe In the spirit and the ca
pacity of the American people. This war
and Its tremendous question has given us anew
now elevation and dignity and purpose How
It has dwarfed and diminished our domestic
differences and our petty contentions ? How
It has kindled the patriotic fires and quick
ened the true national Instinct' How it
has lUted us to u higher piano or public
consciousness and to a broader view of na
tional greatness' In the large work before
us of governing and developing our new pos
sessions , of ameliorating and advancing the
condition of the new penplej who have been
brought under the- protecting folds of our
flag and of achieving the fullnewj of the pos
sibilities within our grasp there Is call for
all that U best In our American courage
and statesmanship and character.
There la call for thouebtful , conscientious
and patriotic devotion on the part of the
people. Dealing with the-ae great questions
which the future of our country and KH
relations to the world make necessary calls
for no narrow partisanship , Let us leavr
our partisanship to domestic IfsueB let 11
limit our family contests to the family clr-
tle , let us with patriotic spirit end them
nt our own shores , and when vve come to con *
front foreign countries nnd nations Involv
ing our honor , our dignity nnd our Interests
before the world , let us stand united tin one
people , forgetting that wo nro repbllcnns or
democrats nnd remembering only that wo
nro all Americans together ,
With single purpose and with uneirlng
wisdom our executive has called his nldcs
and associates In the great work from nil
parties and nil sections , nnd through nil
the conflict and all the settlement his sole
thought has been the welfare and glory ot
his country. It was for the American
people to meet these new questions in the
same lofty spirit of patriotism , with open
eyes for the broader career before us and
open hands for the higher duty nnd destiny
of the republic *

There has never been a finer or more de
lightful concert In Omaha than was glvch by
Inncs last night. The concert ! was given In
the Auditorium instead of on the Grand
Plaza as announced , the change being made
in deference to the urgently expressed wishes
of the vast number of regular attendants of
the concerts wl-o were unable to withstand
the | strain of sitting out In the cold air The
afternoon concert was given In the Audi
torium nt 1 o clock and the program was
broken Into somewhat by the ofllclal exer
cises of t'ho ' Pennsylvania delegation , which
had been promised possession of the Audi
torium nt 2 SO The band pla > ed ' Xnncttn'
overture , by Aubcr , with Its customary
finish , and as an encore gave the "American
Patrol" The "Faust" scenes were received
with a great dcmonstrat'ion of enthusiasm ,
In response to which the popular bandmaster
gave hla own two step march , "Love Is
King. " After a magnificent presentation of
Gottschalk s nocturne , "The Last Hope , "
Inncs wanted to quit , BO ns Vo make room
for the Pcnnsjlvanla speakers , but the audi
ence would not have It so and shouted nnd
cheered until the bandmaster good naturedlj
took his famous trombone in hand and
played a number.
In older that ) all imy have an opportunity
to hear tonight's concert without missing the
parade It has been determined to give the
Innes concert at 0 o'clock Instead of at 7 , the
customary afternoon conceit being given as
usual at 2 o'clock In the Auditorium.
All the electrical nirnngemcnts nre about
complete for the "Forgo In the Forest , '
which is to be the great spectacular featuic
of next Saturday night's concert A reheat-
sal of the piece will be held by the full en
semble tonight nfter the tegular concert
This Is made necessary largely b > the novel
electrical effects , which alvvaja have to be
carefully prepared , although the several dlf
fercnt features of double male quartet ,
church organ , cathedral chimes , flaming an
vlls , old-fashioned forge and a costumed
corps of musical blacksmiths all require tin
most careful advance pupaiatlou.

The people who came up from Topeka ,
Kan , tolsit the exposition made their
presence felt yesterday at evcrv turn < jt the
road. There were only 700 of them , but they
circulated around until some people had aii
Idea that they numbered nearer 7 000,000.
In the fliut place the Bo > d cadets , foity-flve
young women , dressed In blue and carrying
army rifles and cantecrs , matched out tu
the grounds , following their drum corps
They gave a drill on the Plaza and atiothe ;
over on the main court , after which the }
marched around the Midway and back to tlio
Plaza , where they drilled again. After that
they rested for a couple of hours , when
they went at It again and fiom then tint 1
after daik they were marching or drllllre
being applauded over and over again.
Just after the lloyd cadets reached the
grounds , Miss Anna Rose , queen of the Kar-
nlval Knights of Topeka , nnd her s lite , made
up of courtiers and ladles of the court ,
reached the giound. They visile * ! most 01
the main buildings , btopplng ror n urlT
period nt the Hawaiian exhibit , where she
met Commissioner Shingle , and then went
to MarKel's , wheie she and hei partv
lunched. During the afternoon Miss Rose
held n reception at the Kansas bulidlnfe ,
where . he met a large numbci of the Omahu
people and the Kansas pepolo who nre In
the city. After the reception she visited
a number of the buildings on the main court
and later on occupied a icscrvcd seat at
the Indian danceb
While * MUs Rose enjoys the experience ,
she is growing a little bit tiled of being it
queen and says the jnefeis the rou'lne of
evelyday life to being a queen without a

DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS SCIENCE
IN NEATNESS ? BE WISE AND USE
BELTON , Mo. , July 27.
For years I suffered terrible
every month and my doctor told me I
could not be cured except by an ope
ration. I felt I could not submit to
tlut and wis so despondent I had
given up all hopes of a cure. My hus
band insisted on my trying Wine of
Cardui and at listtlianlrGod I did try
it. List month I did not have a pain ,
and did all my work , which I had not
done in seven years.

Modesty is the crowning virtue of American women. 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
