German day at the exposition , so far as
that celebration affected the parade planned
n
for the occasion , lost nothing by being post
poned until yesterday. The further time se
cured not only gave the managers oppor
tunity to Improve on the original plans , but
gnvo the weather a chance to settle down
nnd the cold wave an opportunity to dlssl-
pate Itself upon the other days. The only
bad effect , which was not duo to the post
ponement , wns the loss of several of the
floats Intended for the parade. Ilaln spoiled
thorn during itho week and only four of
these prepared by the local German societies
were used In the parade yesterday , wlvh two
others prepared by other organizations.
The weather yesterday , whllo at times
cloudy and ( threatening , was generally clear
and the sun found a great many opportuni
ties Do shlno during the time the march wns
going on. There was a considerable crowd
of spectators along the line of march to wit
ness the display , which wns a remarkable
gathering for n Sunday In Omaha. The
pageant was a plcturcsquo one , made up as
It was largely of characters representing
prominent personages In the history of the
German people. The military spirit pre
vailed everywhere , giving a dash of en
thusiasm which Is yet appreciated owing to
recent complications , itit ) conspicuous in
all parts of the parade , with Its numerous
banners nnd Hags of various significance ,
was Cht > display of the stars and stripes
Wherever there was n flag of German origin
or application there by Its side waved Old
Glory.
The parade was an hour late In starting
and It was 2 o'clock bcfoio It was fairly un
der way under the command of W. P.
Stoecker , grand marshal. The line of march
was east from Turner hall , where the line
was formed , down Harney street ttt Six
teenth , south to Howard , to Fifteenth , Co
Farnam , to Thirteenth , to Douglas , to Six
teenth and north on Sixteenth to the expo
sition grounds.
The line was led by four mounted buglers
from the Second Nebraska volunteers. They
were Miles of Company G , Walt of Company
F and Murphy and Ellsworth of Company A.
Following them came the Lotz band with
ulxitecn pieces and the Columbia Military
band of twcnty-Uwo pieces.
One of tile Karly 1'lillierorx.
The Initial float was a representation of
the legend that attaches to the name of
Frederick Darbarossa. This warrior-emperor
became a crusader nnd history tells that
after many warlike deeds ho was either
drowned or died of fever. This story was
not accepted by the people of the times or
their defendants , who believed that Uar-
barosa returned to Mount Klefhauser , upon
which his castle was located , and lived In a
cave beneath U. The Interior of this cave
was shown and In Its center sat the figure
of the emperor. Ills red beard had become
of such length that It bail fallen upon the
marble table before which ho sat and there
grow fast , holding the emperor prisoner and
preventing him from returning to his home.
About him wore a half dozen gray elfins
with long gray beards , who were his attend
ants , and also acted as a guard for a pile
of treasure that strewed the ground In
front of the cave. Above the cave were the
ruins of the emperor's castle and about It
fluttered a flock of huge black crows , which
had been selected as Its guardians In place
of the eagles. Occasionally the emperor dis
patched ono of his elfs to see If the birds
wcro still on guard.
Behind the float rode an Interesting nnd
picturesque cavalcade. In the group of
about flfty horsemen wcro represented some
of the most prominent figures of the Ger
man empire. The emperors were togged
out In the regalia of the period In which
they lived and were accompanied by a body
guard of courtiers attired In the gay cos
tumes of the times. The kaleidoscope of
color displayed by the various costumes
farmed ono ot the most attractive features
Ul the lino.
Bn the van rode the mighty Herman the
Great , who was ruler of the Germans on
the threshold of the Christian era. and Is
tailed as the father of German Independ-
ouco. His robes wcro gay and rich ant
over all ho bore n huge bearskin. Follow
ing came the crusader , Frederick Barbarossa
In rich furs nnd crmlno and glittering Im
perial robes. Next was Rudolph of Hapsburg -
burg , founder of the house of Austria In
the thirteenth century. His robes were o
glittering green nllk. Thfl great Dluchcr
von Wahlstadt , the soldier of the last cm
of the eighteenth century , with cocked ho
and the more unlform-llko costume of tha
period , came next , and after him was Na
poleon nnd then Kaiser Wllhclin the First
both In military uniforms. Each of these
historical notables was accompanied by n
half dozen followers. These horsemen were
an Interesting picture of the devclopmcn
of the German Imperial costume during the
centuries. Kaiser Wllhclm II was also rep
resented further along the llnolu _ the mili
tary uniform of the present day.

The Omaha Landwehr verein had the
following unique section In the lino. Al
the members of the society rode In carriages
and In the loading vehicle were plcturcc
the three prominent figures of the late
history of Germany Kaiser Wllhclm I
Bismarck and Von Moltko. The characters
wore represented by C. F. Boufller , Charles
Kaufmann and John Waller , respectively
and they succeeded In Impersonating the
features ot the thcro great men very well

> ocullar helmets. The Herman standard was
arrlcd by ono of the soldiers. Obert IHiach
was the marshal. Following the society a
ouple of girls In Swiss uniform here In
nether carriage.
The Omaha Concert band with twenty-flno
> lcces came next , leading the Omaha Platt-
cutscher xercln and the South Omaha
'lattdeutscber icroln , with Henry Ilusch as
marshal. These tro societies escorted a
oat that contrasted with the other war-
Iko nnd royal pictures In the line. It
was a harbor scene. A full-rigged vessel
oated over the sea and approached the
larbors , represented by female characters.
To the rear was a sailor lad , the pilot who
afcly guides the vessel through the In-
rlcncles of the harbor channels.
1'ollonlng the float was the Austro-Hun-
garlan verein , M. Krachcr , marshal , and a
mall party of mounted horsemen , reprc-
entlng knights herald , announcing the ap-
iroach of < the royalty on the succeeding
oat. The Bccno was a council chamber ,
Ighly furnished. About a center table
grouped a half dozen counts , the center llg-
ire being Count Kbcrhnrd of Wurtemberg.
The historical significance ot the picture
ay In the representation of the moment
when Count Ebcrhnrd became the first duke
of Wurtemberg. Ills merit consisted In the
act that ho was beloved by his people and
its elevation was the consequence of this ,
or others about the table boasted only ot
heir wealth and great possessions. The
picture was rich In color.
The Schwabcn vcrcln , Max Iltcht marshal ,
as next In line , with about fifty members.
The Omaha Military band , with sixteen
pieces , led the St. Peter's noclety of St.
oscph'a church , which had 125 men In line ,
with 1' . Laux , marshal. The society es-
orted a float of n composite character. The
first scene represented the old country. A
Iclapldatcd brick homo was shown nud Its
ccupants In outlandish costumes , wcro en
gaged In their overday pursuits. The wife
nnd mother sat before the door knitting , the
ather was pegging nt an old boot , the son
vas doing a bit of carpenter work and the
oungest of the family was playing with a
goat. The next scene represented St. Uonl-
ace christianizing Germany. In a mountain
doll the richly gowned priest wai expound-
ng the gospel to a number of rather wlld-
ooklng natives , dressed In the skins ot anl-
nals. The concluding scene w&s entitled
'Germans In America. " It pictured a modern -
orn home of this country , with piano and
rich furnishings and happy , well-dressed oc
cupants. In the rear was a pedestal upon
which Columbia atood and to either side ot
her was a German United States volunteer
soldier.
The Dnvarlan verein , with George Hoff
man marshal , nnd the Orpheus Singing so
ciety , A. Schocdsack marshal , led the next
division , followed by the Oermanla lodge of
Ancient Order of United Workmen with a
argo turnout of members. Then there wcro
the Saxony and Swiss vcrclns with generous
lumbers , with Jacob Hess marshal.
Hero of S\l Itrcrluilil.
The Swiss float came next and pictured the
legend of Swltrerland that Is best known
throughout the world the story of William
Tell. Ono of the principle figures was that
of the Austrian bailiff Count Kessler richly
gowned and on a prancing horso. Behind
ilm was the polo raised In the market place
of Altdorf , upon which was stuck the hate
: o which he had bidden all the Inhabitants
: o bow. William Tell refused to perform
such homage because he declared himself a
Iree man. He was condemned to death , but
; ho sentence was remitted on condition that
10 shot an apple from the head of his son.
The float pictured William Tell before the
mounted bailiff , with a crossbow In his hand
and preparing to shoot the apple from the
joy's head. About were grouped members
of the bailiff's guard. The scene was laid
under the branches of a tree. All the char
acters were attired In the many-colored cos
tumes of the period.
The country delegates had the next place
n line , and they made a creditable showing.
They were all mounted , ami represented the
ormnns In Millard , Bennlngton and Elk-
liorn. The former carried the only Gorman
flag unfurled In the parade , but with It
was the ptptty starry banner of the march
ers' adopted country. L3ach of these locali
ties wns represented by a marshal In Henry
Vo3 < ) of Bcnnlngton , Dr. Kruso of Millard
and Henry Denker of Klkhorn.
The concluding float typified the union of
Germany and the United States. Under n
rich panoply Columbia and Germanla , In
costumes of the respective national colors
and with coronets upon their heads , stood
aldo by sldo. and at their feet rested the
prlcosses of peace Art , Industry , Agricul
ture and Science. They wcro resting upon
the sldo of a hugo mound of the products of
the field , of the shop and of the arts. The
float was handsomely colored and made a
striking picture.

COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN

ADDRESSES OF GREETING AND COMMENT

Alliance ot lliiiiiimlt } ' .
The last of the notable list of congresses
acid In this city In connection with the
Transmlsslsslppt Exposition Is that ot the
National Council of Women , which will
convene hero today and continue Its ses
sions throughout the week. The first ot the
component branches of the National Coun
cil to meet hero Is the Council of Jewish
Women , which held n highly successful
meeting at the First Congregational church
ast evening.
The large auditorium ot the church was
well filled with members of the council ,
their families and many representatives of
other religious denominations. The front of
Iho church was tastefully decorated with
> almi and chrysanthemums and Mrs.
Frances E. Ford presided at the organ.
The meeting was presided over by Mrs.
Hannah G. Soloman , president ot the Na
tional Council ot Jewish Women. Rev.
Mary Gnrnrd Andrews of this city made
the opening prayer. Mrs. Martin Cahn sang
a beautiful solo.
The greeting to the visiting delegates fol
lowed. It was delUcred by Mrs. Alexander
Pollack , president of the Omaha section of
the Jewish council. After heartily welcom
ing tbo leaders of the National Council of
Women nnd the delegates of the Jewish
council she said : "It Is a most opportune
tlrno for this council to assemble here.
ThtH beautiful autumnal weather of our last
October days makes the season agreeable
and the attraction of our great exposition
only Increases the Interest hero at this
tlmo. Wo hope the sessions of the council
will 'prove most profitable. The Jewish
council has accomplished a great work In
the country. In our work of philanthropy
and literature let us remember the appro
priate motto recently expressed by Hon.
Jacob H. Schlff : 'Lot us ever bear In
mind that no people can continue to live
who have lost their hold on religion. ' "
I'rotilcnin Ilcforc the Council.
President Hannah G. Soloman of the na
tional council followed with a timely ad
dress on "Our Problems. " The address
abounded with bright things and was fre
quently Interrupted with applause. In her
Introduction &ho told of the arrival of three
Jews In America with Columbus , the prog
ress of the Jews hero since then and the
part they had played In building up the
country , especially In developing the west.
She continued : "Permit mo to congratulate
Omaha on Its magnificent exposition. Its
success in splto of the adverse conditions Is
the marvel of today. Greater than Its ma
terial success Is the higher reiult secured
through the congresses held In connection
with the exposition. The Increased ; olcrancc
In religious matters that followed the Par
liament of Religions at the World's Fair
proved to bo one of the best results ot
that exposition. So It will bo at Omaha.
"Women play nn Important part In the
Jewish religion. In the Jewish religion , aa
In all forms of Christianity , the women are
In the majority as members and workers In
religious matters. Our council Is now well
organized throughout the country. There
are fifty-eight sections In as many differ
ent cities , the total membership being over
5,000. The work of the sections Inclules the
study of Jewish religion nnd I'teranire ' , the
best forms of philanthropy , Sabbath school
work and the establishment and support
of mission schools for poor Jewish chil
dren. Jewish women love their faith and
In almost any city ono enthusiastic woman
can found a section of the na'tonal coun
cil. To keep up the Interest In the work
U another problem. Th novels of today
are apt to pro\o moro alluring than tl o
study of the Bible. The mass of fiction now-
turned out makes It hard to present to a
section six \olumcs of undeniable truths.
It Is hard to secure a study ot Jewish re
ligion or literature against the reading of
the highly realistic bits of fiction now pu
llshcJ.
What the Wo mi * it Are DoliiK.
"But still our work advances. We have
seventy-five study circles , each numbering
from five tx > 200 members and nearly everyone
ono of them led by an able rabbi teacher.
There are nlno mission schools maintained
In the country , giving Instruction to several
thousand Jewish children. The work of
philanthropy Is admirably carried on. Wo
have no almsgiving sections. Instead , the
philanthropic work Is so arranged as Vo glvo
most good to the poor. The branches In
clude Industrial work , sewing , summer outIngs -
Ings nnd establishment of branches of the
Creche. Several thousand dollars wcro
raised for the army and navy during the
war with Spain. The Now York section
alouo contributed over $3GOO for supplies to
the soldiers and sailors and other sections
raised about $10,000. Some of our members
desired that the council should express Itself
on the Dreyfus matter , but It wns decided
that ) It Is not right to blnmo a whole nation
for the wrongs of a few of Its officials.
These who have suffered from this outrage
have our whole sympathy , but It would be
unfair to hold the French people responsi
ble for the crime. Wo believe the Idea of
the Jews settling In Palestine Is Impractica
ble nnd Impossible. Not many of our num
ber favor the establishment of a separate
Jewish state , although such an Institution
might have many advantages. Those who
do believe In the wisdom ot founding such
a state would prefer to see It occupy some
territory of Great Britain , for under the
English flag the Jewish people are treated
wl'Jh fairness and granted equality. "
A'liilnite of TJmiiKlit.
Mrs. May Wright Sewall of Indianapolis ,
president of the National Council of Women ,
followed with an address on "Old Wine. "
Among other things she said : "Thero Is no
vintage ot the human race of account save
the vintage of .thought. That has been
garnered drop by tlrop for ages. Scientists
call It evolution. When the history of this
century comes to bo written the feature will
bo found to bo the now forms developed dur
ing the century. The making of new bottles
for old wine has been the chief work of
the century. There are now B76 different
denominations of Christianity , and even some
of these are divided Into orders and schools ,
making the total number ot divisions much
greater. The difference of forms Is hpre
seen to bo the conspicuous feature. Some of
these forms of religion have sprung from In
conspicuous Incidents. A set of men who
considered U wrong to bow before the king
resolved to wear their hats even In the
king's presence. From this they formed the
custom of wearing their hats on all occa
sions ; then their hats had to be made of
the same color , the same shape and the same
width of brim. From a resolve to be with
out form this sect came to most formally
observe form In their religious worship. In
religious life no new religious seed has been
planted , but change and modification are seen
among nil of the denominations.
"In all the history of the world there 1s
no such wonderful example of the power
of thought as that furnished by the Jews.
They ore a chosen people , but not chosen
because of the commonly accepted meaning
of that term. They nro a chosen people by
vlrtuo of their religious thought. The new
element that Is today being added to tbo old
, wlno is found in the reverence for the source
ot human life , the assurance of the destiny
ot the human race. "
Mini Antlimif 1'rvnriitril.
Miss Susan B , Anthony was Introduced by
President Soloraan rid if given quite an ova
tion. She thanked 'the' ' ' auditors for their
reception. After speaking briefly of her
Quaker principles am the equality of men
and women she beggqd to bo excused from
making nn address , on Account of the Into
hour and her great dcgreo of fatigue. She
urged all to attend ( ho meetings of the
week nnd promised 'they' ' should not listen
for her In vain , as sha should speak several
tlmea during the congress.
Habblt Leo M. Franklin of this city con
cluded the program with an eloquent ad
dress on the true destiny ot women. He
said it had taken the world many cen
turies to realize the true worth ot women ,
but predicted that o\en her present high
position would bo advanced before many
moro years had come and gone. The world
today Is realizing that success In life Is
dependent on the personality ot the Indi
vidual and not at all on the sex. The Jew
was the first of all the ancient peoples
to first realize woman's noble rights and
her Immense power. The Jews first con
ceded her eminent ability to form right hu
man Ufa and sentiment. The bounds of
woman's position are the boundaries of hu
manity's spiritual struggle.

It looked like old times on the grounds
last night. For the first time In more than
a week It was warm enough to make an
evening at the exposition enjoyable nnd there
wcro more people In sight -than have been
In evidence on any evening since Jubilee
week. The band concert was given on the
Plaza and the big audience wns thoroughly
comfortable. The Midway was In full awing
again nnd a big crowd of Omaha people
who ha\e been kept away by the cold even
ings of late came out to make the most of
the opportunity. Most of the people started
homo early , but there were enough left to
keep the MUwny busy until well toward
the closing hour.

end of the show. The outstanding obliga

been reduced to about f2SOO and of the
largo amount of notes that were received on
account of concessions , only $1,500 remains
unpaid. The bulk of this amount Is good
and only ono or two of the conccsslonlsts
are. manifesting any reluctance to settle.
It Is expected that the remaining amounts
will bo collected during the week , so that

Ono of the greatest annoyances with
which Captain Mercer has had to contend
since the Indians came to the exposition has
been the bootleggers , who have seemed de

of the camp. Scores of these people have
been detected and drhen from the grounds.
Seldom bos one succeeded In disposing of a
bottle of liquor without being caught In the
