CROWD SEES INDIANS WED Third Asiiitant Society Editor Coven Corn Show Nuptials. NO .LOHENGRIN TO OPEN EVENT Barekneed Scots Daaee Hlsrhlaad . Fllna- and Klna; Corn and l)aea Alfalfa Are Crowned After Pair Are Married. The Oreat Editor came and stood by the desk of the third . assistant society editor. '.'Miss L ," said he, "you do this Indian wedding tonight. Read up a bit In Hia watha and throw In plenty of local color. Be careful not to have little Annie dressed In a war bonnet and if yon can writs anything funny, so much the better. Tell the night editor to play It up for a first page slug and not let It get burled on the market page, whatever happens." - (By the third assistant society- editor.) "I was dreadfully fussed at first when 1 got the assignment tt's the first big story I ever was on, but after a little I took a sniff of the second assistant's smelling salts, and I said to myself that I'd do this story so they wouldn't rewrite or Just die In the attempt. "Well, when I reached the concert hall the Scots were on the stage and the nicest looking man was playing the bagpipe. He was Just too grand for utterance in those kilts and that fox-brush effect hanging from his waist, though I think those bare knees are rather bold, and Bess B , who was with me, thinks so, too. "I auppbse I am breaking all the rules there ever were In writing this up Just In the way It all happened, but this Is the way It did happen, and I don't care anyhow: 'When the men of the hlelands, the men of the moss hags and the oatmeal bowl I guess that is writing some had finished the wedding started. I forgot to say that four little girls did the highland fling Just beautifully and. Mrs. Fitt and Mr. Watson tang solos, and Mr. Lindsay presided, and Mr. Wallace played the bagpipe they say always got In all the names, because people get mad If you leave them out. "It seemed awfully strange to have a wedding that was not started with the Lohengrin march, but it was a sort of relief not to have all. the men wobbling With one . foot in the air half the time. You know how they always march that way and' out of step, too, most of them. "Well, all the men marched In on one side of the stage, and. the women on the other. There was one man with the women and someone told me he was the bride's father, who was going to give her away Just like a white wedding. They lined up In a kind of semi-circle and then the father of . the . bride stepped forward and said 'How." The father of the groom stepped forward, too, and he said "How" right back. "Then someone . explained that the groomsmen at an Indian wedding always carried presents to the bride's father, given by the groom I . mean the presents were given .them by the groom to give, but- I don't see why, they should give 'them to. her father Instead of the bride. "The ceremony progressed. There, wasn't much to it, really. Chief Wat-te-glii that's the groom, took. Nah-cha-wee by the hand and put a feather In her hair. This feather business was the really Important part and the binding tie. The mere man who wrote an advance story .on the wedding yesterday declared that the taking by the hand was the essential thing, but I say that If holding hands made people married, there'd be a whole lot of girls and men married here In Omaha Who-Wouldn't know it until thsy read about it. , "After this tha groom made a little speech In Sioux. I didn't get this, but they ex plained that he said he felt tickled to death that there were so many, people present there . were Just hundreds and hundreds and the hall was packed to suffocation and that he was going to be awfully good to. little Laughing Eyes I think that name is so poetic and make her happy ever afterward.. Just like a fairy tale, wasn't It? ' "Then they cleared the stage, and a few minutes later back came the big chief wear ing a robs made all out of corn. I almost forgot to ssy that during the wedding the bride wore a crepe du I mean a buckskin Jacket covered all over with elks' teeth, and a waist of the same material. Below that she had on a 'chaps' chaps Is a euph emism, If you know what that means. Her only ornament I wrote that from force of habit was the loveliest necklace of warn pum, and altogether she looked Just too cute for words. The groom had on a war- bonnet and other things, but I never could describe men's clothes. "When they came back the bride had on a gown made of alfalfa, and they say a man named Peters paid for this out of his own pocket, but I don't know whether this should go In the story or not, the business office being awful fussy about what they call 'free advertising.' "The groom, arrayed in his imperial robes of corn, and the bluahlpg bride, In ultrama rine alfalfa, sat on two golden chairs which, I suppose, were the thrones. Then a man In a clerical robe, put the crowns on their heads, and the people cheered and applauded. A Mr. Herrtck made a speech saying how fine the corn show Is, or some thing like that, and It was all over. "I shall tell the night editor that I don't care whether, In his capacity of news butcher, he cuts the heart out of my story or nqt, but I'll probably get up early In the morning and look to see how it appears In type, nevertheless.". FAREWELL TO DR. DUTCH ER Friends Teader Good Wishes to Retlr- In Faster of First Chris tina Chnroh. . A large number of the congregation and friends of Dr. 8.-D. Dutcher, the retiring pastor of the First Christian church, at tended the farewell reception given in his honor last night at the home of W. A. Banders. 2128 Wirt street.

William Jennings Bryan attended a pri vate view at the Lumlere studio Satur day of a portrait of himself dene in oil by J. Laurie Wallace, which was then shown for the first time. - Mr. Wallace painted the portrait without commission, and Mr. Bryan expressed himself as de lighted wtth It in all ways. It shows him three-quarts rs length, in his study. Tbe painting was done from photographs and from sketch made by Mr. Wallace from life while, visiting at Falrvtaw during ths summer. The distinguished subject says la execution It excels any portrait of him self he knows -of. It will be on view at the studio for some days. An experienced shopper tells us that she can do twice as much shopping in the forenoon as in the afternoon with one-half the fatigue. She says there are no crowds then; that she has no diffi culty in obtaining a seat in the street cars; that she is waited upon more promptly at all stores; that the clerks are more agreeable and take more pains to show goods, because they, like herself, are not tired at that time of day. Knowing this to be true, we suggest to all ladies able to do so, to try this plan and do their shopping in the early part of the day. UNITED STATES AND JAPAN Baron Takahira ' Talks of Interna tional Relations. RECENT TREATY- IS DISCUSSED Diplomat Says Reaffirmation of Pol ; lcles ' Is ' Only Transac tion Between Trusted ' ' Friends. NEW 'YORK. Dec. 20. Comparing the recent Joint declaration by Japan and the United States in regard to their respective policies in the Pacific to "a transaction be tween trusted friends," Baron Takahlra, Japanese ambassador to the United Statea, in an address last night et a Lotus club dinner given In his honor,, expressed in an unmistakable way his great gratification that so strong a band of union between the two nations had been cemented. President Frank H. Lawrence. In Intro ducing the ambassador, alluded to the re cent understanding as a development to be welcomed from the American viewpoint as Insuring a continuance of the amicable re lations between the two countries, and also their friendly rivalry in commerce. ..Baron Takahlra, after expressing appre ciation of the compliment the club had paid him, said: When I lived In this city many years ago, I used to go to the Harlem river for fishing and I saw that the boatman always rowed hard when the tide waa against him; In the same way I now see that a diploma speaks much when his affairs are not in good shape. But, as things are now be tween the United States and Japan, thero is nothing to warrant much speech-making. I fully believe I am not mistaken when I say that our relations are in the best pos sible condition. I think we may say there Is nothing more to be desired In the rela tions of our two countries. But If the past Is to serve as a lesson for the future It would be well to consider what we have had to experience for these few years. In these years, we have to admit, we had such a terrible time In regard to our rela tions aa we could never have anticipated. No douDt there were some undesirable in cidents occurring between some people of the two countries, but they were only local affairs and In no way to be regarded as menacing to our traditional friendship. But too much Importance was given to them In some quarters and even a war clamor was allowed to be raised In spite of the good will continually existing between the two governments. But, thanks to the sincerity existing all the time , between the two governments, no serious consequences were allowed to occur that might otherwise fol low such circumstances. Plain Business Transaction. I took the opportunity at a dinner given in my honor on my arrival here somo months ago to declare that there is no art in our game of diplomacy. In our International transactions 1 can moat firmly repeat the same asster.tlun, and add thai there is no such word us "diplomacy" as popularly defined. The declaration of the two governments recently adopted by the United States and Japan in ivard to their respective policy in China and the Pacific is a good example. It is simply a re affirmation of what was understood be tween them years ago and tiiere is prac tically nothing which was not hitherto de clared between them. It is like a trans action between trusted friends. It requires no formality to legalise the Instrument. Still, when such declaration waa made be tween the governments of ereut moral standing like those of the United Slates and Japan It will uncouotedly have an Im portant effect, whloh I think is already beginning to be felt in many ways, and it is my sincere desire that the peoples ot each country will have the same mind as their own government In trusting that ot the other and in doing so I am convinced their rights will be fully protected and their interests largely advanced to the mutual bent-fit of the two countries. The menu for he dinner was fancifully Japanese In Its decorations, outlined the rise of Baron Takahlra In Japanese affairs and In the world of diplomacy. It took up his career in U7t when he was secretary of the Japanese legation In Washington, ISid finding him consul general to New York; ISH promoted to minister of Italy; 1896 minister to Austria-Hungary; 18a vice minister for foreign affairs In the em peror'a cabinet; 1S00 minister to the United Hates; UUt, one of the Portsmouth peace mala & Coiiacil "ChrMmas Ire the most popular Novelty ever introduced, and are made to Hi on the top of Christmas trees.
