IN OMAHA.
No attempt is made in Omaha to disguise the fact that the season
of musical pot-pourri, yclept grand opera, last week, was a con
spicuous failure. It has been a matter of complaint on the part of
the management that society did not patronize the opera, and
Omaha people generally are accused of a dreadful lack of apprecia
tion. While we do not care to wantonly discourage the very cour
ageous efforts of Misb Clary to force so-called grand opera upon a
public that is most decidedly not clamoring for the kind of entertain
ment given us )ast week, we are forced to say that it is somewhat
to the credit of Omaha society that it refused to become hysterically
enthusiastic over the sometimes picturesque and generally rocky
presentation of grand opera, the season of which came to a close
Saturday night.
It is hard to say anything in honest praise of the week's perform
ance. Some of the principals brought from abroad were fairly good;
but none of the singing was particularly meritorous. The local
chorus, which we were led to suppose would be exceptionally good,
' was inexcusably bad. It is a matter of more or less serious conjec
ture on the part of those who attended the various performances as
to where the chorus was recruited. For the most part, male and
female, they were dizzy specimens people that nobody ever saw
before, and that nobody ever wants to 6ee again. And they, couldn't
sing. Sometimes when they tried it was terrible.
Perhaps the most favorable impression made by any one of the
leading singers was that of Mrs. Wadsworth in "Ernani" Friday
night. Mrs. Wadsworth, since she came to Council Bluffs from
Lincoln, has had her voice thoroughly trained, and she is really a
, .very, pleasing artist.
t - In honor of Miss Thomas, who expects to leave to-morrow for
Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Florence gave, a very delightful bowling
party Wednesday evening, and on Friday Major and Mre. Humphrey
chaperoned a party of twenty down to Bellevue for an all day picnic
' in the woods. The crowd was a jolly one and the lunch exception
- ally good, so all had a most enjoyable time. ,
f-r .Miss Curtiss entertained very delightfully Wednesday afternoon,
" by a reception, for Miss Pumphrey. Mrs. Wyman and Miss Dundy
K assisted in receiving the guests, while Miss Thomas, Miss Doane,
t Miss Hughes and Miss McClelland presided in the dining room,
where delicious refreshments were served.
r , v The minstrel performance that was given last week by the young
&v?v is0iee of Council Hluns in ine su .rams guiia, was in every way a
i - 'towUszanccess. Among those noticed in the audience from Omaha
Miss Webster returned last Friday from a very delightful visit of
four weeks in St. Louis.
Colonel George M.Randall and Lieutenant David P. Cordray
spent Saturday in Omaha, Colonel Randall en route to his new

Mr. Robert W. Patrick is expected home from the east to-morrow.
Miss Kountze entertained the literary and dramatic club at dinner
Saturday evening.
Dame Rumor has been busy again in the matrimonial line. She
whispers of two engagements, onj is the sister of a prominent
lawyer, a highly educated and accomplished young woman, to a
foreigner; the other is that of a pctiet blonde to a very tall and popu
lar lieutenant.
Ethel five years old) Agnes: What is a chump?
Agnes (her older sister) A chump, my dear, is a man who buys
a girl a pair of garter buckles and hands them to her.
Even the upper balcony at Boyd's theatre was packed to its fullest
capacity on Tuesday evening of this week, when the Omaha lodge,
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, appeared before the audience
in burnt cork. It was the annual benefit for the charity fund, and
as there weie no expenses, the opera house and orchestra having
been donated, the proceeds netted something over $1,000. Each and
every one of the performers entered into the thing with all the spirit
and life possible. The jokes of the end men were fair, and the
singing and dancing remarkably good. In fact the whole perform
ance compared very favorably with professional minstrels, and from
the applause each received the Brother Elks should feel well satis
fied and much encouraged for a repetition next year.
In honor of Miss Pumphrey, Mrs. W. T. Wyman's guest, Miss
Dundy gave a Kensington on .Thursday afternoon, and on Friday
Mrs. Dundy entertained in the same manner for Miss Webster.
Mrs. Dallas Bache gave a very pretty luncheon to Mrs. Spencer on
Wednesday, at which women sat down.
Tuesday afternoon Miss McClelland entertained at tea.
The Cooking club gives a "Dutch supper" this evening at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Offutt. Cards are also out for a
gerraan which the club is to give at the home of Miss Nash on Tues
day evening of next week. Mr. John Patrick will lead the cotillion.
The man who called sarsaparilla a fraud, had good reason; for he
got hold of a worthless mixture at "reduced rates." He changed
his opinion, however, when he began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
pays to be careful when buying medicines.
