All that night they eat huddled upon
the bed momentarily expecting the
water to reach then. In tin morning
when the atorm was over they bailed
the rraidenca out and patched the roof.
The aoc'.al success of the occasion waa
due largely to the plana and exertions of
Mrs. Hunter and Mr. Robert? who plan
ned this winter picnic. Before separat
ing, the association thanked them and
all others who had given them such a
gsod time.
The annual meeting of the Historical
society was addressed by the president
the Hon. J. Sterling Morton and by Dr.
Miller, th ablest editor, c!s MicsiaiippI
aide. The meeting waa held in the chapil
of tbeState University and the 014 Set
tlers adjourned their meeting to attend
the exercise! of this society.
The Hon. J. Sterling Morton read an
interesting review of Nebraska Journal
ism, in the course of which be improved
every opportunity to throw deserved
bouquets at his old friend, enemy and
finally friend, Dr. Miller who Bat beforo
him and modestly and appropriately
blufhed at the proper times.
When it was Dr. Miller's time to re
late the atory of Omiha nowspaper
history, ho threw more bouquetp, more
times at Mr. Morton than he had ro
ceived. The entente cordiale which exists
between these two eminent pioneers
was fully demonstrated and the audiercco
fully sympathized with tie two speak
ers. After paying tribute to the ancient
journalists of Omaha, wherein the name j
of Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Rose water
were not conspicuous, Dr. Miller spoko
of the editors of the etato who hold an
honorable place in the history of the
state. He was followed by Mr. Furnas
and by Mr. H. T. Clark and Mr. John A.
MacMurphy, when the ssfs'oa was ad
journed to meot Wednesday evoning.
On Wednesday the following program
had been prepared and was carried out
with but little chango:
7:15 Buslmsi meeting; reports or offi
cers, election, etc.
8.-00 Two notable habeas corpus
cuks in .Nebraska.
The arrest of the Lincoln city council,
1837, A. J.Sawyer.
The Ponca Indian habeas corpus- case
1876-77, T.H. Tibbies.
9:15 Joint session with the horticul
tural society to eat apphs.
The Jewish women hive been slow in
forming clubs, but tbey now have
strong aationil organization in the
: Council of Jewish Women. The Lincoln
section of the council was organized
about a year ago with the object of
studying the history of the Jewish peo
ple. Weekly meetings are held for the
nembsrt, but once a month a miscel-
I laaeous evening program is given, whsn
ctfcera are allowed to attend. The offi
cars at the club are: Pretident, Mrs.
Newaaark; vice-president, Mrs. Mayer;
cretary. Miss Anna Mayer; treasurer,
Mra. Roeanbaum. The members,
though few, are doing conscientious
work in a quiet, unostentatious way.
One of the B'.iongest branches of this
society is the Jewish Woman's ccuccil
el New Orleans, which includes almost
every Jewish woman of prominence in
that city. "At an evening reception of
the council an address was delivered to
the members and guests who packed
the assembly rooms to the doors, by tho
Right Rev. Bishop Sessums, head of the
Episcopal church in Louisiana, an event
which in the invitation and acceptance
of club and orator wasgracsfully signifi
cant of tho liberality of thought on both
idea."
A copy of the year book of the Wo
man's Club round it way lately to Phil
adelpsda, and was carried to a meeting
of the famous New Century Club, where
it waa examined by the members with
grout interest. Tne broad principle3 up
on which the Lincoln club is founded
ilfi invitation loall women to enjoy its
privileges, excite the warm admiration,
(if not the desire to emulate) of a club
whose own membership is limited to 1.00,
leaving a waiting list of 170 anxious wo
men who would fain get in. But it is
queatiouablo if so broad a platform
would bo practicable in a great city.
The New Century Club owns its club
bouse and has recently raised its initia
tion feo to $25 with annual dues ct 10. No
wonder that much surpriso was evinced
that co much could be offered hero for
the fee of SO cents the Pblladelphians
are wondering how we can do it.
In a letter from Mrs. Stoutonborough
to the editor of this department, she
rajs: "When preparing my annual I
should have placed the ''Lotus blossom"
in the centre of the club bouquet, ar
ranging the other flowers in their proper
places. I did not wish ts cenvey the
iJea that tho little circlo at Rose Cot
tage was tho first club, but was informed
that from that circle, with Miss Elliott
as leader, grew the Woman's club 'which
hasbecomo a featuro of your city's in
tellectual life.' "

is most interesling, with the music
beautifully rendered, the suececa of the
club seemed assured. But recently the
programs have been eo severely criticis
ed by the reporters, who ehould have
been excluded from a c'ub organized
eololy for musical development, that it
was threatened with destruction; and
for tho future the meetirga of the club
will be private.
Personalities or carping criticism
would ruin any club; and in the Der
thick the object of meeting is the analy
sis of the works of tho,famous compos
er, not to criticise tlia more or less im
perfect agency of roles or digital dex
terity through which the music is pre
Eented to the audience. Real students
are able to grasp the great masters
ideas even if imperfectly rendered, ond
others should certainly be'exciuded.
The department of Household Eco
nomics met with Mrs. Gund, 27ih and
N streets on Monday afternoon, when
ths subject of "Breads" was considered.
Mrs. Guy Brown read an article on the
kinds of bread used by the different
a'ion?, and Mis. Lawrence gave an in
tercslirg paper describing the process
of makiugsalt-risisg bread, whole wheat,
brown bread, bread eticltt, coded cake
and cinnamon rolle.all of which varieties
had been prepared by members of the
club who, at the cloce of the program
were served with coffee. Adjourned to
meet in two weeks with Mrs. Crawford,
25th and P streets.
Three prominent members of the Mat
inee Musicale, Mra. D. A. Campbell,
Mrs. J. W. Winger End Mrs. 11 P.
Brown, will bo ii Chicago during the
meetings of the National Federation of
Musical club3. It s:em3 as though that
organization should count among its
officers, or at least on tho board of man
agers, some ono west of the Mississippi.
All Nebraska would rejoice if soms
thing of that nat are could be offerel to
Mrs. D. A. Campbell, who is eminently
fitted for the position byherunUEual
executive ability, as well cs by her three
years practical experiecco whilo presi
dent of the Matinee Musicale; and her
boundless enthusiasm would surely
provo a sourco of inspiration in the
growth of the federation.
The mouthly meeting of the Deborah
Avery Chapter or the D. A. R. was held
at Mis. Morrison's, 1631 F street, on
January 7th. Mrs. Odell read a paper
on the histiry of the Massachus'tt's
Bay Colony between tho years 1623 1634.
At the next meeting with Mra. Winches
ter, 721 South 11th street, the paper
will be given by Mre. W. A. Rankins.
One of the most instructive features
of the work of the chapter, is the Round
table following tho pap;r, whin each
member contributes something in con
nection with the history under discussion.

I should marry into an old family.
