The event of the week was the recep
tion given by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Sawyer
on New Year's night. Mr.and Mrs.Saw
ypr gave their first New Year's reception
in 1891. Each year since then the same
guests, with an occasional addition
have welcomed the New Year with Mr
and Mrs. Sawyer with music, literary
programs and responses. The Virginia
reel has always closed the evening.
About seventy-five gueets were present
last Monday night to listen to the fol
lowing program:
Piano boIo Mrs. Wurzburg.
Address The Closing Century, Hon
orable C. H. Gere.
Vocal solo Minstrel Boy, Shelley, Mr.
Movius.
Poem Mr. Bixby.
Vocal solo Sleeping World, Dudley
Buck, Mrs. Ward.
Each guest was called upon to re
spond to the subject "Important Events
of the Century." Some of the subjects
chosen were as follows: "Wireless Te
legraphy," 'Evolution," "Steam Inven
tors," ''Germ Theory" and "The Legacy
which this Century leaves Us." Mr.
Sawyer read a letter written one hun
dred years ago upon the much discussed
subject of when the new century" shall
begin. The letter appeared in the Nor
folk (Virginia) Herald one hundred years
ago and last week in The Conservative,
and reads as follows:
Princess Anne, Dec, 18, 1798.
Mess. Willett & O'Connor.
Sirs: I am a poor widow woman,
whose great uncle by her father's son
died lately, and by his will he hath left
me a legacy of 100, to be paid me in
the 19th century that is, he says:
"Item, I give to my niece; Deborah
Violet, 100, to be paid to her in the
19th century." Now, sirs, as I am a
poor woman, and I am told you have .a
great many law gentlemen in Norfolk,
yon will render a great service if you
will get their opinion when, and at what
time, I have really a right to demand
the same. In so doing you will oblige,
Yours at Command,
Deborah Violet.
Mr. William Cobbett, author of the
famous "Porcupine Papers," treated the
letter as a huge joke and printed a let
ter to her in mock seriousness. He
started out: Dear Madam: Having a
singular affection for widows of the
violet race (especially those who are in
full bloom) and observing you in some
little distress for advice, you will not be
surprised, that, without further cere
mony, I proceed to offer you the best,
which it is in my power to bestow."
He assured his "sweet violet" that she
had applied to the wrong source that
lawyers' skill consisted in knowing how
to procure delay and that stie must bub
for her money. He advises her to plead
her own cause as no eloquence is so
eloquent as that which falls from female
lips. He then puts forward an argu
ment and ends by easing, "But, if there
be amonst them any man of a sound
understanding and a clear conscience
he will remain locked up 'till he baa
gnawed off his ham's, before he will
give a verdict against you'."
Mr. Sawer proposed that they should
try the case and chose at random, Mr.
W. B. Lamb and Mr. F. M. Hall on the
affirmative and Mr. H. H. Wilson and
Judge Tibbetts on the negative Bide.
Mr. E. E. Brown, Judge .round and
Mrs. Bicketta were chosen as judges.
The whole affair was a delightful little
farce and needlees to say the decision
rendered was in favor of the widow.
After refreshments were served the
guests danced the Virginia reel. Mr.
and Mrs. Wurzburg and Mr. Bixby
furnished music for the dance. The
following out of town guests were pres
ent: Mrs. John S. Briggs of Omaha,
formerly lady commissioner for the
World's Fair; Miss Francis Briggs of
Omaha, and Mr. and Mrs. S. It. Rush,
of Omaha. Mrs. Sawyer waB assisted
by Mesdacies Field, Ricketts, Wilson,
Hall and Hartley.
Mr. Boyd Putnam who is a cousin of
Mrs. Putnam of this city was selected
by Mrs. George Gould (born Kingdon,)
to take the general management of the
play she gave in her own little theatre.
Mr. Putnam has been with Mr. Crane
but just at this season was out of an
engagement and when he received Mrs.
Gould's note inviting him to be her
leading man he accepted the position
and the responsibility tor one night for
four hundred dollars. Mrs. Gould act
ed the part of a social adventures3 and
her graceful motions and elegant dic
tion revived memories of her first suc
cess in "The Merry Wives of Windsor"
under Mr. Daly's management. To
entertain more than one hundred per
sons for twelve hours and to keep thorn
contented might almost be classed
among the extra labors of Hercules.
This is what Mr&TGould had to try to
do. Her New York guests left Jersey
City in special cars at 3:20 P. M. When
they reached Lakewood they found
carriages waiting for them and were
driven to the Hotel Laurel in the Pines,
where all the guests had a room and
private bath to himself, to herself or to
themselves. When tbey met for dinner
Mr. Gould explained that Mrs. Gould
was so nervous about her reappearance
on the etage that she was unable to
meet her guests at the table. But the
theatricals were a great success. It is a
little curious that Mrs. Gould should
have chosen to enter society from the
stage. Having made up her mind ebe
made a triumphant entry and there is
nothing to prevent her from occupying
a proud place in New York society ex
cept the memory of her father in law
against whom, though dead, there is
still a strong prejudice.
Mr. William Jennings Bryan has re
turned to the city after a visit in the
south where he hunted a tame panther
and narrowly missed an ostrich-back
ride. His hunting trip did him good.
He is in excellent condition.
The younger members of the Unity
Club entertained for the older members
on Monday night at Walsh Hall. The
first part of the evening was spent in
playing cards. Miss Rose Cahn and
Mr. Sam Weasel took the royal prizes.
Long tables were laid in the dining
room and supper was served before the
dancing. The tables were beautifully
decorated with candles and holly.
Those present were: Misses Sorenson
of Sacremento, Pollock of Omaha, May
of Dot Moines, Cahn of Pubelo and Mrs.
Aach of Burr Oak, Kansas. Messrs.
Harris of Omaha, Sarbach of Holton,
Kassas, Justin Sarbach of Fairbury,
Heymorof St. Louis, Meyer of Hol
dredge, Frankcnburg of Charleston and
Simon of Washington, Kansas. Me:srs
