The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1900-01-06

The whole affair was a delightful little
farce and needless 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 we're Ires-
emit: Mrs. John s. Briggs of Omaha,
formerly lady commissioner for the
Worlds Fair; Miss Francis Briggs of
Omaha. and Mr.. and Mrs. s. r. Rush,
Of Omaha. Mrs. Sawyer was assisted
by Mesdaues 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,l
to take the general management of the
play she gave in her owr 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 for one night for
four hundred dollars. Mrs. Gould act
ed the part of social adventures and
her graceful motions and elegant die
ton revived memories of her first sue
Gees in THE Merry Wives of Windsor
under Mr.. Days management. To
entertain more than one hundred per-
sons for twelve hours and to keep them
contented might almost be classed
among the extra labors of Hercules.
This is what Mrs:Gould had to try to
do. Her New York guests left Jersey
City in special cars at 800 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 they met for dinner
Mr.. Gould explained that Mrs. Gould
was 30 nervous about her temperance
on the etage that she was unable to
meet her guests at the table. But the
theatricals were great success. 1t is q
little curious that Mrs. Gould should
have chosen to enter society from the
stage. Having made up her mind che
made triumphant entry and there is
nothing to prevent her from occupying
q proud place in New YORK society ex-
cept the memory of her father in law
against whom, though dead, there is
still 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 Calm and
Mr.. Sam Vessel 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 we're: Misses Sorenson
Of Sacramento, Pollock of Omaha, MAY
of Des Moines, Calm of PUEBLO and Mrs.
Aach Of Burr Oak, Kansas. Messrs.
Harris Of Omaha, Sarbach of HoIton.

The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1900-01-06

The event Of the week was the recep-
ton given by Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Sawyer
on New Years night. Mr.snd Mrs.Ssw-
yer gave their first New Years 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 we're present
last Monday night to lietsn to the fol-
lowing program:
Piano solo-Mrs. Wurzburg.
Address-The Closing Century, Hon.
orable G. Il. Gere.
Vocal 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 Ut the subjects
chosen were as follows: wireless Te.
legraphy," Evolution" "Steam Inven-
tors" Germ Theory" and "The Legacy
which this Century leaves U.s." Mr..
Sawyer read 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 (Virginis) Herald one hundred years
ago and last week in The Conservative.
and reads as follows:
Princess Anne, Dec, Is, 1898.
Mess. Willett & O'Connor.
Sirs: l am q poor widow woman,
whose great uncle by her fathers son
died lately, and by his will he hath left
me legacy Of 6 100. to be paid me in
the 10Th century that is. he ssye:
Item. give to my niece; Deborah
Violet. e 100, to be paid to her in the
10Th century," Now. sirs, as 1 am a
poor woman, and am told you have a
great many law gentlemen in Norfolk.
yon will render great service il you
will get their opinion when, and at what
time, ] have really 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 huge joke and printed a let
ter to her in mock seriousness. He
started out: Dear Madam: Having q
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, proceed to offer you the best.
which it is in my power to bestow."
He assured bis sweet violet" that she
had applied to the wrong source that
lawyers skill consisted in knowing how
to procure delay and that she must sue
for her money. He advises her to plead
her own cause as no eloquence is 80
eloquent as that which falls from female
lips. He then puts forward an argu.
ment and ends by ga, ing, But, if there
be smonst them any man Of q sound
understanding and clear conscience
he will remain locked up till he has
gnawed of his hants. before he will
give a verdict against you'."
Mr.. Saver proposed that they should
try the case and chose at random, Mr..
w. B. Lamb and Mr.. F. N. Hall on the
affirmative and Mr.. II. Il. Wilson and
Judge Tibbetts on the negative side.
Mr.. E. E. Brown, Judge Pound and
Mrs. Ricketts, we're chosen ss judges.

rArrooED WITH PORTRAITS.
Many Soldiers Have Portraits of
Their swsethearts Pricksd
Into Their Backs.

The American soldfers leaving San
Francisco for the Philippines are re-
sponsible for an entirely new lovers

They have the portraits of their sweet
hearts skillfully tattooed upon their
backs. "Prof." Jake Londella is the

customers. Says he, regarding his pc
culiar mission:
During the war tattooed many
soldiers photo upon his sweetheaft's
arm, and the soldier often had her
picture or name written by herself re-
produced upon his breast. Many Brit
ish soldiers have had the portraits Of
their wives or sweethearts tatfooed on
the back before going to South Africa.
1t is fad with the officers especially.

two girls tattooed upon his breast

had thought it wise to order a third
brigade from India. in readiness for
possible emergencies. The cabinet, Mr..
Brodrick said, was completely. unanf-
mously against a partition of China,
which would be fraught with infinite
danger and the government had no rea-
son to believe they Were at variance
with any OF the European powers in
tina respect. Further. the government
would do nothing to set " anything
but a Chinese administration in China
The government has not in contem-
plation the idea of meeting h Chinese
army under foreign officers What
form the indemnity we should take must
be left for future consideration Mr..
Brodrick thought II was a time when
the less said the better. Great changes
might result rom the recent calami-
tous events. but he, hoped the European
powers would discover some foundation
on which to build UP a Chinese govern
ment which would ensure csvilizing
rule to a population forming one-third

ENGLAND'S POSITION
Energetic Movements on Pekin-No
Dismemberment of Chinese Empire

London, August 2~.-Replying to a
question in the house of to-
day the parliamentary secretary for
the foreign office, Mr.. Brodrick, said
a report reached the admiralty Tues
day, July 31st from Rear Admiral
Bruce, stating that although Rear Ad-
miral Kempff, of the United States
navy, attended the council OF admirals
before the attack on Taku, he was I'M
able to take any action because he had
received no authorization from Wash
fngtOn to do so.
Replying to a query by Sir Ellis
Ashmead Bartlett as to whether the
forces of Great Britain and Japan
were prepared to advance in strength
on Pekin, and as to who is command
ing the allies, Mr. Brodrick said he
hadano fresh information to commune
cate. Later in the session Mr.. Brodrick
said that although the large forces
were now at Ten Tsin they were not
yet fully armed and equipped. AS far
as he was able to judge at present,
there was no lack of cooperation
among commanders, and no avoidable
delay.
The government he said. would press
onward by every means in their pow
er to the relief of the legations. In
the Yang Use sphere British ships and
forces would assist the viceroys, but
must limit their undertakings to the
defence Of Shanghai. The government
