Mrs. J. T. Raglan complimented her
neice and guest, Miss Minnie Bishop
of Birmingham, Ala, with an enter
tainment al fresco Thursday evening
at her hosnitable home on Lee
street. The night, though tolerably
dark, was beautiful, as was the effect
produced by the presence of Japa-
nese lanterns and pretty girls, and it
was not hard to understand why the
crowd came away with the unanimous
verdict of "such a nice time"
Miss Lille Christie entertained
Wednesday evening at her home on
Main street in honor of her friend and
guest, Miss Annie Laurie Brown of
Fit. Gaines. Assisted by Misses Susie
Laing and Lou Ella Cannon, the

Japanese lanterns, which made the
scene of vivacious enjoyment an i'm
pressive one.

OMAHA A SUNDAY FAVoRiTE
Travelling NeB Find Many Attraction
Here on Their Day
of Rest.

Omaha is getting to be one OF the best
Sunday towns In the country" remarked
L. A.. Caddington at one OF the hotels last
night. 81 used to come here on Sundays
and would actually get lonesome because
there was no one around the hotels. There
were rooms to let in every hotel in the
city. Since ] have been sitting here to-
night three or four men have been turned
away because there were no rooms for
them. One Of the men said he had been
to two hotels before coming here. Omaha
is a good place for travelling men to spend
Sundays and you bet whenever we are in
reach Of the town. we always come in. The
art gallery Is one thing that attracts me.
I love art and every Sunday that I can
l come to Omaha, and IL you want to see
me in the afternoons. you will find me
right over at Lininger's. Others come for
the theaters and others because they like
the town and are well treated here"
b clerks at the different hotels bear
out Mr.. Caddington's statement. For sew
eral weeks all the hotels have had an un-
precedented run OF business. At one hotel

only about twenty-four hours, and | DO not
believe that even Vests most intimate
friends ever knew the real cause Of the
separation. Certainly he never told II and
l don't believe that she did either. Mr..
West then made a tour around the world
with George Primrose as his only partner.
On the steamer going over to Europe he
met and fell in love with the daughter Of
our minister to Turkey. I don't remember
her name. Later he married her and they
lived happily together until she died, which
was, I think. less than two years after they
were married. His third and last marriage
was to one OF the Hanley sisters, who for
many years had prominent parts In all Of
the Casino productions. l believe his last
wife survives him.
Manages Mcintyre & Heath.
"In 1887 Mr.. Thatcher and Mr.. West or
gained a minstrel company separate from
the one that bore their name, placing Mr..
Mcintyre and myself at It's head and calling
It the Mcintyre & Heath minstrels. We
toured the south and west and not only
made a great deal of money for ourselves,
but for our managers as we'll.
ut has never been my good fortune to do
business with a more honorable or upright
man than was Billy West. He was generous
to a degree. always ready and willing to
give literally to any worthy charity and
ever ready TO help a friend In need. He
was a shrewd business man and during his
lifetime accumulated a fortune which. I be-
lieve, will reach three-quarters OF a million
dollars or more. OF course, some OF this
he inherited from his second wife, who was
very wealthy, but the greater part Of II
was the direct result Of his own thrift and
business ability. He invested his first large
profits from the minstrel business In fats
and other properties in Chicago, and later
made extensive real estate purchases in
Philadelphia. New York and Brooklyn. His
home at Bensonhurst, . suburb Of New
York. cost close to 800, 900 and was. dur,
ing the summer season. the rendezvous of
many members of the profession who were
numbered amongst the innumerable friends
Of this whole-souled fellow. West was
prominent in Masonic circles. as we'll as
being a member OF the Brooklyn lodge OF
Elks. I considered him a man among men
and one Of whom too many good things
could not be said"
