The Invasion of Omaha by the commer
cial lawyers has been responsible for one
of the greatest revivals of society matters
ever seen In midsummer. That the coming
of these barristers could have aroused so
ciety from the lethargy Into which It had
declined Is no less a compliment to the
Omahans who assisted In their entertain
ment than It Is to tholr guests. Were it not
for n dislike of superlative terms one might
Bay that the attorneys and their relatives
nnd friends who have so recently been the
guests of Omaha were the best entertained
visitors who have ever set foot within the
city's gates. To those who arranged the
inoro Important functions of the week therfl
jiiust tome a feeling of satisfaction at the
expressions of delight that still continue
.to como from the visitors. To the o who
upheld the honor of Omaha by entertain
ing the guests In ways less elaborate It
jnuat bo a pleasure to recall the pleasant
events of the week , the friendships formed
and the fart that society generally stood
up for Omaha.
The entertainment of the lawyers started
In a Jovial manner on Monday evening ,
' when the visitors were Allowed to wander
through the labyrinths of the mysterious
den of that nohlo , If not ancient , order , the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Hcn. To have the honor
of membership In such a worthy organiza
tion conferred upon them was a distinction
that the lawyers greatly appreciated.
The bicycle run to Florence on Tuesday
evening was nnoihcr enjoyable event. It
was a complete diversion from the other
forms of entertainment that were provided
during the we'ek , nnd wns marred only by
the vulgar olllclousncss of the marshal of
that llttlo town. The banquet that nwaltcd
the cyclers at the north end of the run
was perfect In Its appointments , and was
refreshing to a degree that can be fully ap
preciated only by wheelmen who have them-
tfselvcs experienced the thirsty nnd wearied
feeling that follows a hard run. AVhlle the
visitors who were Inclined toward athletic
exercises were enjoying the ride to Florence
and back on their wheels some of their fel
lows were Indulging In another form of
exercise at Crclghton hall. The ball that
followed the literary and musical entertain
ment on Tuesday evening was a grand
affair. While the temperature was such ns
to make successive dances wearisome , every
one seemed to have an enjoyable time. The
lawyers , especially those who were single ,
or who said they were , there formed many
acquaintances that grew into friendships
before the close ot the convention came
along. Some of the friendships formed
during the week nro known to bo exceed
ingly strong , but whether any Omaha girls
will bo called upon to preside at the head
of eastern attorneys' tables cannot be fore
told at this Interesting juncture.
The elaborate reception given by Hon.
George W. Llnlnger and Mrs. Llnlngor to
the visitors on Wednesday evening was the
most brilliant occasion the devotees of local
society hnvo had the pleasure to enjoy for a
long time. Heyoml all doubt It was one ot
the red-letter events of Omaha society , and
those who were fortunate enough to attend
will not soon forget the perfect appoint
ments that inadu tlio happiness of every
guest possible. The decorations were
iiuperb , and no house or lawn in this city
ever looked moro fascinating.
The banquet at the Mlllard on Thursday
evening concluded the week's festivities so
far ns the legal visitors were concerned ,
for by Friday evening most of them had
gone out from the" city which had proved
to bo such a gracious host. The banquet
was a splendid affair , possibly more orderly
than is usually the case , but no more so
than Is right and proper. The uresenca
of many society women of tills cltv lent
nn additional charm to the occasion and
increased the pleasure of the banqueters.
The toast list was admirably arranged and
the pest-prandial exercises were no less enJoyed -
Joyed than the good things which had pre
ceded them.
While the visitors very properly praised
the hospitality of the Omahans who had
made their stay such a delightful series of
brilliant events they were not the only ones
who were thankful for the week's festivi
ties. The society folk who were in town
during the week , and who had become
almost complete victims of ennui , were
themselves pleased to welcome the list of
entertainments that brightened up the social
calendar of the city nnd to have an oppor
tunity to extend their acquaintances among
n delightful set of visitors. The society
events of the week , occasioned by the
gathering of 200 lawyers , gives ouo some
slight idea ot whnt wo may expect in a
social way during the exposition year , when
Omaha will bo busy from May until No
vember entertaining delegation after dele
gation of distinguished Americans and for-
tlsners.
Many Mourn Her Uciitli.
More than one circle of local nociety had
a deep gloom thrown over It during the
week by the untimely death of Miss Nellie
Arnold North , Many regrets were sent to
the week's social events by saddened friends ,
nnd among the young folks generally there
was a feeling ot deep sorrow. Miss North
had been educated at Wells college , Aurora ,
N. Y. , and before going there had resided
at Columbus. Since her graduation a year
ago she had lived in thin city , but with
rare filial love had remained close to her
home , devoting her life to her father. lie-
cause of her mother's death and because of
her Intense ) love for her homo she had been
Been but rarely in local society. It was
only within the last two months that nho
attended any local social events , and then
only for the sake of a schoolmate , who
was her guest. For thcso reasons those
hero who knew Miss North well were not
numerous. Those who did enjoy nn inti
mate acquaintance with her knew her to bo
a beautiful , Intellectual nnd attractive young
woman , and they looked forward with great
pleasure to the delight of being associated
with her during the social season of the
coming fall and winter. In almost every
homo in und about Columbus she was
known and beloved , At Wells college hhe
was exceedingly popular , and during
her course there lind by the
.tenderness anl sweetness of her character
made a host of friends for herself. Her
friends who mourn her loss are Joined by
tho.se who had anticipated thu budding forth
of one ft thu fairest llowcis of Omaha's best
society.
Though her life seemed untimely short
ened , her llfo work had n beautiful com
pleteness in iUclf alone. The sad death ot
her mother , from which she never recovered ,
added a retiring , gentle nature to her char
acter so seldom seen lu a girl of her years ,
no often sought after in vain by thosu who
ml in I ro and love a woman for her soul aloue.
It is a sad fact that her one deep sorrow
robbed lifo of all Us charms for nor , and
she yearned to Join her mother , yet eho
saw nnd followed her path ot duty by the
side of her father in thu homo , She made
it her task to fill the place seemingly left
BO empty , to muko the homo for him what
It used to bo. She lived not In herself nor
for herself , but for her father , lly her
faithful devotion she strove to heal the
wound of his broken spirit and bring back
to. his shadowed heart a bit ot the banished
sunshine , '
To the pure of heart , to the chaste of
soul , to the beautiful of character , death
romi's , not as a thing of dread and horror ,
but as a welcome guiding angel in whoso
arms a wearied , saddened spirit finds a
haven of rest and happiness , nnd so the
dark-winged angel found Nellie North ,
ready , willing and waiting , Now that she
has gone , let her Immortal example ot filial
dovotlon go home to our young women that
they may he , as she was , a comfort and
blessing to those of their own fireside go
home to our young men , that they may
ceok the society of women such as she , that
Uielr Urea way bo made more chaste , their
thoughts tnoro pure , that the little world
of our own may bo made mor perfect , more
near that which our mothers prayed It
might be , a world with less self , moro full
of others , n world forgetful ot wrongs , re
mindful of kindnesses ,

Last Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 : o'clock
Alvln Edward Patten nnd Miss Cora Es-
tclla Knapp were united In the holy bonds ot
matrimony at the residence of the bride's
mother , 2019 Caas street , Bright skies ,
beautiful surroundings and the smiles and
greetings ot many friends accompanied the
young couple to the threshold ot their now
life. *
The home of the brldo had been prettily
adorned for the marriage ceremony with
fresh flowers and other decorations. When
the hour arrived the marriage processional
passed Into a veritable bower of beauty to
the accompaniment of the music of a bridal
march , played by Mis' ? Hello Knapp. The
bridesmaids , Misses Itlco nnd Phillips , led
the march , but at the threshold they al
lowed the ribbon boys , Masters Clarence
Patten nnd Arthur Knapp , to enjer , fol
lowed by the groom nnd bride , the maid
of honor , Miss Florence Patten , nnd the
groom's boat man , Mr. Kdward Knapp. The
marrlago ceremony was performed by Ilov.
Wore.
The brldo wns arrayed In a beautiful costume -
tumo of pure white silk , ndorned with white
rosrs. The tun Ida were also gowned In
white silken costumes. The llttlo ribbon
boys were nttlred In white.
The orange blossoms nnd roses , the white ,
flowing veil ; ) nnd beautiful costumes of a
wedding do not usually appeal to a news
paper man. They furnish a whole that he
dreads as an "assignment" except once In
a lifetime. That exception occurs when
Cupid seizes the editor's blue pencil and
marks the newspaper man's naino upon his
great assignment book. Then ho handles
his "assignment" with the grace with which
Mr. Patten did.
Al Patten Is the son ot Dr. and Mrs. S.
It , Patten of this city and Is n newspaper
man. He entered the profession some years
ago In this city , when he waa connected
with the loc.xl papers. Some time ago ho
removed to Fremont to take charge of a
Journal of that town and ho Is now occupy
ing Its city editor's chair.
Mr. and Mrs. Patten will mnke their future
home In Fremont nud have nlrcady removed
to the pretty little town. They carry with
them the well wishes not only of the news
paper fraternity , but of n host ot friends
besides , as wns shown by the many beautiful

LONDON. Eng , , July 10. ( Special Corre
spondence of The Bee , ) When Byron wrote
his oft quoted lines to the sen ho was
probably on land or else ho had quite
recovered from the uncomfortable ,
madhouse sort of a feeling which It In
spires In most of us nnd which la qulto
different from the "fine frenzy" of the poet.
Nevertheless , were it only for the sense of
space it gives ono must love the sea. At
night when there Is nothing but It and the
starllghted sky ono ran but bo moved to
nn uplifting recognition of the vnstncss of
the universe.
If the sea does this for nature" , the people
ple on board , who represent twenty-two
nationalities , do much the same for hu
manity by showing how varied It Is.
Hero wo nre , all with different ideas ,
hopes , habits , aspirations , nnd yet for this
week , shut nwny from communication with
nil the rest of the world , wo nro perforce
very good friends. This quickly formed In-
tlinncy , with people so different from those 1
hnvo known , is so novel that at first I think
I should never weary of llfo on the steamer.
Thcso human documents are all so Interest
ing ; the exiled Armenian , who cannot forget
his suffering countrymen and has a fiery
argument with the Russian linguist , who
reasons about the whole affnlr with the
sang-froid ot nn Impartial bystander ; the
Spaniard , who shows the picture of ills
beautiful fiancee and rhapsodizes over love
and the courage , the heroism nnd the faith
which it inspires in n manner fascinatingly
Incomprehensible to an American ; the
charming Swiss widow , whoso desperate
flirtation with a young Englishman is the
all-absorbing topic of our gossip ; the young
Peruvian , who has seen and felt nnd done
so much nnd is so absolutely Inciting in
respect for the tilings other men reverence
that oven the boon companions who drink
and smoke nnd play poker with him pro
nounce him a dlnblc , and who wltlml looks
so boyish and wistful that wo only pity him
as he gives his dally greeting "Bon Jour ,
Mlllo , on s'ennule , n'estcepas ? "
And U Is true. After the novelty has
worn off , after the sky and water hnvo shown
every shade nnd light of which they are
capable , "On s'ennule. " Even the usual
concert , nt which tl * Inevitable young girl
going abrond to study music Is rapturously
applauded and nt which twenty ambitious
amateurs bore the rest of us who know
wu could do better if wo only half tried ,
does llttlo for the widows nnd orphans of
sailors lost at sen.
The "Paris" which wo had taken because
of Its record as a fast boat has a disabled
engine nnd keeps Sis on the desolate waste
of water two days longer than wo had ex
pected , which makes our Joy at sight of
land all the greater. The Scylla Islands ,
indeed , ns one sees them from a passing
steamer , seem cold and cruel enough , but
they nre land and their Jagged outlines rest
the eyes weary of the calm monotony of an
unbroken horizon line and next morning
we are sailing by a country , the peaceful
green of which Is Itself a welcome. The
pilot has come on during the night nnd the
thrill of horror with which wo learn of the
loss of the Drummond Castle refines our Joy
to an unspoken prayer of thanks.
This with the pathos of the parting from
the ship companions whom wo nhall proba
bly never again see tempers the gladness
of landing , but having said "goodbye" and
passed the formality ot the customs house
we forgtt everybody In the eager curiosity
with which we regard everything.
Southampton , where the American heats
land us. Is to nn American girl , used to a
very now western town , full of delightful
surprises. Its crooked old streets , through
which the crusaders under Richard Coetirde
Lion marched , its quaint old houses , bright
ened always by the brilliance of the old-
fnshloned flowers which are blooming every
where , its beautiful avenue of great trees
which look as though the wind had never
come near them , so symmetrical are they ,
all forcibly remind us that though in the
Old World It is very new to us. Yet It is
an old world nnd the old stories , which wo
learned ns history and which have Eecmed
as baseless as the fabric ot a dream , begin
to seem real as we see tlio places where
they actually took place. As wo look out
on Southampton water wo remember that it
was hero Canute , the Dane , gave the famous
rebuke to big flattering courtiers , that from
hero the armies of Edward III and Henry
V left for the Invasion of Franco and that
kings and queens have lived here. Next day
as we go through the New Forest on top of
a coach and listen to the dry quips and jokes
of our Pickwickian coachman when ho tells
of the death of Rufus and points to the spot
where ho fell in 1100 , or shows us the Oliver
Cromwell tree , or directs us to the Lynhurst
church , where the crumbling stones In the
old churchyard , erected In loving memory
of the dead , are inscribed with dates of so
long ngo that we know none can now re
member them or sorrow over them ; wo realize -
alizo moro and moro that In the making of
a pcoplo a thousand yours are as a day and
that tlio individual is nothing , tlio race all.
Wo feel this moro when we pluck buttercups
nnd daisies growing gaily In the ruins of
an old Cistercian monastery , founded at Net-
tley by Henry III In the thirteenth century.
With Hawthorne , wo nro glad that our own
dear country has no ruins , yet outlined
against the background of blue sky and
stately trees these crumbling arches and
pillars covered with close-clinging ivy are
marvelously beautiful.
Though London , the great , throbbing , rest
less heart of this great England , Is waiting
for us wo cannot resist the old towns be
tween It and Southampton. At Winchester ,
the nnclent capital ot tlio Snxon kingdom of
Wessex , we see the Judge of the Assizes as
ho rides In state , preceded by a mounted
guard and later wo sit lu his chair In the
ancient hall , where they show us Merlin's
painting of King Arthur and his knlghtw
nnd where wo coax the woman who opens
the doors for us to give us ono of tlio Judge's
quill pens nnd some of Ills formidably look
ing blue paper , Winchester , Wells , Sails
bury , Glnstonbury and then many spired
Oxford , which , truly , "It Is a despair to BCO
and over to leave , " Wo are Just too Into
for the exercises of Commemoration week
but the town is still full of students and wo
sco the gowns and cups everywhere some
of them , I observe , nre qulto disreputably
shabby. Hero wo roam pensively through
tlio beautiful Bhaded lane known as Addl-
son's walk in the grounds of Magdalen ; we
attend gcrvlco at the old chapel of Christ
coilego , wo climb thu steps leading to the
dome of the Sheldonlan for the flue vluw of
the town which It gives ; wo think of Walter
Pater as wo walk by lirascnoso and as we
laugh over an absurd caricature of "Marius ,
the Epicurean , " we grow solemn as wo look
at the "Martyr's Memorial , " which tells us
that men have lived nnd died for their
faith , and then In sheer discouragement we
leave the beautiful old university town and
"eager hearted us a boy when first ho leaves
his father's fields" wo go to London ,
Great , mighty , noisy'London , with Its rnt-

Its many queer , wizened specimens of hu

At Lord's , whcro the great cricket civnu
of the year boUVe'en Iho Oxford nnd Cam
brldgo trams takes place , we had nn excel *
lent opportunity to sco everybody nnd hli-
wlfo or sweetheart. The women sat ther <
for six hours on hard boards In dresses o
such brilliant hurs and flimsy textures tha
wo would think they were suitable only fet
the ball room. Most of these women havf-
brilliant complexion * , nnd marvelous hair ,
but they lack the alertness , the "nwaki
ness , " the "allvenesa" which make the facfn
of our American women beautiful. It m y
bo jingoism , but I cannot help thinking th.xt
as compared with Americans , both the men
and women look rather heavy , n llttlo stupid
In fact they lack the llttlo quicksilver In
the blood which differentiates the American
from the Englishman.
Last night nt the Hoynl Opera house ,
where wo hoard Jenn and Kdwnrd do Hrszka
nnd Mndnm Albnnl In "Tristan and Isolde , "
wo learned that many of the women had
beautiful shoulders , for they \vcr
nil In full dress , nnd na wo gnzcd over the
house the flesh tints predominated. Are you
too democratic to be told that the duke and
duchess of Teck and suite occupied the royal
box ?
As wo rldo through the streets and BOO the
many mouumrntH erected to honor the sol
diers who are England's glory , or as we read
the many Inscriptions In Westminster Ab
bey , the British Walhalla , It Is easy to un
derstand why of the men of England many
nro good soldiers. From tholr mere babyhood
they brentho an atmosphere of worship and
reverence of the men who have fought for
old Knglnnd. In Saint Paul's , two shabby ,
forlorn little street boys snld to mo , "Please ,
lady , can you show us Nelson's monument ? "
I took them to It nnd they stood before It
In mute ndorntlon of the heroism for which
it stood. Small wonder , that with great and ) <
daring deeds embalmed in stone always before -
fore them , they go willingly to strnngo and
distant lands and do things which make all
the world wonder.
Though truly dying for their country
must bo quite ns pleasant and easy , In A
wny , ns living In it If the nccldcnt of birth
has placed them In Whlteclmpel the horror
ror nnd hcnrt-slckenlng pity which the
Bwurm ot men , women nml children aroused
ns massed together they filled the narrow ,
black lanes nnd nlloya , ot which wo caught
glimpses ns wo rode by. Is still too recent
nnd real for mo to npoak much of it. The
saddest part of It to mo is that there nro
so many children In these ugly , blnck
places. Bcnutlful baby faces , pure and sweet
as Mowers , wo saw , and yet wo know that
these same wistful great-eyed fncos will
harden until they , too , nro bold , defiant or
sullen as these of the men nnd women whom
wo pass hero. What n dlfforcnco between
them and the gaily drcsseil throng wo saw
at the cricket game. Yet their rnpnelty for
Joy is ns grent , only that denied legitimate
satisfaction it ndmlts temptation. Surely
the scliemo of the universe is not so cruel
that it limits tholr opportunities to those
which they have here. Sometime , some
where , they , too , will bo given n chance.
