BATTJKDAY The Uble d bote dinner and hop at the Field and Country clubs. Aside front tbe weddings lor of eoarse weddings are always considered a bo re and , apart from everything else society is look ing forward to little but out-of-door affairs this summer. The clubs, Manawa, such roads and streets where eutomoblllng la permitted, horseback riding, the track and the ball game, each and all promise to attract their share of devotees. The base ball season has opened especially promising for women and Thursday afternoon, ladles' day, found fully 00 women In the grand stand, all unmindful of tbe anything but pleasant day. y As for the Field and Country clubs, every body knows what to expect there, especially while the season Is new. The women are out in generous attendance. There ia to be a weekly tournament for the women at the Country club, the season opening last Wednesday. . Tbe game proved rather a disappointment, for the greens were not in the best condition and tha score ran higher than usual as a result. The boat races at Manawa present an specialty attractive feature, particularly to the , younger women. The regatta scheduled for June 23, to be participated in by the Manawa club and the Lotus club of St. Joseph, ia among the most antici pated events planned for the summer and promises to call out one of tbe largest fashionable gatherings. Most of the college folk will be back by that time, so, of course, enthusiasm and an altogether gay time is expected. In the meantime there will be a series of preliminary races between the PJcklnson and Stevens boats, the result of which will be watched with interest. Automoblllng promises to be a popular diversion among the fashionable this ium me and with few exceptions the families trhoss summer residences are In the vicinity of Omaha will use them as a means, of transportation to and from the city. The Indications are that horseback riding will be 'as popular as It was last year. There Is talk of tbe riding club being reorganised and that it will be supplemented by several from Fort Crook and the canters so much enjoyed last spring and fall will be resumed. But to go back to tbe weddings. There are to be plenty . of them next month. Several prominent families will figure and most of them will be Interesting if not Urge. In fact, there Is litUe talk of large church weddings, such as society has had during tbe last few seasons, and not a little of the1 speculation Is being directed to "who will be asked." . . There was tha usual week's end festivity at the Field and .Country clubs last even ing, tbe table d'hote dinners followed by the informal hop. The dinners were com paratively few at tha Country club.

The Northwestern passsnger department denies ths story printed In the local papers a few days ago to tbe effect that Emma Smith, a passenger on one of the trains of tha company, was put off by ths conductor and forced to walk a dlatanoe of ten miles, carrying a small child, on account of hav ing lost her Uokst A Northwestern offi cial In speaking of the matter said: "Ths story told by the woman here must be a pure fabrication, for the reason that no passenger Was put off of our train No. S last Saturday and no such tioket as the one described was sold on that date or any date near to a woman answering the de scription of Mrs. Smith. Ths ticket is al leged to havs read from Chicago to Bil lings, via Crawford. About ons week ago a woman with a S-year-old child got off of train No. 11- at Missouri Valley, where she was taken care of by the authorities and furnished transportation to Council Bluffa She ssid nothing to ths authorities about being put off of any trsln and nothing was mentioned of the matter until she got to Omaha, where she evidently told a story which was mads up of whols cloth."

W8VU U CLU3 U3 CH1BJTY. By far the most absorbing topic among club women Just now la the biennial con vention of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs, which opens Tuesday at St Louis. From all quarters oomes the announcement of the largest delegations ever sent and this, together with the prom ise of an exceptional program, bids f'Jr to maks the women who stay at home re gret It It Is not known definitely Just what the Nebraska delegation will num. ber. The women will not all go together and the largest party will leave Omaha Monday evening via the Burlington. This will Include the Omaha, Lincoln and some other women. The personnel of the party so far as known is: Mmes. F. H. Cole. L R. Andrew, Edward Johnson, George Til den, Charles Rosewater, H. S. Jaynea, 8 R. Towns, R. E. McKelvy and Draper Smith, all of whom with the exception of the last two will represent the Omaha Woman's club. Mra McKelvy la one of the state delegates. Mra Belle Stouten borough of Piatt mouth, Mra E. E. Mc Nlsh of Fremont Mmes. Starrett Cook, Rogers, Harpham of Lincoln, and Tile of Sioux City. Beialdes ths state federation, more of the Individual clubs than ever before will send representatlvea Unlike the two biennials that have preceded it the St Louis meeting will carry with It no particular Issue; that Is. unless some thing develops after tbe meeting has been called. It has been suggested by those who ought to know that ths Mormon ques tion might develop a troublesome side and still other fear that the advocates of ths General Federation's support of soms meas ure providing for a uniform divorce law may occasion trouble. So far as Is defin itely known the only thing that the women will be urged to concentrate upon during the next two years will be the report of the industrial committee in behalf of tbe working children. That the women of Ne braska are heartily In favor of any meas ure of this kind Is very wsll known. They are at present making an effort to secure a Juvenile court system that, with what they havs already secured In the way of a compulsory education law, should mean much to the children of the stats. It Is rumored that tbe Denver women will go to St Louis this week, 160 strong. and such a delegation, supplemented by the other club women of Colorado, will mean a formidable leavening influence If nothing more, and everybody knows that Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker Is a candidate this year for the presidency of the General Federation. Mrs. Decker's refusal of the presidency at Los Angeles two years ago. It Is said, has cost her, forever, the sup port of many who on that occasion and for four years previous had been her enthusi astic advocates, but even though that may be the case Mrs. Decker still has a host of friends sufficient to elect her. It is thought, if she wishes tbe office. Her opponents are beginning to point out that she Is a suf fragist a Colorado politician, but the women who know Mrs. Decker and who appreciate the value of a large experience combined with ability have no fears that she would Inject her personal convictions Into the policy of the General Federation if she was elected Its president And now, at the eleventh hour, there comes another name Into tbe list of presidential possibili ties, that of Mrs. Emma Fox of Detroit, who so ably served the General Federation as recording secretary during Mra Lowe's administration and who at the last biennial was elected second vice president because It was felt that the governing body of the federation could not spar the council of her who has served It so long and so well. Mrs. Fox is not announced a a candidate, but the fact that she is not makes her all the more formidable to those who know. So far her consideration is an on the quiet; it comes from Denver and California and from 6t Louis, not as of a candidate, but rather as ons against whose popularity their respective candidates must be forti fied. V At the recent national meeting of ' the Daughters of the Revolution, held -in Bos ton, ths following officers were elected: Prealdent general, Mra F. Adelaide Ingra ham. New York; vice presidents, Mrs. Ade line F. F1U of MassachusettsMrs. Adeline W. Sterling of New Jersey, Mrs. Nsttle Ed wards Caspar of Colorado and Mrs. Harriet L. W.

The Colonial Dames met. In biennial con vention last week at Wsshlngton, D. C, at the Arlington hotel, 17 delegates responding to roll call. The society Includes 5,464 mem bers. i.Ki of whom live In the colonial states. Only members of the society were admitted to the convention. The following extract from the report of tbe historian gives an Idsa of something that Is being accomplished by the society: The work now being carried on Includes) the marking of places of historical interest, the printing of valuable colonial records and the purchase of landmarks of hlstorlo Interest threatened with destruction.

PARIS, May ll-The Foreign office here Is without additional details of the wide spread devastation wrought by Turkish troops in the Sassoun district of Armenia. Tbe French press advices giving the num ber of killed as 100 on each side Is consid ered to be far short of showing ths magni tude of tbe affair. The burned villages occupied the most Inaccessible portion of the empire and offi cials hero say it will take eight days on horseback for the French, British and Rus sian consuls to complete their Journey to the scene of the destruction. Then It will take another eight dsys for tbe return, be sides sight or ten days spent In conducting the Investigations in the Sassoun district Therefore tbe Foreign office says it prob ably will be Impossible t'o obtain details before a month has elapsed. The scene of the destruction Is in a val ley surrounded by mountains. The Inhabi tants are marauding tribes which have constantly agitated against Turkey. The sultan, therefore, wished to exterminate this disorderly element but ' while not countenancing Armenian agitation the sig natories of the Berlin treaty have strongly disapproved of Turkey's methods in crush ing agitation. It Is the belief In official circles that the International Armenian committees will use the new outrages as a lever to Induce tho civilised powers to units In decisive action against Turkey. MATCH SETS BALLOON ON FIRE Blase Spreads to Bslldlngs aad at Least Twenty People Are IsJeresU (Copyright. 1904, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, May 14. (ISVw York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) The lighting of a match In a house caused tha remarka ble balloon accident here Thursday, meager particulars of which were cabled at the time. The flaming gas set Are to two houses and a score or' more of persons were scorched. It was ascension day of the members of the Aero club, and In the streets were thousands of persons watching the evolu tlons of a huge spherical balloon hovering over the city, waiting for the right oppor tunity to make a descent in a safe spot. About noon the balloon was over the Ave nue Daufesnil, a spacious thorougfare ad mirably adapted for a descent The aeronaut In charge of the machine seized the opportunity and the balloon dropped until the drag ropes trailed In among the spectators. A score or more men seized the ropes and tugged at them with might and main, but they were not equal to the task, and the baloon drifted on In the strong wind. Finally it settled immediately over a narrow little street, not more than an alley except in name. Again a crowd of men seized the ropes and, despite the frantic shouts of the aeronaut to let go, they held on and the balloon was dragged down. To save the machine the aeronaut began to deflate It and the gas filled the narrow street In a moment. Suddenly there was a flash' and the balloon sank down in the street In flames. Some one In one of the buildings between which It won dragged had struck a match and the gas was Ignited. The party of aeronauts had to Jump out of the basket to save themselves. The bouses on each side caught fire and before the flames could be extinguished at least twenty persons were Injured.

That was a remarkable scene at the St. Lnzarre rail way station yesterday that ended In a rapturous hug and kiss on the part of a young man and an American girl. Jist as the train for Cherbourg was pulling out the young man ran up to the last car, at the door of a compartment of which stood the girl, stylishly gowned, her face wreathed In smllea "Won't you say goodbye to me?" cried the young man. "Gladly, my boy," replied the girl In shrill soprnno. She held her hand out of the open win dow and the man grasped it as he ran alongside of the moving train. With a powerful grip he pulled her out on the platform and they rolled over two or three times. The girl got up In tears and In dignation. Then she got a look at the swain and saw something in his eyes. "Why, Pick, you love me," she exclaimed gleefully, and she tumbled into his arms with all the emphasis in her. That ended the episode, so far as the public was con cerned, for the twain disappeared In a waiting carriage, and there Is reason to believe that, there will soon be work for a parson In their behalf. . The girl is said to be one of Chicago's fairest TOLSTOY PRAISES GARRISON Writes Preface to History of Life f the Famous Aboli tionist. i (Copyright. 1904. by Press Publishing Co.) LONDOJf. May 14.-(New York Wrorld Cablegram Special Telegram.) A life of William Lloyd Garrison, the famous aboli tionist, has been written by the noted Rus sian philosopher, W. M. Teherkoff, and will soon see the light In English. Leo Ttlstoy has written a remarkable preface to the work, because, as he says, Garrison was the first to discover the truth. He adds that Garrison denied to society the right to compel a r.-.nn to perform any act by violent means, and that the opposi tion to Garrison's Ideas was really the cause of the civil war. According to Tolstoy, this question has remained un solved, and ' it now faces the American people anew with the frequent recurrence of lynchlngs. He considers Garrison one of the greatest actors and promoters to human progress. SHORT SHIFT FOR MARRIAGE Lady Constance Maekenila and Her Hasband Have Only Month's Acquaintance.
