Debate on Mr. Wilson's Bill Sub jecting Imported Liquors to the Iys oftlie States. Mr. Hoai Argues that Power Lay3 with Congress to Remedy the Con dition Presented, Senator Edmunds Believes in the Authority of Local Legislation Mr. Vest Ex plains the Chaotic Condition Like ly If Interstate Commerce May be Prohibited-Sugar Schedules of the Tariff Bill Unchanged. "WAsniXGTOK, May 20. Mr. Stanford in troduced a bill for loans on lands and said that he would hereafter address the senate on tho subject. The senate then proceeded to consider the bill referred from the judiciary com mittee, subjecting imported liquors to the provisions of the laws of the several states. Mr. "Wilson, of Iowa, who had intro duced tho bill in the first instance, and had afterwards reported it back, addressed the Benate in explanation and advocacy of it, stating that it was made necessary by the recent decision of the supreme court on that subject. It was a response to the suggestion contained in that decision that congress couid permit the exercise of the restrain ing nower of a state and it was for the pur EQ'e of giving that permission that the bill ad been introduced and reported. The effect of it would be to leave each state in the union to determino for itself what its policy should be in regard to the traffic in intoxicating liquors. Under that decision of the supreme court the state of Iowa could not prevent the citizens of other btatcs or the subjects of Great Britain, Prance or Germany from sending intoxi cating liquors into the state of Iowa and having tliem sold there in the original packages by agents. At the present time original package saloons were organized in his stcto. The packages might be a pint or a half pint of whisky or a keg or a bot tle of beer. It was to put a stop to such practice and to recognize in every state the pow er to regulate its own internal policy that the bill was reported. Mr. Vest said that as a member of the judiciary committee he had not been able to agree with the majorit y in reporting the bill because it would sween away the ex clusive jurisdiction of the United States over interstate commerce. Mr. lngalls and Mr. Edmunds called for the reading of the minority report (and it was read), dissenting from the views of the majority, signed by Messrs. Wilson of Iowa, lngalls, Edmunds and Hoar. Tho minority report had been accompanied by a bill to provide that payment of any im post or excise law should not exempt the importer of an article from liability to the laws of the state. Mr. Vest resumed his argument against the pending bill. The real question, he Euid, was whether congress could delegate a power vested in it by the constitution to any state, or to any number of states. He believed it could not. Missouri would shut out one article of interstate commerce. Kansas another, Iowa another and South Carolina and so on until there would be chaos from one end of the union to the other. At 2 o'clock the silver bill came up as unfinished business and Mr. Allison moved that it be laid aside informally in order to continue the consideration of the measure under discussion. The motion was agreed to and the consideration of the bill as to imported liquors was proceeded with. Mr. Vest resumed his argument against it. He would, ho said, state what was the overwhelming consideration with him. If this bill were passed It would open Tip opportunities for a buccessive series of such bills, just as the emergencies or opinion of different states might call for that sort of legislation. The senate was now asked to enter tho do main of the interstate commerce, vested ext lusively in congress and to make an ex ception as to alcoholic liquors, which the supreme court had decided to be as much an article of commerce as any other mer chandise. How long would it be, he asked, until another demand was made upon con-giv-.- to give permission to all the states to exclude something else, tobacco, for instance. Ho asked senators to pause be fore they threw that question into the arena of congressional debate. Mr McPheron asked Mr. Vest whether the right to import au article implied the right to sell. Air. Vest replied in the nffimative and quoted from the decision of Mr. Justice M ttUevs of the supreme court in the caso of Ward against Maryland to that etlect. Mi Hoar argued in favor of the bill. If tin u.ll were not within the legislative pow- j er of congress than there was no move mis-1 erable nation on the lace of the earth than j the United States. Unless what was pur- j posed in this bill could be done, it would fie the law in the United States for aU fu- tmv lime that anv person living in another state or in a foreign country could send intic..ting liquors into any state and diP'e of it there through his agents and tl'M it should not be competent for any B. Ho autboritv to prohibit it. V r Edmunds remarked upon it asa verv o.r-'ius and intem-ting ci it ii instance that a -vi'lition oimngs uau neeu leaoneu w i.ere. according to t he debate and accord -ir to the judgment of tho supreme court, tl'p state hnd.no nower to1olsalg3v?tli the subject and congross had ucpowrr to dea 1 with it. The result was thnu.Ghcre was in every man ui one rtfttvauiuhereut.uindi t uai, personal riejUt to-Jcatey into, any 6, ;te what ui&t state intght consider injur ious to its safely, thorg" to Soil it, and t hat congress had no power to stop it and that t!o states could nottop it unless the cou gress gave them that power. It was only necessary to state such a proposition to show that somewhere, either in tho supreme court or in the senate, there was a fault in the logic of somebody. He did not feel over persuaded or put in" a box by what the supreme court hnd said. It might change its opinion next year and sav that the rule should be tho other way. He did not feel embar rassed by the" fact that the supreme court had taken the longest step ever taken within a hundred years in the republic, toward the centralization of power some v here, either in the supremo court or in congress. Ho did not believe in the cen tralization of power. He believed in its Fcgregation and separation in every re spect. Speaking of tho importion of intoxicat ing liquors into a stato, Mr. Edmunds rlaimed that once they got there they were fwhpther in the hands of natives or not) tlv subject of state Laws and that was what J tne "supreme court oi me luucu mios would come to within the next twenty viars It might be that that would inter fere with therevenue of the United States. 3 Jut the power of the United States to reg ulite coimnetce and levy taxes was no irrnatr within its .vnhere than the power cf the states to deal with the commodities and the conduct of its people within their J sphere. .Both powers were supreme ana each had to te exerted in its own order. The constitution had declared that congress should have the power to regu late commerce among the states and left to the states the power to deal with the objects of commerce after they got there. After further discussion the oill went over without action and the senate pro ceeded to tho consideration of the resolu tions offered by Mr. Cameron in,respect to the memory of the late Representative Will iam D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania. Remarks in eulogy of the character and public services of Mr. Kelly were made by Senators Cam eron, Morrill, Reagan, Sherman, Hamp ton, Hawley and Daniel. At the close of the eulogies the senate, as further mark of respect to the memory of Mr. Kelly adjourned. NO CHANGE IN SUGAB. An Amendment by Mr. McKenna Voted Down The Proceedings. Washington, May 20. A conference was ordered on the District of Columbia appropriation bill and then the house went into committee of the whole (Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, in the chair) on the tariff bill. Mr. Henderson, of North Carolina, of fered an amendment abolishing the mini mum punishment for violation of the in ternal revenue laws. Mr. McKenna, of California, moved to amend the sugar schedule so as to provide as follows: All sugars not above No. 13 dutch standard in color shall pay duty on the polarized test as follows: All sugars not above No. 13 dutch standard in color, all tank bottoms syrups of cane, juice or of beet juice malade, concentrated melade concrete and concentrated molasses, test ing by the polariscope not above 75 de grees shall pay a duty of .94 per cent per pound and for every additional degree or fraction of a degree shown by the polari scopo test, they shall nay .03 of a cent per pound additional. All sugars above No. 13 D. S. in color sh.nll be classified by tne D. S., or shall pay duty as follows: All sugar above No. 13 and not above No. 1G D. S., 1.79 cents per pound. All sugar above No. 16 and not above No. 20 D. S., 1.99 cents per pound. All sugars above No. 20 D. S., 2. 19 cents per pound. Molasses testing not above 5G degrees by the polariscope shall pay a duty of 2 cents per gallon. Molasses testing above 56 degrees shall pay a duty of 4 cents per gallon. Mr. McKenna spoke in support of his amendment. Then followed considerable discussion of the subject, which was indulged in by Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, Mr. Price, of Louis iana. Mr. Morrow, of California, and Mr. McKinley. Mr. Price and Mr. Morrow supported the amendment and Mr. Cannon opposed it, while Mr. McKinley in closing the argument gavo his reasons why the sugar schedule of the bill should remain unchanged. The McKenna amendment was rejected 115 to 134, Messrs. Mc Kenna, Morrow, O'Neill, of Pennsylvania; Harmer, Dehaven, Bartine, Vandever, Dorsey, Kerr, of Iowa; Coleman and Rey burn, voting in the affirmative. On motion of Mr. McKinley amendments were adopted reducing from 14 to 11 cents per cubic toot the duty on tin, manufac tured or undressed stone or other building or monumental stone except marble not otherwise provided for and from 50 to 40 per cent on hewn, dressed or polished stone of the same character. Mr. McKinley alo offered an amendment fixing the duty on shot guns valued at no more than $12 at 35 per cent; valued at more than 12, at 40 per cent; pistols and revolvers 35 per cent. Mr. .McKinley offered a long amendment, the substance of which was to impose a tax of 5 cents a gallon upon alcohol used in the manufacture of vinegar and putting that manufacture under the superin tendence of the commissioner of internal revenue. Mr. Sawyer, of New York, offered a sub stitute for the amendment, having for its object the taking away from the manu facturers of white wine vinegar all right to distill alcohol, but giving them power to buy alcohol under certain restrictions. After three hours of confusion and in attention, during which tho amendment was read, but not the substitute, order was restored but without au attempt to vote upon the pending amendments the committee settled down to listen to a general discussion of tho details of the bill aud amendments under the live minute rule. Mr. Sawyer's subsitute was rejected, 45 to 9-1, and the committee amendment was adopted. Mr. McKinley asked that unanimous consent be given for gentlemen to print amendments in the Record. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa What good docs that do? I offered an amendment yesterday restoring the present duty on wool and woolens, and I want a vote on it. Applause on Democratic side. A motion to rise was agreed to SI to 44 amid a great deal of confusion, and the house, at 11:20 adjourned. GOVERNMENT MORTGAGES. A Bill Providing for Establishment of a Land Loan Bureau. Washinnton, May 20. The bill intro duced by Senator Stanford provides for the establishment of a land loan bureau in the treasury department. The chief and deputy chief sliall bo appointed -by the president with salaries of $0,000 and ?5,00 respective ly. The secretary of the treasury is au thorized to prepare, ready for issue.

London. May 20. The British steamer, Dacco, f roui Loudon April 30, for Brisbane, struck upon the Dardeuellu reef, in the Rod sea, on Friday last. The reef is 400 miles from Suez iii the direct track of nav igation, and a few inches above the sea at low water. The steamer carried, all told. 419 persons, most of whom were young female emigrants. The passenger took refuge on the reef, a few ot them being ac commodated, and a few were standing on rock. Many of the latter were compelled to stand in water up to their waists. Most of the passengers lost their clothing. The British steamer. Rosarie. from Bom bay. May 5. for Ode-a. barelv succeeded in rescuing the orticers and crew of the Dacco before she .ank. The Briti-di steamer. Palcotta. from Greenrock. with coal front Calcutta, took the passenger off the reef and afterwards took theDneeos officers and crew from the Rosario and landed them all at Suez Sunday. IOWAS WILL TREAT. THEIR RELUCTANCE REALLY BUT A PRETENCE. Firm Believe Obtains Among Them that They Own the Reservation. Something of Their History and Oooupancy of the Lands Parleying with the Commission. Captain Osborne Brought Out by Alliance Men to Ruu Against McUall in the Sixth District The Terri torial Presa Convention Meeting at Purcell -Western Gossip. Guthrie, Ok., May 20. Information re ceived from the Iowa reservation is that after the feast of yesterday, which con sisted of two fine bullocks, the Iudians were a little more sociable. Judge Wilson smoked the pipe of peace with Chief To Ilee and Governor Jerome pleasantly caressed a papoose of 3 years. The facts are that the Iowas intend to treat with the commission. Tho Indians have told the newspaper men as much. However, it is likely they will delay matters as long as possible. Squaw men from the Kickapoo reserva tion bring the information that the Kick apoos, while preparing to bluff the com mission, at the same time are quarreling among themselves for tho best of the claims. From the same source informa tion comes that the Pottawatomies are selecting their quarter sections. The Iowas hold their reservation by an executive order issued by President Ar thur, and they have no title whatever to the 200,000 acres of good farm land it con tains. There are only eighty-three mem bers in the tribe and these consist largely of old bucks and squaws. Although they have no title to their land, yet they firmly believe they own it. They regard President Arthur's order as a deed in fee simple because it sa3s that the reservation shall be their permanent home. They can not understand how it is that one great father can ignore the acts of the pre ceding great father. All the contracts and state acts of their own head chief are kept sacred and inviolate after the death of the chief. What Blackhawk said fifty years ago is sacred to them today. Tho toma hawk that Blackhawk used in his many battles is to the Iowas today, when intro duced in their councils, an indication that war is expected. April 22 that old toma hawk was brought to Guthrie, and after nightfall a.couucil was held and the relic placed on a hastily improvised mound. The constituency of the famous Black hawk has dwindled and shrivelled. The warlike proud spirit of the tribe in the days gone by has been gradually broken by disastrous war and the policy of the government in treating the Indian like a pensioner of the helpless ward of the white man. He has become a mendicant and perfectly incapable of self reliance. The opening of the Iowa reservation is of prime importance to Guthrie and also to Oklahoma. The lands of Oklahoma were not nearly adequate to satisfy the de mands of the settlers. In the Guthrie dis trict there have been GOO more homestead filings placed on record at the land office than there are claims, and there are nearly 2,' 00 contests awaiting a hearing. The committee, after wandering around for trtventy-four hour, were finally brought to the Iowa village by two Indian scouts and Mr. Herbert Wolcott and E. H. Davis, who went out in search of them. Immediately after arriving Governor Jerome insisted on holding a conference with the head men of the tribe. The In dians were all full of talk, and after the commission had listened to them for four hours the red men absolutely refused to hear speeches until after the commission had given them a feast. The Indian acting jus spokesman Medi cine Horse, next in rank to Chief To-Hee assumed a dramatic attitude, and placing his hand on his stomach, said: "Ta-ha-stel," which in English means "stomach empty." There does not seem the least doubt but that the commission will now succeed, as means are at work that will accomplish this end. If successful, obout 2SO,000 acres of laud will be opened up just east of this city. ITEMS FROM THE FORT. Fort Heno, I. T., May 19. Special Cor respondence. A dance of some magni tude is just now in progress at the Indian camp below the fort. It i the annual 'Tain dance." To judge from tho yells and music it will be a good year for crops. Bids for delivers of 2,000 cords of wood at this post, were opened Saturday. The lowest bidders were Peter Haddan and W. D. Moore, of Junction City, Kan., who offer to deliver hard wood for $0.49 from Council Grove and for $5 99, if permitted to obtain it at other places. They will probably be awarded the contract. The construction of two new cavalry stables and two blacksmith shops, tor which Mr. Leik, of Leavenworth, has tho contract, has been delayed on account of the contractor failing to comply with the terms of his contract. Muyor Dobson, Commissioner Voss and Mr. Jenkins, of Reno City, and Mayor Longendj'ke, of the new El Reno, have beeif appointed a committee to wait on Governor Steele upon his arrival at Guth rie. Fishing and snipe shooting has been ex cellent in and about Reno City and tho new El Reno lately, but neither hook, line or shot gun could "catch the county seat. PREPARING FOR THE FAIR. Special Dispatch to the Dally Eagle. Kiowa, Kan., May 20. Today several car loads of Barber county cattle and hogs were shipped over the Missouri Pacific rail way to Wichita; also a match pair of Bar ber county horses, 17K hands high; weight 3,150 pounds.

Several wagon loads of fence wire are daily coming "in from the Cherokee strip ranches, to "be vacated October 1. The wire is being bought up by parties who are now here waiting for the opening of the strip, intendingto use it to fence their claims. JUDGE FOSTER AT KINGFISHER.

Attorney Gen eral Kellogg and County Attorney "Welch were in consultation today on the question of the original package question in Tope ka. All they would vouchsafe of their plans was that a move would shortly be made by the anthortiles. Every move ment of the original packago dealers is being closely watched. A prosecuting officer stated that ho was satisfied the dealers had gone too far and that they were therefore liable to prosecution. The indignation of the- temperance people against the whiskj dealers who have at tempeted to reinstate the liquor traffic in Topeka has advanced to such a pitch that a secret organization has been effected, so it is stated, to compel by force if neces sary, a discontinuance of the sale of liquor. CATTLEMEN OBEYING THE ORDER. Akkaxsas Citv, Kan., May 20. Tho statement made the cattle men are bringing additional herr s into the Cherokee strip is erroneous ana consequently does them great injustice. The correspondent has just had an inter view with Colonel G. W. Parker, the spe cial agent who was senthere by the govei-n-mentto investigate the complaints, and he reports that aU of the cattle brought in are unloaded and immediately put upon the different Indian reservations where the unexpired leases are held. These reservations were not included in the order from the intarior department, except to prohibit the execution of new leases. The order is being strictly obeyed. EX-GOVERNOR HARVEY FOR CON GRESS.

State Help Substituted for Self-Help to a Deplorable Degree Lord Salis bury Makes Defense. Even Socialism Justified by Proper Enact ments Mr- Gladstone Believes that Ireland's Salvation Will be "Worked by the Inborn Justice of Englishmen News from Abroad. LoNDOS', May 20. In tho house of lords today the Earl of Wemiss and Marsh, lib eral conservative, denounced the tendency of the government towards socialist leg islation. Parliament, he declared, seemed ready to do anything in the shape of grand motherly legislation and to meddle with affairs that ought to be left to private initiative, like workmen's houses, the pay ment of wages and feeding and education of the poor. The London county coun cil, he said.was especially inclined to pred atory objects and fostered projects to abolish leasehold and deprive landlords of their ground rents. They pro pose to take by compulsion and wit hout compensation property belonging to the city guilds in order to apply it to what they called industrial schemes. Serious legislative bodies ought to look where so cialism was leading. It was not land alone, j but every kind of property that was threatened. Jbreedom or contract and freedom of private enterprise were assail ed. State help was substituted for self help, thus destro3'ing the fiber of the na tion. Lord Salisbury, the prime minister, ad mitted the existence of a strong tendency to lean upon the state on every occasion. Atrainst this, he said, the I government must guard. If they im posed upon the state burdens beyond its power to bear they would create an indefi nite source of expense, and would ulti mately produce unlimited corruption. Socialism might be defined as the state doing something that might be done by private persons for the sake of gain. Some I times this would be a very unwise thing to do. mere was notning so socialistic as the mint and post otlice, yet at the same time there was nothing more justifiable. It was not practical policy to classify leg islative proposals or otherwise. Ev ery subject ought to be treated on its own merits. Too much importance. Lord Salisbury declared, was attached to the doings of socialism. The public could be trusted to fiud out what practical good lies behind the socialist doctrine. Nobody not absolutely blind could deny the existence of great ruins from which arose the socialist problem and action in industrial and other causes produced great miserj'. "We are determined to do all we can to remedy these evils even if we become socialists, knowing we are right, on no new principal or striking out on no new route but simplj; pursuing the long and healthy trend of English tradition." Lord Saisbury's remarks were received with cheers. BRITISH GRAIN TRADE. LOXDOX, May 20. The Mark Lane Ex press in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says: The weather favors the growth of wheat, which is strong, regular and hardy. Beans, peas and spring corn look well. Continental advices are satis factory. It is estimated that a little above 1,000,000 quarters of Englislf wheat of 1SS9 remain to be disposed of. This, together with the fair quality of the offerings, hardened prices. The sales of English wheat during the week were 81,719 quar ters at 32s od per quarter, against 04.14S quarters at 29s lid per quarter during the corresponding week last year. Tho flour trade lias been dull, but prices have been fairly firm. In consequence of heavy im port" trade imported llour and wheat have recided a point or two. Beans and oats ha vo been firm. The trade has been against sellers of barley, peas and maize. The Lon don holders of maize have been decidedly firm in spite of the heavy decline in the United States. Today the weather was against the sellers "of wheat aud spring corn. The market was inactive, and the speculative inquiry slackened. This is regarded an temporary. Holders were firmer. Tho finest English wheat was a shilling dearer, while oruinary was unchanged. Fine Australian, the best California and good Russian was firm. Flour was in fair re quest and firm. Barley was slow. Ameri can oats were 3d dearer. Beans and peas were firmer Flat and round maize were 3d lower. Yellow was steady. THE HOPE OF IRELAND. Loxdox, May 20. Mr. Gladstone spoke to a large meeting today at Lincoln on the Foliticar situation. In discussing the rish question he said the hope of Ireland could not be expocted to find realization through the peers and privileged classes of the realm. Where it looked was to the heart and sympathy, the simple justice and love of liberty which had ever charac terized the British people. He was confi dent that, under the blessings of heaven, the people would declare for Ireland's right at the first opportunity they might have to make their voice heard. Speaking at Spatding yesterday, Mr. Gladstone said he would welcome a disso lution of parliament as an appeal to the country. MARRIED A BELGIAN PRINCE. Pari'. Mav 20. The marriage of Mis Clare Ward and Prince Decaramar Chi may, son of Prince de Chlmav, Belgian minister of foreign affairs, took place at the Xunciate in this city today.

Mr. Moore's testimony as given before the committee was as follows: "Prior to the great floods of 1SS2 1 had been of tho opin ion that a combination of outlet and levee systems was the proper solution to the vexed question of Mississippi river improvement, but since tho appoint ment by congress of the river commission I have carefully watched the progress of their work and carefully noted its practical effects upon the navigability of the river and am now a convert to the efficiency of their theory of treatment, which is also indorsed by the entire corps oL engineers."

BOSTON'S AffTI-BAB LAW. The Bean-Eaters Must Now Take Their Liquor Sitting Down. BOSTON, Mass.. May 20. Bostonians to night take their la -a perpendicular drinks. To-morrow the old anti-bar law will bo put in force, and all thirsty citizens mut sit at little tables and have their drinks brought to them by a waiter. Already the drinkers in many places have for the last time looked into tho glare of the mahogany and. smiled at tho reflection of their own jollj faces. Just what is to take the place of the thoroughly American bar is not yet decided. It is safe to say that the small table will b found tomorrow everywhere, and in some instances' the bar structure will bo re moved, but what eems to be the most popular idea just at present is to fix up the counters with brass railings like a bonk's counter. Behind this counter the now gloomy bartender will hide his frowns and his troubles, bottles and other things of that ilk. The?e rails are to he in some instances as high as three feet, in order that no drinks can bo passed over them. In most cases a lit tle doorway has been cut through tha bar. The instructions given by the jKlice com missioners are a trifle vague and will not necessitate the removal of the bars. A man may build a screen in front of his bar, or he mav pile a stack of lager beer lwxes or any other material upon it, anything in fact, as long as ho does not and can not dispose of liquor over it. Barkeepers are particularly cautioned not to give drinks to a person who is standing. All must be seated. Today was a busy day in nearly all of the bar rooms, and from an early hour this morning the proprietors and their employes were busily engaged in re furnishing their places in readiness for the morrow. The liquor can be drawn behind the bar as heretofore, and the glares when filled mav be deposited upon it. bur the waiters will be obliged to go behind the Mr and get the liquor or ulw paws through the arched openings which have been cut for that especial purpose. In the big bar room of oung's hotel to night everyone is sitting at tables. A wire netting like that used in baae-ball grand stands fences in the bar, and through an opening in front the waiters are dodginac in and out. Tho Tremont house bar to night is a marble desert bereft of even onj amber colored oasis, the screen and arch way are being put in placo. In Conklin's the miniature floor space Is being; fllld with little cirrulir tables not mora tbn two feet in diameter. There is much confusion and anxiety in regard to another cUue of ti anti bar law, which provides that liquor shall be furnished only with mealn. The bar people have txjHieged the cemmisfiioner's ofiJre all day to learn what constituted a meal If a cracker would go. So far ther hare ob tained no satisfactory answer, and are In doubt if the oommiioirs will tmforr t hat part of the clause. SeY?ral oft be hotel keeper, in order to be on the safe eide, have intrncU-d their barkeepers to fnrnish drinks only t sch ha order a meal from the hotel bill of fare.

In a big book at the war department is kept the roster of the medal-of-honor men. There are 13G7 names on the list. Opposite each name is a brief record of "the distinguished service during the war of the rebellion" for which the medal was granted. A few days ago the medal men formed an organization in Washington. They are going to have their first reunion at Boston during the encamp ment of the Grand Army of the Republic. "The Legion of the Medal of Honor" is the title selected for the new association. The medal of honor is almost unknown to the great body of veterans. It had its origin in a joint resolution of congress. Thia resolution was adopted on the 29th of July, 1802. It provided: "That the president of the United States be authorized to cause 2,000 medals of honor to be prepared, with suitable em blematic devices, and to direct the same to be presented in the name of congress to such non-commissioned officers and pri vates as shall most distinguish themselves bv their eallantrv in fiction and other sol dier-like qualities during the present in surrection." The resolution earned an appropriation of $10:000 for the preparation of these med als. On the 3d of March, 18(33, congress went still further m this direction. An act was passed providing: "That the president cause to be struck, from the dies recently prepared at the United States mint "for that purpose, medals of honor additional to those authorized by the resolution of July 12, 1SG2, and present the same to such officers and non-commissioned oflicersand privates as have most distinguished themselves in action, and the sum of $20,000 is hereby appropriated." From the roster it appears that the issue of these medals up to this, time has been sonfined almost entirely to those who served in the Virginia campaigns. There are scarcely twenty out of the 1,307 which were won by some act of distinction in the west. But before western veterans become indignant over this apparent discrimina tion they must be informed in what esti mation the medal of honor is hold at the war department. Congress evidently intended tlie medals of honor to he highly coveted badges of distinction. Hut Secretary Stanton almost destroyed their significance by an order which he issued on the 29th of June. 1WJ. Lee and his army had crossed the Potomac and had entered Pennsylvania. The great crisis of Gettysburg was at hand. There were union regiments the terms of which had just expired. The war secretory wished to retain in the ser vice every man and also to inspire every emergency men. He caused to be issued and widelv circulated the following: "The adjutant general will provide an appropriate medal of honor for the troops, who, after the expiration cf their terms, have offered their services to the government in the present emergency, and also for the volun teer troops from other states that have volunteered their temporary service to the states of Pennsylvania and Mary land." The stock of medals of honor ordered by congress was drawn upon to carry out this order of the secretary. From that time the medal lost the distinctive charac ter congress intended to give it. Upon the the roster appear the names of over 40!) members of one regiment. They belonged to the twenty-seventh Maine. The reason assigned for the bestowal of the medal in each case, is "volunteering to re main in service and participate in the battle of Gettysburg, his term of service having expired."' Mr. Frederick II. Stafford, of the adjutant general's office, has charge of the roster. lie recalls the fact that the medals for the Twenty seventh Maine were called for and carried away in a bij; basket. It "is clear that Secretary Stanton didn't believe much in medals of honor. He used them for a temporary purpose and cared nothing for their future value The soldiers who were selected to act as an es cort for the remains of President Lincoln to Springfield were give medals of honor. While the roster is burdened with hun dreds of names that should not bo upon it there are some entries in the record which show that the intention of congress was occasionally carried out. Private Peter J. Ryan, of the Eleventh Indiana, received his medal for the "cap ture of fourteen confederates in the se verest part of the battle" of Winchester. Sergeant Leslie Archer, of the Ninety sixth New York, planted the colors of his regiment on Battery Hudson, near Rich mond, in Seplember 1PM. Private Peter Anderson, of the Thirty, first Wisconsin, saved a gun of the Four teen?"! Army corps from capture at one of the last battles of the war Bentonville, X. C. Corporal Charles Blucher, of the One Hundred and Eighty-eighth Pennsylvania, planted the first color on the fortifications of Fort Harrison, near Richmond. Prhnto Francis E. Brownell, of the Elev enth Xew York, shot the murderer of Col onel Ellsworth, at the Marshall house, in Alexandria, Yiu Lieutenant Thomas W. Custer, of the Sixth Michigan cavalry, captured two confederate flags within four days in front of Richmond, in April, ISlw. Corporal James L. Cary, of the Tenth Now York cavalry, won his medal "by daring bravery and urging forward the men in a charge." James Dunlav-. a beardless private in the Third Iowa cavalry, captured General Marmadukc in the battle ot Osage, Kan. Lieutenant James M. Drake, of the Xinth Xew Jersey, received his medal for "gallant sen ices in the field and great suffering in southern prisons." Prhate Nicholas Fanning, of the Fourth Iowa cavalry, captured a silk confederate fag and two staff officers, with it at Selma, Ala. Private tTolm Gray, of the Fifth Ohio, captured a field piece in the face of the enemy, at Port Republic, Yn. Color Sergeant Conrad Homan. of the Twenty-ninth Massachusetts, fought his way through the enemy's lines with the regimental colors at Petersburg. Va. Private Franklin Johndro. of the One Hundred and Eighteenth Xew Y'ork. is credited with the capture of forty prison ers at Chaflln's farm, near Richmond. Private John S. Lvnch. of the Third In diana cavalry, was decorated for earning a dispatch from the president to General Grant, at Fredericksburg. Corporal John Miller, of the Eighth Ohio, captured two flags at Gettysburg. The medal of honor Is so like the Grand Army badge that it almost seems as if the latter was modeled after it. The metallic jiortion of the badge is of bronze. A five pointed str hans from a ribbon of red. white ami blue: the fastening is a bar at the top. At a little distance" the budges can not be distinguished apart. THE OAT CROP NOT GOOD. Chicago, III.. May 2fl.

P0E PBQ3flBTI0K. The Eeport Adopted by the Methodist Con ference South. St. Loms, Mo., May 20. In the Metho dist Episcopal church conferencethis morn ing the committee on temperance made a report in which they define the position of the church on the subject of temperance and give the result of extensive inquiries of the various conferences throughout the country as to the attitude of the churches and their members in regard to the use of intoxicating beverages, their manufacture and sale and license or prohibition. The committee say in substance that: First We are convinced that if any more advanced position is possible to take than the one which the M. E. church South occupies today upon the question of temperance our membership is ready at once to take it. We are emphatically a prohibition church. We stand out square ly for the complete suppression of the li quor traffic. We offer no compromise to and seek no terms from this heinous qual ity.

Third We are able to state that for the most part our church, members throw the lull weight ot their influence and autnor ity as voters against licensing the liquor traffic. Fourth The testimony was uniform and unvarying as to the fidelity of our preach ers in the cause of temperance. Fifth The evidence was practically uni versal as to the valuable work of the na tional Womans' Christian Temperance Union in the cause of temperance. The report was unanimously adopted. The committee on the spiritual state of the church which was instructed to pre pare a condemnation of worldliness for in sertion in the book of discipline, made a long report condeming dancing, card play ing, theatre going, attendance at race courses, circuses, etc. The report was adopted.

The 3Iater of the Chicago Wheat Ht Id a Close Student and a Good Talker, Special Correspondence. Chicago, May 1. When the market is active and the -wheat pit on the floor of the board of trade contains a buzz ing, shouting, screaming swarm of brokers, the eyes of those most deeply interested are not so much on the dl where the fluctuations in price are being constantly registered as on a grim and terror inspiring figure stalking about near the grand staircase. This is "Old Hutch," as he has been christened by those who have fallen in the fray. So large a porcentaga of the population bear the scars of wotnids received in the wheat pit that the fame of B. P. Hutch inson as a financier is obscured by the notoriety of "Old Hutch." Probably no prominent character In the west is more generally misunderstood than he. Even h3 enemies have to ac knowledge that his most disastrous forays on the market have invariably been pre ceded by repeated warnings to the crowd to "stand from under," which, had they been accepted, would have meant safety. Unprejudiced observers can see plainly enough that what some of his rivals ac-. complish by means of trickery, luck and reckless "bluffing," this much traduced veteran owes to his estraordinary physi cal vitality, his phenomenal energy and a vigilance that never relaxes for a moment, A very few of Mr. Hutchinson's busi ness associates know him as something more than the terror of the wheat mar ket, and they thoroughly enjoy his so ciety. When 'change opens they stand aloof, for the "old man" is carrying in his mind the operations of a dozen brok ers, who are reporting constantly how the battle wages in the pit. When the bell taps at the close the veteran stalks a little way up the street to his bank, the Corn Exchange. Here the loose ends of the day's business are picked up and some laconic general orders issued for the morrow. Toward 4 p.m. a few con genial spirits will be found in the Century club drinking in the wisdom that falls from the lips of "Old Hutch." But if any one expects to hear a word about how to get money out of wheat, or out of anything else for that matter, disap pointment awaits him. It is Thorean, his favorite philosopher, Margaret Fuller, the dispersion of the races, the theory of evolution, the poetry of Browning, Tennyson, Dante, Shako Bpeare, evolution, religibn, art, music, medicine the whole range of subjects whioh appeal to the intelligence of en lightened humanity supply texte for the discourse of this wonderful man. His grammar is often faulty, and his pronun ciation occasionally something to smile at. Ho sees the smile and affably ex plains how he never went to school a day in his life. Bat ho has a rugged eloquence that never fails to impress those who listen. They know that this man, who is master of trade and finance, has road more books than the professors, and read them better; that he knows pictures and poetry better than the pain ters and the poets: that he has looked deep into the lives of the men and women of history and found in them more than their biographers dreamed of. Often tho old man holds forth on these msitters, over an occasional glass of beer and cheese sandwich, until within an hour of dawn. Then his little audience crawls off to bed. But bed is not in the thoughts of"01d Hutch." Ho gives his big form a shake, and, going to tho ofneo of his favorite newspaper, buys the first sheet wet from tho press, boards a hsrso car and is at tlie stock yards by sunrise. Usually a day thus begun makes history in the wheat pit. C. I. The Apache's Nemesi. Flagstaff, A. T., April 25. Old man Prior's long hunt on the Apache trail is ended. His body was found recently by two prospectors on the Colorado Chiqui to, near Bill Williams mountain. But no Indian had rubbed him out; he had perished of exposure, having become too old to enduro tho privations of his lonely scouts in the mountains. Many years ago old man Prior had a wife and two chil dren and a ranch in Arizona. One day he returned from a search for eome lost cattle to find the mangled bodies of his wife and children lying beside the smok ing ruins of his cabin. A band of Apaches had passed that way. Old man Prior dn't say much, but he rode into tho nearest town, bought a lot of cartridges and rode away into the mountains. From that day old man Prior was seen in the towns and mining camps of Arizona only when ho was out of grub and ammunition. He would ask for a job at any kind of work, and would work hard for a week or two. Then he would spend every cent of his wages for cartridges and provisions and disappear. In old man Prior's eyes every Apache was a hostile, on the reservation or off, and he adopted the Apache's own style of warfare bushwhacked 'em when ho caught 'em out alone. Many an Apache, on good terms with the government and drawing rations between raids, tumbled off his horso in some lonely canyon with ono of old man Prior's bullets through his head. Old man Prior never talked about his hunts, nor much about any thing else. Ho took ao scalps, and there were no telltale notches cut in the stock of his rifle, but the old timers, who re membered the marcifer of his family, knew very well what sort of garao he hunted, and not one of 'them would give him away to the authorities. Settlers, who had suffered themselves from Apache raids, often fitted oat old man Prior without asking any questions or demanding any work from him in re tarn. They would fill up his cartridge belt, give him a supply of beans, flour, salt, sugar and tea and say: "Good lack, old man!" as he rode away. How many Apaches he wiped out no man knows. He had been growing feeble for some time and was unfit for the rough, hard life he led, but he had only one purpose in life, and he stuck to it to the end and died on the Apache's trail. A. K.

Ex-Slare Who Hare Made and X.ost For tunes in, the West Denver's Tirst Corn Fidslcny ANejreM TFholTas YTealtby and' Is Ta,Vlnc in Was blag. One of the earliest negro pioneers in the far west was old Jim Beckwourth, the famoai negro scout, hunter and trapper. His name will go down in western history along with each noted scouts as Eat Carson, Jim Bridger, Bill Williams and others of the white race, Trhotvere all famous on the old time trails. Jim Beckwourth came west from Bt Louis, and spent several years among the Crow Indians. The Crows gi eatly admired Eecwourth for his courage and prowess in battle, for he often assisted them in their wars with hostile tribes, and finally he became a groat war chief among the Crows. On leaving the Crows Beclrwonrtb came to Denver, where he and his eqnaw resided for toms time. Here he had an altercation with BUI Payne, the pioneer negro blacksmith whom Ben Halllday had sent west to shoe the horse3 for the old time pony express. After filling Bill Payne's body with buckshot, and an acquittal in the courts, Beckwourth re turned to Wyoming, and later attended a great feast of the Crows, to which he and his Equaw and old Jim Baker, the famous scout, still living, and his Shoshoce sqaaw, were in vited. The Crow squaws put poison in his food, and thus died Jim Becitwourth, the negro scoutand adopted war chief of tho Crow Indians. As Beckwourth rofured to live with the Crows they thought they could always have his spirit with them if they poisoned him in their tribe at this great feast. CAREER OF TWO MEW. Edward J. Sanderlm, Denver's wealthiest colored barbor, having amassed a fortune of 5200,000, has rented hia shop and retired from business. He now devotes his time to collecting rents and looking after his ranches and mining interests. He was a pioneer in California, and was among the first to follow the rush to Colorado in the Pike's Peak ex citement of 1859. He is a bright mulatto, and is the most prominent of his race in the Rocky moun tains. He says hia father's name was Wilson Bandsrlin. "I think he came from Eng land," said Edward J. Sanc'erlin, referaiug to his father, and settled in North Carolina. He moved from that state to Shelby and Montgomery counties, Tennessee, where he owned large plantations. He died leaving an estate worth about a million dollars. There were two sets of children, one white, and the other set by my mother, who was of mixed blood. Tiwre was a loug contest in the courts,'" continued Sonderhn, "over the estate, which finally resulted in my mother's children receiving about $30,000 each. I did not get my share until after I had made a fortune in California. I was bora in Now Orleans in 1836, and was educated at Gil more's school, Cinciunati." One of Denver's richest negroes is Lewis Price, a real estato man, whcro wealth is esti mated at from 150,000 to 200,000. He was born a slave in Clay county, Mo., in 1S40. Some of bis people were owned by tho Price family, of Missouri, and hence ho bears the same name as Sterling: Irice, tho famous Con federate general of that state. When hardly more than a boy L-wis Price ran away from his master, Stokoy Williams, in Ray county, Mo., in 1S63, and going to St. Louts enlisted In the union army, but was refuEd, as he was too young. SEVERAL WEALTHY K3GR0E3. In August of that year he went with hi mother to Atchison, Kan. From 1865 till 1S67 he drovo ox teams across the country. Then for ten years he ran a lauudry in Den ver, Cheyenne and other points, having sev eral thousand dollars. He has mad'o two small fortunes prior to making bis present great wealth. He lost all he nad in 1830 in Tne Denver Star, a paper he started m Den ver for the negro race. He came out $5,000 In debt and quit journalism. Some of tho pioneer negroes nre dead and others are widely scattered throughout the west. James C. Stilts, who was with Green Russell and the Georgians who discovered goid in Cheuy creek in 1853, is said to- be In Jlontana. Jerry Demppey, a '."jfer, would have become a Loadville milhonaire had be not died before that great mining camp reached the height of its prosperity. Demp sey is said to have given $500 to tho lirat negro baby born in Leadville. The richest negro in the Rocky mountains was B. L. Ford, who cams to Denver from Chicago in 1800. He built the Intorccean hotels in Denver and Cheyenne, and at one time was worth f 250.000, but lost it. Ford is a. witty fellow, and is working up again. He is now worth f 40,000.

The moss famous as well as the first ne grcss in the Rocky mountains was "Aunt Clara Brown." She is said to have been born a slave in Virginia about tho year 1S00. She was owned bj Ambrose Smith, of Virginia, but when a child she was f akon to Kentucky and later in bfe became the property of Georjjo Brown, of Russollville, and on his death was given her freedom by his heirs. In 1?68 she wnt to Leavenworth, Han., aad in 1869, when nearly CO years okl, sl.e followed the golt hunten to the Rocky mountains.

A feature of the market was the apparently small quantity of wheat on sale. The opening was about y,(sic lower, but the ofterings were readily absorbed, and prices advanced 2Jc for July above the early inside figures and the closing was firm and c higher than yesterday. Corn was traded in to a fair extent, re ceiving considerable attention at times, but price changes were limited to H(dc ranye. Tho early develonments were rather weak and the market opened a shade lower than yesterday's closing prices and under free selling by local, and coun try longs sold olf some, influenced largely by the heavy arrivals. Prices firm ed up some some and sold upjC fitter the early weakness some of the local crowd who sold early covering. Final quotations were c better than yesterday. Oats were active- but quite weak at tho opening owing to large receipts. Later advanced to lc for tho near deliveries. The market closed firm at about outside prices. Very little business was transacted in pork. Prices were lower and tho market closed steady at outside figures. Dull feeling prevailed in lard, prices averaged about 2c lower. Trading in short ribs only moderate no changes in prices.

"We expect every day to hear that the prohibitionists are denouncing bananas. The only time that the dull tariff de bate seems to excite any interest is when the gentlemanly disputants begin to pass the lie between each other. It has been dull for two whole da vs. An exchange represents a traveler in Germany as saying that the sheets at the hotels are too large for handkercliiefs and "too small for towels. A traveler ought not to mind these slight inu-con-i enionces. If the supreme court gives the state's rights doctrine a few more shoulder .strikes like those on the original package and local meat inspection decisions, the devotees of the doctrine aforementioned will not be able to recognize its ghost. In fact that is about all there is left of it now. Our tears mingle and commingle and fall to tlie cold sodden earth with tho. I of George Washington Martin today.

This is from a paper that advocates legislating temperance into men, en forcing abstenance with the policeman's club and sending the joint keeper to heaven through the jail. The Philadelphia Record thinks it hardly possible that the ballot reformers will ever achieve a more remarkable victory than they have secured in New York, since "they have got a very good law on the statute book, passed by a legislature in which botli parties were opposed to it." This is putting it a little stronger than tho facts seem to warrant. There was little opposition to the last bill passed. injiumiwnwiiwiwimi Since G. F.

Whon corn was selling for 12 cents and wheat for cents, the Wichita Eagi.E claimed the low prices were due to our prohibition law. Now that corn is selling for "J5 cents ami wheat for St) cents, it is in order for the Eagu: to arise and state that the advance is due to the '"unbroken package" decision, Ashland Journal. You misquote tho Eagle; it never used the language with which you credit it. Nevertheless it is a fact that the de cision referred to and the advance in prices of cereals are both events of recent occurence. No work of fiction of recent j-ears, perhaps, has had so wide a reading and discussion as Edward Bellamy's "Look ing Backward," but, without discussing its merits or demerit's, it is worthy of note that the title of a later effort of a contemporaneous writer of equal force, to-wit: "Looking Forward,"' by Joshua Hill, of Cincinnati, has more to recom mend it to the reading public as being more in consonance with the spirit of tho times than the first mentioned. Remem ber Lot's wife. Now that tlie supremo court of the United" States has formally announced that local inspection laws passed In state legislatures for the purpose of pro hibiting the importation, of dressed fresh meats into such states as is the purpose and intent of such stato laws are in contravention of the constitution and laws of the nation and therefore void, that subject of long and bitter conten tion will probably be dropped. To our mind it lias !een a source of wonder that there should have been any controversi on er so plain a proposition. During $ie past year the Bank of France lias added about 50.000.000 in gold to its cash reserve, and less than 8, 000.000 in silver. The bank discounted notes to tlie amount of over 9.000,000 of francs, and in the city of Faris, more than a third of the whole amount were notes for less titan 100 francs. Of these small notes very nearly 2.000.000 were discounted. Tlie bank paid a dividend of 1 12 francs after carrying over 4.000,000 in the reserve. This bears out tlie asser tion that tliat country has tlie largest amount of currency in actual circulation of any country in tlie world, amounting to something like 33 per capita of population. A GOOD TIME FOR WICHITA. The St. Louis Trader denounces the 'Olusser' lie which is still going the rounds, the Iron Age being the last pa per to pick it up. The Trader says it has information which warrants it in saying that "there is a good time coming for Wichita." Lies like that told by Musser to the Ohio paper may fly faster than the truth but they can't outlive the truth winch in the end overtakes and triumphs. Kb city in the west, new or old, holds such bright prospects as the city about which Musser promulgated his ingenious and taking falsehood. Such papers as the Iron Age are remiss in their duty to their readers when they fail to inform themselves of such glaring falsehoods, especially when it would be but a matter of a moment to turn to the bank clear ings of the country and ascertain that at no time in all her history has the vol ume of Wichita's business equalled what it is today. The idea has prevailed extant that the Hon. Sam Randall was retained, or rather permitted to remain in congress because of his tariff views and actions on that question when it came before that body. If that impression was cor rectly formed, it is very evident that Mr. Vaux, whom the Democrats nominated to succeed Mr. Randall, is a man of the Randall mold, inasmuch as the Republi cans of the district have made no nomi nation. Stanley's Guildhall speech will be re garded as a note of alarm to which Eng land must give heed. It is an unmis takeable appeal to British pride and capital not to allow the Germans to seize Africa's rich properties. The announce ment of the German and Italian min istries that their governments are work ing in thorough accord with that of Eng land may be regarded as an illustration r l!ie diplomatic axiom that language is given 10 man lor me purpose or con cealing thought. There is some compensation for the disappointment experienced by those who opposed tho locating the world's fair at Chicago, in the fact that the city by the lakes has supplimented the com ing event by erecting a statue of the state's illustrious citizen and the nation's hero, TJ. S. Grant, in a suitable position in the most public portion of that city. This performance as against New York's professions and promises will have the affect to make everybody satisfied with the situation as it is as regards the great event of 1802. THE SITUATION IN OREGON. The first state to speak out, through the ballot box, on tho current political issues will be Oregon, which holds its Rtate and congressional elections in June. It is stated that the tariff is the leading question at issue, the two parties occu pying the position of the national parties on that issue. Oregon is a live stock country and the sheep men have the idea that the higher and more compre hensive the tariff on wool the more they will get out of their product. On this point the Republicans have the advant age, decidedly. But Oregon is also a cattlo country, and the notion prevails that there should be a tax on hides; but tho pending tariff bill beforo congress has left hides out of tho protected list, and this is not satisfactory to tho cattle interest, particularly tho Republicans engaged in it. Another great industry of tho state has a direct blow dealt by tho proposed law. An immense number of salmon are canned on tho rivers, and the V)o per cent to be added to tin plate will be damaging to it! Taken altogether, therefore, the ad vantage on is-ties appears to be with the Democrats, in spite of the wool-pulling, and they are making a spirited canvass. It will be remembered that Harmon car ried tho stato by nearly 7,000 majority and the entire delegation in congress is Republican. Mr. Harmon the represen tative, is personally popular and will quite certainly be returned. The gov ernor is a Democrat, and will most likely Ive re-elected. The railroad influence is powerful in that state, and was solidly against tho Democrats last time. How far it is now participating does not ap pear. The chief int rest in tho election is due to the fact that it is held in June and is the first to indicate the public sen timent in the far vest. MEXICAN RECIPROCITY. Tlie Mexican Financier, of May 10, published in tho City of Mexico, says: "It is reported in the United States that Minister Romero and Secretary Blaine have partly matured a plan for a recip rocity treaty, limited in scojie but with a sufficiently broad basis to insure a con siderable augmentation of the trade be tween the two countries. The rumor has appeared in many shapes, and in gener ally well-informed journals, and it is not iinprolwble that it will turn out to have some foundation. Minister Romero is expected here in June, possibly to confer with the government in this important matter. The secrete of tlie United' States Legation at this capital are well guarded, and nothing pertaining to the matter has "been heard from that quarter. The pres ent excellent and thoroughly able Amer cau minister. Hon. Mr. Kvaii. has given a great deal of study to questions affect ing the international trade of Mexico and the United States: certainly no other minister among his predecessors has be stowed more labor on commercial re seaches. and his government has prob ably received the benefit of a good deal of accurate information. The friendly and sympathetic interest displayed by tlie American mini-ter in Mexican affairs ha, been a most gratifying indication of the improved relations between the two tion in Boston would be timelv. A Bos countnes. and it is a matter for couKrat- j ton philosopher complains, and justly, of illation that tlie American government this "placard in the horse cars: has here a representative who deals with i The man who sits under this sirn is a important questions in a spirit of broad i and enlightened statesmanship: but this is no more than we had reason to expect from the hisrh character of tlie man ami liis admirable work wliih? a member of important committees in the United States congress." If not hampered by unfavorable legis lation by congress Mr. Elaine would un doubtedly succeed in establishing most lavorabie trade relations with our sister j republic to the south, and ultimately with all the Central and South American countries: but if lie is to be handicapped in his endeavors by such measures as the McKinley bill, which bids fair to be enacted as it came from tlie oommittee in ifc? cont of mail, it would seem to be" useless to make any further effort in the matter of extending our commercial intercourse in that direction For the Eagle. IN THE "VALE OP THE ARKANSAS. In the vale of the Arkansas lies the garden of the state. Soil and water, health and climate, all combine to make It great; Orchards, shade and flowers luxurient, greet the eye with beauty rare And fruits unequaled in their richness arc abundant everywhere. Central In this favored region, Sedgwick county sits a queen. Show s with pride her Peerless Princess and declares that ne'er was seen Any city like unto her, on the Muddy or the Kaw, And to prove It ask the Nation just to visit Wichita. -E. P. Ford. AN EDITOR'S EYES. A Picture of the Peerless Princess and the Unrivaled Nile of Ameri ca. Mr. N. S. Mounts, editor of the Cold water Enterprise, who stopped over a few hours the other day while eastward bound, in a letter to his paper has this to say of Wichita, the valley and its fields, herds and horses: "A few minutes after arriving at Mul vane we were enroute to Wichita, speeding swiftly past broad acres of gently sloping, fertile valley lands dotted thickly with handsome farm houses, commodious barns, lovely orchards, lowing herds and fields of growing grain, the sight of which.led us to exclaim, "Truly the Arkansas valley is the Nile of America." Wichita, christened the "Peerless Princess" by Marsh Mur dock, and dubbed the "Windy Wonder" by jealous rivals, is truly a wonderful city; thronged streets, massive business blocks of beautiful architectural design, costly churches, magnificent schools and colleges mammoth packing houses and manufac turing institutions attract atten tion and create amazement, while beautiful houses half hidden by stately trees and ornamental shrub bery inspire the visitor with admira tion and a desire to remain within the city; no wonder the Eagle never tires of screaming the praises of tho "Peerless Princess." Oik.- stay in the city was necessarily short and at 9:29 Sunday morn ing we again boarded a Santa Fo train bound for Kansas City, and within a few minutes the "Magic City" faded from our view and we settled down to peruse tho morning Eagle, but the broad meadows, fields of waving grain, splendid orchards, elegant farm buildings and forest skirted steams past which wo were swiftly gliding attracted our attention, and the Eagle, always bright and interesting, appeared to us upon this particular morning, dull and prosy; we threw it aside and feasted our eyes upon the swiftly passing scenes, and called to our mind the scenes this same country presented seventeen years ago, when we passed over it in a prairie schooner, and contrasted them with the present, wondering whether the different scenes, presented in panoramic views to some of the half discouraged denizens of Comanche, would prove an effectual panacea for the blues and fill them with new hope. President Carnot of Franco recently visited the homo of Napoleon Bonaparte, and is said to have gazed with admira tion upon the granite grotto in which, according to the legend, the Little Cor poral spent long hours when a child in study and play. The young Prince of Orleans may find a bit of consolation in this, but there isn't much solace in it for Boulanger. It may be that that inci dent, trifling as it appears, prompted tho Jersey Islo fugitive to disband his or ganized following. Only the French un derstand Frenchmen, and they don't al ways. A NOTED KANSAS CITY. A paper published in Cincinnati in the interest of State Sunday school conven tions, says of the coming convention of the Christian church: The greatest Sunday school convention ever assem bled in Kansas will convene at Atchison, May 20. Atchison is the second jrreatest railroad center in the state, and one of the greatest in the we.-t. It is the home of distinguished men. It is here that the late Governor John A. Martin lived for more than a quarter of a century. Ex Governor George W. Click still lives here. This is the home of Senator John J. Ingalls, the most distinguished citizen of Kansas, and in the estimation of many, the nm-t eloquent statesman in the national senate. This is the place where a mob desired to take tlie life of tlie now lamented Pardee Butler, and where they tied him to a raft and set him afloat in the Missouri river. And it was near he preached probably tlie first sermon representing the Disciples of Christ in Kansas. Pardee Butler did much for the Sunday school cause in Kansas, especially in Atchison county, where his wife mid sons and daughter still reside and help this confessedly im portant work. ,wh6lesaleoisoning. From the WinfieM Conrirr. Mr. B. F. Mundell returned from Gar net t this morning and ghes an account of a case of wholesale poisoning that oc curred in that city Sunday. It appears that shortly after dinner a largo number of the guests and waiters of tlie Fourth Avenue hotel were taken violently ill and it soon became apparent that the cause was poison. Upon investigation it was ascertained that ice cream had been served and that the cream had been made in a new freezer from which the muriatic acid used in the soldering had J not been eradicated. At the time Mr. Mundell left, which was shortly after midnight, twenty-three persons were suffering, and the physicians stated that there were five who bad but little if any chauce of recovery. A traveling man irom xvansas uity. who iaueu 10 punas e i of the ice cream, was the only person at the hotel who escaped sickness. 3lrs. Ed.

As there seems to be considerable lack of information and not a little curiosity as to why Mrs. Parnell was granted a pension, the following from the Congres sional Record of May 10 may be of inter est: Mr. Cummings This pension bill is for the benefit of the daughter of Admiral Charles Stewart and tlie fact that she i3 the mother of Charles Stewart Parnell has notlung to do with it. Born in Philadelphia, he entered the navy as a lieutenant on March 9, 17S9. He served in a frigate in tlie West In dies, operating against French privatees. On July 13, while in the command of the Experience, he captured tho French schooner Deux Amis. He was afterward chased by two French vessels. By skill fully avoiding them he afterward caught them separately and captured the schooner Diana before her sister vessel could assist her. On November 16, 1S00, he took the privateer Louisa Bridger. In December he rescued sixty women and children, who had been wrecked while flying from the revolution in San Do mingo. In 1802 Stewart served as executive of the Constellation, blockading Tripoli. In 1803 he was placed in command of the brig Siren, in Preble's squadron off Tripoli. There he conveyed Decatur in the Intrepid to destroy the Philadelphia. He participated in all the attacks on Tripoli and was included in the vote of thanks in congress on 3Iarch 3, 1S03, to Preble's officers, ne took command of the Essex and went with tlie fleet to Tunis, where he convinced his commander-in-chief that it was illegal to make war except by declaration of congrees. In 1800 he commanded the Constella tion and was promoted to captain April 22, 1806. He superintended the con struction of gunboats at New York in 1S06-07. With Bainbridge, at the out break of the war of 1812, he dissuaded the cabinet from the proposed policy of not sending the navy to sea against tho British. He was appoiuted to command the Constellation in that war. In going to Norfolk he met the British fleet, which he skillfully avoided. He afterward participated in the defense of that city. In the summer of 1813 he took com mand of the Constitution. He destroyed tlie Pictou, an armed ship, and the brigs Chatharine and Phoenix. He chased several British ships of war and the fri gate La Piqua, and narrowly escaped two British frigates near Boston. With new sails he left Boston in December, 1814. He captured the brig Lord Nelson off Bermuda, December 24, 1814, and the ship Susan off Lisbon. On February 23, 1813, ho took two British ships of war, the Cyane and Levant, after a spirited engagement of fifty minutes. While at anchor at St. Jago, Cajie do Verde Islands, a British fleet approached, ne ran out of the harbor and adroitly es caped with the Constitution and Cyane. The Levant was recaptured by the fleet in the neutral harbor. For this exploit Commodore Stewart received from congress a vote of thanks, a sword and a gold medal. The Penn sylvania legislature gave him a sword, and he was presented with the freedom of New York. Like the famous frigate Constitution, Stewart received the appellation of "Old Ironsides."' He commanded the Medi terranean squadron in the Franklin in 1816-'20, and the Pacific squadron in lb20-24. On the Pacific coast he caused a paper blockade to be annulled and vindicated the rights of American com merce, no was commissioner of tlie navv in 18:30- 32, commanded the Brook Ivnnavy yafdin 1838-11, and in 1811 was mentioned as a candidate for presi- dent, but was not nominated. He had charge of tlie home squadron in iskj- -1J, commanded the Philadelphia navy yard again in 18IG, and from 1S34 to 1801. Tie was retired as senior commodore in 18.(! and flag officer in I860, and on July l(i, 102. was commissioned rear admiral, after which ho was on waiting orders un til af tor his death, lie was in the service seventy-one years, and was senior officer in the American navy for seventeen years. Such, Mr. Speaker, is the record of this admirable officer. The retired list of tlie navv today costs the government SUwO.OOO yearly. Since this list was established the total aggregate cost has been $16,331,000. The records, Mr. Speak er, of all the naval ofiicers on the re tired list today and 1 do not sa- in the way of disparagement will not compare with the record of this one American admiral. They were educated at the expense of the government, and were re tired on three-quarters pay when G2 years old. lie was actively on duty over seventy-one years. Many of them received prize money: he got not a cent from the Levant, although cut out of a neutral port. His patriotism was so great that he never claimed prize money.

It may now be accepted that the Mc Kinley tariff bill will become a law sub stantially as reported from the ways and means committee. What its effect will be upon tlie -ountry. and upon the party responsible for it, is in tlie future. j ihe principle of protection nas aiwaya been a cardinal idea witn tne American people, the difference consisting is the degree, and the manner of execution.

A new postoffice, named Chaddick. has been established in Oklahoma and Alonzo P. Bacon appointed postmaster. Oklahoma is about equal in size to Mary land and Delaware combined and ic is probable that new lands will be added be fore it becomes a state. After a whole year of kangaroo law, the Oklahoma Chief shouts it out that the genuine article will be hailed with delight by the lawyers and the public generally. As between its prospects for becoming something of a railroad center and the ap proaching necessity for a system of sewer age, Guthrie begins to feel some slight metropolitan emotions. Pnrcell seems to be wrestling with a boom of considerable pretensions. The Register says it is difficult for one to keep track of the various new buildings now going up there. The new roofs can be seen in every direction. What does this mean? The Oklahoma City Journal says: "The colored people met with still another misfortune to their tabernacle. Alter removing it from the road they set it up again down near the saw mill. Yesterday morning they found the timbers scattered along the street fora block or two." The acreage of land planted in cotton in the vicinity "of Norman is rapidly increas ing of late'and the farmers are still prepar ing ground for planting. The Transcript says several thousand acres of the plant will soon be growing in Little River county and present prospects are that cotton will be the leading crop in that section. Guthrie lias been revivified, so to speak, hy the renewed promise of an early begin ning of work on tho proposed street rail way. The News says a dispatch has been received by the mayor stating that the iron and equipments 'had been shipped and would be in Guthrie soon, when work would be pushed to completion as fast as possible. The Edmond Sun says there was a cold rain there Monday night. There has been too much dampness and too much coolness for the corn in Oklahoma this year. Corn is very backward, but tlie hot days of June will make it crack with growth. The ground is thoroughly saturated with moisture and all corn now needs is warm weather and care. The new secretary comes from Frisco. Wichita Eagle. No; not from Frisco, but El Reno. The credentials and testimonials of Judue Mar tin on file in Washington all accredit him to El Reno. Frisco has no partiality for the new secretary and he on his part has no particular love for that place. El Reno Herald. Thanks for the correction. No harm meant, consequently no harm done. The El Reno Herald claims that the fil ing for the town site of El Reno is duly made and was so when tho recent territor ial enactment became a law; that there is not the slightest foundation for the suppo sition that any set of schemers can invali date the location of the county seat, and that the filing of another tract of land to be called El Reno, in no way affects the act of congress. Extending the laws of Arkansas over the Indian territory has developed the fact that there are a good many which might be termed "blue laws" in tho statutes of Arkansas. It is safe to say that the courts of the Indian territory will have their hands full enforcing the laws, for the stat utes make offenses of many things which the inhabitants of that country have been in the habit of dning from their youth up. Oklahoma Journal. The new law as of the Arkansas code in reference to the carrying of concealed weapons and gambling was ordered to be enforced at Purcell beginning with last Monday. The Register says that the order caused "an immediate silence in the various gambling dives, and one now hears less promiscuous shooting so common on the streets heretofore. One can be fined 50 and imprisoned 30 days for gambling with cards or dice or carrying concealed wea pons. Tlie territory folk are about as well pro vided with pleasurable iiastimes of a sportive character as any community This from the El Reno Herald will rive an idea of such passing events down there: "A foot race was run Wednesday at the fort by Keller, of K troop, and Kennedy, of B troop. The race was a three hundred yard dash and ended in a dead heat. Tune seconds. About 5.000 were up on the two men. who are the best runners in the territory." The Cherokee commission has gone to visit and negotiate with the small Indian tribes east ot Oklahoma City, accompanied by a troop of cavalry. The only trouble expected will be with the Kickapoos, of i whom the commission will demand an im mediate allotment. These Indians do not own tl,e lands their reservation comprise. but -ome ot their leader declare that they will never allot and that they will go back to Old Mexico, from whence they originally came, rather than take their lands in sev eralty and allow the whites to settle among them. The coiumistiou will, it is said, allow them no further delay and will force them either to leave the United States or accept lard in severalty.

An Enthusiastic Crowd Addressed by Judge Kay and General A. II. Campbell Anti-Extra Session Resolutions I'assed. The temperance meeting announced for Garfield hall last evening resulted in a fair sized crowd, there being quite a number of ladies present, which was one of the con spicuous features. Mr. H. Imboden called the meeting to order, and Prof. H. W. Everest nominated Colonel Lewis for chairman, which pre vailed. He said that in a city bearing the reputation throughout Kansas as a Sodom of iniquity, unjust as it may be, he was glad to see sucli an intelligent bod y of men and women. The meeting was called to enter its protest against an extra session of the legislature to re-submit the prohibition question: also, to urge- congress to take some action as a result of the recent "orig inal package" decision. He thought a crisis had come and a demand for action present. Kansas would be true to herself and would still show the world that she stands for liberty and in defiance to the rum power; ever in eternal warfare against the monster. He announced that the two distinguished guests were present. He in troduced Judge James A. Ray, of "Welling ton, who was received with liberal applause. He announced that he had seen by the press that Judge Foster, of Topeka, and Judge Reed, of Wichita, had been address ing resubmission meetings. If they had done that other gentlemen of the same standing should not be criticised for ad dressing meetings in favor of law, order and sobriety, lie announced that the ques tion was a very interesting one to him and it was impossible for him to refrain from expressing an opinion. Senator Bentley and W. R. Payne of Wichita, had recently addressed a meeting at Wellington and he had clipped out a re port from the Eagle which he read. The statement that Sumner county had paid 10,000 for one grand jury in his county and a big crowd present. Senator Bentley had read the report but so far had not corrected it. The grand jury referred to cost 81,200, and the hall at tho meeting was not half filled and the enrollment of club membership was only seventeen and not hundreds as had been reported. Three weeks afterwards the secretary of the club said he had been unable to get tho club to gether. He asked in the name of common decency if that was fair play and if all the reports had been so badly exaggerated. He said it was peculiar that all were going over the country making resubmis sion speeches were temperance men and Mr. Payne was a member of the Methodist church and tasted not. At this moment referred to the prayer of the Pharisee. Indefference, ridicule and argument the three changes of every moment. The two first stages had been passed and tho third was now to be considered. He referred to the speeches of Bentley and Payne at Wellington, taking up their arguments. Ho thought the farmers would not favor resubmission, as in his county the Farmers' Alliance in a meeting showed only three men for resubmission. The farmers of Kansas needed a change of freight rates and not resubmission. This would benefit the farmer. In Wichita's resubmission club not a farmer is a mem ber. He accused the bankers of being for resubmission and he understood the bank era were not much loved by the farm ers. He referred to Payne's statement that narper gave 100 for whisky per day and that would be made in Kansas and saved if prohibition was upset. He made some cal culations, the result being S saved to Kan sas in tho 100 spent for whisky. Of this, 1.00 would go to the farmer, and no more. He further figured that if whisky was made in Kansas would in crease price, of com not one mill per bushel. Ho further concluded that fruit raising in Kansas for brandy would not be a paying business. Concluded that if prohibition law prevented manufacture of intoxicants in Kansas it ajso prohibited the sale and diminished the nse of it. He thought that the prohibition law would spread to every state in the union in duo time. Ho referred to the statement that 1,014 government permits in Kansas and claimed that the territory is in the terri tory district and mauy of the number re ferred to issued for the territory. To illus trate how tho number increase, Foster gets a license for a joint and gets busted by the Kansas law, and Reed to take up the business must get a license and when lie got busted Bentley to take up tho busi ness must get a license and when he is forced to let up Murdock to take up the business would have to get a permit and when he had been pulled J. W. Steen would have to get a new license, etc. The application and illustration was responded to with considerable enthusiasm. The speaker concluded that the number of per mits issued in Kansas did not represent very mauy joints. Concluded that by taking out druc stores and the repeating process there are not over 614 joints in the state. Before tho law was enacted one saloon to 500 people, and now not a joint for every 1000 people. One saloon on Douglas avenue would sell more than a dozen joints stuck up in the third story. The prohibition of anything would de crease its sale. The speaker looked back to his Kentucky town, his former home, and the statistics of crime showed that whisky produced crime as shown when compared to the prohibi tion county of Sumner. It was also an nounced that Sumner county had made money by enforcing tho law. The law could be enforced in Wichita if the pub lic sentiment was in favor of it. The trou ble in Wichita was due to the papers in tho town, and all tho blame should rest on the papers. This called the front row to grow wild, and continued to howl for some time, giv ing the speaker a rest. Mr. Payne had said ho saw twenty boys in a Wichita joint, and the speaker wanted to reply that Payne never saw any such a thing. If it had been true, the fathers' and mothers' would rise up and close up the joints. Pavne said it was natural to do things commanded not to do. He j quoted the Ten commandments and applied them to Payne. He seemed to i think tho Bently-Payne combination j showed temperance and an example op-1 posite. i The speaker said that it was the history of the whisky men that they would light all law whether it was high license, low li cense or no license. Some thing in whis ky chat made a man fight law no matter what the law was. He explained that the tide of immigra tion had stopped coming into Kansas be causo they could not get water and not be cause they could not got whisky. The lunds had beeu taken up in Kansas except in the far west where there was complaint about water not whisky. Kansas has had immigration since the prohibition law had been enacted. He did not doubt but some had left Kansas because of the prohibition law but no decent man had left on this ac count. He referred to the original package de cision as "infamous" but said he wonld take that back for he did not want to re fer to tho supreme court in that way. Congress would pass the Wilson bill in due time. Going back to those who had left Sumner county he read a list analys ing the fellows who had been run out by the prohibition law. In the list were gamblers, dead beats, brothel keepers, bar tenders, thieves and many other descrip tive words used in reading the list. He thought possibly prohibition had turned the anarchists from Kansas to Chicago. The Hon. A. B. Campbell, of Topeka, was introduced and 8aid he was glad and sorry he was present. Glad to be present and sorry for the crowd. He complimented the speech just preceeding him very high ly. He was satisfied to handle tho corn in Kansas by "raising more hogs and less h He said tho Wichita orators were "painfully" interested in the success of tho Republican party. Crying out to save the Republican party. The resubmission fellows years ago had groaned for the Re publican party. In 'S4 the resubmission ists had gone over to the Democrats to save the Republican party. They were beat then by 39,000 and this year would beat them more than in 84. The speaker would not want to hold a man who wanted to leave the Republican party. Let him leave if he wanted to. A real old Jacob Townsend Sarsaparilla Re publican would not leave the Republican party for such a' small thing. The plat form of the "off color" party in 'St was read and translated with considerable effect. The resubmissionists had been going around with a tax scare circular charging hard times and dry weather to prohibition. A circular signed by no one was being sent out on the tax rate. The taxation in Topeka before prohibition: 4.30 per 100 and since prohibition 4.14 per 100. "We don't whip the devil around the stump to get money in Topeka" cheers. The average rate of taxation for state purposes reduced since prohibition. The permits increased up to 'SO, and since that time they have been decreasing. The state of Nebraska, less population than Kansas, has 3,700 permits last year and Kansas permils 1,600. In Nebraska 14,000,000 left the state for permits in ten years, and in the same time less than a half million dollars for the same in Kansas. The speaker said he would admit that a joint was a bad thing. It would be better to walk in and drink with the boys. In his judgment the joint was far superior to the saloon, being less dangerous. The boys knew all about the open things, and not so apt to know about joints. Referring to the meeting on the 23d inst., at Topeka, he said the question was settled and nothing more to settle. A few men forcing a disturbance but not enough wind in their lungs to bring about a change. Prohibition in Kansas is here to stay. People believe in prohibition. Can't play on the s'mpathies of a prohibitionist in Kansas to give tho saloon another chance. Never intend to try it over again. The wrestle, nine years ago may have re sulted in a "dog-fall" but the dog was underneath. Another fight would bring in outside money and drinks to assist the festive Resubmissionists. Prohibition has been put in the constitution solid and every man had a chance to vote. All the people knew about it and "God help us there it will stay." (Cheers). He had only one objection to Wichita. i It wanted resubmission before it had had prohibition, ne urged to try prohibition and thought it would havo more friends. The time would come when the last joint would be driven out of Wichita. Ho thought the supreme court could error and that in tho original package decision the minority was right and tho majority wrong. The minority report would be the law in due time. The de cision had forced a national agitation which would bo observed and felt in due time. State control would finally be al lowed by a change in the constitution. If the fellows in congress did not observe the times the place that know them now will know them no more. Returning to Kansas, he said, no resub missionists wanted to go up against a prohibition governor for an extra session to resubmit; also to go up against a prohi bition legislature. It took gall to go up against such a combination. He told Gene Ware's story about tho little fellow wanting tho busted banker's gall. From this tho speaker concluded that ho would like to have the gall of the resub missionists. Kansas had lead in abolishing slavery and also leading in prohibition. Kansas hatching out reformations. Courts might be against the state at a time but the de sired end would be reached at last. When Mr. Campbell had completed Col. Lewis said at a meeting of the committee some resolutions had been adopted and would be read by Mr. J. C. Rutau. They were as follows: Whereas, The report has been widely cir culated by the enemies of our city that Wichita is a place whose law abiding citi zens aie too few in number and too weak in moral courage to raise their voices in support of law, principle and right, now, therefore, be it Resolved, By the citizens of Wichita, in mass convention assembled, 1. That we invite attention to the records of our criminal courts, to our alms houses, jails and hospitals, und challengo tho world to show a city having one-eighth our population, under license high or low maintaining as good order and with as little crime, drunkenness, destitution and disease, as Wichita. 2. In view of the recent decision of the supreme court regarding "original pack ages, we call upon congress to enact without delay such a law as'will enable a majority of the peo ple, in their respective states, through their local laws and courts to protect their property and homes from the evils of the liouor traffic. 3. We are opposed to any resubmission of the prohibitory amendment in Kansas, until a better "method of, curtailing the evils of intoxicating drinks is offered; and we call upon all fair-minded people to wit ness the inconsistency ami insincerity of those who. claiming to be temperance men, have been loud in tneir advocacy of resub mission upon the grounds of revenue and regulation; but who. now that the supreme court decision, as interpreted by the best legal talent in the land, would seem to reudcr both impossible, still clamor for re submission, knowing, as they do. or ought to do, that while that decission stands without congressional action, successful resubmission would mean nothing more nor less than free liquor. 4. That we point with ridicule to the stale and senseless argument that prohibi tion has had anything to do with financial depression in Kansas, or that open saloons upon our streets would lead to pro-perity; and we reioiee to know that with the brightening prospects far an abundant narvest turn tne rapio. ativunce in price oi farm products the last six weeks, resub-1 mission stock has been upou the decline, j and that every cent of the advance upon the price of corn and wheat has been like another clod fallinc upon its coffin; and i that this issue, dead and buried as it was. has only been brought to resurrection and j galvanized into seeming but transitory hie, under the supreme court uecision, by the prospect of free drinks. T. We call upon Governor Humphrey, bv all the sacred and inspiring memories of our past history, bv &11 the patriotic ties tnat unite tne moral iorce or tne state todav, by all the hones and aspirations of our tuturc. to stand nrm ana true to tne settled policy of the state upon this ques tion and refuse to, at the behest of tnose ever hostile to the enforcement of the law, backed by the brewers and distillers, en tail upon tie state the useless and enor mous expense of an extra session of the legislature at this time J. C. Rutan,' A. A. Hyde, H. W. Ever est, G. AS". Larimer, C. L. Davidson, W. J. Hutchins, H. Imboden. The chairman called for n vote on the i adoption of the resolution, and it was re- spouded to with a big I, and before put-; ting the negative cautioned all to listen for the opposition, but none appeared. The resolutions were announced carried unanimously. A. KANSAS 3rAN ON" "WICHITA. Ex-Senator A. P. Cogswell, of Eureka, spent the day in the city, making the EAGLEacalL The senator said he called to say, among other things, that up till within a few months he did not think it possible that Wichita would become a great city. His conviction was that no center of population, that no great com mercial mart, could be sustained away from the seaboard or lakes. But he says the Eagle has not only convinced him that Wichita is to be a great inland city, whose steel rails will take the place of water-ways as the burthen-bearers of com merce, but that he sees in Wichita herself multiplied evidences of all that the Eagle has been claiming: promises of a mighty inland city, controlling trade from great distances and in the very near future. Senator C. said that but a short time since while at Little Rock he was discussing with some gentlemen of that city, the EAGLE'S claim for Wichita and that sev eral of them conceded that Wichita already possessed too much power and prestige to be beaten in the race for commercial great ness by any city between Kansas City and Rocky Mountains or between the Missouri river and th'e gulf. It is his idea that in the very near future Wichita will be con testing with Kansas City for the trade of this section andhat so far as live stock would be concerned that Wichita would undoubtedly prove the victor, he himself finding it already convenient and pleasant to come to Wichita. WASHINGTON INVESTORS. John E. Beall and Charles M. Barrick, of Washington, D. C, are visiting this city, being the guests of Hon. Geo. L. Douglass. These gentlemen are inter ested largely in suburban and other realty properties in and about Washington and they come to size up Wichita's future. They stopped a day on their way out at Kansas City, and tho gentlemen were amused at the earnestness with which some of the Kansas City fellows declare that Wichita's stock markets were not hurting and would not hurt their market. If the four or five hundred thousand porkers which will be cut in Wichita the present year and the round million or more wheat will be cut here 1S90, do not hurt Kansas City, then all the better for that town. And there are conservative estimates, away below what the ratio of increase has been for tho past five months, as the Kan sas City people can see by referring to the tables of the price currents. Mr. Beall and Barrick, in company with Mr. Douglass, visited the stock yards and packing houses yesterday as they estimate that Wichita's future hangs as much upon her annual food markets as upon her job bing trade and manufactures. A NEW HAMPSHIRE CAPITALIST. Mr. G. C. Gilman, a capitalist of Nashua New Hampshire, luis been in the city since Saturday, a guest of Mr Oak David son. Mr. Gilman had not been in Wich ita for three years during which time, he says, Wichita has been surely doing some lively work in the way of erecting sub stantial buildings and in the forwarding of great enterprises. Mr. Gilman in his call yesterday said that visiting Wichita without seeing the EAGLE, would be like visiting Rome and not looking for the Forum Magnum, of tho coloseum. How ever Mr. Gilman does not think that Wichita's present and future rest on the logic of events, but on the logic of environ ments; in the corn fields and pigs; tho wheat fields and their mills; the pastures and their cattle, all of such breadth and number as can be found in few places within the boundry lines of this or of any other country; in her charmed circle and its hundreds of thriving towns; in her friendly relations with Oklahoma, rich in natural rescources and holding out her hand for a community of interests; these are some of the big factors in Wichita's big future. HAKTZEMS CONDITION. Howard Hartzell, the young man who shot himself at the stock yards was rest ing quietly yesterday. The ball was ex tracted just below the shoulder blade hav ing penetrated the lower portion of the lung. He was enabled to take a little nourishment and slept a little. Ho talked freely on all subjects except regarding his motive for the deed and in that connection would only say that time would disclose his reasons, lie has been moved from the office where the occurrence took place up stairs in the hotel and is tended night and day by his mother who is quite as niuchin the dark regarding his motive as any body else. Dr. Williams who is in attendance said last night he was doing as well as any one ever did under the circumstances but he was very uneasy about him, fear ing pneumonia. His pulse was a little rapid, respiration natural and his tempera ture was only a half degree above normal. The wound shows no tendency to sup purate and he may recover. WOMAN AND PLOWEKS. Mrs. Lena Leslie Major, of 332 Riverside avenue, sends to our table a mass of roses bedded in blooming jasimine. What an intermingling of brilliancy and perfume, what a tribute to sight and sense. A little note accompanying the lloral gift informs us that the roses are from bushes one year old and that they represent twelve varie ties. Flowers and women, pnrity and tenderness combined what joy and peace they do impart. God was not satisfied with man and the oak but he found that he could make creation perfect only by adding woman and flowers. Mrs. M. will accept our acknowledgments. TRYING TO MAKE A SNEAK ON A PENSION Mr. Dave Douglass, of Cullion, Kansas, a cousin of C. L. Caldwell, left yesterday for Cincinnati on a rather peculiar busi ness. He belonged to the Thirty-Seventh Indiana regiment and some time ago ap plied for back pension amounting to about 1,S00. The papers were filed and it was discovered that a man in Cincinnati had made an application for a pension claiming to have been in the same regiment and company. The Cincinnati man was ar rested and Mr. Douglass went to Cincin nati to establish his claim. WHY JOE AHEEN LA.CGHS. From the Kansas City Tlais A Wichita drug man by the name of J. P. Allen celebrated the twentieth anni versary of his business in that city by hav ing his picture in the local papers and de claring that he had never had occasion to be sorry that he had opened a drug store there. There are some people in the state -r-tt.-i -r11 lwl- wili cii.s.nifirtn nn tlii.a ctfA. ment, but Mr. Allen is one of the wealthiest and best citizens of the metro polis of the Arkansas valley, and k la a position to langh at. the suspicions of everybody. WANTS CLOSER CONNECTIONS: From Um BhT City JJH- Wichita is toonhig more sorely every j week, the market of this section. Lust week the receipts at the stock yards were 2.5n5 cattle and S.504 bos?, a gain o-rer any previous week. The growing business has necessitated extensive addition being made to the cattle peas. While we hntre rood connections with Wichita, wg wonld j be glad to have a shorter roote. beeattse we believe the time will eo when weeaaeot afford to ship to any other csaiist. 3,218 HOGS. The Number ICecclved at the Stocfc Yards Yesterday. What do the readers of the EAGLE think of the business at the stock yards yester day? Hogs came in so fast for a while that the boys had to rustle to take care of them. At the present rate of increase the receipts will soon reach 5,000 a day. Is there any body who has any doubt of the future suc cess of this as a live stock market. The packers say that if this increase keeps up they will have to commence building ad ditions to their plants. An extensive ship per, who was at the yards yesterday and who for years has shipped to the Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City markets, said to a reporter today: "In three years' time the Wichita live stock market will equal the Kansas City market of today, and in ten years' time it will overtake it. This may sound egotistical bnt if you live remember what I have told you today." SWINE HKEEDERS MEET. The Kansas Swine Breeders association convened yesterday at the Idetropolo and after an interesting session adjourned to meet this morning at 9 o'clock, in the meantime reassembling at the Mammoth Stables for practice in the score card with the following result: First subject a nent boar pig.

Members nre present from the following counties: Franklin, Dickinson, Rice, Reno, Harvey. Sumner. Sedgwick, Cowley, Kingman and Harper counties. A rXORAIi PItEMICM. To the Editor of the Emtio. Mr, J. R. Holiday in last Sunday morn ing's Eagle offering $23 to the Fair asso ciation as a special premium to tho pro duct that you might select came to my notice. I desire to call your attention to the lloral department, an enterprise in its infancy, comparatively, in this city; yet five times the proportions now that it was twoyearsago.shipping its product in every direction. Most of those engaged in tho business hero aro thor ough, enterprising men, who uuder stiihd their business. Yet of very moderate means, who need only a little, encourage ment and they will bring the business into prominence and produce tho finer and rare plants that are now being demanded and would be purchased freely to the adornment of our homes and city. Thous ands of dollars aro annually sent away for plants that come either dead or in such a condition thatthey scarcely pay forsetting, that serve to disgust rather than please. Few people realize tho cost of producing a niant much less the exhibition of a large collection at a fair, with the certain deterioatoring effects to handling, dust, etc., with danger of loss of tho entire lot. Nearly every plant grown takes from six to eight mouths of atten tion to produce it and very many from one to three and more years. The florist must sleep with one eye open through the long winter months. The Fair association had these things brought to their notice, and saw the necessity of a much larger prtxnium than has been here tofore offered, and so set aside all that they could seo their way to, yet so insignificant that the florist's club seriously considered the matter of not undertaking the expense of the attraction, for such it would really be, if sulficient courage in the way of pre miums was offered. The only incentive now is the interest we all feel in the gen eral good that will result to Wichita and this section by tho successful outcome of tho exposition. Hoping that a number of donations may be made as special premiums to be con tested for by florists and amatuers of this citv, I send "you this through the rolnmns of the Eagle. D. J. Chatfield, Sec'y Wichita Florist club. For the Eagle. IN MHMOKIAM. Bessie Brook, the subject of this sketch, was lorn in Tallula, 111., December 2, 1800, and died at tho home of her uncle, Thomas Brook, in Wichita, Kan., on May 10, 1SU0. Died, did I say? Surely in this case "There is no death, what seems so is trasi tion," and the Bessie we have known only to love must be transplanted, and will live always in the sunshine of God, whom she so loved, trusted and served. Tho home of the deceased was in Bloom ington, 111., where she grew to womanhood and graduated from the high school of that city, afterwards teaching in the pub lie schools until failure of health forced her to resign. From iutancy she was a faithful attend ant of the Sunday school in the vil lage of her birth, and even then her earnest de-ire for knowledge and quick conception drew from thoe who knew her the universal prediction that "Bessie will make a grand and noble wo man," which prediction has been fully verilied. Lef t fatherless at an eirly age, her path wjis not altogether rose lined, but she fully realized that chance would not set her on tho heights she wished to reach, but that she must climb step by step, which she did with a determination undaunted by cir cumstances. Gifted bv nature, she left no talent uncultivated. In both vocal and in strumental music, as in everything el. nothing but proficiency satisfied her, yet with all her attainments she "remembered her Creator in the days of her youth" and consecrated her young life to His service. Her name is on the Record of the Christian church in Bloomingtoii, her christian deeds are recorded above, and when death approached she had no dread of confronting flit record. Why should she? Unlike the Etruscans who whn lain to re!t bore coins in their right hands with which to pay Charon to ferry them over the river: she put her coins in the master's treasury that they might bear fruit when as Keats said: "The daisies bloomed above her," well knowing when she reached the dark river she should hear her master's voice saying: "It is I, be not afraid."' In one sense of the wort! she was a stranger in Wichita, hav ing come here two and a half month pre vious to her death, with the hope of ob taining relief from her disease which wa. lung trouble Yet in another sense she was not a stranger, for no matter where she was, her conduct born the insignia of her King the Nazarene ami she con Id not held attracting kindred spirits to her, and being the servants of oar master they could not be strangers. The register of the church treasury in this city will show that she coru-dVred herself no idle spectator although away from home and taat at home or abroad she was interested in he Master's work. Can we not hope and even believe that this last contribution coming from bo near the heavenly gate will be blest in good results The home of the uncle, where she died was profusely decorated with floral trib utes, bv the many kind friend j who had shown love and sympathy during her &hort stay here.

The weather was threatening, keeping all indifferent persons at home, Imt the clouds managed to curtain them selves until the affair was over. All those who love the circus came to town and a more enthusiastic lot of spectators could not be imagined. All were thoroughly in sympathy with the performance and the carefully pondered jokes of the clown and the thrilling feats of the trapeze perform ers and contortionists as well as the grace ful poises of the bare back riders, all re ceived a gratifying recognition from the auditors. Peanuts and gum were in fur ious demand and nothing appertaining to circus day was slighted. Even the horses seemed to catch the spjrit of the occasion and went through with their part of the program with a precision that was aston ishing. The reserved seats were packed full, old men and boys, matrons and mjiids in holiday, attire wero glorying in the feats of strength, endurance and skill in one ring in one breath, while in the next the ease and grace of some finished turn, were receiving favorable comment or they were laughing until tears rolled down their cheeks at the clown who destrously swal lowed a property or inadvertently stepped on an elephant. The parade which took place in the morning was a feature of the day and was indicative of a big show. The band led the procession followed by cages of ani mals and a steam calliope bringing up the rear, The menagerie was quite interest ing containing a collection of the most curious animals tiiat ever travel. The matinee was well attended and to ward evening it was noised about lhat the Wallace and Anderson circus was worth seeing. A full tent greeted the evening performance. Principal bare-back trick act by Miss Pauline Lee clowned by Mr. Sweeney was a skillful and amusing per formance. The flying sailor, Mr. Bemie Wallace and menage act by Miss Jeannetta Eld ridge and Miss Kosa Anarean were loudly applauded. The ilying trapeze act by Mis Lucille and Mr. Jordan was a graceful turn. The daring leap for life was n thrilling incident and accomplished with cae. The riding was particularly good and the horses all carefully trained. Mr. Charles Ewers and Miss Rose Lee did some fine jugglery on horseback. Mr. Park Melrose did some finished rope dancing, which was quite a novelty in its way. One of the most graceful feats of the evening was the bicycle riding by the Mel rose family. The child bicyclist was very clever. The family have been termed the new centaurs, half human and half bi cycle. Tho lightning hurdle act af Mr. "William Gorman, the running globe act by tho Misses Onri, and the boy and barrel juggled by the feet by Mr. Joseph Judge were all novel and interesting. The ma jority of the audience stayed to the con rert, which was much superior to most after concerts, and even the side shows re ceived liberal patronage and gave general satisfaction. The Wallace Anderson show did a good business and left n good impression behind for the benefit of their successors. ANSOUNCKMENTS.

CHRYSANTHEMUM NOTES. Chrysanthemum leaves smeH like chamo mile, but their flowers are generally almost odorloss. Tho first chrysanthemums scon at any hor ticultural exhibition in tho United States were in Boston in 1SS0, when sixteen varie ties were shown. Thero i? no better placo for chrysanthe mums in bloom than a cool greenhouse; tho fiowi rs open perfectly, they last so long and tl.eir color is so pure. With Americans tho chrysanthemum is Etnrt'v au ornamental plant; in Japan, how ever, there is a, kiml Ryorigiku.with yellow flowers which is eaten. It is not well to shorten back the Japanese ports after the middle of July, tho Chinese fr-rts after tho oud of July or the pomponea af t t tuo middle of August. Tup chrysanthemum is tho national badge of Japan, and nowhero else has its cultiva tion reached such perfection or arc its finer s ariotios more zealously guarded. Mr Yoshida, a nurseryman of Tokio, states in Tho Bulletin 'Arboriculture that chrysan themum shows in Japan dale from A. D. 000, baring been organized by the Emperor Ouda. The leautiful but pernicious white weed of tho Lay fields is a true hryantheaium, namely, C. LeuRanthexnum, and since a year or two gardeners have secured a semi-double variety of it. Tne first regular chrysanthemum exhibition held in England was at Norwich, Nov. 25, 1S2"J, when practically the uno varieties wero shown there a were exhibited the fol low ii' -Aar in B&ston. TL o ciuTereut types of chrysanthemums are kr.o r n as Japanese, Chinese and Pompone, and toey are again subdivided iuto large and Fir.a'l flowered forms incurved and reflexed fvrnw and sueuiouo centered forms of all tree. Olrvsanthenwnis aro as easily raised from sc "tl as are China asters, feverfus. or Indian piii Sow tho eds in pots or shallow boxes i'led with light soil and stand it in tho wiu 6 jw of h warm room or in a liotbed or green house, as oue would tomato plants. In 1190 chrysanthemum found their wav Into Eigland. Between 2T36 and 1 SOS new ar.ctws were, imported from China into Eng lr.nl, aud from that time on the stroRin of C i.iese, anemone tlovrered and pompon rf, bepan to swell to massive proportions. In 1S(V over CUO varieties of chrymstbo K u ns were cultivated m Europe. In 1SSJ 3 r H. P. "Waleott. of Boston, Mass., had 1 r.i-wf grown about Gt sorts, but how th j :'Mr of "varieties has reached into toe t i -and.-., and is advaaoins by hundreds o Tear. i ad vent of the orient chrysanthemum 1l: I.urooean gardens t imperfectly kaonn, L i Jakob Breyue, a botanist aud merchant c f Panig, ia one of Ids wwks paWfehed in 1 ulls us that the Chinese ebrysaatlteaiuni v-- lucn in calttvauoo is borne of tbe ceie Lralei gardens pf Holland. REMARKABLE SUICIDES. Ilcmer is said to liavo hanged himself becaCiSQ he could not solve tho "fisherman's riddLi." Philip Sfcrozzi tilled himself lest the rack should tear rom him the sscrot of a conspiracy. And such things are now hap pening in Russia. Ths Eev. Mr. H rector of a parish near Dublin, preached a sermon on the shortness of life, and immediately there after hanged himself in his parlor. Jeremiah Clark, organist of S?. Paul's, en tered a field intending to either hang or drown himself. Ho tossed a penny to de cide. It stuck sideways in the mud. Mr. Clark went home and shot himself. Zeno, tho founder of tho Stoics, set his followers a precious example. At the age of 98 he fell and put his thumb out of joint. This was a hint to him tht ho had lived long enough, so ho went homo and hanged himself. Sir Richard Crofts failed to save the life of tho Princess Charlotte. It preyed upon him so that one night, while attending-fche wife of a brother physician, he went into the next room and discharged two pistol shots into his head. Every one has read of Vatel, the cook on one of the great French estates, who killed himself with a sword because the fish ar rived too late for dinner. Ho was a con scientious cook an honor to a profession that could ill afford to lose him. At the battle of Ross in Ireland a vounrr subaltern desperately wounded was sur rounded by liis comrade. "Fly, or you will bo captured," he urged them. They would not. He drew his ovn pi2tol and killed himself. His motive was not a selfish one. In 1780 a British officer tried to shoot himself in Hydo park. A common laborer wrenched the pistol from him. The officer drew his sword. Tho laborer cpened hi3 arms and sr.id: "Kill me if you like; I wish to die as much as you do, but I would be ashamed to kill myself." An English subaltern described for tho sake of science his sensations in suffocating for one hour and five minutes. A French man dug a trench and starved himself to death in the same cause. Thesixteenthday he ceased writing; the seventeenth ho was found; tho eighteenth ho died. Col. Philip Mordaunt, a relative of the Earl of Peterborough, deserves a place among immortal idiots. He had everything the world could give, yet he wrote this and died: "Life hes given rac a headache, and I want a good church yard fdeop to Fet mo right, as my soul is tired of my body." What a picture in tha annals of chivalry- is that of the old Bishop of Soiasons Jacques du Chaitel who refused to retreat with Louis IX from Africa. Tho warrior prelate put his lance in rest and charged an army of his foes. They cut him into mince meat. But he was satisfied, for he had a perfect banquet of glory. It was only in 1823 that the shocking old "Cross roads law" was abrogated in Eng land. There is a story, and it is beautiful if only a legend, that near Boston, in Lan cashire, a stake driven through a suicide's body grew into a hawthorn tree, which, through the long years, dropped its pitying blossoms over the dishonored grave. A German, trying to omulaten English man who leaped into Vesuvius, dove into a furnace. But that was comparatively com monplace. A Frenchman, not to bo out done, tied himself to an enormous rocket and blew himself to bits in a blaze of glory. There is something characteristically French in this pyrotechnical end. Chicago Tribune. STRAY BITS. Twent3'-two improvements on tho sew ing machine have been invented and pa tented by women. It is said that the postage stamps of half the nations of tho world are engraved and printed in New York. A flower feast, or combat of flowers, was held in the City of Mexico recently. Tho floral decorations on some of tho carriages represented a cost of 52,00!). A young giraffe was recently born at a traveling menagcrio in Cambridgeshire. It is a healthy creature, and is said to ba the first of its kind born in England. A ccnoo dug out of a vellow cedar log, eight feet in diameter and fifty-nine feet long, is to be seen in the national museum at Wasliington. Tho trco grew in tho Columbia river region. An ocean steamer has been projected which, it i claimed, will cross tho Atlantic between Queenstown and Sandy Hook in about 3 days .and 13 hours, averaging a sieed of 21 to 34 knots an hour. A curious package was shipped by ex press from Jacksonville to Baltimore. It was a small white casket, with silver trim mings, containing the embalmed rpmains of Paris, a valuable dog'which died at tho Hotel Placide. The pension which is paid by the English Royal academy to each retired academician is 200. The t,um was originally 100, but was subsequently raiseu. Thero are at present four retired members and three re tired associates. Young Japs are regarded by American naval officers as the best kind of servants on shipboard. They ae marvels of neat ness, intelligence, obedieneo and courtesy. Somo Japs of excellent position at homo aro icrforming such services on American mcr.-of-war. The sen-ants and mistresses of Vienna have to manage their affairs under the su perintendence of tho police. Tho latter keep a "servants' book," n which each girl's dismissals and re-engagements are recorded, together with copies of character given by each employer. A new industry has sprung up in Ger many wit tho young leaves of tho wild strawberry pUnt. Hnving been carefully dried, they arc used instead of Chinese tea, and aro said to approach that beverage very closely in taste. 'An addition of young bramble and woodruff leaves is said to add to the excellent flavor of this most inex pensive of teas. There is said tc be a plant in Arabia, with flowers of bright yellow and with seeds which are liko black brans, and these dried and powdered, and taken in small doses, causa a person to danoa about and behave liko a lunatic, till he bcootntis oxhnasted and falls asleep. Wbon he awakes he has not the salaries; rcmeraljr&.ncp of hia ridicu lous behavior. The plant is called a "laugh ing plant."

THAT It Is Especially Fasclnatinc to the Xadles and to 2Xcn Who lake Society Infor mation Itegardias: 2Icn "Who TVere For merly Hish In Public rife. Special Correspondence, Washixgtox, M&7 1. On the floor of the senate the other day I saw no fewer than six ex-senators, hats in hand, chat ting with friends and viewing; the scenes of their former triuxiphs or disappoint ments. These were Warner Miller, of New York; Thomas J. dingman, of South Carolina; Joseph E. McDonald, of Indiana; Blanche K. Bruce, of Missis sippi; Omar D. Conger, of Michigan, and Augustas H. Garland, of Arkansas. Tho presence of such a large number of for mer senators reminded me that one of the odd phases of life in Yashiugton is the plentifulness of "exes." We see "exes" riding by in their carriages, or begging dimes on the street corner. They sit op posite ti3 at dinner, or hang about the barrooms waiting for an invitation, to step up and take something. The "exea" are everywhere, of all age3 and colors and previous conditions of official servitude all excepting the pres idency. We have no ex-presidents resi dent here, though we have any number of m?n who escaped that great office by the slrin of their teeth, and not of their own desire, but owing to circumstances over which they had no control. Xo former presidents are here, but there are ex-cabinet officers, ex-senators, ex-con-'jresssien, ex-commissioners and ex-gov-.moio galore: and as for former wearers ji the judicial ermine and those who once :sstied martial commands the "judges" .iziA "generals" and "colonels" and "ma jors"' their name is simply legion. Men vho livo in the national capital for a time as servants of the people do not like to go away. They are fascinat ed by tho lazy luxnriousness of the life, the beauty of the city and the social op portunities here presented. That form of society which is expressed chiefly in good dinners and large, fertile punch bowls most enthralls tho men, while tho showy afternoon and evening receptions, the teas and the endless round of dress parades known as calling bind the wom en fast in their toils. "What! Leave Washington and go again to the fron tier?" exclaimed the pretty wife of an army officer at one of Mrs. Oates' famous receptions last week. "Why, if that is to bo my fate I declare I shall commit suicide. Rather than go to the frontier and leave dear, dear Washington I will cut my throat." Tho pretty woman meant every word of it, too, and she made shivers run round the room by drawing a fruit knife suggestively close to tho white slrin of her neck. Then she seized a glass of punch, quaffed it with a laugh, and what had passed for a bit of comedy in the minds of tho spectators came to an end. But it was not all com edy with the dashing woman, and her poor husband, tho army officer, is out hustling night and day for the influence which may enable him to securo that boon of boons in the service waiting or ders at Washington. "A curious commentary on this fasci nation of Washington life," said Repre sentative Hitt, who is one of the brilliant coversationalists of the capital, "was af forded by the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox. I was then living in the National hotel, which at the close of tho war was tho fashionable hotel of the city. The house was filled with army officers and their wives, and when the news came from Appomattox and the jjeople in tho streets began to shout and cheer and flaunt their flags with joy I stepped up to the parlors to see how happy the ladies were. Imagine my surprise to find three or four of them in tears, and the others loolring very sad and solemn. 'What is the matter?' I asked one of them. Havo you not heard that Gen. Lee has surrendered to Gen. Grant?' 'Yes,' she replied, half crying, 'and that is just the trouble. Wo know this means the end of the war, and that we must leavo Washington and go away to the country to live again,' and then this wo man, like several of her sisters, burst into tears. I actually believe," conclud ed Mr. Hitt, "that half of these gay devotees of society would have been glad to liave tho war continued a couple of years longer that they might have re mained in tho whirl of Washington soci ety." With both men and women fond of Washington life it is not surprising that this is the place in which the "exes" most do congregate. A man once famous and powerful, whom many people thought might Iiimself become president of tho United Statos. now walks or drives tho streets of Washington unknown to nearly all who see him. Ho is a handsome man, with iron gray hair, a fine profile, an intellectual face. His name is Bout well "Lawyer Boutwell" ho is called by the few who know him and he was secretary of tho treasury under President Grant. He was then a social as well as a political leader, and was seen almost daily at receptions and teas. Now ho eschews all such frivolities, and, like tho average man of experience and sense, confines his social exploits to Jie stretch ing of bis legs under the mahogany where there is plenty of good wine and good company. Plenty of other "exes'' of the cabinet may be seen on the streets of Washing ton. William A. Richardson, who suc ceeded Mr. Boutwell in the treasury, lives in one of the handsomest houses in Washington, where ho is chief justice of the court of claims. Ex-Secretary ot War Belknap is one of the best known men in the city of Washington. He grows rounder and jollier and more red in the face as the years go b", and the circle of his friends appears to b& contin ually widening. He is a gastronome, a wit and a story teller. He makes ten or fifteen thousand dollars a year as a. claim agent and spends it all. He hae a, lovely family and a luxurious home. The oldest ex-cabinet cfHcer imthe ciry Bink T7as Particular.

When it was Ccrot and Troyon there could, of course, bo no con clusive appeal. Indeed, thero was one imi tator of Corot whose work was so good that there is a story of a collector wishing tc repudiato a purchase en finding that h had really got a genuine Ccrot insteaa of a forgery from this able hand. The painters now most popular with tho forgers aiw Detaillo and de Neuville. The poiice liavo lately made large seiz ures. Tho trade has evidently bcou goiny on at a wholesale rate. The audacity ci the forgers has been without parallel. In one case not only was the name forged very distinctly, but an inscription record ing that the picture was a gift to a good friend was added on tho canvas. M. Tissot has also been singled out by the forgers for the flattery of imitation.

Mr. Hardy con cealed his bubbling mirth as best ho could and replied: "So you have had turtle soup and turtle steak, have you?" The friend replied that he had, but said he wanted terrapin. "Well," said the epicurean law yer, "you jnst go down to Grorsce French's any time and call for terrapin soup or ter rapin sicak. You'll get it." Tkcco days later the man entered Hardy's ofuco-and vio lently shook his fist at the attorney. "I did as you advised about that terrapin mattrr," he said, "and I had turtle soup and tuxfcle steak.

It has seemed at time- as if the entire pop ulation of the eastern and middle states was determined to settle in the broad inter-I ior vallej of the San Joaquin, or in some of the iirettv snots neac. the ocean, from San Diero northward to San Francisco. Almost everybody has been interested in oranges and lemons and real estate. The Santa Fe route, being the shortest and best line to the coast, gets the cream of the passenger trailic.

TWO KISSES, "When I S37 that for rather more than a quarter of a century I have been a verita ble old maid an old maid, beyond 'the ohadow of a peradventure it will bo read ily understood that very many years have passed since I was a "ahp of a girl." Yet 1 was only a slip of a girl, a small sized, in experienced miss of 18, when I undertook the rather arduous task of teaching a dis trict school in an outlying section of Ver mont, near tho New York state line. My school was not so very far distant from my own home, which was in a small Vermont city, but it was far enough to render it necessary for me to "board around" in the usual country school marm style. The school term extended over four months, and each succeeding month I be came tho gii3st of ditleront family. With the first three I ivas fairly well content and tolerably comfortable, but when I took up my residence for inv last month 1 was de cidedly uneasy and dissatisfied with my surroundings. Tho household consisted of a tolerably wealthy old widow lady and her son, tho latter beuia; tho objectionable party. He was, in size, a giant, an i v.:s, perhaps, 30 years old. He d.cbed much better than most Vermont formers, and took much pride in his personal appearance; but he could not conceal the fact that he was coarae, illiterate and brutal. I hated him cry cordially from the first moment that .ny eyes rested upon him, and yet from that .-.ame first moment George Randall was un ceasing in his efforts (which, I am thank ful to say, were mostly unsuccessful) to pay me marked atteut ion. Although the Randalls' home was a long half mile from the school house, I steadily roiusod to be driven by my host in his car nage, and all through tho muddy April weather I persistently walked the tiresome distance daily. I also declined sundry offers of George Randall's escort to church, to social gatherings and to village dances. It w;is strange perversity on my part, for all tho Snakeville girls tolerated Randall and willingly accepted bis company; but, in my eyes, he was peculiarly ofzensive, and I felt, by intuition, that the time would some day arrive when I should prove my dislike to be well founded. I possessed another very ardent admirer at Snakeville. Of course, my pupils in cluded tne usual strange variety to bo found in a country school, but there was ono scholar who interested mo particularly. He was a lad a young man who must have been two years older than myself, whose education had beeu somewhat neg lected in his isrli"r l.it. IIiv.-ii. nnlv a countrr bov. a farmer's son unassuminc nad rather shy. Charlio Champneys was not unduly quick or sharp, and yet, in some ways, he wa peculiarly bright and apt to learn. Ho wjls very much deformed and a cripple, generally known in tho neighbor hood as "Hunchback Charlie." I was genuinely interested in this my big gest and oldest pupil, and I gave him, as his teacher, more attention than was his legitimate share. Indeed, I was so much interested in him that I encouraged him to come up and see mo ovening-, s-o that we could go ovor his studies more carefully than ochool hours permitted. He did come often, much to George Randall's chagrin, though the latter might easily have per ceived that I c red nothing for Charlie, bo ing merely interested in him as a diligent, painstaking pupiL Quito often, jvfter we finished our studies, I would read from booKs to Charlie, or, by his request, sing one of my sonrrs, accom panying myself on Mrs. Randall's choice mano the only one in the neighborhood. And all the time, while I never once dream ed about caring daaply for Charlia Champ neys, it never crossed my mind that per chance he might, possibly, haru to think more of ma than would be good for his poaco and comfort. But at last the truth was forced upon me. For ono Sunday sveniug In May, about two days before I waa to loarb Snakeville, very shyly and with much diffidence and stam mering, Charlie told me thkt he loved me, and I laughed at him! Ho was serieus ouough and very much in earnest. I knew that full well. But I treated the whole affair as a huge joke and made fun of the poor fellow until he cpuhl stand it no longer, but, blushing like a Hirl, left me hastily. And fr;r that scorn ful, laughing, mocking, thoughtless dis missal of a manly lover tendering me a epod, genuine, honest love 1 have been sorry ever since.

"I say, you will marry me," he repeated, while with his left hand he grasped my right arm so tightly as to cause me consid erable physical pain. I saw that I must say something. "ilr. Randall, surely you would not in sult and assault a helpless girl?" "Insult you? No, curse you!" he said. "It is you who Insult, for you have snubbed me on every possible occasion since you came to Snakoville. Insult you? Pshawl I return good for evil. I say, you will marry me!" "You are mistaken," I replied. "If you Intend by your strange language to do me the honor o requesting me to marry you, I regret that I must decline. Please drive on." "Ah!" he almost hissed. "No, I cannot force you to marry me, but I can I can make you yield me those sneering lips of yours for a whilo! Yes, you Bhall" One of his strone arms was thrown around me, drawing me all unwillingly tc liis side. His other hand held me as in a vise, lis bent his face to me, and I could almost feel his lips upon mine. 3ut he did not kiss me. Some ono sprang upon the wagon and struck Randall a vio lent blow upon the head, and, before the brutal fellow could collect his scattered senses, he was tossed out of the wagon on to the roadside. The opportune arrival was the cripple, Charlie Champneys. My deli verer spoke a word to Randall.who was not seriously hurt, and then drove mo on to the depot. He did not say very much, nor did I, though I felt like telling him a groat deal; when the train drew up we said good-by, and I never returned to Snakeville. Two.years later I spent my summer vaca tion v.ith some friends who resided in a Email town ou the shores of Lake George, within driving distance of the scene of my first efforts at teaching. I was exceedingly fond of rowing, and frequently spent whole days alone on the lake. Late in the afternoon of what had been an intensely hot day I started out in my littleskiff and pulled lazily along the shore. It was to pleasant that the time slipped by unnoticed, and for a long while I was un aware of the darkness which was slowly creeping over the water. "When I did per ceive the evening shadows they served to cover a more serious blackness which was alreadjr filling the western skies. Had I been weather wise I might have known that ono of those terrible summer storms, so common in lake regions, was about to break. The first intimation which I re ceived, however, was a slight fkish of light ning, followed by the low rumbling of thunder. I was, perhaps, three miles from the village and half a mile from the shore which at that point and at that time was covered by dense woods. I had always been afraid of lightning, and the sudden flash, added to my knowledge of the fact that I was alone on deep water, made me Try nervous. A more vivid flash lit up the darkened skies, followed by loud thunder, and before I had time to gather my last scattering senses a fearful wind storm blew, in ter rific gusts, over the lake. My frail boat spun round and round like a boy's top, so swiftly that the motion made me quite dizzy. It is wonderful that I was not up set, but in less thau two minutes the wind passed away and I found myself still safo in the boat, but without oars! And then the rain came. Xot in drops, but in solid sheets, while the blinding flashes of lightning and the incessant vol- leys of thunder mingled &o closely together that it was imDossible to tell which fol lowed the other. I cannot remember just what my thoughts were at that time; I wa. greatly frightened and believed that the time had como for ma to die. But I did not cry out, and I know I did not pray; I just sat tremblingly still. Out there, amid that weird storm music, it would have been quite impossible to dis tinguish tho splash of oars or the sound of voices. I heard and saw nothing until I felt my boat give a sudden lurch, after which I became conscious that I was being steadily rowed towards the shore. Then I heard a voice, which sounded strangely familiar to me, snyii.g, "Be brave, Mis-. I.rnnox, you are quite safe, now, and wo shall soon be ashore." Was I dreaming? Could it be Ah, ycsl For the lightning flashed that instant and revealed a face which I had not beheld sinco when, ono evening at a countrj depot, I curiously and gratefully gazed upon it whilo I bade its nvner farewell. It was tho face of Charley Champneys. Soon wo wero a&hcre, and at least safe from the danger of drowning. But the shelter which we were able to secure was very poor, being only a small deserted log cabin, the door of which had been carried away and whoso one window was entirely innocent of glas or shutters. Champneys, cripple that he was, almost carried mo to this velcomo refuge which, poor as it was, served to keep off the worst of tho rain. My rescuer piled up some largo stones upon which we sat down, side by side. Strange as it may seem, although we had not met for two years, we talked very lit tle; indeed, after the stones were arranged for our seat, we were quite silent, for the storm was so very loud and Gerce that con versation could only be carried on with difficulty. And yet as I sat there, soaked with the rain and terrified by the light ning, I was singularly content, for I knew, then and forever, that Charlie Champneys was more to me than an old friend. Presently the rain subsided somewhat, and the peals of thunder became less fre quent. It was in one of these bhort inter vals of comparative silence that I said: "You remember when we were last to gether?" "Yes," ho replied, and added, "but why speak of that" "Charlie!" I answered, "I have felt sorry i not for you alone, but for mysolf also I ever since. Without once seeing you or hearing from yo'i, 1 huve leaned to love you very much. If you still feel towards me as you did on that Sunday evening when you said you loved nic, take me, Charlie, we will love each other and" But again the thunder rolled and roared and cut off the remainder of what I said. When it ceased. Charley ocean again: "You must not talk so, Miss Lenox. I have seen for a lung time that I was foolish and seliit.li to tll you of my love. Yet, though I am so unworthy of you, I do love you truly. -uid for that reason I cannot ac cent any Mich sacrifice from ycu. But oh, Miss Ienox, oh. Ruth, my darling, if I may have one kiss while we are here to got her I will go away contented." I turned my face upward toward his, and Charlie bent forward to kiss me. But be fore our lips could meet, an awful shaft of lightning struck the hut we were in struck Charlie and the man who had saved my pride from insult and my life from sudden death, the man whom I loved too late, lay prone on the floor at my side.

New Orleans Times Democrat. A MYSTERIOUS FALL Being under a strict promise cot to men tion what I am about to relate until I had permission from my friend, and that per mission having now been given, I hasten to tell of a most peculiar occurrence that has been known to only a few. Chicago is a city where they build their structures after the style of the Tower of Babel or, in other words, they seem to try to reach the sky or heavens. Some of their buildings rise seventeen and eighteen stories in the air. Last June I first came to Chicago, and, with a friend, went to sec a mutual friend who was engaged in tho construction of a largo building. We found him in the seventh story. He was a young man, bright, energetic, and a great athlete. He also was in the habit of playing practical jokes. When we reached the room he was In he had just leaped upon the window sill in order to lower the sash, on account of a storm coming up, and he told us that ho would be with us in a minute. As he reached the sash he turned and begged us, for God's sake, to catch him and pull him down or he would pitch out. e simply laughed, thinking he was try ing to fool us. He pleaded and pleaded, and the more he pleaded the more we enjoyed it. He seemed as if he could not move, and looked as if ho was trying with all his power to resist falling out. My friend turned to me and said: "Jim's playing his part welL He ought to go en the stage." "He is, indeed," I replied; "but ho wont get the laugh on us this time." I had no sooner said this than great heavens! with ono unearthly yell Jim dashed out of the window to certain death; for wa could see no way Le could escape it after such a frightful fall. For over a minute we stood, looking hor rified at each other, not knowing what to do, and not being ablo to speak or move. With a simultaneous loud cry of dis tressed horror, we made a rush downstairs for the street, to find our poor, mangled dead friend. Down we ran, almost falling at every Btep we took, until we reached the street; but there, to our utter amazement, we saw nothing of our friend, and there was no commotion. The pedestrians were walking as usual, as if nothing had happened. Near by was a policeman, and we hur ried up to him and ask-u him if he had seen a man fall out of tlie window a few minutes ago, and what had been done with him. He looked at our frightened and death like countenances and said: "What are you giving me? Are you crazy, or trying to impose on me?" "Our friond has fallen from the seventh story of that building, and we want to find his body," we persisted. "Better go borne and go to bed and gef up sober!" sneered the officer, who would not believe our statement. We hung around the place till night, more or less questioning different persons, tho patrolman eying us suspiciously when ever he saw us. We scarcely slept that night, but talked and wondered over the mystery. Tho next day wo returned to the building and made more inquiries, but to no pur pose. The la3t time Jim had been seen waa when ho was going up stairs to that fatal room. We then went to his boarding house, but they had no information to give us. He had not been taken home, and they had not seen nor heard from him since the day be fore. "Ben, what does it mean?" said my friond, addressing me. "I don't know," I roplied. "Let us go to police headquarters and try to find out." When we reached there and told our bus iness they looked at us in amazement and suspicion, and assured us no such accident had ever happened, or they would have heard of it long ago. We did not know what to do, for no one believed our story. So we left, sad and bick at heart. "Ben," said my friend, "we both saw Jim fall out of tho window, did we not?" "Most assuredly we did, for it could not have been a hallucination," I replied. Days passed, but no tidings of Jim could we find. At last wo again presented ourselves at police headquarters, and stated that Jim had been missing for more than two weeks, and that something should be done. They then listened to us, but would not believe anything about his having fallen out of the window. The chief delegated a detective to look cJrc lmitter up, and h-6 acctrrapanied us to the building. When wc arrived there he got up on tha window sill and looked out and said: "No one could fall out such a distance without being instantly killed; and if any ono ever did fall out he would have been found. But what is this? Come up here!" We both got up on tho window sill and looked out. Ho pointed to a lot of tele graph wired that ran past the building some three stories below. "Look! do you sec how those wires are bent?" he asked. We did look, and saw the wires bent as if some heavy body had come in contact with them. "Gentlemen, your story may be true, after all. It's getting interesting. Now let's investigate, and see if he struck those wires, and if so what has become of him." About twenty or thirty feet from where the wires were bent stood an old frame house that had escaped the greet fire in 1STL We then went to the house in question, and by means of a ladder made a thorough examination of the roof, but could discover nothing. We uere about descending, I being the last. pi-fore leaving I took another look at the wires and roof, and saw something shining m the water gutter at the edge of the roof. I picked it up, and to my surprise I found it was a Masonic mark, and. upon exam ination, discovered Jim's name engraved upon it. I called the officer aad my friead back, and told them I had discovered a dew, and showed them the Masonic mark. We then came to the conclusion tha; when he struck the wires with such force the rebound had thrown hia upoa tbe roof. But where did be co the Fair white hands. Bright clear complexion oft healthful PEARS' Tha Great English We made a diligent search and interro gated people in the house, but could get no Information. "Well," said the officer, "this is a mys tery as great a one as that of the killing of Doctor Cronin. Of course he must be somewhere, living or dead. But where? How could he get away from here without anyone knowing it? We have asked every one, but to no purpose. We will try again and see what we can glean." After further questioning and cross ques tioning, and not being able to discover any thing new, we were about leaving, when a beautiful, intelligent looking young lady appeared, whom we had not before seen. "Who is that young lady?" asked the officer of another of the inmates. "Oh, she is old Doctor Simmons' daugh ter, that lives up in tho garretl" was the answer. "Her father is a queer old man, and never goes out of the house, and she only goes out to get something to eat. They have lived here for years. The doctor owns the house, and rents out all but the garret, where he and his daughter live." "Well, we must examine her, for for mality's sake at least, but I don't suppose Bhe knows anything about your friend," the officer said to us, as he turned to the young lady, and continued: "Miss, did you Bee, or do you know, anything about an accident a gentleman met with here about two weeks ago?" The young lady stopped, looked fright ened, and her face flushed to such an extent as to make it noticeable to every one stand ing around as she answered: "I I do I have to answer?" "Yes, you will have to answer," replied tho officer, with an eager look. "What do you know?" "I I don't know. I cannot tell." "Now seo here, miss, you must answer or I shall have to lock you up until you do answer." "I I am afraid. My father" Here she stopped again. I then spoke to her iu a kind way, and told her that the gentleman who had met his death was my most particular friend, and that I would like to get some informa tion in regard to him, and that no harm could como to her or her father it sho told all she knew. "He i& not dead!" she stammered. "What! not dead?" wo cried. "Where is he?" "Upstairs with my father, who is attend ing to him. He is too weak to move." At this wo made one bound to the stairs, the young lady calling after us not to harm her father. We pushed into the room, and there we found our frieud lying on a comfortable couch, with an old, decrepit man bending over him in the act of administering some medicine. The old man did hot seem surprised at our abrupt entrance, but turning to us, with his finger to his lips, motioned us to retire. It was dono in such a commanding way that instinctively we backed out and he followed. When the door was closed he told us to speak in whispers, for the gentleman was very sick. He then told us, in his own peculiar way, that during one afternoon, a little over two weeks ago, he and his daughter had been startled by a loud crash iu the loft above the room they wero sitting in; that a largo piece of ceiling had brokon through, and that on looking up they had been horrified at seeing a man's arm hanging through the opening. Upon going up to investigate ho had found the gentleman who w:is now lying in the room, and supposed he was dead. lie, with the assistance of his daughter, had brought him down, and after a careful examination coucludod that life was not extinct. He being a physician, though not having practiced for a number of years, de cided that, as the Lord had sent him a pa tient, it was his will that he should save his life, and so he had devoted all his time and skill to accomplish that object. Now he was satisfied that with the most tender and proper nursing the patient would recover, though no one could bo al lowed to see him for several days for fear nil chance of recovery would fail. And this was the reason he had eo positively forbid den his daughter to say anything about it, oven to the people in tha house. The mystery was now solved. Jim had struck the telegraph wires in falling from the window, and the rebound had thrown him into tho open scuttle of the doctor's liuse, which had been left open to let in Svme air. There is nothing more to bo told except that in due course of time Jim recovered; tbjit the fall, so miraculous, elevated him from a bachelor to a Benedict; and that tha doctor's handsome daughter and Jim's gentle nurse is now Mrs. Jim.

Wild animals bold enough to make an unprovoked attack upon a man are very rare now in the older states; but a Penn sylvania exchange reports a bingular ad venture of a Mr. Honor one day. He was driving through Stony Creek ravine in a buggy with canopy top when his horse suddenly shied out of the road. As Mr. Hanor reined tho horse back he saw a long bodied animal creeping through the copse toward the carriage. Before ho had timo to make up his mind what kind of a beast it was tho animal crouched and sprang at the buggy. It landed in the roadway opposite a point between tho wheels, having seemingly checked its leap on account of the canopy, the fringe of which fluttered. The horse snorted and plunged ahead, and the strange animal crept along and made soveral moves as if it meant to spring into the carriage. It constantly oyed the fluttering top, and seemed to be afraid to make tho spring, snarling a little as it kept alongside of the wagon. Seeing that tha beast was bent on following him, Mr. Hanor picked up his whip and dealt it two cuts with tho lash, thinking that it would then clear out. When the lash cut it on the head the second time the animal gave vant to three oar piercing screams, and Mr. Hanor then realized that he was dealing with a pan ther. He had the hor:e well under control, with the linv in his loft hand, and as the panther followed and kept screaming he lashed it again, and it darted to tbo rear of tho buggy and leaned to the right side, where Mr. Ha.nor lushed it a half dozen times. Again it acted es If it would spring upon him, and fearing that it would finally do so Mr. Hanor thraw dovrn his whip, pulled off his right mitten, unbuttoned hia over coat, pulled out his six shooter and fired four times at the panther. Each bullet took effect, and tho beast rolled into tha ditch and died. Unlucty Says. Many people are superstitious about "un lucky" days and placet until some ooca- sion arises that makes them ardently de sire to do something on nz. unlucky day or In an unlucky place, and then their curi osity or cupidity makes them forget their superstition. A circurastance at the great Paris exposition cf 13 v.-tll illustrated this fact. The receipts at tho exhibition were mncV smaller on Fridays than they were on otaer days. The avoragu number cf people attending was smaller by eomc 15.C00 on this thx;n on other days of the week. On one Friday the admissions fell off to about 30,000, which was the fimalkwt number admitted on any one day during the exhibition. But on a certain other Friday the admis sions rose to more than 200,000, and the halls were crowded. The day's attendance was one of the largest during the entire ex hibition. What wan it that made the Pa risians and their visitors forget their su perstitions for at least one Friday? It was the occasion of the first visit of the shah of Persia. It might be bad luck in tho opin ion of mtny thousands of people to start out to go to tbe exhibition on Friday, but tbe visit of a potentate who called himself the "king f kings" and wora a coat quilt al with diamonds helped these people greatly to forget their foolish fear. For once the idle nonsense of the Friday super stition was overcome by tbe natural cari osity to &ee the shah. Montreal Star. A Great Kinder Earrjr lire. Mme.
