Howard, of BunApn, an old time Kansas stock man, has- icceplwl a position as -raveling agenty fc,tu Uick.yards com pany, i f From tho Trade Dullelvp.1" It is estimated that tiestotks of provis ions at the close of themontfa will show about 150.000 barrels mtos? .pork, 45.000 tierwslard, and 34,000,000 pounds short ril sides. During the last week sixteen steamers Tom the United States Jind Canada landed in Liverpool G.500 head of cattle, 1,000 fcheep and 1S.0O0 quarters of dressed beef, an incrau-e of over 1.000 cattle ttnd over 4,000 quarters for tho corresponding period last year. The Cincinnati Price Current reports the packing of the principal points in the west j or the week at 300,000 hoes, against 245.000 for -he corresponding week in 1SSP an in crease of So.OOO. Since tho opening of the season the increase is 4o0,000 hogs, or about lb per cent. The Cincinnati Prico Current summar izes tho wheat crop as follows; "The gen eral status of the winter wheat crop in the central states is not much changed, sec tions previously unmvoniple maintaining discourasiug. reports as a mile. Some in stances are more cheerful. Ohio is fully maiutained; Indiana is nitJter more dis couraging; Missouri Jind Kansas not much changed. The outlook for spring wheat crop is decidedly encouraging. Corn is not decidedly unfavorable but. needs more warmth Jind less moisture. Oats are do ing fairlv. The week's business at the yards has not been quite as heavy as last week but the month just closed shows a handsome increase over April. The hog market has fluctuated considerably but closes about Rtcady. The cattle market has been a little tough during the past three days, but prices havo not suffered as much on this market as at Kansas City. The market has steadied down and was more reliable 3 esterday afternoon. The receipts for the month just closed were G.309 cattle and 30,132 hogs a gain over the previous month of 2,363, or 50 per cent and 13,195 hogs a gain of 57 per cent which is an immense increase for so thort a time. The gain for May, 1S00, over the corresponding month of last year is as follows: 5,141 cattle an increase of 440 per cent and 23,552 hogs an increase of 187 per cent. The above figures are self evident that "Wichita is fast getting to the front as -a live stock market and will, within a few months, overtake, yes, and surpass many of the older and larger markets of the country. The packers have also heen very busy all the week, killing and curing the hogs which have come to the market. Or ders have been coming in lively for hog products. The combined shipments of the two packing houses for the week were fifty-five car loads, or an average of more than nine a day. This immense amount of business requires the handling of a great amount of money and if the increase keeps up, "Wichita's weekly clearings will soon reach a million dollars. LIVE ST00K MAEKET.

A kcWLidtil?t JP&xIb gagljc: Jforaffag IPtfrttitrrj, xmt lf 1890 j. T. M. MfltDOCK. Trtifor. Dr. Krohn says the equivalent of aenos tic is ignoramus. The Leavenworth 1 imes thinks there are a good many agnostic Democratic editors in this countrj Topeka Capital. True, as to the letter observation; and mores the pity that the "agnostics" are not all embraced in the class named. It is said that there are no less than a dozen candidates for Mr. Carlisle's seat in congress in the Covington, Ky., dis trict. This would seem to afford Thoebe u favorable opportunity. But. then, the Denis will hold will hold a convention, and that usually settles the question down there. From the account which an American ized Eussian, who returned to his native land and while there was arrested, gives, there is not as much of the mnch talked about Eussian prison cruelty as there is of the JS'ew York prison habits, recently exposed by the Herald. Evidently Eus eia is becoming civilized from Kennan's characterization of it. Mr. Blaine, it is reported, does not ex pect Grover Cleveland to be the Demo cratic nominee for president in 1892, but thinks David B. Hill wilLbe. He also mentioned Depew and not Harrison as the opposition. It is probable that Mr. Blaine does not forsee correctly, as the only state really strong for Hill is New York, and even that one might -fail him if Depew were his opponent. The paragraph that has been traveling nbout to the effect that the, venerable Allen G. Thurman has severed his con nections with the Democratic party is -denounced as absolutely unfounded. But it is probaly true that the old Roman will decline to cany the ponderous; Mr. 'Cleveland upon his shoulders througlian other campaign. He is now old enough to know when he has had enough. New York sees the celebration of more "national festal days than any city, not only of this country, but of the world. The Irish, the Germans, the Scotch, the English, the French, the Welsh, the Italians, even the Chinese, each have a dcy which they call their own, and which they celebrate with the ceremonies of fatherland, says the Star. Let us hope that all are Americans on the Fourth of July and observe that great day with the devotion which it deserves. The drop in the aggregate of the debts of the states from $2S2.000,000 in 18S0 to $228,000,000 in 1880, a falling off of 34, 000,000, wliich the census inquiry has just revealed, is a decidedly encouraging and creditable exhibit. The county debts of the country, however, have grown to the extent of 24,000,000 in the decade, which offsets to a slight extent at least, ihe gains in the other particular. But when the national finances are taken into the calculation the showing becomes more pleasing, for the reduction in the government obligations in the past ten years has been not far from 1,000,000, O00. "This snubbing of Republicans" said Colonel Hallovrell, of Wichita, in an inter view telegraphed to tho Kansas City Times, "will without doubt make hosts of Democrats, and from now on I am afraid Sedgwick county will be as strongly Dem ocratic as Leavenworth county." Well, if it should go Democratic it will bo owing chiefly to the shillyhs allying and to the spineless conduct of men of tho Hallowell ilk. Newton Republican. No it won't. It will simply be a natur al resentment of the dogmatic, autocratic, dictatorial, rule-or-ruin policy and con duct of the coterie which, wo regret to tee, our esteemed neighbor seems so will ing to serve. You can not and shall not ,ghift the responsibility for what you recognize is liable to occur as tho result of the peculiar methods of those with whom you train, in any such style of wasy abandon. You must stand to the rack. Globe-Democrat: "The directors of tho Atchison, Topeka Santa Fo rail road, in their address to tho stockholders concerning the purchase of tho Frisco jliue, dwell particularly upon tho fact hhat a connection with St. Louis is thus t secured. It is well known that such an outlet has always been desired by the managers of the Atchison system; and 'this latest deal is clearly calculated to be of great advantage- to St. Louis in several respects, particularly as to the trade with Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and tho Pacific coast." Unquestionable tho new arrangement will have tho effect indi cated iu tho foregoing, and it is equally clear that the same benefits and advan tages will inure to Wichita in proportion to ner advantage in point of contiguity to the territory and localities mentioned and her capacity to meet the demands of the trade. Dr. Buck, of tho silk station at Pea body, says that cocoons produced 'iK Kansas are superior in strength and fiber to those produced elsewhere in this country, and that they command 50 coins more on the pound. The "Western frilk association of this city expect to produce at least 5,000 pounds of this Superior silk fiom the first crop; perhaps twice as much from the second, and as much more of the sacred variety that is worth 40 cents a cocoon, or $25 a pound. And yet there are some persons, even in Kansas., who protend to regard the silk industry as a sort of child's play, with out any tiling to commend it to the at tention of anybody with a view to engag ing in it as a money making endeavor. It is altogether probable that the culture and manufacture of silk will in a few years bring more money to Kansas than her live stock or cereal crops. KAlSASIirBOSTON. Department Commander Collins of the G. A. R., says that the scheme for ad vertising Kansas at Boston is sure to go. and that they will send three car load of xople from Sabetha to the national en campment. Past Department Commander Milton Stewart of "Wichita is organising a special party for Boston, and will fill one Pullman sleeper with Wichita peo ple. Sedgwick county will go to the front at Boston. Major Sims is thoroughly in earnest regarding the agricultural display at Boston in August, says the Topeka Capital, and as soon as secretary Mohler returns to that city they will luaaire plans for making the collections for the display. A GRAIN MARKET. What It Means and What is Necessary to Establish It. A great deal has been said in these col umns about our grain market, and yet tho situation of Wichita in relation to the grain that surrounds her can hardly bo realized. What city in this country within two hours by rail in all directions has 73,000,000 bushels of grain tributary to her? Has any growing metropolis over been similarly situated? We believe not. There is a great harvest for Wich ita, and she must not fail to reap it. What we need and what we must have is elevators. It has been the policy of our people to push out and develop busi ness. iere is a Dusmess iuliy de veloped, only awaiting tho proper facilities to take care of it. These, with a well organized chamber of commerce, would make this city one of the recognized grain markets of this country, wliich would mean to Wichita just what a grain market has been to St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneap olis and other western cities, the very el ement of their success and growth; and it would mean much more to "Wichita, as those markets in their infancy paid trib ute to other and larger markets, while Wichita today, by reason of her geograph ical location, can supply more import states directly than any other grain point. Properly inspected and graded grain to day can be shipped direct to Memphis and all points south and east of Wichita at a less freight cost than via St. Louis. A great deal of Kansas grain is now shipped to Chicago, thence by lake to New York, and by water to the coast towns of the south; while Wichita from her location and rail road facilities can reach the same points by but little if any greater rail haul than from southern Kansas to Chicago. Shall such a condition of affairs con tinue: bhalf we continue to send our products north when we know they are needed and ultimately go south? Not only have we a great southeastern mar ket, but Texas and Arkansas are large customers for all we produce, yet they draw largely from St. Louis because of her well organized grain market. And ve have still another field that we should occupy unmolested. The west Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Ari zona need the products of this country, a large portion of wliich in past j'ears they have drawn from Kansas City, the same grain having been shipped from Kansas to Kansas City and then shipped back across this state because we have never centralized our supplies at home, graded, inspected it and let the consumers know that it could be had upon a business basis. Tliis is a.matter of vital import ance to our city, and we feel its import ance is not fully understood. Grain is never handled in large quan tities until grades and inspections are agreed upon, and grades and inspections are made by organizations known as boards of trade, or chambers of com merce, bnaii we continue to snip our grain to St. Louis to be graded and in spected to be re-shipped south when wo could reach tho destination point direct at a saving of 5 to 7 cents per hundred pounds in freight? Last year was a wonderfully product ive one for Kansas, but take the last fif teen years (and that about covers the agricultural existence of Kansas) and they show no failures of crops, and but threo half crops in what is known as the grain belt. What state in tho union, what portion of any state, can make a like showing? We believe there is none. The immense business now awaiting facilities at this place will steadily increase, as but hardly one-third of our rich bottom lands are now in cultivation. By their energy, phick and liberality our people have established a live stock market that enables tho farmers of west ern and central Kansas to sell their hogs for more than they bring in central Ohio, Indiana or Illinois, because the hog pro duct does not have to seek an eastern market. The same, to a great extent, can be done for grain. We have not only tho direct home demand referred to, but with tho gulf to the south of us, but httlo over seven hundred miles distant with two trunk lines of railroad leading to it and others building, wo are as near export as Chicago or St. Louis. The question is shall we "continue to send our grain hundreds of miles out of its direct course that it may receive a trade mark, or shall we go into the busi ness ourselves and supply the home trade direct and export the balance? When we are able to do this what will be the results? We will have laid the founda tion for a larger city than the most vis ionary have predicted. We will have forever settled the inequality of the prices of our products. One of the strongest arguments used against our state is that we are too far from a market. It is granted that our soil and climate are unexcelled, but that transportation to a market eats up all the profits of the pro ducer. Let us take hold of tliis matter in a business way and send our stuff to its most direct market, then those argu ments fall to the ground, and land in Kansas will sell for as much as land in Iowa, Missouri or Illinois. Walter L. Frost, a director of the St. Louis San Francisco road, is quoted as saying that the purchase of the road by the Atchison is the best tiling that has happened in tlie southwest for years. It ought to be an easy matter for the con solidated property to earn a dividend on Atchison for 1890. and at least a 4 per cent one in 1S91, with reasonable crops. It is almost impossible, he adds, to figure what the Atchison system can do. Gross earnings of $8,000 per mile on an average are not at all impossible for 1S91. THE CENTROPOLIS OF THE SANTA FE RAILWAY. The Eagle finds pleasure in presenting to its readers the above outline map of the state of Kansas, divided into eight parts of one hundred miles square each, showing the lines now owned and operated by the Santa Fe Railway company, and the relative position of Wichita to these lines. In the eighth division in which Wichita is located, there are twice the number of miles of railway belonging to this great system within a radius of fifty miles of this city than that of any other point in the state, or in fact that of any other state in which it holds a charter. Topeka, the present capital of the state, situated in the north-east square and where the general offices of the company were located years ago when it had less than one hundred miles of road in operation, still has a smaller mileage of tliis system within tho given radius than some other less pretentious towns with one fourth the population than the capital city. It will be noticed that there are only a few miles of the Santa Fe system extends north of the center fine of the state, and that Wichita is virtually the central city of the whole system in Kansas. With the addition of the St. Louis San Francisco railway and the Wichita Western railway, Wichita at once becomes the most central and largest shipping point of diversified traffic on the entire system. With the "W. W. extended to Dodge City a new through route is furnished from St. Louis to Colorado and the Pacific coast, as well as a still shorter line between Colorado and Texas points via Wichita. The map is taken from plats of the system and is correct. It speaks for itself, and is equally as applicable to the agricultural and other business interests as to the railway. No more forcible and convincing argument could be produced in favor of Wichita's superior location for maintaining its prestige as the greatest interior commercial depot of the system. THE PRESS MEN AND THE PRINCESS. Now that the Press Gang of northern Kansas have returned homo from their southern tour of recreation the individ ual members are each giving the readers of their papers an account of the trip wlmt they saw and Avhere they saw it. Here is what Mr. Lewis, the representa tive of the Clay Center Dispatch, saw and experienced in Wichita while the party were here and tho estimate of the city that these helped him to: "The first stop was made at the historic town of Wichita, where the party was met by the genial citizens and driven through the principle portions of the city. A for mal reception was afterwards held at the magnificient board of trade building, where the mayor, on behalf of the city, welcomed the visitors, which was re sponded to by Governor Riddle of tho as sociation, with that happy humor charac teristic of that gentleman. Well may the citizens of Wichita be proud of their forest-grown city. Her mammoth packing houses, her acres of stockyards, her magnificient public build ings, her mansion residences, her elegant homes, a wilderness of grandeur and beauty attest the fact that fortunes have not been spent here in vain, nor Wichita gone busted with her boom. It's all there." The Downs Times' clever editor con tributed the following as his salaam to the Princess in the same connection: "Wichita did herself proud in the splen did drive she gave our people through her elegant shaded avenues, immense blocks of business houses, both wholesale and retail, and out to the packing houses of Whitta ker Son and Jacob Dold, which employ a vast army of disciplined workmen. We were so fortunate as to be taken in charge by Peter Getto, a wholesale boot and shoe merchant, and who iias been a resident of the place for nineteen years and has seen it grow from a mere handful of houses to one of tho most prominent cities of tho west. Here we ran across onr old friend, Will DTearst, who is in attendance at the Southwestern business college. He looks hale and hearty and seems to be enjoying his school pursuits. Before their departure eacli editor was supplied with a copy of the daily Eagle, one of the foremost jour nals of the state and adjoining territory." Editor Waterman of tho Delphos Ee publican stopped in tho city on the re turn trip and spent three days visiting friends and taking in the city more in detail. From his two-column narrative we excerpt the following: The city of Wichita is doing a vast amount of public work in street and other improvements, and has quite an army of people constantly employed. Many fine school buildings Ave found here and another to cost nearly 100,000 was in course of erection. Tho county is building a one-half-million dollar court house, the city a quarter-million city hall, while several miles of jasperito paving is being laid in the principal streets. One feature of the city struck our fancy, and that was the largo maple and cottonwood trees lining the streets, the branches arching over and meeting at tho top, forming a canopy so cool and delightful to the prairie dweller. It is no trouble to grow trees in Wichita, as their roots have plenty of water, reach ing a flowing stream within from three to five feet of the surface. A visit to the ice factory furnished our first experience in the manufacture of ic. and we never saw a jmrer quality, Our-ncxt visit: was to theL water .worts, which we found equipped with first class machinery, capable of supplying twelve million gallons per day. the monster Holly pump throwing 1500 gallons at every stroke, the supply being practically inexhaustible, clear and cold. The water I rates are very low in comparison with other cities. The electric car line: the Burton car works, six miles north of the city, and through tiie courtesy of Gen eral Superintendent Caswell, we were shown the inside workings of this mam moth concern. Here is manufactured the celebrated Burton palace stock car. The plant consists of five large brick shops covering about two acres oach,and many smaller wooden ones. The ca pacity of the shops is 2,000 men. but were only using 500 when we were there. It is an establishment of wliich any city in the land might justly feel proud. The pride of Wichita is lier packing houses and they are certainly the most prolific source of profit possessed by the "Peerless Prince&s."' We were taken out to and inspected them, tlie Jacob Dold institution at a distance, but went through and all over the Whittaker os-1 tablishment. which, owing to an acci dent to part of the machinery, was not killing. ?jut the cutting room was a perfect beehive of industry where a con tinual stream of hogs, in halves, were poured ouv upon one end of a large table and ramie out at the other end of it liams. shoulders, side meat hock and sausage. These establishments make their own ice a.nd it was almost like a trip to the north pole to go through their coolinr and naekhM: rooms. The "windy wonder" possesses many J features of much greater solidity than wind, and is destined to be one of the great cities of the west, having no rival close enough to hinder her growth ENGLAND'S MENTOR. It must be a source of considerable gratification to Explorer Stanley to re ceive the homage of those who a few short years ago were ready to malign him and discredit his work. England is at his feet and he carries a high head on his shoulders now. An im periousness that his success would seem to justify characterizes him, and whether it is in keeping a dinner party waiting or in vigorously condemning England's vacillating African policy, he is equally self-assertive. He is master of the situa tion so far as criticism is concerned, and the tone of some of his recent utterances makes him the Thersites of Great Britain. His labors and his knowledge of Afri can affairs gives him tho right to speak with authority, and it is not surprising that the present situation tries his pa tience sorely. He sees the fruits of his toil slipping away from him and his English friends. He knows that he can expect no consideration from Germany, and that the influence of his one-time patron, King Leopold, of Belgium, is on the wane. His sole dependence in the future must be upon England, whither the inexorable logic of events has driven him. But Germany is assuming an unusually aggressive attitude in regard to African affairs, and is reaching out for new terri tory with eager and capacious hands. Apparently the English government is lukewarm, and hence the bitter words of Staidey. It is not likely that this condition of things will continue. England has never been long inert when the acquisition of new territory was concerned. It may be accepted as one of the certainties of the future that she will come in for her full share of African spoils. And Stanley is not to be left out of con sideration in this partition. He will play his part in the conquest of the Central African Empire. The glorias of Lord Stanley of Africa may yet eclipse those of Lord Clive of India. A TRIP ACROSS THE STATE. From the Dodsc City Times. The representative of the Times has just returned from a trip across the state. Tho prospects for crops in sections through which we passed, were excel lent, except the wheat in the lowlands along the Walnut river, which showed the effect of the late hard frosts in that vicinity: the peculiarpart of it being that while wheat seemed to be badly injured, grapevines, roses and other tender vege tation, showed no bad effects from tho frost. So far as we could observe from the car window as we passed along, corn and oats looked well, but seem to be con siderably later than in ordinary seasons. The Kaw valley from Topeka to Kansas City has on its spring dress, and to our eye was as beautiful as a dream. The country between Newton and Wich ita is very fine and in a high state of cul tivation. There is a considerable amount of old corntili in the hands of farmers of .that section. Wichita is looking her best." Many fine residences in this beautiful ciey are completely embowered in forest trees, and we think the appellation of Forest City as appropriate as "Peerless Prin cess.' They have two large packing houses and ample stock yards and genial, whole-souled men at the helm. If they treat all strangers with the Eame cordial politeness that the scribe received we do not blame them for repeating the visit as often as occasion will allow. THE WILD WEST NO MORE. A short time since Mr. J. H. McClung, editor of the Munice, Ind., Daily Times, made a tour of the west, taking in Okla homa and southern Kansas and the me tropolis of the southwest in his journev- ings. On his return home he gave the i readers of Ins excellent paper a very faitliful and comprehensive account of liis trip, making his statements in the j nature of a comparison of the country i twenty years and at the present tune. The following extract from the Times article will be read with interest bv all and with special satisfaction by those in interest: "The opening of the new territory south of Kansas and its rapid settlement by people from every portion of the union has had the effect of neutralizing the half savage life of the new country and of raising all the southern and south western portions of Kansas to the condi tion of the older settled -states, and now modern towns and cities and elevated, refined society are found where a few short years ago U was, known as "the wild and woolly west." The cultivated I east may as well understand now that in all the triumphs of art and science she has a worthy competitor in the magnif icent west, whether she has sent so much of her best intellect, her strongest muscle and her millions of wealth. In Southern Central Kansas there has sprung up a wonderful city, iri which there are all the evidences of cul ture and refinement of the oldest cities of the continent, and one that is destined to become the great metropolis of the beautiful Arkansas valley and draw to its great marts the commerce of the new territories from the Arkansas to the Bed river on the south. Already its whole sale trade is being extended into Okla homa and all over Western Kansas and it is without a rival for beauty of situa tion, for the number and solidity of its business blocks and the magnificence of its private grounds and dwellings. Twenty-two years ago the writer was upon the same spot. Then there was but one solitary cabin "on all the vast plain" and but one entry of public land had been made. Then the wolf the buffalo, the antelope and deer roamed the plain unmolested except by the savage Indian and the white scout who occasionally crossed the coun try from the north enroute to Texas. Two years afterward tho city was staked off and the development has been such as to astound the occasional visitor and fill the citizens with pride. Churches, school houses, colleges, elec tric railways, palatial private residences, in short all the modern conveniences of our highest civilization are visible where but a few years ago savage life alone was found. It is wonderful, and yet characteristic characteristic of the matchiess and indomitable purpose of the American people and their ability to "make the desert blossom as the rose." Aside from the social features of the visit at Wichita, wliich were of the most delightful character, the visit to West side, Eiverside, fascinating Fairmoun4, and numerous public places of interest well repaid us for the time spent. Cer tainly the people of wondrous Wichita are proud of past achievemenes and just ly hopeful of future greatness. Of the population, the workings of prohibition and other matters of general interest we may have something to say in a future article." SUNFLOWER SHIMMER. The Oxford Mocking Bird has changed hands molted, as it were. There is talk of Noble Prentis going back to the Atchison Champion. Now that the worlds fair commissioners have been appointed, all they want is the fair. Congressman Peters has recovered from his heart trouble and is back in his seat in the house. The Kansas City Times seems to bo hav ing a hard time to get over the effects of its Ingall's sensation. Will Stotler is now working on the Wel lington Press, bub anybody who knows Will and reads the Press need not to be told this. Fort Scott has a plaza. Fort Scott is about the only town in the state that would indicate that Kansas ever bordered on Mexico. The Kansas delegation had better dele gate one of the afflicted members to visit Entomologist Snow and be examined for whito fungus. It has been so long now, that the chances are if somebody should ask Governor Esk ridge all of a sudden, what he was fighting Ingalls for, he couldn't tell him. The recently appointed postmaster at Leavenworth didn't have enough interest to vote at the last presidential election. This is a wonderful instance of what silence will do. A Fort Scott man has invented a ma chine attachment for working button holes automatically. What Kansas wants is a good strong button hole that no shin gle nail can tear. Six of the present teachers in the Well ington schools will lead husbands to tho altar during vacation. Tho most popular way to Matrimony in Wellington is by the birch rod and spelling book route. The Atchison Champion is accused of trying to resurrect Biake. the weather prophet. What with the Reynolds affair, its slaps at the Senator and this last act, the Champion has had to bear some pretty hard accusations of late. Tho Lawrence Journal complains that the doctors of that place do not advertise. The many evidences of their skill sprad dling around about the streets of Law rence, the profession probably think, ren der advertising unnecessary. "I think the Republicans should turn out the old crowd that is in office now and put up a ticket made up entirely of new men both state and congressional," Dan Anthony is reported to have said. The state at large will be surprised to learn that a musical animosity exists be tween Lawrence and Topeka. It will now be necessary for the respective cities to de termine which is the "tweedledee" and which is the "tweedledum" of such an un fortunate case of kakophony. The editor of the Coffeyville Journal says "editora can bear mere ridienld than J any other class of men." For this- editor's t sake and the freedom of such humiliating declarations we do hope that his circum stances will permit him, some day, to add aback stairway to the Journal office. EXCHANGE SHOTS. A Practical Wichita Woman. From the K. C Tini. Mrs. Ella Shields, of Wichita, has made a study of the silk industry for a long tim? and tlk, in a recent number of the Housekeeper, what she knows it. There are lots of other women in the state who have made a study of silk, but they confine their observations on the subject to their drecmakr. Decoration Day.

It was a victory vron in its line which was the result of considerable hard work of the quiet kind. It was no brass band effort but a steady pull. It would be needless, of course, to say that there were a number of applicants. From a letter written by a congressman it is learned that there were "at least one hundred fel lows" who would have accepted it and were "being urged by their friends." A number were out for the appointment without any modesty and making the light boldly. There were some from Indi ana, of course, but the applicants were mostly from Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver, Ft. Worth, Dallas, Alburqurquo and in short from the western J. G. 31 COT. cities. A few from eastern points, but it was long ago believed that an easter-man, being far away from the "cattle ranges," and as a rule, knowing little about the business, -would not have much of a show to succeed. The division of strength Iv, most of the cities named was a featur e which all the time was estimated as favor able to Wichita with a single candidatj. Mr. McCoy secured as an endorsrjient a number of tho leading business, men here, who -were not only willing o"nd anx ious that he personally shouldnave tho position, but also had an eye the fact that it would bo of value and. Importance to the city for Mr McCoy to succeed in se curing the position. Tho 'applicant was not especially anxious to bnve tbeoppoi tjon from his own town ard did not herald the fact that there was such apposition to be filled, and. invife a division of strength. His friends who were sup porting him were also of the opinion that one sheep might ditch a train and could fully understand that it was to the best interest of the city to work united for one as. against other cities with th'Ir many candidates. The result was Mr McCoy was appointed on the 20th of last month, received his commission Thursday and took tho required oath j eaterday morning and mailed tho neces sary papers to the department, which when they are received will completed tho preparatory red tape and he will be ready to turn his attention to the duties of the office. The cattle ranges to be covered by the enumeration may be located by saying they are west of the one hundreth merid ian, the west line tho Seirra Nevadas, Rio Grcnde on the south, north to the British possessions also including the Indian ter ritory, ;i field in Louisiana, Ala bama, Georgia and Florida. Tho enumeration is taken only on the ranges, where live stock graze all tho year, and does not include tho agricultural rejona The area included is over half tho "Tinted States, and a glance will be reward ed, with the suspicion that the task is not a small one and the Avork very important, and the information, if reliable, of great value, not anly to the cattle interest, but to the country in general. This territory is divided into ten district5:. They may be roughly outlined as follows: First Texas, except the Panhandle. Second Indian territory and Panhandle of Texas. Third East one-third of Colorado, east border of Kansas and Nebraska, and terri tory of Wyoming. Fourth Eastern part of the Dakotas and eastern Montana. Fifth Western Montana, Idaho and eastern Washington. Sixth Nevada, Utah and west one-third of Colorado. Seventh Southeastern Colorado, west ern Arizona. Eighth East Arizona. Ninth Territory of New Mexico. Tenth Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana. i There vviirbe ten agents in the field, one' for each district. They will Ijo recom mended, by Mr. McCoy and according to ihe rule in such matters the appointments u ill conform to his recommendation. In .electiiiK tho men to do the work in tho Held especial attention will be given to the fitness of the men for the work. It is hoped by the supervisor to secure informa tion that will result in a report that will lo quite as complete and valuable as the department hopes it will be and sup ply all the information that could be desired or be of value in the department. It will probably be some days before the list is prepared and submitted to the de partment. The month of June will be spent by Mr. McCoy in traveling over the field and giving personal attention to the work. He hopes to bo able to visit every Fection comprised in his department within the month and in this way cot a complete idea of what is to be found, what sort of information can bo secured and at what cost of time and money. When he has completed the tour bf inspection ho will return and be ready to superintend the work from this point, and room will be fitted up in the government building especially for the work, and a letter received yesterday states that tho interior department is making ar rangements to provide office and all neces sary blanks and stationery, and have ev erything ready by the time it will be pos sible to commence tho work. The information desired to be secured by this branch of the department consists iu not only giving number of different ages, but also to find out something of the dif ferent grasses in the various sections-, poi sonous herbage, water facilities, expense of production in various localities market facilities, cost of marketing, and any other information that may seem of value. The census department prior to the tenth census had given no attention 7 to live stock but confined itself to people. This branch was organized at that time and the fact was developed that a bullock costing three or four dollars to produce was selling for forty and fifty dollars. The result was a great boom in cattle and in crease in production. The boom in cattle brought millions of money west for a few years, until followed by overproduction, and the boom dropped and tho depression for a time as emphatic almost as the increase in value but a short time before. The overproduction resulted in sending two or three hundred thousand head of cattle annually to Europe seeking foreign market. It is estimated that it will take the field workers from three to si;c months to secure the data required. This will be sent to the office hero and from it the re port made out, calling for many pages of written matter and innumerable tables. It would be difficult to estimate how long it would take to complete the report for the department, but it is thought that it will certainly take all of the present year and far into the next. In tho tenth census the Hon. Clarance Gordon, of Newberg, N. Y., had charge of the department and Mr. McCoy was in the field, having been assigned tho Indian territory. His first report was more than satisfactory, giving more information than was anticipated by tho experiment, as it was at that time. As a result Mr. McCoy was given the work in the Panhandle of Texas, western third of Kansas and New Mexico. His name appears frequently in the report and his work was most highly complimented by Mr. Gordon. This prow d most valuable in the contest for his pres ent appointment. In addition to this, and the Wichita support he was highly recom mended by many of the leading cat?'iemen throughout the country and also by some of the United States senators aid repre sentatives. Over twenty-three years ago ?Jr. McCoy moved from Central Illinois to Abilene, Kan. He originated the ide?. of tho Abi lene trail and went rtown to St. Louis and presented tiie scheme to tho management of the Uniov. Pacific. They looked at him with amazement and thought it the wildest scheme ever heard on earth or anywhere o'ise. They entered into a contract abojt cattle shipments, however, and allowe1 Mr. McCoy to spend his own money on a corps ot engineers to locate the trail leading to Texas, in that day supposed to tyemanj- thousand of miles away. It was in. '07 the corps passed south through Wichita, Wellington and Cald well and down through tho territory into Texas. Very soon tho Texas cattle were grazing nortnward, and in due time reached Abilene ani the freight department of the Kansas Pacific commenced to hear from the wild scheme. Suffice it to say that over foir million head of cattle came north over tle Abilene trail. In '72, owing to the toct that the Kansas Pacific manage ment lailed to comply with the contract, Mr. McCoy commenced to work for top pingand turning the cattle to Wichita. '17)0 Santa Fe liad just reached here and t'ae leading citizens here went to 'work earnestly and Abilene lost tho trade and it came to Wichita. During the first year 3,7-10 car loads of cattle left Wichita over the Santa Fe and only 2,300 car loads went over the Missouri river by tho Kansas Pacific. As all tho old settlers will recall, the cattle days were quite important to Wichita and at that time Mr. McCoy was a leading cattle man and assisted Wichita in controlling the trade of that day.

On Tues day "Said Pasha" will be given, closing the engagement. The advance sale indi cates a large business, but aside from that the favorable impression made by the com pany on its last visit would insure it a warm reception from the theater goers of this city. The cast of "Said Pasha" is practically unchanged, the only altera tions being some additional strength in the chorus. Those desiring choice seats for the second night would do well to begin to think about the matter before it is too late. THEKLA. "Thekla" will be produced at the Craw ford Grand the second week of this mouth, for the benefit of the new Children's home. The exact date and program will be pub lished later. The management of this drama is composed of well known ladies, who know nothing about failure. The object of the entertainment will be sufficient to pack tho house, but it is in tended that the play shall have big draw ing qualities of itself. All those who take part give their services free and the opera house will be given free, and beyond ques tion the proceeds will make a good begin ning for the new home. Sometimes ama teur performances are given under the guise of being a benefit to some charitable purpose and although thoy are, the real spirit which actuates the performers is to glorify themselves. In tliis case the sole object is to raise funds for the new Child ren's Home, and with such an object in view every performer will forget their identity, and that alone will injure suc cess. The management will request that no mention be made of any feature of the pro duction unless it wins the approbation of the audience, in which case even the minor parts will receive favorable comment. "Thekla" gives a splendid scope for ability, and it is a well known fact'that the cast is made up of sufficient talent to please the most fastidious audience. LAWX SOCIAL. The ladies of the Guild will give a lawn fete, for the benefit of St. John's church, next Thursday night- at the residence of Captain Myers, on North Lawrence ave nue. Refreshments will be served. aiXEMOXICAL LECTURE. George W. James, F. 11. II.

Mr. James is a speaker of fiue oratorical powers, ready wit and genuine humor. He illustrates Mnemonical Science by inter esting experiments with his audience, and with a dozen young men after a few mo ments instruction, shows how the mem ory may be trained. Mr. James lectured on astronomy before the students of Gar field university with great success.

It is hard to explain to our enquiring customers why 6o cents is de manded for the same goods that the "Ar cade' only asks 50 cents for. Such a difference is difficult to explain, and if smoothed over once is very likely to make a permanent customer for the "Arcade."

Main Street Contemporary trade is large ly suggestive of shams. Mostly all you read in advertising col umns is sham reading, almost all goods spoken of have sham names, and the description of them is also a sham. Sociologists ought to study the question of the human love J tor shams. The scientific methods might help to sauare the dealer to meet shams. But all shams are not absolute falsehood. The truth may be tortured by the country parson "art of putting things.'" But there is a level headod majority, who can see a twen cy five per cent margin when i c is plainly put, and who rightly prefer to spend their own money in their own way.

"B is beeaase lam so little,"' she -whispered, ivhii a pathetic attempt at playful ness. "-And I haven't been a very good dasgfeter, my father"' "My dear child!" tho colonel faltered. "But I shall be a good daughter from this time. Only, let us stay on at this dear old hill. I don't want ever to go anywhere else.

"No, no," she protested, w-ith tearful laughter. "I am too full of joy to be ill! Oh, tell me all, quickly." "Not unless you promise to be calm," the colonel insisted. Winifred sat down. "I have been calm for years," said she; "let me be mad with joy now." Her father's eyes filled with tears. "You shall read for yourself," he said, as he put the letter into her hands. There were only three short pages, but theso were eloquent witb the desire for reconciliation. "Ah! let -as go to him at once!" cried WinifDed. "No, my daughter," tho colonel re plied, with sad decision; "Nicholas must come to me." "Yes, he most! he mnst! But write; write now! Say, 'My dearest son,, come home.' He is your 'dearest son,' you know," she urged, detecting a shadow on her father's face, "for you have no other." "You must leave mo to write my let ter in my own way," the colonel said in exorably. "Nicholas shall come home; but you must remember that he will not come alone." "No; you will havo two daughters." The colonel turned away, impatiently. Ho had never thought of Dosia Furnival as liis daughter; lie could not bring him self to think of her in that light now; but he could mako up his mind to accept her as his son'3 wife; and it was not Dosia'a advent that he dreaded; it was Miss Roxanna White against whom ho revolted. Fpr Roxanna the Inevitable, Eoxanna the Avenger, had written to the colonel; but, with characteristic reti cence, ho said nothing of this to Wini fred. It had never been Winifred's habit to confide her joys and sorrows to Miss Elvira, but now a sort of rage for sym pathy urged her to call on that gentle, inane lady to rejoice with her. She al most snatched the little worn book of de votions out of her aunt's hands, exclaim ing, with laughter and tears "Oh, let us give thanks to God with our whole heart; and out cf cur hearts, not out of a book! For my brother that was lost is found again!" "Winifred!" said Miss Elvira, with mild rebuke. "It is unladylike to be so forcible." "Brer Nicholas haven't you heard?"' "Yes; I havo heard," "Miss Elvira sigh rid, in answer; "that ig why I went to my devotions." Then Winifred saw that she had been weeping. "Surely you r?joice?"' eho asked, trembling; for it frightened her to real ize what hatred and anger waited to rage in her heart against whoever should re fuse to rejoice at her brother's return. Mi63 Elvira turned her eyes away. "Tho old joy died," bho said, sadly, "when Nicholas rodo away in the rain that summer night, nearly nine years ago. It can never come again." "You are cruel, you aro wicked to say that!" cried Winifred. "No, Winifred; I am only experienced. I loved Nichckn dearly, but when I think of his coming now my heart fails me. There will bo a difference; it is only kind to warn you." "What difference?" Winifred demand ed, with fire in her eyes. "Why should we deceive ourselves, child?" said ?!iss Elvira, querulously. "You know that Nicholas will not return alone." "Would not Dosia be my sister?" cried Winifred. "Would she not be your niece and my father's daughter? She is beautiful, and she is good; I accept Do sia."' "Oh, Dosia," said Miss Elvira, slight ingly. In a certain sense she, too, ac cepted Dosia; that was inevitable. "And as to the little boy" Wini fred began, with a tremulous tender ness. "It is Nicholas' child,' Miss Elvira in terrupted, placidly; the child likewise she could accept. "But there's that dreadful Mis3 Eoxanna "White; we 6hall novcr be rid cf her." "She has been a good friend of Brer Nicholas; I lovo her for that," said Wini fred, undaunted. "Let her come, and kt her stay, if she likes; Tiiorne Hill ha3 room." "My dear, you don't know her! She is a grenadier in petticoats. Such a letter as she has written your father! Sho refuses to be parted from Nicholas and hid wife and child; if they come, coffin will sho; and wo shall live under martial law." "And wo shall be very happy," Wini fred insisted, though in her heart of hearts she felt the shadow of her aunt's forebodings. To be Continued. Coulc'n't Agree.

No more sensational murder has been committed for a long time than that in which Printer Charles E. Jackson figured as principal. It occurred late one night in a saloon on Sbtth avenue, No York city, and the victim was Mamie Murphy, a beau tiful but dissolute young woman, who had severed her relations with Jackson and de clined to renew them. Upon her refusal he drew a knife, cut her throat and fled. Be fore those present regained their senses Jackson was out of sight and the girl was dead. By daylight the police forces of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City more than 5,000 men knew of the crime and were looking for the fugitive. But they didn't catch him. When Jackson slammed the door of tho sa loon he loft no clew for tho of cers to follow up. Thev learned, in deed, that he made CHARLES E. JACKSON, his way down town and borrowed some money from friendly compositors who at the time had no knowledge of the murder, but beyond that they could secure no in formation about his movements. Jackson's real name is Charles E. Bu chanan. While a resident of Toronto he slashed liis wife's throat, but not fatally. Because of this deed he fled from Canada and assumed an alias. Until recently he wore a mustache, but at present his face is smooth. Hero is the description sent out by the New York police: Charles E. Buchanan, alias Charles E. Jackson, a Canadian, agtd between 28 and 81 years; 5 feet 7 inches in height; stout build; dark brown hair; medium complex ion; had smooth face when last seen; has very wido nostrils; wore dark coat and vest, striped trousers, reddish scarf, black derby hat; speaks with an English accent; is a drinking man; associates with fallen wom en. Buchanan is a compositor and gener ally works in newspaper offices. At the time of his flight he was a member of Typo graphical Union No. C of this city. In 18S3 he was a member of Typographical Union No. 193 of Las Vegas, New Mexico. He was also a member of Toronto Typographical Union No. 9L A MONUMENT TO REVOLUTION. Franco Beginning a Series of Centennial Celebrations. France is entering upon the centennial of the great events that marked her history during the la&t decade of tho previous cen tury. Ono of the most notable commemora tions that has yet taken place occurred the other day at Toulon, when the president of tho republic unveiled a monument in honor of the French revolution. The principal Qgure is that of republican France, stand- Mlijnc1 -rim TIIE 5I0XU1IENT AT TOULON'. Ing on tho prow of a ship, holding in one hand a tablet inscribed with the rights of man and of the citizen, and in the other the torch of civilization. At her feet aro two seated figures, one representing force, tho other juntice. The entire design is in memory of tho fete of the federation at tho Field of Mara in 17S0, and the combination of monument and fountain is said to bo verv effective. Tho Wife of Her Uncle. Mary Sausone, of Baltimore, is one o those who look upon marriage as a failure, and sho has thereforo begun suit to secure her freedom. Sho first met her husband, who is also her undo, in May, lfcST, and they went to Washington for thi purpeso of being married. Soon after this her hus band deserted hc-r. Tho laws of the District of Columbia do not prohibit such mar riages, and the quastion to be determined is whether the union, though legitimate where the ceremony occurred, is valid in Maryland. Mrs. Sausone has one child. Her husband is now in Virginia. A Timely Snnlce Story. The season ha now advanced far enough for snake stories to be in order. Ono of tho first to gain currency is to the effect that the boys who titter! the Howard pub lic school at JohiiHutry, N. J., found a deu of serpents tho other afternoon. It was a big hole in the ground, partly covered with a stone. They poktd sticks into it and in ten minutes a large number of snakes came out. With sticks and stones they killed forty-seven bkxk sBakes. five pilots and fourteen garters. Two of the black fcuakes were five feet long. Only "Women at a Funeral. The women of Milton, Fla., ase just at present making it uncomfortable for the male resideato of that town. Mrs. Mary Ann Henderson died the ether day after being bed ridden for twenty-one years. At the funeral the only man prase rit was the preacher, and tho corpse vno placed in fcha coffin and carried to the heaiae by females, who also did the nesessiiry work at the cemetery. Consideriag the criticism they have incurred the men now wish they had gone to the funeral in a body. Kecorerod Her Umbralla.

Queer Dtixtaro of Shooting Ailrays ien catlonal Justification and Prayer. The recent trial of Mak Charles E. Mc Gregor at Warrenton, Ga., for the kiTTing of J. M. W. Cody, proved sensational in every feature from start ttfnish. Early one evening some six months ago Mr. Cody was standing with others in, front of English's store at Warrenton. McGreg or walked up, pulled a pistol, and holding it in both hands fired three shots. Cody fell dead. One ball went through bis body, another entered bslow the right ear, and the third crashed through the left temple. McGregor was arreeted, and after spending nearly half a year in prison was put on trial for his life. He read a remarkable statement in his own behalf. He said that soon after dark one evening a year ago last December he was shot while en tering the gate to his yard by an un known assassin. Cody was at de fendant's home al most ovary day af ter the shooting, and offered to give $50 towards a re ward for the ap- m prehension of the 8$S$y" would be mtir- MSWI derer. The two f men had been friends for vears. C. E. M'GEEaoR. but whou McGre gor got well and began an investigation he found that Cody was the man who had at tempted to slay him. When confronted with the proofs Cody said: "Mac, I did shoot you. I ask mercy for my wife and child. I don't wish to live, for I am mia erable, and have had no rest since then. I would give all I have if I could recall that shot." Yet, McGregor claimed, Cody made still other essays upon his lifev and at last he killed the man in self defense. The defendant punctuated his statement by stripping to the waist and showing the jury the marks left by Cody's bul let. It had entered at tho right side, below tho right breast, and ranging downward had passed out on tho left side. Tho evidence all tended to substantiate McGregor's assertions. Two questions, however, arose: Was the defendant in dan ger of his life at the time he killed Cody? and, what was the cause of the enmity that prompted the dead man to make the initial assault? Tho first of tho two issues was judge, prosecuting attorney and de fendant's lawyers tri$d to ignore. But it forced its way to the surface. One of the witnesses offered certain testimony. It could not be refused. "It is my painful duty to permit its admission," said Judge Lumpkina. Then it came out that there was a wo man in the case; that her name was Du Bose, and that both Cody ajid McGregor desired to bask in her smiles, each at the expense of the other. When the jury retired every one breathed freely again. It was felt that the strain was over and that McGregor would be a.c quitted promptly. But ho was not. Twenty-four hours passed, then forty-eight, and still no verdict. Juror Baker demanded the prisoner's conviction. His companions argued, ontreated, swore, threatened. On tho morning of the fourth day Juror Heath fell on his kncs3 and prayed. Ho asked that the soul of Baker might be soft ened and that he might show pity to Mc Gregor and his family. Baker was crying when the prayer ended, and said he waa willing to let McGregor go. Verdict, not guilty. Oklahoma Blanks. Deed1;, mortgages, etc..

Every-One "Wants a .Different One from 'Mcv Koisibor and Gets It, Too Some 7Iain, Xastefnl Gowns for Homo "Wear. Special Correspondence. 2sew Yoee, 3Iay 15. It is not an-easy matter thesoiays to tell a young girl from her brother -unless you happen to see her dleet, jTonvhai -with tennis blazers, tennis cap3 and short hair there seems little difference in their looks, and this peason the mannish styles hare not only advanced from tennis to yachting cos tumes, but you -will see-women of all ages in regular dress coatsiof black, with a wide expanse of shirt bosom, high col lars, wlnto neckties and little Derby hats, though, io bo sure, only a few wear these horriblyruibecoming things. Theywear long coat sleeves with these coats, with a goodly display of -white-cuffs; but-they draw tho lino at a-raan"svest, or have up to date, and substitute in its place a very wide sash of silk in some suitable color. Tho liair is dressed high on the head, and thus a still moroanasculino effect is produced. There are very few women to -whom such a style -fits, but there are always thoso who are bound to follow the newest fad, ae matter where it leads them. One would thinkrthat such a cos tamo would bo more in place upon the top of one of tho great tally-ho stages which rumble up and down Fifth avenue behind four or six splendid horses, and on the members of the Coaching club; but no; those ladies dress in the most feminine costumes possiblo to achieve, and they are fairly imbedded in flowers, so that tho top of tho coach looks lfke a lot of potted plants in bloom on tho way to market. So manyilowers aro used that I often think that if I had my wish and couldn't bo Vandergould I would like to bo a florist. Thero is absolutely no'end to tho fash ionable styles in head wear. Every day dSli you see a neAV fancy. One tiixiw m wiii uo iiu enor mous poke, with a puffed silk crown and half a bushel of flow ers upon it, be a pretty ch-ovalier hat, with gracefully curling brim and lovely plumes, and then you will fall head over heels in lovo with a beautiful red tullo toque, with BOJETS. puffed sides, held by bramble branches, and a gold colored pouf ofcrepein front, and then a black laco hat, with a royal yellow nasturtium vino growing thriftily oil over it and twining amongst the lace. Tho fact of it is that every woman -wants something different from anybody else's bonnet, and evidently gets it, too. Feathers aro just as often seen as flow ers, and ribbons always-aro worn. Feather boas and trimmings aro often seen on spring garments and with ball dresses, and flower boas in natural and artificial flowers azo very stylish. Just think of a boa four yards long made of American beautj' roses at a -dclLir apiece! I think, on tho -wliole, it is better to bo a florist than a miEioiiaire. Tho mosquito net Hading veils aro go ing to be -worn again. They draw around tho chin -with a fine elastic They aro chiefly serviceable to hide tho ravages of perspiration on the-powder, and aro bet ter than the close veils formerly worn for that purpose, which often got all -white in spots in an hour on a warm day. Tho Iladingveil does not touch the faco, and, eeen through tho dotted aneshes, the color does not suffer so much. Bless the girls! what-won't they invent ne::t? IJut don't let us give all our attention to frivolous things. Let us, instead, discuss feomo plain and pretty gowns for home wear. Hero is one on which tho popular Yandylce points get their innings to an unusual extent, but tho dress is very pretty and neat. It can bo made up in anything, from gingham andatino to silk or velvet. Tho stylo is simple and very easily made up, and is dressy lor soitnplo a design. The other is whito bunting trimmed with black velvet ribbon, and has a sash of bunting loosely tied. It is a pretty gown for a young wearer, and is quite dressy enough for a tea gown or any other liomo afternoon or evening toilet, and the wearer would look sweet-enough to eat. FOItADOKeiEOT cxttiie IIOME CHICLE. The dark gown lor tho matrons is of India talk in dark, rich purple, with flower pattern in. black and cream color. The rest front and lining to the sash ore of gold colored saun, which makes it look liko a morning cloud which the ris ing sun just edges with gold. This is a tea gown, but can be worn as a, morning dress if eo liked. A secret! "Wear it for a tea gown until your friends havo all peen it, and then wear it mornings for vour own pleasure.

Proliinitea "by Gorororacut OrOers After tlao Present Season's Gloso Avarice Gcta tho Bettor of EiaipUdty and Causes 3D isastor Actors and Theatre. "In 1G33, 3causo of CJra plague, eighteen burghera assembling Irem tho village of Oberaimncrgaa vowed that onto in ten years they wouia-preeeat by living pictures the passion of Jesus Christ; and not only wera they all. heated which were r-ISicted, but they begod God to bices these his servants Who hod thus lovingly exposed the passion of. his blessed Christ." 3 TEE OBEirAMifERGATT THEATRE. Thus quaintly runs the old chronicle, telling in brief and barren phrase the story of a deadly epidemic, and the appeal to heaven when all earthly power had failed to stay its ravages. Perhaps the plague hud exhausted its powers, or perhaps, to adopt the view of the peasants, the Deity was pleased to avert the death angel's wrath because of humble supplication and trust in supernal mercy. At any rate health and happiness returned once more to tho picturesque valley of the Ammer. and save when Avar or rulers intervened to prevent, tho vow has been kept. As years went by and travel increased the presenta tion of the Passion Play in tho little moun tain hamlet by the humble carvers of wood attracted more and more attention. Early in the eentury the tide of tourists set on each summer of the drama's recur rence toward Obcrammergau, and in a sense the result has been disastrous. The simple methods and abiding faith of the peasant actors ore gone, and with them their hearty hospitality. Four decades back tho devil was cut out-of the play because his horns, hoofs and sulphurous personality displeased the sensibilities of aristocratic patrons. Then the te:rt and action were revised to meet m odcra demands. Tho revi sion eliminated the mediraval ruggednes3 and strength, but breathed no fresher or more vigorous spirit into the dry bones of the skeleton that remained. An open air theatre went up at a cost that strained the resources of tho villagers. F" they knew JOSEPH MAYER AS CHRIST, wliat they were about, for they had grown less simple and more worldly wise. Ten years ago cariosity seekers trooped into tho debt ladentown ond made of the specu lation an enormous success. Thoy boueht wood carvings, paid handsomely for board and lodging, and disbursed largely for ad missions to the theatre. Exhibitions were given weekly, beginning with tho last Sun day in May and ending with the lost Sun day in September. Tho "box office re ceipts," as the irrelicious showman would say, averaged 5,0S0 for each performance during the reason, and tho profits were di vided among tho aotors, thobe appearing in the chief roles getting the bulk of the cash. Ntiturolly, for man is weak, prosperity made the villagers avaricious and turned the Bavarian Arcadia into a mart for monjy maldng. In 1SSS tho principal characters for the production of the sum mer of 1890 were selected. The era of harmony had gone by and a great quarrel attended the construction of the cast. Its noiso rolled beyond the confines of Ober amniergau, and the government of the kingdom decided that as the Passion Play had degenerated from its original purpose into an ordinary scheme for money mak ing the present season should be its last. Consequently, this summers visitors to the valley of the Ammer will view the final performance of a drama that has had the longest run of any theatre success, ancient or moden from 1G33 to 1SO0. m- m IPST1! s r TnOilAS RENTJL AS PILATE.

Tha play is divided into eighteen parts or acts, all preceded by tab leauxJxim tie Old Testament. The latter include' such scenes afe tha expulsion of Adam and EVo from Paradise, Abraham's attempt to sacrifico Isaac, Hoses smiting the rock, and Jonah emerging from the whale's mouth. Tho main action of the play, of course, has to do with Christ's life from boyhood to the t&ne of the betrayal, trial and crucifixion. With tho exception of two rows of boxes the seats of the theatre as well as the stage are uncovered and ex posed to every vagary of the elements. The play begins at 8 a, m. and ends at 6 p, m. with a brief noonday intermission for Innch. The date of the first performance in this, tho last season of its life, is May 25; the final one Sept. 23. The number of persons connected with the production exceeds 800, all of whom are natives of Oberammergau. No outsider is allowed to take part, and married women o- JACOB HETT AS PETER. are also excluded. Every morning before the curtain goes up the players wend their way to church in a body and receive the sacrament as a preparation to the theatri cal labors of the day. It is expected that throughout the summer there will be con stantly present in the village 5,000 visitors, and arrangements have been made to feed and lodge that number. An old saying is to the effect that famil iarity breeds contempt. A writer who vis ited Oberammergau in 1SS0 brought back proof of the truth of the proverb. The vil lagers in daily life call tho actors, not by their real names, but by these of tho char acters they portray. The result is ludicrous in some respects and distasteful in others. For instance, there must bs a certain shock on hearing a burly villager announce that "Simon Peter drank too much beer last night;" that "Pontius Pilate has the rheu matism," or that "Alary Magdalene makes good coffee." Yet these are ordinary and unthought of outcroppings of daily con versation among the wood carving Thes pians. Fred C. Dattox. Vicar General Kccffan's Death. The Catholic church of New York and of the United States lias recently sustained a great loss by the death of the Very Rev. "William Keegan, vicar general of the dio cese of Brooklyn and pastor of tho Church of the Assumption. He was not only very efficient as a priest and greatly beloved as a man, but was noted for his executive ability, and was always sought when some unusual difficulty presented itself in the organization of a local church or society. He seemed to be gifted with one of those happily constituted intellects which at first glance perceive the weak points in any organization, and his judgment had so often proved correct that his advice in such cases was ac cepted as the best possible. He was born April 22, 1S24, in Kings county, Ireland, and went his parents in 1S42. ppr; TTn soon cnto.rptl'&ilMiv New York, a5dVICu:GEICEKALKEEGA-N-was graduated therefrom in 18o3. Oct. 16 of that year Cardinal Itedini, then papal nuncio, ordained him a priest in tho old St. Patrick's cathedral, and soon after ho assumed the pastorate of the Church of the Assumption, which he held to his death. He took a very active part in the work of his church. He is the last of a large family of brothers and sisters, all of whom, like himself, died of pneumonia. He was made vicar general in 1SE0. The Hero of Lust Island Dead. Does heroism pay' Nearly always in the senso of honor deserved, vory often in tho sense of honor received, but rarely in the direction of practical recognition. Capt. Abraham Smith, who died recently in a New Orleans hospital, had few friends besides his devoted wife and adopted son. Y'et in ISoO, when he wa. but 25 years of .gQ, the country rang with his namo, and he was known far and wide as the hero of Last Island. The island was a famous summer resort until a storm on tho night of Aug. a, In tho year mentioned, practi cally hwept it from existence. The steamer Star, with Capt. Smith in command, was at the landing when the hurricane began, and the few people ved owed their lives to the daring sailors exertions.

SUSIE RUSSELL. On the banla of the broad and yellow stream known to poets ;is the "Beautiful river," lies Cincinnati, the queen city of Ohio, noted along many lines of trade and enterprise, but equally famous also for achievements in art and for tho attain ments of the fair maids and matrons who dwell upon the heights overlooking the busy valley where centers the city's bustle and activity. In one sense Cincinnati may be termed tho western Boston, for her wo men are not content to rest solely upon the laurels that loveliness wins. Instead, they have gone out as workers who seek the divine in song and tho glorious in art, and they have achieved much. But still unsatis fied, they toil along paths where thorns and flowers lie strewn together, seeking tho Palace Beautiful that towers above JEAME 5C.I1TH HEALT. them so far away, so hard to reach, and yet by no means unattainable. In music, in tho drama, in education, in the good works of charity, where wealth comes to the aid of willingness, there are always things to be dono, and it is with some of the charm ing laborers in these vineyards of human ity that this article has to do. One of the belles of Cincinnati is Miss Susie Russell, a tall maiden of 19, with a figure that approaches perfection, largo ej-es of hazel brown, and cheeks that bloom with tho delicate rose tint of perfect health. Splendidly educated, a charming conver sationalist, aud quick at repartee, sho renders delightful the entertainments given at her residence on "Wesley avenue.

Still she finds much time for social ple.isures, and tho recep tions given at her lovely homo aro resorted to by the most cultured people of tho city. Sho is winning of manner and numbers scores of admirers, particularly among young girls, who seek her company on every possiblo occasion. Her taste in dress is admirable and is of equal degree with her musical accomplishments. Mrs. Cora Stevens Hawkins, wife of Gen. Norton L.
