SDfc ffl&tefflb Uailtj W$& Itfjes&uj lOTma tttmbtt 26, 1899 ILL PUTJJP CHECK Street Car People Want For feit Money at Interest- MAY AGREE ON LOCAL BANK Dynamos, Boilers and Miles of Steel Ordered. The street car people mean business from all appearances. Mr. Woodman has written to Mr. Helm, city attorney, to know If, the city will accept a certified check in place of $10,000 in cash, the amount of the forfeit to "be put up, on acceptance. The reason suggested is this: In case the street car people comply with the conditions of the ordinance the money goes to them and the city never gets any right to it. The interest on the $10,000 during the time they are building and equipping the road in accordance with the franchise, will amount to a considerable sum. If the money is placed on deposit in bank for the time the forfeit runs, the lank -will pay interest on it. Thus the scheme to have a. certified check substitu ted for cash is to provide for the forfeit earning interest In the meantime. It has 'been suggested, and the sugges tion, will probably be carried out to the satisfaction of both parties, that the $10, CO0 be placed in a Wichita -bank and a certificate of the local bank be taken in stead of a bank In some far-away bank. It is believed as liberal a rate of interest will be paid by the local bank as the bank at Mr. Woodman's home. There fore, Mr. Woodman will lose nothing by having the deposit made in a bank here In case there should bo any litigation it would be to the advantage of the city to have the-mones. the subject matter of the litigation, here, and4 not at some distant point. The indications are that the mat ter will be fixed In the manner abovt in dicated, by depositing ,the money In a Wichita bank. It is likely Mayor Ross will insist on a cash deposit. Mr. Color Sim, who is interested In the mattes- hero, says there i3 no reasonable doubt but the new (franchise will be ac cepted and the road built. A new boiler, dsnamos and eight miles of steel have been contracted for. The Wichita people have had an experience with street i rail ways tending to make them skeptical, but th"y want now to size up the situation from the" standpoint of a more prosperous condition of the country at large and a growing and prosperous condition of things at home. There is more money seoklng investment In such enterprises as street railways than for many years. These things are to be i borne In mind in prognosticating tho future of Wichita's street car line. 3IILLIO'S GIVEN AWAT, It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

For several s'ears the name of Charles Hoyt has had a magic sound in the ears of American theatre-goers. Always fresh unhackneyed and filled with new and un conventional situations, odd and mirth provoking, his merry comedies have long held a first place in the affections of a great portion of the plas'lgoers of this country, and the mere announcement of a Hoyt play is always enough to set the entire company agog, and it Is an event looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure. Next week Mr. Hoyt sends to the Crawford theater his "A Stranger in New York," which is known to be his pot creation. This comedy is popular with our theater-goers by reason of its enormous success when last presented here Since its last visit Mr. Hoyt has given it his up-to-date touch, and in mans' ways greatls' improved it, and it is now said that "A Stranger in New York," in its present form, reflects its talented author's personalis more than anything else he has written. It teems with crisp dialogue and witty flings that give it the true Hoytian flavor. It is original in evers' line and situation, the unexpected alwas's happening, and no sooner does one laughable situation go bs than the auditor is suddenly plunged into another before he has scarcely ceas ed laughing at tho last. It is by this constant keeping the interest at the ex treme tension that one secret of Hoyt's success mas' be discovered. The .audience never knows what to expect. The coming of "A Stranger in New York" will be one of the important events of the season, and this fact is fulls' appreciated bs amusement seekers. STANDING ROOM ONLY. One of the Test repertoire companies that has played in Wichita opened a week's engagement at the Crawford the ater to a house that was simply jammed with people and extra chairs, the boxes all being occupied, were added to seat tho overflow. Still mans had to stand. The Mores stock compans is the attrac tion, and "A Rosal Slave" was the bill. The compans realls began their engage ment ses,terday afternoon and gave a vers clever performance to a large audi ence. "A Ros'al Slave" is a Mexican ro mantic drame. that portra's the domin ating passions of the Mexican and Span ish races, their strong love, and their bitter hatred. These existing passions of an impulsive people were strongls exem plified by the different members of the compans. Miss Luella Mores, as the Countess De Oro, was given ample op portunits for the display of the strong dramatic talent whih she possesses, A wmn whose personal beauty adds in terest to r most dlrticult part, but which is carried by her with no tHpiay of effort that is apparent to the audience. Miss Morey is not a ttranger to Wichita audi ences, but she never appeared to oetter advantage that as Countess De Oro Clarence Bennett, as El Apulia, the Eagle, an Indian descendant of the Mon tezuma?, showed a degree of force and strength of character as an actor that is seldom seen in a popular-priced corn pans. Mr. Bennett gives to his part a fervor that is Inseparable to a success ful rendition of the character of one of that ancient race, whose ancestors once held dominion over Mexico. Willard Foster.

Madden, registering front Boulder, Colo., came to Wichita to spend Christmas with a brother, Bert Madden, who, he thought, lived here. When Frank Madden got here a diligent search failed to locate any such man as Bert Madden, who, if he ever lived here, has moved awas. The Colorado brother came to sur prise the Wichita man, whom he had not seen for seven sears, and when no trace of the relation could be found the Colo rado man settled down to spend his Christmas alone with his thoughts and his cigar. "This is rather a dull Christmas," he said, ''and a surprise, too. But I've seen worse ones, and I've seen other men with worse Christmases than I've had gener alls. I've got plenty to eat and money to get home, and a good job when I get there." Then he fell to relating Christmas stories of mountain life, and among them this one: 'Dad' White was one of the best driv ers that ever pulled a line over a Rocky mountain mule, but he was diffident No one ever heard him brag of his prowess, yet no driver ever made the stage sta tions with more regularity than he; no driver's stock was kept in better condi tion than his, and fewe accidents were charged to him than to any driver on the line. "One Christmas das', sixteen years ago, before the iron horse had "been trained to drag the coaches through the labyrinth of rocks in tho Georgetown district, 'Dad' had a passenger who was determined ta ride on the boot. He wanted to see the ccuntrs better, he said, but it soon devel oped that he rode there for the purpose of hurrying over the road. That was something 'Dad' wouldnft sstand. He wouldn't near stand it. He had six mules in hand. Thes were good ones, too, and 'Dad' knew just what they could do and how to make them do it to the best ad vantage. But the Maine man drew odious comparisons. He even intimated that there were more dangerous roads 'down in Maine,' and that the good drivers weren't foolish to come west. "Coming over the mountains into Georgetown, the last three miles of road don't happen to be smooth. In fact, they are rough, and the grade is terrific, and there are many turns where but a vers few feet to one side would hurl a coach with its passengers down the mountain side hundreds of feet By the time this grade was reached 'Dad' White was ex asperated besond endurance. He turned to his passenger ('Dad' was always will ing to give even his worst enemy a fair show), and said: 'Stranger, I'm about to lose my Job, tout I'm about to give ye the all-firedest ride mortal man ever had. Tam O'Shan. ter warn't in it with the way we're about ter hit this dirt Reckon se'd better git Inside the coach.' His bluff was good and strong, but with more sarcasm than was necessary the easterner declined to move. 'Liz! Mag!' swelled 'Dad' to the lead ers, and quick as a flash 'the nervy little animals dropped their ears onto their necks and darted awas lie a pair of jack rabbits. Again and again the long lash whizzed and pnapped over their backs, the flanks of the 'swing' mules were lit erally gashed with it, and down they went. Talk about L,eetle Breeches' team going 'hell-to-split over the prairie!' Whs, they couldn't have got closa enough to that six-mule team to tell what they looked like. Those three miles perhaps a trifle less than that; say two and three-quarters were covered in nine minutes, and 'Dad' swung around to tho Antlers hotel with tho utmost sang froid. But the man from Maine had to be lifted off the seat "And say! He was so darned ornery" said Madden, "that he Informed on 'Dad' and he lost his job." The person who disturbed the congre gation last Sunda bs coughing, is re quested to call on Hocking Drug' Co. G Gehring or Wells Miller, druggists, 'and get a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar, which alwass gives relief. CITY INB?IEF. B B. Cushman went to St. Louis last night W. L.

A special to the Times from Port Townsend, Wash., sass: Advices brought from the north todas on the Cottage City are to the efTect that Edgar P. Piper, editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer; Thomas Prosch, capi talist; Mr. Baxter, manager of a Seattle tanking house, E. F. Blaine, lawser; Rev. J. r. Llos'd, Episcopalian minister; William H. Thompson, lawyer, and Bell Strand have been Indicted bs the Uni ted States grand jurs for the crime of grand Iurcens for the theft of a valuable totem pole from the graveyarjj of the Cape Fox Indians at Fort Tongas, Alaska. Last summer Piper and several prominent members of the Seattle Cham oer of Commerce, to stronger bind the ties of friendship and commercial rela tions between Alaska and Seattle, con ceived the idea that a business men's excursion to Alaska would be the proper thing. The idea was carired into effect and the above-indicted gentlemen repre sented a committee of the Chamber of Commerce of Seattle, armed with creden tials to extend its official hand of intro duction in the matter of good-fellowship to other chambersof commerce in Amska. From indications, not only was this offi cial hand extended to whites but the official "mit" was laid with distressing force upon a historical monument in the hape of a forty-nine-foot totem pole wtth the intent to steal and carry it away dur ing the absence of the Indians from home The disappearance of the pole caused great consternation among the Indians, as engravings on the pole represent his torical deeds of valor performed by dia- tigulshed chief? of their tribe.

The order abolishing the custom of haul ing all Missouri Pacific employes, sick or wounded, from the remotest parts of the rood in the west to Kansas Cits for treatment and care was issued bs tho 6urgeon-In-ch!ef of the company, who concluded that it was not onls dangerous but unnecessars to pick up a man who is crltlcalls ick or who is badly hurt, and jostle him. over two or three hundred miles to a hospital. So the idea of a di vision hospital that would be compara tively near all points in its territors' was put into practice. Kansas City for fear of losing a dollar or a rag of its repu tation for being the whole thing, has set up an organized and systematic knock to have the Wichita, Fort Scott and other division hospitals abolished and the whole business brought back to that place. A meeting of the Kansas City Commercial club was held and a committee of two business men appointed to go to New York to talk with George Gould with a view to having the chief surgeon's order revoked. ROMANCE OF A SWEET FACE Kow a Yonns Man Met His Kate in a Magazine Picture. Jew York, Dec. 25. The Journal says: Quite recently Mr.Richard Harding Davis discarded the theme of winning a bride through a chance photograph as unreal. In his Princess Allno, though he re tained incident as a basis for the novel, he revesed the order of proceedings. His hero fell in love with quite another per son. If Mr. Davis had read the romance about to be unfolded here he would have known that all things are possible, and this one delightful besides. He would have learned that the matri monial venture upon which Mr. Archi bald Jermain McClure and Miss Anna Austin Cassin entred just a week ago, was tb.9 direct result of a beautiful bit of paper. To nine observers out of ten it might have seemed but an ordinary magazine cut But when the eyes of young Mr. Mc Clure rested upon it it had become the embodiment of grace and charm. It formed the turning point of his life. One may speculate endlessly as to what ho might have done and what he might have been if this exquisite representation had not come upder his eyes. For us to enter upon any such imaginings would be distressing, since they would but de lay tho telling of a romance which began with every charm to commend it and which ended, as every Hove story should, with the sounds of wedding bells last week In Albany. There are no S'oung people better known in the town of Albany than Archibald McClure and the beautiful Anna Cassin. He is a grandson of the late James B. Jermain, tho millionaire philanthropist She is the daughter of the capitalist John Cassin, of Rensselaer. Being wealth, without having had to work to make himself so. young McClure was able to enjoy himself and to spend what money he would, not on increasing his fortune, but on "widening hl3 experi ence. After leaving college he chose to se the world. He went to Europe and having somewhat exhausted tho fields there, returned to 'tihe United States. There came a das when he felt that he knew their products and possibilities too little. To be of a country and ignorant of it, seemed to s'uns McClure a crime, and he started ofT, as he expressed it, to learn things. To this end he stopped at mining dis tricts, questioned engineers, descended shafts, studied assaying and entred deep ly into the physical geography of his country. He climbed mountains, crossed rivers, studied the las'out of towns. Inquired into populations, estimated their growth am made up his mind finally that the West was the place to live. Many a man as venturesome and hound by no ties of deep well, let us any "it of the onls love that counts, has dee'd ed similarly. Young McClure wrote his parent that the new West seemed to him altogether quit the place for a young man to start and build for himself a career. He went to San Francisco and studied tber the possibilities in every chaaaei from real estate to hanKIng. Incidentally he re viewed the charming women that Saa Francisco sends oat annually much as she developer her Sowkj. Their growth is as prolific. They seem, as it wera, to grow on evry stem. Young: McClure passed thorn all by with never a desire to pluck ooo. He had the reputation among Us friends who, after the asanner of friends. vwd they knew him well, of being iavolaar ahle. It was frequently predicted stf hfm that he would never fall t lore. He bad. been la the midst of teiaatatioa.taw reat est. so often, and be had aeear soowa a symptom even of weakness.

And he seemed to plant himself directly at Mr. McClure's elbow. He took the Puritan out and held it before his eyes. Mr. McClure shrugged his shoulders, and more to get rid of the boy than for ans' other reason, bought t cops. Thus In an instant by the hand, tho dirts hand, of a newisbos', was his career of a bachelor arrested. But that comes later. As yet the magazine was lslng un opened at the cs'nical young man's side. It might have been that he would never have opened it had not a gust of wind dono the office for him. Young McClure was sated in the end seat of the car within the daft made bs the opening and shutting o1 the door. Some one stepped In through it and slammed it, which rustled the psge of his fate. Tho soung man caught a glimpse of an exquisite face, poised on a regal throat The sight of it made him long for more. With eager eses he grasped the book an i gazed on the face on the page. Ho drank in fhat was there. It filled his eyes with pleasure such as a thirsty man might find in his first draught of water aftr rrany days of famine. It was the face his eyes had been hungry for. He kn ew now why none other had ever given them an instant's joy. He had been invulnerable; S'cs. until this dark es'ed, dark haired, sweet lipped creature had come before him. iNow he was figuratively upon his knees before an unknown head. The eyea "beckoned him, the lips seemed to speak to him. As his train sped on he fancied what a creature so mounled would sy. He could above the rumble of the cars, hear the tones of her voice. It must be deep and )ft to match her eyes. He knew it, he could hear it. Her voice was contral to. He vowed he'd hear it if she was up on earth. Her name benath the picture told him she was Anna Austin Cassin. of Rens slaer. She had a home then near Albany where his tfather and mother lived. She was of flesh and blood, not a crea ture of some man's fanes. There were men and wonvn who knew hr. Women! that was all right; but men the thought trotured him. Suddenly another still worse chased I through his brain. What If thre were a man some one man! What If slrcady she had given her band and her heart? He studied the picture closely. She might be eightoen or twenty. She haJ firmness in her llos and strength in her poise. She was not o eoquette. He know it. He would stake his life upon It Where she gave her heart she would give her hand. None could woo her llahtly.
