FOR SWEET cHARITY's SAKE.

No other organization in the city is doing
the charitable work that is being performed
by the G. A. r, assisted by the Ladies Aux
Hilary society. Almost daily cases of want
and destitution are relieved, and as the win
ter progresses they will be on the increase.
The wife of an old soldier, in INDECENT cir
cumstsnces, died yesterday. The relief
corps took charge Of the funeral and fur
nished the coffin and hearse. Nosoldier nor
soldiers wife nor soldiers orphan should be
suffered to FIJI pauper's grave. Our chart
ties should not be confined to such alone,
nor should the organization alluded TO above
be expected to shoulder the whole
burden. On "Wednesday evening
Of next week a charity ball
and musical entertainment will be given at
the opera house. In all eastern cities peo-
pie in easy circumstances turn out en- masse
to encourage by their presence and financial
aid such worthy enterprise. An appeal is
made to the large hearted, open handed peo-
pie of Wichita to respond likewise, now
that an opportunity is offered them, and this
appeal should not be in vain. You will not
be asked to donate one cent without full
value received, for the entertainment and
supper will be well worth the price of the
tickets. Were it even otherwise it would
be your unquestioned duty to help those la
borers in those voluntary efforts to raise
means to alleviate the suAerings of the poor
and distressed.

SOMETHING NEW.

A new and novel article in the way of a
unique and improved photograph album, is
beirg exhibited BY gentleman in our city,
and is attracting much attention from those
of our people who treasure the images OF
their friends in their homes. 1t is described
as being made up of a patent metallic back.
detachable and interchangeable leaves and
covers and extension back and clasp. The
idea is, that it is made in sections, and these
sections or leaves can be put in or removed
at pleasure. The back is removed when the
album has become filed with pictures, by
simply pulling pin that holds it in place,
and another leaf with its quote of pictures
can be added to the album and the back re-
placed. Thus it can be built up to any
thickness; the object and the advantage be-
ing that instead of having photographs in
several places or albums about the house,
the entire family collection, be it ever so
large, can all be put into this one new styled
article. of course it will grow thick and
bulky, but it is of handsome design and
finish and will always be pretty and attrsc-
tive. The cost of the extra leaves and at
tachments is small, and it looks as though
this new departure would become popular
and in time, perhaps, supercede the old
STYLED album

An Exquisite Suggestion in E,hic.
DIAMONDS FOR DRILLS.
The Apparatus by which Deep Rock
Boring Is Accomplished.

Diamonds are comparatively cheap now

reporter, "and the dinmond-set bits used liz
the diamond drills do not cost as much IA
they did,
Are genuine diamonds used in these drills,
or are they called diamond drills because the
steel has an extremely hard temper" the re-
porter asked.
diamonds are used in the drills. They
are chiefly one and two carat stones. AT
present they cost about SD carat. They
are III the rough The diamond-set is hollow.
1t is steel thimble, having three rows Of
diamonds imbedded in 1t, SO that the edge.
Il those in one row project from It's face,
while the edges of those in the other two
rows project from the outer and inner
peril hery respectively. The diamonds OF
the first mentioned row cut rhe path Of the
drill in its forward progress, while those
on the outer and inner periphery of the tool
enlarge the cavity"
DO the diamonds wear out"
Their edges which come in contact with
the rock get little smooth, aud then they
are taken out and reset, so that fresh edge

CAUGHT IN THE ACT
To the Editor of the EAGLE:

To the Editor Of the EAGLE:
For some time past our citizens have been
annoyed by burglaries and other disturbing
elements in our midst.
On Thursday evening the occupants of
the premises on Water street, just north of
Hacker & Jackson's coal yards, became sus-
picious that raid would be attempted on
them sometime in the night. A strict watch
was set and about eleven o'clock it was APP
parent that some strange person had by
some means mot repo-ted), gained access to
their sleeping room. Plenty Of help being
at hand and before successful resistance
could be made, the intruder was captured.
He was total stranger with dark hair and
did not seem to be vicious sort Of person.
Tracks were discovered coming direct from
the foundry to the house in which he was
captured which with other signs seemed to
indicate that some person belonging to the
foundry, if not an actual accomplice, at least
knew more of the matter than he would ad-
init. Mr.. Cranston and lady considering
the fine appearance and very extreme. youth
Of the prisoner, with true hearted generosity
agreed to adopt them as their own and en-
deavor to make him happy and useful citi-
zen. Being their first capture they may in
deed feel proud of their achievement.

CHRISTMAS GOODS.

1t is interesting and pleasing to behold
the beautiful array of Christmas goods, so
nicely displayed in almost every shop win
dow in the city. There is scarcely store
in town tlht has not trimmed its windows
and counters with handsome things in their
line. The sun shone out bright and clear
yesterday, and although the streets and side
walks were very slushy, our people who had
been shut in by the inclemency Of the two
previous days, were out pretty generally,
looking around among the stores.
Harding & Fisher and the postoffice book
store display the most beautiful Christmas
gifts; many of which are strikingly hand
some. The drug stores too exhibit charm
ing dressing cases and other articles suitable
for Christmas gifts.
"The Fair" is full of beautiful things for
The children. The dry goods stores are all
trimmed in holiday attire and the millinery
stores display elegant and costly articles for
the adornment of the ladies. In short every
store in the city has IFS attraction and all
will receive their share of attention from
now until New Years day.

DULL DAY.

OF all the dull days of the season for news
yesterday took the confectionery.
A reporter muffied himself up in his great
coat and started out on the war path, but
there was no war. He first made break for
the Santa Fe depot but there was not the
shadow of an item there. Returning he met
Bill Richey who said, "Pi.ch into somebody
like thunder-give us something startling.
On his way down town he met several who
in reply to his questions, said. "Tell them it
is cold, teen, how do you like it," and
calculations of similar kind. Jim Richey
said there was dog convention about his
house the night before and says the
people ought to feed their dogs wei
such times as these, because if they have to
live on snow and other delicacies of the sea-
son they are apt to get mad about it, there
fore hydrophobia would be the result. Eli
Refers was found at the postoffice, as mad
as march hare. He said somebody pois.
oned bis dog the night before and that if he
knew positively who it was the man had
better encounter a cyclone. At Justice
Thomas Office gentleman pointed out three
large jugs, that had been used in the Saddle
Rock saloon, to the reporter, and told him
that was Burchard's famous speacb, rum,
Romanism and Rebellion" This was very
apt illustration, but there was no
rum in the jugs-rum would not keep
very well in a court. nohow. At Justsce
Hobbs court be learned that the case Of
Roberts against the city was not decided
vet. Another case was in the mill, A. G.
Payne against James Crupper. After listen
ing to the lawyers awhile, the reporter learn
ed that in legal phaseology this thing was
called an action for forcible retention; which

Diabolcal smiles were observed playing
over the countenances of our merchants,
when the other day the festive zephyr
struck us, and the relaxation of the elonga-
ted and rigid countenances took on alarm
ing symptoms of excessive hilarity as the
wailing, insipid rain storm developed into a
full fedged second class blizzard.
Especially were the dry goods and cloth
ing men happy as they rubbed their hands
in ectacies and declared that they would
now show those fellows, that were still robed
in tissue-paper underwear, fur-trimmed lin
Ell ulsters and straw hats and declaring that
they were too warm, that they must now
come to time or freeze TO death.
1t had been hard struggle for dealers,
some had sighed and said they were stuck
on wooden underwear. others had groaned
and declared that overcoats wouldn't go,
while the man who handled seal-skin
saques had made application for the first
opening in lunatic asylum.
Every dog has his day, the ice cream man
is at last crowded to the wall, the fan is
layed away for the season, the street slipper
is called in and now the hilarious dealer in
woolens looks smilingly out from behind a
stack of fleecy, inviting wooden blankets and
remarks to shivering humanity that is
cold.

COLD FACTS.

Tafy is sweet and easy to take, but the
members Of the G. A. r. are matter-of-fact,
stern old veterans, and they demand facts.
1t has been stated that the receipts arising
from the recent lecture OF Colonel Buckner
in behalf of the G. A. r. amounted to near
ly $500. This is mistake, and it is but just
to correct it, as the "boys' do not care to

THAT CHARITY BALL.

Allusion was made in Yesterdays EAGLE
to the charity ball ard musical entertain
ment, to be given at the opera house on
Wednesday evening, the 18th inst. We can
not urge upon our people in terms too
! strong the importance Of making this enter
tainment financial success. II should be
understood at the outstart that the net pro-
ceeds will not be used for any other than
charitable purposes, nor exclusively for the
benefit of the wards of the Grand Army.
This is noble work that certain ladies End
gentlemen OF our city have undertaken to
accomplish. To be successful they must
have your encouragement, and in order to
secure them against loss, from possible bad
weather, committees from the Ladies' Aux
Hilary Aid society will wait upon you at your
homes or places of business and solicit
you to purchase ticket. Now please don't
meet them with scowl or stake to the
woods" on their approach. Don't blandly
tell them that you "nevcr Dance" or that
"charity begins at home" Not one of the
ladies placed on these committees but would,
as matter of choice, rather bend over a
wash tub all day long than walk into
crowded store room, or even accost you on
the street, and meet with rebuff. This en-
tertainment to meet the demands Of pressing
want should net the management at least
$500. This means work, and it means some
thing more. 1t means liberality to the ex-
tent of purchasing 500 tickets at 81 each.
Such ticket viii admit one gentleman and
ladies to the musical entertainment, the ball
and the camp fire supper. 1t would be a
handsome thing to say in our issue of Thurs
day morning next that 500 one dollar tickets
had been sold and enough of the twenty five
cent tickets for the gallery to defray all the
expenses.
Some of the best local talent our favored
city affords have kindly consented to assist
in the early exercises Of the evening. Mrs.
DIR. Furley, Prof Price and Miss Price will
fulfill public expectation in recitation. Prof
Arbuckle will be heard in solo. The Quar-
tette club and Glee club will entertain you
immensely, and the old soldiers will make

EIyGMAS. Dec. IL. 1884.

KINGMAN, Dec. IL, 1884.
To the Editor of the Eagle:
Judge Sluss opened court this morning
all smiling. He actually had a case to try.
No pleading guilty to-day.
Hannah Bayless, a large-boned female,
with face resembling museum wax figure
said she wanted divorce from Thomas. She
said they married at the "old church" in
Morris county, Kansas, three years ago.
That Thomas was sixty-five and she was
ffty-fve. When the court asked her if she
had had any children by this marriage, all
Of the great unwashed began 10 laugh, and
the question was withdrawn by the court.
He saw the point and was satisfied. She
said Thomas had neglected his duty and so
charged in her bill. Your correspondent
asked the court what such charge meant,
and was informed that it was a mild term
that ancient and antigusted females had to
express their fear that their husbands con-
sidered them nothing but faded flower,
and they wanted the qualification in consid-
ering second or third venture. She got a
decree, enriched with the experience in the
divorce court. She can embark again on
the sea of matrimony knowing well, if she
lives long enough, should the sailing not be
fair, a haven was always at hand. Notwith-
standing it has been cold, raw day, Thorn
as Bayless let his wife attend court alone,
while he cemented Kingman's asher granite
into stone wall. He only expressed him
self to friend that his wife's life should be
a festival, filled with heavenly benedictions,
but it was not.
jerome Trinity VS.. W. & W. r. r. is on

Graves, Shelley & Co. VS.. J. c. Chamber
lin; judgment for S6s.3S for plaintiff.
The condition of Milton Payne, who was
accidentally SHOT yesterday afternoon while
out rabbit hunting one mile down the river
by his companion, Harley Blachley, young
married man and comp aratively new
conner here, is in fair way to recover, but
will probably always be blind. So swollen
are the eyes that they are nearly out Of their
socket. He is resting as comfortable as
could be expected. He is perfectly con-
scious and understands all that is said, and
with difficulty speaks little. He attaches
no blame to Mr.. Blachley. 1t was simply
an accident, like undreds OF others. Some
cuss started the story around
town that Blachley had skipped the town,
but there is not word Of truth in it. Mr..
b. called at the house this evening to see
Mr.. Payne, and feels most troubled about
the accident. He is ready and willing to do
to administer to the sufferers
wants. In justice to Mr.. Blachley, be it
said, that not breuth of suspicion has come
from those near and dear to the unfortunate.
Mr.. b. owns fine team, wagon and harness,
does good business and is respected by
everybody who has made his acquaintance.
