New Orleans dispatch: For more than

tors, over and above the amounts pro-
vlded for by the congressional appropri-
alton OF $685.. 900. With the creditors
paid off and the permission of the ma

NEW YORK, June 15.-Mrs. Sarah

TOPEKA OPERA HOUSES.

Topeka dispatch: The management of
the Grand opera house has been changed
somewhat since Saturday, and Verities
the runor that has been heard for sew
eral weeks past. Mr.. @. F. KIndGll, a
former dry goods prince of this city, has
purchased the interest heretofore con-
trolled by Mr.. L. NJ. Wood, one of the
directors, and associate manager, and
MIR. L n. Crawford, of the Topeka opera
house, has purchased the first mortgage
bonds, amounting to $4,000, also the
interest in the stock owned by Nr. D. +.
Updegraff and wife. The management
ot the house is consequently placed In
the hands of the new controlling stick
holder, Mr.. Crawford. This is q change
that has been looked for since the Grand
opened, and one that has been wished for
by the majority of Topeka's play
goers. The house has not reaped q rich
harvest for those interested, but it is
thought that since Mr.. Crawford has the
management of both houses, the amuse-
ment circles of Topeka will be furnished
with the best talent, and without crowd
ing the season with plays at both houses
at the same time. The rivalry that has
existed heretofore between the two
houses has flooded Topeka with amuse-
ments when one manager could have
moro evenly distributed the shows
through the season. Mr.. Crawford in
tends using his own house for light dra.
matte talent, and the Grand for spectac-
ular plays and large operas and concerts,
the latter being much the larger house.
Asan Offset to this Messrs G. w. Her
ron, w. w. Gavitt, G. F. Kendall and D.
D. Knox publish the following card.
To all persons whom it may concern:
You will take notice that we the under
signed owners OF lots 1913, 1916 and 1877,

AN TNTPODVOTTON


Father Baker, of the Commonwealth,
made the following happy speech at To
peka last evening in presenting to an au-
dience assembled under the auspices of
Press Club, the lecturer of the occasion,
one of the most prominent newspaper
men in Kansas.
II is hardly necessary for me to intro
duce TO Topeka audience the gentle
man who is 10 address you this evening.
He came to this city almost in pre- his
toric time, 80 far as Topeka Is concerned.
One cold November day in 1869 he
walked across the old pontoon bridge
from q station almost III the woods on
the north side OF the Kaw, where there
is now population OF nearly 1000 PEG.
pie. He found on this side Of the river
between 5000 and 5000 people. His
first article, written tor the old State
Record, for which paper he was for the
next three years the local editor, was to
describe his first impression of Topeka,
and particularly that pontoon bridge.
The morning that it appeared ! made
up my mind that he was much like q
singed cat-much ADLER than was will
ling to concede the night before.
Since that time he has been promi-
nently before the people of this state. If
l remember Alright, after the State Record
collapsed, he went TO work on the Law
renee Journal, and afterwards on the
Junction City Union. From there he
came to Topeka on the 9TH of March,
1875, and became associate editor of the
Commonwealth and retained that posi-
ton about two and one-hslf years. Most
of the bright, witty things which ap-
peared IN the State Record or the Com
monwealth came from his pen, or rather
from his pencil, for but few newspaper
men ever use pen.
His letters from Europe, from Phila-
delphia and other points of this country
in the Record and Commonwealth have
seldom been surpassed in any paper,
whether judged as literary efforts or the
giving Oft vast amount OF news in con-
densed form.
For a number of years he has been as
sociate editor of the Atchison Champion
aud since its editor has been governor l
conclude sole editor. In all the editorI-
al positions he has filed, he has not only
given satisfaction to his chiefs, but also
made the paper on which he worked
readable and popular.
He is to talk to you to night on "The
| Temptations of Smith, which, l take it,
means each and every member of the
human family. Permit me to introduce
to you Mr. Noble L. Prentls.

MaxweII,s Arrest.

SAN Francisco, June 15.-The steam.
er City of Sidney. from Australia, az
rived this morning with Sydney advices
Of May 81, and Auckland, New Zealand,
news of May %. The Auckland papers
contain the account of the arrest On the
25th Of Hay of Walter II. Lennox Max
well, ialias Theodore Cecil DaugueF,
charged with having murdered Charles
A. PrelIer at st. Louis, April IS.
The arrest was msde by the U. s.
Consul Gamble, who received . tele-
gram from the chief Of police of St.
Louis with instructions 70 that effect.
Two days later Consul Gamble received
telegram from the United States secre-
tary of state authorizing him to
make the arrest. Two detectives
boarded the steamer at Firitiri. The
purser. in reply to their questions, stated
that there was man among
the Storage passengers bearing
MaxWelrs description. He was sum-
moned ON deck and the first question
asked him was whether he was q doctor.
He promptly denied this, saying he was
a native Of France and an officer in the
French army. The detectives informed
him that they had q warrant for his ar
rest and would have to take him
into custody. MAXWELL appeared to be
disconnected, but recovered his CON-
posure while the officers were hand-cuf-
ing him, coolly remarking that the whole
matter was q mistake which would be
quickly explained away. On May
he was taken into the police
court-and the charges against him read.
The case was remanded till the 11th.
On that day the case was brought up
and Consul Gamble was the first witness
called. He testified on behalf of the
prosecution as to the various articles
found in Maxwell's trunk, which among
other things contained two embroidered
handkerchief, on one sc. A. P" and
shirt with large spots of blood
on it. In reply to the question as to
how the articles. not bearing the initials
of his name. came into his possession,
Maxwell said they had been given him
at San Francisco by a man named Rob-
inson. Detective TwoheY, one of the
two who arrested Maxwell on the steam
er, testified to finding the following artl-
Giles in his grIp-sack: "a cuffs. two hand
kerchiefs, all marked az. a. P.;" q
memorandum book; pocket medical
dictionary in which was the name "W.
p. Lennox Maxwell, NJ. H., T. A. R.
G. s." and dressing case marked "W.
P. Lennox Maxwell" All of these arti-
cles Maxwell said he bought from the
same man, Robinson, in San Francisco.
Judge Smith, who was hearing the case,
stated he would remand Maxwell for
eight days until tho officers from st.
LOUIS arrived.

ARANSAS INVENTION.

George Baldridge of Lawrence, whom
the writer remembers tor a dozen years
past as a telegraph operator and Inven-
tor and an adept at anything pertaining
to electricity, has patented an instrument,
which is attracting wide attention. The
Lawrence Herald and Tribune says:
Mr.. Baldridge has two different styles
of machines, one being intended for Or
binary use, and having torty-one keys,
while the other is moro elaborate, hav-
ing ffty-three keys, and is intended tor
reporting or doing the work ordinarily
performed by the telephone. The trans
mitter is attached 10 a wire like an or
binary telegraph instrument, and oper-
ates like an ordinary type writer. Every
time a button is depressed il registers at
the other end of the wire, the proper
dashes, dots and spaces which represent
the letter on ITS face in the telegraph
alphabet. A stenographer can take a
a speech on the machine and telegraph
il at the same time. Thus a speech is
made in the United States SEN
ate at Washington might be
recorded in St. LOUIS, Mon.
treal New York, or any other point up
on the circuit, as Ii progresses. Il test
has been made of the machine, which is
known as the "Baldridge Transmitter,' -
| and it Ia said to have worked perfectly
The main Office is IN Denver, Colo, and
Mr. g. T. Smith, superintendent of the
Union Pacific road, is president of the
concern. 1t the machine performs al
that is claimed for 1t, and il operates al
right at the test, the telegraph companies
will probably adopt 1t instead of the in
| struments now in use, as il possesses 8,
many advantages over them.

CHOICE OF OCCUPATIONS.

Scientific American: Much is said in
writings for youth" as TO the import
ance OF choosing such an occupation for
life as natures inclinations appear 20
favor, and in some instances resort has
been made to professional head and face
readers to indicate the line in which the
uniformed mind should be directed. But
it is often the fact that even q thinking
and sensible boy Is not aware of any decis-
iVe"call"toa particular pursuit. Much of
this INDIGESTION probably comes from the
fact that the call for a choice occurs at
about the time in years and development
when the subject Is unified to make a
choice-"not q man, nor q boy, but q
hobbledehoy." as an old saw has it.
1t is foolish to STRIKE out, "msp out''
or arrange" for boys future calling
by means of his expressed desire ct the
callow age; the boy will naturally grav-
Itate to his proper line-if the circum-
stances do not hlnder-it those who have
TO deal with him do not interfere. 1t is
not difficult to astertain If there is
"beDt" in the boys inclination. If it is
decided, then the influences and circum.
stances should be brought TO bear in that
direction. Bat it is best TO start. Many
make mistakes because they do not un-
derstand, and sometimes these early mis-
takes extend through the lifetime; but
Burritt was a fair blacksmith, Collyer
was a good one, Lincoln was good rail
splitter, and johnson was good tailor.
1t would be assnmptive to say that the
course of these men would have been
better if at the beginning they had be-
come linguist, preachers, statesmen and
presidents. Perhaps it is better that
they we're what they were at the begin
ming.
A friend OF ours was to be an artist
If he could have governed circum-
stances; he became a machinist and
mechanical engineer because it was in
his way. Certainly he has done more
useful work as mechanic than he ever
could have done as an artist.
If there is any moral TO facts as TO
fables, 1t might be that the best thing
that an ambitious young man can do is
to do the first thing that comes TO him,
the first thing he can reach by going for
it, and watch and wait opportunities for
better things

EDITORS NEWS: The work of the VIC.
T. u, although done in very quiet and
unostentatious manner, is not intended
to be hidden under bushel." But to
penetrate and permeate all branches OF
society, with its purifying and Chris
tianizing influences.
The moving spirit in the first organi-
zation was the temperance cause, but as
the Christian women assembled to con-
suit on that subject, and with praYerful
spirit to do good, the field enlarged,
workers were daily added, dormant pow
ers of action were developed, and when
ever an opportunity presented itself,
where Christian women could labor with
hope of success, it was eagerly grasped,
until now the work is DIVIDED into more
than forty different branches of national
work, with q proper superintend-
emit at the head of each department.
But not content with an organization in
each state and territory of Jour home
couatrY, we have sent an agent around
the world, wherever the English Ian
guage is spoken, to introduce temper
ance with Christianity. The work in
each local union may be small, but the

pices of the W. G. T. U. women, who
have left the restful home comforts of

age the work, surely should have the
sympathy and support of all who are in.
terested in the welfare of the city. The
eagerness with which the inmates of ouI
county jail receive the literature sent

greet the "prison committee" shows
that there is tender spot in the vIlesl
heart, although 1t may be covered with

RAINY KANSAS.

Atchison Champion: We have read
somewhere of land which was never

the word "drouthy." All historical
events were spoken of as before or after
the ''drouth Of 80" Friends Of this SUM-
stricken country spologlzed for its dry
ness; mildly interpreting g theory that
the rainfall, though not as copIous a.

slight, fell in the summer months. il
was announced in every local news

like the pertinacious crow of a diving
gamecock-grittY, but not joyful. That
country was Kansas. You may have
heard OF "drouthy Kansas" Perhaps
you have met on the high road.

Kansas, is no more. 1t has gone to find
Ponce de Icons fountain of youth; or
the golden couutry of Eldorado; or per.
haps 1t has sunk with the lost Atlantis.
At any rate no man can find il. There

nothing but water, principally rain wa

pie two or three years ago pushed out 10
the western limit of the state and went
to digging irrlgating bitches on the sup
position thatit would not rain. The
bitches are used now to carry off the sur.

was thought would now smoothly and
swiftly between the ashy banks of earth
