all the butter is more or less mixed with oleo-
margarine that glucose is q preponderating

might be greatly extended in Boston, and in
every city and locality in the land. Are

these nefarous practices. The adulteration

THE students of Harvard College are rebel
ling against the iron-clad compulsory rule
requiring attendance at morning prayers
at least they are petitioning to be released
from the requirement to attend, and leaving
it optional There is not much probability
that the minds of the young gentleman would
be severely damaged by attending prayers.
Some of them, no doubt, are ''past PRAYING
for" Ex-President Hill, of Harvard, now a
resident of Maine, sympathizes with the
young men who wish to sairk prayers. He
writes:
81 took the letter and post card which you
forwarded me concerning prayers at Harvard
college to the Rev. Asa Dalton, vice president of
our Maine Harvard club, and we carefully con-
sidered them He authorizes me to say that he
cordially agrees with me in what l am about TO
say: We sympathize fully with the object at
which the young gentlemen aim. 1t is in our
Judgment impoliiic, if not unjust, to require
attendance Ut prayers of all undergraduates room
ing within half mile or within quarter of a
mile of the chapel. There ought to be u pro-
vision by which students over 81 and the parents
of those under 81 could obtain release from the
requisitiOu; it wond give reality and meaning
to the religious import of attendance At Anti
och student TO whom l gave permission, at mis-
fathers request, to be always absent, became
Immediately regular and punctual in coming: he
had, it appears, complained only of the comp IL
sion, and was willing and glad to come when
free"
1t is not little singular that prayer should
become so irksome aud fall in such disrepute
in Puritan New England. Morning prayers
have been required and observed in all or
thodOx American colleges from their very
earliest foundation. But then old Harvard
is not orthodox. 1t is more aesthetic than re
|
es there may easily be pretermitted there.
1t is natural that Ex-PresidenJ Hill should
advocate relaxation of the prayerrule, he,
himself having advanced beyond the line of
strict old-fashioned Puritanism.

that was worn by one Of the pilgrims. The bows
are of steel, an eighth of an inch wide, and the
glass is as thick plate glass, making the
weight of the spectacles five ounces. From such
ponderous appliances as these, then, have the
modern eye glasses of the typical Boston girl

HE WANTED TO DIE.

VIM. Martin, youn. man "a years o
age, committed suicide at his fathers house
| about three miles from Goddard, last Sat.
urday night. Martin, senior, and one Of
the sons are out west on claims, and it ap.
pears this young man had had some trouble
with his mother and ana a younger brother
and that for that or some other reason he has
been seriously considering taking his own
life for some time back, as appears from the
fact that he bought the poison with which
to put himself out of the world in this city
about week ago. He told the folks al
home that he had got some medicine in
tired of life, but they paid no attention 10
the matter.
1t seems that on the evening on which he
committed the deed he had some trouble
with his mother and brother, after which he
struck out for Goddard and got himself full
Of beer. He came home about 6 O'Clock
and sat sullenly in the house for awhile,
when he jumped up suddenly and went out
to the barn Not returning, the younger
brother went out TO look for him
when he was discovered laying down be-
hind a hay stack. When asked what he
was doing there he replied that he wanted
to die, but when the stuff, which is supposed
to be arsenic. began to play Greeo-Roman
and catch-ss- cstch-csn with his intenstines
he changed his mind and told his brother to
go for doctor, but il was too late. The
boy returned with doctor from Goddard
about . o'clock but he was q corpse long
before that.
Coroner Garrison was made accounted
with the facts Sunday morning and went
out to hold an inquest. The verdict was in
accordance with the foregoing facts

ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Topeka and Emporia have made contract.
with the Toinson-Houston Electric Light
company and row Wichita for certain and
Newton probably will follow suit. Judge
Hill, president of our gas works, has con.
,racted with the company and We are to
have this beautiful light sure enough.
Last night the following Newton gentle
men came down to see the practical work
ings OF the light
Hon. ID. w. Wilcox, mayor; q. b. Hill
dreth and Ed. Slater, councilmen; p. Ian
ders. c. r. McLain, cashier of the Newton
National bank; J. ?. Ford, superintendent
Newton water works, and A. b. Lemon, edi-
tor of the Newton Republican. These gen.
tlemen, together with our gas works, and
several other gentlemen assembled in
the Wichita Cracker and Confec-
tionery factory, where the electric
machine was attached TO the engine OF the
cracker factory, TO view the workings of
the electric light.
The factory was lighted with one Jet and
SO bright was It tina: every article in the
large room could be seen and newspaper
could be read in the remotest corher more
clearly than with day light. The gsss tina,
WAS lighted near it compared with it in
about the same degree that a lighted match
does with gas jet. Niederlsnder's large
Office was lighted with one light which msde
the whole Office clearer than a day Of the
brightest sun. Notwithstanding tina, the
night was ioggy the lamp at the intersec-
section Of Douglas and Topeka avenues gave
such a bright light that one could see pin
on the side walk hundred yards SWAY from
the light.
The gentlemen from our sister city ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased with
what they saw and there is no doubt thst
they will recommend the electric light.

A SAD CASE.
A Case for Charitable Ladies
to Look After.
A Halstead Girl, Driven From Home
Comes TO This City and Falls
Into the Hands Of the
Philistines.

A case of a peculiarly horrible nature in
which a prepossessing girl Of fourtee,
figures as the principle actor WAS disclosed
to an EAGLE reporter yesterday morning
For certain reasons no names are given.
The story as told by one who had OBJ.
tanned some of the particulars, il as fol-
lows:
The young girl, who is good looking
rosy checked young Miss of IA, was driven
from her home at or near Halstead by the
cruelty Of her s;ep-father, at least that is the
story she tolls. She walked along the rail-
road to this city, and having no friends
here she fell into the hands of the Philis-
tines and her ruin was accomplished.
LAST Saturday night young man took
her 20 a certain boarding house on the ives.
side where the pair remained together
during the night and itappears INDUCED in
strong drink. On Sunday the girl was
drinking and behaving in such disgusting
manner abou; he Fifth ward that the police
thought it proper to lock her up and she
was brought over to the cooler.
This is one of those pee ulisrly distressing
cases that oecasionly come to light, and
which, ladies engaged in humane work
would do well to investigste,and, if possible,
reclaim the victim before it is too late The
Lord only knows how many such outrages
are perpetrated in our midst during the year,
and which in the busy whirl of life is over
looked until the victim is beyond redemp-
ton. The good. Christian people of our
city attend TO their daily avocations, attend
church, other religious work, and our bust
ness men are engaged in specializing and
money making. Everything looks serene
upon the surface, and the average citizen
imagines that the moral st tus of our city
is remarkably sound. How little they know
what is daily and nightly transporting in the
lower walks of life, how often some poor,
friendless creature is caught in the meshes
of vice and is dragged down, down, until
she fills a premature and dishonored grave,
because no helping hand Is held forth to
raise her up. If there be any who wish to
interest themselves in the case under consid- |
Grafton they can probably ascertain her
from the police.

many people Of this city. many of whom

the religious seekers of wealth from the un-

the truths preached 10 them night after
