THE PLASrERERs' MEETING

Touching the report of the plasterers'
meeting which appeared in yesterday Is
EAGLE, it is hardly necessary to state that
although the reporter who received the copy
of the resolutions did not follow the Ian
guage of the copy, what was published en-
bodied the idea intended to be conveyed by
the meeting, more clearly than did the
document itself. James Norton, who the
reporter had known for about two wears.
and another young man. whom the writer
did not know, brough, the copy of the reso-
lutions 10 this Office and submitted them 10
the reporter, who informed them tina, they
contained good deal of unnecessary verb
age and "wheresses." The boys then re-
quested the reporter 10 dress i, up as be
thought best, SO that ii conveyed the senti-
ments of the meeting. The idea the meeting
wished TO convey was simply that certain
inferior mechanics in that line were taking
contracts at rates SC low that responsible
contractors could not compete with them
and pay their skilled hands fair wages, thus
iniicting an injury on the journeymen
plssterers. This was plainly conveyed in
the report written by the reporter s; the re-
quest of the young men who brought the
resolutions, and the reporter met one of the
men yesterday morning, who thanked him
for WIS. he had done. Tha, is all there is
Of If, but whoever gave it to the Beacon
omitted the names that were signed TO the
document, which makes that report incos-
rect.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER.

Yesterday, one of the most beautiful days
of the season, was gala day on the streets
of Wichita.
White the streets were quite muddy and
prevented the gay equipages from being
out, yet the sidewalks were thronged with
pedestrians almost all day, and the shopping
and examining of pretty things went on
with unusual activity.
Every body and their sweethearts were
out with their uncles, their cousins and their
aunts, and the beautiful spring weather re-
minded us of a fair April day.
The fields of wheat and snow having been
covered with carpet of snow during a
week Of cold weather, was protection to
it, and now since it Is gone has again put
out its tendrils and actually grown for
week past.
The Christmas comes with fair skies and
sunshine shedding its rays on valley and
plain, city and hamlet, and the people can
rejoice in seasons of boun.iful harvests and
from their stores live samptio1sly until
again the fields again give up their stores.
Merry Christmas without the sleigh bells
may seem odd to some, but the Christmas
trees are all weighed down with fair treas
ures.

CARVING.

A little carving affair occurred on Douglas
avenue on Wednesday night, at joint and
and restaurant, which came near being o
killing. Perhaps the fellow who was
| administered on with the knife will not have
another US close call until he is required to
pass in his checks for last cash up. A re-
porter had sight of the fellow, who is q
sport, on the afternoon after he had been
sewed up, and from all appearances he had
come very, very near loosing on the turn.
He had head on him that was a real
munsard roof. with number of big gashes
around the left ear, partially severing it from
his head. \ shingle roof to chicken-coop
would be no comparison to the double-scuttle
he wore as he delightfully."- detailed the cir
cumstsnces of his escape.
The true inwardnoss of the affair is as fol-
lows:
George Smith is the keeper of house
| CALLED the Red Light, an hsrbor for many
fallen characters, where a revenue is duly
collected to swell the city revenue, in con-
sideration of which, the place is tolerated
by the officers. Charley Smith is a sport
and aspires to mingle as one of the patrons
of the place. For some reason the twain
came together "Wednesday night and the
carving business commenced and did not
end until Charlie WAS de hors. As it hap
pened no life WAS lost in the matter, and
after the surgeon had sewed about two yards
of gaping wounds the combatants are in q
fair way to recover in time for the next,
without losing many days.
The courts were not officially informed
of the matter up to a late hour yesterday.

POLICE DETECTIVES.

Every city ofany considerable size has q
core Of secret police, or police detectives,
who wear no star nor insignia of officer.
Leavenworth and Topeka have two OF
three each and Atchison has two. Wichita
has none, but she ought to have at least
one.
A policeman's badge is warning to
thieves and evil doors to keep out of the
way, hence they rarely catch smart thief
The police detectiye should be man who
has Travelled much and who is Thoroughly &C
quainted with thief-catching, and he should
also be a man of nerve. This city las ar
rived at the point where at least one such
officer is necessary to the welfare Of the

CHRISTMAS EVE.

Wichita's Churches Decorated in Commemo
ration of Merry. Merry Christmas.

right happy time with the little ones, and
their merry countenances shone brightly all
over. Early in the evening the sidewalks
we're crowded with hurrying people on their
way TO the various churches Of the city
nearly ali Of which were crowded with the
little ones. accompanied by their friends to
enjoy their pleasures. A reporter wen!
around to visit the churches and note the
various entertainments of the evening, and
was surprised at the immense turnout Of
young people.
Methods. Church - On entering the
Methodist church which was entirely
crowded with young people and children.
The altar was decorated with pyramids Il
fruits and candies fanked on each side with
Christmas trees, illuminated and freighted
with choice and luxurious presents. Behind
ali this WAS the woody habitation of Old
Kris krinkle,who sailed out in his bells and
urs, and beard very Santa Claus and
distributed the gifts with the assistance of
others. Judge Stanley was as happy as any
Of the children is officiating as assistant to
Old Kris. 1t was a lovely sight, and happi-
ness sparkled in the eyes of all the little
ones who cheered every act of the pro-
gramme.
Presbyterian church-On entering the
Presbyterian church an equally pleasant
sight met the eye of the reporter. A short
service and song was held by the pastor and
Mr. Veterinarian, when the splendid
Christmas tree WAS dismsniled for the chill
dren. The tree was loaded down with good
les and WAS illuminated with lights. The
church was decorated and notices on the
walls, such as "Glory 20 God in the high
est, Peace, good will toward men," and
other appropriate quotations. This church
was also crowded and the utmost enjoyment
Was bad By the children.

Smith was officiating there, in command of
the exercises, and seine nice pieces were
presented as well as lots of beautiful song..
At the Rink-At the rink large audi
ence listened TO the discourse. of Major
White and Rev. Patterson. 1t is some

ligion that so many would be there when so
many other places held rel igious services.
German Evangelical Lutheran Church
On entering the opera house which was
well filed with children and their parents,
the splendidiy decorated and illuminated

THAT BABY DOLL.

Perhaps no scheme thst has ever been &C.
visej in this city for the benefit of tie
children, has created so deep an interest,
nor has been productive Of SO much benefit
to the class eligible to enter the lists, as has
the contest for the elegant baby doll that
Cash Henderson, the manager Of the New
York store, offered as prize to the girl be-
tween the ages Of three and ten years, who
would construct the greatest number Of
words from the letters composing the
phrase, "Kohn & Cos, New York store"
Thirty-eight little girls entered the con-
test and strcve with might and main for the
coveted prize. They searched every dc
tionsry, old spelling book and bible they
could get hold OF, and underwent course
of mental action and research such rs but
few children undergo.
The reporter heard one lady speaking of
what efforts her little girl had put forth, and
she said the girl learned more in her search
and the mental exercise benefited her as
much as years schooling.
The contest began two months ago, and
the product which the reporter saw in big
paper box at the New York store yesterday,
gave testimony Of the work the children had
done. The long rolls of manuscript the
girls had brought in on Monday morning
we're curious sight to examine.
As may be seen by reference to the SUBJ
oined list, the highest number Of words is
!, 095 and the lowest, nine. Mr.. Henderson
s determined that all the girls shall have a
,ice present, so that their labors have not
been in vain. He has number of other
'ery nice dolls that he will give them and
hose who do not get doll will get some
hing else. The exercise is worth q great
leal to the little girls anyway. The prize
Toll and the other presents will be delivered
his morning, SO the little girls are all re-
luested to come to the store. Each girl
ent a letter Of transmittal with their list |
nd each requested her manuscript back,
nd they will get them. Two fine dresses
nd hats to match go with the big doll. |
