PEARL OF SAVOY. =

So We are to have repetition Of the"Pearl
OF Savoy, said an EAGLE reporter to Mrs.
Hunt, whom he found quite willing to talk
up the merits of the play and its success
here. "Yes, on the 18th of February if
nothing happens 10 prevent it." She was
very careful TO emphasize the latter part Of
her sentence. MY grea. faith in being able
to surmount all obstacles has been somewhat
shaken since failed to control few laws
of nature last December / never thought l
should ever be too i'll TO do anything if l
wished to, and in all my public experience
that was the fret time l had occasion to
change my mind. Now if had only frozen
my ears or my feet could have finished
the engagement, but TO have the cold strike
in such an unmanageble wa, it was truly
exasperating."
'Does not the excitement Of the occasion
together with vigorus acting have tendency
to warm one up"
Generally speaking, yes, but there are
degrees of temperature that require some
thing more substantial. For instance, good
furnace, or better, two good furnaces. Then
there is another good scheme Of having glass
in the windows and doors that Will close. In
my opinion, these things have greater warm
ing qualities than dramatic enthusiasm
.'Do you propose to make any changes or
Improvements in the play
at will be presented pretty much as be-
fore, with as much improvement as can be
made in three extra rehearsals."
"Were you not gratiied with the ability
of our local talent?''
at is the best have ever seen and the
easiest 10 direct
There has been such constant demand
for the reproduction Of the play, | wonder
you have not repeated it before this"
81 have waited TO be thoroughly restored
to health, for warmer weather and for a
cessation Of amusements. 1t has grown to
be a laughable fact that every person whom
meet and know invariably salutes me with
how is your health and part with when

Then l have reversed the order Of things
by asking the latter question first, and if you
will allow me to take my leave by inquiring
after your health | will bid you good day

TO the SPOILERS THE VICTORY.
JNo. KELLY,
RoDoLPH HATFIELD,
r. T.. LAWRENCE.

Six members of the Sedgwick county
Democratic Central conn ittee got together
day before yesterday and chose Frank
Smith for postmaster at Wichita. They did
for fact, and then endorsed Ii. g. Toler
for United States marshal, Frank Dale for
register United States land Office and A. W
Snyder, one of the committee, for postmaster
at Cheney. 1t seems so awfully funny, but
We can't say that we are doing any kicking.
We wonder if that Is the way the thing is to
done all around, and what voice or interest
the fellows up nj PAYNE and out AZ Cheney
have in the Wichita postoflice! And then
what kind of an iiea must Judge Amos
Harris have, after forty years pulling in the
harness, or Gov. Glenn, after another half
century, work. ofsuch summary proceedings
But the Democracy, YOU know, are all OPP
posed To rings. There can be no ring bust
ness in all that. OF course not. We
wouldn't dare laugh but it pretty nearly
bursts Us 10 hold in. With all the solemnity
of an invite to the mourner's bench the
doin's are recorded in their official organ,
last evenings Beacon. \ Sons of Malta in
itiation in comparison Is a funeral process
sion. The end men of the newest negro
minstrel combination simply lose the tide in
the affairs of humor which means an ever
lasting fortune if they fail 10 catch on 10
those published proceedings. "Unani-
nous" Well We reckon. Unanimous, but
fcebly reaches the meat of the joke. Those
who have been predicting for Mr.. Cleveland
such perpleNing environments will now com
prehend what real craftsmanship can nc
compli>h and how triAing after all il the
postoflice problem. Governor \. \. Glenn,
Judge Amos Harris andthe rest Of the noble
train Of disappointeds are hereby cordially
invited to come up and with us she'd tear
or two, or perhaps three, over the blasted
ambiions-of the other fellows-and help u
10 embrace the opportunity TO resolve upon
4 new and better life.

COMMERCIAL.

The week just closed was probably the
dullest from a commercial point OF view in
the history of this city. The roads have
been so wretchedly bad that it was an i'm
possibility TO haul grain TO the city. Yes
terday the few farmers who came IN did lit
tie business more than 10 get their mail. \
few came in with few bushels Of wheat
drawn by four horses. Double teams and
four abrest were used in hauling very light
loads on the streets. 1t was generally ad-
united TO be the dullest Saturday of the

THE SKATING RINK.

y portion of the eastern press has opened
up an awful fight on the skating rink and
the battle in some localities overshadows the
prohibition, the tariff. the railroad freight
and all other political and social problems.
The skating rink has become craze in some
towns and cities, its devotecs numbering all
sizes, sexes and ages, the bald headed grand
pap being as red hot in his dcvotions TO the
rink As the boy Just out of school. The ex-
ercise is a healthy one, but the objection is
urged that in the daily and nightly gather
ings all kinds OF social naughtiness and dew
ilment is Matched. All grades, characters,
cliques and circles meet at the rink on a
common level and from these come results
that sets the social waters TO foaming. The
only way out of the dilemma that we can
see. considering that this is a free country
for those who don't believe in skating rink
influences, Is TO stay away from them and
forbid their children, while those who like
the fun and can see no harm, Is to go their
full lcngth--on the floor of the rink il they
