A aEREAyEp FATHER

In September, 1888, A. T. Cheshire, 6
poor but honest and industrious man, came
to Wichita with his family from North Car.
olina to avail himself of the advantages Of
the Arkansas valley, and especially that his
children might receive q share Of the bene-
fits of our magnificent public schools. He
found friends and employment; has been
with Hacker & Jackson in their business
since last August. But, alas! time seems to
have placed upon him the hand ofaflliction so
heavily that nothing but faith in the Christ
ian's God is left to hold up his head above
the gloom that now is about him. April
oath his cheerful little Bessie was suddenly
claimed as q shining mark by Tie grim mon
ster, death, in her sixth year. And then
again, June 2lst, his babe Minnie, IS months
old, was likewise taken from earth; and last
Sunday he was called to drink still deeper
the cup of sorrow and affection, in the death
of the wife of his bosom and mother of his
children. Yes, Carrie has joined the chill
dren on the other side. She had been
member of the NJ. p. church fourteen years.
She expressed her readiness to so and meet
her Master
Her funeral took place on Monday from

Mr.. John Hews, whose home is on Tope-
ka avenue in this city, left upon our table a
late variety of cherry which, from its hab-
its, size and shape, he thinks may be new
variety. 1t is very large bright red, heart
shaped cherry.
Mr.. John Stewart, superintendent CT the
county house, leaves branch of plum tree
upon our table of the green gage variety
which contains or holds about thirty plums
to each six inches of runnNg space on each
limb. The plum is about the only fruit
that has not been an entire success in this
valley. The curcutio is the enemy which
so far has destroyed the plum.

THE Chronicle has had its vision en- larged, since the days of Denis Kearney. That Journal thinks the Eastern news papers are making too much fuss over ODonovan Rossa and Mrs. Dudley "In point of fact" says this journal, "they well know he is a miserable crank, whose stock in trade is Irish patriotism and whose way of showing his patrio- tism IS conspiring at a perfectly safe distance from his enemy. His real ob- iectIve point is not, as he would have us believe, the Government of England, but the little savings of Irish servant girls The shooting of such fellow by crazy English woman is of no more account than any other similar breach of the peace and ought to attract no more at tention." Granted. But are not these Eastern papers doing exactly what the San Francisco papers did during 1877 to 80? Had the San Francisco papers acted on the same theory that the Chronicle IS now preaching to the Eastern press Denis kearney would never have been heard of outside of California. It is strange that people can see the faults of others, but entirely overlook similar faults of their own.
