A Good Irish Story.

Ga the boat coming down from the
Flats the other evening was Young
man and black bass. They were a
pair. That is, the young man had in
some way accumulated the fish. which
was dead. He was such a guileless-
looking young man that several par
ties thought to guy him in his catch.
The fish was handing to IA peg and
with it pair Of small balances which
enable fisherman to weigh his vic.

No reply.
Pull very hard - asked second.
No reply.
"Ne you very much oser three d4ys
about it," queried third, and SO it
went on for ten minutes, while the
fisherman had nothing to say. At
length one Of the crowd remarked:
That bass will weigh all of half i
pound.'

scales and he showed an ounce over.
The crowd kicked on the scales and
the fish was weighed in the steamers

he Was weighed over again when the
boat landed and the money had to be
passed over.
"How did you do it ?" asked police
man when the crowd had dispersed.
"Simply poured seventeen ounces of
bird shot down his throat" was the
reply; and he let the fsh's head drop
and the shot pattered out on the wharf
like young hail-storm."

state will soon be carved out Of tn
Cherokee Strip and Oklahoma, and
that our railroads will soou penetrate
that lovely land. There i two things
which has given Wichita such boom,
first, it is a commercial center, and
next, the opening up of new territory
and building up towns which are tri-
butary to it. Pres't. Grover will no

To the Editor of the Eagle.
In five years time, providing

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
In Eve years time, providing the
present increase of population in the
southwestern counties is sustained,
Wichita will have a wholesale market
for her goods much more extensive
and with less competition than any
other city west Of the Missouri river.
There are at least thirty counties most
of them west Of us, that will seek to
trade at the nearest wholesale market
and which ought to be Wichita beyond
a doubt. These counties will then
have, and putting it at low estimate,
from five TO forty thousand people
each. They include Sumner, Sedg-
wick and Harvey. 1t will not be very
far out of the way to place the total
population of these counties, within
the mex; five years. at not less than
four hundred thousand people, and by
taking in the counties of Butler, Cow
ley and Mcpherson we can safely
count on five hundred thousand peo-
pie who will naturally take to the
nearest commercial center and pur-
chase their goods there without send
ing to Kansas City or St.Louis. Besides
this, in ten years time it will not be
drawing too much on the imag,n
tons to say that these counties will
have in population round million.
To securethe trade Of this rich terri
tory is worthy of every effort that
can be put forth, and every dollar
spent in railroads or otherwise will
return 10 us with big interest. Other
cities and towns will hope 10 become
the center of trade for this rich and
thlckly settled territory, and every eff
fort will be put forth to this end by
them. But as TO the final results we
have no fears, the queen city has al
ways, AMI will continue to hold her
position a a trade center for the ter
ritory west and south Of her. Yet
Notwithstanding the superior advan-
tages of this city as a trade center.
the fact still remains that within the
last three or four years a change has
taken place in the wonderful develop
ment and growth in population of
these western counties that but few
expected to see.
Three or four years ago, except on
the line of the Santa Fe road, there
was scarcely farming community
west of Harper and Kingman coun-
ties. But now instead of what was
an uncultivated country stretching 200
miles west OF Wichita, we find a hum
dred live towns and cities with a cor
responding rural population. This
new territory wants and will find a
trading point nearer than Kansas City
and ST. Louis. 1t will be Wichita be-
yond a doubt, but it will also require
plenty of work and lots of money be-
fore we can secure The prize. Two
more railroads, one to Chicago and
the other to New Orleans, by way of
Fort Smith, will settle the question
for the next ten years at least. With
these two trunk Ines secured our
western connections are assured.
Every western road that builds south
of the Santa Fe line will be compelled
to connect with Wichita to get any
business $. W.

FOREIGNERS RIGHTS IN MEXICO.

A decision was recently rendered
in the Supreme Court of Mexico
that is important in its bearings on
foreigners. A year ago the munich
pal authorities of New Laredo con-
tiscated real estate in that city own
ed by Mr.. Walsh, an American citi-
zen, alleging that, as foreigner, he
could not own property in that
country. Mr.. Walsh procured an
injunction, and the District Judge
of New Laredo ruled that the seizure
was illegal. The case was appealed
to the Federal Court, which sus-
tanned the decision of the District
Court and ordered that restitution
of the property be made. 1t held
that Mexico cannot contiscate the
property of foreigners without a
violation of the Constitution, and
that no town can do that which the
country at large is forbidden to do.

BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE.

The foreign jury was in attendance
at the Supreme Court this morning,
and they were being empanelled for
the first case. Among the number
called was Mr.. e. r. Miles, one of
the proprietors of the Hawaiian Hotel
stables. He had no sooner got into
the box than he stood up and asked
His Honor Justice McCully to ex-
cuse him, as he had very important
business to attend to during the day.
"What is your business, Mr.. Miles7"
asked the Justice? eff you please,
your Honor, 1 want to go out to the
Park to attend a horserace." His
Honor replied that the Court did
not take any notice of horseracing.
So friend Miles sat down and few
minutes later he looked one Of the
most interested of the jury in a
housebreaking case.

SATURDAYS EXHIBITION.

A very large crowd of people at
tended at the foot of Alakea street
Saturday evening to witness the test
of the Harden Hand Grenade. II
was success in every sense of the
word. A large fire was kindled,
about eight hundred feet of lumber
well-dried being used. 1t was al
lowed to burn up and did so in the
ficrcest manner, causing several ex-
pressions of impossible to put such
a blaze out" from the spectators.
When the wood had caught pretty
we'll, and the fire was at its height,
Chief Engineer Mott, Messrs. Geo.
Lucas and j. Mcclure, fire marshal,
gave the word and by the use of
seven grenades this immense fire
was easily put out. Mr.. Gross, the
general manager Of the grenade in
the States, used the grenade, and
afterwards gave an exhibition with
a burning chimney. The wonderful
grenades showed to great advantage
Saturday evening and are without
doubt invaluable.

HONOLUlUS married MEN 5.

The baseball game on Saturday
between the above clubs was played
at Makiki and attracted a large num-
Der of spectators, who took the
greatest interest in the game. The
Honolulus have adopted uniform
cap of blue and white, which is an
improvement, though on Saturday
George Markham astonished every
body by coming out in costume of
pea green pants, rose vest and blue
cap, and was mistaken for the Ha-
waiian dandy. 1t appears the ladies,
taking the cue from suggestion to
the boys in the BULLETIN, made them
present of caps. In the first innings
the Honolulus batted Parker freely
and scored eight runs. This gave
them q commanding lead. After
the first innings the game was more
interesting, still neither nine played
up to the mark. The Married Men
got eight bases on called balls, while
the Honolulus did not obtain any.
Mr.. Davidson umpred the game
carefully. Eckel and Moore, late
of the Pacfics, played with the
Honolulus, the former pitching, the
latter playing at third base. The
following is the score by innings -
Honolulu, 8, 1, 0, 2, 2, o, 0, 1,2.
Married Men, i, 0. 0, o, 0, 0, /, 0, 3.
