LADIES BENEVOLENT HOME

The EAGLE representative paid visit {,
tne above named institution yesterday ant
learned that ali their patients had got wei
or were recovering. The ladies are in a bac
way for furniture and the good people o.
Wichita ought TO look into that matter an6
send some second hand furniture. They
need three tables, one for the sitting room
another for the kitchen and third for the
dining room. They are not particular as 10
The kind. They want mop, few chairs,
tany kind, comforts and cots. They need
few cots badly, they arc not particular as
to quality The lady superintendent said
she would like 10 get some young ladies in
terested as she thinks thev are the best
workers. There are FIVE unfurnished
rooms in the house and if any two, three or
four young ladies will furnish them. they
will have the privilege of naming them and
In short have q superintendent over them.
They are very badly of for chairs. This
institution promises to do much good and il
is hoped they will receive the necessary aid.
Last Saturday night as the reporter ar
rived at the corner of Lawrence and Doug
las avenues on his way 10 church, he saw a
coon coming east Oh Douglas avenue on a
full run, followed by large msn. Now
when the reporter sees one man running sf.
ter another be usually gives his sympathies
to the foremost one as it generally happens
that the larger party is pursuing. There is
seldom any use in large man running
away from small one, especially in case
like the present when o lsrge man was pur-
suing a hafrrown coon. The large man
cried out for the reporter TO stop that man
but the reporter told the coon to pull for
the alley, and when the large man came up
orssthing like trotting horse quite crowd
gathered to hear him tell how that coon
had robbed him of half dollar.

Newspaper OfE'0-Day.

People generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers and close
observers, have but faint conception Of
the magnitude and influence the press of
this country has attained. From care
fui examination Of the advance pages of
the 1855 edition of the American News
paper Directory, issued May 1st, by Geo.
P. Rowell & Co., Of New York, it appears
that there are HAT newspapers and pc
radicals published in the United States
and Canada, Of these, the United States
has 12,973, an average of one paper for
every 1867 persons. In 1884 the total
number of newspapers was less by 1913
! than at present. and while the gain this
year is not SO marked as in some previous
years, it is still considerable. Kansas
shows the greatest increase, the number
being IS, while Illinois follows with a
gain IF ~. It is curious to notice that
New York, the scene of so many political
activity during the asst campaign, should
have only about one-thlrd as many new
papers as the State of Pennsylvania. AS
IN index to the comparative growth and
| prosperity of different sections Of the
! country. especially the Territories, the
| number of the new papers forms an ms
tsresting study, and may well occupy the
attentsntion Of the curious.
