EPISCOPAL LAWN PARTY.

The Episcopal lawn party last night wa
pleasant and agreeable, having an assem-
blage of ladies Of that church as well as 4
fair number of gentlemen. The grounds
we're illuminated with Chinese lanterns and
the Refreshments were served at tables on
the grounds. The beautiful lawns inter.
spersed with shrubbery and trees were de-
lightfully cool and everything passed of
with the utmost enjoyment. The ladies
were disappointed by not getting the band,
but they made up for. it in other social
pleasures.
The Episcopal membership at this place
is 1876 known and il is estimated that much
larger number are residents of the city. I'm
til last March the church was sometime with
out a pastor, but since Rev. Mr.. +. II. Edison
has assumed PASTORAL charge an effort will
be made to build a church that is adequate
to accommodate the increased membership.
The object of the lawn parties and chur h
festivals is to raise funds for the purpose OF
building the church, and they arc held urI-
der the supervision of the ladies guild which
has a membership of thirty divided into
four parties of eight in each party. These
guilds purpose holding an entertainment
each Tuesday evening and each division of
eight, assisted by the Others, get up and
supervise the affairs and act as committee
of arrangements.
One noticeable feature at the party last
night was the improvision Of well out of
which lady drew lemonade. The ice
cream was excellent and the delicious cake
was immense

a srRsAvrp rArAEs.

i In September, 1888, A. T. Cheshire, Z
poor but honest and industrious man, came
to Wichita with his family from North Car
DINA to avail himself Of the advantages Of
the Arkansas valley. and especially that his
children might receive 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 ofaffliction 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 Is . 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 a
member oft the NJ. P. church fourteen years.
She expressed her readiness to 60 and meet
her Master.
Her funeral took place on Monday from
the home, conducted by Revs. Hodgson and
Woods, OF the NJ. E. church, and was at
tended BY friends and neighbors of the fam
lily. A son nine and daughter nearly five
years old are left without mothers care.
This sad intelligence is yet to reach the
hearts Of aged parents of the deceased in a
far distant state.
Mr.. Cheshire is very grateful for the SYM
pathy and substantial assistance bestowed
by kind friends in this time Of need, and
hopes that no regrets will ever follow.

A GREAT FARMER

Mr.. J. W. Robinson, Butler couniy's grea,
farmer, spent pleasant half hour in our
sanc,um yesterday afternoon. He was in
town for the purpose of getting some eleva-
ting machinery TO handle his old wheat,
having some 1900 bushels yet in bin, which
he fears may be damaged by the hot weather
If not cared for and aired. Mr.. Robinson
saws many farmers will be doomed TO disa-
pointment this wear over the wheat yield,
that many fields which look fair viii be
found To be only white caps and straw. He
has about 200 hundred acres which is now
being cut and he thinks he will not touch
two or three hundred acres of it. Stands
which looked quite promising, when cut and
bound and loaded up weigh but little more
than SO much straw. The new sod and sec
ond year sod pieces upon which all the best
stands are found will yield but scant hail
crop, OF corn Mr.. Robinson has about
1000 acres and il all looks well, much Of il
beginRing to tassie out The web-worm he
saws will hurt corn but little, as corn is no,
It's natural food 1t deposits its eggs on
pussley and the tumble weed on which
weeds it principally subsists, attacking oniy
and inferior or late weedy fields of corn.
Mr.. Robinson is great and successful far,
mer, taking two daily papers-the EAGLE
one of these of course, the other an eastern
daily-and many weekly journals, an intli
gent, enterpriging gentleman, who keeps a
close run of the markets as the bears ana
bulls and of current news as the highest pro
fessional man.

IDLE rRApEsMEN AND LABoRERs.

Whenever a city becomes noted abroad a
a lively place with building boom on, al
manner of mechanics, artisans and laborer
flock there, and in consequence the labo
market is overstocked. Such has been thu
condition of Wichita for upwards of yea
and is now, notwithstanding that in al
probability no city of its size in the United
States is erecting more buildings the presen
year as is this city.
ait would surprise you," said gentle
man who does business on Douglas avenue
near the depot, to an EAGLE reporter yes
terday, '.to see the number of laborers ant
mechanics of all trades who pass my place
every day looking for work. They come ii
on all trains from the north and south
Some of them are broke ard others have
enough to pay one or two weeks board
There are about twenty day."
In winter many of these experience a good
deal of hardship, but in summer they circu
late among the new towns of the southwest
and find employment.
Our own mechanics and laborers have
frequently complained that the papers were
to blame for the surplus of laborers, and
that it worked great hardship on them, and
that it is wrong for the papers to blow SC
much about Wichita being SO lively. Per
hsps this is SO to certain extent, but when
every stranger who comes here does like
wise, it can hardly be expected that the pa
pers could refrain from mentioning the
matter.

THE PRESIDENT coxlno

The Leavenworth Times says that
Bayard's enthusiasm over the west, and over
Kansas in particular, has fred President
Cleveland with burning desire to make the
trip also, and that he will do SO this fall,
coming into the state at Atchison, where he
will entertain one day, then run on over to
Topeka and down to Wichita, returning to
Leavenworth by way of Lawrence and Bis
marck Grove. That is all satisfactory at
this end Of the line. OF course it will be-
come the duty, as it will be the great
pleasure. of the postmaster to entertain his
chief while in the city, but, we suggest, that
if there is not change of postmasters 5e-
fore that time, that the Democratic boys owe
it to themselves and the President of these
United States to chip in and help build the
postmaster better house, such an one as
none of US would be ashamed to have his
Excellency sleep in. "a word to the wise
is sufficient"

ANSWER TO CHALLENGE,

Editor of the Daily Eagle.
CONWAY SPRINGS, Kan, June 29.-In
answer to challenge from the Millerton
Base Ball club, published in your issue OF
the 26th inst, We decline to meet them ac-
cording to the terms of their challenge, for
the following reasons: Our boys were
scattered and the notice very short, besides
the amount too small too justify us in going
to Wichita to play. We will play them,
however, on the grounds of the Peatone
club, on Friday, July 10th, 1885, Cor 81 90 q
side. By "them," we mean the players we
have three times met in friendly contest al
ready this season, and in two of which
games our club has been victorious. With
out reference to past records we feel bound
by the rules of courtesy 10 thank the cap
tain of the Millerton Base Ball club for the
gentlemanly ~ language in which he
couched the wording Of his challenges
pecially the last sentence, in which We are
invited to "put up or shut up" As we
claim the championship, being the winners
of two games in the seasons contest Wa are
perfectly willing to "put up" but to shut
up" even if there had been any call for
such request. Expecting an immediate
answer through the EAGLE or by mail, l am
very respectfully yours, FRANK Boiling,
Captain Conway Springs B. B. c.

THE D. ma A. RAILROAD.

The ID. NJ. & A. railroad is whooping
right along, us it always hes. Two or three
hundred miles more of grading has been let
and the dirt is flying all along the line, as it
always did. Several more counties AID
townships have voted bonds as they ever
will. Our Kingman correspondent an
nounces daily the arrival of the road at that
point Denver keeps man on the lookout
for the smoke of the first train as it hcaves
in sight. People stand along the banks of
the "father of waters" to see the first through
train move out. Belle PLANE, Winfield,
Baxter Springs and other points have for
years filed their papers with announce
ments of contracts let, and even the EAGLE
has published several specials to the effect
that "work would commence next week"
Still truth compels us to say that not til
has ever been laid on this railroad of a
thousand miles in length, not rail bought
1t has been wind, wind, nothing but wind
from the start. 1t is now announced for the
thousandth time that work will commence
next Saturday at Belle Plaine, which is
hundreds and hundreds of miles from either
end. We don't say that the work will not
now commence for we know nothing
about it, but to commence in the
middle TO build a road, where all material
will be transported over rival lines, is
queer idea-is not practical railroad idea.
Another point we would suggest to our cor
respondents who give us SO much d. NJ. &
A. pabulum, and that is, that portion of
the line from Baxter Springs to Belle Plaine
is paralleled by two other lines, and, from
Belle Plaine west the line is located right
between the Southern Kansas system and
the combined Santa Fe and Frisco systems,
which will all push west before the d. NJ. &
A. can possibly build ten miles of line. We
are for railroads, not air or wind lines, but
bona fide steel lines, and we have always
watched the talk and calculations of the
D. NJ. & A. people with interest, for the
line is big thing. but We suggest more
facts, more work and less blow. We shall
be happy to announce the Inauguration of
actual operations, but in view of all that has
been said and promised, the lapse of
time and the actual surroundings as we
have set them forth, we suggest a cessation
Of wind

BABY RESS.


Outy buAcu tte91p
Yet treasure dearer by far to me
Than the costliest gem on land or sea,
For il carries me back to the days long fed
When severed the curl from the flaxen heaa
OF Baby Bess.
Only silken tress,
Yet well remember the day, the hour,
That she clasped in her dimpled hand .
flower;
ooh, mamma! just see. my sweet flower il
dead.
Perhaps cause l loved it SO WE'LL" she said.
Dear Baby Bess.
Only silzen tress,
But her words float back from the dreamy
past;
Perhaps held my sweet flower too fast,
And loved it too much, for it faded away
And I hold but this precious relic to-day,
OF Baby Bess.
Only silken tress.
But the heart of the mother alone can know
How dear such tiny token will grow;
And long will cherish with tender care,
This bonny, bright lock from the fossy hair
OF Baby Bess.
