THE ROYAL cARABINEER.
To the Editor of the Eagle

To the Editor OF the Eagle:
In your issue of yesterday see that your
ROYAL British sharpshooter finds fault with
the answers of N. +. Lease and Donnel
Kenny to his Gordon effusion. He thinks
their letters 'contain TRADE Of stuff entire
ly foreign TO the two points at issue" and
appears to be all broke up because they
..had not intelligently read any Of the edi-
torials emanating from the prominent pa
pers of the dsy."
If Gardiner means the editorials in the
prominent American dailies, l can tell him
the parties referred to read all the leading
editorials in them with quite as much intel
ligence as he is capable of, though perhaps
with less bias; but if he means the
British press probably he has
the edge in reading then ''intelligently. y
There are number of swell informed pstri-
otto Americans" who faced British guns and
unearthed British rebel plots, Matched up on
Canadian soil, who have intelligent notions
of the refining and civilizing influence OF
British diplomacy. If he is much hurt by
the ''vituperative animus" of the letters re-
ferred to, would like TO call his attention
to the epIstles of '.Bull Run Russell to the
British press during our late war.
Gardiner had better shoulder his carbine
and make tracks for the Nile and find out
what aninus there is in the Mahdi's cannon.

POLICE COURT,

There was considerable to relieve the mo-
notony at the police court yesterday. There
were two or three plain drunks and few
drunk and disorderly.
George Smith, war chief of the tribe OF
Ham. a hash singer of the fremont, who
had taken an overdose of fire water night
before last, amused himself by filing the air
full Of holes in the vicinity of "piety half;
after he had satisfied himself on the air, he
went up stairs, lay down upon the bed and
amused himself shutting out the lights with
Il revolver foot and half long. Police
officer Maralatt WAS called to visit him who
concluded that night in the refrigerator
would improve his mania for targatt prac-
ticc; yesterday he felt better but was taxed
81 for his amusement. Before this
case was settled, ii clerk from Biting Bros,
came running into the police court in search
of an officer to capture fellow who gobbled
pair Of jeans pants worth Sl.50 and pair
of cver>hoes from their door. Officer Mar
alatt skipped down and brought him up.
In AN interview with an EAGLE reporter the
fellow coolly replied that he did it on pur-
pose in order TO be locked up until the
weather got warmer. lie thought that bet
ter than to roost IN the sand house and bum
the city for chuck. He said he came from
Ohio; that his name IS George Thompson,
and that he came in night before last. He
plead guilty to the charge of petit larceny
and WAS assigned to bed and board with
John Fisher for thirty days.
Fatty Thompson who has been running
a tenth class groggery on Douglass avenue
for some time without whacking up to the
city, and who, il is said, had been stooting
off his mouth about the police and city Of
ficials. was cleaned out by Officer Maralatt,
who locked up the dead fall and hoisted

IN MEMMORIAM.

An inscruitsble providence in visiting with
death one of our falrest households has left in
a home, once glad with his presence, the void
and empty chair, and in our fraternity the
silence made doubly grievious from the loss
of wise counsel, benevolent spirit and untir-
ing energy. Therefore, we have convened
to give utterance TO such ecomiums as our
deceased brother so richly merited, and we
so feebly portray in this, that we sustain in
the death of Edwin Hill brother and off
Ger devoted to the welfare and promotion
of the order he fondly cherished, the loss OF
a goodly Knight" whose place cannot be
readily filed again.
bis profession, lawyer, profound and dig
| nified, and to our business men citizen
whose influence and intelligence was valu-
able adjunct to Wichita. While his family
must bear the greatest infection that is put
upon humanity in this severing, that takes
far beyond their recall, except in thought,
the fond and indulgent husband and pa
rent.
Therefore We tender to the stricken family
our heartfelt sympathies, and pledge them,
as our fraternity bids us, succor whenever
called upon. or in the time of need
That a copy of these resolutions in memo
rum be presented to the family, and the

thias be draped in mourning for thirty days

night at the opera house, and proved what j,
was fully expected to be, most brillian,
and enjoyable affair. The preparations were
complete il. every detail, no pains nor ex-
pense having been spared to make it the
means Of the fullest enjoyment. and all tina,
could by the most fsstidious be desired. The
hall was artistically and hansomely draped,
and arranged in evergreen wreaths and fes-
toons, in streamers, bunting and emblems of
the order.
The music was furnished by combina-
ton orchestra, and was quite acceptable.
There were some forty couples in attend
snce, several couples Of whom were from GU;
OF town, and represented Wellington, New
ton, Kingmsn and Cheney. There were
many elegant costumes worn by the ladies.
and the gentlemen were divided between
the X. 7. suits, the L. :. army uniform, full

Mrs. NJ. T. Lease has determined on the
evening the 9Th of March as the time she
will deliver her interesting address on Ire

in saying that the lecture will no; only be
highly instructive, but very entertaining. in
fact, a regular treat at this particular time
when the Irish question Is absorbing 20
much Of public attention and when the

FEDERAL BUILDING,

The demands OF other localities and sec
tional and political jealousiess and interests
which such as often arise in like cases, have
combined to retard the appropriation for O
federal binding p. Wichita, and also TO Gu,
down very materially the amount originally
asked. Withou: entering into details, the
formation Of a new Judicial district, and the
political complexion of its life judge and its
other officers all had no little bearing. From
the time the original bill was introduced I'M
til its passage through the mouse the other
day, on the motion Of Judge Peters. Our
senators, nor Judge Peters, nor Thos. Ryan
have ever lost An opportunity to impress
upon the committees of either house the
necessity of such an appropriation Each
and all have conceded that whenever it be-
came necessary to provide new districts that
the location and importance of Wich-
tia would be found such as would
naturally form the location of
both district and circuit court
at this point Some people become
impatient over the delays Of congressional
action, but no man who ever spent winter
in Washington was heard to complain. Few
people have any idea of the difficulties sur
rounding members who would urge tine pas
sage of n special bill. The fight TO locate
the court here in the first place was SPLEEN
didly handled by the delegation. OF course
$4,000 viii not pay for such a building as
is needed. IL will have to be large enough
to provide not only for the United States
courts and its various officers, and the post
Office, but also the United States land Office.
But should the bill become a law this session
there are many preliminary steps to be Ia
ken before actual work could be COM
menced. Among other things, it will be
necessary for the legislature to cede all ju-
over the ground which the build
ing occupies to the general government, and
then from three to five years time in which
to build and furnish.

TARDY CHURCH GoERS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
With your permission, desire 10 call to
call the attention ofyour readers to matter
which is important, because it seriously af-
fleets the interests of religious worship in
the city as well a. elsewhere. / refer to be-
ing tardy at public services.
On last Sunday the writer attended the
morning service at one of the city churches,
and in common with others who were there
to worship, was greatly disturbed BY the
continual coming in Of persons who were
late. Several times the minister was COM
PEELED to stop and wait until the noise occa-
stoned by the entrance of late corners had
subsidized This continued until the
discourse, which was a lengthy one,
was completed. The service begins
at 1915, yet many persons come in after II
o'clock. 1t must be extremely annoying to
minister to have the attention of his hear
ers constantly diverted and distracted by the
entrance of persons during the entire dis
course. On the occasion mentioned the
house was greatly crowded and the gentle
manly ushers, who were doing their best 10
seat the people, were compelled TO almost
jostle the speaker in their efforts TO seat
ali. While we rejoice to see this large at
tendance at the church services, We would
kindly remind these careless ones that they
would greatly enhance the interest of Others
as well as themselves by being present at
at the opening of the services. Surely be-
ginning at the unusually late hour men-
toned above, all who make proper efforts
can be present at the proper time. Come
friends; if it be necessary abridge the Sum
day morning nap and by little self denial
you will be amply repaid and will confer
favor on others. Had the earnest, intelli-
gent discourse of the minister been heard
from its beginning, on last Sunday morning,
il surely would have been more profitable to
those coming late and who only heard its
concluding sentences. OBSERVER.
