Illustrates Lectures,

The members of the Society of Art anticipate
fine entertainment next Thursday evening,
when Mr.. Dickinson gives his first lecture upon
cart in the Netherlands" People who miss this
course of lectures viii miss one of the best enter
tainments of the season. Mr. Dickinson is probably
better qualified to speak upon the subject than
any man in this country, and his illustrations are
said to far surpass any others ever shown here.
His stereopticon is one of the most powerful ever
made, and his assistant has made it special
study, resulting in the pictures being shown very

The Old Portland BENEVOLENT Society.

will hold its annual meeting at the First Parish
church on the evening of Sunday next, 18th insti
when Rev. Mr.. Bashford is to deliver the address
which doubtless will be good one, and will pay
for all to hear. This old society has its benef-
Charles in all the various religious societies in this
city, and dispenses its aid to the needy who have
seen better days. 1t is therefore the duty of all
the religious societies to make it APPOINT to attend
this meeting, and thus give countenance and aid
to so good cause. Other churches should close
their doors on that evening and so give their mem
bers an opportunity to attend the meeting.

Wrestling Match at Cape Elizabeth.

Last evening a good audience assembled at
Ferry Village to witness the wrestling match be-
tween AL Haskell of this city and Emery of Bid
deford. The affair was conducted in an orderly
manner, and good exhibition was given by the
athletes. Haskell won two bouts and Emery two,
when the referee declared it a draw, on account
of the canvas and sawdust under their feet be-
coming torn and scattered. The crowd, however,
wanted to see the finish, so the match was con
cluded under protest, Emery winning. Between
the bouts there was sparring by juveniles

THAT AWFUL WORD. LIAR.

II is with sorrow and with shame-faeed-
ness that We say If but there Is no escape.
The EAGLE is all up in heap and there is
no salt for his tail. Crape in great sombre
folds streams from his beak and his feathers
are all turned the wrong way. The city
council of Wichita duly assembled in regu-
lar palarer, with his honor the mayor in
the chair and the city marshal on hand as \
briuiser TO quell instruction, have formally
proclaimed to all the people that they have
no confidence in the great Full-hedged; aye.
that 1t has been guilty of words concerning
them which were miscalled simplicity" if
not "more severe than fairy fiction would
warrant" Alack-aday! In all the range of
municipal functions there remains but one
thing which that official body could have
done which would have more completely
crushed us in the eyes Of this people, and
that would have been a resolution of conf
dence endorsing the EAGLE. Thank
Heaven We were saved that last
humiliation. How innocent and
disinterested are the ways of these dad, how
bold and fearless-when it comes to per-
hitting brutal assault by their bully upon
an innocent-eyed reporter who was perform
ing simple and harmless duty. What clean
honest reading full report of their proceed
ings would make. Could the EAGLE lie about
such immaculate purifiers! Perish the
thought. Kill our reporter and cast his OBJ
noxious carcass into the street, but spare, oh
spare us those hard words. Remember,
favored sirs, how honored your body is in
the estimation of all honorable men and
then how circumscribed the influence Of the
paper so unworthy your notice. Go dig our
little hole and hide us away forever from
the frown of this people who have trusted
you with their affairs, but spare us that ter
rible anatbema. How like peaceful honest
lambs you abide among US and preside over
US, caring for and conserving all our most
precious interests, then wiy, this unwonted
conGescension. jug US, run las into one of
your hundred licensed gambling hells
and there fleece Us, direct your police
to steer us from one of YOUR unconsti-
tutionsl and unlawful saloons TO another
until we are drunk and then rob and turn
US loose; put the blight of twenty of your
licensed ill-famed houses upon our fril cor
porosity: allow Us to be inveigled into some
of your open bunko games or open street
swindles; deny Us chance in street rail-
way job, water-works franchise, or u
job in the spoils of the sneak-thief gang,
drag our unresisting form through some of
your delightful ALLEYS; baptize the dear
old bird" in one of the many sink-holes
of the corporation; open up your 200 a
year water hydrants or turn the full blaze
of those resident-street blinkers upon US;
but dear, good kind sirs, remember our
youth, remember, too, above all, Clevelaud's
letter to Mugwump Curtis, and with what a
fral tenure we are kept in bread and butter
for our little ones. and spare us those awful
words

TELEGRAPHING FROM KINGMAN TC
WICHITA.

To the Editor OF the tsSle;
The report OF the doings of the great in
dignation meeting held at Kngman as given
in your columns of the llth goes very
plainly 10 show that the meeting was COM
posed of persons entirely ignorant Of the
subject they were so indignant about or
were badly muddled by re-submission whis-
Ky. as they make the grossest kind of mis-
| statements all the way through.
The tariff from kingman to Wichita is
30 cents for ten words, about the same as
the Western Union charge for the same dis
tance. Tie tariff for ten words from Wich-
ita to Chicago is 60 cents. This has to be
added to the tariff from kingman to Wich-
i,a in order TO get the correct tariff from
kingman to Chicago. This can be proven
by the Western Union tariff books which
can be shown at any time TO substantiate
these facts. The service here could not be
more efficient than it now is. Mr..
Pitts, the manager of the Wich-
ta and Western telegraph at this place.
does all that any man could do to make the
service efficient and satisfactory TO all. 1t
is true that there Is no half-rate nor associ-
atcd press dispatches. The ass ociated preas
dispatches could probably be easily obtain
ed by application to the proper authorities
There is no night rate for the reason that
there is no night on the Western Union, nor
would they pay if placed there. The West
ern Union only make their reduction on
night messages with the distinct understand
ing that they will not he allowed until after
O'Clock 4. IN. People in sending kilograms
too often blame the operators If they do not
receive an answer IN a very short time,
when the fault lies altogether with the par
ties sending the answers. We acknowledge
that messages are sometimes delayed, but
always unavoidEbly SO. snd because one or
two messages are occasionally delayed, why
pronounce the whole force inefficient,
and say that it j. the case
with every message sent: It i possible
that some one message has been delayed be
tween kingmsn and Hutchinson, but where
one has been delayed probably fifty have
been sent through with the utmos; dispatch.
The probabilities are tina; the parties who
are so very indignant do TO; send one mes
sage in year. and that the parties who do
the Il os: telesraphing are entirely satisfied
with the service rendered them. We would
suggest that the party or parties who are
writing this matter up would first learn some
thing about 1t, and thus save themselves
from being made a subject q: ridicule BY all
who know anything about the telegraph
service The statement that the Western
Union operators send and receive at their
convenient leisure. j. utterly false and IN
worthy of consideration. a. l. F!rTs-

The Newton Republican gives very full
account Of the dedication of the new Baptist
church in that city last Sunday for which
Rev. W. F. Harper, of this city, preached
the dedicatory discourse. The building Is
one of the finest of the character in south
ern Kansas, costing eleven thousand dollars,
four thousand dollars of which amount was
raised during the services on Sabbath morn
ing. Again in the evening three hundred
dollars were raised for bell. Mr.. Harper
said the liberality of the congregation
seemed marvellous which indeed WAS true.
Nearly five thousand dollars raised in a sin
gle day by congregation which had prcvi-
ously pledged like amount is no, only
worthy Of note but Of high commentator
