CRUDE OF AMERICAN CIVILIZATION

What an English Philosopher Says in
The Fortnighfly Review.
English readers seem to take peculiar de-
light in accounts Of the crudities Of Amer
lean civilization, and the supply Of vacation
tourists, who run over" for few weeks
and, upon their return, hasten to unburdep
their minds of the many profound generali-
cations formed during the trip, is seemingly
inexhaustible Mr.. Theodore Child is the
latest Of these philosophical observers, and
his reflections are contributed to the pages OF
The Fortnightly Review.
Mr.. Child is surprised at q great many
things which are to be noticed in the United
States Conductors of street cars receive
their nickels without a word Of thanks. !"
Brownstone houses are adorned with CORN
THAN marble pillars. Trotting horses are
trained to pull by the reins instead OF by the

CHENEY ODD FELLOWS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
The sixty-seventh anniversary of
Odd-fellowship in America was cele-
brated yesterday evening by Cheney
lodge, No. 254. Several days previous
the spacious Lands building had been
neatly fitted up and decorated for the
occasion.
Promptly at O'Clock Monday even
ing the doors were thrown open TO
admit the invited guests. The num-
erous invitations sent were nearly all
responded to, and by 8 O'Clock an au-
dience of over 800 persons were CON-
tortably seated.
The members of Cheney lodge
marched from their elegant new lodge
room to the place of the festivities,
and soon after their arrival the cere-
monies were begun by the Odd Eel
lows singing their "Opening ode"
Deputy Grand Master ID. NJ. Lazarus
delivered the welcome address, and in
a very eloquent manner set for the
origin and the purpose of Odd-fellow-
ship. The speaker is way up in Odd
fellowship. and thoroughly posted OH
all matters pertaining to it. Yea, he
is probably one of the hes,
posted members in the state
and this fact combined with his talent
to speak in public, made his speech
highly interesting.
Some finely executed instrumental
music and well rendered recitation:
concluded the first part of the enter.
tainment.
Thanks to the efforts of the Daugh.

had been prepared. of which all of the
audience partook.

ENGLEWOOD, KANSAS.

The Star OF the Western Empire is pic
turesquely situated near the wooded banks
of the Cimmaron River. in the center OF a
large and beautiful valley-the grandest
wheat, corn and grass gro wing country in
the world; destined TO be the great rail-
road, commercial and manufacturing centre
OF sunny southern Kansas, because Of nat
u-al surroundings. beautiful location, and
the many railroads now projected and build
ing toward it, being as 1t is the supplying
and outftting point for the new Oklahoma
OF the west. "The'public land strip, (which
extends 100 miles TO the south and west and
which comprises the most wonderful grain
and grass producing soil on the globe. is
the great cattle field in the west. No other
town in western Kansas is so favor
ably situated to become large city, and IL
cannot be disputed that Englewood holds
the key to the commercial trade OF 4 vast
area of untold and ever increasing wealth;
its prospects are uBeGualled, and its rise
and progress bids fair TO he unparalleled in
the history OF this western country.
Englewood will not wait years for a slow

minds of all decent people concerning
the wreck of the Missouri Pacific train
at Wyandotte yesterday. 1t is that
the wrefches who perpetrated the
deed ought to be discovered at any
cost of time and money and ought to
be punished to the furthest extent of
the law. They are murderers for
whose apprehension the blood of two
innocent men calls aloud. A crime
more deliberately fiendish and more
wholly detestable could not be COM
mitted. If strikers are guilty, the
cause of labor has received a setback
from which it may not soon recover.
No civilized people will favor strikes
if they are to be attended with revolt
ing crimes. Labor is not yet ready to
demand redress if its organization
can do no better than to furnish blood
thirsty scoundrels. 1t falls short of its
recent pretentions if il cannot prevent
the members of its organization from
committing acts at which the worst
savage in Geronimo's band might be
expected to hesitate.

The Society Man at q Ball.

The society man may not shine In the ball
ROOM or at the club or the stag dinner, or
on the race track. He does not talk about
the market, and purposely refrains from
learning anything about business. He con-
siders it vulgar, and does not in the least at
tempt to conceal the fact. He detests famil-
iarity, and does not like to converse with
men who are not of his own social position.
He stands aloof from them, and they re-
venge themselves by calling him popinjay
jack in -the-box, noodle, or fop, and wonder
what women find in such man to admire.
At mixed ball great lawyers. eminent
statesmen, brilliant geniuses, and eminent
men in finance stand stupidity about in pass
ages, get in everybody's way, and dance exc
crably if they dance at all, bore the ladies' if
they try to talk to them, and make no end OF
unfortunate social errors, while the society
man, quick, alert, graceful and chatty, and
full Of tact and cleverness, has it more in his
power to make il a success than any other
element there-San Francisco Argonaut

CHAN0EDiTS TUNE.

Governments are instituted for the
protection of life and property, pri-
MARTY. Our own government holds
out the further promise of liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. OF late
there has been an organized effort in
this country 10 subvert these guarsn-
tvs. No paper in the west has been
louder in the defense OF The strikers
than the Kansas City Times: and no
paper knows better than the Times
that the late strike, based, as il was.
upon the thinnest pretense, would lead
not not oily to destruction of prop
erty, but probably of life. Both of
these disasters followed, and worse.
A train was thrown from the track
near Kansas City only this week, kill
ing two innocent ment-two Ameri-
can citizens, who were doing honest
work for honest bread. but in defiance.
perhaps, of the will of the strikers.
Now the Times weakens, appearing
in 8 double-leaded editorial, from
which we quote:
The Times has been staunch friend
of the laborer aud always will be. bat
il has this to say: If strikes must be
accompanied by crime, strikes are an
evil which can not be patiently en-
dured by law-abiding people. Law
must be maintained at any cost. Ours
is not people TO bear for one hour
with bioodthirsty lswlessness. We
will see that property aud life is pro-
tected if il is necessary for every ten
yards of railroad track 10 be manned
by citizen OF the town. Criminals,
whether they be members of a labor
organization or outside trsmps, can
not with impunity perform acts like
that of yesterday.
There is but one opinion in the

Wichita wanted railroads. Then
she wanted manufactures. Then she
decided that she would put up with
glucose works and a creamery. Now
she announces that she has set her
heart on the new Catholic see. We
admire town which goes for every
thing in sight. 1t shows the true Kan
sas City enterprise. But we are afraid
Wichita will not succeed. 1t is too far
away from Kansas City, which is the
Mecca of all true Christians of the
southwest, Catholics and Protestants
alike.-kansas City (Mo) Times.
A few hours sojourn in the greatest
city west of the Missouri would CON-
pei the Times TO sing an entirely
different tune. Wichita has succeeded
in getting everything she ever went
for and will get the Catholic see.

AGun for Whales or Wild Fowl.

A double barreled gun has recently been
made for the duke of Southerland's steam
yacht, mounted on pivot, and the total
length is fifty-three inches, the weight being
1l5 pounds. One barrel is rifled and the
other is smooth bore. 1t is intended princi-
pally for killing whales, although it may be
used for sharks, porpoises, sun-fish, etc. II
will fire ten-ounce explosive bullet Of steel,
or thirteen ounce solid shot.
There is also a harpoop to be fired from the
smooth bored barrel. The explosive bullet
will, doubtless, be a very effective instru-
ment when used against whales, rs il is said
it will tear away sufficient piece Of the ami
NAL TO insure its death, while the harpoon
will serve 10 secure its carcass. For this pur-
pose it has attached to it flexible steel wire
rope wound on a reel The explosive bullet
and the harpoon are to be fired simultane-
ously, so thst while one kills the quarry the
other SECURES it. The gun can also be used
