Mile Zelie de Lussan, the vocalist who sang
at the recent Gilmore band concerts at the
Exposition rink. Joined the company at this
city, her engagement with the Boston Ideal
Opera company terminating at Providence
last week. With her maid she came up from
Chicago over the Omaha road. During the
long day trip in the palace coach no one
could have been more denure than this same
little vocalist. She had no eyes for anyone,
and paid not the slightest attention to the
conceited travelling man who, in his new
spring suit, sought to make an impression.

she gained the necessary permission and was
soon installed on a camp chair on the rear
platform OF the sleeper. Her neat-ftting
black dress was relieved by white lace about
the collar, while her jaunty hat was cor

A RICH EDITOR.

said of John r. Mclean, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
''Mr. Mclean is worth at least 81. 600 900
or $6,OOO,OOO. He is q genuine money
maker He is veritable Midas. Every
thing he touches turns to gold. He has at
least 81, 100000 worth of Washington
property, which did not cost him One-ha.f
that amount, possibly not one-third, and is
rapidly approaching in value. He bought
an old graveyard at Washington for $780,
600 and inside of three months was offered
$50, 900 for it. The Enquirer itself is a
bonanza and must give him an annual in

1t was rabid Democratic sheet
of the Bourbon type When Mr.. Farran
died the elder Mclean got hold of the pa
per, and when John came out OF college he
was turned loose on it. He insisted on lib
eralizing the paper and on making it d
newspaper of the personal type. As the
readers OF the newspapers in Ohio and In
diana are largely Republican, he opened
his columns for every piece of Republican
news that he could get hold of, with the
result that the Enquirer for years had a
great many Republican readers in those
two states. Mr.. Mclean is hard worker,
and although he spends his time in Wash
ington, New York and Saratoga, is con-
stantly informed by telegraph of every inn
portant movement in his office. He gets a

woMAN's AID TO GREAT MEN.

The usefulness of women with the men
they love has passed into a prOverb, and
when reckoning up the work accomplished
by great men few take into account all the
labor of their wives, whose toll goes into
the general fund and gets itself called by
their husbands name. He gets all the
credit, and she gets-well, she probably
gets the reward Of an approving conscience
with which she has to content herself 1t
is well known that Mendelssohn's sister,
Fanny, wrote several Of the exquisite
Songs Without Words that appear under
his name and contributed much to his mu-
steal work, content that he should reap all
the fame. Wordsworth sister, it is said,
wrote his famous poem Of "The Datfodils, y
or the greater part of it, while almost every
great man is indebted to his wife for as
large an amount of research and clerical
work as Richard Brinsley Sheridans wife,
the lovely Miss Lindley, did for him
before one of his great speeches in parlia
ment. The wife of Frank r. Stockton,
the author of that tantalizing story, The
Lady or the Tiger" is one of those women
of whom the world hears little, but who
does get an inconsiderable share Of those
absurd and delightful tales. She was a
Miss Marion futile, of Amelia county,
Virginia, and had long held the position of
literary critic of her husbands work. A
youthful admirer of his quaint fairy tales
and children stories once wrote to ask if it
were not true that Mr. Stockton had large
family of children who heard the stories
before they were written out, and gave the
inventor points as to things children in
general would or would not like But Mr.
Stockton has no children, and his wife is
the person who holds the place of Juvenile

A FUNNY PREDICAMENT.

The editor of this paper is not consti-
tutional lawyer, but we notice that the city
council of Wichita attempted to reconsider
an ordinance the other night granting a
right of way for railroad down Mosley
avenue Now. what gets us is how an or
dinance which had been regularly passed,
properly approved and published. thereby
becoming law in full force. could posi-
bly, be reconsidered 1t can't be done, in
our judgment 1t might be repealed if no
vested rights had been acquired. But it
must not be forgotten that this thing was
attempted not only at a called meeting but
it was an attempt of a council of a city of
the first class to reconsider the vote and
formal action of council of city of the
second class.
If law is not law when duly passed,
approved and published, when is ii law?

to protest was before the proposition be

Cristield is Just one year old and is a fair

our town than any other town of its size in
the state. Having two good hotels, one
livery stable, one blacksmith shop, one
lumber yard, one newspaper, one bank, one
clothing store, one hardware store, one
drug store, two grocery stores, one barber
shop, one general merchandise and two
land offices, and twO-story school build
ing that would do credit to a town of 1900
inhabitants.
Land in this vicinity for farming pur-
poses can be bought for very reasonable
sum-
Our prospects for an immense yield of
corn could not be better, as we had very
fine shower of rain on Sunday night

From the Harper Sentinel.
A great deal may be said of Wichita's
progressive and enterprising spirit, yet
there is no excuse for her lack of pride in
allowing stagnant water to stand in pools
on her business thoroughfares, as well as
the general dilapidated appearance of her
streets. The EAGLE could do good work
in identifying Wichita by calling the at
tention of the authorities occasionally
through the local columns to the present
shabby condition of her streets. There is
no reason why Wichita should not be
great city, having the necessary vim. vine
gar, and vitriol, to make her the best town
in the state, and by giving more attention
to making her streets attractive would be
pointed to with pride by every visitor
