THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER"

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Permit me to PROFOUND a query to Dean
Adams in view of some of his remarks on
the above subjects last evening. Will it
take any more of a mothers time from
home and babies to register her opinion,
once or twice year, at the ballot box.
than it now does to carry the load of
church work, fairs, sociables, charades,
suppers, philanthropic work, soliciting
money for the erection of churches, and
support of pastors, and with the long list
include the time some of the estirnable
women of this city foolishly expended sell
ing tickets for This, That and the Other!"
1t is well known fact that the great bulk
of church beggary and drudgery falls upon
women. She is perfectly conscientious in
devoting much of her time. means and
ability to the up-building of the church
that represents her religious convictions.
but the good pastor knows very well which
side his bread is buttered on, and his
warning voice is now heard admonlshiDy.
her ITO keep at home and mind the babies
Consistency, thou art a jewell In view
of the immense amount OF work required
and performed by women in the two great
religious bodies known as Papists and
Ape-sts, it is not surprising that their So
called ministers should endeavor to keep
them in medieval bondage, but men and
women are thinking for themselves.
Thought is abroad in the world, and it
will take more than a sneer, which, after
all, is the argument of fool, to repress
the individuality or limit the sphere of
woman's usefulness. Very sincerely,

EASTER OPENING.

During the whole of yesterday the store
of W. j. Wilson & Co. waslwen crowded
with people anxious to see the novelties
in millinery that Miss Miles had brought
back from her eastern trip That Miss
Mills has an exquisite taste no better testi-
mony is needed than the beautiful and at
tractive line of millinery which she dis
played yesterday. II would be difficult to
single out for particular mention any one
of the many hats or bonnets which the
ladies so greatly admired. But then, here
was love of French bonnet, French
capote, made of glasse crepe en-
broidered crepe lisse with gar
nature of pink flowers and
ties to match. This was not only one of
the most beautiful, but also one of the
latest bonnets. 1.-The Albany''-Niss Miles
is the only milliner in the city who has
this attractive hat-has crown made of
imported lace elegantly trimmed, with
ribbons lilies of the valley and magnifi-
cent spray of flowers falling from the
back. There was too a rich black lace
bonnet with scarlet trimmings and real
french thread lace The Terry" is too a
very pretty hat; blacks tips golden cord,
touton black and gold ribbons with wide
streamers at the back. The new English
turban i. something new in turbans; as
shown it was trimmed in a handsome gold
band with ribbon and trimming to match
The new crown turban is, too
something quite nobby. She
showed quite number Of the new torpedo
one in particular, was in brown, trimmed
with puffed velvet, green bow and orna-
ments to match. A black lace poke, too,
came in for its full share of praise; the rim
composed of yellow roses, black lace crown
and handsome shaded ribbon. A misses
hat especially pretty was a white
panama, rim covered with white tip and
with large white streamers at the back.
Besides these beautiful hats, there were
to be seen a full and complete line OF all
kinds of trimmings: ribbons. ostrich
plumes, ornaments, flowers and feathers.
The whole stock is new, neat and attrac-
tive, and Miss Miles may well congratu-
late herself upon this. her Easter opening.

READY FOR BUSINESS.

A. Conover s. Co., with headquarters IN
the brick block adjoining Steinhouser-
MerkIe on the south received their first
shipment yesterday. Mr.. Conover IS from
Galveston and has spent many years In the
fruit business The company part OF the
concern is another name for Mr.. ID. Hays,
who has been in business, in and around
Wichita for eighteen years.
They entered into partnership some time
ago and have been waiting on the build
ing to be erected for their use. They pro-
pose to engage in the joobing business ex-
clusively. making it supply house for
the entire southwest.
They expect five more car load to arrive
today. They have oranges put in cars at
California and shipped direct to
them cutting out that time despised
system of going to Kansas City before be-
ing able to make the switch to Wichita
The bananas are loaded IN car at New
Orleans off boat and the car put in the
building here, coming direct which means
it stops at Wichita and don't go ahead and
return in a few days
The rates are such as TO shut off st. Joe
and Kansas City houses for southwest
Kansas. In addition TO this is less time
and delivery of the goods in a better con-
dition. In the language of a man who has
been in the fruit business here for some
time, if bananas come here by way of Kan
sas City they are in "knock down" shape
and disgusting to purchasers and more so
to retailers as they are frequently COM
PEELED to lose money. The change in this
particular is being looked upon with great
favor by the fruit dealers in the city.
Conover & Co. report many towns in the
southwest as having already expressed
themselves as being quite glad that they
could send to Wichita and get their fruit,
thus sharing in the advantages coming to
the city itself from the improved facilities.
