AN oRSERyER,S OPINION

Mr.. j. K. Spears, a spe cial correspondent
of the New York Sun, has been in the city
for the past three days and leaves this
evening for Oklahoma, where he will OBJ
serve the changing hues of pleasure and
disappointment play over the features of
"Pawnee Bill" and his raiders as they by
turns, enter the promised land, are fired
out by Uncle Sam, re-enter, are fired out
again and SO on.
Mr.. Spears has been sent out by the
wide-awake metropolitan daily, which he
represents for the purpose of procuring
reliable data concerning this great south
western section and particularly Okla
homa. He expresses the opinion that this
section demands a city of its own and that
Wichita as a city is not an artificial crea-
ton. but a result of the necessities and
capabilities of this very productive section.
He believes too that the opening of Okla
homa viii create numerous good towns,
which will make more imperative the
need for a great Wichita to supply then.

PAyEMENr INSPECTORS.

The board of trade directory at its meet
ing on Monday, is response to an invita-
ton from the Barber Asphalt company,
requested the following seven gentlemen
to visit Topeka, Omaha and st. Joe. and
inspect the work done in those cities by
that company. G. r. Miller. o. D. Barnes.
James Allia on, Geo. II. Blackwelder, Fin
ley Ross, A. NJ. Wassam and Geo. w.
Clement
The company invited the board OF trade
to name seven and the city council to
name three, whose expenses they would
be pleased to defray while inspecting their
pavements put down, in other cities, from
which it is thought, they can gain much
valuable Information as to the kind OF
paving Wichita should have.
The city council. at its meeting Monday
night, did not appoint anyone, as they ap-
peared to feel sighted at the larger repre-
sentation accorded the board of trade in
the invitation and consequently on motion
deferred" action upon the invitation. How
soon they will reconsider, or how soon any
such committee will go from this city on
the trip suggested is mere natter of con-
lecture, but it is highly probable, that as
soon as the Barber people, find they have
put their foot in it, )" they will more than
likely effect compromise with the coun-
oil

REFRESHMENTS at a wedding breakfast
are very elastic. They need not soar above
tea, coffee, cake and Sandwiches, or they
may include poultry, game. sweets and
champagne-in fact nearly every thing one
would have at a ball supper.
WHEN the person who gives away tho
bride is not her father he meets her at the
door Of the church and escorts her TO the
building, but he does not accompany her in
the carriage. Her mother is the proper per-

sMAG RECOVERED.

AS stated in yesterdays EAGLE one of
McMahan's detectives returned from a
trip to some neighboring towns, where he
had recovered much of the property stolen
from prominent residences in this city
during the past year, by George Tangsley,
who was arrested last week and confessed
to large number of burglaries. The Off
Ger went to Hutchinson ana also to New
ton at each of which places, he recovered
a large amount of silverware and Jewelry
which is now at the McMahan agency
in the Getto block and was yesterday seen
by an EAGLE representative. The amount
of valuable property taken by this burglar
is remarkable and includes everything
that he could carry away. Parties who
have had property stolen will do well to
call and prove owners hip of the same, as
there is in such lot of it much for which
the owners are at present unknown.
The stuff recovered is the largest
haul ever made in Wichita, and
by the arrest of Tangsley the
city has become rid of the party who has
been doing all of the burglarizing in the
city for the past year. He mas been IN
aided and broke open the doors of houses
with what he calls Jimmy" which in
fact pinch barr about three feet long
He always selected houses from which the
residents were temporarily absent.
The city marshals of both Hutchinson
and Newton extended all possible assist
ance to the Wichita officer in restoring the
stolen property. Some of III had been sold
again, but will be recovered.

pected man was given the officers and they
Immediately commenced looking him up.
This search was rewarded at last by find

another had been pawned to Mr.. Post; and
third had been sold to Fred Ebenhack
for 81 The suspected man was arrested,

Prof. Hamill and daughter will give an
entertainment at the First Presbyterian
church tonight, under the auspices of the
High school-proceedst to go to the library

Hamill. The selections consisted of such
pieces as ''The Raven" Betsy and ! are
Out" THE Blacksmith's Story" 1.-THE
Vagabonds," and others of similar charac-
ter. The stiffness, the attention, the
laughter and the applause all attested the
success he attained and the pleasure he af-
forded his auditors Prof Hamill, as an
elocutionist, stanGe today in the front
rank of American professors in this art"

A CLOSE OBSERVER.

1t would be pretty hard to find closer
observer of the play last night at the
Crawford than was Doc. Crabtree Of the
Detective agency.
In the afternoon he had arrested Tom
Coleman. the Irish comedian. upon war
rant sworn out here in the city by John
Mclaughlin and Maurice James, two en-
ployes of the Mnsee, who charge him with
stealing their watches at Kansas City,
August Goth. According to their state
ments the three men were there unem-
ployed, sort of waiting for the ghost or
some other good genius to walk. A failure
in this direction did not, however, pre-
vent, so they say, the aforesaid Thomas
from perambulating off with their watches
for tour of the World. The Irish come
dian says it is all a mistake, he did not
take the watches, and don't know any
thing about them.
Coleman endeavored to secure bond, but
failing in this he was permitted to 90 upon
the stage and go through with his part
while the detective stood in the rear of the
house on guard. How he did watch the
antics of that Irishman made the I'M
initiated believe that he had come there
with the intention of copying The part and
going upon the stage himself.

PERSONAL IRREGULARITIES.

EMPEROR WILLIAM keeps scrap book OF
newspaper clippings regarding himself.
This may account for his frequent ebuIh-
tions of violent temper.
THE Ameer of Afghanistan is not literary
in his tastes. He has imposed heavy tax
on all books and printed matter passing
through his dominons.
Mrs. MAPEs DODGE is a very vivacious
talker as well as writer. She edits ST.
Nicholas, but only goes to the Office once a
week, doing most Of her work at home.
''DoN'T talk to me about my voice." said
Mr.. Gladstone the other day. 81 hate it
Once had voice with which I could do
what wanted; but have that no more"
IT is said that Mr. Whitney has had every
newspaper reference to him since he be-
came Secretary of the Navy clipped out and
pasted into serapbook. The scrap book
now comprises forty large volumes.
W. S. GILBERT likes to design the dresses
of the women IN his plays. He says: ~
sbhor bustles, improvements, tight lacing
and all such denominations, and / think that
woman's dress should fall in natural folds
to the figure"
The Emperor of Austria is a splendid
horseman. His slender and graceful figure
is well adapted to the saddle. When riding
with his staff he can be recognized at dis
lance, beng quite conspicuous figure in
the cavalcade.
EDISON still works as hard and as industri-
ously as though he was just beginning his
career, and any day he may be found at his
bench at his shop in Orange, n. j., hard at
work, in his shirt sleeves, making with his
own hands models he considers too delicate
to trust to another.
The Russian Empress thinks little of
court etiquette. Recently at some function
at the Danish court, where properly she
had precedence of the Princess of Wales,
she laughingly invited the Princess to go
ahead of her, saying: When l I'm here
am only my mothers second daughter"
The Mikado of Japan is about thirty-six
years old, considerably taller than the
average japanese, and has for sixteen
years worn European dress. His hair is
worn somewhat long, is very heavy,
and parted near the center. His Majesty is
very studious and extremely well versed
in all, the current affairs of Importance
throughout the world.
PORE LEO rises at Eve o'clock in summer
and six in winter He takes half an hour to
QIeSS duu du UOuT W HcOitdCc. Az ClSU
O'Clock he takes his coffee and roll. Leo
XIII. is one of the most abstemlous Of
men, and the entire expenses of his table
do not average more than one dollar day
the whole year round. 1t must be remem-
bered that the Pope always takes his meals
alone.
The Bonanza King Of Nevada, Senator
Jones, retains his cheerful face and humor-
Gus ways through all the vicissitudes of his
career, even if he is less efiorescent than
he used to be in other times. When he finds
fitting company, he spins yarns of frontier
life that are both broad and long. and, II he
can be induced to make book Of them, he
will get an audience larger than ever list
ened TO any of his political speeches, or
even his financial demonstrations.
