COMMITTEES AT WORK.

The Judiciary committee of the school
board, and buildings and grounds COM
mlttee held very interesting session yes
terday morning. The contractors seeking
school boilding jobs were on hand for
discussion on the bond question. Jones
q Page presented a bond which the board
considered but did not take action on.
The contractors asked that they be given
until today to strengthen it. F. A Nixon
was also on hand with bond for the same
contract, the Third ward building, and he
also thought he could improve on his bond
should time be granted. So the commit
tees decided that another meeting would
be held today to consider the bond Ques-
ton. 1t was promised the one having the
best bond. should it be good enough,
would be awarded the contract.
The committee on heating ventilation
held meeting to consider the question of
a heating and ventilating system for the
Sixth ward building. The agent of the
Smead company said he could not accept
the offer of $1,000 and pay expenses for
making certain changes. 1t was decided
to recommend that the city pay for the
changes and the contract be awarded
Smead & Co. 1t now remains for the
board to act upon the report which will
probably be considered at its next meeting
Monday night.

extending the line to Newton. For some
months the extension has been under con-

Newton can be completed by the middle

weather. Before that line is completed
work will be commenced on the line from

Mr.. o. Martinson and wife yesterday
sent deed for six lots to Harry l.. Smith
son as a contribution towards the compile
ton of the Y. NJ c. A building The
generous action of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
son should be emulated. OF all the many
striking movements of enterprise that this
city has to show few of them impress the
stranger as does that building 1t speaks
not of greed nor of gain, but of intelli-
gent sentiment and the religious faith of
the people of Wichita, and is a guaranty
of their moral conceptions and convictions
which even church steeples, whatever their
height or finish could not equal. Denomi-
national pride or sectarian envy some
times build great churches; but, strangers
looking upon that great building are at
once convinced of the charity of the
churches which surround it and of the
liberality of the people as a whole, not
only, but of the city's high moral
standard. The example set by our friends
Mr.. Martinson and wife should be fol-
lowed.

Dickeas' Most Popular Character Not by

Dickeas' Most Popular Character Not by
| Any Means an Original.
Theever popular Sam Weller. it has
been sid, is not an original, and there
can beno doubt that there was pop
ular a,tor tempore Pickwick, named
Sam Vale. who performed one Simon
Splattedash. All his speeches were
larded With the illustrations that the
Pickwictian servant was so partial to.
Come Oh, as the man said to the right
boot" et,., was a specimen. The
similitude Of the two names is curious.
Later Dickens was intimate with a
family of the name of Weller, one of
whom became the mother of Miss
Thompson, the artist. The name is
particularly associated with Dorking,
where, it will be recollected, was Mr..
Weller. Sr.'s inn, The Marks of
CRANKY" On recent visit we noticed
the name of Weller on several houses,
as also that of Sawyer. The town is
full of inns, and visitors are sure to
note those old, crusted, full-favored
hostelries, the white Horse" and the
Red Lion" with another opposite, all
three still claiming to be the one
figured in the story. But the Weller
inn is described as having it's sign on
the opposite side of the road, which
proves it could not have been in the
main street, where there are houses on
both sides, and, indeed, it is plain that
Mr.. .Weller's house had not the preten-
sions of the white Horse" or "Red
Lion" A few hundred yards out OF
town, on the London road, there is
found roadside inn, which our author
had probably in his eye. The scene
where Sam is writing his valentine I'M
der the easy criticism of his father
suggests the well-known one of The
Rivals, where Acres is writing his
challenge. Actors always introduce
a ''gag" which they may have bor-
rowed from Mr. Weller; addressing
the same lady, being maloproposed
into undressing" We have the same
idea in Sans letter. Il feel myself
ashamed, and completely circum-
scribed in dressin' of you" Sans
curious story of the patient who "blew
his head off by eating crumpets was a
grotesque variation OF one related in
Boswells johnson, where the patient
fancied ''buttered mullins" A careful
study OF this admirably drawn char
acter will show that at the opening the
author had not quite grasped its capa-
bilitics. 1t was only after two or three
numbers progress that he had found
himself developing his happy varieties
of humor and illustration, which
ripened as he went along. -Cornhill
