The gas fckered in lonesome sort of
fashion at the National Theatre as the rain
played wierd minor harmopies on the
aw ding outside the door. The few people
who were in the theatre seemed grateful
because they were not getting soaking
wei-notfipg more. The jokes that were
gotten off staggered as far as the footlghts,
and then fell lat With q thump that made
the tenor d, ON rattle in hollow merriment.
Some Zines laugh would start in the gal
lery, but 1t would die a premature delSh
before it had gone fifty yards. Aud yet the
enthusiasm was all that could be expected
OF so small house in such miserable
weather. even If the show had comprised all
the comedy talent In existence. The spell
was broken at last, however. The old
familiar type of German comedian came ON,
and got of a good old joke which could
moi fail TO call forth an audible recognition
from everybody. seizing this slight ad-
vantage the comedian brought down the
house. "Dhere isn't many of us. We may
as veil inloy ourselves he remarked, In a
winning tone. II wasn't a new device, but
the audience caught on, and were good
natured for the rest of the evening.

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways TO charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tation of passengers or property than 1t
charges for a like and contemporaneous
service This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the interior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride less number of miles and still reach
the same points The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be we'll patronized- The Missouri
Pacific Ry(Fort Scott Route)offers such in
ducements as mentioned above and great
many more which space will not permit to
enumerate. IL you are not aware OF this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the / test
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it trial and you will ALWAYS
thereafter take the popular route. 1t is
the short line to St Louis (by IS miles as
well as to all Colorado, California and
Washington Territory points. Before

"Reasons Why"

''ReasonS why
You should patIonize the great Rock Is
land route:
l. Because it is always first to give
cheap rates.
2 Because it gives to its patrons only
first class accommodations
g. Because it runs free chair cars on all
trains and Pullman sleeping cars on all
night trains leaving Wichita
4. Because its ticket agents will sell you
tickets and check your baggage to destina-
tions be it east. west, north or south, and
always ready to give reliable information
5. Because it is noted on account of its
gentlemanly employees and the attention
paid its patrons.
6. Because it is the only line that ladies
and children can travel over without
worry or trouble and receive the best of
treatment by all employees.
z. Because its tracks are of the heaviest
steel rail. rock ballast, iron bridges, COM
modious station houses and the finest eat
ing houses in the world.
These are only few reasons why you are
justified in selecting the great Rock Island
route when going on a journey for business
or pleasure-for comfort, speed and safety
the Rock Island route is way ahead. Call
at the ticket offices of this company for
rates, dates, and routes and further infor-

how to manage it. 1t does not harmonic
with the rest of our social economy, conse-
guently, instead of being a delightful adorn-
ment to our social lives, it becomes an un-
nose of fashion, as it were. A five
O'Clock tea is in itself little thing, half
an hour in a lady's drawing-room, slice Of
their bread and butter, a tiny cup of tea or
chocolate and perchance a sweet biscuit.
Yet, like the speck of dust in a watch, it dis
arranges the whole running gear of the
day. / am firmly convinced that five o'clock
teas, innocent and beautiful as they seem
in themselves, have been productive OF
more wholesale misery in society than any
other recently introduced fad Of fashion.
If we want to introduce English customs
we must follow the example Of MIR. Gil
bert's Lord High Executioner and begin at
the bottom and work up. THERE'S no use in
attempting to graft custom here and a
foible there upon our social trunk unless we
want the whole to appear like one of Cesi-
nola's statues, "a medley of unrelated
parts" We must fashion our social Gus
toms as we should our clothes, to accord
with our methods Of life. The farmer who
started out in the morning to do a days
blowing clad in swallow-tailed coat, patent
leather pumps and white kid gloves would
probably be regarded as mildly eccentric,

New YORK, March 9.-The court of
appeals has handed down its decision in
the case Of Mary Irene Hoyt, appellant,
affirming the judgment of the court which
held that Hoyt was perfectly sane when
he made the will. This decision settles
the famous contest over the millions left
by the late Jesse Hoyt, father of the &C.
centric litigant. Jesse Hoyt made his
will June 26th, 1882. He created fund,
the income of which would amount to
100000 per annum, for the benefit Of his
daughter, Mary Irene; but the income
was to be appropriated to her use at the
discretion of the exectors, and did not be-
come hers absolutely The estate invol-
we'd is about $10,O00,00O and had Miss
Hoyt succeeded in setting the will aside,
she would have secured the entire amount.
She will now have to content herself with
the $6O,OOO year that was left to her by
the will.
