now TO BE HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED.

There was a large and appreciative audi
ence at the First Presbyterian church last
night to listen to what DIR. Winters had to
say about How to he Happy Though
Married" The speaker attributed the
origin OF the term better half to the fact
of a preponderance Of females over males
in the human family on the ground of the
fittest He chose to class the audience
into the welded, those who intended to
wed. and those who intended never to
wed, the latter class of whom he consider
ed very small He stated that the only
safe basis and foundation of marriage is a
well tested supreme affection, and when
entered on any other grounds was viola
ton Of natural law, and should beOf social
law as well. and was not productive of
happy homes but of cages of burning hot
iron. To the young people he said the day
they decided to marry was either the hap
piest or worst day of their existence, and
deprecated the fact that while this step
was the greatest and most i'm
portant of their lives, that so
many rushed into matrimony without
proper consideration. as moths into street
lamps to their ruinatiou. He gave good

together as one, but not until mature

said young lady should not marry man
whom she could not consider her equal
and respect. as what she could not respect
she would not love, nor 10 marry a man of
bad habits, nor to sell herself for his
wealth, nor for home, and above all not
to marry a dude young man should
not marry n girl whom he does not love
and is kind TO her mother. who does not
know how 20 keep house, and who is not
willing 10 begin with him at the lowest
step Of the ladder if need be. and help him
to climb up. and should never marry her
for beauty. as there are but few cases
where beauty of face will last for twenty
years.
To those already married be gave whole
some advice as how to retain their affec-
ton for one another in many practical
WAYS which the audience seemed TO appre-
ciate and enjoy. He closed the lecture
with the hope that he may have poured
oil on the troubled waters and frightened
the home life of some family, for which he
would feel amply repaid for the effort OF
the evening.
The lecture was quite interesting and
the ladies who. have the lecture series in
charge were quite well pleased with the

A SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
The Illinois township Sunday school con-
vention was held in the Rising Sun school
house. December II. Tne first thing on
the program was "A Model Sunday
school" conducted by Mr.. James Allison,
of Wichita. The officers and teachers were
selected from the various schools present,
and represented model set of teachers.
After the model school adjourned, Mr.. f.
A. Woolf took the chair and introduced
the Rev. William Clapper to the conven-
ton, who gave a stirring talk on The
Suuday-school: How Conducted to Reach
the Best Results" After some music,
which was rendered in pleasing manner
by the choir, Mr.. r {. Miller discussed
the question, How 70 Build Up Sunday
School, How to Break one Down." in an
able and interesting manner. Mr.. Miller
has had good deal of experience as a
Sunday school worker. and was able
TO give some practical hints on
how to build up Sunday school.
and he thought that the less said about
the other part of the question the better.
After others had taken part IN the discus
sion which followed, the convention adj
iourned for dinner Al p. IN. the con-
vention was called to order and the Use
and Abuse of Lesson Help was treated IN
very interesting way by Mr.. +. A
Woolf This is a subject which Is recelv-
ing good deal of attention from Sunday
school workers. and there seems 70 be an
opinion that the lesson helps are taking
the place of the Bible in some of our sun
day schools. Mr. Woolf thought that this
should be guarded against and that the
helps should be used in The preparation or
the lesson at home, and should never be
taken to the class.
Miss Oracle Stone next rendered Tom
my Trot, or the Outcast Grandpa" IN
very pleasing manner.
Mr. Allison then took the flor and put
in a powerful plea for the Teachers Meet
ing"
He spoke from long experience, and said
that the benefits derived from teachers
meetings were of such nature that sun
day school teachers could not afford to be
without expense. Next in order was the
question box, which was in charge OF Mr..
Allison. The questions were AL practical
and were answered to the satisfaction of
all After the election of officers for the
ensuing year. the convention adjourned to
meet at d. IN. at the evening session
Mr.. A. J. Gard addressed the convention
on How Best to Induce Our Scholars t.
Study Their Lessons at Home" Mr.. Gard
thought the parents might help In this
matter as well as the teachers. Alter an
address from ID. Mccormack and very
able paper by Mr.. George Chritton on
'Punctuality in the Sunday School," the
convention adjourned.

Mrs c. s. Sherman, wife of the pro

righting a matter of this character after
it has been started off wrong. We know
nothing about Bishop Hennessey's letter.
but we are very certain that it did not apply
to Kansas. Rawlins countyin the far north
west, next to the Nebraska line is the only
county that has made public appeal for
aid. However the Bishop of Wichita's
diocese reaches to the extreme western
limit of the state. and there may be COM
munities where there were short crops, in
which there is suffering As for the prin-
cipal settled and cultivated portions of the
state there can be no more than the ordi-
nary suffering of the INDECENT such as is
found in communities in every state.

A ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR STAKE.

The Horse World and Sportsman's Com
panion, of Buffalo, n. Y, contains a col
umn editorial on Ashland Wilkes which,
in tracing out the strains Ashland's dam
and sire, says that there is nothing an
tagonistic in his blood lines and that he
must be potent producer of trotters of
extreme speed
For the benefit of all of Ashland Wilkes
colts Mr.. Toler is going to offer $1,000 as a
stake in a state race for the product of his
farm for 1891, to be run in '94 In other
words, all colts springing from the Toler
farm in 1891 will be permitted to trot for
this 8, 900 free of any entrance fee. No
stock farm west of Kentucky has ever
made such an offer for the benefit of its

There was a general YES. it is" and

that it was simply chair car put on for
the people who heretofore have been riding
in and out of the city on the old Wichita

make their heads swim riding in those
fine, upholstered chairs. There seems TO
be a general howl among the travelling
