A CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr. Tom Fitch, superintendent of the
Electric railway is in receipt Of many in
teresting letters daily from the city. The
correspondence as a rule has something TO
say about the street car service. As a
sample the following epistle received yes
terday:
Citizens st. Car Co., City.
Gentlm, Listen, ! mean you! The public
Is disguised with the pancity of cars on
the various lines, The small minority

A Present for a HouseLeeper.

There are few tables now where dishes
are set on and left. Where the custom still
prevails there is the same necessity as of
old for dinner mats, but they are so de-
forming TO the symmetry Of the table that
people cover them with embroidered linen
pieces. For an old fashioned housekeeper
young friend could make an acceptable
gift Of set of these mat covers. Half a
dozen is set. and there should be three
sizes, each slightly larger than the straw
or Stat mats they are to cover. The edge
may be button holed in a heavy trefoil
scallop, done with yellow linen floss.
Above the scallops may be three rows Of
feather stitching, done with yellow. Or
the work may all be done in white. The
linen used for the mats should be heavy
linen sheeting or duck.-Alrs. NJ. c. Hun
gerford in HaTper's Bazaar.

This continued for ten minutes, when he
suddenly and deliberately seated himself
on the floor, and remained in that position,
breathing heavily, for space Of five
minutes. Then he abruptly arose, and for
ten minutes more enacted the same mani
acal scene. Finally, being attracted by the
light which be beheId at the window, he
cautiously approached, his eyes blazing
and his teeth grating with sound ike

Dr. j. B. Walker. the attending physi-
clan, said: 1T is a remarkable case OF peri
odic insanity, although in no respect a
typical one. For sixteen weeks every night
this man. at precisely 40, has become vio-
lently insane, the attack lasting about half
an hour. AT all other times he is as "a
tional az any man. Close study and OBJ
servstion have convinced me of the genu-
ineness of his insanity. / have admins
tered as much as sixty grains of choral TO
prevent a paroxys1n, with no perceptiole
effect. He receives a warning of one min
ute before each attack.
In order to test the case Rider was called
before a small party at the hospital one
evening, and Dr. Walker said to him:
Eli, these men are physicians, and We
have concluded, as a last resort in your
case, that if you have another attack to-
night it will be necessary for US TO burn
your spine along its entire length with
red hot iron"
Rider grew pale and strongly objected
This is severe treatment, it is true, but
necessary if you have another attack, as
we have all agreed"
Still he objected. It lacked only fifteen
minutes of his time for the spell. In front
of his door an attendant was heating an
iron rod in a soldering stove. Rider WINGED
as he glanced at it, but entered the room.
An attendant refused to put the straps on
the patient. 1t was 7:S9
"Then give me the cuffs" exclaimed the
doctor, and before he had finished the sen

hands were at the throat of spectator. \
terrific struggle ensued, and it required
four strong men to throw him to the floor.
The straps were adjusted, chloroform was
administered, and in half an hour Rider
was again himself, but obIivious Of all that
had taken place.-Chicago Tribune.

Where COleridge Lies Buried.

That our transatlantic kinsmen form a
majority of the visitors to Stratford-on-
Avon, to the birthplace and mausOleum Of
Burns, and other literary shrines in the old
country, is a circumstance which should
be recorded to their praise. Americans, it
appears, are almost the only persons who
think it worth while to visit, in still semi
rural Highgate, the last resting place of
Samuel Taylor Coleridge. A moe dismal
spot than that which contains the dust of
the poet can hardly be imagined.
Situated in the center of the crypt of the
chapel of Highgate grammar school, which
is entered by open archways from two sides
Of the building, the unsightly proportion
of the tomb is conspicuous amid its lugu-
briOus surroundings. On the fiat surface
of the massive stone is engraved the name
"Coleridge," while Immediately above the
entrance to the vault list of the family
interments is inscribed. Alongside the
poets grave a temporary Judgment has
been formed for anumber of disused school
desks, upon which, from their antique
and rickety appearance, school boy prede-
cessors of the poet may have practiced the
engraver's art.-Pall Mall Gazette.

COMIC OPERA.
Every lover Of music and fun living in
Wichita cannot fail something closely
akin to thrill of pleasure in seeing the
announcement of the coming of w. z.
Carleton's opera company to the Craw-
ford Grand on next Monday and Tuesday
evening. Although it will be the first
visit of the Carleton company to Wichita,
it will not come here as an entire stranger
by any means, as it has doubtless been
seen and heard by many residents while
visiting Kansas City. Chicago cor some of
the leading eastern cities, where it has
been regular visitor for the past seven
years. He is generally conceded to be the
standard of excellence among travelling
light opera companies. by the critics
of the press of all the principal
cities. One of the most substantial proofs
of the high character of the company is
the extremely high percentage of the re-
ceipts which is guaranteed by Manager
Crawford When it is considered that
they are the highest ever given by him TO
any attraction he has brought to Wichita
then some idea of its standing in his esti-
nation may be had. The company num-
bers half a hundred of the best artists in
comic opera Among them are Clara
Lane, Clara Wisdom, Marion Langdon,
Bertha Lavoy, Jennie Willard, Claire de
Short and JEANNE Winston; J. X. Muir
ray, Chas. B. Bigelow, Harold c. Blake,
Ralph de Mesa, Dushane, Coward. Wal
ter West, Miles Parker, w. r. Dixon
and w. I. Carleton, himself and in
addition a chorus that is acknowledged 10
be, without exception, the best in Amer
lea.
On Monday evening, "Nanon," loveliest
of operas, which, with Mr.. Carleton in the
principal role ran an entire year at the
New York Casino, and has since been sung
over =, 200 times by him in all the leading
cities from Boston to San Francisco, will
be given. On Tuesday evening "The
Mikado"-complete version, and the first
production of the opera ever
given in Wichita. Two more beautiful
operas could not be chosen and given, as
they will be, with a wealth of special
scenery, gorgeous costumes, etc. They
will make two evenings of great enjoy
ment to all who love good singing and
hearty laughter.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Chas A Gardner. one of the finest Ger
man dialect comedians now before the
public, appears at the opera house tonight
in "Fatherland, a Tyrolean comedy which
is better constructed and much more in
teresting than many of the dramas now in
vogue. Mr. Gardner as Herman Leopald,
a Tyrolean guide, is the central figure of
the play. and the various scenes give him
abundant opportunity to use a good dia-
lect. to sing number of songs and to
dance. He has very sweet voice which
he uses with effect and the songs which he
sings are pretty and tunetul There is
charming widow played by Miss Eva
Byron, who is pursued by a rascally
brother-in-law, and the hero, the
gallant Tyrolean guide has his
hands full in taking care OF the widow and
making love TO her in the interval Of the
williams pursuit Virtue is, of course,
triumphant and vice baffied. The four
acts of the play afford chance for great
deal of local color in dress and scenery.
