The only handicap competition he has en-
gagged in was the running high jump at the
big games of the Boston Athletic associa-
ton last February, ia which he received ~
inches. The slippery floor prevented his
clearing over feet inches and be was un-
placed. In practice he has tried throwing
weights, but is nothing in this branch of
athletics compared TO his ability in jump
ing. He is member of the TrimOunt Ath-
letic club and practices on one of the famous
public outdoor igymnasiums owned by his
native city
His style at the running hop, step and
jump is unusually fine, and in giving the
step, which is where most athletes are
weak, he shows wonderful ability Ia recov-
ering and going on just as though there
were no jar in landing from the hop which
takes place just previous to the step. His
figures for the three distinct portions of his
favOrite game are about as follows: Hop, 16
feet; step, 13 feet, and jump, 15 feet. Those
who are familiar with this game can see
what fine divisions these are, and without
seeing him perform they can get capital
idea of how he accomplishes such good rec
ords at this particular event He conf
IDENTIFY expects during the warm months to
place the best American amateur record to
his credit, and as be has already come SO
near it there is little likelihood that he wiz
fail in his attempt.

Success is the Reward
of Merit

Frequently the public are
treated to treaties on moral
and civil government. To
the moral standing Of the
community in which we do
business, and finally to the
commercial standing of the
business competitors, the
Arcade" takes Il different
view Of advertising and
does not deem it the busi-
ness Of the public whether
or no a business house has
any commercial standing at
all, but the Arcade insists
that what should give one
house preference over an
other is the kind of goods
kept and especially theprice
asked. Indeed a house may
not have the handsomest
clerks and the proprietornot
be of the popular political
faith, nor his religious views
be in harmony with the ma
iOrity. The Arcade asks for

THE ARCADE
SHAMS e SHAMERS.

If there is anything that
deserves the disapproba-
ton and contempt of
the public it is a profes-
sion of merit. To make
"a claim without the realty
is simple deception and
money obtained on false
claims almost comes under
the head Of a criminal of
fense. To claim the exclusive
sale Of goods. on which to
monopolize a big price
when other houses in the
line are known to be hand
ling the same goods deserves
the disapproyal of the de
creeing public. The Arcade
does not claim to be the on
ly house in the Dry Goods
business in Wichita, but the
"Arcade" does profess to
have facilities by which she
owns her goods for less
money than any other
house in Wichita and can
therefore sell the self same
goods for less than any other
house in the city.

AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
European Nations Allow it to Go On
Without Restriction.

LONDON, June 9.-The Europeans do not
seem to be making much progress in their
professed object of suppresslng the slave
trade, which is made the preteXt for seiZ-
ing and apportioning Africa The Red sea
trade in kidnapping children continues to
flourish without any attempt being made
Tor Its suppression. Several thousands or
these children are kidnapped from Africa
every year and disposed of at various
places along the Red sea, where they are
subjected to terrible treatment. The fact
that there is no fertile territory to be
seized under the preteXt of stopping
the cruel trade in innocent and helpless
humanity probably accounts for the cir
cumstance that England does not spare
any of her immense fleet for that object,
although the British station at Alden is
very near the track of the Slavers. So far
from suppressinG slavery on the east
coast and along the Congo the system is
rather encouraged by the compensation
paid to slave owners for the labor of their
human chattels and the anxeties of the
various European invaders of the dark
continent to realize on their investments
has made the traffic in slaves brisker than
before.
The most appalling accounts are re
Ceived of the sutferings of the people in
upper Egypt and along the scene of the eX-
peditiOn for the relief of Gordon. 1t is
said that the inhabitants driven desperate
by starvation, feed upon each other while
all kinds of animals, however Ioathsome
are eagerly sought for food. The
wretched people fight with each
other for mOrsels and hundreds are
perishing daily. Failure Of crops is said
to cause this awful misery, though the
wars caused by British ambition for terri
tory have doubtless had their influence in
causing the failure of the crops. Indeed
it is said that the slaughter of the male
population left the devasted region with
out sufficient male labor to raise the crops

Malcolm w. Ford Writes of J.
B. Connolly, Of Boston.
HIS GREAT HOP, SKIP AND JUMP.

He Made ~ Feet 10 Inches on Ayti-
fetal Ground and 1t Brought Him the
Championship-His Best Records at
other Events.
J. B. Connolly, who is shown by the
accompanying illustration, is a resident OF
Boston, and although be has competed in
athletics but a comparatively short sine
is already very prominent as an aIl-round
amateur jumper. He won the championship
on April 70 for the running hop, step and
Jump, clearing Il feet 10 inches, and nom
inally beating the best amateur record OF
~ feet IA inches. The ground on which
he did this performance being Of an artificial
nature prevents ConnoIly's performance
from actually supplanting the old record
made out OF doors on grass; but he dis
tanced about dozen competitors when he
won the event, and ne is without doubt the
best amateur in the United States at this
event.
He is q years old, 5 feet 81 inches high,
and weighs 148 pounds in jumping costume.
He has competed in ifty-fye different
events, all of which were scratch, and he
has finished first twenty-five times, second
eighteen times, third twelve times, and
several times unplaced.
His first competition was a running high
jump with weights at Oak Island, Boston,
May so, 1887, in which he won second place
with feet II inches Since then he has
made the following records, all Of which
are so high class that they speak for them
selves: Standing bread jump without
weights, 10 feet; with weights, u feet 8
inches; three standing broad jumps with
out weights, 50 feet; with weights, 38 feet;
standing high jump without weights, 4feet
inches; with weights, 5 feet inches; run
ming high jump without weights, feet 81
inches; with weights, 5 feet 8 inches; run
ming broad jump without weights, 10 feet
inches; running hop, step and jump, out
of doors, AS feet 1111 inches; indoors, "A feet
10 inches. Most of these performances
were made on poor ground, and in differ
ent trials under favorable conditions Con-
molly has beaten all of these figures.

the moral courage of Daniel, who find ma

I'VE formulate our faith in creed state

is the same old question of the letter and
the spirit. The science of ethics is becOm-
ing the science of what is, rather than
what ought TO be, and if a doctrine of right
succeeds at all, it is the determination
that whatever is, is right. In the name

the terrorism of popular sentiment.
Historic movement as well as the
actions of individuals must be judged by
fixed principles. We cannot eliminate
doctrines because we do not like them nor
can we insert new ones ourselves, because
popular clamOr calls for them. What is
written is written, but it viii be read with
different emphasis in different periods and

fifth week of the campaign:

These figures are pregnant with mean
ing They show first, If they show any
thing, how futile is the hope that two clubs,
both having the same name, can play on
the same days and live under the present
basis of expenses and high salaries. To
fully comprehend this self evident fact it
is only necessary to reflect that the ex-
penses of the clubs which are parties 10 the

What Is known as sae baseball war is
now at it's height in hecities of New York,
Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. These
cities are univers ally acknowledged to be
the most profitable OF any in America,
there being but one other-Ch Chicago-which
is in any way to be compared to them. It
is generally bad lasts to say Il told you
So" but there are occasions when such an
expression, or en- array of facts amounting
to the same thing, msy be pardoned. In
commenting upon the result of this fight
at it's very inception, my argument was
that sympathy for the players would be
but temporary factor In It and that with
in two months the contest would narrow
down to question Of ball playing and at
fractions pure and simple, that the players
who were going into business on their own
hook did not have monopoly of the skill
ed talent and that they did not have all the
attractions This view was scClfed ut by
three-fourths of the baseball writer's of the
country, particularly by those who have
done the most TO foster the Players league.

old. The following figures cover the pc

The figures have given above show a

leading in this respect, rs during the en-
tire time they cover the weather was

did prevent games on one or more days in

The weather handicap kept away many
people. There is some apathy, Of course,

the baseball war and be shown in the state
