Concerning William O'Conaor's defeat
by Stansbury, the Australian, In their re-
cent scull race for the worlds champion
ship, many prominent oarsmen are of the
opinion that O'Connor could not have
been at his best, owing to the feeling of I'M
certainty he he's had since his arrival in
Australia concerning a fair match. OCon-
nor has said that there had been more
dickering and small play in the Antipodes
in regard TO any one rowing him than he
had ever before seen.
Professor Cation, the celebrated swim
ming instructor of Dublin, Ireland, advises
people who are teaching others co swim to
sit in punt or on rock with stout stick
10 or 10 feet in length, at the end of which
is a cord with feet or so of loops. The
learner puts himself into the loops, and the
teacher plays him as fisherman would
play a fish in water that is well out of his
depth, giving him just enough support TO
keep him up. After a few lessons many
boys require no support at all, and swim
with the rope dangling slack about them
They can then shift for themselves

TWO RuNAwAYS.

Last night the police was notified by
telegram of a couple of runaway boys
from Harrington, Kansas. According to
the instructions of the telegram Officer
Wood met the Rock Island train and
found no difficulty in locating the boys.
They were taken to the station where they
will be held until the arrival of their
father who is expected here early this
morning They gave their names as Weld
on Knitzly and Rodda Cloud aged respect
lively twelve and sixteen. hintzly's
father is the express agent at Harrington
and it is he who will likely come after the
runaways. Cloud had SS5 on his person
which had been given to him by kintZly
and he said that he was offered SO to ac-
company him. Kintzly said the amonnt
was originally sos but they had spent $40
in an outfit and for railway tickets. The
older of the two boys seemed to have no
particular object in running away eX-
cept TO accompany his young friend.
Kintzly did not have any very
definite object in view either
beyond a QuiXotic thirst for adventure.
The plan was rather vague but the nation
rs they termed it was the goal OF their
ambition where they hoped TO achieve
fame and fortune on the dime novel order.
Their arrest last night was severe blow
TO their hopes and the ignominy OF such
/ an unexpected defeat weighed heavily on
/ their minds Kintziy said the money was
his own. that he had saved it from time to
time and had only given it TO his father for
! safe keeping.
Their only solicitude last night was how
! they could find on opportunity TO continue
their journey and revive the thrilling
scenes of early days such as they had read
/ about.
Doubtless on their return home the boys
will be taught TO see the error of their
ways according 70 the methods in vogue

MARKET STREET PAVEMENT.

Alderman Schnitzler ID speaking Of paw
ing matters yesterday said he supposed
the Market street canal would receive at
tention pretty soon In its present condi-
ton the wheels Of vehicles were liable 70
be broken and at the same time the edge
of the pavement would suffer As the
street had been reinquished by the street
car company with the silent consent Of the
CITY the burden OF paving would naturally
fall on the tax payers. As the property
had been once assessed there was no way
out of the difficulty except TO have the i'm
provenent made by the city at large
There were several objections 10 this plan.
of course, but the legal objections would
be so purely technical they would not
stand, and any scheme was better than let
ting it alone as il IS.

fore Judge Barrett yesterday to plead
guilty. When, however, he learned there
was $500 in costs to be added to that he
withdrew his plea and demanded trial
The case will be heard Friday on charge
of disturbing the peace. The case of Al
gaier occupied the most of the day in JUS
tice Keenan's court. The defendant is
charged with ENLIGHTENMENT and the point
at issue is, whether he has a partner or
agent authorized TO retain funds collected
or simply an employee, and therefore gull
tv of a defalcation. The court took the
matter under advisement at its conclusion.
A warrant was issued in Justice Mosley 5
court charging Maggie J. Palmer with en-
bezzling funds to the amount of 500 be
longing to Ella Sipe, for whom she was
acting as agent.
POLICE COURT.
The Gore belligerents were discharged
by the court with the understanding that
all causes of enmity should be buried.
Jackson Pearce, Robert Jacobs and Fred
Jacobs were three boys run in on a charge
of petty larceny The first mentioned was
fined SO and in default of which was SEN
fenced to the rock pile. The last two men
toned were released by the court because
they had been under the dominance of
Pearce all through the transaction. The
disposition of few petty offenders from
the preceding day made up the days

THE COILS TIGHTENING.

Some little time back reference was made
in the EAGLE to a Texas man, formerly a
resident of Wichita, who had appropriated
upwards of 5000 that was sent TO him to
pay off mortgage on certain lots in this
city. The reflection was rather broad
since great many Wichita men have been
soiourning in Texas to their sorrow. The
gentleman who is the main victim is in
New York and claims to have been de
frauded by the same party in other ways.
The Wichita victim is not so
badly off having foreclosed on his
mortgage and is now in possession of the
property, which, of course, Is worth the
money. Criminal proceedings will prob
ably be commenced in a few days when the
matter viii get publicity in the courts.
This result can only be averted by the par
ty in question squaring things at once,
which it is reported he is unable to do.
There is only one man in Wichita who
knows the party and refuses to give up the
name. but produces the evidence of the
embeZzlement.

CONSOLIDATED HOSPITALS.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
/ notice in the last few days two articles
urging the consolidation of the hospitals
in this city. There is no reason why the
Wichita and City hospitals should not, but
there are several reasons why they should
be consolidated. For several years the
Benevolent Home, now known as the
Wichita hospital, was the only institution
of the kind in the city. Then the St.
Francis was established and is supported
mainly by the Catholic church. Then
came the City hospital The Wich-
ita and City hospitals were started and
have been controlled by women belonging
to the different churches of the city, and
are entirely nOn-sectarian. In starting and
conducting these institutions, they have
done a good and noble work. Their having
received aid from the city and county
ought not to take from them any praise
that is their due.
But the time has come when these two
hospitals should be united. The fact that
the Wichita is attended by alopathy and
the city by homeopathic physicians should
not be allowed to stand in the way,
as in the consolidation the rights and
privileges of the two schools could be sat
isfactorily arranged. If it is desired that
the consolidated institution be retained by
the ladies, and as they have originated and
have so we'll conducted the two, they
ought not to be ignored, each board as it
now exists could say who of its members
should be members of the new board linn
iting the number so as not to make 1t too
large.
The city has been giving to each of
these hospitals 5000 year. The county
has been giving to each 800 year, max
ing to the two 81, 600 year from the city
and county One has been paying 5000 d
year rent, the other S4O0 Thus one-half
of the allowance from the city and county
has gone for the one item of rent. There
are now two sets of house officers to pay
and two houses to heat. The case stands
about this way:
City and county to the two hos
pltalS.... ......--............. ....S E,oOV
Rent for two houses. 81 300
Fuel for two houses. ......,.. 200
Matrons for two houses. ..... 600
Cooks for two houses. ........ 2iO--- 2,34O
DdldHCe.. - ~IO
Thus leaving for all other purposes only
$3.50 out of the public allowance. The rest
of the expenses to be made up by private
subscriptions and donations. The sub
subscriptions and donations have fallen off
very much during the past year, caused
by the hard times
One hospital under the control of an eff
fcent and experienced superintendent and
matron would do all the work done by the
two, quite as effectually and with but one
rent to pay, one house to heat, and one set
of employees to pay, at very much less ex-
pense The building now used by either
hospital would be large enough for the
consolidated hospital and is as well adapt
ed for the purposes as any building not
! specially built for the purpose,
