THE BLACKSMITH'S APRON.
Why 1t Is Always slit and Generally
Fringed All Round the Bottom.

Why 1t Is Always Silt and Generally
Fringed All Round the Bottom.
Every one knows that blacksmith wears
leather apron, and must have noticed that
this apron Is often slit and often fringed at
the bottom. As an English legend, it is re-
lated that, once upon a time, Alfred the
Great called all the trades together to ap-
point a trades king. He declared that be
would make that man king who could best
get on without the help Of others for the
longest period. He made a feast, and asked
Q workman from each trade TO come and
bring a specimen of his work and the tools
used in making it. The blacksmith brought
hammer and horseshoe, the tailor brought
his shears and a new coat, the baker his peel
and a loaf, the shoemaker his awl and a new
pair of shoes, the carpenter his saw and
nice box, the butcher his chopper and a joint,
the mason his chisels and carved stone.
The tailor's coat was Of such surprising
beauty that all the guests declared themselves
beaten and the horseshoe, the bread, thes shoes,
the box, the meat and the carved stone were
all thrown aside. The tailor was pronounced
trades king by Alfred, and was duly installed
The blacksmith was angry. and declared that
be would do no more work while the tailor
was king, and be actually shut ~ his shop
and disappeared

CENTRAL STATION LOCATED.
The Directory of the Wichita Electric Railway
Company Decides Some Impor-
tant Questions

The directory of the Wichita Electric
railway has decided to locate the power
station of the new system at the corner of
Tenth and Wichita streets. The company,
for the purpose, has secured a plot of
ground 120x400 feet on the Missouri Pacific
tracks, which viii make a most desirable
location for central station.
The dimensions of the building to be con-
structed as yet have not been decided upon
but as estimated it will be 1O0xS0 feet, of
brick, and one and one-half stories high.
1t is believed this will give sufficient room
for boilers, engines, dynamos and other
machinery.
The Riverside & Suburban station at
present is supplied with 220-horse power
To this at the new station will be added
2S0-horse power, making clever and eff
cient total of 500-horse power, or one of the
largest plants to be found east or west
The Thompson-Houston people are already
commencing to figure on the plant and it
is desired to commence work within few
days.
The electrician, Mr.. Baily, of Chicago,
who will superintend that feature of the
work, is expected to arrive tomorrow He
will commence work Immediately on the
station and line The company has on
hand q large amount of ties, and several
car loads of rails. The work can be com
menced as soon as Mr.. Baily arrives and
can make the arrangements for commenc-
ing Systematically.

LOOKING TOWARDS WICHITA.

Mayor Clement stated yesterday thar his
visit TO Chicago had been a most pleasant
one in a business way. For a long time he
has been in correspondence with a leading
wholesale hardware house there about
coming to Wichita; or rather establishing
a branch house here, and the encouraging
letters from them was one of the causes
for the trip. He reports a most favorable
opinion OF the city held by the leading
stock holders of the concern and within a
few days, or as soon as the weather makes
promises of being clear. a representative
viii visit the city and give the question
personal and emphatic attention.
Mr. Clement also had a very satisfactory
talk with gentlemanin the grain elevator
business and found that one of the leading
companies of Chicago had been consider
ing seriously the matter of putting a large
elevator in Wichita. Also representa-
tive of that company IS expected to be in
the city within the next six weeks TO give
the question personal attention.

ELEVEN COUNTIES.

The executive committee of the Southern
Kansas Fair association met in this city
yesterday with President Glover, of Cow
ley, present and presiding Colonel B. H.
Campbell of the executive committee in
forms us that the eleven great grain and
live stock counties surrounding this CITY
viii be invited to participate directly with
such inducements as are possible and such
advantages and considerations as they may
demand as proper. The greatest fair ever
held in Kansas will be held in Wichita
next fall. No state fair ever held at Bis
marck or at Topeka viii equal it for the
simple reason that the eleven counties re-
ferred to are capable of greater and grandcr
things than all northeastern Kansas COM
bined, for no state fair has been more than
a circumscribed district arrangement.

In the majesty of his grand old age. His
thick, silky hair fell like a veil of snow aboui
his shoulders His tail, gaunt figure was
straight as an arrow. His dark blue eyes
were dazzling in their penetrating brilliancy
They were eyes that seemed with one glance
to search and know ones inmost soul. His
striking aquiline features were full of won
derful expression as he talked. He seemed a
god to fear and worship. His sarcasm, his
brilliant wit, was beyond conception. l do
not believe any man on earth ever contained
SO much greatness. To call him simply a
great musician is to stop at but one quality
in his genius. He was great artist, a great

They soon proved by trial the advantages
of Wichita and secured the remainder of
the building, a room 25X70 feet; to which
they soon added another sixty feet in

February 1, 1888, they moved to

have switch facilities and about
5000 feet of floor space in the main

Origin of the Waltz.

The generally accepted story is that the
waltz comes from Germany; but little in
vestigation viii show that this statement is
open to discussion. as far back SIS the
Twelfth century the waltz was known in
Provence, but under the name of the volta
The song which accompanied il was called q
ballada. Under Lewis VII il was brought
from Provence to Paris, and was the fashion
during the whole Of the Sixteenth century,
especially in the luxurious court of the Va
lois
Then the Germans adopted it, and the Pro
vencel volta became the German waltz The
years passed, and then in or about 1870 the
waltz once more crossed the Rhine and was
introduced into France. From France it was
taken to England; thence 1t spread to this
country and soon became the favorite dance
of the civilized world.-Ssn Francisco Chroni-

AFTER THE STORM.

The city council will meet tomorrow to
canvass the vote of Tuesday for members
of the council. 1t is thought scarcely proba-
bic that there will be any contests on hand.
The result was quite positive in all the
wards for council and scarcely a show for
a contest in the absence of changing the
right and left figures of the returns. The
defeated candidates were not smiling as
brightly as the successful ones, but that
was no surprise to any one. 1t was not
expected they would be as cheerful as the
other fellows, but they would aim to make
the best of it and move along with a quick
step

A Famous Church RnhniIt.

A fact little known is that the Church Of
the Puritans Congregational, which Dr.
George B. Cheever brous-t into particular
prominence by his vehement Sunday evening
anti-slaVery sermons, delivered on the break
ing out of the civil war, was, after demoh-
ton, put up again, stone by stOne,- in another
part of the city. When it stood on the west
side of Union square its gray granite walls
covered with ivy and its two irregular tow
ers were for years conspicuous to the Broad
way throng In its present restored condi-
ton in Fifty-third street, near Seventh ave-
nue., its walls are iyyless, which so alters its
appearance that it readily escapes recogni-
ton, especially under the name of the Colored
Baptist church, which purchased the old edi-
fee and had the material carefully removed.
