Another Old Soldier at Rest.


DISCRETIONARY. March Sd, 1890. OF
quick consumption, John Wilkins,
aged about So years.
: Mr.. Wilkins was taken some weeks
ago with the grip, but up to week
or ten days ago was not thought to be
dangerously i'll. The disease, how.
ever, settled into quick consumption,
and thus another of Barton county
earliest settlers has gone to the land
from which none return. He lived
about seven miles northwest of Great
Bend, in Eureka township, where he
settled in the infancy of our county.
He was man we'll liked by all his
acquaintance and neighbers, a good
farmer and loving father. He leaves
two children, Chas. F. Wilkins and
Mrs. H. Boyer, his wife having rested
in the Great Bend cemetery for sew
eral years. The funeral occurred at
10 a. M. Wednesday, from his late
home, and the remains mournfully
followed to the tomb by many regret
full friends.

favor throughout the South and ia

ROMANCE OF THE ECONOMIES.
Unable to Marry, Two Lovers Become
Lifelong Friends.
FROM DE PhEadelDhia Pres


PITTsBURG, Dec. 3l.-The death on Sun
day evening of Miss Gertrude Rapp at
Economy recalls the sad romance Of her
youth. she was the granddaughter Of
George RApp, the founder Of the Harmony
society, and when her parents became
converts to the strange doctrines, and,
in accordance with the demand for
celibaoy, separated, Miss Rapp was a
merry. prattling child. The Rapps were
much better born than the majority of the
HarmoniJes, their Intelligence, education,
and refinement Offering "a strong contrast to
most of their associates. Gertrude, al ways
sweet-loOking and attractive, developed
into a beautiful gIrl. At this time Jacob
Henrici, now the president OF the society,
was in the beydaY Of his youth. He was
fine-looking aud very intellectual, with a
touch of polish and courtliness.
They lived, but could not marry. When
the elders Of the community had been
gathered to their fathers, and Mr. Henrlci
succeeded to the presid .ncy, he took up his
residence in the house in another wing of
which his old sweetheart had always had
her home. And heresthe two have passed
the evening of their days, the passionate
love Of youth having merged into a tender
friendship. Together they have ministered
TO the people, who looked upon them as
joint rulers. Tho death of this lovely old
lady viii be a sad blow to Mr.. Heinrich and
the little community where for SO many
years she has reigned as queen. She was
81 years OF age, but retained all her faculties

The Tribulations of the Corean Le-
CATION and Their Love for Society.
From the .Nel1 York Tribune
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The members of
The Chinese, japanese, and Corean legations
have a great liking for society. The three
members CT the Corean, Mr.. Ye Wan Yong,
Mr.. We Cha Yam and Mr.. Kang Sing, are
especially fond of gong out. When they
came here last winter they called every day
in the week, and went to every luncheon,
tea, and reception. Unwilling this year to
wait until the formal beginning of the
season, they have already begun their
rounds. Only the secretary, Mr. We Cha
Yam, can talk English, but they are all
pleasantly received by every one except the
servants They seem to have an antipathv
10 these three Mongolans in their wide
trousers, blue tunics and steepe hats, which
they never remove. These head-Gresses de-
note their rank, and it is the greatest in
dignity to refer to them. They have been
all over Washington, and it was only this
week they were disturbed. They called in
n body at the house of a supreme court
justice on Monday. When they entered.
the butler, who CHANGED to be new, eyed
their cards with disfavor AS they were
about to enter the drawing-room door he
planted himself squarely before them aud
said:
''No gemmen' are lowed in de parlor with
dey hats on"
The hostess rescued the poor foreigners
aDd their treasured hats from the incensed
butler.
Great visitors as the Corean men are.
their wives are even greater. When they
ere not calling they sit at the windows of
the legation, and watch every street Incl
dent with the greatest interest. One of
them was taken i'll with a cold a short time
ago, and when neghbor asked for her
her husband gravely replied:
"My wife, she sit at window to watch
procession go by. She catch the cold. l.
is womaL-hke to sit at window" he added,
