MISTAKES OF THE REALIsTS.
The Noble and Beautiful May BE Real as
Well as the Repulsive.

The Noble and Beautiful May BE Real as
Well as the Repulsive.
Boston Gazette.
As far have been able to appreciate the
intention OF tho novelist who devotes himself
to realism, l discover that his ideas OF the
real are limited to the commonplace; and If |
were to derive theory from the realistic
fiction of the period, l should conclude that
there Is nothing real In life but the vulgar, the
cheap, and the conventionaly obvious. A
hod-carrier using his shirt sleeve or the back
Of his hand for a pocket handkerchief is
realism; woman frantically waving her
parasol In the air to signal the horse car driver
to stop for her, Is realism; the country lout or
the nOuveau richie using his knife to convey his
food TO his mouth, Is realism; social cancers
are realism; the overheated man tanning his
face with his hat, is realism; the repulsiVe is
one OF the foremost types of realism. In
other words, the realistic novelist is he who
has peculiar talent for cataloguing common
places. 1t does not seem to enter his mind
that there is any realism in lofty phases of
lie, or that there are realities that are not
trivialities. His ambition and his field of art
are confined to the describing of what every
body sees. Now, there is reality in the noble,
the dignifed, and the aspiring as well as In
the trite and vulgar; and there is as much
food for wholesome reflection in the parlors
OF the middle class or the draWing-rooms of
the wealthy as there is in the squalid novels
OF the back slums The realistic novelist in
Slsts that there Is no romance in everyday
life, and yet, II he reads his morning paper, he
shall see day after day that truth still con-
unues to be stranger than fiction.

FOOT BALL,

The much talked of event in athletic
affairs, the great foot ball game between
Wichita university and combination
team from the Lewis academy and Bust
ness college, will take place this afternoon
at the Riverside Ball park. 1t will
be the great athletic event of the season.
In weight the teams are evenly matched,
the average of the men of both clubs is
about 100 pounds, consequently holly
contested game may be expected. The
university have not lost game in two
years, and will endeavor TO maintain their
record, while their opponents are equally
determined to break their chain of VIC
tories.
The contest will be governed by the
American College association rules, the
same under which Yale and Princeton
play at Brooklyn today. 1t is the first
time that two uniformed teams have con-
tested for championship honors in this
city, and without doubt a large crowd will
witness the event. Game called prom pity
at 2:30 p. N.
The following are the players and their
DositiODs:

He Is REFORMED.
Prominent Cloud County Farmer at the
Carey.

Mr.. James Englehart is one Of the lead
ing farmers of Cloud county and was in
the city yesterday transacting business
He was formerly one of the foremost Re-
publican leaders of the county, but later
went into tine Alliance. He was at the
Carey yesterday, and to an EAGLE re-
porter said: My neighbOrs and l organ
lied an Alliance lodge during the Alliance
epidemic, and after several months ex-
perience We gave up our charter and dis
banded During the existence of our
lodge we were frequently visited by lee
turers sent around to educate the Alliance
farmers in the way out OF debt and how
to crush out monopolies, and that it was
our duty 10 stand together upon all ques-
tions affecting the interests of farmers
and to follow our leaders against the Re-
publican party. The great majority OF
our lecturers were not practical farmers.
In fact many Of them had not done days
work upon farm. and had not, therefore
been bowling success at anything they
had followed
II am sorry to say that the sub-treasury
scheme had more to do in driving our
farmers into the Alliance organization
than anything else, because 1t held out the
hope that we could obtain money from the
government upon real estate aud farm
products at per cent. l am sorry to say
this, because it was a money consideration
based upon nothing, which if carried out,
would eventually bring disaster upon all
classes of our people. The second bait that
caught our farmers was the war they
made upon monopolies and yet, strange to
say, our organization was not year old
when all kinds of schemes were Matched to
induce farmers TO organize a monopoly
upon everything they could control.
These, with a number of other things, got
me disguised with the whole thing, as it
did with hundreds Of other farmers /
have just paid 81 800 to the mortgage
company to lift the mortgage off my farm,
which is one of the best in the state, and
am contented to let the old parties live
and again vote for honest men.

IT WAS VERY FINE.

The Kellogg Concert company delighted
large audience last night at the Presby-
terrain church. The Kellogg Concert COM
pany came here with the most flattering
reputation, and they fully sustained 1t.
Those who were present pronounce IL one
of the rarest treats they had ever wit
messed The warbling solo by Mr.. Kellogg
himself was simply wonderful, and the
audience was so delighted with it that
five hundred hands kept elapping until he
had to repeat it. The soprano solo by
Miss Devine was simply Devine," as one
gentleman who heard it put it. Perry
Bros, in their sleigh-bell solo and in their
hand-bell solo, were great, and not only
sustained the reputation that accompan-
led them here but added to it. The entire
program from beginning to end was
splendid, and not soul left the house
who would willingly have missed the
treat if it cost double the money.

A "REMINISCENCES.

A writer in the Salt Lake Tribune, we
can't guess who, in Delightfully."- worded
and dreamy "reminiscences entitled BE
tween the Acts, draws the following pic
ture which will be recognized by Wichita
residents OF the cowboy days:
my boyhood's home was in a meager
prairie frontier town. There was little
town hall on the second floor of the only
brick building in the village Here the
followers of Thespis disported themselves
occasionally, for which the Inhabitants
paid the, TO me then, fabulous sum OF 30
cents for general admission; few people
whom | thought must be rolling in wealth
bought reserv- seats at % cents each.
These were labeled taken" at each per-
formance. The hall was called Eagle hall,
why don't know Perhaps because in =
little office in the rear there was published
n weekly paper called the EAGLE. Eagle
nall has long siuce disappeared. but the
paper, the EAGLE, has grown until 1t IS a
large daily owning an immense building
OF is own. Even the village has gaown 10
be a great city.
