To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Our missionaries tell US in China there
are days when women are not permitted
to attend theater for the reason that the
language used is obscene and the play i'm
moral When we hear the story we fiat
ter ourselves that we are so much more
civilized, modest and refined.
But are we? When at our great Kansas
fair an exhibition is allowed under the
ampitheater for men and boys only. There
are number of darkeys who sing and
draw a crowd and all week long the show
is open to educate men, to what? 10
purity of thought? No; the exhibition
must be immOde,t or improper IN some
way or there would be no reason for eX-
Guiding the women.
1t must be discouraging to ministers
and church-going people to have such an
influence in their midst as this same com
pauy have been dra wing crowds to their
doors on Market street.
Is il right for respectable men of fami.
lies, who are members of the Fair associa-
tion or of the council, to permit such an
exhibition?
If there are any scientific truths to be
thought let it be done in the right manner
and by pure, upright people, for it Is just
AS essential TO the uplifting of humanity
that boys be taught culture and refine
ment as it is to teach culture aud refine
ment to girls How can a coarse, vulgar
boy ever make a genteel, modest husband
or father?
So it is earnestly hoped for the welfare
of our boys and of society in general that
all such demoralizing places be closed in
the future.
I'VE are happy TO inform our lady critic
that For Men Only" was only a catch.
The exhibition consisted of limestone
formation, as we are Informed, and was
in no way vulgar or immorall

The members of the Coronado club held

speaking, the club is in splendid condition
and the entertainments that proved to be
so popular last year will be resumed be-
fore the present month closes. The pres

UNITEp STATES COURT.

The Clyde MattoX murder case is still
going on in the federal court and it IS
probable that it viii not reach the jury
before this evening and then there will be
only one day left for the jury to decide it
as the court will adjourn Friday. Judge
Riner is doing all in his power to rush the
case through, with due regard, OF course,
for justice and fair play. II IS hard mat
ter yet to predict the result, as all the testi-
mony is not yet in, but the court officers
say that the testimony is very strong and
that he can count himself an exceedingly
lucky man If he is acquitted. His sttor-
neys are making strong defense, and it
will not be their fault if he is not aoquit-
ted.
All the other cases have been postponed
till the March term.

TIE END OF THE FAIR.

No attempt was made yesterday to carry
out the race program AT the fair grounds.
The association could not successfully
buck against the elements and had to
throw up their hands at last, after .
manful effort to do what they promised to
do in the line of giving the people the best
races ever attempted to be given in the
state. The association is now paying of
the premiums offered and viii continue to
do so rs long as their financial resources
hold out or until every one of their obiga-
tions is paid By the rigid economy prsc-
ticed the shortage will be much less than
anticipated and. considering the inclem-
ency of the weather, they are compare
lively well satisfied that the result has
been no worse than what it is. Mr.. Will
son says he received greater amount of
money for the privileges which came
directly under his supervision than was
received from similar privileges at the
state fair this year

AN AFTER MIDNIGHT ROBBERY.
Reno County Man Meets Two Oolored Women
and Misses HIS Poeketbook.

The two colored girls who are accused ol
robbing a man named Pallet, of Reno
county, at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, will be tried today. and the officers are
in hopes of being able TO put them behind
the bars until they shall have atoned for
the crime which it is alleged they have
committed. They are the same colored
girls who were accused OF robbing the hot
tamale man of $40 few weeks ago.
Pallet, the victim of yesterday mornings
escapade, is Reno county stock man who
had been here to take in the races About
l o'clock yesterday morning he was over
taken on West Douglas avenue by the two
! colored damsels in question and immedi-
ately they struck up an acquaintance,
or at least the female portion of
the trio did. They stopped to exchange
adiu's at the alley near the Baldwin
restaurant and when the women had left
Pallet also found TO his sorrow that his
purse containing sos was gone. He hast
ened to police headquarters and Officers
Harmon and Dennis were detailed to look
after the matter.
Officer Harmon remembered seeing two
colored girls named Annie Anderson and
Matt Smith lettering in the street in the
neighborhood where the robbery was COM
mitted short time before, and knowing
their haunts he went after them, accom-
panied by Officer Dennis, and made the
arrest. No money was found in their
possession and they stoutly denied their
guilt. When they were brought to the
station house Pallet recognized them as
the women who were with him when he
missed his money.
They were to have been tried yesterday,
but the officers thought they showed a
disposition to confess their crime and
return the money and they accordingly
postponed the hearing of their case till
this afternoon. In the meantime they are
reposing in the females cell in the county
bastile
