All, my friends. there in an hour COM

An, my friends. there in an hour COM
ing when our past life will probably
pass before us in review. 1t will be our
last hour. Ii from our dcath-pillow we
have to look blcE and see life spent
III sinful amusement, there will bo a
dart that will strike through our soul
sharper than the dagger with whicl,
Viroinius slew his child. The memory
OF the past will rllkc US quake like
Macbeth. The iniqujiics and rioting
through which we have passed will
come upon us, weird an skeleton as
Meg Mcrrlics. Death, the old Shylock
will demand, and take, The remaining
pound Of flesh, and the remaining tr0l
ot blood; and upon our last opportu-
nifty for repentance, and our last chance
or heaven, the curtain will ,orcv CT
drop.

A BOLD BAD TRAMP.

Six tramps were fired off the blind bag
gage of the Missouri Pacific train at the
corner of Third and Wichita streets last
night. They were on their way east and
had succeeded in travelling from Hutchin-
son before the train crew got onto them
Later one of them knocked at the home of
a colored family on Wichita street and
compelled the woman OF the house, who
was alone, to dish him up enough pie and
other edibles TO last him for week.
They were all hard looking tramps and
belong to what is known as the buns, ="
for tramps as well as all other classes of
society are graded into three or four
classes, and it is very seldom that the
tourist who is the genuine tramp. will
associate with the lower STRATUM Of the
fraternity.

MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.

The musical entertainment Tuesday
evening at the Lincoln Street Presbyter-
ian church was fairly we'll attended. Prof
Sickner's skill as musician was fully
demonstrated by the exquisite rendering
of the beautiful selections he favored the
audience with. Mr.. Waldeu's and Mr..
Hagin's solos, and Mrs. MCCoy's and Mrs
Hagin's duet, each accompanied with
organ, were well received and in fact the
whole program as given, surpassed the ex-
pectations of all present.
The work of art representing Bethle-
hem as it appeared when Jesus was born,
with all it's romantic surroundings, faith
fully portrayed that grand and most i'm
portant event Of creation, was admired by
every one, and will be photographed, ano

A sTABBING AFFRAY.
William Bufhngicn Uses His Knife on JOIN
Finley With Probable Fatal Result.

At noon Yesterday stabbing affray took
place at the Occidental hotel, which will
probably result in the death of John r.
Finley. colored dish-washer employed at
the hotel. The circumstances are as fol-
lows: John Finley made some egg nog in
the kitchen and he invited everybody TO
drink some but Burlington, who is also
colored and table waiter by occupation.
All the employees OF the kitchen began
teasing Burlington because he was not in
vited TO ioin in disposing of the egg-nog.
Finley. who has very cutting and sar
castle tongue in his head, Joined in teasing
Burlington and so provoked him that he
began firing dishes at Finley. This led to
oDen hostilities on both sides and Finley
was giving the worst OF it to Burlington
when the latter drew knife and plunged
it into the back OF Finley. Finley turned
around and as he did so Burlington
plunged the knife into him again and cut
the muscles of his arm pretty badly.
Burlington, seeing what he had done,
jerked off his apron, dashed out the back
door, fed for parts unknown and
has not been seen since although
the officers are searching every nook
wounded man leisurely walked out, step
ped into Harry Piper's cigar store. observ-
ed that he was cut pretty badly, bought
cigar and lit it very coolly, and then went
to the Office of Drs Van Mugs and For
dyce for treatment. DR.. Van Nuys exam
ined him and found that the knife pene-
trated completely through the back, as
the victim had violent hemorrhages. The
wound was soon dressed and the hemor-
rhages were stopped, but they may set in
again at any time and kill him. DR.. Van
Nuys himself has no very strong hopes OF
his recovery. An EAGLE reporter called at
No. 1856 North Water street last night,
where the wounded man was, and found
him very sore, although he treated the
matter lightly. He didn't care to talk on
the subject to any great extent, fact
which leads one to believe that Burlington
was not altogether at fault. He is rather
a smart colored man and his friends say
that he can speak three or four foreign
languages fiuently. He was formerly en-
gagged in the minstrel business

CouNTERFEIT MONEY.

Merchants should keep their eyes peeled
for counterfeit money. Yesterday North
Main street grocery man was handed =
bill which had been raised to ten by the
figure two being scratched of, and figure
ten put in its place by some process OF
bronzing. The grocery man didn't see
anything wrong with the figure ten, as he
did not scrutinize it closely, but he saw
the portrait of General Hancock on the
bill and he knew then that there was some
thing wrong, and be looked more closely
at it. AS none of his clerks were in the
store at the time he could not call the
police in time to arrest the man who at
tempted to pass the bogus bill

WENT UP THE WRONG STAIRS.

A young couple from Sumner county
were in the city yesterday and wanted to
get married by a certain justice of the
peace. They were directed to his court,
but they missed the stairway and went up
into the Office of neighboring lawyer,
who was entertaining lot Of his friends
with some choice stories which he had
heard Cd a recent trip. The lawyer and
his friends suspected at once what the
young couple wanted, and took advantage
of the blunder they made. Are you the
justice said the timid candidate for mat
rimony Il am that same" said the law
yer. The young man then told him his
mission, and the lawyer stood the couple
in the middle of the floor and the mystic
words that didn't tie were uttered. 1T is
the custom in my court" said the lawyer,
''for the justice to kiss the bride first,
and after the bride and groom exchanging
looks the bride turned up a pair of straw
berry lips, but the lawyer didn't have the
nerve to plant kiss on them. The groom
didn't propose that his wife should be dis
appointed and sealed the bogus contract
with a ''yum-yum" that sounded through
out the room and made the framed sheep
skin of the lawyer rattle on the wall The
groom paid the lawyer s.. 50 and he and
his bride were half way down the stairs,
as happy as pair of turtle doXes. when
the lawyer called them back, refunded the
money and told them that the whole thing
was joke. This made the groom hot and
be was about TO whale the jocular disciple
of Blackstone, when the bride prevented
