IT'S Ever Thus.


In the somber glow Of autumn,
Now the champion baseball nine,
With the prestige of the pennant,
Feeling wondrous great and fine,
HES it forth unto the suburbs
In the pride of all its fame;
And it's then great crowds assemble
For an exhibition game.
And they see the lofty champions,
Though they play with skill and spunk
Beaten l. to-
By the Eagles Of Podunk.

CONCERT NOV. 90.

The Philharmonic Club concert that will
take place next week will surpass any
thing of its kind ever given in Wichita.
The club is known everywhere as the finest
performers of what is called chamber
music" in the country. OF Mr.. Weiner,
the New York Herald says:
"Mr. Weiner is the best flute-player that
has been heard in New York for many
years. Madame lima di Murska's Hun
gariau Pastoral Song" with flute obi
cato by Mr.. Z. Weiner, was likewise one
of the musical gems that was warmly APP
preciated. Mr.. Weiner is an artist hutist.
He has fine embouchure. plays with re-
markable delicacy and grace, and both as
a soloist and accompanist shows good taste
and culture in the management of an in
strument that requires unusual excellence
to make popular"
Miss Marion Weed, the vocal soloist
made decidedly favorable impression,
both by her charming manner and her no
BILE style OF singing. She has pure con-
tralto voice of great range, and sings with
artistic style, good method, and fine de-
gree of power. In the song with the flute
obligato, in which Mr. Weiner sustained
the latter part, she was exceedingly grace
full, and for a hearty encore sang Robin, "
by Neidlinger. She was also encored at
her second appearance, and sang "'Twas
April" by Nevin.
Choice reserved seats at so, as cents
and 81 can now be obtained at 200 n. Main

GROWTH By ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Professor Bailey's Experiments on Leaf
Plants, Spinach, Etc.
At the Cornell experiment station,
Ithaca, N. Y, In the winter of 1SS9-90. q
forcing house was divided into two COM

partments. and one was treated to ordi-
nary conditions-sunlight by day and
darkness by highland the other sunlight
by day and electric light by night. In this
house numerous experiments were made
to note the effect of the electric light on
plant growth.
In a report made in the american Gar
den. to which thanks are due for the cuts
here presented, it is told that the
general effect of the naked electric light
was to greatly hasten maturity. and the
nearer the plants grew to the light the
greater the scceleration. This tendency
was particularly marked in the leaf
plants-endive, spinach, cress and let
tuce. The plants iran to seed before

PLAcERvILLE, CAL, Dec 13.-Hon. George
G. Blanchard died at his home in this city
at 8 o'clock, after an illness of short dura-
ton. His death was the direct result of
pneumonia. He returned here from San
Francisco Tuesday last complaining of
severe cold, but attended to business until
Thursday afternoon. when he was taken
with congestive chill and removed
to his home, where symptoms of pneu-
monia, speedily succeeded by those of vir-
ulent uramia, developed.
His death is generally deplored here IS
a great loss. He was one of the oldest
pioneer residents, having arrived in this
city in 40. He was the oldest practitioner
at the FL Dorado bar, of which he has been
an active member since 1855. His reputa-
ton extends through the state, not only
as lawyer, but one of the stalwart leaders
of the Republican party. In the last cam
paign he was a candidate for congress
in the Second congressional district and
was nearly successful, though the district
Democratic. He leaves a wife and two
sons, one OF whom is George A. Blanchard,
OF Sacramento, and he leaves also mar

NO IMPORTANT WORK.
Little Legislative Work Until
After New Year.
TURPlE's SENATORIAL SPEECH.
Stewart VIII Probably Talk on silver
Crisp Working Hard on His Com
mfttes Appointments.

WASHINGTON CRY. Dec. $50 far as
actual legislative business is concerned, 1t
is probable that the present week in con-
gress will be devoid of feature or interest.
1t has come to be generally understood
that while the time before the holiday re-
cess in q long session may be employed IN
perfecting an organization of the two
branches of congress, little can be at
tempted with profit in the line OF leglsla-
ton. Many senators and representatives,
assuming that the recess will begin before
the end of the week, have already made
arrangements to leave Washington City
in q few days.
Unless unforeseen difficulties are en-
countered the, reorganization Of commit
tees will be completed Monday or Tues
day, but there are no expectations that
they will undertake any important work
during the week.
The introduction of bills and resolutions
not presented in the rdsh OF last week, q
speech by Senator Turpie On the subject
of the election of senators by direct vote
Of the people and one by Senator Stewart
on free silver coinage, together with such
responses as they may elicit, will prob
ably compose the record Of the week In the
Senate
The House will not meet until Wednes-
day, and, after brief session, will prob
ably adjourn with an understanding that
on the day of re-assemblage it vii! adjourn
for the customary Christmas recess.
A proposition has been preached that
congress adjourn Friday, December Is, to
Monday, January 4. 1t is believed in the
absence committee organization that moth
ing can be accomplished by continuing
nominal sessions of the House into the
following week before taking the usual
recess.
The speaker has been industriously en-
gagged in work preliminary TO the appoint
ment of committees, but the experience of
the past warrants the belief that it will
be found impracticable to complete them
in time for an announcement before the
new year.
The committee on rules may be an
nounced during the coming week in order
that its members may proceed to formu-
late rules for the Fifty-second House and
submit them for its consideration i'm
mediately upon re-assembling after the
holidays.

NEWS FROM ABERDEEN.
Petty Thieves at work-The Schooner
Falcon All Safe.

ABERDEEN, Dec. 13.-[Special.1 AT 8
O'Clock last night thieves took six bolts of
valuable cloth from Gus Leases tailor
shop. A little later Ejchner Bros missed
several pairs of rubber boots from their
store. Leese did not know his loss till
morning. Five hobos arrived in town
yesterday noon. Deputy Sheriff Hennes-
sey recognized them as old offenders, and
jailed them last night. 1t is thought that
they are the thieves.
The schooner Falcon, that lost her
anchors in Mondays gale and went on the
mud fats inside of Gray's harbor near the
bar, sailed off yesterday at high tide, after
taking out her ballast and cargo. She was
not harmed, except a few lengths OF copper
sheathing lost of the bottom. She leaks
a little, but will load lumber for San

trio light has a damaging influence
upon the plants near it, electric light pro-
notes assimilation; il often hastens
growth and maturity; it is capable of
producing natural davors and colors in
fruits; il often intensiiies colors of How
ers and sometimes increases the produc-
ton of flowers, and that periods of dark
ness are not necessary TO the growth and
development of plants. Professor Bailey
believes il is only necessary 10 overcome
the difficulties, the chief of which are the
injurious influences upon plants near the
light the too rapid Fastening of maturity
in some, and, in short, the whole series of
practical adjustments of conditions to in

French experimental, says that the
injurious rays from the electric
hight are greatly modified by q transpar-
ent glass. Professor Kailey's experi-
ments with an electric lamp, protected bv
an ordinary white opal globe, gave re-
suits much less marked than Thar of the

effects were lessened by the use of the
globe. Lettuce was greatly benefited by

A Premeditated Tragedy.

MOUNT OLIVE, ILL.,, Dec. 13.-Yesterday
John Miller, aged IS, during the absence
of his wife, became intoxicated On her
return he threatened her life. She ran
out of the house, but he followed and fired
a bullet clear through her body. He then
committed suicide, Mrs. MiIler's wound
is thought to be fatal. The tragedy was
evidently premeditated, as few days ago
Miller settled up all his business affairs.
