4 RECITAL.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The evolutionary recital given by Miss
Blanche Smith. assisted by her pupils and
friends, last Wednesday evening at the
Dodge Avenue NJ. T.. church, deserves
more than passing notice.
They were greeted by well filled house
of appreciative hearers, and, although the
program was lengthy, every number was
very creditable and greeted with hearty
applause.
The solos by Mrs L. c. Jackson and
Miss Finch were choice selections finely
rendered and were well received.
The Owl club sang in their usual happy
style.
gesticulated, sat down among the
daisies, patted Rover on the head
laughed and cried with all the simplicity
naturalness and grace of a little girl in
real life. In short, her recital could
scarcely have been better rendered.
Minnie Dewey presented few impress
sive pictures I'm Lies Lessons" in a way
to strongly impress and please her hearers.
Maggie Dorsey rendered with ease and
grace in pleasing style, story called
sin School Days"
Mabel Millison. in her recital of "The
Day of Judgment" delighted her audience
IN her mlmlcry IN gesture, voice anu pro
nunciation, in the laughing and CRYING of
the principal characters of the story.
The Little Fairies" in pantomime were
charming; their every motion was easy,
natural and graceful.
The part of the program that was new
est TO Wichita audience was the Delsarte
aesthetic drill rendered by some of the
young ladies Of the class. This showed a
wonderful cultivation of memory and a
rare development of grace and ease. The
classic Greek costumes, the youth and
beauty of the performers and their express
i've postures given in perfect unison with
the music made combination not soon to
be forgotten. and displayed the superior
skill Of their teacher as drill master.
In Miss Smith Wichita has young
artist of whom she may we'll be proud.
She displayed, on Wednesday evening. 10
the delight of her audience, the versatility
of her talent, the pieces rendered contain
ing the several qualities Of wit, humor
pathos and tragedy-and they had the adj
dtional merit of all being new.
She has a personality which strlklngly
influences her pupils, and yet which is
never seen in her impersonations, a, like
the true artist, she completely loses her
self in the character assumed. Her power
of facial expression IS remarkably devel-
oped she has caught the very poetry OF
motion, and the knowledge OF human IA
ture and the sympathy with it which she
certainly must have, make her really a
master IN her profession.

DRUMMERS' CONVENTION.

Quite crowd stood in front of Biting
Bros show window most of last evening
looking at the crowd of delegates to the
drummers' convention which have taken
possession and are making an onslaught
upon the terrified merchant. The poor,
worried man of business sees no hope OF
escape from the eager mob who are impor-
tuning him with their cards and persuas-
i've looks, and simply throws up his hands
in despair One of the gang does not stop
to present card, but intent on sale.

his samples.
Mr. Charles Biting is the designer of
the group, and he certainly has made a
happy hit. The delegates will hold their
session in the window today, but will ad-
journ tonight to participate in the coming
festivities

The meeting was called to order in the
morning by the president. There was
large attendance, and manifested signs of
enthusiasm and great interests. The reg
ular order Of business was taken Up and
after the business of the society was con-
cluded the society resolved itself into the
section on medicine. paper on Bron-
chitis was read by DR.. Theo. W. Peers, of
Topeka, and provoked considerable
discussion. A paper On Spinal
Irritation, with case, by DR.. ]. W. Nc
Cracker, of Sterling, proved Of great inter
est. Another very interesting paper was
read on "Astigmatism" by DR.. c. Klippel,
of Hutchinson, which elected considera-
bic discussion. This paper was originally
intended to be read in the section on "Op-
thamology," but was transferred to the
section on Medicine" for various reasons.
The section on "Gynecology" was taken
up by the reading and discussion
of a paper by DR.. P. Daugherty
on ORGANIZATIONS of the o." Last
evening DR.. Weiswanger, representing
the Mcintosh Battery company, of Chi

Last night the physicians fittingly closed
the meeting with banquet at the Carey
hotel The doors of the spacious and
beautifully decorated room were thrown
open at 10 o'clock, and to the strains OF
music by Shaw's orchestra, the physicians
and their invited friends marched into the
hall, arranging themselves along the nu-
merous rows of tables heavily laden with
the most alluring delicacies obtainable.
After saying grace the assemblage were
seated and partook of the dose which mad
been prescribed them by their hosts.
Never was a prescription more readily
taken or more eagerly devoured by dis
eased multitude. For once every patient
obeyed the orders of the prescription TO a
dot. Shaw's orchestra enliVened the occa-
sion with some of their choicest selections.

A CITY OF RUNAWAY HORSES.
Dangerous Character of a Stroll in Bangor
The Will Maine Colt.

Dangerous Character of a Stroll in Bangor
The Will Maine Colt.
The report of the statisticians that
more lives are lost in the United
States every year through runaways
than by railroad disasters will be
readily believed by Maine people, for
in that state the runaway horse often
causes more fatalities in single
month than can be laid to the railroads
for the entire year Almost every
other man in Maine owns a horse of
some kind, but only small proportion
of the owners are hOrSemen, and the
horses for the most part are wild,
unframed lot, easily frightened by the
breaking Of breeding, tug or
whiffletree, or by any OF the numer-
Gus little accidents that are liable to
occur at any time. Thousands of fine
colts are raised in Maine, but few of
them are properly broken, with the
result that the state is filled with I'M
manageable, dangerous horses.
Bangor has long been noted for the
runaways that occur almost daily i'll
it's streets, and so pronounced has the
nuisance become that in certain local
titles pedestrians are in more danger
than they would be in crossing West
street or Broadway in New York
Bangor is the center of a large farm
ing district, and hundreds of I'M
trained colts and green horses come
into the city every day from the sur
rounding country. At this season of
the year several hundred farmers
teams are daily huddled together in
the open market places Of Pickering
and Haymarket squares, and when a
runaway occurs there the results are
disastrous. The principal streets of
the city are traversed by an electric
railroad, and the cars on the line,
with their peculiar noise and occa-
sional emission of sparks, are the pct
aversion of the country horses.
1t is no unusual thing to see horse
or a pair of horses, attached to a
heavy cart, 60 tearing along one of
the crowded business streets, wreck
ing carriages and knocking down pc
destrians in their path, and perhaps
finally taking to the sidewalk and
crashing through the front of shop.
Four and five runaWays frequently
occur in a single day and the exciting
events are a fruitful source of items
for the local newspapers. Occasion
ally human life is sacrificed. Within
a year two of the most eminent
lawyers of the city, the Hon. Lewis
Barker and eX-Judge James Z. Raw
son, have met their death in the
streets from runaway horses, and
matters have reached such stage
that a promenade in a saw-mill is a
safe undertaking compared with q
stroll in Bangor's business streets.

Ride and Tie.

ride and tie" is an old Salem say
ing. Two men would start out on a
journey with one horse. One would
ride a specified distance, then, dis
mounting and tying the horse, he
would walk on to the next changing
place, where he would find the horse
tied and waiting for him, having been
ridden there by the man who started
out afoot. And so the whole dis
lance would be traversed, each one
riding and walking in turn. The
item "Ride and tie and go to Boston"
is found in an old account book, at a
charge of "four and siXpence.

The PIG in China.

Chinese life is a perpetual surprise.
Mans most faithful fOur-fOOted friend,
the dog, is relegated to the outcast
world and his place filled with the
more edible pig. Under these aus
pieces, the dog reverts to the ancestral
wolf, and is hardly distinguishable
from that disagreeable brute, while
the hog becomes distinguished
member Of society. Every Chinese
pOrker has name, and answers it,
especially when called to meals, as
promptly and knowingly as a we'll
trained watchdog. He lives with the
family, and sleeps either on the foot
of his owners bed or else in the baby's
crib. After breakfasting en- famille,
he sets off on a constitutional walk
through the city and suburbs. He
makes calls upon other pigs of equal
social standing, inVades and robs every
garden whose gate may be open, and
usually refreshes himself by walk in
the surf on the beach, where he
whets his appetite with dozen
oysters on the whole shell and few
defunct fishes.

Moose and LOcomoti

On Sunday, July 18th, as a Short
train of fiat cars was running up tbs
Duluth and Winnipeg Road into
Itasca County, Mimi, for a load of
cedar poles, a large moose was dis
covered near the track. In an in
slant he fled ahead of the train along
the old tote path used by Indians
and wOodsmen before the railway
was built. The path is close to the
car track, and at this point, about
fifty miles from Duluth, is parallel
with it, passing over the dead level
divide between the Mississippi River
and the Great Lakes.
AS there are no regular trains on
Sunday, the engineer had clear
field, and determined to show the
moose how to run. The iron horse
snorted and bounded along over his
track ofsteel, while all on board intent
ly watched the race, cheering alike
the engine and the moose. 1t was a
four-mile straight-away run, but in
the excitement no one registered the
time.
Thrice the moose faltered as the
path led over deep ravines spanned
only by rude and rickety low bridges,
but as the train thundered close upon
him, he each time plunged ahead to
increase again the distance between
himself and his heartless pursuer.
His gait was an indescribable trot,
such as only the moose can exhibit;
his hind feet tanning his ears, his
tongue lolling from his mouth, every
muscle in his body moving, while his
PAGES were apparently two rods in
length. At first it was only little
jog, but as the engine began to do it's
best the moose let himself out knot
at time, and all the mysterious
power of steam could not prevail
against this monarch of the forest.
Faster and faster sped the engine,
but still the frightened moose trotted
in the van, letting out his tongue an
other link, and adding a knot, as it
was needed, to his gait. But when
four miles had thus been traversed,
the contestants came upon clearing
where men were gathered.
Thus driven from his pathway, and
forced to abandon what seemed a
playful pastime, the moose dashed
across the track several rods in front
Of the engine and moment later,
without awaiting the award Of his
Well-earned laarels, was lost to sight
in the forest.
