BLIND TOM.

BLIND ION.
That wonderful human puzzle and
musical prodigy, Blind Tom, gave his
initial concert Of the present series, at
Garfield hall last evening under the
auspices of Company a, Light Infantry.
No description can convey to anyone cor
rect idea Of this wonderful being a idiot
in everything but music, his playing Is
that of a master and he seems gifted with
some supernatural power while sitting at
the piano. His touch is skillfUl aud his
execution astonishingly wonderful, and
when it is taken into consideration that he
knows nothing of the science OF music the
question arises. chow does he do it."
Asa test Of his initiative powers ia piece
was PLAYED by a lady from the audience
and Tom sat down and played the same
piece over although it was positively
known that he had never heard it before.
Tonight he makes his last appearance,
when an entire change OF program Will be
given Among the musical numbers on
the program for this evening are the
Sonata O, 81 Beethoven, RigOletto-Liszt,
The Last HOpe-Gottschalk, imitation OF
church organ and violin, etc. As this
concert Is given for the benefit Of the
Wichita Light Infantry, who are trying
10 raise the necessary funds with which
to purchase dress suits, they ask your
patronage. Street cars for all parts Of the
city will be in waiting at the close Of the
performance.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.

The receipts of hogs at the stock yards
for the week were II ,29O, an increase over
last week OF 3,17L The average receipts
per day were !, s4S. and Wednesdays were
the largest, being ESQ. Local packers
bought and killed 1859. while outside
packers purchased the bulk of the remain
ing 4,23l.
The most notable feature of the hog
market this week, and for part of last
week, has been its entire independence of
eastern markets as regards prices. On
several days, while prices were unsteady
or declining at Chicago and Kansas City,
here there was either an advance or the
market remained steady. Another encour-
aging feature is the unusual number of
shippers bringing their stock to this mar
ket, who have heretofore been in the habit
of sending it to more distant points
The cattle receipts were 6S1, against 344
last week. The market was much more
active this week than for the two or three
previous ones. on account of the better
grades of stock received. The business Of
the yards for this week, both in the cattle
and hog lines, shows more conclusively
than any previous one that the market Is
rapidly developing into one of prominence,
and one which will be of the greatest ben
eft to the hog raisers to the west and
south of US, as the hogs viii be bought
and butchered here, and the additional
freight charges to eastern markets thus
saved TO producer and consumer.

GREEK CONCERT.

The concert and Greek Tableaux at the
Y. NJ. C. A. building was greeted with
larger audience last evening than was the
first performance. Standing room was at
premium.
The first part of the program was entire
Iv changed but was as well or better
rendered than the first concert. Especially
was this true of the younger persons who
took part in the program.
The singing was up to the high standard
usually expected by a Wichita audience
of home people aud no one was disap-
pointed. Several encores were given
different members and the appreciatiye
audience were very enthusiastic.
The tableaux were more effective than
on the first presenta ton, by reason of all
gas light being shut off and only the cal
cium light used. The managers of this
novel entertainment can feel proud of the
successful presentation Of these beautiful

AN UNDEsIRABLE OFFICE.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
Why should any man seek the Office Of
alderman? Not for the honor, If he has
given the matter any careful considera-
ton, for the tax on ones time, the care on
ones mind, the impossibility of meeting
public expectation and the exation Of
spirit pertaining thereto, and out OF all
proportion to the modicum of honor one
may win by the appreciation Of his con-
stituents in fidelity to the interests COM
mitted to his care Not for the material
remuneration, for that Is a net minus
quantity. Not to gain prestige in, or to
advertise his private vocation, for ex-
perience in observation Of men who have
filled the position does not justify any
such expectation. Then why 90 men
seek this office-working with might and
main to get it? Either through igno-
rance or d misrepresentation Of the
duties and work pertaining to the
office a desire for cheap Eotoriety,
or a desire and purpose to prostitute the
Office for private gain and selfish local
interests. Every man VINO accepts thls
Office with pure motives and honest pur-
pose. does so from the sense of duty and
public spirit which actuates him in de-
sire to see public affairs properly admins
tered; and he must be satisfied, If needs be,
with the approval of his own conscious
ness of rectitude and fidelity.
There are not many footprints on the
sands of time, of councilmen who have
won honor or meritoriOus distinction in
office, and public sentiment is largely re
sponsible therefor. il a desire to not have
this Office is one of the leading uualiica-
lions for the position, then there are many
good citizens who possess this qualitca-
ton. Amy man who accepts this office
with honest purposes, does 50 at a personal
sacrifice of time and attention. VI.

THE EPICOPALIANs.


To the Editor OF the Eagle
The meeting of the S. w Convocation
of the Episcopal church in Winfield, last
Wednesday and Thursday, under the
direction of Dean Rhames, rector of St.
Johns church of this city, showed that
both the church and laity Of the district
are alive to the interests of the church.
There was a good attendance at all the ser
vices on both days. Rev. Benz. Hartley,
general missionary of the convocation,
preached the opening sermon from the
text, "For the Things which are Seen are
Temporal; but the Things which are Tn
seen are Eternal" He dwelt on the inn
portance of considering the church and her
work in a spiritual and eternal light. This
is truer. high churchism than form and
ceremony.
The Rev. Dr. Beatty, one Of the Oldest
clergymen of the church in the state and
well known in the national conventions,
conducted the services and delivered an
address to the clergy. This was prepared
and enjoyed as a pre-lentin devotional
exercise by the clergy. On evening Of the
first day the subject of Public Christian
Worship was discussed. There were four
Speakers. III. ItstlNy OpChNA va hA4S pSAA
eral Duty of Public Worship. Dean
Rhames dwelt on the Sacrament of the
Lords Supper as the distinctive act of
Christian worship. Rev. Hartley made a
strong appeal for the better observance OF
Sunday and Rev. w. Howard discussed
the excuses men offer 70. the neglect OF
church service.
Dean Rhames preached at the opening
service of the second day on THE Attitude
of Faith" from st. Luke 1853 The
text is a parable which the Dean inter
preted as Our Lords answer 10 faith,
troubled bv the intellectual, religious and
moral changes that are necessary IN pro
rressive world. The afternoon OF the
second dav was devoted 10 an open dis
cussion Of our Sunday schools. Rev.
Howard opened with an able paper. Near
lv every one present had something TO say
and so the convocation closed, all feeling
that il was "A success and had place in
the church work of the southwestern part
OF this great diocese.
At the business meeting tho following
bylaw was unanimously adopted: Al
baptized members of this church shall be
entitled TO sit as delegates OF any eccles-
iaStical or parochial organization repre-

A CORRECTION.

A statement appeared in yesterday
mornings EAGLE respecting the meetings
at the Nay1ower Congregational church
which is erroneous IN nearly every
particular:
We have had interesting and profitable
meetings, but no large number profeSsed
conversion. We have had no outside
help with the exception OF one evening,
when Rev NcCrecry OF this city assisted.
The most important correction 10 be made,
however, is in regard to the closing Of the
meetings. The meetings have not closed,
but viii continue next week. and probably
for several weeks longer. The report IN
Yesterdays EAGLE was given without any
authority whatever W. !. MARSH,
