MISSIONARY DAY.

Under the present administration the
| South Emporia avenue NJ. E. church has
gained a reputation for keeping at
the head of the procession in everything
they undertake TO do, and they are not
nowadays doing things by halves. Their
way of doing business and conducting
their financial affairs is in keeping with
the spiritual thermometer of the church,
aud their hberality in paying is in line
with their zeal for praying.
Last Sunday was Missionary Day at this
church, and the services, appropriate to
the occasion, were marked with the same
interest and success that characterize all
their doings. At IL O'Clock a. IN. Rev. c.
S. Nusbaum. the pastor, preached one of
his best sermons on the missionary cause,
after which a liberal collection was taken
for this cause.
In the evening, instead of the usual ser
mon and exercises, an interesting mission
ary program was rendered, in which the
following persons participated. Rev. c. S.
Nusbaum conducting the exercises:
After the opening song. an
opening prayer by Rev T. P.
Wooten, Anthem by the choir, address by
new "A y. Cmlthi solo Uy II. D. NaIueA'
paper on missions by Mrs. DR.. Kirkwood,
address by Joseph H. Lindsey, solo by ].
j. Fegtley, recitation by Miss Myrtle Hall,
appropriate select reading by Miss Mary
E. Randall, solo by Mrs. d. Smyth, clos
ing remarks by the pastor.
OF course the program would not be
complete without the usual collection for
such occasions. The amount required to
meet the churchs proportion for the mis-
sionary cause was $S5. The offerings for
the day, for this cause alone. besides the
usual contributions for the pastor and
other purposes, amounted to even $50.
And this was raised in few minutes, just
like an ordinary collection, without the
least urging, only mild" request from
the pastor.

PATRICK sARsFIELD GILMORE.

Gilmore's band has come and gone and
left pleasant memories among all lovers of
the sublime science of music. They gave
two concerts Sunday and each concert was
we'll attended The band itself was simply
superb. Professor O'Mahony is beauti-
full singer and was heartily encored every
time he appeared He sung Rocked in
the Crakle of the Deep in a manner that
captured the audience, and he richly de-
served the praise that followed Mons
Codio, the tenor, was sick and could not
possibly appear, which was great disap-
pointment to those who so much desired to
hear him sing. The Misses Schneelock
sung, and it was seen from the start that
they richly deserve the reputation that has
been again given them. They are ex-
quisite singers, indeed. and fully sustain
the measure of fame which the press and
public throughout the land have bestowed
upou them. Mr.. Gilmore himself is not
only a peerless band master. but a verita-
bic Chesterfield as well, and his popularity
has suffered nothing by coming to
Wichita. In his address he stated that his
band will consist of 100 pieces next year,
and that in his travels through the country
he will make IL a point to 6ll a date in
Wichita

KICKED BY a HORSE.

On Sunday afternoon painful accident
occurred to little 4-year-old child of Mr..
r. Seward, living three miles north of
here. 1t is another case that exemplifes
the saying that little children should not
be allowed to be near horses, be they ever
so gentle 1t appears that the little
daughter of Seward was leading horse
around the yard, when his little 4-year-old
boy slipped up behind the animal and cut
it sharp lick with little switch. This
was more than the horse bargained for,
and he let out with his heels, taking the
boy square in the face and knocking him
back good distance The accident was
witnessed by several people present, and
as soon as possible he was picked up, car
ried into the house and doctor called. 1t
was found that his jaw was badly broken
and otherwise sustained severe injuries.
1t is thought, however that he will re-

WORSE THAN rHE e.AssEIoPrEms

Frank S. Henry OF Cleveland is in tue
city looking after property interests here.
and he is hot because the people Of this
district don't send a petition to Jerry
Simpson, commanding him TO keep his
mouth shut. He heard Jerry make one of
his calamity speeches in the public square
at Cleveland. aud from beginning to end
it was one continual howl about the in
debtedness of Kansas and the adversely Of
her people. He said that 10 those who did
not know Kansas and her remarkable re-
sources it looked as if every man. woman
and child in the state was starving.
He, himself, on many occasions and in
various ways tried TO disabuse their minds
of this idea but they would come back At
him saying, II know 1t must be true for
Simpson says so and he represents those
people and he ought to know what he Is
about" He thinks that Jerry and Peffer
have done more TO injure the name and
reputation of this fair and bounseous
commonwealth since they hAye been elected
than the combined efforts of all the grass
hoppers aud cyclones that have visited the
state during the past twenty years.

1T Is A BOY.

W. T. Dando, the lightning compositor
of the EAGLE office, was the happiest man
in town yesterday over the arrival OF a
son and heir at his residence, of the regu-
lation Kansas size and weight Immedi-
ately upon the young gentleman's ar
rival Mr.. Dando created boom on the
cigar market and the composing room of
the EAGLE Office resembled a smoke house
all the afternoon. When Dan" looked
on the face of bis first born he saw at a
glance that he was a bright little fellow.
and has no doubt whatever but that the
day shall come when the boy will sit at
the head of the table in the cabinet room
of the White house. The mother is doing
splendidly; the boy is not only we'll, but
making himself heard in the world al
ready, and as for Mr.. Dando himself he is
getting along SO ''swimmingly" that the
foreman expects him to be able TO hold
down his case again in few days.

THE ECLIPSE.

The total eclipse of the moon was sue
cessfulIy observed on Sunday evening by
City Engineer Mulyey, through his fine
telescope AS the moon was totally
eclipsed when first seen at this place, only
the last two contracts were observed; that
of the end of totallity, aud the end OF
eclipse.
The coppery hue of the moon during the
total phase was markedly noticeable.
The question of why should the moon be
visible at all, during its total immersion
in the earth's shadow, Mr.. Mulvey
answers by saying the earth's atmosphere
refracts few of the suns rays sufficiently
to allow them to fall on the moons surface
thereby rendering it family illuminated.
When thus dimly lighted the rotund ap-
pearance showed up beautifully. This ap-
pearance is not seen when its surface Is
brightly Illuminated. Hundreds Of people
were out, although the evening was cold
to see the eclipse

An OLD-TIMER.

W. A. Richards, who founded the
Harper Sentinel some twelve or fourteen
years ago, and who then and for some time
after was lively factor politically. aud as
a newspaper man in that section of the
state, dropped in yesterday. He has been
located in New York city for the past
eleven years, during all of which time be
has not been back to Kansas, and in COM
pany with w. G. Brown Of Dallas he was
on his way down to Harper to renew old
acquaintance and have good time. Mr..
r says that the old Douglas avenue house
is about the only recognizable land mark
left for him in Wichita, and it was
splendid to hear him dilate on its wonder
ful transformation aud present solid make
up. 1t all seems like triumph Of en-
chantment He together with Mr.. B. is
travelling in the interest of the firm OF
which he is a partner, their line being

a DINNER PARTY.

Sunday afternoon Father Then gave
dinner to party OF friends, including
General Tim McCarty, department COM
mander OF the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie; Rev. Daniel Horgan. Professor Edward
O'Mahony of Gilmore's band, Thomas b.
Tobin and others. 1t was an elegant din
ner, too, consisting OF several courses, and
reflected a great deal Of credit on Miss
Lizzie Then, under whose supervision it
was prepared. 1t was happy crowd that
sat around that hospitable board and no
one was happier than the hospitable rev.
erend gentleman who gave the feast. Mr..
McCarty is a very genial gentleman at
dinner and many were the fiae stories he
told, whose humor conyalsed the party
with laughter. The party, outside Of
Father Then, consisted of representatives
of four counties in the south of Ireland,
Limerick, Tiperary, Cork aud Kerry aud,
stranger still. they were each born in the
most historic spots in that section OF the
country. One of them was born on the
shores of the lakes of Killarney, an
other within sight of the broken treaty
stone of Limerick which commerates
William of Oranges perfidy in violating
between him and the renowned Irish and
French General Patrick Sarisfield after
whom P. S. Gilmore, the great band mas
ter, in named. Another was born near
Baltimore, in Tiperary, made famous By
the Irish poet aud patriot Charlie Kick
ham. Another was born under the shadow
of the castle Of Blarney, which contains
that magic stone, which, when kissed, is
said to endow man with great eloqueuce,
while another was born SO near the cele-
brated Shandon tower that the first noise
that fell on his ears was that of the sweet
chimes made famous by the poet priest
in that beautiful song the tune of which
touches the soul of every patriotic Irish
man. 1t is no wonder then that the stories
they told around Father Tihen's table
were Interesting aud sentimental In the
evening the same party with the addition
of Colonel Huffney, who once sat on the
the throne of Holland. accepted the inyi-
tation of Thomas B. Tobin aud dined with
him at the Manhattan hotel.

THE REVIVAL AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

The Sunday services at the First Bap-
tist church, conducted by Rev. Kennard.
were full of interest and gave much en-
coursgement TO the members and friends
of the church. In the morning a good
sized audience was present TO hear the
doctor discourse upon the great faith OF
the hesthen mother in the power of Christ
to heal her daughter, and her extreme
anxiety that her daughter should be heal
ed a full choir was present aud rendered
some excellent music.
In the evening the spacious hall con-
tanned but lew vacant seats. DR.. Ken
nArd's theme was whole families in
heaven Many hearts were stirred by
the earnest words of the speaker, and a
goodlY number of the uncoEverted mani
tested desire for their soul salvation.
The eyangeliss's sernoas OF Sunday
were especially directed toward the mem
bers OF the church, and were well calcu-
loged TO arouse them to renewed zeal and
activity. The meeting last evening was
well attended considering the severity of
the weather. An afternoon meeting will
be held at O'Clock today for Bible read
ing. The revival service will be held
again this evening

in the afternoon. The balmY Msy-like
weather of yesterday was remarked Of By

SHE scoRNED THE IDEA.

A woman interviewed County Commits
sioner Van Ness yesterday with reference
to little charity, and the pitiable tale she
told him so appealed to his heart that he
at once offered to relieve her by sending
her to the poor farm. This proposition
threw her into great rage and she sPurn.
ed the idea by saying she would go no
where where she would be bossed. Il
quit my husband" said she, because he
wanted to boss me, and l hain't going 70
change taskmasters for you or nobody
else" and with these remarks she waltzed
out of the commissioners room with an
indignant dignity that would do credit TO
the aueenly Catherine of Arragon. John
Wallace saw her in her rage, and he says
she was the hottest woman his eyes ever
beheld
