A y.rx Wide Awake Eve.

a man Of the shabby genteel order
went into the reading room OK one OF the
hotels. and seating himself in an easy
chair drew a paper from his pocket. He
held the paper before him. and while his
left eve remained closed he appeared TO
be reading. Time slipped by, and 1t was
several hours before the Waterman was
attracted TO him. During the next hour
the fellow never moved. ard with fear
and trembling the Waterman went 70
his side.
The right eye gazed mechanically at
the paper. and. fearing that Its owner
had died in that position. several OF the
ernploves Of the hotel gathered around

which brought him 10 his feet, and e1-
plantations followed. The man had no

improved Chair for Theatres.

To the theatre managers or TINS
country is commended a new form of
chair for use in theatres, nuslc halls,
etc. which Is now being introduced into
England. This chair Is already IN use
in several theatres in Germany, and Is
intended not only 10 prevent panic IN
case of fire, etc, by enabling the audi
ence to gain the exit doors more easily
than hitherto, but also to allow officials
Of the theatres and members Of the audi
ence to move with freedom from one
place 10 another.
For this purpose the seat and back OF
the chair are free 20 move, and are con
nected suitably together, 80 that by
means of a counterbalance weight a
mere touch of the hand will cause the
seat and the back to move simultaneous
" on hinges to vertical position, the
seat by raising and the back by lower
ing, thereby allowing free passage along
or through the tiers. The very idea OF
such device, when the absurd amount
Of Inconvenience and annoyance suffered
in comparative patience by the ordinary
theatregoer is considered, raises up VS.
ions of comfort and pleasure which II
seems hard 10 believe will ever be real

WHO WILL IMNORTALlZE HIMSELF!

Again and again the question is asked
why the magnificent building erected for
the Young men of Wichita is not thrown
open for their use. The walls have been
erected, the building enclosed. the floor
laid the walls plastered, the interior WOOD
work and finish put in and painted, the
steam heating plant completed. the gym
nasium apparatus received and waiting to
be placed in position, the bath rooms
furnished and connected, everything IN
readiness to turn over to the young men
for whose physical, mental, social and
spiritual welfare it was designated.
The only reason the committee and OH
GERS can give for this prolonged delay in
turning the keys over and inauguratlng
this magnificent movement is, they wish to
/ first pay all obi cations and remove every
epcumbrance. None are deploriug this
delay in opening more than they, at the

CORNER BUNS.

There was no regular meeting on Mon
dsy owing to the fact that the report was
circulated that the old settlers dinner was
a public affair, free for all, which had the
effect to completely demoralize the meet
ing for the entire day Yesterday they be-
gan bright and early to gather, but the
elements were against them. The first
question taken up was: What shall we do
with the Douglas election bill, which II
passed would rob them Of the only source
of revenue which they have left them II
was proposed that committee be sent 70
Topeka to lobby against the bill, but the
question of how the COMMITTEES would get
there seemed to throw cold glamor over
any further discussion on that subject.
The committee on candidates reported that
some of their candidates owned property
in the city. and that they had carefully In
yestipated the matter and that 1t was q
base falsehood, that it was campaign lie
and was branded as such.

me suggest something. In England the

dunned Wells for coal bill that ne
claimed the latter owed him. Some not

when suddenly Wells grabbed heavy ink

holtz barely missing his head and striking
a row cf drawers in the rear OF the pas
sive party Immediately the passive De-
came the active and they cinched and be
gan active preparations for open
hostilities. The tug of war upset them
both and they assumed horizontal posi-
ton and endeavored TO materially dlshgure
each other
The bows in the Office gathered around

to do so, calmly and in the interests o.
economy, separated them and coercee
