CLEANLINESS, CHEAP AND BENEFICIAL

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Ny vocation takes me into the homes of
people in all classes and conditions of
society, and often-times requires me to
view the premises from the attic to cellar.
Incidental to this experience 1 have been
surprised to find so many people indiffer-
ent to filth and breathing air contaminated
by their own lack of cleanliness; when
nothing is more plentiful aud cheaper
than pure air. aud, next to air, nothing
more abundant or more readily obtained
than water: natures two great cleansing
dsinfectants, ever ready with their CO.

If given fair opportunity. The liberal
use of water. pure air aud sunshine will

prolific sources of disease-6lth; maks life
more wholesome and the world Will gain
much by increased physical, mental and
moral forces. S

THE GRAND CONCERT.

No concert has ever been given IN Wich-
| ita that will be as brilliant as the one TO
take place next Saturday night.
| The programme will be rendered by only
star singers, who are known the world
| over. On this point the New York Trib-
une says:
Unlike other foreign artists who come
to this country, Muslin has the wisdom of
surrounding himself with a first class
company, and is happy when his company
receive some of the glory he receives each
night, hence his great success. both fnan-
cially and artistically, IN America. On
his last California tour he played fifteen
nights to an average of ST. 200 per night,
the largest receipts ever made by any viz
tuoso in America"
Musin is acknowledged one of the fore
most violinists that have ever lived. He
plays as only a master can, aud is always
greeted with rapturous applause. A solo
played on one string of his violin once
heard. is never to be forgotten.
The soprano is no less than Annie
Louise Tanner. All the New York papers
are unstinted in their praise Of her, and
as she sings G. above high in perfect
voice, one can imagine what treat is in
store for those who attend.
The tenor is Roger Dupuy. How be
stands in Paris is best told by clipping
from = Partisan newspaper. 1t says:
Divide Musin has had such great success
in America that he can come 10 Paris and
engage its greatest tenor under the very
noses Of our managers, and offer more
money and longer engagement than the
agents of the Grand Italian Opera, and
the artist is glad to go with him. This is
Paris loss and Americas gain. We wish
NJ Dupuy great success, which is assured
in America.
OF Inez Parmater, Emil Singer and
Eduard Scharf, who compose the rest of
the company, columns could be written.
1t is sufficient TO say that they are on
par with those mentioned
The concert will be wonderful Every
piece will be enjoyable, and those who at
tend will not only have been pleased, but
have heard some Of the most noted artists
of the day.

ADJUSTMENTS.


SKIPPED By THE LIGHT OF THE MOON. y
IL Is safe 10 say that the amusement
goers df this city will receive with much
satisfaction the announcement that the
famous laughing sensation, skipped by
the Light of the Moon" is To be produced
at the Crawford Opera house on next
Tuesday evening by Fowler & Warming
toms original company. It's verbal fun
and gymnastic hilarity, its vim and ''go''
that delights all who have witnessed it,
has lost none OF its charm and will draw
forth an audience that should test the
opera. house TO its capacity. The St.
Louis Globe Democrat says:
Skipped by the Light of the Noon"
last night was given to an audience that
throaged the house TO the doors. and that
was kept in perfect whirl of laughter for
nearly three hours. The comedy is moth
ing more or less than a swift succession Of
laughter-proyoking incidents, but there is
great deal of good-natgrsd, everyday
fun Ia the dialogue, and the amusement
seekers who fail 10 see it will miss more
fun than they will be able to derive from
any other source in long time.

A Big Catch OF Fish.

1t will be remembered that about one
year ago. that the catch of blue fish, or
better known as taylors, in the waters
of Tangier Sound was greater than was
heretofore known to the Oldest in
habitants of this vicinity. On Monday,
Messrs. Church & Co., of this place,
who are one OF the several who are en-
gagged in this industry, report the I'M
precedented catch of $500 blue fish,
averaging about seven TBS each, and
about $50 900 ale wives. averaging ten
bushels to the thousand making about
$4,000 bushels. These fish were taken
from two pounds or nets, leaving three
unfinished, and the fourth net was so
full Of fish that they were unable to
manage it, and the ropes were cut aud
the fish allowed to escape. Judging
from the two traps that were fished,
and the condition of the remaining
four, the catch would have grand
total of $500 blue fish or about 60 1000
TBS. and about 100000 or $4,000 hushels
of ale wives. These traps or pounds as
they are gommnnly called, are located
in Tangier SOUND and adjoining the
famous fishing grounds along Fox's
Island, a narrow strip of land lying
between Tangier Sound and Pocomoke
Sound, which is said to be the best
fishing waters in the States of Virginia
and Maryland. This island has recent :.
ly been purchased by Mr.. VIM. Film
ger, an enterprising citizen of Balti-
more. This Island is also noted for
sportsmen, with dog and gun, also for
the famous Tangier eyatepa and
