HE CAMP MEETING.

! The meeting ar Riverside park last night
closed the first week of the state camp meet
ug which opened here under the auspices
o. the Kansas Holiness association last
Thursday night The meeting started out
under the mos: favorable auspices VITA
beautiful weather and a large attendance,
and being stimulated az the very begin
ming by the presence of tae venerable aud
worId-renowned Bishop William Taylor of
Africa, and the evangelist, Rev. j. l.
Glasscock OF Cincinnati. Ohio. who has
fully maintained his high record rs PULPIT
orator and reviyaIIst by big week ) work.
A large number of Methodist preachers
from different parts of the state are pres

Cess OF tbs meeting. Among the most
ti-e.ess and effective workers ara Rev. c,
:. NUsbaum OF this city, president. and
Rev. l. B. Case OF Conway Springs, secre-
tary of the Kansas Holiness association.
The interest in the meetings seems 10 be
increasing with each succeeding
session, the Attendance being large,
the services enthusiastic and earn
est, and the affairs hled at each
gathering with peuitent seekers after sal
walton and the higher lie. Evangelist
Glasscock has preached some very stirring
sermons, one or two ri least bordering on
tue sensational, but his sermon last night,
Ephesans il. S, 9, was perhaps the best of
the series. The speaker seemed TO be at
his best, and his eloquent appeal
elected q hearty response, especially
from the large number of ministers
present. The result was a very earnest
and successful altar service following the
sermon, resulting in number Of CONVEX
sIOus.
Rev. Joseph H. Smith. the noted Phila-
delphia evangelist, who is not unknown
here. having been here twice duriag the

THEY WANT JUSTICE.
The Grocery Gers Association Working For
Shorter Hours

The Grocery Clerks association met last
| night in their hall, over 1O5 East Douglas
avenue, in their regular weekly session
and to take some action to induce the six
grocers who refuse to close at 80, as
agreed, to join the seventy-odd ones who
! are now closing, according to agreement,
at that hour. The meeting was well at
tended. and the boys seemed to be very
earnest in their efforts to emancipate
themselves from the slavery of long hours.
Charles Fordham presided. and II. l.
torde acted as secretary The meeting
was not made up exclusively Of clerks
by any means. for several prOprietors
Of stores were present, and all of them
were as enthusiastically in favor Of shorter
hours as the clerks were They expressed
their regrets, however that the new gro
Ger who insists on keeping open long
hours should think so much of a few dimes
as 10 keep themselves and their clerks
away from their families two hours or
more TO catch them They made no
threats, but it was apparent from the tenor
OF their remarks that they propose to
mould public sentiment to such an extent
in favor of reasonable and just working
his store open till 10 O'Clock Will be play
ing the penny wise and pound foolish act.
TIE boys who will get the advantage of
early closing will recompense the generos-
!tJ OF their employers by doing better
work and more of it than If his working
hours were longer, and Will recompense
him additionally by making extra efforts
TO get trade away from the grocer who in
sists on long hours. It was reported
at the meeting last night that one young
man who drives wagon for a short hour
employer had actually worked on the feel
lnSs OF tive families so successfully that
be took their trade away from the long
hour fellows The boys are unit IN their
earuestness in this matter aud they will
come very near succeeding in their endeav-
ors In the end
The grocery clerks seem to have an ex-
cellent grievance and public sympathy is
unquestionabIy in their favor. They are
the hardest worked class Of employees in
the city and their hours OF work are
longer than those OF any other class. It is
not for less work that they contend but
for shorter hours They want TO have
lew hours 10 spend with their families, a
few minutes for recreation OF evenings and /
fresh air. As it has been, they went to /
work 1T $50 or o'clock in the morning |
and remained at work till 10 o'clock at
night, making their working day nearly |
eighteen hours, or equal to two aud guar /
ter legal working days The public, of |
course, are hard TO satisfy and may kick .
for Few weeks because they can't get into /
a grocery store after $50. but they will !
gradually get in the habit of buying their /
goods earlier, and in a short time will be /
used to the new order of things. That
early closing among the merchants is pop
u!ar is evidenced by the fact that only
about six of the eighty grocery merchants
IN town are keeping open after 40

The Citizens Electric Light company
evidently have faith in the Peerless Prin-
cess, for they are now engaged in extend
ing their light service to the residence por-
tions Of the city. Linemen are putting up
the wire along North Market street, To-
peka and Lawrence avenues, and in day
or two the service will be ready for private
houses. This viii he great boon 10 fam
lies who can afford to have mean
descent lights, and mostly every one can
afford it as it will not cost more than
about cent per lamp per hour. They will
put in meters on exactly the same prin-
cipe as gas is measured. and consumers
will have to pay only for the amount they
may burn This is experimental in one
sense OF the word, although permanent,
and il IL proves success in these local.
ties the service will be extended TO ali resi-
dence portions OF the city. 1t is quite

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
In your issue of yesterday I notice thai
the police commissioners of this city have
undertaken 10 enforce the law against sell.
ing cigarettes 10 boys. Surely this is d
commendable move, and one in which our
/ police should have the hearty support OF
every true friend OF Wichita and her
| boys
There are some laws on the statue books
/ Of Kansas concerning which we as citizens
/ may differ and differ honestly, but surely
I no sensible man or woman will d re TO
/ raise his voice against the rigid enforce
/ menr of this law. II tie parents of this
| city fully realized the extent 20 which this
| traffic is Carried on in our midst, they
would most Certainly give their hearty
| support TO the officers in their attempt TO
| protect the boys OF Wichita. There are
today on our streets hundreds OF boys be-
tween the ages or and 10 who are "a
much addicted to that coffin naiI'' a. the
oldest smokers are 10 their cigars, and this
too in the face of law to the contrary.
In a conversation a short time since with
hFe boys ranging IN age from : 20 Is.
we learned that every one or those boys
had been smoking these deadly cigarettes
for a period of from two TO seven years.
ana the ELECTS could easily Ue seen IN
