Berlin Getting Nearer the Pole.

Berlin Getting Nearer the Pole.
A few years ago it was suspected that
the latitude Of places on the earth's
surface changes. A number Of astron-
omers agreed to make observations for
two years, and the result has just been
made public. Latitudes do change.
Berlin, for example, was fifty feet
nearer the North Pole in September
than 1t was in March. The change is
not, of course, shifting Of any one
point of the earth's surface. 1t is q
fitting of the axis of the earth.

AN EXCITING CHASE.

An exciting runaway took place on East
Douglass avenue yesterday afternoon
about two o'clock. The horse and buggy
of Mr.. Hardy Solomon were standing in
front of the coffee store on East Douglass
and in the buggy was seated Miss Pauline
Wallenstein. who held the reins. In a
short time the gentleman who was driving
the horse stepped into the vehicle aud
reached for the lines. He did not succeed
in catching them and they dropped down
in front of the dash board. At the same
time the horse plunged away at mad
gallop, throwing the man under the wheels
and brusing him badly. Miss Wallen
stein acted very bravely through the en-
tire scene. and cody asked the gentleman
after his injuries while the horse was
tearing away like mad. She
did not scream or faint. but
held tightly onto the buggy.
John Barr, who was riding horseback saw
the runaway and gave chase. When the
runaway reached the Rock Island depot
the horse fell and at the same time the
horsemsn Came up and stopped the ami
NAL from going any further. He was
literally rewarded for his brave action by
the gentleman who was with Miss W allen
stein.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The theatrical season was opened last
night at the Crawford Grand by Robert
Downing, the heir apparent to Booths
place on the American stage. It was q
| fine audience that greeted him; Que of the
finest that has ever greeted an actor in
this city. 1t was cultured audience, TOO,
and one that seemed to have proper Con-
cepfion of the beauty of classic plays
The Gladiator" was the play selected by
Mr.. Downing on this occasion and it salt
ed him well. His support was splendid.
II consisted chiefly of Eugene Blair (Mrs.
Downing) in Neodamia, Miss Florence
Erwin in Faustina the Empress, and T. c..
Moseley in Flavian. Miss Erwin was
certainly very fine as she combined high
order of talent, with an equally high order
of beauty and stage appearance. Mr.. Mosely
in Flavian could hardly be excelled, while
Miss Erwin impersonated the Empress
Faustina in the most acceptable manner,
viewing her from an Evolutionary stand
point. This is her second season on the
stage, and certainly no one can deny that
she is remarkably successful with such a
brief experience. BY the way. Miss Erwin
is very intimate friend of Mrs. Ed Gold
berg and taught her children their first
lessons In elocution az Canton, o., the
native home of the two ladies.
The scenery was fine, and especially the
piece representingthe far famed Coliseum
of Rome. Taking it all in all, it was de-
cidedly very creditable entertainment,
and fully sustained the fame that pre-
coded Downing's company and all that
has been said of him by the Kansas City
papers, at which city he played last week
to the largest audiences ever assembled at
the Coates house. They go from here 10

on South Senaca street. The company
was given in honor of Mrs. Higginson's
mother, Mrs L. N. Glover, aud her sister,
Mrs R. II. Mitchell, of Springfield. Ills.
The parlors were handsomely decorated
with flowers, red and yellow predominant
ing The dining room was all in pink and
white, the lamps and wax candles in their
silver holders partakipg of the
same rosy color The mantle was banked
with pink and white flowers, and vases of
the same delicate blossoms adorned the
small tables from which refreshments
were served. The large table was dec
grated with bowls of La France roses
upon a pink scarf which extended the
full length OF the table. Dainty cards,
tied with pink ribbons. denoted TO
each guest their places at the
tables. Upon the card was familiar
quotation, the author of which the
guests were expected to announce. This
caused no little amusement, as the guesses
were in many instances wide of the mark.
The choice refreshments were all served
from hand painted china, the handiwork
of Mrs. Higginson's mother, Mrs. Glover.
Some very fine music was furnished dur
ing the evening by Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. Hig-
ginson and Mr.. Harry McClung.

BETTER SYSTEM NEEDED.

start out in the season with better system

incident to seating the belated folks who
think it is the height of fashion TO come in
late, was so great When a person pays a
dollar to see An entertainment he naturally
does not expect a disturbance OF the peace
and by all means he desires to catch on to
the opening of the plot, for If he does not
he necessarily will have no interest in the
play Who can imagine more annoying
thing than to be yanked out of a seat 10 let
some other fellow Ia when the first scene
is opening and you want TO hear every
word and see every movement of the actors.

Irritating TO people of nervous tempera-

house 10 allow no one to go 20 their seats,
except they are outside seats al least, be
tween the time the curtain rises and gees
down on acts and every reasonable person
Acknowledges this to be good rule TO
continue. Then again hoodlams coming
down stairs four steps at tene and boys
ouarreling outside aud above the entrance
are very annoying and disturbing. It IS
now, it seems, and always has Oeen che OF
the serious faults OF Wichita audiences 10
come in late. Why they do it no one but
their individual selves know. II would be
a good plan TO either postpone the raising
of the curtain to $50 or else make il {

rule obeyed Now is the accepted time 10

WHAT AN OLD SETTLER SAYS.

Judge J. S. Oliver of Haskell county. is
in the city taking treatment from DR..
Munseli. The Judge is one of the earliest
settlers of southwestern Kansas. and has
been one amongst the few who saw in the
coming time a rich reward for the faith
full who had confidence in the future of
what was regarded as the arid sunburned
desert of Kansas. Judge Oliver is one Of
the charter members OF the Republican
party in Haskell county and his efforts for
the triumph of good government over an
archy WAS a potent factor in securing the
arge Republican majority in his county
two yerrs ago, when Haskell came out as
a shining light for the whole Republican
state ticket when our state WAS darkened
by fears OF the supremacy of organized
ignorance. The judge assured the re-
porter that no fears need be harbored for
the safety Of his county in November for
the whole ticket, national and
state, and gives the information that no
vestige of the political alliance is left to
donate aid to the party who raise the flag
of Clevelaud's second substitute 10 their
masthead, that the Republicans of that
whole section of the state are alive TO the
necessity of forever burying the last re-
mains of calamity and reputation.
Judge Oliver states that his county IS
full of wheat aud that the corn and forage
crops are more abundant than ever before
in its history. Mr.. Oliver is one OF tha
chosen men in the favor of his people AID
his neighbors, having been chosen IS
justice of peace and held the posSoffice Of
his township since the organization 81
Haskell county and now, though by ressos
of his forced absence for medical treat
ment he is unable to De at the primary
convention, Is being pushed by the stall
wart Republicans of his county for the
nomination of probate judge, with every
assurance from his friends of securing he
nomination
