II Is Nearing COmpetiOn-Mr. Dsmrosch's
New York Symphony Orchestra.

The arrangement of the programme for
the coming May Music Festival is nearing
completion. 1t Will be somewhat more
varied that the last. and every number
will be a masterpiece. The Symphony
Orchestra of New York. under leadership
of Mr. Walter Damrosch. will. in itself. be
an attractive variation. The orchestra en-
bodies In itself more of the features of
psrmanency than any other Of the great
orcbestras this country has ever known.
The building of the great Music Hall in
New York by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. which
bears his name. has made this possible. for
here Mr.. Walter Damrosch has been placed

The recent municipal elections in
Kansas. where women vote for all the
officers, show that very few took the
trouble to vote. They seem to take no
interest in voting. except when there is
some special issue involved which inter-
ests them. That is, like many Repub-
licans, women in Kansas do not vote on
"off years." 1t further appears that col
ored women are better voters than
white, and because they voted largely
in one city the Republican ticket was
elected where it had been beaten for
eight years.

that the boys who come out of college

things being equal, it is fair to say. how
ever, that the graduates have some adj

TIE COMMITTEES.
Judge Glenn Relieves Democrats Of Suspense
BY Appointing the Committee.

No matter how small an Office is in sight
the Democrats of this city viii fight over
it. Ever since last Tuesdays convention
the politicians of the party have labored
under the most intense suspense in antici-
patton of the appointment of the county
committee by Judge Glenn, to whom was
delegated that power by the convention.
Now, then, it is hard thing for the aver
age man to see either honor or emolament
in connection with membership in COM
mittee whose cause is hopeless. A COM
mitteeman is an office. however, and the
average Wichita Democratic politician is
always ready TO fight for it. For the past
four days about score of Democrats have
been fighting like Kilkenny cats for mem
bership in tbs committee. They have
permitted an idea to take possession of
their heads that Cleveland will be the next
president and they each thiuk that being
a member of the county central committee
will be the shortest and surest route to the
custodianship of the government building
on South Market street. Many of them
honestly think thot the picayunist Office of
central committeeman carries weight with
it in petitioning for presidential favors
while the fact is all the county committee.
men of the Democratic party in Kansas
can write letters to Grover Cleveland,
under the existing conditions, and none of
them will reach farther than the fourth
assistant bottle washer of the White
House.
Well, as stated. the suspense was lifted
yesterday by Judge Glenn appointing one
from each ward of the city and three at
large from the county. as follows: First
ward, John C. Farrell; Second ward, Thos.
q. Fitch; Third ward, q. S. Wilson;
fourth ward, John T. Schoonover; fifth
ward, Will c. Glenn; sixth ward, L. T.
j ohnson; from the country Matt Gorges OF
ST. Marks, J. L. Kincaid of Clearwater
and Charles Nelson of Valley Center. It
was thought that the appointments would
be such as to have enough friends on the
committee to include Joseph Coats, whose
friends were ready to make fight for him
for chairman but Tom Fitch's pull was
too strong and there is hardly any doubt
but what that gentleman will be the man
who, with the Alliance chairman, will
have to surrender their scalps to John
Hume, the Republican chairman, before
the ides of November. Harry Moore has
ambition to be secretary of the committee
but it has been authoritatively stated to
the EAGLE man that he is not in it. The
committee will not commence the active
part of the campaign for about month or
six weeks.
