TAYLOR or LIBERIA.
The Colored Demo-Pop Of wyaadoste Waits
the City,

Among the politicians ia the city last
night was c. H. j. Taylor, the colored edi-
tor, orator and Demo-pop of Kansas City.
the ex-minister TO Liberia and the tenn
porary secretary OF the Popnlist state con
ventiop held in this city last June. He
says that his mission was not a political
one, but those who watched him say that
he was pretty busy circulating among the
powers that are III the saddle. Taylor is "A
shrewd fellow aud upon being inter
viewed he lodged everything about his
own political aspirations and waded into
a faisome dattery of Grover Cleveland
He is after the appointment of register Of
deeds for the District of Columbia, the po-
sition held now by ex-senator B. X Bruce
and formerly held by Matthews and
Douglass He says this, from custom, be-
longs to the colored people. aud that he.
in his opinion. of course, is better entitled
to it than any other man in the country.
He does not insist that he will get the Of
flee. which is very modest in him. but does
insist that he ought TO have il. Speaking
about state matters he said that about
$500 colored people voted for Lewelling,
and that if they voted for Smith he
would have been elected. With
his usual modesty then he
claims that Mr.. Lewellieg owes his cleo
ton to the colored people. He hopes, Of
course, that Mir. Lewellin9 will consider
this in making up the list Of appointments
and govern himself according. c. H. j. is
fine talker. as slick as peeled onion in
his political conversation. and has hum
erous way of putting things that is rather
interesting He talks of course, as il he
WAS the leader Of the colored race In Kan
sas, whome he calls my people" with his
usual modesty.

LOTS OF OFFICE SEEKERS.
If the gubernatorial position Is as tryi

If the gubernatorial position Is as trying
after the Inauguration as it IS between the
election and that period Mr.. Lewelling
will earn every dollar of his salary. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that he is today the
busiest man in Kansas and that he has the
hardest line of customers to deal with.
The Peoples party headquarters in the
Sedgwick block are crowded from morn
ing till night with the hungry politicians
of two parties. They are coming here by
the score from every portion of the state;
from Doniphan TO Morton counties and
from Cheyenne to Cherokee. They are
coming black and white, and each of them
is after the very fatttst Office in tho state.
When an EAGLE reporter called at head
quarters yesterday Mr.. Leweiiing was no,
there, but about fifty Office seekers were.
A call was made in the private
ante-room, but that was like
the main headquarters. 1t contained
office seekers without number, but not Mr..
Lewelling. In the rear corner there is a
little nook and from this to an upper floor
there leads a very narrow and very steep
stair or ladder At the entrance OF this
little hole in the wall the reporter noticed
a crowd. and passing around that way he
saw Mr.. Lewelling sitting on the very top
step, hearing the claims OF a typical Office
seeker while four or five others were be-
low waiting their turn to get the ear of
the governor, like that many penitents
waiting to get the ear of the father con-
fessor. Mr.. Lewelling had been forced to
this position by the persistence CT the
politicians, and he was sweating like the
proverbial African at an election.

Brown Turpin evening, assisted by Mr..
and Mrs Garst, with Mrs. Nellie Hobbs

MIR. Turpin is styled in Europe as the
celebrated American baritone, and in
America he is justly styled, the baritone.
In the words of London's great singing
master. W. o. Shakespeare, "his tones are
perfect" His numbers were all very fine
and heartily applauded. In response to
his first encore he sang ballad composed
by Wichita lady, Mrs. Cook. which was
well received The ladies of the Wichita
Musical club are to be highly commended
in securing such rare talent for our public.
The last reciatal OF the course will be given

APPEAL FOR THE BLACK LAMBS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
l wish TO notice through your valuable
paper, whose columns have ever proved a
friend to the race represent. that last
year two of the public schools were as
signed to the Colored Cbildren's Home for
us to collect our Thanksgiving donations
from. But it seems great dissatisfac-
tion arose among the white children (and
parents) attending these schools, and at
the Emerson school the bags were divided
in our presence. This year it has been de-
cided to allow all the bags to 20 TO the
white Children's Home and such articles
as they select be sent to our Home. This,
l think, would not be satisfactory 10 us
least some bag I've sent us through the
kindheaItedness of the president OF the
Wichita Children's Home and whose
doner would be awfuily grieved should
they know such bag was seat to feed the
black lambs OF His fccl. II is hoped the
parents Of colored children viii donate
literally, aud thst If there be any white
children kind enough to give to Us that
they will place on their bags "Colored
Chiidrea's Home" and only such bags as
are marked be sent TO US. God is able to
care for the black lambs as we'll as the
white. Respectfully.
NAOMI ANDERSON,
President Coiored Chiidren's Home.

THE MIDNIGHT ALARM.

In speaking of the Midnight Alarm"
the Philadelphia Press of October -. says:
1.-THE National last night held large au-
dience which witnessed with evident en-
joyment and considerable enthusiasm, the
rather thrilling fve-act drama. 1.-The Mid
night Alarm" The excellent stage set
ting evoked much applause, the scenes
where the fast express flies acros, the draw
bridge, after the attempt to wreck it had
been foiled, and the one showing the in
terror of the engine house, and the receipt
OF the alarm OF fire, changing to the ex-
terror of the house and showing the smok-
ing steamer dashing through the storm to
the fire. We're realistic and thrilling"

TIE CHRYSANTHEMUM FAIR.

Yesterday the Hypatia club employed
the day in winding up the fair. 1t was
really not day Of exhibition but rather of
division and settlement. 1t was big job,
and several ladies were employed the
whole DAY in adjusting accounts, others in
assisting the florists with their assert
ments. One feature of this fair which
was pleasing and commendable is, the
ladies paid all the premiums before they
closed the room.
The club voted a choice plant to each
lady who had worked and so earnestly
labored during the three days and nights.
and through whose efforts the pleasure
and entertainment of visitors was due.
The special premium medal voted to
Mr. Chatfield was for the best floral dis
piay-not for the best variety, as reported.
This gentleman has raised new variety
of chrysanthemum and named it in honor
of Mrs. Hersey SARAH Louise Hersey"
Mrs. Hersey also raised a new variety and
called it 'Hypatia." in honor Of the club
Many solicitations were made by ladies
Of the city that the club continue the fair
two or more days this week. but owing to
the labor and tho necessity of procuring
new supplies of plants the club decided
not to do So
AS the success of working a difficult
problem in mathematics inspires to more
extended research in the world of figures,
so the successful exhibition OF this won
derful chrysanthemum show has inspired
to greater effort and study as to its sus-
ceptibility for propagation and develop
ment. and several Of Wichita's ladies and
gentlemen have already clasped hands
with the club and the florists to leave no
work undone to give still finer exhibit
tion next year. Thus endeth the chrysan-
themum fair which has proven delight
and source of study and astonishment to
all

THANKSGIVING NOTICE.

One of the most practical things a man
can do on Thanksgiving Day is to share
his blessings with some one else. This
will be done. no doubt, in many homes and
in all the churches. This charities COM

remind the community of its interest in
this matter. The Office in the city hall
will be open especially to receive contribu-
tons of food or clothing or money from
1870 to o. m. Those who cannot bring
their gifts to the room will be called on

A RUNAWAY.

A runaway occurred on West Douglas
yesterday afternoon about clock, which
came near resulting in the very serious in
jury of an old gentleman, whose name
could not be learned. His team. which
were young horses. became frightened at a
West Side car. and reared aud plunged
about, upsetting his wagon and throwing
him to the pavement. The team then
started west, but were captured at Nor
gan's stable before they had done any
damage to the wagon or otherwise. The
old gentleman was helped into a drug
store, but his injuries fortunately were
only in the nature of a few ugly bruises.

Thursday will be Thanksgiving day and
will afford the kind-hearted people OF the
city an opportunity to do some good for
the poor. There are TWO homes for waits
in the city, one for white and one for
black, and here is a good field for benevo-

should be drawn, for God will reward the
man who drops turkey or chicken III

MORE TALENT AND MORE kooM.

The progress made during the past year
at All Hallows Academy has been so great
and the number of students has increased
to such an extent that additional talent
had to be secured In the musical depart
ment. After looking over the field thor
ougLly the selection of Mrs. Catherine
Russell ives made and for the fut urs she
will be n member OF the staff OF this very
creditable and successful Wichita institu-
ton. Mrs. Russell is the directress of the
Pro- Cathedral choir and is splendidiy
equipped for the important position for
which she has been chosen. The prosper
iiy OF the academy has so far exceeded the
fondest dreams OF its promoters that il
now becomes necessary MOI only to fad ad-
ditionrl musical and art talent, but it also
becomes necessary to find additional
aud a vast enlargement
of the handsome structure is in contem-
pation and will be accomplished soon.
This is another proof that Kansas is very
far from being on the verge of moral ruin.
