THE BOY ORATOR..

The Central Christian church was well
filled last night to hear The boy Orator.
Garfield Black. The boy is very graceful
and shows fine training in gesture and at
titude. He has good selection of recita-
tions and his humorous ones are very
amusing to the little folks. If the boy had
the voice and enunciatlon of some Of WITCH.
ita's young elocutionists. he would be hard
to excel as his appearance and general
manner are exceptionally good. One
great source of success in the teaching of
elocution aud oratory in our city schools is
the care taken with the voice to pronounce
distinct, clear and full, free of nasal sound
aud not SO rapidly as to mix the words.
Pose and gesture add force and effect to
ali rec;tations but without a full clear
voice they fail in their purpose.
The Misses Hays executed a piano duet
in All exquisite manner and with rare skill
and beauty.
Miss Bean rendered vocal solo to the
delight of the audience, and was encored
until she sang another. Miss Bean has
but recently returned from Chicago where
she has spent the last three years.
Miss Inrz Creditor executed piano solo
in beau ilu. style and rendered it per-
fectly with one hand. This WAS rather an
innovation on piano exercise and required
nerves, pracl ice and bought.
The entertainment was very enjoyable
and Was appreciated by all.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP INCREASING
Which Is an Indication Of he Steady G rowth Of
ofthe Peerless Princess,

A gentleman well versed on church
affairs informed an EAGLE reporter last
night that the membership of the Wichita
churches has shown an increase since the
middle of August that is unparalleled in
the history of Wichita. This fact, he
says, is the best indication in the world OF
large increase in the population OF the
city. He attributes this increase to the
schools of Wichita. and cited many in
stances of families moving to this city for
no other reason than the educa-
tional advantages offered. This is also
are very desirable class for, as rule, no
one except substantial and valuable
citizen moves to a community because of
this inducement 1t is noticeable fact
that many of the new corners are farmers
who have acquired a competency sufficient
to enable them to live in comfort in Il city
OF Wichita's size and to give their children
a first class school training Since Sept
l, fully go additions have been made to
the membership of the various churches
and this means an increase Of 1000 people
alone. The new directory issued Indicates
an increase of about 1900 in the popua-
ton, while the number of votes cast at the
recent election indicates an increase in the
population amounting to at least 4, 600
No man can figure from any standpoint
without arriving at the conclusion that
the population has increased from 2, 500 to
j. 200 during the past 100 days.

THE WRONG HARRIS.

The Wellington Mail says that Colonel
A. A Harris of Fort Scott will be one of
the speakers at the fusion ratification
meeting here tonight. This is news to the
committee Of this city who have invited
the speakers. The usionists of Wichita
have about as much use for Colonel A A.
at tonight's meeti < as queensware
dealer would have for a mad bull in his
shop. The Harris that will be here is
Coiouel w. A. Harris of Leavcnworth. A
few days ago when the secretary of the
invitation committee was sending
out invitations to speakers
Democrat happened to be looking
over his shoulder and when he saw him
writing in Colonel Harris name he
thought it was Colonel Harris of Fort
Scott and he Immediately jumped on the
back of the secretary's neck and swore by
everything good and bad tina: he would
wreck the mail train rather than see an
invitation 20 to Col. Harris. There would
be war right there il the secretary had not
explained matters. No, there will be
no perfumed invitations sent to Colonel
A. A. Harris or Colonel William Mitchell
this year.

ANOTHER LEASE OF LIFE.
New Trial Granted TO Clyde Nattox, Und
Sentencc of Death.
A dispatch from Washington dated Mon
day night saws:

A dispatch from Washington dated Mon
day night says:
1.-THE supreme court today gave new
| lease of life to border ruffiian named
| Clyde Mattox, under sentence OF death
passed by United States district court OF
Kansas, for a n urder committed In the
Indian territory. 1t appeared that on the
trial the bailif in charge OF the jury IN
formed them that This was the third
man MattoX had killed, aud further AL
lowed them TO have access TO A newspaper
which published a full account of the des-
perado's previous crimes. Further. the
Kansas court refused to admit evidence
that the murdered man said before his
death that he knew it was not Mattox who
shot him. For these reasons Chief Justice
Fuller granted new trial"
Clyde, who is confined in the Jail here,
first heard toe good news through the
EAGLE representative. and to say that he
felt good would be but modestiy express
ing it.. He said he had bsen expecting
such a decision for long time,
but Was growing weary OF waiting in such
suspense. Matfox has been in Jail about
three years and in that length of time has
been on trial for two murders. In the
first trial he was acquitted. but was inn
mediately re-arrested for the murder of a
colored man named Mullen, in Oklahoma
City. For this offense he was tried here
during the September, 1891 term of the
United States district court, found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged on the 18th
day of January, following. While the
jury were in their room considering his
case, they obtained, by some means, copy
of the EAGLE which contained a history of
his crimes This was all that his attor-
neys could think of to save his neck, and
on that ground they made application
for new trial. The court
denied the application and they
took an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States. A stay of exc
cution was ordered till the application
could be heard ana in the mean time the
prisoner was transferred to the Topeka
Jail for the purpose, ostensibly. of placing
him outside the influence of the senti-
mentalsts Of Wichita who did so much
toward saving the neck of Eddie Belden.
After being in that institution about eight
months he was returned to Wichita where
he has since been confined
good deal could be said about Mattox
and his troubles, but it is better to say
nothing till he has been tried, which will
be At the March term Of the United States
court in this city.
