Next morning he went down on the

TAKE SOMETHING WITH VOC.

Oh the sacredness OF syn pathy, the
sweetness OF charity. And no commu-
nifty has more Of these than the good peo-
pie Of Wichita. They have their own
troubles aud dissapointnents, their own
calamities and discouragements, God
knows, and enough of them, but how
quick are they to respond TO the cry of
distress from within their own midst or
from their neighbors without. No doubt
many viii go over this afternoon to To-
wanda, especially if the day should prove
fine. Let every such one take bundle or
a basket containing something to eat or
something to wear. It is a sad picture,
over there, and there is only desolation
and sorrow, only the despairing, the ruin
ed, the wounded and the unburried dead
In the presence of such scene ordinary
every day disagreeable things and mis-
understandings should be dismissed.
Those who desire to go over can leave
Wichita at the Missouri Pacific depot at a
few minutes before o'clock and be back
home at half past o'clock, remaining in
Towanda nearly two hours.

HENDERSON'S DISPLAY.
/ Re New York Store Crowded Yesterday From
Morning 4 i'll Night.

With the possible exception Of Towanda,
Cash Henderson's New York store was
the greatest center of attraction in this
part Of the country yesterday. From
morning till night his mammoth dry
goods store was crowded with ladies, and
at one time he was almost compelled 10
close his doors TO prevent the crowd from
becoming SO dense as to endanger sufoca-
ton. The occasion for such az immense
tkrong was his great display which was
noticed in the EAGLE yesterday morning.
The large double building resembled
a conservatory, SO numerous were the
flowers and plants which greeted the eye
wherever it turned. The great big, joyiai.
happy-hearted proprietor was kept moving
all day until he was almost worn out when
the doors were closed and the nice iron
gates in front of them were shut and
with one lady. cracked a joke with an
other, talked Irish with third, talked
German with a fourth, held the baby for
fifth, pinned souvenir on q sixth, and
so on all day long, making himself useful
and genial and pleasant as he went along.
Ii would DO one good to see how happy he
was himself and how happy he made all
whom he met. Goods were piled
up everywhere and SO nicely ar
ranged that every one could see what
she wanted without trouble. He said to q
reporter for the EAGLE that he made no
effort 10 sell any goods although from the
size Of the crowd he must have taken in
& 500 or g 900. All he cared TO do, he
said, was TO show the people that he had
the largest and best assorted lot of dry
goods in the state OF Kansas The estab-
lishment looked more like a beehive thar
anything else. Fifty or sixty clerks were
kept running back and forth behind the
counter all day and none Of these for a
moment failed to be pleasant aad court
eous impossible as 1t seemed. for the crowd
was large enough 70 annoy the most gen
lal tempered individual in the world. The
fact is that Mr.. Heuderson's success
depends in a great measure on the fact
that be will have no clerk in his house
who Is not the very soul Of happiness,
cheerfulness and courtesy TO customers.
The millinery department was crowded
almoSt to sutfocatioD All day and Ia the
evening Madame Cox was almost worn
out from the amount of work she had
done during the day, but was still smiling
and happy when the EAGLE man visited
her department. At night three fine arc
lampe Illuminated the front Of the store,
making the streets as bright as day.
Mr.. Henderson's display was s tri-
umpEant success and II Is safe To presume
tuat his name was mentioned around the
lrs,.des Of " .chita last ght ofteler
than OF any dozen OF men il Wlcnits.

up with the declaration that if il proves
