How Walt Whitman LIVED.

The facts concerning Walt Whitman s
source of revenue in the last years Of
his life have never been told. It is
well known that he was always poor;
that few magazines would buy his work;
that the royalties on his books were
small, and that he was partly incapaci-
tated by paralysis He might have
died in actual want but for the action
OF few Of his admirers, mostly resi-
dents of New York and BROOKLYN, who
agreed to pay. and did pay, certain
sum apiece every month that insured
his comfort. Whitman was sensitive
10 anything that appeared like charity,
and this generous giving was kept Sc
cret, but he was very grateful for this
Timely aid, and those who furnished it
have autograph letters in his heavy,
sprawling hand that may some day be
worth as much as they contributed for
his needs Y. Sun

When ostrich farming was in It's

feathers matured, as many as could be
circumvented were caught and plucIed.

TRAMPS EVERYWHERE.

Several complaints are being made re-
garding the increase in the number OF
tramps that infest the city daily. IJ is
said that Wichita has not been visited by
SO many tramps for several years as it is
at present which is owing, no doubt, to
the worlds fair They all seem TO be 60
ing eastward and are becoming a positive
nuisance TO people along tue railway lines
particularly.
The railroad people too are put to a vast
amount of trouble and in many cases it is
actually dangerous for the train men to
interfere with the tramps. A dozen or
two will board freight train on the roads
at night and if an attempt is
made by the train crew to
dislodge them, it very frequently happens
that the tramps show fight and refuse to
go. In many instances they carry their
point and ride until they are ready to get
off
People who live in the suburbs declare
that it is almost dangerous to leave their
houses III the evening, and several in
stances are reported where tramps have
called at houses and finding the man OF
the house absent, have demanded food of
the lady il such a manner that IS was
dangerous to refuse. In one or two in
stances these insolent fellows have enforc-
ed their demands by display of weapons.
The police are doing all possible to pro-
tect the outlying districts but with the
limited force and large amount OF territory
to be covered by each officer, il is almost
impossible to properly look after aud keep
the district free from the work OF the army

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Jealous and discomtitted fusionists
are making strong effort to get Mr.. Sill
Norwood, the stalwart nominee for sheriff,
of the track. Their plan is to induce d:
many nominees as possible to decline and
it is good one if they can succeed. They
have experience in this liue from last
spring when so many of their own nomi.
ness for municipal offices withdrew.
Henry Huffman, who was on the report
orial staff of the EAGLE for few years,
wiz be an assistant to MS father in the in
ternal revenue Office.
The stalwart Democrats here received a
letter from Washington yesterday that
would make the fusIonists turn pale IL
they could see it. DR.. Burroughs might
let them look at it il, 10 his opinion, the
shock it would give TO their nerves would
not be too great.
Sumner county will follow the lead of
Sedgwick by putting a straight Demo-
cratic ticket in the field.
There is some talk o. starting q new
Democratic paper in this city, to be pub
lished weekly. II it is done one of the
papers already established will be bought,
as an entirely new paper couldn't do any
legal printing for year.

WANTED TO DIE.
A North Main Street DIR ssnaker Starts Out
10 Commit IN eide.

when I will come back | will be dead
was the remark of a North Main street
dressmaker last night about i O'Clock and
saying these words she closed tie door
behind her with a siam and the extraordi-
nary rustic of her silk dress az she de-
cended the stairs showed that she was in
very bad humor.
The last thing the EAGLE man saw OF
her she was turning around the corner of
First and Main street evidently looking
for place where she might die III peace.
Sue did not know however that the four
eyes of two policemen were watching every
move she made and If they did not miss
their calculations she is still alive.
The story of her trouble is a long one
but as it is surrounded By the sanctity of
the home, be it ever SO humble, it would
not be well to expose the entire skeleton
that is in the closet. Every home proba-
bly, has family skeleton, but this skeIe-
ton is perhaps larger than the usual one.
She is a widow and supports three chill
dren and the trouble arose over the Oldest
one of these who left home a week ago be-
cause, as she alleges, it was not pleasant
for her She went to Winfield, where the
family formerly lived, in expectation of
making her own living, but the means of
earning livelihood there disappointed
her ana she returned home where quar-
rel between herself and her mother ensued
and resulted in quite a scene last night
that required the attention of the police.
Two younger children, IS and IL re-
spectiyely, We're seen hand in hand in the
dark stairway by an EAGLE man. and it
was truly sad to see them. They were
bright little girls and perhaps are respon-
sible for the fact that no names are given.
They were timid little creatures and sub
jects of compassion, for they really be-
heved that their mother might put her
threats Into execution. They became
laxative after cautious silence of a few
minutes and told the whole story, or as
much as their innocent little souls knew
of it, to an EAGLE reporter, and naturally
enough they took the mothers
side, which is commeEdable, no
matter what the circumstances
were. TWAS a sad story, but additional
sadness was lent to it by those who told
it. The mother may be wrong, or the
daughter perhaps, may be wrong, but
whichever one it is the result is great
injustice TO the two little girls who are
capable of becoming bright and intelligent
little ladies if they are given half show
by those whose duty it is to give them a
good example.

It is often said that childhood is the
happiest time of our life but to admit
this is to give TO happiness very mar
row definition. II 20 be unconscious OF
any thing but mere physical existence
Is to be happy. then one may possibly
allow that this IS so; but TO those who
look upon happiness as a positive in
stead of negative quality such view
seems scarcely reasonable The same
argument will hold good IL one declares
that only those people who are lowest
in intellectual capabilities and ideas
this may Be so. but the happiness IS
not OF that order that the class
of critics would crave either for
themselves or their immediate circle.
