Scenes Around the Carey at the Departure of
Lawyers and Ltigalts.
The three past weeks have been busy
ones at the Carey aud all the other hotels
for that matter.
Yesterday they settled down to their
normal business. Cots were stored away,
blankets rolled up and put in closets and
the cooks, walters, chambermaids, bell
boys and clerks drew a long breath an d
smiled in anticipation of having an easier
time.
the hotels were taxed to their utmost
capacity. Guests slept singly and doubly
in cots and in fact any way or in any place
they could Sleep
During all that time there were at
least fifty outside lawyers in town every
night. to say nothing of litigants
and witnesses. In order to expedite the
business of the court, Judge Williams
made no assignment of the docket. the
result being that everybody having bust.
ness in the court had to remain in town to
watch their cases. This made matters
rather costly for ltigants, but the quality
pensated the winning side for the financial
outlay made.
Everyb body went home last night, and it
was interesting to watch them get away.
A wilderness of valises were ranged on the
north side of the office counter, and it
required a colored porter, with an
eye like hawk, to keep them from
running away with the other fellow S
satchel. When train was announced
some lawyer who wanted to leave broke
away from a political argument, grabbed
the first satchel he could lay his hands
on and skipped, only to be nailed at the
door by the porter and informed that he
had the wrong one. Then he would
come back and get his own and fairly
fly with a wave of his hand and $50
long" at the other lawyers. Judge Will
Jams appeared in the hotel Office about
$40, bid all the attorneys good bye
joked some of them about the
poor quality of high five they played
shook his sides with laughter when he re-
called some mistake some fellow made in a
game of whist, and finally with very
kind Goodbye to ALL" he left for the
depot.
DR.. Neeley and w. C. Perry were the
last ones to leave and at 10 O'Clock they
remained solitary and alone by themselves,
standing in the middle Of the floor, smok-
ing good cigars and evidently glorifyiug
Grover Cleveland for the excellent appoint
ments, in their opinion, which he made in

For the Eagle:
THE STRONG ARM OF THE Law.

Listen to that famous MILL
Six columns every day.
Ii was an educated fight,
Where men went Wild" they say.
If every man who owes 2rudSe
Could influence the press,
And have six trainers for a year,
And then a priest. to bless
II, when he down 10 breakfast sat,
The earth would cease to snore,
While he tossed off barbecue.
And sweetly plead for more

The trainers always kind)
Why. he'd get twenty thousand cash.
Instead of getting fined.
No waters used-but whisky straight,
To keep this mill in motion,
While officers. in high estate,
Are winners. I've notion;
And the state will advertise it
BY calling ont the troops,
We'll knowing that the officers
win act as slluggcrs' dupes.
And watch the fight right thro' the cracks
Until the :hick blood oozes-
Until murd'rous hate of each

Till one is carried out Tor dead,
BY what the world calls science.
The Law then toddles after them.
And says, with chaste defiance:
'Mr. Sluggers, please let US arrest you;
We Wish to make a fine:
That is, we arrest the dead gentleman

And now, a question haunts the mind,

Bureau.

Bureau.
Mr.. j. w. Hopkins, OF the free lodging
house, called yesterday morning to thank
the EAGLE for its good words and encour-
agement, and to tell us something of his
plans, and of what he and his companions
hope TO do in the future for the relief of
the destitute who may come to them for
food and shelter
Hopkins, who is bright looking, earn
est faced man, and who has plenty of re-
serve force, did not criticize the EAGLE
Tor catalogueing him as an eX-tramp ETC.,
but only seemed pleased that he had
found friend aud sympathizer in his
work. He says he knows the members of
the tramp fraternity and can from personal
experience readily spot the undeserving.
He desired the EAGLE especially say that
in connection with their charity they
wanted to make it kind of labor bureau,
SO that anybody wanting a man for odd
jobs. or for days work or so, or for
permanent place could be accommodated,
and he would be much oblighed for the in
formation as he is certain that he can
supply all such wants Besides that he
wants cash, coal, cast-off clothing, groceries
and provisions of all sorts and
a heating stove for their class meeting
room in which they hold services twice
every day. He is enthusiastic in his belief
that he can help many poor fellow to see
a better way, and induce them to lead
virtuous and temperate lives.
The EAGLE promised to receive any con-
trlbutions of cash or the like for the free
lunch and lodging house, in addition to Its
agency for tine Salvation Army.
A little book of memoranda was shown
in which the cost of everything from Jan.
Sth to the 18th is put down. The enter
prise depends entirely on unsolicited dona-
tions. Counting lumber for beds and like
items the cash expenditures up to the
above or last named date we're $1971, with
cash on hand yesterday morning OF sl2.6o.
Two hundred and four meals were served
in that sixteen days and one hundred and
forty nine people had been lodged over
night. The exhibit shows for itself.
The South Lawrence free lunch and
bunk home for the houseless and hungry
should not be forgotten by the charitable
who are making or who desire TO make
small contributions that are warranted to
go long way.

MUST PAY THE TAX
AN OLD LAW TO BE ENFORCED BY
COMMISSIONER SNYDER.
If He Makes it Stick. Wichita VIII
be Assisted Materially in the
Maintainance of the Fire
Depar.ment-What He
and Others Think.

Judge Suider, state insurance commits
sioner, was at the Carey last night, having
come down from Topeka on private bust
ness matters.
After disposing of his business he was
willing to talk on insurance. He said
that his mind is now almost solely occu-
pied with the question of enforcing the
law of 1871 against foreign insurance coln-
panies .and he is very anxious to see
Wichita take interest in the matter. This
law, it appears, is OF reciprocity nature
and imposes tax of 2 per cent
on all insurance companies that have head
quarters in a state which imposes tax oa
insurance companies of other states doing
business there.
Judge Snider's idea is to collect the back
tax. and in this way nearly S2O0. 900 could
be brought into the state and divided up
among the cities of the state which main
tain fire department, according to the
length of time such department is in ex-
istence
disposition of this tax among towns only
that have a fire department for the pro-
lection of property against fire.
The only point Judge Snider is bothered
about is whether the matter is not out
lawed. eff cannot collect the money
back for the full twenty-one years" said
he, Il am quite sure that can succeed in
collecting it for three years back"
This will give Wichita S15, 900 cash, and
neat snm annually to support the fire
department.; for. it appears, this tax is de-
signed not to go into the general fund of
the city, but goes exclusively to the sup
port Of the fire department. The idea evi.
IDENTIFY is that, as the fire department, by
protecting the property of the city.
makes insurance good investment
that the companies should maintain the
department. Judge Snider is an en-
thusiast in the matter, and he is very de-
sirous that the people generally take hold
of the idea and push it,
Pat Healy, who is an authority on all
insurance business, was seen last night
and the idea u1folded to him. He
caught it up easily and thought
that it was the proper thing
to do. II have five companies, alone"
said he, that would pay s4OO each on the
business they do here, and if / am not
mistaken there are nearly 100 companies
doing business in the city. OF course, all
these would not be subject to tho tax as
they are not all in states that impose
similar tax and would therefore be ex-
empt. ] am quite sure, however. that 2
per cent tax would bring revenue of $10,-
900 year, and this would go long way
toward paying the expenses of our fire de-
Dartment.

JUDGE WILLIAMS GOES SKATING,
He Comes Very Near Fracturing the Big Ar

noon.
well, what on earth is he doing with
those skates?"
1t was unusual to see 9 portly, dignified
United States Judge sailing up the street
with a pair of skates dangling at his side
Judge Williams had just bought them
and had started out for fun. He got it.
He bore down Douglas avenue to Main
street under full canvas; reefed his jib sail
at the corner. tackled to the wind and cut
lightly down Main street.
He had United States Attorney Perry in
tow. Judge Williams stopped at the river
bank, just south of Lewis street where a
great crowd OF boys were cutting up didoes
on the ice.
After putting like a dummy engine on
an up grede, the portly judge finally
strapped his skates on. They were loose,
and he stuck a lot of kindling wood under
the straps to tighten them. Then he
pushed out on the ice and began hair
raising race with himself. At first his
feet slipped about three feet ahead of the
rest of his body and set lively pace
Then his body gained quickly on his feet,
ran even with them, and with a lunge
passed in front. A second later his feet
came up at a breakneck gait and shot
ahead.
The Judge began to wobble, and looked
wild. Then his body shot ahead again
Suddenly one of his legs got out of gear.
Ts shot outward and upward and circled
in the air. There Was black scramble on
the landscape and the judge came down
on the ice with a noise like u cow hooking
the insides of grand piano.
Attorney Perry was not skating. But
he was on the bank, and be shook aud
laughed till his chest protector worked
down around his left ankle.
After reunlting his backbone, the Judge
got TO his feet. wiggled around cautiously.
finally got the hang of the thing aud
spent an hour cutting figure eights, doing
the grapevine and seeing how near he
could come to a hole in the ice

A. II. Cossar Tells OF Battle That Was tn,

Chickasaw nation.
1t was the first great interne tional
fight. Few remember it now, but at the
time it caused as much talk as :he Cor

fight was between Heenan, champion OF
America, and Tom Sayers, champion of
England. 1t took place on April II, 1850,
near Aldershot, in England. l remem Der
it well because l was a betting man then
and all my money was at stake.
"a great crowd of spectators, including
lords, earls and cabinet ministers, watched
the contest. Both men were in good
training and made probably the most
vicious fight ever seen.
"Of course, the facilities were poor an
the place where they fought was the side
of hill. Heenan, on a toss won the
corner where the sun was behind nim and
where he had the rise in the ground.
Il think it was in the sixth round that
Sayres swung his fist into Heenan's side.
Heenan doubled clear over in sheer pain;
then recovering himself, he dashed into
Sayers, rammed his fist against Sayers'
right arm and tore away the tendon of a
muscle After that the arm was useless.
With that one arm limp, Sayers went at
Heenan and almost battered his eyes shut,
Both men in the forty-second round fell
unconscious in the middle OF the ring, and
the fight was declared draw.
