WICHITA MAN HONORED.
Minis erial Mantle OF the Famous Maverick
and MaIher Fail Up,n His shoulders.

The Eagle is in receipt of the pro-
gram of the installation of Mr.. Eugene
Shipper who was such a favorite in
this city for his excellent social and
Democratic traits and sterling man
hood, as minister of the First parish
in Dorchester, Mass, which event took
place on Dec. 6, in the evening. An
idea of the honor conferred upon the
young minister cannot be conveyed by
giving the names of the distinguished
persanages who participated in the
installation ceremonies, but it can be
given by saying that the church over
which he has been called to preside is
one of the oldest Protestant institutions
in the country, having been founded
264 years ago. It's first pastor was
the famous John Maverick and its third
the still more famous Richard Mather.
John Danforth, Moses Everett and
Nathaniel We're also pastors of the
church. In fact the parish has been
presided over by a longer line Of dis
tinguished ministers than any other
parish in the republic. MIR. Shipped,s
boasts of friends here, where he made
his beginning in the ministry, are
proud Of him and feel quite sure that
he will bear the mantle of Maverick
and Mather with credit to himself and
honor to them.
