THEY ANSWER CALL
WICHITA BUSINESS MEN SUSPEND
TO ATTEND CHURCH.
Crowds Go to Hear Major Cole Expound the
Word--They Sing Refrain--What Kind
of Stun Do You Hide Misunderstanding
Doors Divide the Congregation and Make
Two Meetings--Second Meeting Larger
Than the First--Meetings Today in Diff
ferent Parts of the City--Meeting a
Grand Success in Every Particular.

Business men filled the body of the
NJ. E. church yesterday morning and
the ladies were compelled to take the
back seats. There was good response
to the requests to close business from
10 to Il. Prominent business and pro-
fessional men of the city were present.
Major Cole is never SO much at home
as when he is in the midst of a crowd.
From 10 to 1920 the audience was COM
ing in. This time was spent in singing.
Two refrains have been improvised
by the major for rally songs. They
read: Wichita for Christ, Wichita
for Christ; Pass Along the Watch
word, Wichita for Christ The other
rally note was adopted New Years eve
for 1895. 1t goes: Eighteen Ninety
five, Eighteen Ninety-fie; Jesus only
Jesus, Eighteen Ninety-fve." There
may not be much poetry about these
but they answer their purpose when
sung by large audience. These coup
lets were sung and resung as the peo-
pie gathered. Mr.. Shaver then sung
solo and Rev. Mr.. Gould read the
First Psalm. Major Cole then spoke
from the text, What is Man," At the
close of his discourse the ministers lin
ed UP before the altar and any who
wished to show their intentions or de-
sire to begin a Christian life shook
hands with them. Major Cole stood in
a chair and called, They are coming"
and then to see those who had been
side tracked" or off the track alto
gether, respond to the gospel invita-
tan.
The meeting continued until I o'clock.
The evening meeting was more large
iy attended ever than the morning one.
Before o'clock all the standing room
was taken and the vesubules We're
full.
Major Cole took his text from Sam.
x %: Behold. he hid himself among
the stuff" AS Saul was called to be
a king, SO God has called us to be
kings. What kind of stuff are you
hiding behind? This was one Of the
questions the speaker asked. When
the informal part of the meeting be-
gan there was little room for the work
ers to move in. The rear of the church
was soon separated by the sliding doors
and Rev. Mr.. Fazel took charge. This
divided the crowds and made work
possible.
The meetings for today will be in the
NJ. E. church. This afternoon at 3
o'clock Major Cole will be at the West
Side Presbyterian church and at at
the Emporia avenue NJ. z. church.

Bishop Hennessey Dangerously Sick In
Chicago--Ee VIII Recover.
Bishop Hennessey of Wichita is re-
ported to be dangerously i'll. His
friends here are alarmed and grieved
en- account of late reports of his con-
dition.
Bishop Hennessey is at present in st.
Jcseph's hospital in Chicago where he
has been for about two weeks. Tire
physicians claim that Bishop Hennes-
sey's peculiar ailment is gravel in tire
gall and the disease is considered dan
gerous in the extreme.
What will most alarm the Catholic
people and the bishops many friends
here is the report that the physicians
had decided that a surgical operation
will have to be performed. The oper-
alton is considered dangerous and is
only resorted TO in extreme cases.
Some of the surgeons here in Wichita
however, do not regard the case as
necessarily dangerous. One promin-
ent surgeon told an Eagle reporter last
night that he had several times per-
formed such operations and that no
serious consequences had resulted.
Bishop Hennessey is vigorously heal
thy man ordinarily and the physicians
think he will be able TO stand an opera
ton such as this and soon recover from
its effects.

that the island is big rock honey

sunrise and sunset from every crook

The Academy OF Music was crowded
yesterday afternoon with the most
fashionable portion of Philadelphia s
female population, who gathered TO hear
Mrs. Jenness Miller talk on the subject
of Dress for Beauty and Health" And
perhaps the audience profited no more
from the talk than they did from the
practical illustrations OF Mrs. Miller's
idas as shown by her beautiful form.

The members Of the city council AZ
holding little caucuses in regrd to
contracts soon to be let. There are
several things that ought to be done
but economy is nov the rule with the
city solons.
One occasionally runs across two or
three members holding a private eau
Gus. They have pass books from which
long list of names are read. These
are the names of men who want TO
work in some capacity for the city The
council has adopted the rule to give
employment to the most needy. One
councilman yesterday objected to con-
sidering the name of one man reported
for work by a member from another
ward because the man was living with
a woman without going to the incon-
venience Of having the marriage cere-
mony performed. Then the member
whose report was being considered in
dignantly declared there was an at
tempt to run this city on such a high
moral STANDARD that after a while peo-
pie would have TO show a marriage GER
tificate of good moral character from
the w. c. T. L., or some other authori-
ty on virtue in order to get work on the
streets.
Doctor Minick is urging the absolute
necessity of repairing the hose house on
South Topeka. He thinks the location
is just right and that the north wall
can be torn down and rebuilt at cost
not exceeding $500 when the building
Will be as good or better than when first
erected. The fire company which form
erly coupled this building is now To-
Gated on North Main street in build
ing for which the city Is paying rent.
Some of the cOuncilmen claim that
the rent will soon cost enough money
to repair the hose house on South Tope-
ka and that the money will be better
spent in repairing the building owned
by the city.
The contracts for furnishing the city
lumber and coal has already expired.
Bids will probably be advertised for at
the next meeting. Sawyer and McLain
want the expenses in this line cut down.
The contract for furnishing lumber is
now held by Oliver Brothers and L. c.
jackson furnishes the coal. MinicK
says the lumber furnished the city last
year cost about $1,000. City Clerk
Smith thinks the coal bill will not ex-
coed $500. The lumber has been most
ly used in repairing sidewalks and the
coal was used in the city building and
to keep the boys at the hose houses
warm.
There will also be an effort to econo-
mize on the part of the water and light
committees. Some of the councilmen
have become tired of the blinkers and
want to get rid of them. Then the Sui
livan dam contract has not proven
brilliant success in the line of economy
and that matter may be reconsidered
in the near future. Everything indi-
Gates that there will be some lively
council meetings in the near future.

THE DEER OF SCOTLAND.
They Are Seldom to BE Seen In Their wild
State.

They Are Seldom to BE Seen In Their wild
State.
OF the four-footed game the largest
is the deer. The roebuck is the only
member of the family in truly wild
condition. His small size, nimbleness
and ungregarious habits enable him to
wander from one place to another with
a measure of impunity. In wooded
valleys and within reach of the hills
he seems to be we'll able to look after
himself. He abounds in the northern
countries-in Perthshire. the highland
districts of Aberdeenshire and Forfar-
shire, and is thinly scattered over the
central valley.
The red deer, or stag, has by no
means the same claim to be regarded
as wild animal as in the days when
the commons king made his memora BILE
excursion through the Trossachs. He
is now cooped up in savage businesses,
with mountain fences three thousand
feet high, behind which he Only
wanders in an exceptionally hard win
ter. The forests with which I am
acquainted would neither maintain .
crofter nor even reimburse a sheep
farmer. and are simply incapable Of
being put to any other use.
In the middle of the day the deer are
seldom to be seen, except by a prac-
ticed eye, as they are at rest and lying
quietly among the rough heath, or it
NAV be in the shadow of some birch
copse. In the early morning or on
the approach OF the evening they feed
downward to the grassy sides of the
rivers and burns. Their scent is
sharper than their sight. They detect
the intruding botanist or geologist
long before they see him, and, by their
actions, apprise the keeper that a tres
passer is at hand. The fallow deer is
still further from the true feral condi-
ton, and can only be regarded as an
ornamental domestic animal. kept to
give picturesqueness TO the park
around the mansion. His grass is pro-
vided for and his water is sUre.-Gen-
