4 Wichita Niutstar Receives an Interesting
ettrr IRON, Honolulu.

Rev. George Z. Smith. pastor Of the
Lincoln Street Presbyterian church,
was in receipt OF letter yesterday
from his cousin. Emma Dillingham;,
dated Honolulu. Feb. 2lst, in which she
goes over the entire situation, the
political and industrial situation in
that island. telling sincerely all about
the rebellion gotten up in the interest
Of ex-Oueen Lii. She says that the last
one apprehended was her fat majesty,
who was held prisoner in her former
palace. Among other things found on
search was a letter which she had writ
ten Rudolph SpreckleS who furnished
the arms which had enabled the natives
to make a show of war. Mrs. Donlinis
wilted when confronted with her own
enisrle Mrs. Dillingham; says that
there is no question as TO LIS being at
the bottom and the instigator OF the
whole movement 10 overthrow the gov
eminent. The English people show
strong sympathy for the ex-Gueen. Had
she succeeded her first work would

a FINANCIERING EVANGELIST.
Many in That Day VIII Claim to Have Cast
Cat Devils in Ny Name.

The Eagle cannot afford 10 give space
10 the Endorsements received of its
ideas touching evalgeliZation and pow
erty. OF course no reflections were in
tended and the article seems to have
been accepted in the spirit in which il
was written. We must keep up our
churches and support our ministers in
such a liberal way as will retain the
best talent in our pulpitS- This done
and we viii hold our own against the
world, the flesh and the devil" even

GONE TO LARGER FIELD.
E. l.. Mckezie and Family Leave for Their
New Home in New York.


Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs Z. l. Mac
kenZie and their bright little boy Ken
meth started for New York where they
will probably make their permanent
home. Mr.. Mackenzie has had several
fiattering inducements 10 do newspa-
per work in the metropolis and VIII
probably accept one of them. He has
been in Wichita eight years and for
seven years was the editor or the Mir
ror as well as special correspondent
for many eastern papers. He was a
young man of considerable newspaper
ability not only in finding news, but
in writing il up in an interesting,
scholarly and spicy manner. Mack
was also a man with keen sense or
honor. having been well raised in the
highest circles of English society.
Many people were slightly prejudiced
against him, thinking he was an Eng
iishman, but the fact is not drop OF
English blood was in his veins. He
was, 10 a great extent, the victim or
the foolish prejudice. He enjoyed some
of the warmeSt friendships a man ever
possessed among men who knew him
and saw deeper into him than his than
his supposed nationality. There was
also some prejudice against him be
cause he did not become citizen OF
the United States but only among those
who did not know the circumstances
and the great personal and family in
terest he would jeopardiZe by doing so.
The fact is some people never under
stood Mr. Mackenzie, but those who
did found him TO be "a man of rare per-
sonal merit. He had many friends and
companions and no man could be more
loyal and true TO them than he was.
Mrs. Mackenzie was a lady of Gull
ture. refinement and high qualities of
mind and heart, and a host of warm
lady friends will regret her departure
from Wichita. That success will at
tend them and a prosperous and pleas
ant life be their lot in their new home
are the wishes OF their Wichita friends.
