WHEN you want TO know what
Christianity is, look at Christ; not al
the hypocrites in the church.
THEOLOGY is what men understand
the bible to teach about God. Saliva
ton is what we know of Him.
The Bible has nothing to say about
''pink teas" but there is much III it
about the ''feast of fat things"
By observing how he treats the poor,
is probably the way angels find out
what rich man thinks of Christ.

HE WAS FIRED OUT.
A Gentleman of Color Forcibly E5ected
from the Elite Restaurant.

Yesterday at the dinner hour, Robert
Mccain, proprietor Of the Elite restau-
rant and lunch room at III Nortn
Main assisted a colored man TO leave
the establishment. An operator AT the
Western Union Office came in TO get
dinner and with him was the EBONY
hued gentleman mentioned.
The stools at the lunch counter were
all occupied when the men came In and
they walked through TO the dining
room. Here were County Attorney
Davis, Judge Jones, the cashier or the
Citizens bank and number or other
prominent men of the city. The men
had sat down at the table and were
waiting for their orders to be taken
when Mr.. Mccain espied them. He
was busy at the time and told his
brother Fred to inform the colored man
that he would have to go out in the
kitchen to eat. Upon Fred complying
with his request, the Western Union
operator became very angry and de-
manded the reason why he couldn't
bring a friend in to eat with him and
said that he would pay for his order.
By this time Bob was at leisure and he
endeavored to explain that it was the
rules of the house for the negroes, when
there Were any, to eat in the kitchen.
Still mad. the operator said that the
negro would either eat there or he
would know the reason why. MI NC
Cain then became angry and taking
the colored gentleman by the shoulders
he pushed him to the door and closed
the same on his back. Then the opera
tor was hot. His dire threats proved of
no avail, however, and Mccain was
about to give him the same kind of
treatment when the man weakened and
said that he guessed he would eat his
order before having any trouble. After
finishing and paying for the meal he
went out. declaring that he would have
the proprietor arrested before night.
So far nothing has come of his threat.

A new and satisfactory way to clean
white hat feathers is to dip them in
lime water.
Make the solution quite thick and
allow the plumes to remain in the wash
for some time.
When thoroughly soaked lift them
gently out of the bath so the mixture
will partially adhere. Next lay the
fea theirs on a rough cloth, letting them
semsin until dry.
Then shake thoroughly and softly
beat against the cloth until all the par
ticles of dry lime have fallen Off A
sun bath of a few minutes viii restore
their freshness. and the usual amateur
process OF holding them over steam to
regain the curl will result in their be-
ing almost as good as new.
In curling feathers with steel, it
should be remembered that only the
blunt side of the instrument should be
used.
a wise receipt to follow in preparing
feathers for beds is this: Water is sat
urated with quicklirne; the feathers are
well stepped and stirred for three or
four days: they are taken out, drained
and washed in clean water, dried on
nets or dry cloth, shaken occasionally
while drying and finally beaten 10
rxpel any dust. This is for amateur
treatment: the most efficient method
is to have them steamed by machines

pellate court at Wichita meets with the
approval of the lawyers and it is be
lieved that the bill now before the legis-
lature for that purpose Will become a
law
A reporter for the Eagle saw Attor-
ney John Adams at the court house
yesterday and asked him what he
thought OF an appellate court, and in re
ply Mr.. Adams said:
That he considered il an absolute
necessity for this state. That a great
many of the states of the Union had
such courts that were created when the
same conditions that now confront US
In this state. confronted them. And
these courts have given absolute salts
faction 10 the bar and people where
yer they have been established.
The reporter further asked Mr.
Adams why he considered such a court
necessary in this state. Mr.. Adams
said:
That the constitution of this state pro-
vides for a supreme court Of three jus
tees with appellate jurisdiction from
the lower courts, and original jurisdic-
tion in certain cases. That while We
had one of the ablest supreme courts of
the several state OF the L mon, ana VINO
are all hard workers, yet the court is
unable 10 accomplish the vast amount
Of business that goes to that court with
in the proper time. That II now re-
quires five years before a civil case ap-
peaied from a lower court will be regiI-
larly reached for a trial in the supreme
court.
That such a condition of affairs is
practical denial of justice in a great
many cases. as frequently parties or
their bondsmen die or become worth
less. or witness move out OF the coun-
try. so that If the Judgment of the low
er court is reversed, the parties are left
remidileSs owing 10 the conditions that
take place, in a great many cases, after
the appeal To that court. That great
many cases are now appealed to the
supreme court for delay by Htieants.
and usually the poorer classes of peO-
pie suffer most by this delay of Justice
Hence, the peopIe of this state, as We'll
as the bar, are clamoring for an appel
late court, and they are not caring par
Jicularly as to the character OF the bill
nor the political complexion of the
court. so that an appellate court is es-
tablished. and are strongly opposed to
any opposition to this court for parti-
sian reasons.
