MR. DOOLIN'S LEFT LEG.

Gladly the Eagle joins those Okla.
homa papers which have gone nobly
TO the rescue Of Bill Doolin's left leg.
1t is the Only leg that Mr.. Doolin has
left. figiratively speaking. and the dis
graceful tactics of the subsidized press
of this monopoly ridden land, to heap
calumny on that long, lank portion OF
Mr.. Doolin's individuality, should be
exposed.
Mr.. Doolin Is an outlaw. He has
been an outlaw now for about two
years. In that time he has had some
where near forty battles with the
deputy marshals, in the newspaper ac-
count Of each, the solemn, serious,
double-chinned statement appearing
that "Doolin was shot in the left leg"
1t has become the established Gus
tom of the energetic newspaper man of
Oklahoma to allow no battle with out
laws to pass by without dexterously
laying hold of Mr.. Doolin's respected
limb and hauling it into the midst of
the fray, to appear afterwards in the
description Of the slaughter as ''Doolin
was shot in the left leg"
So fixed in this custom, indeed Tor
forsooth, if you prefer IT. that it is re-
lated that one Oklahoma paper narrow
~ escaped scoop one night Of the
last week, on account of it. News of
another battle had reached the editor.
There was no mention Of Mr.. Doolin
in the narration and any thought of
the Doolin family naturally escaped

VeSuvius in Eruption.

terrace of Villa Lucia, i observed through
an excellent telescope the present inter
esting phase OF the long-cont;nued slow
eruption of Fesuvius. After the pause in
the new outbreak OF which / telegraphed

steam rose continually. During the
course of the day. new crater broke out
at the very foot OF the large cone. close

the lava ran rapidly to right and left.
forming a semicircle round the head of
the aforementioned eminence.
At night the spectacle was very beautt-
full. Above the observatory one could
see the precipitous side Of the cleft opened
by the burning lava. showing black
against the intense brightness OF the lava
itself. Hundreds of small cracks IN the
mass Of the incandescent lava radiated
in all directions. while 10 right and left
the lava, reaching sleeper ground. rolled
more rapidly in long horizontal lines,
from the fiery edge Of which pieces broke
and slid. Where Il reached the edge OF

with a white light easily distinguishabie

commenced to move again TO Europe,
the gold that Cleveland bought at such
an unwarranted sacrifice. and Mr..
Cleveland will be taking steps again to

American people are again to be heav-
lily tolled. First will come resolutions
Of boards of trades and chambers of

merding another issue OF gold bonds,
which the goldbug papers will second

SKIN-TIGHT OR SKIRT-WIDE.

No one believes that the present
boomer is permanent. 1t is at best
a compromise. 1t seeks to invade the
realm of mans attire but slightly, and
at the same time gracefully and mod
estIy
The Eagle is in possession Of French
magazine which shows the exact cut
of the Partisan girls boomers. The
calf of the leg Is enclosed IN tight-fit-
ting, light hose; displaying in all their
beauty the full curves and plumpness
of the calves. The upper part
of the boomers is not so baggy
as those worn in America. or at least as
far west as Wichita. The circumfer-
ence of the baggy leg is cut down sew
eral inches, revealing TO some extent
the outlines of the whole limb.
These are great deal more at
tractive than the American boomers.
They are also more braZen in several
particulars.
The American bloomer Is probably a
link in the evolution Of the real bloom
err, which certainly has not been dis
covered or perfected as yet. The
French bloomer is a higher type and
will in all likelihood lead to something
still more pronounced, as skin-tight
knickerbockerS without the least bulge
anywhere. At that time the fair Sis
ter may concede that she has fully
initiated her brother and consent to
quit.
AS link in this sartorial evolution
the American bloomer is an interesting
study. 1t is a delicate mechanicism
1t is a pair of surreptitious breeches,
which is ashamed Of its species With
subtle hypocrisy it seeks to conceal, by
deceit, what it hopes to reveal by sug-
co-.'on. Or, in other words, the
u 5mers that are seen in Wichita ap-
pear to be skirts, but are in reality
breeches; and would like to known as
breeches While still appearing to be
skirts.
Perhaps this duplicity Of boomers is
a sacrifice placed on the altar Of mod
esty; perhaps it is merely an effort to
educate public taste and palliate pub
lie horror by degrees. But at any
rate the baggy boomers are frauds and
must either bulge back into skirts and
swallow up the bifurcation, or tighten

BRAVE LITTLE HAWAII.

Gold is a tyrant and delights In
crowns and aristocratic government.
Gold has fastened it's greedy eyes on
struggling Hawaii and wealthy Royal
lists are plotting to blot out the brave
little island Republic. 1t is but a
small nation with a small army and
limited resources. but its rulers drew
their love of patriotism and freedom
from the United States. But the lust
Of the freebooter, gold, has marked its
people and institutions for a victim.
The wealthy scions of aristocratic
Europe have concluded that her in
terests would be best conserved by a
monarchy, so they are plotting 10 over
throw the Republic. They were COM
PEELED by force of arms to submit TO
4 Republic, but they are secretly and
constantly plotting TO overturn the gov
eminent and restore the old order Of
things. With their money they can
encourage filibustering expeditions.
There is some reason to believe that at
tempts have been made 10 organize
such expeditions in this country. AT
any rate the United States govern
ment has wisely taken the precaution
Of a strict search and watchful vigi-
lance against anything OF that sort
While President Cleveland has never
been pleased with the establishment
of a Hawaiian Republic, he Is to be
commended for taking measures to
prevent the fitting out Of filibustering
expeditions designed 10 harass and an
noy the little Republic of the Pacific.

And rou .ca;n are other barriers be-

And now again are other barriers be-
ing broken down. A conspicuous fea-
ture of the Congress of Religions. now
in session at Toronto. is the spirit of
Christian unity that pervades it.
Catholics and Protestants meet on the
same platform and discuss religious
questions with the same common pur-
pose.
Some representative Roman Catho-
lies have taken part in this congress.
and the result of their meeting with
Protestants in the discussion of relig-
ious themes is a gradual breaking
down of the barriers of prejudice and
intolerance that have heretofore been
reared between the churches. Mem
bers Of the Christian church, by what
ever denomination they are called, are
striving together for the same end.
The more often they can lay aside
theological differences and meet on
the broad platform of common faith
and trust, and the desire TO make hu-
mainly better, the better it will be for
the world.

HORRIBLE MURDERS.

The people of the United States are
to be confronted with the details OF
two of the most horrible murders OF
rather human slaughter ever recorded
in the annals OF crime. The cold
blooded and deliberate work Of the
Bender family, Of eastern Kansas, will
fall faint in some respects. when com
pared TO the atrocious crimes with
which Holmes and Durrant are
charged. Every day now will the in
terest in the developments of these
eases grow and be intensified. The
awful work of Holmes seems but half
unearthed. but the fiendish deeds Of
Durrant stand out. Blanche Lamont
and Minnie Williams are no more but
their names will be daily upon the
lips of millions. In addition to these
the fate of others in the same
connection is wrapped in mystery that
Durrant's trial may uncover. His trial
will soon be on. The mutilated body
Of Minnie Williams was found one
day in the belfry of Baptist church
in San Francisco Of which Durrant
was 4 bright member. On the day
following the remains Of Blanche La
mont, who disappeared ten days pre-
vious, or on April Bro, was found in
the same belfry. Durrant had beC1
an intimate friend Of both of these
girls and was seen to enter the church
with Miss Williams the evening pre-
vious to the discovery of her body.
The evidence is all circumstancial. but
there seems to be few If any links
lacking. Durrant was the librarian
and Sunday school superintendent of
his church, which fact proved his shield
for some time, but the church OrganiSt
viii swear to incidents which it seems
Durrant can never clear away, in con-
nection with the disappearance OF Miss
Lamont AS for Miss Williams muir
der two witnesses will swear that they
saw Durrant and his victim enter the
church together Oh the night Of the
tragedy. The man who at Vera Cruz
confessed to the murder OF these two
innocent girl proves to be a lunauc
and the chances seem all in favor Of
the conviction of Durrant. \ strange
feature of the two notorious crimes IS
that Holmes is charged with murder
ing a Minnie Williams and there IS a
remote possibility of her identity being
proved that of one of the women, with
whose murder Durrant is charged.
