Honored at Home.

The Chillfcothe (Mo.) Tribune devotes
columns to the subject and is elated
over the honor for one of their own
people. In one article the Tribune says:
'@Since Miss Whitney has been asked to
become Carnival Queen considerable is
being said about the Concert band ac-
companying her to Topeka and leading
the flower parade. OF course, no plan
has been proposed and it is not known
whether a popular subscription will be
taken to defray the bands expenses or
whether the Topeka Karnival will in
vite them. 1t is a great honor to Chill
licothe to have Miss Whitney queen of
the Kansas Karnival and many of our
citizens will no doubt be seen in Topeka
on parade night. The band ought to go.
The Tribune early in the fight cham
pioned the cause of Miss Whitney,
simply because we considered it no dis
grace to labor

An Object Lesson.

In an editorial in the same issue Sep
TENDER 18th, the Chillicothe paper con-
tinues: still more honor is in store
for Miss Edna Whitney. Several days
ago she was chosen to act as first court
lady to Queen LOrena of the Topeka
Karniva1 knights parade on October
LIST. Late dispatches say that the lady
who will act as Queen Lorena has not
been named and that Miss Whitney
will fill the place. Governor Leedy and
many other prominent Kansans have
taken the case in hand and all favor
Miss Whitney, the 'Chillicothe working
beauty for the honorable position. Gov.
Leedy says he would rather do honor to
the Queen of England. A committee of
Topeka ladies and gentlemen Will call
on Miss Whitney and escort her to the
Kansas capital. An elegant cab drawn
by four white horses beautifully plumed
and otherwise handsomely decorated,
with the cabman and attendants at
Miss Whitney's disposal during her
visit in Topeka. She will be royalty
entertained during her visit by some
of the wealthiest families of the sun
flower states capital Topeka will give
Kansas City an object lesson in the
entertainment of working girls
The Karnival knights are greatly
pleased with the manner in which the
Chillicothe paper speaks of Miss Whit
ney and Topeka's invitation. The
Knights are anxious that the working
people of Topeka lend all the aid pos
sible and suggest that each one who
purchases a button will add that much
to the fund. The sale of sufficient but
tons alone will raise all the money
needed

WHAT THEY THINK.
The ChillicOthe Press Elated
Over Topeka's Action.
Hiss Whitney HOnored by Her
Home Paper,
Which Talks of a Band and Popular
Subscription.

The Chillicothe (Mo.) press is elated
over the invitation of the Topeka Kar-
nival Knights to Miss Edna Whitney of
that city.
The Argentine (Kan.) Republic, pub
Hshed in the suburbs of Kansas City,
has the following to say, declaring that
la boring men and women should stay
away from the Kansas City show:"Mi
whitney, beautiful lady of Chilli
cothe, Mo-, was selected by the mayor
and best citizens of the town as a maid
of honor in the Kansas City carnival,
but Mr.. Willie Salisbury HalliweIl the
soft solder chairman, telegraphed the
good people of Chillicothe as follows:
The business occupation of the
young lady is considered barrier The
young lady in question was working
with her shapeIy hands to pay off a
mortgage on her widowed mothers
home. The line is sQuarely drawn and
no 1aboring man or woman should hon
or that horse show with their presence
after that kind of a gratuitous insult"

What a Preacher Said.

REV. w. r. Jinnett, pastor of the
Springfield Avenue Christian church,
Kansas City, preached Sunday night on
The Uses of Life taking as his text the
words of Paul: Neither count I my
life as dear unto myself Acts 20-24. At
ter cOndemning selfishness the minister
emphasized the seriousness of life and
in this connection referred to the recent
decision of the K. K. K. committee in
reference to Miss Whitney of Chilli
Gothic, and condemned that decision in
very emphatic language. The very idea
of ostracising a young lady of unques-
tionable character because she had the
courage to work for the support of
mother and younger sister, was prepos-
ferrous and a blot on the fair name of
Kansas City and American institu-
tinrlG

Found an Abandoned Schooner.

New York, Nov. 19.-Thc tugboat Rob-
ert Haddon. Captain George Harrington,
belonging to Myers Excursion and Nnvi-
CATION, yesterday afternoon was cruising
about outside Sandy Hook, when the
lookout saw tow. Off Long Branch,
deep in the water schooner was sight
ed swinging aimlcssly about, with sails
down and her iib hanging down over the
bow. On approaching nearer she was dis
covered to be the schooner Matthew Vas
Sar. Jr, of Portland, Me-, lumbcr-ladcn,
and abandoned. a big hole had been
torn in her bow, as if by some great
force, which indicated that some vessel,
probably Il steamer running out of New
York. bad run into her, creating such
alarm among her crew that they had
abandoned her. 1t may be that in cs-
Gaping safely the crew were taken on
board the colliding vessel, as nothing thus
far has been heard of them. Captain
Harrington towcd tile prize to Hoboken.
The Mattchw Vassur, Jr., was built at
roughkccIsie in 1850, and registered 122
tons. She is owned by Captain HowrS.
who commanded her. and was bound from
II Virginia port for New York when aban-
dolled. She carried Il crew of six men.
