Is MANKIND RErRoGRADING?
A Serious Question for all Good People to
Consider.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

! To the Editor of the Eagle.
4 Wichita pastor of an orthodox
! church preached a sern"n last Sunday
morning, 3h,en contained some start
! ling declarations and made food Tor
thought.
He declared the church, as body, was
retrograding and, at the present time,
was not nearly as pure and etficacious in
combating evil and developing Christ
ian character as il was when first estao-
lshed. nearly two thousand years ago
| That il had become so corrupt, selflsn
and worldly. in its methods, and so large
a per cent Of its membership were I'M
worthy, that it was a question in the
minds % some whether the young Christ
ian would not d. better to remain out
side of il. quoting the language of a
prominent clergyman in support of his
statement.
Now. if all this be true. it is very dis
cnaracine. That the church has not
reached the high place il ought 10 occu-
~. is not welding the influence for
good. nor developing the high standard
of unseIfish. Christian characters, the
world has a right u demand of il, after
all il has claimed and promised, and all
the recognition and substantial aid it
has received. IS a fact no one in the
church or out of it viii deny.
But the picture as drawn by the good
pastor was not all dark-the case not III
tcriy hopeless He admitted. as an ed
Irrational factor and promoter Of NOR
ais. the church was doing a grand work.
That 4 corrupt institution can he pro-
moter Of morals Is somewhat paradox
cal. but careful analysis of this state
ment may disclose a deeper meaning
than the speaker intended: may even
suggest remedy for the evils he so
sharply rebuked. without. however, Of
f1ring anything more helpful than the
old creeds and dogmas which seem TO
have been Intellectual so far. There mus

place Of mysticism, blind faith and emo
tional experience.
Then the Christian viii dare "a ignore
traditional theology. rejecting creeds and
theories that will not bear the light Of
science and common sense, and VIII de-
mand that Bible TRANSACTIONS be freed
from ecclesiastical bias and espionage

criticism as O:her ancient writings.

THE POOR GIRL SENSATION
What Has Been Done and What Should be
Done.

Society is always ready to jump at
conclusions, and the poor girl story is a
fruitful source of local iniquity.
Prominent people have been mention
ed as authors of the poor girls tribula-
tons. but in the absence of any COM
plants in legal form no one can say a
word. The officers have tried to force
the matter but without an answer show
ing any degree of responsibility.
Chief of Police Campbell was inter
viewed by an Eagle reporter, and he
said:
Il have sent a man to investigate the
thing"
Has not the man reported?"
''No. 1t is one of those cases you can
not hurry up"
But can't you find out whether
wrong was committed or not?''
Now, let me tell you." said the chief,
AZ am not going TO chase phamtoms, but
if any direct accusations come TO me
will fololw them TO a finish. This idea
of heresay is all bosh and we will not
have it, No one is more willing than
1 am 10 do justice 10 the wronged party.
but how can l do it without complaint
according TO law?"

The ddedaesaay gornimo february 1897

| by Mr.. J. H. Tacker and the violin solo
| by Master Bissantz. were all very per-
| fectly rendered, much 10 the delight OF
the audience.
A speech by Rev. Beach of this city on
the good Of the order followed, and il
was replete with logis and sound
thought from beginning TO end, and it
must be said that Mr.. Beach did himself
great credit as well as the order Of which
he is a member.
Following the vocal solo by Miss Fran
els Aldendifer, the selection by the Male
quartette, and the closing chorus, all OF
which were highly delightful to the au-
dience, the grand march to supper was
begun, and the first table full repaired
10 the banquet hall. The hall was most
sujerbly beautiful. The walls were dec
GRATED with flags and evergreen, but the
tables were, TO use an expression known
to the vernacular of the times, clear out
of sight, and later this expression was a
reality. as far as the delicacies and sub
stantiais were concerned. There were
chickens and some of Dold's very best
ham. bread, butter, jell, salad, cake, cof-
fee. apples, oranges and bananas until
you couldn't rest-that is If one was any
way likely TO be hungry But no one
was allowed to leave without first being
seated at the table and partaking. II
was a great spread, two hundred covers
at time, and three tables were arrang-
ed.
The tables themselves were beautifully
decorated. All along the center at regu-
lar intervals stood large palms, and
these alternated with cake stands heap
ed high with that familiar and welcome
dainty, and the fruit also was to be
found along the tables in abundance.
When tine guests were seated at the
table it was certainly a beautiful pic
ture from the side OF the room. The ami
mated faces in conversation across the
tables in plain view close by and the
view OF the faces being caught here and
there among the palms and flowers far
ther away, made 1t a scene to be franz
ed in velvet and hung upon the corridor
of memory, there TO remain.
UpCn entering there Il was simply i'm
possible - get away. The tables were
taken charge Of by the ladies, and when
one entered he was under the guidance
OF one OF the gentlemn, but ne was soon
turned over to the ladies, and made 70
feel peIfectly at home The Fraternal
Aid can well feel proud Of their ladies for
their wolnanliness in the full sense OF the
term, as also their beauty and mental
accomplishments. Several of the ladies
made a1dIesses during the early part Of
the evening, but a list could not be OBJ
tanned. The handsome faces and bright
sparkling eyes Of the young ladies who
bad charge OF the tables added no small
amount to the beauty Of the entire
scene. 1t was great event, and 10 say
that those present fully enjoyed them
selves. would be casting reflection upon
the affair. rather than a word Of praise.

HE DINED WITH LEEDY
DIR. St. John Adp1ires the New Executive
of the State.

DR.. st. John, member Of the state
board of health, was in Topeka during
the past three days, AMI during his So
journ at the capital he dined with the
governor, along with other members OF
the board. The governors entertain
ment was most hospitable. and DR.. st.
John thinks him a remarkable man. He
says the governor listens to propositions
TO go fishing and hunting. but when Of
flee is mentioned his actijrs remind the
doctor OF Abe Lincoln. Tie governor
gets all the Information he can from Wis
itors, but says nothing, apparently di-
gesting what drifts into his ears. There
was one thing, however, that seemed 10
puzzle and perplex the governor, IN the
interview he'll with the state board of
physicians, and that was increase of in
sanity. Her. SAID he, the stare is
paying s125, 900 for the support OF the in
sane and dependent outside OF the regu-
iarly organized institutions for their
care Il is perplexing-"
This led TO a long discussion, taking a
wide range and reaching the care of the
poor and the helpless. What seemed 10
weigh heavy on the governors mind
was the fact that so many persons need
ed that kind of aid when the state is so
ably prepared TO care for the insane at
the states institutions.
