Our esteemed contemporary the Reg

that it was not written by graduate

BURNING OF THE CAROLINE.
She Was Fired and Sent Over Magyar

She Was Fired and Sent Over Niagara
Falls by the Canadians.
No doubt some of the old residents of
Rochester have recalled that it was
just sixty years ago Wednesday, De-
cember 20, that the steamer Caroline
was set on fire at Sch1osser dock, on
the upper Niagara river, and sent
ablaze over the Horseshoe Falls. There
is now the best of feeling existing be-
tween the people of the Dominion and
those of the United States, but six de-
cades ago the incident referred to above
created intense excitement throughout
both countries, and especially through
out western New York.
The locality was not as thickly popu-
lated as it is to-day, but the hearts of
the people were just as loyal, and their
passions were intensified by what has
always been termed the Caroline out
rage. Great changes have passed over
this section of the country since then
and to-day Schlosser dock is in the GEN.

present price. But 1t should always be
remembered as the purchase is planned
that the whole summers storing moths,
fire and change Of fashion are to be
considered. Altogether, they're quite a
consideration, too
The orange and flame shades that are
now so fashionable in dress goods have
crept into millinery and dominate some
of midwinter's finest hats Here is
one of orange velvet trimmed with a
full rosette of satin and gauze placed
directly in front and holding the stems
of two long ostrich plumes that dropped
at either side. A feathery aigrette rose
in front. Such hats are in several
shades of orange, the darkest tint APP
pearing in the plumes.
1t Is easy enough to have a great
black velvet hat all a-gloom with black
plumes, but to have bit of price
less real lace with just the right bloom
Of ivory upon it to draw across the
brim of the that, that Is another mat
ter. And it is one that makes all the
difference between a picture hat and
one that is merely a "big hat" The
all-black velvet hat is not as plentiful
as many women think. The reason
that the very biggest of fine hats does
not look gloomy and heavy is that 1t is
not all black. The brim may be black,
but like as not it is black mousseline
de sole and not velvet. The very edge
may be reinforced with a putting or a
pair Of bands of velvet The crown
will as Hike as not be Of dark blue vel
vet instead of black, and every other

will be blue instead Of black. SO though

dusky effect of an all-blaoH picture af-

KED HOT LAWYERS.

Lawyers squabble with each other
and with witnesses in court largely to
show their smartness and to advertise
themselves. Frequently they don't sue
coed in showing their smartness, but
sometimes they do succeed in adding
to their regulations as fighters"
Though they don't usually mean to get
really mad with each other when
they squabble for exhibition purposes,
sometimes they lose control of them
selves and then they are both painful
and amusing spectacles. Frequently
judges have much trouble with squab-
bling lawyers, and hardly know how
to make them behave themselves. The
Indiana Law Journal tells how one
judge put a stop to the squabbling of
lawyers in his court for awhile. Two
members of the bar began squabbling,
as usual; their wit was soon exhausted,
as usual; it was evident that they must
soon pass the extreme limits Of forensic
courtesy unless the judge should inter
| fere. But he didn't interfere. He call
| ed the bailiff to him, instructed him If
the lawyers got to fighting to "let 'em
| fight" quietly told the clerk to enter
an order adjourning the court, and be-
gan reading a newspaper. The law
yers, thus deprived Of any excuse for
ouieting down, were forced to keep up
their quarrel. Their repartees became
cruder and cruder. Finally one of them
felt that only physical retort was left
to him. He struck his opponent. Ills
opponent struck back. They fought on
mutually wondering why somebody
didn't interfere and heartily wishing
somebody would, until they had enough
Of it, when they quit Of their own ac-
| cord and began to apologize to the
judge for their contempt Of court. The
| judge blandly informed them that there
was no contempt of court, that the
court had risen before the first blow
was struck; also that if they were ready
| to go on with the case the court would
be reconvened, but If they felt like
fighting longer the court would stand
adjourned until they were through
They concluded to go on with the case
Well done. It's good story. Blu
one great trouble with initiating it j:
that few lawyers are careless enough
about their own skin and bones to real
ly fight They wisely and craftily taxi
it out in talk.

The New York supervisor Of roads
figures out the enormous costliness of
bad roads in a way that ought to make
every farmer an ardent advocate of
road Improvement. With the present
roads, he says, it costs the farmers
half as much to haul their produce
three miles by wagon as they pay the
railroads to haul it five hundred miles.
With system Of good macadam roads
the cost of the short haul could be re-
duced fifty per cent, thus reducing the
whole cost of transportation from the
farm to the consumer by one-sixth.
This, it is further figured, would mean
a saving to the farmers of an amount
each year equal to the interest on from
ten to thirty dollars an acre, according
to the crop raised, and would increase
the value Of the land, either to sell or
to hold, by like amount.

went for a physician. Something is

them. She has been in the hospital for

HOSKlNs' ORDERS
Says He Is County Physician, But
Is Hes

Is He?
Yesterday DIR. Hoskins, who is one of
the physicians now supposed to be in the
employ Of Sedgwick county, called up, or
sent up and ordered the phone in DR..
Caves Office, paid for by the county, to
be taken out and put into his office. That
move was nothing more thu n any county
physician would do, but the question is
now of the two regularly appointed
physicians, which one is Sedgwick coun-
tvs real authorized county physician.
Cave was appointed in September by
unanimous vote of the board to serve one
year, and if he had gone out and plugged
as a ward heeler of the Jocelyn-Spencer
gang and carried his ward for a delega-
ton the Kurnel and ex-King George
could have carried in their vest pockets
ad lib, he probably would have been left
unmolested by the new man, on whom it
occurs the police commission has a good
deal Of influence.
DIR. Cave ought to know that Leedy is
governor and that he had a police COM
mission down here for the sole purpose of
debating the Pop politics of the county
and city. And he ought to know that if
he expects to hold his job against the in
fuences of the Leedy police commission,
he ought to be less of a physician and
more of ward heeler. He ought to get
out and take care of the ward delegations
and pay less attention to the sick. He
ought to attend more of Jocelyn and
Spencer's caucuses and fewer cases Of
disease among the county INDECENT.
Doc Cave ought to go hunt UP Deacon
Wilson and the two take day or two
or a week off to learn the qualifications
Of public servants under the demands of
reform forces as modified by Leedy's po-
lice commissions.
But 10 return to the question at issue,
who is county physician and who will sus
tain whom. AS the impulsive but mat
tentive Cornell senior said, ''Who did
what" and where is the board of county
commissioners at?
VIII the new member come down and
acknowledge he is wrong, or will hhe
maintain his position and have two coun-
ty physicians, or will he insist on root
ing Dr. Cave out of the office to which
he was lawfully and Unanimously APP
pointed for one year at very reason
able salary by a board of two Populists
and one Republican.

PATCHEN VS.. GENTRY
Celebrated PAGERS to Race
Here Next Fall.
PURSES FOR SPEED RING.
Over $500 Offered By the
Wichita Fair Association.

On Monday night Colonel H. G. Toler,
secretary of the Wichita Fair association,
and B. B. Herndon, the president, met
and decided on the amount of money that
would be hung up in purses for the speed
ring at the fair which Will be held here
on September 18th to oath, inclusive. The
Eagle on Sunday published the amount Of
the purses which would be given by the
Kansas circuit. The purses offered for
this year exceed any ever given before.
Colonel Toler is busy cudgling his brain
to think out some attraction that will
bring thousands Of people here. Although
it is not positively agreed upon, yet there
is every reason to believe that one, if not
the principal feature, will be an exhibition
race between the far-famed PAGERS. Joe
Patchen and John R. Gentry. Both of
these horses were born and raised in
Sedgwick county, but left here when they
were yearlings. Neither of them have
ever given an exhibition in the state, nor
in the west. for that matter, and they
would undoubtedly attract fully 10000
people. 1t is quite expensive to get them
to race here. 1t will cost at least So, 900,
and perhaps $1,000.
There will be over $500 offered in the
speed ring. and the winner will be paid
just as soon as they come under the wire.
The purses are as follows:
Two year old pace (half mile heats) $780,
Three-year old pace, 2:25 class, $500.
Two thirty-five pace, $1,000.
Two twenty-six pace, $500.
Two twenty pace, $500.
Two fifteen pace, $500.
Two ten pace, $500.
Two year old trot Chalf mile heats) $500.
Three year old trot, 2:25 class, $500.
Two thirty-fiye trot, $1,000.
Two twenty-six trot, $500.
Two twenty trot, $500.
Two fifteen trot, 5000.
Colonel Toler said yesterday that the
horse that would win the purse in the
2:35 pace would have to go in PA, and in
the same class in the trot would have to
go in 2:20. There will be several novelty
races similar to those given last year
which created so much mirth. There will
be farmers race and the farmers con-
solidation. The merchants will give the
prizes. Colonel Toler is going to try and
get a cultivator or some good useful farm
implement to be offered for the first
prize. The entries will close on July 1st
Many other features will be inaugurated
this year for the first time. Everything
now promises that this years fair will
eclipse any former effort.
