GOOD BOATING NOW
Electric Launches Glide Over
the Little Arkansas.
BEAUTIFUL SHADE TREES
Many Swimming Parties Are
in Order.

The boating a. the new park is now one
OF the nightly means of amusement for
Wichita's pleasure-loving citizens, and
each evening sees many dancing barQues
on the Little river above Pine street Last
evening Mr. George Parham took party
of friends out m one OF his pretty electric
launches and the ride was In every way
most entertaining one. These boats are
the very latest improved pattern and glide
along the water with the ease and grace
OF an aquatic bird. The party last even
ing was made up OF Mr.. Pa-ham. an Eagle
reporter, Mr.. Fred hartman and Mr.. WIZ
lam Mayer. The ride extended for about
eight miles for the round trip. and was in
every way a most enjoyable one. II took
in the entire water couse, which over
looks the lovely drives along the park
shores. with the overhanging trees, the
grassy banks and the beautiful environ
mencs OF music, other boats and the soft
moonlight.
The swiftest boat Mr.. Parhan has
named the Wichita Eagle. and with fun
load it makes about six miles an hour.
Many row boats dotted the mirrored
stream last night, and the whole scene
made a pretty picture. which many OF the
city's residents and out-of-town guests are
enjoying nightly. Since the dam has been
built the water is between seven and eight
feet deep, and makes splendid boating.
and no form OF boating Is quite so pleas
ant as these finely constructed launches
They glide along, seemingly without any
effort q all. and under the bridges and
between high bands. making in al a love
ly trip.
The hot DAYS being almost unbearable.
the evenings are made all the more pleas
ant and agreeable by the many pleasant
means If enjoyment afforded by the park
and the surroundings. Not the least IN
teresting OF these out-of-door pleasures Is
the water facilities, which are greatly In
creased by the launches OF Mr.. Parham
Sunday afternoons and evenings these
boats are busy making the round trip up
an down the river front, and certainly
they meet the expectations OF their owner
and the many patrons.
Not since the days OF the Wichita Boat
club has the run from Pine street been so
greatly patronized, and Il brings back old
time memories now to see this stream
again alive with mIrth and pleasure-seek-
ers.

Marucchi has regarded it with
any degree of faith, yet all OF
them hsye been greatly interest
ed in the matter.
The mere study of history
would naturally conclude from
all historic records. that the sol.
diers of Tiberius in Rome knew
nothing of the Crucifixion on
Calvary. and even if they had
known. they would not have con
sidered it a matter of any i'm.
portance.
We must regard the whole
matter as very far-fetched and
imaginary, without any substan-
tial basis of belief.

UNIoSTowN, August, 1858.
We've spoken the sad farewell, Mat,
And ciasped thy parting hand,
And there's one bright link been severed
In the chain that bound our band.
We oft list to hear thy voice, Mat,
That once entrAnced our ear;
Would the whispering breeze but echo, Mat,
The tones we loved TO hear.
But our own sad plant we hear, Mat,
Like the song of some lonely bird,
Mid the leaves by night-windH stirred.
We xrieve to think how on, Mat,
Thou'It sigh for thy mother hand,
To cool thy throbbing brow, Mat,
When parchsd In the strangers land.
For other skies bend DER thee, Mat,
And the deep between us rolls,
And thy heart Will often sigh, Mat,
For . draft from Lethe's bowl.
Long weary years will pass, Mat,
Ere thou'lt greet thy native shore,
And We who met 30 fondly, Mat,
MAY meet rs friends no more.
For lIfe's dreary waste, Mat.
It's goal Is the dark lone tomb,
Yet there's many bright green spots, Mat,
Dwelling mid It's desert gloom.
At eve thou'it muse alone, Mat,
And gaze on the vesper stars,
And think how softly the rays, Mat,
Light thine own blue hills afar.
List to the murmurtng zephyr, Mat,
As IL skins DER the dark blue sea,
For IRIS passed thy cottage door, Mat,
And bears sweet words to thee.
They say the sun shines brighter, Mat,
IN thy home beyond the sea,
That the stars have . softer light, Mat,
Is it thus they shine to thees
All. NO, for thou'It often think, Mat,
Of the flush of the crimson West,
Gieaming through the dark pine trees, Mat,
Like rays from the land ofthe blest.
Then thourt stand on the Eastern strands
Mat,
And gaze with longing eyes,
For a glimpse of the brilliant gems, Mat,
That bestud the western skies.
Bow not at Mammon,s shrine, Mat,
nut seek thou that priceless gem,
A heritage far brighter, Mat,
Than an Eastern diadem.
A nd be thou that angel sent, Mat,
To uphold thy brothers hands,
when he faInts beneath the CROSS, Mat,

FORTY YEARS AG0.

More than 40 years ago at q
Baptist Association in the town
of West Milford a young man
was commissioned by the Baptist
church to go as a missionary to
China. Reverend ]. Landrum
Holmes. He was a brother of
our townsman NJ. &. Holmes. In
August. 1859, Mr.. NJ. 6. Holmes
left Uniontown. Pa. to take
charge of a mercantile establish
ment in Shanghai, China, to
which he was appointed through
the influence of his brother. MIR.
M. q. Holmes went by stage over
the national road to Cumberland.
Md and by rail and boat to
Boston, and on a sailing vessel
to China. The route was South
to Pernambuco, S.A., East across
the Atlantic, around the Cape of
Good Hope across the Indian
Ocean North Of Australia be-
tween Bornea and Tlmor Islands
into the Pacific, North into the
China Sea to Hong Kong, thence
to Shanghai. Time of voyage
Z
six months. Mr.. Holmes remain
ed in China five years. Mrs.
Helen S. G. Nevius at that time
a missionary in China in a book
published by Robert Carter &
Bro, of N. Y, 1869. speaks of
Rev. j. Landrum Holmes as "a
person of peculiar loneliness Of
character, handsome. talented,
ardent, with very winning man
ers." Rev. Holmes was murder
ed in 1861 by a clan of "Tai-Ping'
rebels. In order to reach his
brother and recover his body Mr..
NJ. G. Holmes made a long jour
| ney alone of 500 miles on horse
back from near Pekin to Yentai.
In making which-he was COM
PEELED to pass through and over
the country in which the rebels
operated and was the first white
man to make the journey. The
route was one scene of desola-
ton. In some places the streets
were so crowded with dead bodies
that he was scarcely able to pass.
In one province one million Of
lives were destroyed. After q
residence of five years in China
Mr.. MIG. Holmes returned to the
US. And in 1867 he returned
to China via Panama and the
Pacific ocean visiting Mexican
and Japanese ports. After five
years more Mr.. Holmes again re-
turued to his native land, having
twice travelled around the world.
During his residence abroad Mr..
Holmes visited all the noted
places in the Orient. The Pyra-
mids, The Great Wall. Many
Temples and tombs; notably the
| tomb of Confucius to which he
was escorted by descendants,
members of Confucius' family,
who treated Mr.. Holmes with
great courtesy and gave him an
honor not perhaps accorded to a
white man in $500 years, to es-
cort a foreigner to the tomb of
their ancestor.
The following lines were writ
ten by Miss Tillle Clement a
schoolmate and student of George
Creek Academy to commemorate
Mr.. NJ. G. Holmes departure for
China in 1859.
