Describe Their Voyage and
Scenes on the Other Side.

Eagle readers will remember Charles
Hatton and Charles Musselman Of the
High school class Of '99. who left Wichita
June 1s for a two-years tour abroad. The
following letter addressed to the Eagle
from Paris. France, will doubtless be in
teresting to their friends:
Paris. October 8. 1893.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
We are in Paris. Thirty days ago we
left New York City. One hundred days
ago we rode past the Sedgwic6 county
court house on our tandem. We have
worn out three pairs Of tandem tires and
our last ones caused US to ride the last
200 miles into this city.
Europe is fine We like it here. 1t
actually pleases US; everything is fine;
every leaf on the hedges is in place, ev-
cry lawn and yard and roadside plat Of
ground is blue grass; the farms are won
ders Of style and kept up in eXactness.
Wooden shoes, work horses in single
file. dogs hitched to carts, drivers turn

.alk French and succeed fairly well.
What one doesn't know the other does,
and between our talking we succeed.
This country IS great on potatoes and
sugar beets, and reineries and other
tineries.
Brussels and its places Of interest kept
us two days. We visited the American
consul there and got much good advice.
Little villages and sideway inns suited
Us, and the poorest roads we found were
better than the Main street pavement

Paris IS nicer than New York. We
have spent six DAYS here and haven't
seen all yet, nor will not, for the crowds
are awful" We wonder where they
viii put the worlds fair visitors when
they begin TO arrive.
We paid $3.50 to land our tandem IN
Belgium, $3.50 to come over the line into
France. The latter sum will be refund
ed when we leave the country again.
We have talked with only three Eng
lish speaking persons since leaving Ant
werp.
The Eagle reaches US all right and we
like it 50 much. Paris papers don't
make good reading. However, they have
let up on the Dreyfus matter now and
they are better.

PLAYS and PLAYERS.

FL Paso's theatre-gOing people are
to have another chance to enjoy an
evening before the drop curtain. Since
the production of "Secret Service"
some time ago the opera house has
been dark and many were wonderin
which would be the first company to
break the monotony. Wednesday and
Saturday nights of this week the play
lovers will have a chance to turn out.
Saturday night Gorton's mipstrel's
will appear here and it is said that
they never fail to entertain an su-
dience.
ga Hired Girl" which appears at
the opera house next Wednesday
night, is q musical satire on the ire
pressible ruler of the kitchen. 1t is
from the versatile pen of Ches E.
Blaney, who has brought out "a Bag
gage Check" ga Run on the Bauk,"
"a Railroad Tickst,'' "a Female
Drummer" ga Boy Wanted" aud
other force comedies, and "The
Electrician al American comedy
drama of thrilling interest. There is
q plot to ga Hired Girl" and in unfold
ing it all sorts of funny situations are
brought out. Harry James. has writ
ten music for the piece, and in addi-
;tion number of popular selections
are introduced. Thos J. Ry an plays
the hired girl: among the other men,
bers of the company are Happy Fannie
Fields, Edwina, Annie, and Chas.
Checkers, Campbell and Beard, and
numerous other artists.

Capt. Smiths ConCensslon.

Mexican congress has confirmed the
concession granted to A. B. Smith and
associates Of Los Angeles. Under the
concession, The company is given an
immense tract of land on the Gulf of
E California, and under the contract
made, it is to be colonized at once.
Smith and his associates agree to at
once construct q railway to una, Arlz. ,
and to conduct q steamship line to
Southern Mexico.
It is said the company will also run
Its steamers to Southern California
The line will include six steam
ers.
Capt. Smith has been working on
this scheme for years and the unlimit-
ed capital behind him. The land ced-
ed is the best agricultural land on the
American continent and can be
easily irrigated by water taken from
the Colorado river. The mineral
resources of the country are also of
vast Importance and with transporter
ton facilities will be rapidly develop
ed. This concession means great
deal to Yuma, as it will hasten the con-
struction of the San Diego railroad and
insur es the early construction of anoth-
er trans continental line.-Yuma Sem

No Such Orders Issued.

1t seems as if some people are deter
mined to have the Mexican govern
ment stop work on the new railroad
bridge whether they want to or not.
Last Friday report was circulated to
the effect that the Mexican govern
ment had stopped the bridge crew
from tearing down any more of the
bridge An investigation proved that
the rumor was false. Yes
terday for the second time
It was reported that the
Mexican government had interpOsed
an objection to the bridge crew remov-
ing that portion of the railroad bridge
situated on Mexican soil, and that the
construction train had been pulled off
as u result, This rumor, like the first,
was found to possess no foundation what
ever. It was found unnecessary to
have the engine crew standing
there all day without doing
any service and they were
pulled off for a few days, but the
bridge crew is at work today and the
timbers of the old structure are coming
down fast. It is safe to say that the
railroads and the Mexican government
had q thorough understanding, before
the work of constructing the new
bridge was commenced, and that there
will be no objection offered.

TO CHANGE THE PLANT
The 6. II. Chemical Plant is not
Proving a Success at Present.

Several months ago the G. II. COM
pany ordered erected at this point,
twin water tanks of average dimen-
sions. To these were attached y chem
ical plant for the purpose of purifying
the FER used 10 the engines on this
end of the line. The tanks were COM
pleted and the chemical plant put in
operation but the recent cold snap
froze everything around there and the
pipes burst as result and rendered
the whole plant useless. An improve
ment has been suggested by
Mr.. De Young which will
in all probability be executed.
His idea is to run all the seven four
inch pipes, which now form a net work
under the tanks, into one 1O-inch
stand pipe. With this plan carried
out ali the CO.'S" 'elbows," and
''pipes" which are now proving very
troublesome under the tanks, whould
be disp nsed with, as the 1O-inch pipe
would take the place of all of them.
Mr.. De Young's plan is said by prac-
tical men in this line to be q very good
one add arrangements to put his
scheme into execution are being per-
fected today.

Bio MlnlnQ Deal.

The Helvetia mine In the Santa Ritas
thirty miles south of Tucson, was trans
ferred yesterday to the Calumet Hecla

ing as agent for the Michigan COM

The Train Gate System established
on these lines in May, 1896, as meas
ure of protection to life, limb and

the company in decreasing accidents
and in increasing revenue have been
very satisfactory.
The opposition of the public to the
system, however, instead of decreasing,
has steadily grown, and in Difference
to it's wishes and with the view of try

Several peculiar incidents follow the
arrival of pay car in any town and in
porter overheard two men talking. They
had been celebrating the arrival of the
new year and apparently had run short
of funds. They were wondering to
themselves where they could secure
sufficient money to finish
out the day when a thought
struck one of them and he
turned pale aud starting to walk away
requested his friend to follow him.
Arriving in a back room one of them
proceeded to remove his shoe, in which
was found three big silver dollars.
The faces of the two shone as does the
sun and they went their way rejoicing.
