WIFE CAME BACK
Mrs. Geo. Howell Did Not Go
to England.
WAS LOCATED IN ST. LOUIS
Left Husband and Child Mys-
teriously Two Months Ago.
WAS LOCATED IN ST. L0UI;

Mrs George Howell, wife OF the fore
man Of the Frisco shops, who two
months ago pinned a farewell note 10
the gown Of her sleeping child and ran
away, has returned and is living happily
again with her husband and little boy
The Eagle gave an account Of her sud
den and mysterious departure, but until
yesterday nothing further was known
Of her except to those closest to the fam
lily.
It seems that Mrs. HowelTs intentions
were not bad, as gossips tried to make
out, but her action was only little es-
caDade 70 work of a spell Of homesick-
ness that was becoming serious. Mrs
HoweIPs relatives live in England
where she and Mr. Howell left them FIVE
years ago. 1t was thought when she
went away that she had started to visit
them.
The experience of Mrs. Howell. accord
ing 70 the story Of a friend was rather
exciting and interesting. When she left
the home at night two months ago, after
having put her little boy to sleep, she
did not leave the city for three days.
Her husband thought she had gone TO
Kansas City, and he took the Missouri
Pacific night train for that place in
search of her. K 50 happened that Mrs
Howell took the same train for Kansas
City. but each entered the coach without
noticing the other. Shortly after leaving
the depot Mrs. Howell says she spied her
coach and could have touched him, but
she remained quiet in her seat. She left
the train at Emooria and Mr.. Howell
went on to Kansas City in search OF her
He put every detective in Kansas City
on her track, but she was not there.
Mrs. Howell took sick at Emporia, and
remained there q week. after which she
went to Denver. Colo. From Denver she
went direct to ST Louis, where she Sc
cured a position In a restaurant. Her
husband discovered her wherea bouts
through a letter which she had written
to a friend here, and he went to St.
Louis and found her. There was re-
newal of the old counting days and Mr..
Howell won out His wife would not
come back with him, but promised to re-
turn in a few days If he would secure a
house in a different part of Wichita He
left her a ticket home and returned and
secured another house and had the
household goods moved ready for the re-
ception of his twice-won wife.
Mrs Howell was as good,as her word,
for she came back. Occasionally she

THE RETURN OF GEN. OTIS.

Major General Otis has sailed from Ma
Mia for the United States, and, barring ac-
cident, should reach San. Francisco about
the 1st of June. BY orders of the govern
ment he received a major generals salute
on embarking Some surprise is expressed
in Washington at what is termed his rather
sudden leaving of his post, but as his re-
quest for leave of absence was granted
some time ago. and as he was known to be
ing can hardly be called abrupt. At all
events. in view of his past record, no per-
son can doubt that he considers the time
opportune for leaving and that no interest
will suffer by his doing so. 1t may be that
he desired to leave at this time in order
be as nearly as possible two years from
the date of his assignment TO duty In the
Philippines, which was May %. 1898 His
duties there have been in some respects
without a precedent in our history. No
other army officer has served nearly as
long continuously in a foreign country or
has had to perform such variety of new
and strange duties. including military.
civil. diplomatic. judicial. executive. prose-
cutting war with one hand and establishing
civil government with the other, deciding
complicated questions of church and state,
promulgating commercial laws and rela-
tions, and many other things requiring wide
knowledge of affairs and executive ability
in addition to military training. There is
reason to believe he has discharged these
novel and difficult duties with great credit
to the government and himself. The criti-
cism and censure that were unjustly heaped
upon him have long since ceased, and now
no person doubts that he has been a very
laborious, conscientious and faithful officer.
If he has made a mistake ii was I'm trying
to do too much, but, considering the posi-
ton in which he was placed. that was al
most unavoidable. After his long and ar
duous service in a foreign country General
Otis should not be permitted to return
without some distinct recognition of his
services by the government and people. He
will of course, be received with military
honors at San Francisco. and the people at
every point between that city and Wash
ington should unite In paying him respect
and honor.

THE ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE.

No religious assemblage in recent years
has attracted so much attention while 1t
was in session as the Ecumenical Confer
ence in New York, which has just adj
journed. The fact of its assembling did
not attract much notice. Perhaps that was
due to the fact that the conference was to
consider the subject Of missions-a topic in
which, it can be frankly said, the general
public takes little active interest because
Of the equally general impression that
large sums of money are expended in for
eign missions without much apparent re-
suit. The men Of national reputation who
participated in the conference and their
addresses showing unbounded faith in the
cause will go far to renew or create more
general interest in missions. The tendency
OF religious thought was shown by the fact
that every Protestant denomination partic-
ipated in the deliberations of the confer
ence. and the sentiment prevailed that it
was time for the great body of Professionals
to ignore the nonessentials which have
held denominations apart and to unite upon
ter, during the last day of the conference.
in his enthusiasm demanded that ''the de-
nominational banners. riddled with shot
and torn into tatters," be put into glass
cases or thrown on the shelves Of some
theological museum so that 1--WE may go
out together and preach only Christ and
Him crucified'' This is going too far,
since those who carefully observe the
workings of denominations believe that
they are essential to bring together those
ton of the different divisions of the army
bearing names that have stood for much in
the past.
To those who have watched the result of
missionary effort at a distance, so to
speak, there has been lack of business
sense. Several denominations are spending
large amounts of money in maintaining
missions in the same field. In a recent
book regarding China and Japan several
chapters are devoted to the work of mis-
notes is that missionaries of different de-
nominations often devote themselves to
bitter UNCONVENTIONAL controversies. so
that when the edcuated Japanese are urged
to embrace Christianity they sneeringiy
ask which of the contending factions pos
sesses the real article The drift of the
discussion in the conference indicated a
purpose to do something to prevent the
waste of effort and money which is ap-
parent in the keeping up of several estab-
cred by one. This could be done if those
who engaged in the Ecumenical Confer
ence should insist upon a general mission
airy board to take direction of all the work,
thus making the missionary an evangelist
rather than a denominationalist.

It is evident that Mr.. Scburz knows very
little about native-born Americans when
he says that many of them believe that
the German immigrant should forget his
German and speak only English 10 become
a good American No people who come
20 this country from Europe are as well
come as the Germans. They are a home
making. thrifty people, and devoted to
their adopted country. That they
should cease to speak the Ian
guage to which they were born would in
terfere with their interests here. Every
English-speaking native-born American
must understand this. and. therefore, every
native American would have the German
immigrant speak his native tongue. In
time the German finds it to his interest
TO speak English. just as did Mr.. schurz.
but no sensible person believes that the
German-born citizen should not speak his
native tongue

The Hon. William Duncan Vandiver,
member Of Congress from the Fourteenth
Missouri district, is placed in embar-
RAISING position, as he says. by his clerk.
Mr. Vandivers home is at Cape Girardeau,
not far from st. Louis, and a few days ago
a mail sack was received at st. Louis un-
der his frank, which, on examination, was
found to contain number of public docu-
ments and also a mans coat and trousers
purchased at Cape Girardeau. One is at a
loss to conjecture why Mr.. Vandiver should
be sending his clothes home by mail. and if
his clerk did it by mistake, as he says,
public curiosity will demand to know what
the clerk was doing with Mr.. Vandiver's
cIothec
