thinkers and leaders in every town meet
ing. New England by the same method
forged the shafts that drew slavery from
the land by the same means.
almost every great inventor OF the last
century was, or is, a Christian, or was
brought Up under Christian instruction
We might cite the inventors Of the tele-
graph, telephone. steam engine, sewing
machine and reaper.
'It Is a well known fact that no pro-
nounced atheist ever occupied the presi-
dental chair. Since the time OF lincoln
no man who has not been Christian or
in close and pronounced sympathy with
Christianity has received a nomination
for president on either of the two great
parties, which shows poorly for the two
thirds OF the men who are outside Of
Christianity, If that be the true proper
ton.
"A circular letter was issued by a
prominent religious journal last June,
asking this very question of the pres1-
dent, each member of his cabinet the
judges of the supreme court of the United
States, the United States senators, officers
in the army and navy that were not
abroad, and the presidents Of the leading
educational institutions of the country
The replies of these men were Sroduced
some few Of them read, but not even all
the names could be given of the entire
list. The president and all his cabinet
but one member replied in the afirma-
tive. All the justices of the supreme
court are Christian men. The majority
of the senators replied in the affirma tive
as did the officers of the army and navy
1t is remarkable that almost every great
leader among the generals admirals and
senators is Chris tan. From almost
every institution of learning comes a
hearty response, even the president of
Girdard college, founded on nifidelity,
and which no Christian minister dare
visit, comes this reply: "I answer your
questions with a cheerful and unqualified
yes"

Former Wichita Woman ID :es at Den.
niS0n

Mrs. Rodney Aldrich died at her home
in Denison, Texas, March 30, 1900. She
was formerly Miss Sadie Thomas, who
came TO Wichita in 1870 with her parents,
where She spent most of. her girlhood
days. Many of her schoolmates still re-
side here, who will recall with pleasure
their schoolday friendships. Mr. and
Mrs. AIdrich had spent five happy years
together. The last year they had made
their home at Denison, Texas, where they
had united with the Batist church. and
made many friends who sincerely mourn
her loss. Her death is peculiarly sad as
she leaves a baby boy four days old. their
only child. Four sisters survive her,

STOI.EOF SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains Of disease is the worst form
of slavery. George D. Williams, OF
Manchester Mich, tells how such slave
was made free. He says: My wife has
been SO helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone After
using TWO bottles of Electric Bitters she
IS wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sieepleesness, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells This
miracle working medicine is a godsend to
weak, sickly. run down people Every
bottle guaranteed Only so cents. Sold
by G. Gehring, druggist.

HOW FARES INCREASE
Manager Nelson Gives Illus
trative Figures.
INCREASE OF 40 PER CENT
Work of Preparing New Light
Plant.

It is really surprising the number Of
cars. Yesterday Mr.. Nelson gave a re-
porter for the Eagle some figures in re-
gard to the increase in business. Mr.. Mel
son has averaged the daily business of
each of the new cars since the first Of
April, and found thot the Topeka car has
averaged 434 passengers daily; North
Main, 299; West Side, z79. There has been
a steady increase IN the receipts on the
lines where the service has been i'm
proved and the management say that as
soon as they can get more power from
the plant they will still give better ser
vice.
The two new arc generators have been
received and will soon be set up. Each
Of these new machines are of 100 Kilo
Watt capacity and will furnish power
for 200 lamps. One of them viii be more
than sufficient to light all the arcs in
this city and the second one viii be held
in reserve. The arc system, which will be
installed, is known as the Hartford sys-
TEN, and is the latest thing out. The
lamps, instead of using direct current,
will be Of the alternating type. Fifty of
them connected in series will form a cir
cult. and there viii be four circuits on
each machine. After leaving the genera
tor the current first passes through self
regulating transformers, which maintain
the voltage in accordance with the re-
sistance of the line. This principal is
the same as now in common use in arc
lighting The new thing in this case is
that it is applied to alternating currents.
Yesterday practically no work was
dine on the tracks on account Of the
weather. About the next thing that viii
be done is to finish the curve at the cor
ner OF Topeka and Douglas SO that the
Topeka cars can come to Main street. It
is probable that all the tracks on Doug
las avenue west of the Santa Fe tracks
will be laid before any work is done else
where.
1t has been fully decided that the old
bridge across the Big river will be re-
placed by a new one. Mr. Nelson said
last night that he did not know just when
this new bridge would be built but it
would lie in the near future, and that no
work would be done on the West Side
until after it was completed.

The Opera Chorus.

In the gay costumes OF the stage we
do not get very good idea of what
manner of men and women those be-
longing to the opera chorus are. At
a rehearsal we see it all at a glance.
They are foreign to their finger tips
dagos we should call them in the dis
respectful language of our everyday
life. But they are undoubtedly very re-
spectacle and certainly very hard
working. They appear at every per-
Torrance, at every rehearsal. l really
believe that there is no class of people
outside the sweatshops of New York
that works harder or more incessant-
ly. 1t is study, rehearse, perform, every
day and almost every night.
There is no let up on them, yet they
seem to enjoy their work and their
life. Indeed l am sure they enjoy
both. for they are inspired by a love
for the art. which they serve jealous
ly. though humbly. 1 have read SIAN
derous stories about these hardwork-
ing people. Those Who give the stories
currency should themselves be pillo-
ried; those who believe the stories
should be heartily ashamed of them
selves. Theirs Is hard work and hon
est work and assists to make the world
more beautiful and fife more happy
