I AND There were a number of felicious responses and wise speech03 delivered at the banquet given the Commercial Travelers' association at the Carey, on Siturday night, which were not all attainable for Sunday morning's issue. That of Judge Sluss was not obtainable. The following delivered by M. W. Levy, president of the Wichita National bank, is too good to be lost: "Gentlemon -with the Grip, and without It.

"To me has been assigned the most delightful duty of responding to the toast of Our which I am happy to inform you couaists of your noble selves. "The relation between the banker and the commercial pilgrim is cIoe and of a most confidential nature. The credit of his customer is generallv based on the in formation derived from his friend the local banker. I trust, therefore, that whatever 1 may say to you or of yon tonight wiil be held strictly and 5 per cent off the extreme "discount that will be given under any circumstances, and even these terms do not apply to election bets or poker chips. "There is au affinity between your avocation and miue.

Beth are founded and maintained by the confidence we inspire iu the community where we operate, lour customer relies on your integrity, rectitude and conscientiousness, for the truth of the representations you make relating to the quality of the goods sold. He requires of you and holds you to the btuc.te.st accountability for the proper fulfillment of contracts made with him, to au equal extent that a depositor in a bank lelies on the security of his funds on the honesty and reputation of ths officials of the financial institution. "Our callings are both of ancient date. Mine originated when the Lord made a sight draft on Adam for a rib, wherewith to construct a partner for Adam's Express company (No stock on the market). This transaction was completed on ths Bank of Euphrates.

Shortly after this event Xoih constructed a sample case made of gopher wood pitched withiu and without. He was the latherof tiiplets, Shem, Ham and Japheth, all born at different timei; and when he became grandfather he established the piecedent which is followed on such occa-fions by many to this day, namely, painting the old own a rich carmine hue, and awakening in the morning with a severe headache; mayhap some of you may know how it i yourself. When Noah started ont on his trip he filled his three-story Saratoga with samples of all liviuc thfncf. It 13 susceptible of pi oof strong as holy writ that every time he drew he got a 'pair' until he had a 'full'-ark 'flush' to the deck, and when he saw the flood "raised" caused everyone to drop ont." Noah evidently was no novice at the business, for history informs us that he succeeded in slipping iu a con-pie of elephant trunks without paying for extra h.igcage. King Solomon had the utmost confl-dencce iu your fraternity.

Wnen any of hi faTorite friends desired to travel he furnished them with a token, and "grips" to carry their baggage in. The comuieici.il traveler belongs to no oue country, sex, sect or religion. He is omnipiesent. la the frozen zone or iu the tropics in daikest, Africa, or Gieenland's Icy Mountains, from the Great ikes to tbo Dead Sea, from the Golden Horn to Japan, lrom JAlpha to Omaha, upon everi' sea or river wherever human habitation has found a lodgment, there will he be also. Were the facts recorded it would be made manifest that when Christopher Columbus brought America over to this country the first person he met on landing was a representative of a iruit house who had samples of the finest stock of new-crop chestnuts in the market, and for every purchase of a hand organ with a monkey attachment his house presented tho buyer with a patent double actiou Maccaronl Hectographite peanut roaster.

"Why sir, within the past month I met a gentleman of your profession who wit-nesst-d the lauding of the Pilgrim Fathers on Plymouth Rock; and he sold them in one day 310 cases of dedicated mince pie meat for Thanksuiviug Day pumpkin pudding. I should have decidedly doubted the veracity of this statement had it not emeiiated from the man who made the 6ale and who olFored iu consideration of good ciuar to show nie the otigiual order. Should I ba asked to name the profession having within its ranks tho highest type of physical manhood, tho lepresenia-tiou of the'Appolo Belvidere, the most intellectual minds, the most indefatigable laborers, the most unselfish aud selt sacrificing spirits, the most ui bane and polite, the most patriotic, tho most cheritable, I should unhesitatingly and unequivocably reply, the American commercial traveler. The intellectual attributes of Shakespeare's mind aro euconiparsed by you. Poetry for your own entertainment and that of your Your duties as collectors requires a knowledge of law, your physical needs, that of medicine, your religious tendencies, that of tlie Gospel; your contact with all classer, metaphysics.

For the wno refuse all your blaudishmeut to purchase, the kuowl eduo of warfare is iiidespeiisihle. "You gentlemen of the grip have your vices aud your virtues. The latter largely predominate. The greatest of the lortner is your iuoidinate modesty, and your excessive fe.ir that iu your enthusiasm you might vary from the strictest hue of truth iu recommending your waies, and your detestation of being forceil to carry on a fiir-tatiou shonld one be thrust upon you when oil your usual guard against such a calamity. "Within your body we find the most charitable and severest critics.

To you, 'all the world's a Tragedj and comedy, tears and smiles are interwoven with your daily life. The effervescent and Imoyaut spirit of the commercial traveler is contagious. He is- a plutocrat aud democrat. He calls no man his superior, aud noue beneath his notice. He mixes his politics as he does his drinks.

Whether his congressional cmdidate is Tom, or Jerry, is immaterial to him; if compelled to make a selection he will combine the two. In peace as iu war he is of heroic mold. A midnight wreck or a burning hotel with all its concomitant horrors finds him foremost, in the btbor of rescue; seeking none, and accepting no reward, save that of his owu self-respect. Show moactowded street car and the first to arise to offer his seat to age or sex will be a drummer. In politics he is wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove, but 'O'tis' miu to think what 'a commercial tramp' enn accomplish when tin so listeth.

"Children have a natural instinct for the good and true. Many and many a time have I been a toddling babe with falteiiuti steps make its way to one of your calling, teach out its little hands with implicit confidence to be taken by one whom it had never seen before, aud with full faith and confidence nestle its head ou the sheltering breast, aud with soulful I rust slep he slumbi-r of iunoceut childhood.

In conclusion, gentlemen, the world is belter for your presence, sunshine ud happiness follow your wake; may your sample case grow lighter with each declining year, your orders ever increaseiu quantities and nuaibers; may your hands never relax your urip on your clients, until you are called to become junior members ot your house by marryiug the daughter of the senior member, or otherwise, provtdtug you do not commit bigamy, and your wife interposes uo objection. THE COJIMERClAIi TUAVELEtt BANKER. Or OFFICE SEEKERS.

If the gubernatorial position is as trying after the inauguration as it is between tbe election aud that period Mr. Lewelling will earn every dollar of his salary- It is no exaggeration to say that be is today the busiest man in Kansas and that he has the hardest line of customers to deal with. The People's party headquarters in the Sedgwick block are crowded from morning till night with the hungry politicians of two parties. Tbey are coming here by the score from every poition of the state; from Doniphan to Morton counties and from Cheyenne to Cherokee. They are com'ng black and white, and each of them is after the very fatttst office in tho state.

When an EAGLE reporter called at headquarters yesterday Mr. Lewelling was not there, but about fifty office seekers were. A call was made in the private ante-room, but that was like the main headquarters. It contained office seekers without number, but not Mr. L-welling.

In the rear corner there is a little nook and from this to an upper floor there leads a very nanow and very steep stair or ladder. At the entrance of this little hole iu the wall the reporter noticed a crowd, and pissing around that way he saw Mr. Lewelling sitting on the very top step, hearing the claims of a typical office seeker, while four or five othere were below waiting their turn to get the ear of the governor, like that many penitents waiting to get the ear of the father confessor, Mr. Lewelling had been forced to this position by the persistence cf the politicians, and he was sweating Ilka tbe proverbial African at an election. THE CHKVSANTIIKMU3I FAIR.

Yesterday the Hypatia club employed the day iu winding up the fair. It was really not a day of exhibition but rather of division and settlement. It was a big job, and several ladies were employed the whole day in adjusting accounts, others iu assisting the florists with their assortments. One feature of this fair which was pleasing and commendable is, tha ladies paid all the premiums before they closed the room. The club voted a choice plant to each lady who had worked and so earnestly labored during tbe three days and nights, and through whose efforts tho pleasure and entertainment of visitors was due The special premium medal voted to Mr.

Chatfield was for the best floral display not for the best variety, as reported. This gentleman has raised a new variety of chrysanl hemum and named it in honor of Mrs. Hersey "Sarah Louise Hersey." Mrs. Hersey also raised a new variety and called it "Hypatia," in honor of the club. Many solicitations were made by ladies of tbe city that the club continue the fair two or more days this week, but owing to the labor and the necessity of procuring new supplies of plants the club decided not to do so.

As the success of working a difficult problem In mathematics inspires to more extended research in the world of figures, so the successful exhibition of this wonderful chrysanthemum show has inspired to greater effort and study as to its susceptibility for propagation and development, 'and several of Wichita's ladies and gentlemen have already clasped hands with the club and the florists to leave no work undone to give a still finer exhibition next year. Thus endeth the chrysanthemum fair which has proven a delight and source of study and astonishment to alL MUSlCAli The following is the program for the eighteenth recital of tbe musio department of the Wichita university, which will take place tomorrow evening: Waguer Tannhause solo Misses Rosa Baker, McCarty and Nuss.

Thanksgiving day is close at hand and the children of WichitA have again an opportunity of showing their gratitude to the Great Father of all by giving with willing hands and loving hearts to the little fatherless or motherless ones in the Children's Home on College Hill. Wichita's children need no urging in this matter; they are always ready to give of their abundance to their less fortuuute brothers aud sisters, so they will be prepared today when the directors of the home come to the following schools with the paper bacs to be filled: Franklin, Park, Carleton, Washington, College Hill, Fairmount, Webster and Levy, the Wichita university, Fairmount college and the Business college.

"What shall we give?" the children ask. Anything good to eat groceries, coffee, suuar, rice, canned fruits, dried fruits, potatoes, apples, soap, starcn, flour, meal, butter, eggs, chicKens vegetables, anything you would like yourselves. And should ths grown folks desire to supplement the children's gifts- coal, money or a sewing machine would be very acceptable. Mns. A.

BASLEY, President. MORE TALENT AM) JIOF.E KOOM. The progress made during the past year at All Hallows Academy has been so great and the number of students has increased to such an extent that additional talent had to be secured in the musical department. After looking over the field thoroughly the selection of Mrs. Catharine Russell wes made and for the futuro she will be a member of the staff of this very creditable and successful Wichita institution.

Mrs. Rusell is the directress ot the Pro-Cathedral choir aud is splendidly evuipped for the Important position for which she has been chosen. The prosperity of the academy has so far exceeded the fondest dreams of its promoters that it now becomes necessary not only to find musical aud art talent, bu it aLo becomes necessary to rind additional accommodations and a vast enlargement 1 of the handsome structure is iu contemplation and will be accomplished scon. This is another proof that Kaunas is very far from beiug on the verge of moral ruin. A full rehearsal for II Trovatore will take place this evening at 7:9) Thomas Shaw's music siore.

o'clock at The ladies will be expected to come from now on. Dec. 16 has been assigned for the first production, and it is hoped that each and every one will be present from now until that date at all rehearsals called. THANKSGIVING DAT. Thursday will be Thanksgiving day and will afford the kind-hearted people oi the city an opportunity to do some good for the poor.

There are tw.o homes for waifs in the city, one for white and oue for black, and here is a good field for benevolence. In dispensing gifts no color line should be drawn, for God will reward the man who drops a turkey or a chicken iu the black home as well as the white home. Charity knows no bounds or limits and should know no lines. Then, again, there are worthy poor who are not fortunate to be in "homes;" these should be looked after, too. TOMORROW N1GUI 'S FKTE.

It should not be forgotten that the Thanksgiving masquerade to be given under the auspices of the Degree of Honor, A. O. U. will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) evening at A. O.

U. W. hall. North Market street, Instead of Thursday evening, as at first announced. These en-teitainments have alw lys been characterized by their select attendants no one of questionable repute beiug admitted to the hall, and this policy will be rigidly adhered to in tomorrow evening's entertainment.

The proceeds of the evening being designed for the benefit of the family of a distressed member of the order, the attendance is expected to be quite large. A UN A WAY. A runaway occurred on West Douglas yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock, which came near resulting in the very serious injury of an old gentleman, whose name could not be learned. His team, which were young horses, became frightened at a West Side car, and reared and plunged about, upsetting bis wagon and throwing him to the pavement. The team then started west, but were captured at Morgan's stable before they had done any damage to the wagon or otherwise.

The old gentleman was helped into a drug store, but his injuries fortunately were only in the nature of a few ugly bruises. THANKSGIVING NO I ICE. One of the most practical things a man can do on Thanksgiving Day is to share bis blessings with some one else. This will be done, no doubt, in many homes aud in all tbe churches. Tha charities committee of Humane society would also remind the communitv of its interest in this matter.

The office in the city hall will be open especially to receive contributions of food or clothing or money from 1:30 to 4 p. m. Those who cannot bring their gifts to tha room will ba called ou Thursday or Friday by informinc the secretary, J. A. Henry, or Rev.

R. W. Rhames, chairman of the committee. SCHOOL OF ORATORY KOTES. The term just closing has been the most prosperous in the history of the school.

In the senior class are three members preparing themselves as professional teachers of elocution. Among the other students are two professors from colleges taking printed instructions; also five ministers who are actively engaged in serving congregations; also a professional reader, who takes special drills. This school is taking high rank among the schools of the country. The senior classfe busily preparing some classic recitations for their friends next Friday evening. StJNCAY KCHoOIj MUSIC.

The music for the County Sunday School convention will be furnished as follows: Mrs. Professor Moyer has consented to serve as pianist during the entire convention; Miss Nellie McPherscn will lead the singing Monday afternoon. Monday night Mrs. S. F.

WICHITA MUSICAL CL0B. This club gave the third recital of their course last eveuing, which was Harry Brown Turpin evening, assisted by Mr. and Mrs Garst, with Mrs. Nellie Hobbs Smythe as pianist. Mr.

Turpin is styled in Europe as the celebrated American baritone, and in America he is justly styled, the baritone. In the words of London's great singing master. W. O. Shakespeare, "his tones are perfect." His numbers were all very fine nnd heattily applauded.

In response to his first encore he sang a ballad composed by a Wichita lady, Mrs. Cook, which was well received. The ladies of the Wichita Musical club are to ba highly commended in securing such rare talent for our public The last reciatal of the course will be given on the 2nd of Jauuary by Mr. William Sherwood, the most talented pianist of our country. Wichita should greet this great genius with a crowded house.

APPEAL FOR THE BLACK DAUBS, To the Editor of the Eagle. I wish to notice through your valuable paper, whose columus have ever proved a friend to the race I represent, that last year twe of the public schools were assigned to the Colored Children's Home for us to collect our Thanksgiving donations from. But it seems great dissatisfaction arose among the white children (aud parents) attending these schools, and at the Emerson school the bags were divided in our presence. This year it has been decided to allow all the bags to go to the whit Children's Home and such articles as they select he sent to our Home. This, I think, would not be satisfactory to us least some bag sent us through the kindheaitedness of the president of tbe Wichita Children's Home and whoe doner would be awfully grieved should they know uch bag was seut to feed tbe black Iambs of His ficck.

It is hoped tbe parents of colored children will donate liberally, and that if there be any white children kind enough to give to us that they will place on their bags "Colored Children's Home," nnd only such bags as are marked be sent to us. God is able to care for tho black lambs as well as tbe white. Respectfully. Naomi Anderson, President Colored Children's Home. CARD OF THaKKS.

J. Taylor, the colored editor, orator and Demo-pop of Kausas City, the ex-minister to Liberia nnd the temporary secretary of the Populist state convention held iu this city lust June. He says that his mission was not a political one, but those who watched him say that he was pretty bu3y circulating among the powers that are iu the saddle. Taylor is a a shrewd fellow aud upon beiug inter viewed he dodged everything about his own political aspirations and waded into a fulsome flattery of Grover Cleveland He is after the appointment of register of deeds for the District of Columbia, the position held now by ex-Senator B. K.

Bruce and formerly held by Matthews nnd Douglass. He says this, from custom, be longs to the colored people, and that he, iu his opinion, of course, is better entitled to it than any other man iu the country. He doe not insist that he will get the office, which is very modest in him, but does insist that he ought to have it. Speaking about state matters he said that about 4,500 colored people voted for Lewelling, and that if they voted for Smith he would have been elected. With his usual modesty then he claims that Mr.

Lewellieg owes his election to the colored people. He hopes, of course, that Mr. Lewelling will consider this in making up the list of appointments and govern himself according. C. H.

J. is a fine talker, as slick as a peeled onion in his political conversation, and has a humorous way of putting things that is rather interesting. He talks, of course, as if he was the leader of the colored race In Kansas, whome he calls "my people" with his usual modesty. SIDEWALK OBSTRUCTION. To tha Editor of tha Eatfe: Please enlighten a constant readar of your paper by quoting laws and city ordinance as to signs aud showcases being ou tbe outside of the sidewalk? Under the existing laws of our city is it a violation of them by placing signs and show cases on tbe outside of the sidewalk? By answering same you will greatly oblige.

C.RM. The city ordinauce relating to the above query is as follows: Section 1, "That any person or persons who shall obstruct any street, alley, public area or sidewalk, iu the city of Wichita by piling, or placing, or maintaining thereon any filth, or litter, or any goods, wares, or merchandise, or bv pla'jiug, or erecting any building or fence thereon, or who shall place and benches or seats for public use on any part of any sidewalk in said city, or who shall remove any earth from any street, public area, or alley, shall, upon conviction, be fined iu any sum not exceeding $100; provided, always, that nothing in this section shall be so coustrucd as to prohibit merchants and tradesmen from using three feet of the sidewalk immediately in front of their places of business, for tbe purpose of exposing and advertising their wares." AMUSEMENTS. KATIE EMMETT KiSlarney, an enterely new play in the west, was produced last night at the Crawford Grand to a moderate sized audience by Kattie Emmett and a decidedly strong company of actors. Miss Em me tt is a very attractive artist with many elements of popularity, but out of regard for truth it must be said that she is not the Biuger or dancer that she is cracksd up to be, to use a slang expression. The play is a clean clever Irish production, abounding with sentimeut and witty sayings and doings; and unlike ths average play representing Irish life iu the last century it has no blood and thunder in it or none of those hump backed sneaking villians for which Irish plays are noted.

The company is exceptionally strong and four of them at least would rank as stars anywhere in their respective specialties. Tha scenery in the play is owned by the company and it must be said of it that it is very fine and the beautiful scenes represented caused a good deal of admiration. Killarney is the one spot on earth that baffles the skill of the artist, and it is not within the scope of the painter's brain to improve on tho natural beauty of the justly famous lakes. "Killarney" will be presented tonight agaiu, and it will be better attended than last night, if not as well attended as it deserves. The hurling match was qnlte realistic, and it brought bacL pleasant memories aud perhaps a tear to some of the Irish boys, both old aud young, who attended last night.

This is an essentially Irish game, and a good one, when thoroughly understood. THE MIDNIGHT ALARM. In speaking of the "Midnight Alarm," tbe Philadelphia Press of October 13, says: "The Nationalist night held a largo audience which witnessed with evident enjoyment nnd considerable enthusiasm, tha rather thrilling five-act drama, "The Midnight Alarm." The excellent stage setting evoked much applause, the scenes where tho fast express flies across the draw bridge, after the attempt to wreck it bad been foiled, and the one showing the interior of the engine house, nnd the receipt of tho alarm of fire, changing to the exterior of tho house and showing the smoking steamer dashing through the storm to the fire, were realistic nnd thrilling." The "Midnight Alarm" will be presented at Crawford's Opera house Thanksgiving, mattnee and night. Price, evening ILOO, 75, 50 and 25: in itmee, 73. 50 and 25.

ODl AND K.M)n The sixtieth anniversity of the birth of ex President Garfield was celebrated at the university of that name ia.it night in a becoming mauner.
