To the Editor of Tna BEE : The following appeared in the local page of your paper a few days ago : The people out on West Owning street nro rejoicing in the fact that the council did not approve of the change of grade on that thoroughfare. It was the desire of some few "monopolists" to have a now cut of ton feet jnadu at ono portion , and the lota already being - ing thirty-four feet above the wtroet from the n'rht gri ding , this would , it I ) thought , bo a llttlu too much of n good thing , aa the real dpnts did not euro to ba perched up quits HO high. < The proposition only got the endorse ment of ono councilman. The above was evidently instigated by un interested party and is untrue in al most every particular , but it Illustrates the manner by which two or throe men have attempted to impede public inter- fist for selfish reasons , and is evidently done to create public eontiraont to aid in carrying out their own selfish desires , No less than nine-tenths of the people on Cuming , Sixteenth street and in the country west want the unsightly hill west of the military bridge cut and the ravine west filled , and they feel sadly disap pointed that the grade is not changed. It was not the desire of a few "monop olists" but of the many retail business men and the f armors who como in over that road. The proposed ton foot cut is very short &nd property Is not already thirty-four feet higher than the present grade , nor half or one-third of that. Back on the ' nill where a rich man lives , and draws a ' largo salary from the government , the height to his porch may be thirty-four feet , but this is not on Oumlng street , lie owns horses and carriages and is able . to hire a man to drive up to his residence , , Should the entire business people , work ing men and trades people bo compelled to walk over this hill for his benefit. Another man who rides In his carriage to and from the city opposes the cut because the crown of the hill is not loft at his place. If this could bo done ho would' ' favor It and sacrifice all hii neighbors who live east of him. The third man who opposes it strongly seems to have nothing to do but to fight every thing which is proposed for the general ' good of that part of town , ur. loss he is bought of. All thla property 'hn been doubled in value by the horse car and will ba Improved if the now proposed grade is made. If not made Cumingl street with all its prospects can sever be a trade center. ' The people in this part of town feel ; in the matter and will always strongly oppose the seven councilmci who favored the proposed change o ; aradr. They will never npprovo the tivo nlio oppose it for the benefit of two or thrro who continually howl about "monopolists , " when they themselves are all able to live without work. This old dodge about "monopolists" vhon re Eortcd toby rich men rcmindp'usof the ok story "Who hilled Ock Robtn. " OXB WHO KNOWS FACTS AND WOUKS rou ins Lmxo Oliltunry. Lorits C.

Ono notable feature of the procession iran that there were but two or throe hacks , nnd that the long line of mourn- OH were convoyed in private carriages , a rare occurrence. The line of march was up Farnam to Fifteenth , north on Fif teenth to Djuglas , west to Sixteenth , north to Oumlng and thence by the usual route to the cemetery. Crowds of citi zens lined the streets all along the route , and gazed with respect upon the last hon ors paid to the doad. | J At Prospect hill , the Cold muslo led the procession , which filed slowly through avenues of the city of the dead , to the nolancholy notes of the bugle.

Wich ita wni nlwnya the headquarters of P.iynu'a Oklahoma colony. This was the lioino of Payne , and ono of the finest townships ot this conntyis named I'nyno Township , nfter Capt. D. L , Payne , the Oklahoma boonler. Payne's sudden death at Wellington. Kan. , on the 28th inat. , instead of dampening the ardor of his followers will only draw attention to the fact that his cause was just , the courts having so decided , nnd after a ton years' struggle Payne dies upon hearing the nowc of n decision made by. Judge Footer , United States District Judge nt Topokn , which recognizes the 1 > IOCO,000 acres of land known ns the Oklahoma Linds ns Government lands , n portion of the public domain and only needing Con- crostiontkl action to open the same to set tlement. For ton long years Capt. Payne hnd labored in this cause. lie had been re peatedly arrested nnd dragged behind sutler wagoni , had lived on raw dog nnd BulTirod innumerable privations. Ills following was n numerous ono. Fully 10,000 people , residing in Kansas , Ne braska , Texas , Colorado and Missouri , nro now members of the Oklahoma cole ny. To this numerous colony Payne's sudden death on the very eve of success will bo a severe blow. Senator Plumb , of Kansas , is moving in the Oklahoma matter. Ilia bill was introduced last winter and will bo pressed at the present session. This Irill will probably bo in troduced in the house by Judge Peters , of the Seventh Kansas district. And the United States courts having decided the status of these lands , congressional nction , in the establishment of United States laud oflicos in Oklahoma , is only necessary to open them for settlement. The writer had an intimate personal acqudintuncowlth ] Payne , and the open ing of Oklahoma had booomo a mania with him. Pay no was a largo , command ing , grave man , easy of manners , polish ed in conversation , and n very Chester field in politeness. lie nlwnyn dressed ns a frontiersman , and was n dead shot with a rlllo. lie often boasted that thirty days after Oklahoma opened would sco 110,000 settlers upon the Ok lahoma lands.

Pay no served In the Kansas hoiiso in 1805 from Donlphan county , IIo served in the Union nrmy during the war , nnd had four discharges , Ho was a captain in the Nineteenth Kan sas regiment. Payne was generous to n fault , and would loan his last cent to a friend. Neither did ho hesitate to borrow freely. IIo was n forcible speaker , and hnd a wonderful control over his ooloniitn. In his ipoochofi ho nlways aroused great enthusiasm. : During tlio few years past lie has only thought , road and dreamed the opening of Oklahoma. IIo be lieved that in tlio very near future the entire Indian Territory would bo thrown open 1 to settlement. Ho had given great ca.ro nnd thought to ell of * the law gov- jrning the subject , and had spent weeks In consultation with the best legal talent : Kaunas , Kansas City , St. Louis , and oven Now York city , The Indian t Territory , Including the Oklahoma lands , is without doubt the most body of land in the union unsettled jy the whites , Its settlement is u mut er of all absorbing Interest to the Amor- can people , ns the available lands of the lublio domain are getting scarce.

Nat that It IB pret ty or pretentious , or worth visiting but It is an enterprising , republican , go- ahead place. Most of the houses are small and old , and are built without any regard to being on the atroot.

The president's house , government house , arsenal , barracks and custom houio , stand on wide boulevard ? , nud with the % xcapUon of the latter , are as well built ns the similar buildings in any Amorioan city of the aamo rank. Remember that fifteen years ago it was sacked by the Brazlllian army , and look at It now is a busy trading town of 00,000 people , many of them of fine civilization. I will not go Into dusty details but assure you that , though isolated , Paraguay la a state worth knowing.

Ciillott , who appears in "Tho Secretary" at Library 1UII next week , tells a funny utory about himself , in which ho explains why ho know ho would take in hij now part. It should bo understood that "Tho Secretary" is the story of a tutor's trials , "I know the play would suit me , " said Mr. Gillett - lott , in epeukin ; ; of It , "for I had been a private tutor myculf once and cot into just such a scripo , It was in 1870 , right after 1 graduated from Harvard. 1 was employed in Philadelphia to act ns tutor to a gentleman's son In Now York. When I got there the first persona I met in the house were a couple of handsome young girls. They had boon 01 pectin j ; a cousin und at once mistook mo for the gontloman. They foil upon my nock and gave mo the narmeat kind of a greeting. Talk about kissing. 1 got daaes rod-hot from the mill. The old story about n cow palling her hoof out of the mud was nowhere. They kissed mo forty times if they klssod mo once , and then gave mo a chance to explain. When they discovered that I wasn't their couniu they collapsed. 1 told them not to blush , that kiislng wasn't ' injurious to my health , and if they were not hurt I felt all right. I explained that I had boon shaved that morning and my board couldn't have scraped them. It was funny , but kind of embarrassing ta the jlrlfl , I became tutor to the family , iiovrovor , and myself and thu ladies seldom afterwards spoke. I have often felt Berry _ that 1 wasn't born a coachman. The Incidents in 'Tho Secretary' are somewhat like this , only funnier , and that is why I took such a liking to the the play.
