SAU All BRAH, who gives another of his
unique entertainments in the city tonight, is a
gentleman worthy of the fullest confidence and
support of the public. He comes thoroughly in
dorsed by Christian gentlemen of repute, partic
ularly by leading Baptists, of which denomina-
ton he is a member. He is a Burmese convert
to Christianity, graduate of a classical college
and also of college of medicine and it is his
desire to equip himself thoroughly for medical
and surgical labors among his own people in
the land of the elephant to whom he will return
after he finishes his tour of this country He is
man Of thorough culture and unquestioned
Christian character While foreigners can
come to the United States and take back large
profits made on the rostrum and on the stage, it
certainly should be that a converted Burmese
can be furnished with ample means to equip
himself for Christian work.

IT is getting so that man cannot write book
without being accused of some Interior motive
other than that of desire to benefit his fellow
citizens. They are saying now, that Blaines

time is part of deeplad scheme to bring the
distinguished author prominently before the
public at critical moment This is cruel and
slanderous; but no one is safe. P. T. Barnum
is completing book, also, and, just as likely as
not, some one will be mean enough to charge
him with bringing the volume out for advertising
purposes, simply because the circus season hap
