UNITY CLUB.

The Unity club met at the pleasant resi-
dence of Mrs. Lease, last evening. The at
tendance was larger than at any previous
meeting, and the great interest which has
attended their meetings heretofore did not
seem in the least degree abated.
Some of those who were announced to
participate in the program were unavoida-
bly, absent. However, program of exer-
cises occupying more than two hours, was
given to the complete satisfaction of all
present.
The entertainment opened with a violin
solo by Prof. Wolfe of the Garfield Uni
versity. He is an artist of superior ability
and his performance of last evening has
certainly added to the list of his admirers
Then followed quotations of choice bits
of philosophy and sentiment from the
book under dissatisfaction Hur.
Prof. Woody, of the university, gave a
short impromptu talk on the great novel,
adding numerous interesting fact per-
taing to the life of the novelist and the
motives under which he wrote the work
The general discussion following was ami
mated and taken part in by numerous
members and visitors.
Miss Eldrige,. accompanied by Miss
Cave, then favored the audience with a
SOLO Miss Eldrige possesses a voice of
unusual sweetness and her singing was
not less than captivating. Miss Cave
gave the potion Scene" from Romeo
and Juliet with her characteristic force
of expression and action.
DIR. Searls stirred the emotions and gave
food for serious thought by an grafton
entitled, "Are we Satisfied?'
Prof. Wolfe was again called out and in
answer to a hearty encore played that
ever pleasing production in the hands of a
master, 1.-The Mocking Bird"
The next meeting will be held at the hall
of the Sons of Herman, two weeks from
last evening. at which Dickens master
piece, David Copperfield, will be the special
subject for consideration.
The originators of the Unity club are
highly pleased with the success of the
organization, and favors shown it, and
are expecting the next meeting to eclipse
all previous ones, as the hall selected is
more spacious and centrally located than
are any of the dwellings at their disposal.

CITY MARKETS.
A Question Again Being Agitatsi-Private En-
terprises ann the Old City scheme Revived.

Mr.. a E. Miller was yesterday circulat-
ing a petition for aiding the scheme OF
rconverting the old Crawford opera house
into market house. The petition at first
seemed to be looked upon with suspicion,
from the fact 1t concerned a building for
SO long completely buried in ''cusses'' by
type and tongue. A second thought, how
ever, seemed to bring out some merit, and
as result the petition was bearing quite
a number of names. The petition was be-
ing circulated among the property owners
who it was thought would be benefited by
putting market there and asking annual
contributions for such supposed benefit.
The scheme is to change the building,
making it suitable for market: also get
fifty feet adjoining on the south: roof it
probably with corrogated iron and divide
it into stall; also divide the building
into stalls. This will give front ON Mar
ket street of one hundred feet and front
on First street of one hundred and forty
feet
Two gentlemen have the scheme
in view and promise to make all
necessary charges to bring about fair
accommodations for city market. 1t is
hoped to have all arrangements completed
by the middle of May.
A gentleman interested in the matter
stated last evening that he thought the
city council should appoint market house
inspector, whose duty it should be to in
spect all truck brought there fo1 sale. In
speaking of his pay, he said if the enter
prise belonged to the city, of course the
city would be expected to pay the in
spector but as it threatens to be private
concern the city council might deem it
wise and eminently fitting that the gen
tlemen interested in the concern should
pay man for this work.
While the scheme of opening a market
house by private parties is on foot it seems
to have had an invigorating effect on the
market house scheme talked some time
ago about. being the result of the city and
some private individuals A councilman
who has for some time favored the idea of
the city providing a market, stated that he
had nat in the least changed his views and
thought ample market facilities should yet
be given the farmers and citizens Of the
city. He thought it high time that the
city provide for two markets. If it was
decided not advisable to buy ground to be
used for this purpose he favored using
part of some Of the wide streets like
number Of other cities. By doing this the
council might set apart four markets
which would give the people good facilities
for buying. The gentleman said he would
favor considering the matter seriously at
| the next.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.


"Sybif' is good play. tull of interest,
well-drawn characters, good comedy and
strong situations. There Is nothing forced,
everything, even to the songs, coming i'll
naturally and in keeping with the scenes.
Taken all i'll all, ''Sybip is as good "a play
written for a star as has been presented
here for long time. Miss kemble, the
star, was admirable as Sybil This lady
needs no words of praise on the score of
being an actress, having proved herself as
soubrette, opera b0uffe prima donna, etc,
but OF her as Irish comedienne we must
now speak. a JOnuy figure, quick, ner-
vous and graceful manner, a bright, pretty,
intelligent face, dark, lustrons eyes pearly
teeth and bewitching smile constitute the
stock in trade of Miss kemble, and with
all the cleverness of her sex-the Lord love
them-she just set the house afiame last
evening She was everything pleasing by
turns, but nothing long. She frowned and
laughed and joked-Irish jokes-and was
tender to tears, and again jolly to jollity,
and then tear would result from her
words. In truth she proved herself a great
actress. Her singing was worthy of an
opera prima donna, and the songs came in
naturally, a something not often accom-
plished Little Ada Terry as Bessie, tot,
was grand. The little thing displayed a
talent far beyond her.years, and delighted
all who saw her. ''Sybil'' is good play
and Miss Frankie Kembie the only Irish
coincidence in this couatry.-New York
Daily News.
'RUSTED,"
the musical comedy that pleased and de
lighted quite a good sized crowd at the
Crawford Grand Thursday night, will be
repeated tonight in order to give all an
opportunity TO hear and see it. Mr.. Lodge
has secured this promise from the mem
bers of the company upon the offer of quite
a good-sized bonus, and his efforts will
no doubt meet with high appreciation
from theater goers.
MISS BLOOMFIELD.
Boston Evening Transcript, Monday,
Jan. &c, 1855, saws: Miss Bloomfield made
"a very strong impression with her playing
of the Henselt Concerto. The work Is no
joke for any pianist, but this young girl
seemed to make light of both its terrible
technical difficulty and the demands IL
makes upon the physical strength and en-
durance of the PLAYER 4 finer technique
than hers we can not remember.
New York Commercial Advertiser, Mon
dav, February 2, 1855, says: Miss Fannie
Bloomfield made her first appearance in
this CITY and created n sensation such a. i
not frequently witnessed in Il concert hall
in the case Of a comparatively unknown
performer.

Chopin's indante and PolonaIse. and the

.WORKING-w OMAN'S BENEFICIAL AND
PROTECTIVE UNION

To the Women OF Wichita.
For years the painful problem has been
forced upon me that the condition of work
ing-women throughout the land. both in
city and country, calls for more earnest at
tention-more universal assistance than
has ever yet been accorded it.
The need of an organization for the bet
terment and protection of the working
women OF our city has been brought TO my
attention more than once, and for this pur-
pose | have formulated plan which has
succeeded admirably in the large cities as
a beneficiary and protective union, !
earnestly ask the women of our city from
all elements of society, who have a desire
to help themselves, or assist in helping
others, to meet at Princess Hall, 800 East
Douglas avenue, Saturday evening, March
g. at O'clock, for the purpose of receiving
full information and condolences relative
TO the proposed union; and let it be under
stood that this organization, wherever i
exists, shall be controlled and composed
exclusively of women. and the sole object.
aim and purpose of this organization shall
be the welfare elevation and promotion OF
all women, and no woman shall suffer for
such assistance or protection as lies in the
power of this organization TO give. Our
motsoe shall be:
Live nobly, do right and do good make
the best
OF the work and the gifts set before US.
And to God, without fear. leave the rest. d"

A SAY ON GAS COMPANY,

A member of the gas company yesterday
insisted that if the item in yesterdays
paper referred to no street lamps burning
in the early part of the night it did the
company an injustice. He insisted that
the contract between the company and
city was to light according to the moon
table and not according TO the storm table.
If it CHANGED to be raining and cloudy
when the moon was shining above the
clouds, the company had not agreed TO
light the lamps until ''moondown." AS
to no gas for residents, he had not heard of
any complaints being filed.
