CLASS MUSICALE.

Last evening class musicale was given
by the Wichita School OF Music at Como
yer Bro S wareroom, No. PAS North Main
street. The affair was complimentary, in
vitations having been given TO quite
number of music lovers of tne city. There
was very generous response, for not only
were ali the seats provided taken, but
many were compelled to remain standing
in the rear of the room. Mr.. Mccoy had
spared no pains to have everything well
arranged. The large store room was at
tractively decorated and Steinway grand
piano had been provided for the instru-
mental performers.
I The excellent program opened with a
piano Duet, Flor de Margherita.' by
Mrs Crawford and Mr. Stark. 1t was
certainly delightful beginning,
Mrs. Crawford's exenution of the
selection being particularly artistic
and finished. The second number
was likewise one of decided merit. 1t was
vocal solos by Miss Hamblin; Meyerberr's
'.Nobil Signorr and Lists "Tho'rt Like
Lovely Flower" Both We're beautiful.
the last especially giving an admirable
opportunity for the display of the volume
and the purity of the voice of this gifted
singer. She was greeted with applause
and the audience tried hard to have a
repetition of such musical gems.
This was followed by very cleverlv
rendered baritone solo, Evers' storm
Winds" by Mr.. Slosser. After which came
Blumenthals Venetian Boat Song by
Mrs. Coen and Miss Hamblin. This, too
was excellent, Mrs. Coen proving herself
the possessor of rich, pure and cultured
voice
After well rendered baritone solo,
Dearest Heart, Farewell" by Mr. Smith
son, Mrs. Crawford again delighted the
audience by playing Bartlett's Grand
Polka de Concert, OPP. l."
The solos by Miss Octaria Hobbs, Mr.
Robert Smyth and Mr.. Garst were all
worthy of commentator and were all
highly appreciated.
Mendelsohn's Midsummer Night
Dream was delightfully."- rendered by Miss
Guthrie and Mrs. Crawford
Miss Earl was gladly received, last night
being her first appearance at public en-
tertainment for almost a year. In the
interim she has been studiously cultivat-
ing her voice, and her pleasing rendition
of Good Night" showed that the training
had made it only richer, purer and sweeter
Another number worthy of the highest
praise was the bass solo by Mr. Will
Bracken. He has certainly deep, rich
voice; and so delighted were his auditors
with the song that they demanded an
encore, which he gave.
The entertainment so pleasing aud en-
joyable throughout was ended by the
Hungarian IntermetZzo by Mrs. Crawford
and Mr.. Stark. 1t met with the same high
appreciation and kindly reception given
the other numbers of the programme.

NEW BATH HOUSE.

The additions made by Mr.. Bonnetti to
his palace barber shop Oh East Douglas
are very desirable and will be thoroughly
appreciated by his patrons In the rear Of
his room he has had constructed eight bath
rooms: all large, elegantly arranged. and
fitted up with large tubs, shower baths,
mirrors and other necessaries for - luxu-
rious bath. The tubs are ali OF ii new and
improved pattern; the manner OF letting
on and off the water is new and prevents
the rising of steam in the room. OF the
superiority of the plumbing, which was
done by Messrs. killeen * Stockinger, Mr..
Bonnetti speaks in the highest terms and
says that it is unequaled.
Besides the bath rooms there has also
been put in an engine and boiler, in
which can he heated 400 gallons of water
an hour, The improvement is good one
and credit to its protector

G. w. WILSON'S MEETINGS.
The Interest Unsbated-The Great Revival
Spreading to Surro unding Churches.

The interest in the meetings at the NJ. +.
church continues. At the afternoon meet
ing yesterday Mr.. Wilson's lecture was lis
tened to attentively, frequent questions
being propounded by the audience. The
subject was ''Sin, Sins and Infirmities. !"
The evangelist claimed that sinful ma
ture was the cause and sins the effect. He
spoke at some length and tried to show
to his hearers the difference between sins
and infirmities He claimed that sin was
a wrong act in the will, and that there was
no imperfection in the will Sin is a vol
untary act and is the result of perverted
affections. We will to do what our per-
verted affections demand There is no
power on earth to make man sin against
his will. There is no such thing as per-
feet human mind. The very best minds
will make mistakes. There is, therefore,
no such thing in man as absolute perfec-
ton"
These are some of the points made by
the evangelist. He also made numerous
quotations from the Scriptures in proof of
the theories that spiritual strength may be
obtained which will help Christians to
bear physical infrmities. But this was
not special work of the Spirit He took
strong grounds against special provi-
dences. That no one received a blessing
only in conformity to Spiritual law that
is universal in its application to mankind.
Mr.. Wilson claimed many sins, or what
we call sins, are committed through igno-
rance. He would urge the church to great
boundless charity for our fellow men.
The church last night was not so
crowded as heretofore and all were able
to get seats. Mr.. Wilson gave notice
that he had selected for his text ''Jesus
Christ came into the world to save sin
ners," and that he did not intend to preach,
but wanted all present to speak who could
give any testimony in regard to the truth
of this text A great many took the oppor
tunity to testify. Among the number
were several ministers. The singing was
led by Mr.. Kennedy and was lively and in
spring The meeting developed into
regular old fashioned love feast. 1t was
christian jubilee, in which all present
seemed to enter with an earnestness that
was good to look upon. One minister
present said the good work started in the
church here was spreading tothe surround
ing country, and he believed great work
would yet be accomplished, much greater
than had yet been done.

CARPENTERS ROBBED.

Yesterday morning City Marshal Haines
was notified of the thefts of quite large
number of tools from an unfinished house
near the Union depot. There were employ
ed at the place eighteen carpenters and all
have been 10 a more or less extent loosers
by the depreciation of these sneak thieves
SO cleverly was the theft committed that
there seems TO be absolutely no clue for
the detection of the perpetrators. The
officers, however. are of the opinion tina,
the deed was done by some member or
members of the gang that have of late dis
tinguished themselves by their rascality

be one of the most important in the
amusement annals not only of the city but
of the state.

Baron" THE libretto is from a novel of

What wonder the box office is taken by
storm every morning, and that after nine

money? Strauss, carried away by the
brightly original subject, has surpassed
his former works 1t is difficult
TO imagine series of scenes more interest

companied by music which is at once ten
der, gay and original.
