Amusements.

Ladies and children will be especially in
terested in the performances Of trained
animals now being given by Prof. Salvini
at English's. The monkeys, dogs, goats
and ponies do tricks that are little less
than wonderful. and far excel anything of
the kind ever seen here before. Perform
ances will be given every afternoon and
evening during the week.
There is more fun and pretty music in
"a Hole in the Ground" which will be
given at the Grand tomorrow night and
during the rest of the week, than in any
other of Mr.. Hoyt's farce-cOmedies. and
the original company will present it here.
The specialties are all new this season.
Manager Talbot has received the adj
vance specifications for the production of
''The Merchant of Venice" with which
Messrs. Booth and Barrett will open their
engagement here. They are very elaborate
and complex and show that the production
will be the greatest one ever given Shak-
spearian play in this city. Four carloads
of scenery are employed for this piece alone
and seventy people. The advance sale of
seats for the engagement Will begin at the
b~ox-office of English's next Saturday morn
ing. and from present indications the de-
mand will be the greatest ever known
here. Orders are coming in by wholesale
from out of town. This will probably be
the last opportunity to see Mr.. Booth act.

Will Push on the Work.

Mr.. Chadwick, who win have charge of
the construction of the soldiers monument,
is in the city. Active work. he says, will
begin at once. Yesterday a Toulouse was
erected. and considerable other work
of preparation done. 1t is not probable
there will be any delay in erecting
the monument even if the State
should not be relieved of its present
financial embarrassment. The contractors.
1t is understood. are willing to go ahead
with the work and wait for their money.
1t is the desire of the monument commits
sioners to lay the cornerstone on the 4th
of July. Mr.. Chadwick thinks it will be
possible to be ready for the ceremony on
that date, and If in a few weeks it is evil
dent that day can be chosen for the exer-
cises. arrangements will be made for a
great demonstration.

The art is mutually dependent on the

virtue of both is to know when TO be silent
at the proper time. Too many people. while
to let their minds wander and think of
what they in turn are going to say. The
one great necessity is the cultivation of
the mind. Conversation as a fine art is a
mystery, and 1T can hardly be taught. for
practice and cultivation are two factors
that are at the same time powerful In their

Presbyterian Interests.

The ministers and elders of all the Pres
byterian churches of the city met last
night, in the First Presbyterian Church, to
discuss the present outlook of work. and
the necessity for added efforts to promote
the interests of the denomination. In this
district of church work are included the
counties of Putnam, Marion, Hancock,
Hendricks. Morgan, johnson, Monroe,
Brown and Bartholomew, and throughout
this entire territory there are only thirty
five churches of Presbyterian faith. aggre-
eating a total roll of 5.726 active members.
At the meeting last night the subject was
discussed to some length as to the hest
means of extending the parstorate work,
and of grouping the outside churches under
amore perfect system. The great need, it
Is claimed. is some plan by which its work
may be extended, and, although no definite
steps were taken, the agitation of the sub
church interests.

Call to the Rev. W.. J. Taylor.
The members of the First Baptist Church
last evening met to further consider the
proposition to call to its passionate Rev. w.
j. Taylor, of Orange, n. J.. DR.. Day pre-
sided. and in reference to his request for
remarks, +. w. Douglas, one of the commit

several letters from Baptists in the East

Taylor. A vote being taken on the propo-
sition to call him to the church, but three
were given in the negative. 1t was almost
unanimously decided to pay Mr.. TAYLOR
$4,000 year. He is to lave six weeks vaca-

THE KEY TO THE STREET.

Amongst the signs OF metropolitan
greatness that are carefully noted by the
observant spectator perhaps Wichita can
furnish as many as the average city. Per-
haps the least important Of these is the
number of people who nightly have the
key to the street. One can always find peo-
pie in the street at any hour Of the night
who evidently have no business there ana
one can only account for this by admitting
that men sometimes get mania which
makes them averse to gong nome.
But there is class OF people
who have no home to go to and want 60 SIT
around the hotel office all night until their
clothes become so shabby that they feel
they cannot be tolerated there. Then they
make for the police headquarters and ask
to be sheltered there as an ordinary prls-
oner for the night Scarcely night passes
but several find bed amongst the few
stray drunks that the police run IN dur
ing the day AS a rule these are all
tramps, whose history if followed
back would prove them to
have been tramps for years,
but occasionally there is an exception. A
few nights ago a poorly and thinly clad
individual made application to the turn
key for nights lodging. The request
was granted, of course, and the applicant
went down to the cooler to inspect his
| Quarters. As soon as he caught glimpse
| of it's inside, which was not at all inviting
for cooler, he said he guessed he would
not STOP and turned away into the street.
| The turnkey was not mnch surprised, and
simply remarked that the applicant was
very fastidious. \ gentleman OF
undoubted veracity told the reporter that
morning that he had known the applicant
of the night before, only a few yesrs back,
when he was in position of affuence. He
further added that he did not believe that
he had ever had a glimpse of the inside Of
a lookup before in his life. In conclusion
the speaker simply said that the man had
been the victim of circumstances and that
he would see to it that he should be FUR
nished with lodgings and food that
might be considered comfortable at least

PREPARATIONS FOR THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgi wing services will be held in
the city schools at 4:30 this evening. In
each school one of the teachers will give
the pupils a short lecture on Thauksgiv-
ing, its origin, observance, and no doubt
will prove quite interesting to pupils
Yesterday paper bags by the thousands
were being distributed in the schools and
it is hoped the little boys and girls will re-
turn today with the bags fsaed with dona-
tions of some sort interesting to the be-
nevolent institutions Of the Gty. The do
nations will be collected this evening and
apportioned to the different places for
which they are intended.
The banks of the city haye out cards
that tomorrow is legal holiday. and
hence doors will not be opened. There is
no suggestion or intimation, however,
that interest will suspend for the day or
that a deposit of a few hundred thousand
would be rejected at the back door and
credit given.
All the wholesale houses and all the
leading retail establishments will close,
and the day will be respected in the city
with as much care AS ever. A number OF
union services will be held

FIGURING ON THE SITUATION.

Mr. J. *. Johnston, superintendent OF
the Pacific Express company, reached the
city Yesterday looking after business mat
tiers. He had heard of a slight ripple in.the
company's affairs at Conway Springs and
supposed there was something in 1t" Tor
somebody. In fact he was so sure OF 1t
that the banks in the city concerned were
called upon and loss paid off.
AS reported by gentleman connected
with the company yesterday two lively
detectives have the matter in hand and it
is expected they will be able to at least re-
port progress in few days, by the last of
the month at any rate. 1t is not thought
however, that the present trouble will be
settled as easily as the one of few months
ago occurring in the office OF the company
here.
