PETE BAKER

| Monday night at Crawford Grand, a few
choice seats left.
| pete Baker-the very name brings up
| "reminiscences that cause a hearty laugh
| drew a handsome audience at POpe's yes
| terday afternoon. His merry laugh, and
rich voice, and clean German fun, and
even the very gestures of a German, all
are so natural, who could see and hear
him and not be entertained? Baker is not
to be surpassed in his rare impersonatiOn
of the Teutonic character. His gestures,
facial changes, dialect and every step and
movement are in harmony with the char
acters from Fatherland. He gave The
Emigrant," a laughable comedy, yester-
day afternoon, supported satisfactorily.
He evoked hearty enthusiasm by his clever
fun, songs and dances, and won the hearts
of all before him. Little Irene,
as Katie, was a sweet little
girl that commanded overwhelming
applause by her frank, childish manner
and pretty songs, 1.-THE Teasing Child, -
''Tob0gganing, " and Sweet Christina, 5"
are songs composed and sung by Pete"
self, and he richly deserved the encOreS
promptly accorded them. The scenery is
worth mention. Each of the four acts ends
with a startling situation and tableau.
The mill on fire, at the close of the first
act, is probably as pretty a tableau as is
given. The costumes are very stylish, but
those of Mr.. Baker stand pre-eminently
above the others in point of richness.
The odd styles in tlashy colored velvets
make him a stricking figure. The Emf
grant" is a good tonic. You can't see it
without laughing heartily.-GlObe Demo

BISHOP TAYLOR IN WICHITA.
The sale of tickets for Bishop Taylor's
lecture next Monday evening at the First
VI. +. church has been very gratifying and
it IS very evident that large audience is
in waiting for this grand apostle. The
subioined is taken from a recent address
to an immense audience in Ohio:
The missionaries pray, preach and ex-
pound the bible to the people, and they
are followed by these young converts. The
children have a wonderful effect, and after
the services close the people remain and
beg the children to repeat their remarks.
At one of the missions was a little girl
named Nelly. She was only about five
years old and had not been converted. She
attended one of these meetings and asked
her teacher if she could not speak. The
request was granted and she said: Il
want be good and live with Jesus and |
want to 90 there to- You people ought
not to sin so you can live with God" The
little thing said this with streaming eyes,
and II was speech that was soon tOI-
lowed by conversion.
This is the way we expect to evangelize
Africa. We now have thirty-six stations
and if | can live twenty years more there
viii be coo stations, and they will each
create two more stations, making a total
Of 5000 stations The evangelization Of
South America is on a different plan.
There they are Catholics, and the only way
TO reach them is by high class education.
1t requires considerable money to estab-
lish colleges and seninaries. At San Diego
we have a seminary that earned 50, 900
last year. and after paying all the expenses
there was sI6.O 900 left. This is to be used
for establishing other places. In China
and Japan the missions must be paid for
for years. The population Is poor, the
lands are owned by land aristoctacy,
making it everlasting starvation for the
masses.
