A GREAT CHURCH EVENT.

The greatest church event of the season
will be at the cathedral Sunday morning
at high mass which begins at 1880. Gil
more's entire band will be there and his
celebrated quartette of French horns and
the Saxophone soloist will play. In ad
ditiou to this Mr.. O'Mahony the celebrated
operate basso singer will sing with the
choir This will be rare treat for lovers
of the beautiful in music and will IN
Questionably be the means of attracting
large crowd to the cathedral Prepare
lions will be made today to accommodate
visitors and seats will be placed in every
available portion of the spacious and ele-
CANT church. Those who have heard
Gilmore's famous quartette of French
horns, say it is almost impossible to fully
appreciate the purity and sweetness of the
music, and as for the Saxophone sOloist, it
is simply grand. Father Then IS delighted
with Mr.. Gilmore's kind offer, and regards
it as a great compliment to Wichita in
general and his church in particular. He
does not desire chat the Catholics should
monopolize all the pleasure incident to the
event for he issues a special invitation to
non-Catholics to be present as well,
whether they be Hebrews or Professionals
He thinks it proper that all good people
should be allowed a share in such a
pleasant and profitable event, for there IS
only one Gilmore, and it is probable that
he may never be in Wichita on Sunday
again.

ment commenced The orchestra fur
nished fine music. Mrs. |. \. Singer
favored the audience with a vocal solo
which met with great applause. Mrs.
Singer is a very fine singer and she richly
deserved the generous applause which she
received. ''Tbe Vagabonds" was recited
bv Miss Cramer in manner which ELECTED
the hearty applause of all present, The
trombone solo by Charles Collins was
exquisite and added materially to his fame
as fine musician. The medleJ by Miss
Pedigo of Pratt was elegant and the guitar
duet bv Mrs. Norris and Miss Ebey was
excellent. The piano solo by Mr.. q. w.
Durran of Aichison was all that was
claimed for it and was so well received
that it was encored. The browning event
of the evenings entertainment was the
vocal duet by Misses Helen and May
Aherne. 1t was beautiful, and provoked
the most enthusiastic applause. The
Young ladies are very sweet singers and
everybody who heard them predicted that
they would yet make their mark IN the
musical world. They are both very tai
euted girls and completely captured the
audience The question up for debate was
handled admirably by Messrs. Keys and
McMichael.

HELD UP.
A Man Held Up in Broad Daylight, in the Gen.
trail Part OF the City,

A bold and daring hold up occurred in
broad daylight yesterday about II O'Clock
not half block frim the busiest and most
frequented portion of the city. Robert
Grimstead, who lives about eleven miles
southeast Of town, was standing at the
corner of Market and Douglas avenue,
waiting for an acquaintance who was do
ing some trading in a neighbcrIng store
He saw two men standing near the gov
eminent building conversing. When they
caught his eye they beckoned to him. On-
sHspectingly he complied, walked down 10
them and asked what they wanted They
told him that they wanted 20 talk to MIN
and proceeded east in the alley between
Douglas avenue and Williams street.
When they got in the rear
OF HOLIDAYS grocery store, one of the men
whipped out large revolver and pointing
it at Grimstead. ordered HIM to Keep per
feetly quiet They then proceeded TO rlne
his pockets and got about 50. The fellows
then quietly walked away. leaving the
plundered man to come to his senses.
As soon as be had recovered from his
surprise, the young man walked to Doug
las avenue, where he told the first person
he met, who happened to be colored man
With him he proceeded to police headquar-
tiers. where the facts were taken and onl-
GERS detailed to ferret out the matter. Inc
victim is a young man about IL years ola.
He is quite intelligent in his speech and
has an upright and straightforward LOOK
in his countenance. He looks as II he
would speak the truth at all times.
He has somewhat the appearance OF
a country boy, and his dress denotes tna1'
He describes the two men and says he
could readily recognize them One WAS a
short, heavy-set man, and the other taller
but well built. Both were well dressed
The boy was asked why be followed the
men. In reply be stated that as the men
bore a respectable appearance, and that IN
bright daylight in the center OF the busi-
ness part of town, he did not have any
reason TO suspect anything wrong Inc
police are hot after the fellows and will
probably have them before long.

THE METHODIST REVIVAL,

When Mr.. Shawhan stood before the
congregation assembled in the First NJ. h.
church last night. he looked into the faces
of the largest and most earnest company
that has vet attended the special revival
now in progress at that church. The SER
vice closed the first week of the labors OF
Evaugelists Shawhan aud Shaver, ana the
universal testimony is that the results OF
ia ter than was expected by
the most hopeful
.lStory of even Methodist
,Ivals has such substantial and steady
progress been made during the first week
as has been accomplished by the direct ana
forcible preaching of Mr.. Shawhan, ana
thesweet and melting songs OF Mr.. shaver
After song service OF thirty
minutes 4 last night, Mr.. Shawhan
preached from the text, For L am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ"
The central thought of the discourse
was Paul. the representative CHRISTIAN.
As Cleveland represents Democracy; as
Blaine represents Republicanism; rs Gin
ton b Fisk represented Prohibition, sc
Paul stands i'm history AS the representa-
tive of Christianity With wealth OF
illustration and incidents, though in great
simplicity. the preacher portrayed the
salient points in the life and experience
aud thought of Paul. and held him up as
a pattern worthy of imitation. But he
matter what Mr. Shawhan's theme. nor
how fully he fluids time 10 make frequent
personal appeals to his hearers to surren'
der themselves to the guidance OF Christ
and his knowledge of men and human lie
and experience render these appeals very
effective. Last night his incidental points
were keener, and his words pierced deeper
than usual He was terrible In his denim
citation of sin and in portrayal OF the JUG
ment, calm and deliberate in his presenta
tion of the beauty and attractiveness Of
the Christian life and of the Christian
death: pathetic and touching in his ap
peals to accept Christ.
There were few dry eyes in the room
when the minister gave the invitation &c
stand for prayers Many responded. ano
the altar service was earnest and helpful
Many gave testimony to Clearer expert
ence and there was every evidence thai
fhe Methodists are having n genuine re-
vivai

HUGH M,LEAK FOUND DEAD.

Hugh Mclean was fonnd dead in his bed
yesterday morning. What the cause of
his death was is unknown unless it was
old age As there was no probability that
his death was otherwise than natural an
inquest was not deemed necessary. The
old man was well known about the corner
of Main and Douglas, where he kept the
tracks of the street railway company
clean. He was pensioner OF the street
car company and was retained in its serv-
ice more for the work he had done than for
what be was able to do recently. He had
neither family nor money, and was buried
at the expense of the employees of the com
pany, who gave him decent interment.
He was sociable and harmless old man,
and was as honest as the day is long," as
the bows express it.
