TIE SECOND NIGHT OF ..BES HuK. -

4 remarkably fine audience, one OF the
largest of the season, greeted the second
performance OF the Ben Hur' panto-
mime. Messrs Clark and Cox may well
be proud OF the praise lavished on theft
complete and unique entertainments
Certainly the scenic effects have never
been equsIled in Wichita: so harmonious
in coloriug, so wonderful in perspective
drawing, 50 true ia his DRY. Il IS a pleas
ure to pass judgement upon that feature
The experience OF the trained professional
was seen at every step of the performance
IN the rapid changing OF scenes The
prompt response OF the orchestra. the
splendid discipline OF the multitude
on the stage. Shaw orchestra scored a
success. Though the music was not diff
cult, the tax of continuous playing from
the rising Of the curtain TO the fall, must
have been severe on the musicians. Prof
Blume, however. played with uneeasing
vigor and sustained sweetness from be
ginning TO end
As regards the actors individually the
opinion Of the EAGLE IS still held in abey-
auce. Another night will test their true
worth. As a whole the performance was
excellent, making exceptions to two scenes,
the drill Of the Roman soldiers and the
march of the maids. Effective as were the
iocas OF the former and the glItteri ng
dresses OF the latter, the movements lett
much TO be desired, due no doubt TO the
lack OF self-possession on the part OF indi-
viduals At critical points. Bag the dances
more than made amends for tie short
comiags of the drills. l. Is safe to say
that a prettier set Of girls could not DC
found in the length and breadth Of the
land They were grace and modesty en-
bodied With their flowing locks,
their bright eyes. graceful figures,
and dainty feet with their
variagated costumes, tNmbourines, casta-
nets. and gay scarfs. They were symbolic
OF all that is pure and lovely, joyous and
lght-heartei. Many were the murmurs
Of appreciation heard on all sides.
The tableaux were arranged IN a
way 10 disarm criticism. Against brilliant
backgrounds the figures 10 their flowing
Jewish costumes or classic GreciRn robes,
were most effectively displayed. The first
tableau, representing Joseph and Mary
iourneying toword Bethlehem, will long
linger in the minds of all susceptible TO
the aesthetic and the religious.
Not less beautiful was one OF the closing
tableaux in which Ben Hur's mother and
his sister Tirzah appear il radiant white
cleaused of the leprosy, rejoicing over
their reunion, the good and faithful
Amrah kneeliug a: their feet.
OF the closing aIlesory again there can
be nothing said. Words fail. Nothing
more gorgeous can be imagined.
1t is q well merited tribute To the taste
refinement, and purity of Ben Hur that
the students Of All Hallows academy will
attend n body at the Saturday matinee.

LookEpIN Upon THEN.

VI. W. Levy came in yesterday morning
from Kansas City where be has been on
business He stopped over at Topeka
long enough TO have an interview with
Governor LeweIling who seemed to be
astonished and worried over the unex-
pected problem confronting him. Mr..
Levy also had a consultation as a member
OF the state central committee. with the
Republican leaders Of the house and with
other representative Republicans OF the
state, present at the capital Mr.. Levy is
inclined TO the belief that the extreme
revolutionists OF the jerry Simpson stripe
will find il impossible 10 override the ie-
gally constituted majority. Notwith
standing which opinion. he found very
wild men who were ready TO resort TO any
extreme. II may seem incredible TO those
who know the character and standing OF
the man, but it is time that Noah Alien
and that class OF meu are potent IN their
influence with the men who are holding
the Teins Of the state. From what Mr..
Levy says, it is evident that there are men
in the Populist party at Topeka ad7oca-
ting the sweeping aside of everything that
might stand in their way not excepting
the highest legal tribunal ia the state

CURIOUS CROWDS.

The Boston dry goods store is again the
attraction for the curious, and ali day
Yesterday crowd stood before one Of lis
show windows. gaping IN establishment at
Professor Myers, the lightning scene
artist OF New York, turning out really
beautiful oil paintings every ten minutes.
About a year ago Mr.. Myers was here for
the first time and painted probably lHO
pictures for the Boston store with such a
remarkable degree Of success that they
have again secured him at big expense,
for especial talent always comes high.
Those who know nothing about paint
ing wonder at the rapidlty with which
Mr.. Meyers completes n scene and natur-
ally think they can't be good, but In this
they are mistaken, for Mr.. Meyers studied
the art under the famous GAVIN and IS
reunited 10 be one OF the best scenic artists
in his country. The present patrons oil
the paintings are mostly those who secur-
ed some Of them last year which Is The
best evidence ID the world Of their merit.
He is certainly an expert IN the art Oh
combining colOrs as all painters who have
seen his work must admit or ackuowlelgt
themselves ignorant o. the srt. HIS
wonderful rapidIty enables linn Il
complete these paintings cheap anu
heuce. the Boston store are enabled L,
give them away TO their customers with
comparatively small purchase They
practically give them away, for the prohu
of the goods they sell do not more thar
pay for the expense OF handling them
But they get in their work in another way
rs the handsome pictures hanging on th'
walls OF every home are constant remind
ers OF the Boston store, and 10 that insU
tuition tie ladies Will naturally turn wheI
they want dry goods In securing the tai

Are you going to keep up
with the times and have your
House lit up by Electricity,
or are you going to keep
right on in the same old rut

you have grown use to the un-
comfortable heat, the strong
odor, to say nothing of the
danger from EXPLOSIONS, and
bother of cleaning and filling
your lamps, ordering your oil,
