Look at the river Of the past, an Amazon of souls floating out into the shadow, the mystery Of life! What a variation!

Polls Wonderland Thenter.

POt1'S WI "OnUeriant 1nenses.
 The star feature of this weeks bill at Poli's Wonderland theater is Miss Lillian Burkhardt and Forrest Flood. who will present their dainty come dietta Dropping a Hint" very clev- CT and attractively refined comedy. Both artists are clever portrayers of comedy roles. Miss Burkhardt was for several seasons the star of "Incog," att taining a great success in that bright production She prefers vaudeville in recognition of the popular taste, which is inclining overwhelmingly in that di- rection And among those who follow ed the popular trend few have made a more pleasing impression that the gift ed Miss Burkhardt. Her associate in Dropping a Hint,' Forrest Flood, has been seen here with Olga Nethersole, and the most pleasant memories are re- tained of his capable acting. The two together make a pair of comedy pro- ducers that will stand comparison with most of those who have migrated into vaudeville. An efficient and well bal anced aggregation of vaudeville artists has been secured to supplement the star feature Among those to appear are the three Wright sisters, the Pant ger trio, the Brothers Deonzos, O'Brien and Wright, Tim Cronin, Welch and Gardner, and others Prices 10 and 20 cents: ladies in the afternoon, all parts of the house, ten cents.

 SOUSA'S BAND TONIGHT.
 Sousa, who will be at the Hyperion tonight, has the faculty of catering to all classes of ears. The Wagner enthu- siast, the lover of sentimental Italian music, and the every day American, who likes soul-stirring marches, will each find something to please and thrill The enthusiasm at his concerts would be a revelation to those who imagine that music Is merely something to analyze, dissect and study. John Philip Sousa's programs are composed of ex- tracts from the works of the best writ CTS of modern music and the old mas ters; SO arranged as to form pleasing and effective contrasts, and while the expression of military band Is more limited than that of a grand orchestra, owing to the absence of strings, but 1t Is far more virile and inspiring and Sousa does not fail to lend charm even to those excerpts from Wagner so frequently introduced in his programs Sousa has struck empha .ically the key note of popular concerts.

AN INTERESTING SOCIAL.
Dwight Place Carol Service Yesterday
 Morning.

Morning.
 As has been the custom for two or three years past, Dwight Place church enjoyed her early morning carol ser vice. Promptly at 6:30, the hour ap- pointed for the service from the tower of the church there pealed forth the clear notes, as two or three beautiful hymns were rendered, calling, as it were, the Sleeper, to the dawn of an other joyous Easter day Scarcely had the echo of these hymns spent them selves on the still morning air when the chorus from the Bible school gathered on the steps in front of the church, ren- dered several beautiful carols, which were much enjoyed by the two or three hundred gathered for this service.
 Beautiful was the group of these children, with a background of Easter lilies, but more beautiful still was the gladness of their hearts, as they offered up their carols of praise to a living and risen Saviour.
 After a short service within the church, in which Rev. P. A. Johnson. assistant pastor, gave brief practical Easter talk, the service closed, with further Easter music and a closing prayer by the pastor, Dr. J. E. Twitchell.
 These services seem to meet with a growing favor, as they are held year by year. WoRSHIPPER.
