wICHITA's PRIZE WINNER
How Talent Was Discovered and Developed
in Mr.. Walden.

Yesterday Mr.. Z. B. Walden, the pop
ular mail carrier, was receiving the con-
gratlations OF his friends all over town
for having walked off with the first
prize al the state musical jubilee. Mr.
Walden has developed into a very beau
tiful singer Ten years ago he couldn't
sing a note, or at least didn't have any
understanding Of music, but fortunately
his sister-in-laT, Mrs. Malvina Walden,
discovered that ne had voice and she
undertook the training Of il after she
had returned from Europe. The result
was phenomenal. She certainly ought
to be proud of training the prize winner
of the state in a contest that brought to-
getrer the finest singers Of Kansas. Mr.
Walden was not the only person to
bring back fame to Wichita. The Irving
school chorus caught big prize, while
the High school chorus made an admir-
able record Miss Jessie Clark is en-
titled to great praise for their training.

who refers to race prejudices, or
mentions the existence of the color

at Kawaiahao Church was very
anxious to assure the Hawaiians
that they will have the same rights
and privileges as the negroes of the
free State Of Alabama, if the islands
should be annexed.
