For the past six months our audi

a whole has been almost alarming. and

shut eyes contemplating the general as

OF the minister who unfiinchingly faces
such an aggressive people.
Only two things have been lacking:
the women should have taken time 70
arrange their feathers straight up, as all
well-bred Commanches do. and the men
should have comoed their hair after

LITTLE TYCOON ar THE CRowFoRu
Comic Opera Presented sby Home Talent
Last Night.

Comic opera is very popular in Wich-
TIA, and especially so when it is pro-
duced by home talent. For years back
every winter has witnessed one or more
amateur production either in the oper-
attic line or otherwise, and the coming Of
the Little Tycoon" has consequently
been topic Of conversation for some
time.
A fair-sized audience witnessed the
performance at the Crawford Grand
last night. The show went off smoothly
enough and those who were present saw
a very pretty opera we'll staged. While
il is true that the Tycoon is not the
roaring effort that the Coronado min
strels was, still Mr.. Haskell has done
praiseworthy work with the material
Wichita afforded. and deserves credit.
The chorus work was mostly very good
and in some instances excellent. The
young ladies' chorus is especially strong
and musical. The costuming is all very
pretty and attractive. and the many
pretty faces and forms. tasteful toilets
and gallant youths together presented a
very pretty effect.
The leading role OF the Little Ty-
NtOI Was Wei uNQeTldhen DN MISS
Frances Aldendeifer. Miss Aldendiefer
possesses a beautiful voice that distinct
ly showS culture. and the rendition of
her solo and duett parts was excellent
and pleased everybody.
Miss Genevra Jocelyn, IN the part OF
Miss Hurricane, looked exceedingly
sweet and sang sweetly Miss Jocelyr
IS graceful and her work pleased and de-
served praise.
Mrs. Mabel Boyd Howe was more
clever than ever in the character OF
Dolly Dimple. Mrs. Howe has much
talent and by her very clever work has
become very popular With Wichita au-
diences. She sang several solos and
was accorded deserved encores.
Mr.. Haskell, as General Knickerbock
er, OF course. was good. as everybody
expected he would be. While the part
was not adopted 10 his voice. and he is
not much OF a singer any way. yet. the
effect of the play was materially height
