A deeply interested audience. largely
composed Of old soldiers, listened to Rev.
DR.. W. A. Spencer's lecture at the First
NJ. Z. church last evening. DR.. Spencer
is a veteran of the late war and has
spoken between 900 and ZOO times TO old
soldiers. The members of the C. A. R.
and other old soldiers were present last
evening as invited guests. and they lis
tened attentively for nearly two hours
to what the speaker had to say about
"The Great Battle-Fields Of the World"
and at the close remained to thank him
for his inspiring and patriotic utterances.
DR.. Spencer is a good singer and musician
and he sang several songs. both at the
opening and close of his lecture. which
added greatly to the effect Of his admiral
bic effort.-Elmira Daily Advertiser, FL

BALL THAT IS BALL
Printers Will Cross Bats To-
morrow.
ED VAIL WILL UMPIRE
Everybody Should Go to Help
the Hospital.
UMPIRE

Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock sharp
the big ball game between the Eagle
Nighthawks and the Beacon Beamers
will be called at Athletic park on South
Main street. AS stated many times De-
fore, this game is for the benefit Of the
Wichita Hospital, and the ladies Of the
board are now selling tickets. That is.
they are selling tickets to the gentlemen
men OF the town, and to them only, as
the ladies will be admitted free. There
will be a number OF novel features in this
game not before seen in the city. Among
them will be the professional unpiring
by Ed Vail. The grand stand will be free
and all the refresh7nent booths will be in
charge of the hospital ladies.
The teams will line up as published in
yesterday mornings paper and the game
will be very hot, for both sides have been
spending all their spare time practising,
with startling results The pitchers can
toss an out-curve with the ease of a ma
tional league player, while down shoots.
twisters and grape-vines are mere play
things to the twirlers. The infelders are
not so slow either, for they can stop all
sorts of bee-liners, assisted with their
mits. All the fast runners are placed in
the outfield, so that they can get in to
the home plate when a side is out This
will avoid all dragging of the game.
All society will attend, and the people
who have sympathies for either side are
requested to wear their favorite colors.
The Beamers have chosen red and white,
while the Nlghthawks will battle under
the blue and white. Those who do not
come with colors can be supplied on the
grounds by the ladies, who will be pre-
pared to fill all wants. Many people have
never seen a printers devil, and this will
furnish an opportunity to observe them
gambol over the green in all their fend-
ishness. There will be one in each team,
labelled, and the general public will have
no trouble to distinguish them from or
binary mortals. Don't stay away from
the game for fear that the printers will
not be able to get out a paper for the next
week, as they have all arranged to have
substitutes in case of accidents. Besides,
it is a worthy cause and they will only
become subjects of the institution of
which they will be benefactors. Remem-
Der the time and place. You will be miss
ed if you are not there, and your alb
sence will be remarked by your friends.
Just one price of admission-to men only
and that price will obtain all the privi-
leges of the grounds.

MUSIC AND DRAMA

The Madison Square Theatre company
has been playing this week at the Cooper
opera house in this city. This is by far
the best company that has been here for
many years. Each player is an artist in
his particular line, and they certainly de-
serve the support of the theatre-going
people. We might go into detail and say
a whole lot of pretty things about each
one in particular, but suffice it to say
that they are all good-eXceptionally
good-and this is one of the very few
companies now playing in the west that
it is not a waste of time to go and see.
Mr.. Lowe, the manager, is to be con-
graduated on carrying with him a very
select company of ladies and gentlemen
incidentally, fine looking men and the
cutest little ladies that have appeared
with any company in this city.-Beloit,
Kan, Call.
