AXLE CAR RIGHTS.
Some Changes Being Made in Switch
Boards on Santa Fe Cars.

For the past month the National Car
Lighting company has been busy in
their Topeka shops making changes in
the switch boards used in the cars to
regulate the electric lights. The
changes have been made to do away
with some of the intricate mechanism
and to lessen the number of wires in
the back of the board to obviate the
possibility of short circuits. The switch
boards have been rebuilt in the shops
and put on the cars in service without
taking the cars into the shops and out
the cars made stop of 10 or 20 min
utes. All but about II cars have been
furnished with the new boards and all
will be fitted within the next ten days.

SUCCEEDS JAPAN.
Great Britain Will Occupy Wei-Hai-
Wei Immediately on Its Evacuation.

London, April st is announced that
Great Britain has made arrangements
with China to take over the port of
-Hai-Wei on the Shang Tung pen
insula, when the Chinese government
has paid the war indemnity due to
Japan and the Japanese troops have
evacuated the place. The arrangement,
it is added was made with the knowI-
edge and approval of Japan with which
country an understanding had been
previously arrived at. The latter fact
was kept secret until China had ac-
tually agreed to the lease and the
British fleet had assembled in the vi
entity.
1t is said on good authority that
neither Russia nor Germany is pleased
that the island of Leu Kung Tau at
the entrance of Wei-Hai-Wei, will be
strongly fortified, while the land bat
teries destroyed by the Japanese can
speedily be reconstructed.

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Oklahoma Division of the
Santa Fe Company
Is Being Given Particular At
tentiOn at Present.
OLD WOODEN BRIDGES
Being Replaced by Iron Struc-
tures-Curves Knocked Out.
Perry Gave the Road $176,GOO
Worth of Business in '97.

The Oklahoma division of the Santa
Fe is being materially improved.
Division Superintendent L. F. Dolan
is fast making his division one of the
best on the road. Last year 1900 feet
of new iron bridges were put in to re-
place old wooden ones, and the work of
improving the track and roadbed is go
ing steadily on. The track is receiving
special attention, and Road Master j.
F. McNally is kept constantly on the
line between Wichita and Purcell.
More new bridges are being put in and
new ballast. The ballast used is a
limestone which after it becomes
soaked by few rains is nearly a solid
cemented mass. The curves are being
Strengthened and everything being
brought up to the Santa Fe standards.
The Oklahoma division is one that is
worthy of special attention by the Off
Gals of the road, and money expended
there is a good investment Last year
the town of Perry alone netted the
Santa Fe $1760 worth of business.
When the work is completed the line
will be equal to the best tracks on the
main line.

CHARMION.

Charmion, whose sensational disrob-
ing act upon the trapeze has been the
talk of continental Europe, comes to
the Hyperion on Friday night at the
head of Roster & Biars congress of
Foreign Stars, which is without excep-
ton the strongest lot of people ever
before seen here under one bill, and
everyone comes direct from Roster &
Balls. Charmion recently appeared at
the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York
at an entertainment given there. Usu-
ally she seats herself on the trapeze in
full street costume and commences her
undressing in public. She will shortly
return to Europe, being under engage
ment to appear for summer season at
the Winter Garden. The Picchiani sis
ters, who accompany her, are clever
family of acrobats, nine in number,
who appear in evening dress, and ac-
complish some marvellous feats in
tumbling. Other performers in the
company are the wonderful aerial art
lists, Delmore and Lee; Herbert's dogs,
introducing the clown canine Dink,
who plunges headlong from ladder
forty feet high into net below; Clar-
isse Agnew, a dainty soubrette, in

appears here as Lord Chumley at the
Hyperion on Saturday night. This
talented young actor has secured a
most enviable position of regard in the

branch of acting in which he excels
more than in any other, it is in light
comedy, and his performance of the
leading role in Lord Chumley which
was written expressly for him. places
Mr. Sothern among the greatest COM

About three hundred of the city's
ening weather yesterday afternoon and
attended the lecture by z. B. Worrell
on 'Dietetrics," (the science of food,
at the Hyperion. In his hours talk
the lecturer gave in most interesting
manner much information in regard to
the properties of foods, their relative
nutritive values, adulteration of foods
and it's effects.
The talk was illustrated with many
specimens of food arranged in large
pyramids on the platform beside the
speaker. He concentrated his advice
to the housekeepers into the following
four terse rules for preserving health:
l. We ought to be careful to have a
right assortment of food or we ought
to assert our food more carefully.
2. Become familiar with a good work
on dietetrics.
8. Have home perfectly ventilated.
4. Danish all alcohol.
5. Take cold sponge bath every
morning.
Most of the materials used in adulter-
alton, he said, are harmless. At the
close each lady was given valuable
book written by the lecturer himself
entitled 1.-THE Housekeeper's Educator
and Guide"
The expenses of the lecture are met
from the revenue of a select number
of advertisements in the back of the
book given away.

CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL.
International Meeting to be Held il
Boston in September, 1899.

International Meeting to be Held in
Boston in September, 1899.
1t has been decided that the inter-
national Congregational council will be
held in Boston in September of next
year, probably beginning about the Goth
and continuing for eight days. The
executive committee has Just held it's
first meeting to start the machinery of
the council. At the head of this COM
mittee is Samuel B. Capen, the presi-
dent of the Boston Municipal league,
and prominently identified with politi-
cal reforms wholly aside from his re-
lgious affiliations, and there are seven
subcommittee to consider the various
details of the management, such as the
transportation of delegates and to ar
range the side excursions which will
be planned, the committee on entertain
ment, on places of meeting, on printing,
on programme, and the like. 1t is pro-
posed that during some of the time at
least three simultaneous meetings will
be in progress, and the committee will
secure for them Park street church,
fremont Temple and Faneuil Hall.
Delegates are expected from all over
the world, but there will be compare
lively few from other than English
speaking countries. There will be
about 600 delegates in all, of whom
about 400 will come from this country.
and most of the remainder from Eng
land, Australia and Canada. 1t is ex-
pected that the expenses, which will
include the entertainment of the WISH
tors from abroad, will De from $4,000 to
$500. AS a guarantee it is proposed
that one hundred men shall become re-
sponsible for $50 apiece, which would
cover so much of the amount as to
make 1t easy to raise the remainder.
Visitors will be entertained at the Bos-
ton hotels, if any prefer to be quarter
ed there rather than to go to private
families in the city or suburbs.
The main subjects Of the convention
will be such as relate to the closer re-
Iations of the members of the denomi-
nation in all parts of the world. 1t
will be the effort to promote a closer
building up a UNCONVENTIONAL ma
chine to trench upon the denomination
al traditions of absolute local indepen-
dence and freedom from any govern
ing body. By agreement regarding
methods of work to be pursued, and by
dividing the fields between them, by es-
tablishing closer communication be-
tween the different branches of the de-
nomination, it's fraternal feeling and its
efficiency will be promoted, while it
will be free from any central body with
authority. 1t is not the purpose to de-
vote any material part of the council
to discussions of theological questions,
nor to make the doctrine of the church.

Grand Opera House.

When Manager Breed of the Grand
Opera house said he had a strong bill
for the first three days of this week, he
made no mistake, as is shown by the
increasing size of the audience on each
succeeding day. This afternoon and
evening will be the last opportunities
to see the presentation, which is a COM
bination of drama and vaudeville. One
of the smallest of the vaudeville stars
and also one of the best is the child
actress, La Petite Lille, who sings with
an expression which might well be
emulated by many older persons on the
stage. Another taking speciality is that
presented by Ascot and Eddie, which

is an acrobatic sketch requiring great
ability. The war drama, "Rally Round
the Flag" is full of interest and is well
put on by the company. The rest of
the bill is equally good. In spite of the
double bill, prices are the same: Eve
nings, 10. 20 and 30 cents matinees. la
dies 10 cents to every part of the house.
AT the Grand Opera house tomorrow
night the American Stock company
