BLACK CROCK WAS POOR
But the Scenery Was Admitted to b.
superb.

Hagens "Black Crook" at the opera
house last night resembled no previous
performance of the BLACK Crook ever
presented in Wichita. The scenery used
IN the production was gorgeous, but the
acting was very poor. It seems the man
agement of the company engaged some of
the homeliest girls in the theatrical pro-
fesion. Mr. P. Rand as Kari simply made
a farce comedy act Of every situation sup
posed to be contained in the show. The
specialties, with one Or two exceptions,
were performed by poor variety perform
ers, who were at times vulgar in their
turns. Vu,garity is not wit, as some Of
these comedians % imagine. If the peo-
pie in the company were as clever as the
scenery was fine the performance would
have been a good one.

pany viii play at the Crawford Grand.

with people who came to try their
strength against him. Lord D.. great
pugilistic amateur, went from London
on purpose to fight the athletic Scot.
The latter was working in an inclosure
at little distance from his house when
the noble lord arrived. His lordship tied
his horse to tree and addressed the
farmer. Friend, have heard marvel
Gus reports of your skill and have come
long way to see which of us two Is
the better wrestler.
The Scotchman, without answering,
seized the nobleman, pitched him over
the hedge and then set about working
again. When Lord D. got up, "Well, ;"
said the farmer, "have you anything
to say to me?"
"No. - replied his lordship, "but per

One Of her classes in certain mis-

to the number of 20 or more whose
ages range from 3 to g. Most Of the
scholars are boys, though now and then
one notices the pinched face Of a little
daughter of poverty in the ranks.
The other day the lesson was on the
peculiarities of English. Words that
are pronounced alike and spelled differ
emily and words that are pronounced
differently but spelled alike We're dis
cussed at length. She explained the diff
ference between lead the metal and
lead the verb, and the children grasped
the point instantly. Then she took the
two words "week" and "weak. She
explained the difference in the meaning
and use to the tots, and then called up
little fellow, aged 5, to use the word
weak in phrase. The little fellow
thought moment, then answered, "a
weak old woman. The teacher nodded
her approval, and smiled into the eyes
upturned to hers.

word week and use it in phrase.
Jerry thought a minute, and then,
