event promises to be one Of the most en-
joyable here in the amusement line, since
the opening OF the season.
Ainstrelsy, as a recreadee amusement,
is becoming more popular every season,
and as presented by this famous firm or
progressive managers attracts and thor
oughIy amuses in a brisk, clean way, all
ages and classes. A big street parade,
with two capital bands Of music, troupe
of Arabs, popular as the whirling derv-
ishes of the desert, and numerous other
features are used in the free street pa
rade, which is given daily.
The indoor program fairly bristles with
the brightest and biggest novelties in
vaudeville, brisk comedy sketches, bril-
liant ensembles, and darkey impersona-
tions, ranging from "Old Uncle Eph," Of
the plantation days 'foh de wah," to
the up-to-date dandified "wahm baby" of
today.
The whole performance is a riot Of
rollicking fun of the fast and furious
kind that is infectious, hilarious and
healthy. Everything done has the merit
of originality and is a continuous round
of inexhaustible fun. Eight end-men
furnish an endless variety of latest jokes,
brand-new songs and a fund of darkey
philosophy that keeps an audience in
roar of laughter from start TO finish.
The troupe of Arabs give their wonder
full exhibition of tumbling and acrobatic
work, pronounced marvellous for its skill
and precision that have won for them the
title Of Kings of the acrobatic world. :"

WILL REFUND BONDS
Issued Two Years Ago for
Park Purposes,
AT RATE OF 4 PER CENT
Lowest Municipal Interest
Ever Paid in Kansas.

Two years ago when Wichita voted S14,-
900 to purchase and improve, in fact to
create the greater Riverside park, there
was talk of enjoining Mayor Ross from
issuing bonds on the theory that the city
had no right TO issue bonds for park pur-
poses. 1t was simply case where the
knocker hobs up. The bond question car
ried by a good majority, even though
there was large NAement opposed TO
buying park or paying out money to I'M
prove it or TO having a park at al! Inc
bonds were not sold after the threat was
made to get out an injunction Mayor
Ross went to a Wichita banker and con-
tracted with him to advance $4,000, the
purchase price of Greifferstein, and hold
the bonds for two years. This was done
in order to hold the bonds together so
that after two years they could be found
and refunded. The law provides that
after two years the bonds cannot be mo-
Tested or their payment enjoined or tam
pered with The injunction was not
asked for The park was bought and i'm
proved and became at once very popu-
lar with everybody. 1t added to the
beauty of the city and the pleasure Of the
people.
The two years are up. Mayor Ross has
already contracted with an eastern firm to
refund the entire $4,000 at the exceedingly
low rate of per cent and no commits
sion. This is the lowest commission at
which legitimate bonds were ever issued
and sold by any city in Kansas and no
place is excepted. They are what is
known as installment bonds, too. They
are payable. one thousand dollars each
year until the coupons are all cancelled
This sort Of paper is always harder to
dispose of and requires a higher rate than
straight bonds for given time The fact
that eastern capitalists are willing to

CABLE TO The PHILIPPINES
By Way of Hawaii. Wake Island and
the Island OF ssuam.

washington. Oct 26.-In official and
Diplomatic quarters attention is being d.
rected to the question OF a Pacific cattle
linking this country with the Philippines
and points beyond. and II is understood
this government and the foreign govern
ments which would be effected by the
cable are now actively considering the
subject The officials here are assembling
data and preparing cable maps with the
expectation that the matter Will be
brought to the early attention OF conEsess.
IN a general way the project Is for a
cable OF four links. viz: From San Fran
cisco TO Hawaii. 2l6o miles; from Hawaii
to Wake Island. 2,o44 miles: from Wake
Island TO Guam. 1888 miles; from Guam
to Manila, 1850 miles. These landing
points are all within the control OF the
United States our hags having been raised
on Wake Island not long ago. This would
connect all the American possessions IN
the Pacific by a line crossing no foreign
territory Besides this. the plan permits
of an expansion so as TO secure I've OUT
lets to Asia and the far east. The first
Of these would be from Manila TO the
Japanese island of Formosa. from which
Japan has built a line to the Japanese
coast and the mainland of Asia. The sec
ond outlet would be from Hawaii south
to Fannings Island, at which point the
newly projected British cable from Van
couyer 70 New Zealand crosses. The fore
going projects would not - private enter
prises, but a government undertaking
The government, 1t is urged In support
of the projects would be not only free
from the present high charges and from
the supervision of foreign companies now
handling the business, but the line. being
open TO public and commercial uses at a
reasonable rate. would afford facilities for
the expanding trade Of the Pacific and
thereby yield a considerable return TO the
government Foreign governments which
would be affected by this project-notably
Russia. Japan and Great Britain-are be-
ginning to show some concern over ii. and
It is understood that the government has
been sounded of late from several foreign
quarters to learn what its plans are.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A DISTINGUISHES.

Miles Mccarthy and his company play
ed to a small house last night at the
Crawford theatre, and the entire perform
ance was not at all what the friends of
Irish comedy like. In the first place the
music and singing in a play of this kind
is what pleases, and this was an entire
disappointment. The company does not
even carry = musical director and the
singing was all without orchestral accom-
paniment. The acting was bad and the
play was worse. Myles Mccarthy was a
disappointment, and his company was
very inferior. With the exception of a
very few clever turns, the entire perform
ance was what can be safely termed
bum"
Next attraction, Chattanooga" tonight
Chattanooga" the war play, will have
its first presentation in this city at the
Crawford theatre tonight, and promises
to be one of the events of the season. In
the first place, Lincoln J. Carter, its au-
thor and producer, is departing from a
field in which he has acquired his fortune
Chattanooga" is in every sense a
drama Of the war with only a brief pre-
face, sufficiently long, however, for a
drunken man to be saddled with the crime
Of murder. which has been committed by
his cousin. and who. with this as start
er. blossoms out as a full-fedged villain
before the curtain is rung on the last
act
Upon the breaking out Of the war both
cousins enlist in the Federal army, Leon
Cornell the innocent cousin, becoming
lieutenant and John a major. The latter
uses his rank 10 further his vilIainies,
both in intimidating the woman 10 whom
Leon is engaged and in prosecuting the
former. TO whom he has taken an in
stinctive dislike. although he is ignorant
OF his real identity.
The scene in the arbor in the early
morning as the fugitives rush in through
the tangle OF vines. and the soldiers clat-
ter by in wild pursuit. Is destined 10 be-
come very effective. The final scene is
exceedingly creditable to the ingenuity OF
Mr.. Carter-a smoking locomotive IS the
central feature OF the stage. while
motion picture fills the background and
gives the impression Of vivid action to the
flying landscape. 1t Is the best OF the
kind that has been presented in this city
and the effect Of the novelty is bound 10
be popular.
