Black PATHS Troubadours, one of the
Parks sterling attractions. will begin a
three days engagement next Monday aft
ernoon. The programme presented con-
tains a little of everything in the amuse-
ment ine-buc and wing dancing, cake
walking, "coon songs, burlesque and OPP
cratic selections. The company is a large
one.
"a Man OF Mystery the exciting melo-
drama coming to the Park Theater next
Thursday afternoon for the balance of the
week, has a burglary scene which is
claimed to be the acme of stage realism.
Hypnotism and detectives figure in the
play. which is believed to contain as many
thrills as the average theatergoer is able
to Withstand.
"Quo vadis" is proving a strong attrac-
ton at the Park Theater this week. There
are many variations in the Benedict pro-
duction from that shown at the Grand
Opera House, with the result that many
people are witnessing both plays for the
purpose OF comparison. There will be two
performances at the Park to-day, which
viii bring the engagement to a close.
XXX
The week OF -"Quo Vadis' at the Grand
has surpassed all expectations of the man
agement. 1t is a rare occurrence for a re-
viyal following so closely on the heels Of
the original production to meet with such
extraordinary success. The house Is al
most sold out for this afternoons per-
formance, and there Is a lively demand for
seats at the closing engagement tonight.

in the, Christian Recorder he frankly
admitted that DR.. Smith had but few
equals in the ministry as writer. The
Zion people were delighted with Dr.
Smiths ringing defense and as they
believe his complete victory that many
Of them decided if any more bishops
were to be made at their General Con.
ference this month that their Editor
should be one.
Another thing that has added to DR..
Smiths popularity in his unexeelled
record Church as an editor. Under
his standardization the Star of Zion has
enlarged from four to an eight page
paper, and its newsy and spicy columns
are eagerly read by people of all denom-
nations. 1t is generally conceded by
the newspaper fraternity and all who
have watched the progress of that pa
per that he is the 6blest editer that
Zion has produced, and that the Star
of Zion is one of the best edited religious
papers in the land.
AS preacher, he is able, evangelical,
spiritual, practical, pathetic and flow
cry. When striking thought or an
illustration seizes him in preaching, he
flames up and excels in word, painting
and rhetorical effects. As pastor,
fnancier and church worker, the church
es which he pastored IN Baltimore
Washington, New Haven, Conn.,, Har.
risburg and Carlisle, Pa, and now at
Grace church, Charlotte, N. T., will
testify that he is a grand success. We
haven't the space TO give details of his
noble v ork at these points. DR.. Smiths
health and talents give promise of ex
tended years OF great usefulness to bis
progressive denomination, and if JUS
tice and fair play can overthrow the
schemes and wire-pulllng Of his op-
ponents, the bishopric crown will be
placed upon his brow On the day OF
election which will occasion great joy
throughout his denomination and the
race generally. He Will make as great
a bishop as he has an editor. Mark the
prediction.
