in more ways than one fitted for the
part. Goldsmith was small very ener-
gedc and had round face which 1t will
be seen are points of resemblance be-
/ tween the actor and the famous literary
character. Henry z. Dixey, who plays
the part Of David Garrick; is also SPLEEN
didly equipped both in the slight facial
resemblance and the carriage and under
the direction Of Mr.. Thomas he has stud
led the character of Garrick so as to be
able to give a splendid portrait of the
famous actor.
The BLACK Crook" with its wealth Of
scenic and mechanical novelties under
the direction of Frank Readick, opened a
a weeks engagement to two large audi
ences at the California yesterday. The
piece, like all others Of the same class,
depends to a great extent on its scenic
effects. This production Is mounted on
an elaborate scale and with every atten-
ton to detail, which makes it second to
none. The fairy dell, with its banks of
roses and Sylvan lake, is a beautiful
stage picture. The great incarnation
scene, with its imps, snakes, COLLINS.
dragons, etc, is strong, wierd and
gloomy. The transformation scene is one
Of grandeur. Over twenty beautiful
drops with rich and varied designs and
numerous set pieces, are used in it's pres
entation.-San Francisco Chronicle.

season, will again visit Wichita, appear

new romantic comedy, 1.-THE Dukes Jest
err" This play was recently brought out
at Seattle, Wash, and is said to be the
most successful production launched
forth this season. Mr.. Warde assumes
the role of Cecco, a court fool, a charac-
ter similar to that of Belpheor ing 1.-THE
Mountebank." Mrs. Bruno, that charm
ing actress who won so much favor dur
ing her recent appearance here, plays
Nina Di Borgie, a lady Of high rank,
with whom Cecco is in love. The play
was especially written for the organiza-
ton accompanying Mr.. Warde this sea-
son and consequently IS magnifcently
performed. The scenic effects are said to
eclipse the beauty of 1.-THE Lions

WICHITA is HONORED
President Names Jas. A. ALL
son Commissioner to Paris,
MRS. Nv. THOMPSON LOSES
Her Hard Fight for the Place
Appointment PIeaSeS.
MRS. JV. THOMPSON LOSES

A dispatch from Washington, dated
yesterday, says: 1.-THE president today
sent to the senate the name Of James
Allison Of Kansas, to be commissioner to
the international exposition at Paris
Mr.. Allison lives in this city. Although
he mas not as yet received any official
notice of his appointment, it is probable
that the senate will concur with the pres
ident in the appointment of Mr.. Allison.
There have been many candidates for
this place. The one who attracted the
most notice was Mrs. ]. V. Thompson
of Pratt She went to Washington and
had several conferences with the presi-
dent and other officials. She also re-
ceived considerable favorable mention
by the newspapers, and it was common
". supposed that she would get the place.
She is an educated and refined woman of
very attractive appearance and of pre-
possessing personality, and it is said that
she made very favorable impression at
Washington.
Mr.. James Allison, the gentleman hon
ored by this appointment, has been res
ident of Wichita for many years He
has been identified with many interests
here and was one of the chief promoters
of the Garfield University. He had charge
OF the buildings all the time it stood va
cant, and now that it is in the hands of
the Friends he still retains his interest in
the school and is one Of its principal
supporters.
Mr.. Allison is a well read and a finely
educated gentleman and possesses the
confidence of his fellow citizens. The
universal opinion of the business men of
the city is that the president could not
have found in Kansas man better fit
ted for the position than is Mr.. Allison.
Wichita will certainly have reason to be
proud of her representative in official cir
cles at the international exposition.

INSTITUTE NOTES.

Never before was there so good an attend
ance on Mond ay morning.
A certain man was heard to remark that
the teachers who do not attend the institut G
are often the ones who have to try three OF
four times for a certificate.
Some persons laughingly challenged Prof
Kings claim to be able to tell a teacher
whenever he saw one but he soon convinced
them that he knew good deal about it any
way. -
If he couldn't tell it by their walk and talk
he could by their hands.
There is more attraction toward memorial
hall for Logan Co. teachers than there is on
the street.
Mr.. Muir of New York and Miss Bellamy
of Independence, Kansas, are pupils OF Prof
King who are here for the purpose of con-
tfnoing their studies under Prof. King.
Prof King has certainly mastered the art
which he teaches.
Prof Winship proved himself genius In
the art OF surprises.
His claim to have been one OF twenty men
who had renamed consultations was received
with the most solemn credence until he .ex-
planned that the constellation John the Bap-
tist was the great Dipper.
The large bowl Of frappe in the corner prov
ed a very pleasant attraction at the reception
Presi dent Jones threatens to bring suit fol
damages on Mayor Cassidy for furnishing SC
many attractions down street that he could
not get to the meetings on time.

A joke or humorous story is depend
ent upon its freshness for appreciation
Some emotions will not bear warming
over"
1t is-no longer considered good for1r
to say word against any one. An Ill
natured criticism is a social blundel
Gossip, too, is really going out of fash
ion.
True wit is gift, not an attainment
Those who use it Alright never yield t.
the temptation Of saying anything tina
can wound another in order to exhibit
their own cleverness. 1t is natural ant
spontaneous. "He who runs after wi
Is apt to catch nonsense"
Talk that has heartiness in it and tn,
liveliness and sparkle that come of light
heartedness and innocent gayety is ,
fairly good substitute for wit.
Offer to each one WHO speaks, th'
homage Of your undivided attention
Look people in the face when you tall
to them.
Talk of things, not persons. Th,
best substitute for wisdom is silence
1t is provincialism to say ''yes, sir,
''no, ma'am" to ones equal.
Have convictions of your own. b
yourself and not mere echo.
Never ask leading questions. W.
should show curiosity about the con
Germs of others only so far as it ma.

Draw out your neighbor without cate
