List Raphsodie was one of the features
Of the concert. his arrepeggiO work being
especially fine, and his execution Of diff-
cult treble passages, splendid. Mrs
Sheffield, the soprano. pleased the audi
tors. especially with the selection from
The Queen of Sheba.' and with q little
lullaby by Speaks. Miss Florence Cham
berlin. violinist. was well received. Col.
ToIer deserves support for the excellence
OF the attraction and the hearty applause
of the Thanksgiving audience attested to
the appreciation given the company.
The next attraction in the Lyceum
course Will be Arthur Hochmann, the
young pianist. who has created such
furore by his remarkable playing. About

THEY WANT HIM HERE
wichita People DO Not Want Bishop
Hennessy Promoted.

When the announcement was made
mat here was probability that Bishop
Tennessy of this city would be appointed
coadjutor to Archbishop Kain of St.
Louis there was general expression OF
satisfaction over the advancement Of
y ichitas bishop.
Since. however. the people have had
little time to think over the matter
the people and particularly the members
OF the Catholic church, are not delighted
with the idea. Upon second thought it
t. pretty generally believed that Bishop
Eennossy ought to remain in this city
10 carry out the great work he has
Planned and partly eonsummated. Bishop
Ilennessy was priest in st. Louis be-
fore he was made bishop Of Wichita and
many people here fear that St Louis
influences viii he brought to bear TO get
m 70 return there
Bishop I4ennessy is loved and admired
here for his piety and goodness Of heart
and he is regarded as a business man
among business men. The institutions OF
the church nave grown under his admin
istration and the idea prevails here that
Wichita will shortly become one of the
great Catholic centers of the west. and
the Catholic people do not like the idea
Of chaneg Of bishops They fear that
the next bishop might not be able TO ac-
complish as much as Bishop Hennessy-
lie is one Of the most energetic bishops
81 this country and about the only rest
n has ever taken since coming here has
been when he was worn out with work
