PADEREWsKTs RECITAL.

PADEREWSkI RECTAL.
On Monday. April i, at tbs Toler Au-
ditoriun. the people Of Wichita viii
have their first opportunity Of hearing
this great man.
There are so many interesting aspects
in the career OF this extraordinary man
that II IS hard 70 single out any one Of
them to the exclusion Of the others.
But perhaps few words as to his
helpfulness and generosity VIII give some
idea OF what he has done in this re-
spect.
IN 1888, Just before he came 70 the
United Staes. a concert had been an
nounced in London. and the house was
sold out. This was one OF the darkest
periods in the history Of Great Britain
and her war against the South African
republics and great efforts were being
made 70 give some aid to the widows
and orphans of the British army. TO sup
plement the meagre pittanoe doled out
TO them By the British government.
Paderewsh heard Of this and he tele-
graphed from Paris that the entire pro-
Ceeds OF the concert were TO be given 10
the Lord Mayors Mansion House fund
for the widows and orphans OF soldiers
who had fallen in the South African
republic
Within an hour after the concert in
London the lord mayor had received a
check for e11oo or over $500. being
Paderewski's contribution 10 the fund.
This is but one Of the almost countless
instances in which ne has given a prince
Is sum 70 some charity CT some noble
work. and in every case II should be re-
membered that this means with him
not merely the simple act Of signing the
check. but tremendous giving OF SELF,
an outpouring of energy and nervous VIZ
tai.ty that demands g-eat ana Unseldsh
sacrifice.
