JUBILEE A SUCCESS.
a Fair Sized Audience Enjoys the
Entertainment.

A good sized audience saw the corona
ton of the Jubilee Queen which was
given at the Grand opera house last
night by the members of the St. John
African NJ. E. church for the purpose of
raising money enough to pay off a
church debt. Whether or not the debt
was decreased very much by last nights
performance has not yet been learned as
the different people to whom tickets
We're given to sell have not yet been
checked up. It is thought. however,
that more money was taken in than one
would have thought by looking at the
audience. A great many people who
bought tickets did not attend the enter
tainment on account of the rain
Nearly all of the prominent colored
people of Topeka were in tie opera
house however, although the majority
Of them were on the stage. In fact there
was so many people who took part in
the coronation that hardly any one was
left to make up an audience.
The amount of money that the mem
bers of St. John NJ z. church have
raised for the purpose of paying off the
$500 mortgage that has been hanging
over the church for the last 13 years.
is something remarkable. About four
months ago when the new pastor, Rev
DIR. T. q. SnelsOn, came here he found
the church in financial distress. He I'M

assistance of the members he has re-
duced the mortgage to $4,000. Nearly
$4 900 has been raised within the last
four months and the taxes. $66.5l, have
been fully paid.
AS to the entertainment which was
given last night it was similar to the
one given at the Auditorium a short
time ago It consisted of an imitation
Of a coronation and intermissions were
filed in with SONGS and addresses. The
song by the pupils of the Topeka In
dustrial institute who occupied box,
was especially pleasing. One of the main
features of the entertainment was the
many handsome gowns and other ap-
parel that was worn by those who par
The queen. Mrs James Page, was re-
splendent in her royal robes which were
set off well by the many handsome
dresses worn by those around her.
Another feature Of the performance
was the ambassadors from foreign
countries Every country, tribe and ma
tionalitv was represented among these
and MANY of the costumes worn were
very good limitations of the dress Of the
people in the country which the weaIer
was supposed to represent. Frank r.
Wilson and Miss Oieal Wilson, as an
Indian and sGuaW. made the hit OF the
evening Miss Wilson's costume was es-
pecialy good and with the assistance of
Frank Wilson, who is quite corpulent,
she managed to get good deal of ap-
plause from the audience.
Governor Bailey was scheduled to
make a short address but failed to APP
pear and the audience had to rest con-
tented with a short address by Rev Mr..

tet which was down on the programme
for a song also failed to appear.

THAT HAYES SIDEBOARD.
Investigation Shows It Was Not Sold
to Washington saloonkeeper.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 27.-Col. The
odore A Bingham, superintendent Of
public buildings and grounds, has inves
tigated the statement that a sideboard
presented to Mrs Lucy Webb Hayes
while she was mistress of the White
House by women of the W. G. T. U. has
passed into the hands O. washington
saIoonkeeper Colonel Bingham's inves-
tigation discloses that the statement has
no foundation in fact. So far as the rec
ords go no such sideboard ever was pre-
sented to Mrs. Hayes by members of the
W c. T. u, by any other body of wo-
men. or by any individuals
With respect to the criticism that the
portraits of former mistresses of the
White House We're hung IN the cellar"
of the mansion it is stated by the same
authority that the portraits are in the
corridor on which is the president S
Office, through which all guests of the
president have to pass. and that the
portrait OF Mrs. Roosevelt is hung di-
rectly opposite to that OF Mrs. Hayes.

FORBES IS THE FAyORITE.
Expected That He VIII Defeat Tokell
in Tonight's Battle.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 27.-Harry Forbes
Is the favorite over Andy Tokeu in to-
nights fight for the bantam weight
championship OF the world. at odds of
~ and 3 to 1. These figures are largely
the creation of Tokel1s followers who
have money to bet but Will not place it
at anything under 21s to 1. The Forbes
people, who have already in their minds,
counted, carried and spent the winners
part of the purse. will not give better
than even money. They claim that To-
kell IS largely an unknown quantity and
under the circumstances they should not
be called on to give odds. The betting
at the ringside will probably be about Z
to : on Forbes.
Forbes has had considera Bile difficulty
in making the stipulated weight, lis at
o'clock, but this morning he expressed
himself as being within the limit and
declared that he would not weigh an
ounce over. Tokell will be inside the
weight without question.
The fight viii be called tonight about
1920 o'clock. There are two ten round
preliminaries and 1890 for the main
fight, is based on the probability that
both fights will go the limit.

Toner, DR.. Kelley Says.

Wheeling, w Va, Feb. 27-Rev. New
ton B. Kelley, principal of the Elder
idge academy and minister of the Elder
churches, has resigned his charges to
accept the presidency of Franklin col
Iege and the pastorate of the Presby-
terrain church in New Athens, O., where
the college is located. The action was
taken after some interesting difficulties
between DR.. Kelley and his flock
The church trouble started in a horse
deal, when one of his members is al
legged to have got the better of DR.. KEEL
ley and when the pastor at length init
mated that some tricks akin to those
employed by David Harum had been
perpetrated on him the opposition broke
out. The Kittanning presbytery took up
the case on petition from the opposition,
and unanimously indicated Dr. Kelley.
DR.. Kelley was much annoyed by
anonymous letters received from all
parts of the country.
