WHY THE WHITE SLAVE DOES
NOT WITHER.

The return of such a prime favorite as
BARLEY Campbells The White Slave
will be interesting to playgoers for the
reason that it will bring back recollec-
tions of counting days to many who are
now surrounded by n grown up family.
The unusual popularity of The White
Slave" can best be accounted for when it
is recalled that never has a second or in
ferior company presented this play. Since
the author organized the original cast
there has been but one White Slave.
Throughout these many years the excel
lence of the first company has been main
tanned and there has been no letting down
to the general performance, on the con-
trary every season the scenic outfit is
made new and elaborated by the addition
of something novel in the way of me-
chanical or electrical device, then there
are new musical features, and rear
rangoment of the stage business The

license than ever before. with the result
that The White Slave is made new and

The change of taste in theatrical amuse-
ments and the opportunity for wide-awake
and up-to-date management to force re-
fined minstrelsy to the front inspired the
Richards & Pringle firm of managers
to organize the biggest minstrel combi-
nation in America. and embody in il the
best forms of vaudeville and fragmentary
acts that would find ready favor with all
classes of theater gocrs that they have
succeeded in doing this is evidenced by
the success of their big minstrel enter
prise.
The venture has met with phenomenal
success and from q modest beginning some
few years ago. the company now ranks
foremost and is the largest and best
minstrel organization In America. Fifty
performers furnish an evenings entertain

The date of the Richards & Pringle's
minstrel aggregation performance here is
Monday March 9th. AT the rawford. The
hour of the big street parade is 2:30 p. m.
on the day of their arrival in this city.
This magnificent street spectacle is worth

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
At the Crawford.

A new tramp struck town last night
when "A Millionaire Tramp" was played
at the Crawford. This play is radically
different from any tramp show that has
struck Wichita in a long time Some
tramp shows are bad. some are fair, and
some are good; and the millionaire
Tramp is one of the latter class.
The plot is different from any tramp
show that has ever been played here, and
il is q good deal more entertaining than
any tramp that ever found his way into
this burg The millionaire tramp is a
very interesting character. He is nice
young man, going to drinking and going
10 the dogs. OF course before he gets
bad he falls in love with a beautiful
young woman.
He doesn't do any life saving in the last
act or give robbers away, or anything
like that. A fellow tries to force him 10
take revenge on the fellow who marries
ms sweetheart but that does not go. The
villain goes mad. The millionaire tramp
knows he amounts TO very little and
would not take his sweetheart away from
her husband. The sweetheart gets mar
ried under the apprehension that the
tramp is dead. The husband does the
manly thing by leaving the country when
he finds that his wife loves ANOTHER and
announces that he will do anything TO
what happens in the last act.
The tramp part was taken by Gus
Mortimer. who played the part very ac-
ceptably except that ne did not talk loud
enough TO be heard in the rear Of the
house. He is 1T ease on the stage and
has a good conception of the part.

who goes mad and kills himself. is nam

part. was another good one. He is young
but has the proper feeling for an actor
and knows how TO use his talents
Chas harrington, the coon. is not so
bad. He is a little jerky in his talk. but
rolls his eyes around proper and talks
coon nicely.
Miss JEFF Davis, who played the part
of the tramp's sweetheart. is well known
in Wichita. She has been seen here many
times and has many acquaintances. She
is good looking. uses her emotional pow
ers right and is perfectly at ease she
has developed a whole lot in her acting
since last season, and her work last
night was a great improvement over that

Personal Magnetism.

There is a supposition in the minds of
some who have not given the subject
much consideration that personal mag
netism is none other than hypnotism-
There is, of course. close affinity. but
one is entirely distinct from the other.
and those who look interestedly into the
subject easily enough discover the differ
ence and at the same time discover the
beneficial uses TO which both contribute.
Personal magnetism is that peculiar sense
sixth sense OF sympathy, that soul in
fuence, which, cultivated properly, one
can call into action and exert to benefit to
self or another. The cultivation of per-
sonal magnetism gives one such power
over the nervous system as 10 preclude
serious trouble in that most sensitive or
ganizaton. Personal magnetism. under
proper cultivation. enables one under de-
pressing circumstances to so control the
will power as to turn defeat into victory.
| may be consulted by either sex upon
this delicate subject. and they may rest
assured that their confidence will not be
trifed with nor their secrets divulged.
All will be treated with that courtesy
and consideration that begets confidence
and inspires respect.

importance.

The Bigger Boys of Today.

An interesting line on what modern sanitation and athletics are doing for the people of the present day is fur nished by some statistics which have been gathered at the famous English schools. Marlborough and Rugby. Measurements of school boys were made at Marlborough from 1874 to 1901, and at Rugby from 1879 to 1901.
 The figures show that at Marlbor- ough the boy of thirteen today is two inches taller and weighs on an average 51k pounds more than the boy of thir teen in 1874. while an eishteen-year-old boy is Az pounds heavier and nine tenths of an inch taller than the boy of the same age in 1874. Tie results of the Rugby measurements are practi- calIy the same as at Marlborough. The Rugby boy of thirteen today is 21a inches taller and pounds heavier than the boy of thirteen in 1879. but the weight of the Rugby boy of l. is about the same as in 1872.

of Another Land Boom.

In nearly all the western states as well as in the territories, there are ir- dications of another land boom, such as that which culminated in 1887. The great crops O; the past few years, and the tremendous wheat crop promised for this year are largely responsible for turning the attention of investors and spectators once more to land values. The announcement by the bureau of Q agriculture Of conditions for winter wheat. which indicate the record breaking crop of nearly G00 G00,O0O greatest importance. Should these crop expectations be realized the yield for the two seasons would be more than l, 100, 0C0,0GO bushels. Presumably not more than 75 per cent of last years crop of wheat has been marketed; in deed the latest published statistics show that on March 1st, out oi yield of 670,000,0 GOO bushels of winter and spring wheat, 164,0O0,000 remained un- consumed or undistributed. If to this surplus there shall be added 600 000,0O0 bushels this season, there will be more than 75O,O0O,OOO bushels of wheat awaiting movement from the farm at least by the middle of the season or by midsummer.
 And there is no doubt that the enoT- nous yield of wheat this year may have a similar effect upon western land speculation as did the large crops of wheat and corn last year. Then, it will be remembered, an active inquiry for money for the purchase Of lands in the grain growing states of the west served not only to arrest the return movement of funds to the east, after the crop moving season, but to draw hence considerable amounts. Inlmi- grants who have been attracted to this country, literally in swarms, by the prosperous conditions prevailing. will be likely, whenever they are able to do so. to select already developed fields in the agricultural regions and to bor- row thereupon such sums as they may require, thus augmenting the demand for money. Last year land speculation in the west was a nav and entirely un- expected factor, somewhat deranging the calcula tions of bankers who had not considered such q movement prob- able or even possible.

Democratic Harmony.

Just as another proof that cur es tcsmed friends, the democrats. are get ting together, we subjoin some of the corciliatory language used by Colonel William Jennings Bryan at Kansas City, Tuesday night. in his address to the Missouri editors of democratic faith. The slight signs of temper manifested by Mir. Bryan may be charged to the fact that the peerless leader had to wait until after mid night before his turn came to speak, T am glad that you have harmony in this state,'' said the colonel. T be lieve the democrats of Missouri give the best idea of how to secure harmony among the democrats of the nation. I believe in harmony. The democratic bed is wide enough for all who want to come in, but we do not want to have to sit up nights to keep certain pretenders from picking our pockets. We invite all who have strayed from the fold to come back, if they so desire, but we want them to stay iu after the come.
 We have had enough ot Cleveland ism in the democratic party. We had fcur years of Cleveland. and after his administration was over We found our selves weaker than We had ever been before, because We had been betrayed. These so-called harmonizers, Cleveland and his followers. showed thelr near ness to republicanism by deserting us in our hour of greatest need, and sup porting the republican party. The democratic party won Q great victory in 1892. which gave our party a great opportunity, but Grover Cleveland be- trayed the democratic party, and I car Tied the burden of his administration through two national campaigns. and there Was not q plank in either plat form that was such q detriment to me in those campaigns as that burden vas.

Commercial Progress in the
 Philippines.

A summary of the commerce of the Philippine islands for three years, the period of American occupation, has just been published by the Manila Re view of Trade. Although the resources of the islands are handicapped by the lack Of labor saving machinery, trans portation facilities and skilled labor, the report shows a commercial in crease to which the Philippine parti- sans may point with pride The inn ports in 1900 amounted to $29. .601 .426, and in 1902 they were valued at $S2- 141,S42. Of these imports Sl,e57,701 came from the United States in 1909. while in 1902 the United States sent $4.OS5 ,243, exclusive of the goods sent to the vari- ous military departments.
 The exports from the Philippines in 1900 amounted to $19, 9,751. .O6S, and this amount was increased in 1902 to s23,~ 921,6I9. The shipments to the United States showed the greatest increase In 1900 they were valued at $3,522. .16O. and in 1902 at s7,631. 743. The latter figure represents more than 8 per cent of the total exports of the islands. Musa textilis-Mapila hemp-figures as the chief article of export, and the in crease in product from s11 ,943 in 19e0 to $14,45S.11O in 1901 and $15,S41, 316 in 1902 shows that the American occu- patton has lad a stimulating effect on the hemp growing industry.

Peace and War.

Last week was noticeable for the launching of two ships very striking as to both size and character.
 The great merchant ship, Minnesota, child of Mr. James J. Hills energy and confidence in the future of Ameri- can business, was the first to kLow the water, built at New London in q yard specially created for the rurpose, the largest American ship ever built, and oi carriers of freight She greatest the world over. Her sister, Dakota, is vet to appear.
 The ether craft, which may be called q Caret2keT of th2 first, was the ar mored cruiser West Virginia. She is the first of six and is of something under 1i,000 tons displacement. twenty two knots speed, arnor running ill a belt around her entire waterline ard rising to the top of her central citadel, and two revolving t@"rets. Four S-inCh guns. fourteen 6-inch, eighteen 3-inCh. twelve 3-pounders, eight 1-pOunders. and the usual frills of field guns, ma chinery guns, automatic guns and tor pedo tubes, constitute her battery.

An Extraordinary April Storm.

The rainy season in the southern part of the state has proved an extraordi- nary one this year. On Wednesday Los Angeles county experienced an unusl:- ally heavy April storm. Over two inches of rain fell at Los Angeles dur ing the day, and the tops of the neigh boring ranges were covered with snow. which made an unusual April scene in that quarter. The total rainfall of the season there at , o'clock that evening reached 1881 inches. This is 53 of n inch in excess of the rainfall record of San Francisco up to the same hour. The situation thus created is an eXcep- tional one. The rule favors q mucn larger rainfall in the northern and cciI- tral counties than in the valley dis tricts of the southern section CG the state. This year the order has been reversed
 It is. perhaps, too soon to determine the true effect of the storm on the southern crops. Some damage may be done to fruit trees and growing grain. but there will doubtless be compensat- ing benefits which will overshadow the losses, and that section of the state is safe against anything like drought fer the rest of the year
 During recent years. when light rair- falls marked the wet seasons in the southern counties, there was consider able speculation indulgcd in regarding inc Japan warm stream.
