WONDERFUL JAPS.

Remarkable Agility Displayed by
Troupe Appearing Daily With Corse
Payton's Company at The Grand
Opera House.
FOrty-nine different kinds of butter
flies find place in the beautiful en-
broidered garments worn by the Japs
in the kitamaurer troupe appearing
each afternoon and evening with COrse
Payton's Comedy company at the
Grand. These butterflies are the handi-
work of the Jap acrObats for in addition
to possessing ability to perform mid
air stunts they are handy with the
needle as we'll.
Toi is the eleven year old Jap that
brings out such sentiments as Isn't he
too cute for anything?" from audiences
On the top of a tall ladder balanced by
one of the older Japs Toi goes through
a remarkable series Of balancing eVOIu-
lions and the wonder if he is really
going to fall is great To is a rug
ged speciment of a Jap youth, healthy
and intelligent. He is absorbing many
American ideas and is speaking Eng
lish nearly as we'll as he does the tongue
of his fathers.
PERHAPS the most exciting feature of
their entertainment is where a huge
cable is suspended to the dome Of the
theater auditorium. One of the older
Japs of the troupe climbs this cable and
sitting on his angles the acrobat slides
down the steep ascent with the speed of
a comet He is directly over the heads
of the people seated in the orchestra and
the second trip stands up displaying an
umbrella in one hand and a fan in the
other.
About one hour day of public per-
Torrance and another hour of practice
is all that the members Of the troupe
put in to their work. The time between
they spend in sightseeing and in sew
ing. They are ambitious to return to
Japan with enough to retire on and
are now devoting surplus enerby to
making fine clothes. Black silk kimonas
Of the rarest materials the most eX-
quisitcly decorated in gold and silver
and red coIorings are claiming their
time at present.
The Kitamaurar troupe has appeared
in vaudeville in winter seasons and
with circuses in summer during the
three years that the troupe has been in
this country. In that time they have
travelled thousands of miles and met
with many experiences.

formers opens each performance of the
Corse Payton's comedy company daily
at p. m. at the matinee and in the
evening positively appearing at every
performance.

Ceremonies Held at } P. N. Yesterday
Interesting and Impressive Speech
eS.
The parish house Of Christ church
was dedicated yesterday afternoon
with impressive ceremonies.
Rev. B. s. Morgan delivered a short
address Of welcome.
DR.. Lines, rector of St, Paul's, spoke
entcrtainngly of the history of the
parish from the days of it's infancy to
the present. He enlarged upon the ne-
cessity of a parish house, its adVan-
tages and aims, and the great benefit
to be derived from it,
Bishop Brewster spoke Of the parish
house as the eptomc of the present
church movement. It stands for the
brotherhood of man, just as the church
stands for the fatherhood.
Social Christianity characterizes the
parish house. 1t is essentially an ad-
junct of the church. 1t must not be
forgotten that they are unseparably
connected; that the spirit Of the church
must provide the parish house as we'll;
the parish house stands for brother
hood and fellowship in the Holy
Spirit.
Let it not stand as the means of ca
tering to catch penny cOntriNances for
the melting out Of surplus parochial eX-
penSeS.
Let this building stand for all that
is high, pure, good and true.
Let it stand always as witness OF,
and means of brotherhood eternal. DR..
Baker and Rev. Mr.. Gammack also
spoke.
Music was interspersed throughout
the ceremonies.
