A press dispatch says sixteen Negroes
were baptized in John d. Rockefeller's
church in Cleveland amid the jeers of
white people in the galleries.
Here is a chance for some missionary
work Mr. Rockefeller ought TO send
some money TO Cleveland at once to
civilize and convert those heathens who
disgraced his church and their race, by
| jeering at sixteen black baptist chris
tians. The same kind of prejudice that
is in politics against the. Negro may be
| found without much effort in some of
the so-called white christian churches.
He'll will hardly be big enough to ac-
commodate the crop of white christians
who now cumber the earth. Not
great many days ago, there appeared
news item in The Sun to the effect that
the girls in q class in a Baptist Sabbath

not get rid of Negro girl who was 4
member of their class that they would

North with all their laziness, false pride,

are poisoning the northern air with their
southern prejudices and some of this
air is getting into the churches and
other places.

The Auditorium was packed last
night with AN audience composed of the
best people Of Spokane to see Miss
Florence Roberts in the new play,
"Gioconda." The star and her COM
psny make the best of cluinsily con-
structed drama, the authorship of which
is claimed by Gabrielle d'Annunzio
whoever he may be. The play was dis
appointing throughout and when the
curtain went down on the final act
everybody heaved a sigh of relief and
thanked each other that the agony
and misery was over.
Miss Roberts struggles Throughout
the play to at least make it entertain
ing and but for the efforts of this
talented actress it is hardly probable
that the large audience would have re
manned to see the last act. She threw
all the talent and vivacity that she
possesses into the portrayal of Silvia
the leading character of the play, but
it was plain to most of the audience
that she was wasting her talent. Al
times this fact seemed to be perplexine
to her, but she struggled on and made
the best that was possible out of the
poor material which she had.
