PARSIFAL.
Three names to conjure with-Wagner,
Damrosch and Parsifal-are conjoined in
the announcement which is made In re-
lation to the Toler Auditorium entertain
ment of April IS This date selected for
the rendition Of the rudiments of the
Wagnerian masterpiece, and as reveren-
tial spirit has become inseparable from
the work. the occasion promises to be
one of unusual appropriateness. Time
was, only little while back, when there
seemed little probability of any American
audience ever seeing Parsifal. Later, 1t
seemed impossible that the tremendous
work would have hearing in this
country other than in New York. It is
to the credit of Mr.. Damrosch that he
has made it possible for the Wichita
public to see enough of the music drama
to enable them to realize its meaning. All
the chief numbers will be given. and
while the entertainment will be brought
within the scope of two or three hours
performance instead of half a day, as
is the case in the complete production.

quate idea may be had from the abridged

Coming Attractions for

At the Crawford.

At the Crawford.
The Ewing Blunkan company closed
their engagement last night at the Craw-
ford, in a farce comedy entitled, Con
fusion. The play was exceptionally good
for a farce comedy, and the manner in
which the company presented 1T was ex-
cellent. The title is confusion" and
that is what the play is from beginning
to end The story, which is built upon
the lives of a young married couple who
are just enjoying their honeymoon, when
the young wife conceives the idea she
must have pet dog. but her husband
objects. Her uncle thinking he will help
her, starts out to find the much wanted
pet After searching for some time, he
receives a telegram from a friend that
he has found a dog and would send IT to
him. This is what started the uproar,
the wife trying to keep Ii secret to
surprise her husband. but just the
surprise is about to come, servant re-
ccives telegram that her baby is sick,
and as she had accepted her position as
a single woman, her first thought is to
keep II secret and to get a short vaca-
tion to see her child. The servant drops
her telegram and the husband, suspect
ing his wife is deceiving him. finds the
telegram and reads Ii. Then everything
was confusion. for every one was in a
terrible state of mind trying to find out
the trouble. The wife knew nothing Of
the baby, and the husband, not know
ing about the dog, and finding the ably
in the house is about insane to think
his wife has deceived him. Just as every
cne is in the worst state of confusion the
servant confesses her secret, and the
wife explains about the dog and all was
Quieted and happy to think that matters
were not So bad as they appeared. There
were many funny situations which kept
the audience in roars of laughter. The
different plays presented during the week
have all been good. and the manner in
which they have been presented could
hardly have been improved upon. If this
should ever play here again the
seating capacity of the Crawford would
be taxed.

the story are finely proportioned with
view to unity. Take your sister to see

WHEN MEN CEASE SWEARING.
As Attention is Quietly Called to
 Profanity.

Don't swear. Whats the use?'
 An earnest minister, the Rev. Roland D. Sawyer of a Brockton (Mass.) Congre- gational church is making this the theme for life sermon and a life work, says The Chicago Tribune.
 It has been an indictment frequently re- turned against the American, that he swears more often. more loudly. more profanely, and more uselessly than any man of any other nationality.
 And this is strange, since the American of all people dislikes to waste time doing useless things And certainly 1t will be admitted swearing is useless. The Rev. early in life. He had acquired the village habit of swearing, but once convinced of sin he dropped it. He also discovered that swearing is so common in America that 1t is little noticed.
 After he had been graduated from a divinity school he began an active cam paign against the use of profanity. He drew up a simple form of pledge and secured the signatures of several young people in his home town of Kensington. This pledge was as follows:
 T. the undersigned, do hereby resolve 10 use no more profane language of any kind, or strong adjectives of any kind. May the Lord help me to keep my resolve"
 He carried this crusade into the factory town of Brockton, which also was a swearing town. By way of carrying this on the minister made use of the fact that the average person fights shy of the con- ventional tract, and he had printed the briefest appeals on colored cards, with a catch phrase on one side and a little sermon on the other
 He handed these cards to men whom he heard swearing on the street. Sometimes the men took them under the impression that they were tickets. He got out stickers, and when he read a newspaper in the train he put on d sticker when he had finished 1t and passed it to one of the train employees.
 His friends became interested in his crusade and helped to pass out his cards, buying them at the rate of $1 a thousand. The cards were neither offensive nor priggish They laid stress on the useless ness of swearing, on the sin, and on the discourtesy to strangers who might hear and be wounded by the language.
 And soon a surprising fact was devel- oped. The people in general were not wicked, recklessly, nor even consciously profane All they needed was to have their attention called to the fact that they swore, Gold they were glad to cease.
 T have known of only two instances"
