PREPARING FOR
THE IMMIGRANTS

WINNIPEG, Man., March 2. -
The local officers of the Salvation
Army are busy making prepare
tons for the large body of immi-
grants who will arrive here from
England during the coming sum-
mer. About $500 British people will
be brought west directly under the
care of the army and the first
steamer with part of these immi-
grants started from England today.
This is an undertaking of the Sal
walton Army, prompted by the dou-
BILE intention of relieving the situa-
ton in Great Britain caused by the
existence of large number of I'M
employed in the large cities of
Great Britain and to supply much
needed help to the farmers and
business mel in the west of Can
ada. Of the $500 to come to Win
nipeg it is expected that about 1900
will locate in Manitoba, while the
rest will go to Saskatchewan.

Next season he will make his final
appearance in New England. Can.
ada and the northwest. The sec
ond season will be final on the Pa
cific coast and the third season a
farewell to the south and the larg-
est cities in general. He will play
in Paris also. Besides his present
repertory of nine plays, he will re-
vive "Cyrano." produce Macbeth"
and two new plays. Two large uni
versities have offered him profess
sorships, but it is doubtful whether
he will accept either of the offers.
His versatility in many other fields
is well known and he will find d.
verting occupation in music and
painting, besides devoting himself
to the education of his son. Mr..
Mansfield is a comparatively young
man, being less than so years old.

TEACHING OFFICERS
HIGHER TACTICS

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2.
An interesting series of military
lectures, to which but few army Of
ficers are admitted, has been open
ed here and the lectures will be de-
livered every Thursday afternoon
at the army war college in this city.
The lectures are delivered to the
officers detailed for duty with the
college, and one officer each repre-
senting each branch of the service
in the war department. They COM
prise systematic discussion Of the
employment of infantry, cavalry
and artillery and the respective
special staff corps in time of war,
together with such subjects as mill
tary fire and the system Of COM
munication on the battlefield. These
lectures have to do with prepared
ness for conflict, and represent the
most expert views obtainable of
the duties of the various branches
of the military esta blishment in the
field in the presence of the enemy.

led to death over the success Of
our joke. In a little while we saw
the old man come into the dining
room looking glum. He took a seat
as far as possible from us, so we
could only guess at what allied him.
After breakfast we went ont to the
office, where We heard that the
clerk had told Won that it wass all
q joke, put up on him by the boys.
They say he nearly fell dead. The
outcome was that when we went to
get our keys we found letter in
each box. On opening them we
found We had each been fined $25
so the joke was not sofunny after
all, and Won der Aye had the grand
laugh on us.

A Tuscan straw has it's yellow in

flow Won DER ALE. GOT Even

Arlie Latham tells this one of
Chris Won der Abe and the old st.
Louis Browns:
During one of our visits to Wash
ington, Won der Abe was being en-
tertained by Mike Scanlon, the old
est promoter Of base ball in that
city. He had spent delightful
evening sight seeing and drinking
"pousse Cafes" and when he re
turned to the hotel it took nine bell
boys to get him and his load to bed.
AS soon as the boys saw his condi-
ton it occurred to them that the
next morning a little music at an
early hour would help cheer DE
Boss" for a starter before taking
his customary 80 cocktails. Now
Washington was the greatest city
for street pianos or hurdygurdys,
and that old-time eta, ra, ra, boom
de aye" had just become popular.
We used to sing it
"Ta, ra, ra, ar, boom de aye,
Hip, hurrah for Won der Aye"
and we really thought those were
the correct words and that the song
was written in his honor. Well, we
secured around town until we
found a fellow with a piano and
engaged him to be at the hotel at
$50 sharp and play right under
Won der Ahe's window, which was
on the ground floor. We told him
If he would play this one tune for
two solid hours we would give him
50. He agreed, so we returned to
the hotel and retired for a short
time that remained before $50.
Well, the fellow came on time, and
played until we were all cross-eyed.
We stood 1t as long as we could,
then got up and dressed, for we
wanted to be on hand to see what
de Boss" would do. At $50 he
came strollng down to the office,
his watch having stopped and he
not having any idea it was less
than 10 o'clock. We kept out of
never saw such fine city as Wash
ington, he said. "Vy, even the
street musicianers serenaded me in
my bet dis morning. 1t vas great!
Da played my own biece, tool"
At that we all took to the high
grass and the breakfast table. tick

port that Richard Mansfield has ex-
pressed his intention of closing his

HEALER CROKER DOING
SOME WONDERFUL STUNTS

If H. o. Crocker continues his
work Of healing all the sick in Spo-
kane, the business of the regular
licensed physicians is liable to be
reduced to a minimum. Crocker is
one healer who seems to do little
talking and lots of work, If one can
judge from the fame of his healing
which has gone abroad. He appears
to be vouched for by not alone the
poor and lowly but by well to do
and those occupying good social
position.
The Press attention was first
called to Crocker and his work by
J. B. Onstine, who loans money,
with Offices in the Zeigler block.
Onstine stated that he had suffered
from terrible stomach trouble and
asthma, and was expected to die
at any moment and that this heal,
er, Crocker, has carted off his load
of troubles In less than a minute
Justine is greatly exercised over
Crocker's work and says so people
