At the Majestic.

The bill at the Majestic is one of thu
best balanced seen here this year.
There are six different acts and every
one of them is full of fun and spice
enough to cause plaudits to come from
the auditors all through the show.
The head liner this week is Leo
Filler, young Russian boy violinis..
Young Filler looks to be below twenty
years of age. but he is. no novice with
the violin. He plays with a grace and
skill that is amazing. At the perform
ance last night he was repeatedly en-
cored, until his arms ached under the
strain. The public can well look for
this youth to be in faster company
some time within the near future.
Then there is a sketch entitled, A Child
Shall Lead Them. which is presented
by Eleanor Blanchard & Co. the cast
Marie Evans and James Smith. This
playlet is one of the most entertaining
ever seen in these parts.
The rest of the bill all towers above
the average seen here in Topeka. Nellie
Burt entertains with some interesting
character changes in which the Irish,
German and girls of other nationalities
are portrayed. Brunswig brothers have
a stunt featuring some high class
character and novelty singing which is
good. LindstrOm & Anderson are COM
edy novelty acrobats that are really
funny. MuiNeue ~ I0OIdS, Two girls
have a nice singing and dancing act, in
which Miss Thomas wins lots of ap-
plause with her toe dancing specialties.
Mr.. Karl Hummel is reinforced this
week in his Pictured Melody by Miss
Ona May Miller, a local singer. In the
song Il Wish I Had a GirP' Mr.. Hum
mel and Miss Miller alternate with the
verses and on the refrain sing together
q sort of soprano and baritone duet.
The moving pictures are up to the
usual standard.

Why Snow Is White.

The reason snow is white is that all
the elementary colors are blended to-
gether in the radiance that is thrown
Off from the surface Of the crystals,
which may be examined in such a way
as to detect these colors before they
are mingled together to give the eye
the impression Of whiteness. The
whiteness Of the snow is also In some
degree referable to the quantity of air
which is left among the frozen parti-
cles. Considerably more than a thou
sand distinct forms of snow crystals
have been enumerated. These minute
crystals and prisms reflect all the com
pound rays of which white light con
sists. Pink and various other tints may
be seen reflected from sheets of snow
under certain angles Of sunshine. SO
much light is reflected by snow in the
day that the eyes often suffer from it,
and enough is given in the night to
guide the traveller in the absence OF
artificial light or moonlight.-Chicago

DEATH IN CHURCH
KEPT A SECRET
Congregation Listens to Sermon With
out Being Told About II.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27-with an
intense fervor. noticeable to the dozen
fellow members of his morning class
IN Eden Methodist Church, Robert
Adams. "A years old. yesterday raised
his voice high above the younger men.
singing the hymn, I'm On My Way
to Heaven"
When the last note was sounded. al
most as a prophetic fulhllment of the
words. he fell backward in his chair
and died almost instantly.
George Pierce. leader of the class,
which was composed of men only,
hastened 20 the aid of the totteriug &
form, and a member ran around the
corner for Or. Marion c. Benjamin,
son Of the Eden Churchs pastor.
The physician reached the class room
in a Hew moments. but was too late.
Heart failure was given as the im-
mediate cause of death. superinduced
by overexertion I'm walking over tho
icy streets from his home, a half dozen
blocks away.
The dramatic death occurred only
a few minutes before the time for the
regular 1890 o'clock service. No of-
fort was made TO remove the body from
the class room until the sermon had
been preached and the congregation
dismissed, nor was any reference made
10 it by DIR. Benjamin in his talk for
fear Of confusion among the worship
pers.
In the evening, however, he reciied
the manner Of Adams's death In detail
and made the Christian life of the
dead man his text for an impressive
sermon.

The explosion Of gunpowder Is divid-

The ignition is the setting on fire Of

Of ignition. Combustion Is the burn

He is Expected to Die
COUSIN SAID: "HIM CLAZY"

Him clay" was about the only rea,

NAL could learn to-day, caused Lee Yang
Hee. a chinaman aged A. years. to at
tempt to commit suicide. He is stil living.
but the doctors at the Delaware Hos.
pital. where he was taken. have little
hopes for his recovery.
Ho Lee, Chinese iaundryman. at No
300 East Sixth street where the tragedy
occurred. was the one who attributed
Lee Yang Hee's action. to him being
crazy. That Is about all that could be
learned about the case.
The wounded chinaman in his effort
to take his life used a small meat cleaver
freshly sharpened lie drew the keen
edge OF the weapon across his throat and
cut a cash so deep, that the windpipe was
punctured
Carl Heiss. aged II years. who lives at
the northeast corner Of Sixth and Walnut
streets. was the first to discover what
the man had done. and IN fact the China
man was hacking away at his throat
when the youth walked IN on him.
Young Heiss has chickens In the ward
in the rear OF Ho Lees place and he was
going through the Chinese establishment
to feed these. when he came In upon Lee
Yang Hee. The latter was standing IN the
kitchen and was 80 busy cutting at his
throat that he did not notice the en-
trance OF young Heiss. The boy immedl-
ately aroused the other Cinnamon in the
place and the pclce and the Phoenix
ambulance were then summoned.
Officers Conner and Wardle were dis.
patched from the police station to the
scene of the trouble and when they enter
cd the laundry, they found the wounded
Chnaman standing in the doorway with
blood streaming from his throat. He still
held the cleaver in his hands and this
was taken from him by Wardle, and Is
now at the police station.
The wound which the Chlnaman had in.
nicted IN his throat was an awful cash
and he was hurried to the hospital. His
chances for recovery are slight.
To a reporter for THE EVENING
JOURNAL. Ho Lee said that the wound
ed man had come from Philadelphia yes
terday and had dinner with him. He
asked for 81 saying that he was going to
Norfolk which was given him and he
left He returned about midnight and in
the early hours of this morning disturbed
Ho Lee by continually getting up from his
bed and walking around.
According to Ho Lee. he acted strange
ly and when asked for a reason why tho
wounded man cut his throat Ifo Lee an
swered: Him clazy." meaning that the
wounded man was suffering from some
mental disorder.

Vandebilt, eldest brother of the bride
gave her away having been urged to
act by his brother Alfred, the son who,
by his fathers will, was made head Of
the family.
The fact that Cornelius did the honor
for his sister was taken to indicate
that there has been complete recon-
lciliation of the Vanderbilt family fol-
lowing the long period Of estrange-
lment.
Aside from the marches and the
elaborate classic music by Franko's
Orchestra prior to and during the cere-
lmony, there were thirty-slx choristers
in red vestments frem st. Patrick's
Cathedral. The cathedral quartet,
composed OF John f. Finegan, tenor. Of
Wilmington, Del; Nicholas Sebastian,
~. f. Motley and William f. Hooley,
assisted the choristers.

made in the princess style. it's heavy
ivory satin being untrimmed save for
an elaborate wedding veil, a volumi-
nous web-like slSein OF real lace which
covered the bride from her head, where
1t was held by a chaplet Of white or
