LAST OF ORGAN LYCEUM COURSE
Royal Gypsy Chorus at Auditorium
Friday Night.

The indications warrant the belief
that the last entertainment on the Or
gan Lyceum Course, the Royal Gypsy
chorus, will be given to the largest
house of the season. This is expecting
much, for the last entertainment on
this course brought out a house of over
$500 people. The interest in these en-
tertainments has been increasing from
about 200 up to $40 at the last enter
tainment. The concert is to be given
next Friday evening. Those desiring re-
served seats for single admissions
should apply early as the two sections
reserved especially for this purpose will
not supply the demand from present in
dications. Section H in the dress circle
and a. little over half of Section NJ in
the balcony were reserved for single ad-
missions and at the two last entertain
ments these seats were all taken before
the doors were opened. However, very
good seats can be obtained for a concert
at any time as the balance of the tickets
prepared for the season will be handed
out for this sale when the others are
exhausted.
The program which we give below is
very interesting for it's variety and
quality and indicates that this company
intends to sing for the people.

BOY BUILDS AN ORGAN.
One of Church Size Fitted Into His
Fathers Home.

Chicago, March 17.-Building pipe
organ of the ordinary church size and
installing it in his fathers home is the
accomplish ment of William Barnes.
the 15-year-old son of Charles o.
Barnes. The genius which the boy
has displayed in this accomplishment
has aroused the comment of his
friends, his instructors. and organ
builders of Chicago.
More than five years ago the boy
showed a taste for music, coupled
with an aptitude for mechanics. He
learned to play the piano we'll when
ten year sof age. When he was IL
after much study he started to work
to build an organ, which would COM
ply with the limitations imposed by a
private residence. The building took
three years. All of the instrument,
with the exception of the ornamental
pipes, the celluloid keys, and small
portion of the outer woodwork. was
hand made and fitted, no aid from
experts being employed.

Before the conference adjourned 1T
went on record as favoring a plan for
securing "Belvoir,' the John D. Knox
property in Potwin as a home for the
aged, though the action taken in no
way binds the committee to select this
site. The reports indicate that there
are 2,755 probationers in the Methodist
church, an increase of 81 over last
year. The total membership in the
Methodist conference at this time
amounts to 2S,631 or an increase of L.
S39 over that of last year.
The conference was liberal in its ap-
portionment of money for the various
dependents upon the church for the
ensuing year: $14, 800 being donated to
foreign missions, $4,000 to home mis-
sions, $6,388 to Baker university and
$3.50 to Bethany hospital. Besides
these expenditures $6,S33 was set aside
