Devout Mecca Pilgrims.

We stopped our special train yester
day for an hour or two in the very
middle of native Africa, and went for
q morning walk. There were troops
Of natives on donkeys from the vii.
lagos around coming for water to the
wells, which they themselves dig, and
we talked to some delightful native
boys about their lives.
One boy standing by the well, to my
surprise, was on his way to Mecca,
having travelled already two or three
thousand miles, which had taken two
or three years. His father had died
on the way, and when I asked him
how he would manage he said Quietlyi
God will provide" and It never en-
tered his mind to ask me for any
thing.
Five minutes afterward We came
across three women-an old woman
and two daughters. The eldest daugh-
ter was FIVE and twenty. They were
coming back from Mecca, but they had
started of, she said, when she was Q
little girl about twelve.-Bishop OF

CRESCENT.

There are other plays, but none so
popular as "McFadden's Flats"
This year, that best of all roaring
musical farce spectacles, "McFadden's
Flats" which opens at the Crescent
Theatre Sunday night, Sept. LIST, with
everything re-arranged, sparkling and
rejuvenated. The management has re-
placed everything heretofore used with
entirely new and up-to-date material
and the consequence is a brand new
and thoroughly finished farce comedy,
spectacular review of the latest fads
and funny things of the day. NC
Fadden's Flats" has long since earned
the top-notch position among extrava-
CANT farces, and the idea of remodel
ing the scenic environment and recon
structing the piece generally has been
an annual occurrence, but this season
an extra effort has been made in the
way of renewing the lines, situations
and decidedly refreshing atmosphere
permeates the entire performance. A
brilliant and prettily costumed chorus
of youthful maidens assist in the at
tractively arranged ensemble and the
modern popular music leaves nothing
to be desired in a musical way. The
specialties are the best that ever ap-
peared in any musical farce comedy.
A wealth of money has been expended
on "McFadden's Flats" this season to
costume it beyond the fondest dreams
of the indulgent public.
