AT THE EMPIRE.

Miss Jackson, the colored vocalist,
is proving a sensation at the Empire
She captivated another big audience
last night with her singing, and was
forced to respond TO so many encores
that the management requested her to
desist in order that the remainder of
the bill might be continued. 1t is the
remarkable range of the young wom-
ans voice that will interest those who
understand music. Miss Jackson
makes her last appearance at the EN-
Pre- tonight, as do James Grady &

toured a portion of the United States
last season, playing some of the larg-

country. The men with the long ques

prowess on the diamond. One of the
most celebrated games played was
with Georgetown university of Wash

a fiercely-fOught thinning tie. Other
teams played last year were Beloit
college, Forham university, Trinity
college and University of California.
Only limited number of games could

viii speak at Augustana college Thurs
day night. The lecture, which will
be the second held this year under
the auspices of the college lyceum,
is one of the series DR. Wiley declared
he would make at the time of his
resignation, and which will take him
from one end of the continent to the
other The lecture of Dr. Wiley Will
carry message vital to every home
that of pure food. The Public Health
Cur Greatest National Asset" is the
title of his talk, but those who have
heard him deliver the lecture declare
that it doesn't begin to describe how
interesting DR.. Wiley is as a speaker.
Not only has he a message of supreme
interest, but the former fighting chem
istry bureau head is also a humorist
OF the first calibre. His lectures are
said TO sparkle with wit and satire.
Dir Wiley comes here under the jur-
isdiction of the Redpath lyceum bur
eau of Chicago. Within six hours Of
the time that Wiley had rendered his
resignation to President Taft, Harry
P Harrison of the Redpath bureau
called upon DR. Wiley in Washington
and closed the contract for a trans

the most noteworthy lecture platform
