SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Minstrel Shows Are Not All Alike,
Says loWery.

Minister'S are not all alike. TO be
able TO demonstrate that this is fact,
the public is urged to attend Lowerys
Greater Ministries when it appears at
the Grand theatre, July 4.
The management of this famous col
ored organization emphasizes the I'M
usual quality of it's wardrobe. DOth
that worn in it's parade and in the
performance. The women. perhaps.
will be the best judges Of this ward
robe and will appreciated both the
value of the material used and the
skill of the designing and work. Never
was a colored minstrel show dressed
as in the Lowery Greater Minstrel,
but for it to be any different would
be not to be in line with the high
class entertainment offered. There
are couple of meritorious white
| minstrels but their success deepnds
largely upon their ability to initiate
the colored race. Therefore, the man.
agement of Lowery's Greater Min
strels conceived the idea of assembling
thirty.five really classy, natural and
capable performers of that race, and
consequently an unusual minstrel or
ganization Is the result.
For singing and dancing, none can
excel the colored race, and 1t seems
as if the cream of the colored talent
has been brought into the Lowery
Minstrels, at least this company is es'
tablishing itself rapidly as a top lin
er attraction and is not thought of as
a "nigger show''-it being in the same
class and character as any white min
strel. unless it be that it is superior,
and the white people approaching the
efforts of there deserving people are
very liberal with their patronage

LETTERS FROM

FROM SERGT. JACK BENNETT.

FROM sERGT. JACK BENNETT.
Somewhere in France, June 2. '1S.
My Gear Friends Mr.. and Mrs. Hill
and Family:
| suppose you think | had forgotten
you but such is not the case as | have
made inquiries about you in every let
ter and as it is Sunday and | am i'll
charge of quarters | thought would
make use of this old typewriter and
let you know that | am in the pink
and hope this finds you all the same.
| am getting along splendidly and
like my part in this war o. X. so far
but of course would like it whole
lot better if it were all over.
would like to tell you a lot of in
teresting things but the censor wont
stand for it so will have to confine
myself to generalities. Memorial Day
] was in the platoon that decorated
the graves of the Yankee boys thai
have died at this post. 1t was very
impressive ceremony and brought
home the fact that we must get old
Fritz and do it quick as America is
about the best old place to live ana
die in that know of. -.
l bet Mr. Hill looks over that Ofd
paper as carefully as possible and
when he sees where it looks q little
bad does some tall cussing and Dick is
no amateur with the English language
when he is in the right mood. We
have everything we want at this post
and my officers are from the Regular
Army and We all get along just fine.
The country is beautiful now and the
women play an important part in It's
cultivation They seem to be able to
do most everything that a man can
do and do it as well. On Sunday in
the parks and romenades the FREEDOM
inant color is black as most every
one has lost some one in this great
war. don't want to see that case IN
our glorious country and hope it will
soon be over but it looks little dis
tant right now. How is my little
John: | wish you all the very best
of health and luck. Hoping it will DC
my good fortune to see you all again
in the near future, | am,

MADE MARCHING MEN SMILE
Appeal of Groups of Partisan Midi
nettes Got Desired Results From
Passing British Soldiers.

The Paris Figaro recounts the fol-
lowing picturesque episode at review
recently, which admirably expressed
the enthusiastic admiration of the
Partisan crowd for the British sol
Gers The latter marched past. stern
and impassive. Groups of midinettes
observed that the soldiers were not
smiling. "Smile. please, smile." they
cried in French. The men did not
falter, but continued to march, grave
and meditative, because they did not
understand "Cry Smile to them," a
linguist in the crowd suggested.
whereupon the group of midinettes
cried in English, Smile, please,
SMILE" And then the British smiled,
to the great delight of the girls.
L'Oeuvre writes: .'We may say with
out hesitation, because we know we
shall be understood by our incompar-
able Poilus, that it was the British
troops, and especially the Scotch, who
produced the greatest impression"

Rents Up In Holland,

House rents in the larger Dutch cit
les, especially The Hague, writes
United States Vice Consul A. G. Mel
son from that capital, have been in
creasing continuously, owing in great
measure to the large influx of Bel
gians at the beginning of the war, and
the later continuous arrivals of Eng
lish and German prisoners of war, and
the few new buildings erected during
the last years.
To meet this deficiency the govern
ment has erected a number of tempo
rary buildings and barracks, but many
of the well-to-do foreign officers and
soldiers seek houses and rooms and,
consequently, the rents keep soaring.
