KEITH THEATRES BAN
 PROHIBITION JOKES

X recent order given by E. F. Albee, president of the Keith Vaudeville Cir cult to every house under his control, strikes from the acts of performers all jokes about prohibition, whether in song or discourse. A representative of the Christian Science Monitor reports that a number of complaints about stage folk who consistently indulged in jokes regarding the Nolstead Law and is enforcement, had been received l by Mir Albee from law-abiding people who looked upon these sallies as verit- able assaults upon the Constitution of the United States
 This decision follows the example shown some time since in the passage of similar ruling by the Orpheum, the western vaudeville circuit. In an interview short time ago with re porter, Marcus Heiman, chairman of the board of directors of the Orpheum was questioned as to permitting actors to use the stage to ridicule prohibition He stated that this is being rapidly eliminated "It is realized that the individuals ill our audience do not agree on this issue. Therefore, it is good policy to cut 1t out. No artist iS permitted to offend. We always strive to make that clear he said, and added that the first class acts in the better houses dc not rely on the prohi hition joke to get n laugh as do the cheaper acts showing in the lesser houses
 The old saloon days joke k rapidly being weeded out of vaudeville is the report, also, of John T. Nash business manager of the Western Vaudeville Managers Association. who directs the booking of acts to the principal thea ters in the western states on the ma jor circuits Better actors are cutting fl out. There is a step toward more re fined and better grade acts sponsored especially by the high-class artists. II is only the lesser players that continue to use it. Reference to the good old days has been very much overlooked and the audience tires of this fires pective of their views on the prohibi- ton subject"

of 900, 900, 900 people, or one.half the total population of the globe.
 And the results oD the field have kept pace with the larger investment in the work and number of workers. Since the outset of the Campaign the Foreign Mission Board reports the or ganization of IF new churches, 21 1,723 baptisms, 211 new Sunday schools with a gain of 17,576 pupils, native contributions to Baptist work of $1,- 003 ,39068, and 529, ,642 treatments ad- ministered by missionary physicians. Churches on the foreign fields, exclu- sive of the new terriotry iI Europe and the Near East, now number e22 with 54,251 members There are also 971 Sunday schools with 53691 pupils, and 694 mission schools Of all grades with 26,507 students.
 Expense Rate Is Low
 More than s6,250,060 net has gone from the Campaign into foreign mis- sion work, and so economically have these funds been handled the Board reports. that 9624 cents out of every dollar has actually reached the for eign fields, only 374 cents out of each dollar being required to care for the tosal cost of administration But with these larger receipts and economical administration the Board is unable to meet the demands upon lt, and at it's last annual meeting il was compelled to reduce the requests Of the mission. aries on the field for appropriations by more than s1,00Q ,000.

distinction of being the first architect ever sent out by the Foreign Mission Board, and his appointment indicates the vast extent of the Southern Bap- tist work in that country. More than half of the total number of mission aries in the employ of this board are located in China, where the results of their labors are very gratifying to the officers of the Board.
 Large interest centers, also, in the launching of an intensive missionary work in Palestine, to which country there go Rev. and Mrs. Fred Bunyan Pearson of Moulton, Ala, and Rev. and Mrs J. Walsh Watts. of Laurens. s. c. Some native missionaries are already at work in Palestine, and the outlook there is considered very encouraging despite the present complicatetd politi- cal and racial controversies.
 Campaign Brings Enlargement
 Tn addition to the sending out of 250 new workers to foreign fields the 75 Million Campaign has made 1t possible to increase the number of native workers from I'll to 1172, to practical ly double the missionary equipment in the older fields of China, Japan, Al rica, Italy, Brazil. Argentine, Chile, Uruguay and Mexico, and to enter the new fields of Spain, Jugo- -Slavia, Hun gary, Roumania, Southern Russia, Pal estine and Siberia.

WITH the sending out this season w of fifty new missionaries by the W Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, 250 new workers have been sent to foreign t}eids during the 75 Million Campaign, 1 or one-half the goal that was set in he number of workers to be provided dnring that movement. It Is antici- pated the remaining 250 will go out during the remainder of the Campaign period that will expire in December, 1894. The workers going out this sea son will enter the fields of China, Ja- pan, Africa, Palestine, Brazil, Argen- tina, Uruguay, Chile and Mexico.
 Inasmuch as the largest missionary effort of the denomination Is eentered in the Orient, the larger portion of the workers sailed from Seattle Saturday, September 2, on the Admiral Liner President Jackson for stations in China and Japan. The missionaries for fields on other continents sail from New York on various lines and some of them will not depart until September 30.
 Varied Types Workers Sent
 Included in the list of missionaries are preachers and evangelists, teach CTS, doctors, nurses, one architect, one expert in domestic science, and spe- cial workers among women and chil- dren.
