Olio of the most novel and Interesting cutcrtulnmcnts over given In West Sernnton was that of the Kalllr hoy choir at the Jackson Street Raptlst , church last evening, before an audience that completely taxed the sea tine eap nclty of this spacious auditorium. Nothing like It has ever been seen In this city, mid It gave the people an insight Into the life and character of the natives of .South Africa, as repre sented by the children of various tribes in that far-off land, of which compara tively little Is known.

Maimer. Miss Clark Is a native of South Af rlca and tells interestingly of the Uo ors and natives of that country. In speaking of the present war she said it means everything to the future wel fare of the natives, and horrible as it is, the struggle will undoubtedly re dound to their benellt.
