DECORATION DAY IN WICHITA.
Its Celebration Yesterday BY the Grand Army.


Notwithstanding it rained nearly all day
yesterday and the day before, making
mortar beds OF the roadways and streets,
crowds from the country came in, and the
soldier element turned out in force. As
this is mostly absorbed by the G. A. r., we
observed none in the fine procession which
paraded the sidewalks in the rain, except
those who wore the badge of honor Of this
grand scmi.military order.
Until the organization of Garfield Post in
this city, the 3Oth of May came and went,
with as little regard being paid to its OBJ.
servance, as any ordinary day in the year.
This was the third celebration by this Post
each one of which reflects credit upon the
order and upon those exercising its man
agement.
The opera house was perfect jam. The
programme as published was carried out to
the letter, and no more agreeable entertain
ment for an afternoon could be desired.
The scent of the roses was upon everything,
and each man and woman seemed to realize
that it was " good for them to be there"
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. Hewitt. Mrs. Russell's class then
sang" God of the Nation.D This was well
executed and pleased the audience i'm.
mensely. A feature "not down in the
bills was the recitation of "The
Dandy Fifth by MIR. Doyle, Of the
Charlotte Thompson troupe, now play
ing in the city. We have rarely heard
this equalled, and it is needless to say i
brought down the house.
Mrs. Russell's class, assisted by Mrs
Chas. Hatton at the piano, sang with mucl
feeling the song entitled ''Rest, Soldier
Rest
The recitation by Miss Laura Woodcock
"Strew Flowers Ger Their Graves,
though difficult piece for a professional t
undertake, was rendered by Miss Laura il
very creditable manner.
The 'Battle Prayer by comrade &. w
Arbuckle was worthy OF the occasion, an
stamps the Professor as q vocalist Of a hig
order of merit. We have heard the Pro
fessor in dialect sing, and claim that he ha
no equal, in this respect, in the State. Til

the heart of every veteran present.
The following are the words OF the "Ba'
tie Prayer
Father. bend TO Thee.
Life, it was Thy gift
Thou now canst shield il;
From Thee il came,
And to Thee l yield it
In life or death forsake not one,
Father, | bend to Thee.
Father, trust i'm Thee.
When. in the battled strife
Death did surround one;
Fen. at the lannon's mouth,
Death has not found me:
Father, twas Thy will, trust in The
Father, still guide me.

When, at Thy call
My life then shall yield;
When in the cold tomb
Ny fate shall be sealed;
Father. my soul take unto Thee,
Father forSaEe not me.

HUNGARIAN DANCERS.

The Hungarians dance for their very
lives. To them the practice Of the
terpsichorean art is no mere languid and
graceful undulation OF the figure, but q
perfect wild abandon Of mirth, and they
whirl and spin and gyrate with the We
locity Of dervishes until their long black
locks stand out straight, and their faces
are ablaze with heat and excitement.
Watch them as they perform the csardes
their national dance-to the strange,
wild harmony of the cziganokl Watch
them as they balance themselves back
ward and forward while adapting their
subtle movements to the measure Of the
animating strains. The csardas is essen
TALLY pantomimic and describes by mute
action the "unquiet course Of true love. !"
The music is at first slow, and the coup
les walk up and down the room together
in stately manner, then, affecting to
have made each others acquaintance
aud fallen victims to the tender passion,
the music grows more lively, and the
courtship begins in earnest. The
lover advances toward his inamorata,
she coyly responds, and they spin round
together for few seconds, when, as if
thinking she had given him too much
encouragement, the maiden retires
pouting, whereupon eagain approaches,
but this time she turns her back on him
and dances off in contrary direction.
Following her, however, he overtakes
and seizes her round the waist, and
away they 60 again whirling deliciously,
until she manages to extricate herself
from his grasp. Shy and friendly by
turns, now encouraging her partner and
now retreating with offended dignity,
the lover at length becomes chagrined
at her caprices, turns his back upon
her, and they dance dos dos for q
while, with indignant gestures, till the
maid, with signs of repentance, seeks re-
cancellation. The music grows faster
and faster, the lovers, in the ecstasy Of
reunion, whirl and twirl mndly, nor dc
they stop until both are quite giddy and
out of breath, when, retiring from the
scene, another couple take their plact
and the performance begins again

The President of the Kentucky
Press Association has expressed a
willingness to call meeting this year
if the members so desire. For one,
we think meeting should by all
means be called if the organization
of the Association is to be preserved.
The body is now without a secretary,
as the former secretary has long since
ceased to be member of the press
and the president elected for one year
has been in Office for four years, dur
ing which time no meeting has been
held. BY all means let's have a
meeting this summer and LEI
it be composed of only bona
tide editors and publishers with
no guests permitted to share the priv
ileges of the members excepting tn,
lady members of their families.

The Cincinnati riot is but the nee

lynch the tiends whose hands are
red with blood. Among this num-
Der are the red handed villains who
murdered a whole family and sold
their bodies to a medical college for
81 head. While this state of affairs
exists ii Is no wonder that the people
became aroused and attempted to
take the law into their own hand.
They have failed, but the end is not
yet. There will be more of this. moi

the end. Juries must be made to un.

Il. s. Lapham has owned q canary
bird and small cur dog about three
years. The two pets have, in fact, known
each other intimately all their lives, and
they have been on uncommonly cordial
terms, considering the radical difference
in their respective natures. On Wednes-
day last the bird escaped from its cage,
and worry soon after the dog disappeared.
When Mr.. Lapham opened his front
door yesterday morning there stood the
dog with the truant canary in its mouth.
