CLOSING EXERCISES.


ed Tuesday evening to witness the clos
ing exercises of the Presbyterian
College. The audience came to be
pleased, and had good reason to feel SC
when the excerises were concluded.
The pulpit and alter of the handsome
church were tastefully trimmed with
natural flowers in full bloom, and pre-
sented a beautiful appearance, quite in
keeping with the young, eager, happy
faces that appeared upon it. The
exercises were opened by song by the
school, and short prayer by Rev.
Sheldon which was followed by a song
Pretty Moon from the little ones of
the Kindergarten department. Frank
Hobble delivered the address of well
come which was original and couched
in plain, earnest words. A song by the
kindergarten class "Busy Children in
which the little ones went through the
motions of those amusements and
labOrs which are peculiar to childhood,
in manner which reflects the highest
credit upon their teacher, Mrs. Jones.
1t is safe to say that no part of the en-
tertainment afforded the audience more
pleasure than the two songs by the
kindergarten class. Willie Spencer
recited the well known story of "Poor
little Jim" in a very creditable manner.
Claude McCarty read the different
meter and rhyme of the Adventures of
"Nliltiades Peterkin Paul very we'll

Robin?'' was sung by Clara Jones in q
voice of peculiar sweetness and pathos.
The Majestic Eminence of Washing

was too heavy an effort for a young
man, bat the little there is in it was
well brought out by the speaker.
Henry Mullendore showed great ability
as speaker, in his recitation of

recited patriotic address to the Amer
lean flag, which was followed by an ap-
propriate song, both we'll done. In

Election and articultion were remarkably
good. The reading of ''Little Golden

The audience were delighted with the
manner in which Jennie Clemens sang

DODGE CITY THE CAPITAL
OLE 4 NEW STATE.

We rise to move a division of the
state of Kansas. We wish to be cut
of from the older portion of the state
and hoe our own row. We deserve and
desire a recognition which we cannot
obtain from the older settled counties
of the eastern portion of the state,
who having all they need in the way of
state institutions, and representatives
in the state legislature are, ungenerous
enough to deny us our share of the for
mar, and selfish enough to refuse US our
share of the latter. Rather than bat
tie as we must, for years to come, for
asylums, prisons, and reform schools;
for an equitable representation in the
legislature and fair division of pollti-
cal loaves and fishes, We would prefer
to be cut off from the remainder of the
state, and beginning anew, build for
ourselves those public institutions
which we so much need. We say, cut
the state in to, at the west line of
Jewell, Mitchell. Lincoln, Ellsworth,
Rice, Reno, Kingman. and Harper
counties. This would leave on the
east state about two hundred miles
square, with population which in 1886
cast over 900 600 votes; and which con
talns all the state institutions needed
for many years to come.

MILLINERY OPENING.

Watching an opportunity when there
were but few ladies present, the TINES
reporter plucked up courage to venture
in at Mrs. Beadle's millinery opening on
Saturday to inspect few of the many
beautiful articles exhibited there. Bon.
nets, hats, flowers. ribons, laces and the
thousand pretty things which a batchel-
or is supposed to know nothing about.
were displayed in bewildering array.
Our necessarily limited knowledge Of
such matters prevents any description of
many of the most beautiful things but
we saw some very attractive novelties in
table linen; some beautiful rustic baskets
which skillful hands had ornamented in
q very attractive manner; an extensive
array of very beautiful dowefs and
feathers, ruchings and laces; children's
hats and caps in great variety; beauti-
full arrangement of velvets, plushes,
ribons and Surah silks of the most lovely
shades; trimmed hats and bonnets which
would make fitting frame for beauti-
full face, and make even plain face At
traefive. There were three very hand

The Result of Debt.

A japanese proverb says that friend
at hand is better than all your relations at
distance, so little money in your pocket
is better than all the credit in the world.
1t is astonishing sometimes how much a
little money will buy, and equally surpris-
ing how quickly bill reaches hundred,
and yet we may have little to show for it.
One purchasing on credit buys rashly and
generously; he does not think of payday,
which seems far of, certain like death, but
as remote and intangible. 1t is so easy to
buy things in this way, one hardly stops to
count the cost by this method it almost
seems as if all the things we covet grew on
trees, and all we had to do was to put out
our hands; we seem to be fed and clothed
as if by miracle, and it is surely a mira

to give another the advantage; we believe
that half the forgeries and embezzlements
in the country are the direct result of
debt. Half the paralysis aud heart disease
which ends mems lives in their heyday
may be traced to the worry consequent
upon debt; worry kills more people than
work, or love, or any disease. 1t writes

WHICH means business. When the horse
hears that he.straightens himself out and
goes for all he is worth. They never go
slowly, but in the most reckless fashion, the
drivers jeering and shouting at each other
as they pass, with good humored banter,
while the pedestrian takes the best care of
himself he can. People seldom cross the
street at walk, unless it is deserted. They
give look in one direction, then in the
other, and gathering their skirts around
them, run for their lives. Vehicles always
have the right of way, and it is popular
tradition that the hospitals are established

who have been run over.

Every form Of address which first occurred
to me seemed bold and inappropriate;

with gazing at her, listening to her voice.
As it was necessary, however, to put an end
to the situation one way or another, and
vainly endeavoring to combat the ascen-
dency of the girls charms, I inquired my
way to the little fishing village of Yang,
which had long intended to visit.
"Ah, you speak Danish" she observed,
with friendly smile, for she had at once
set me down as o foreigner. And then,
with all the charm Of natural affability
which characterizes her compatriots, she
explained that the way led me across the
rocky strand. 1 noted anew in her a pe-
culiarity of the Bornholm folk; avoiding all
use of the expression right or left, they
refer invariably to the points of the COM

me pleasant walk at parting. This meet

Not lovingly caressed and anon tierceiy
buffeted by the waves of the Baltic, between
the coast of Pomerania and Sweden, lies
the Danish island of RQrnholm. It is
little known to the world, and the profu-
sion of wild roses indigenous to the place
has acquired for it the the sobriqqet of the
Isle of Roses
The environs of the little town of Al.
linge, on the northwest, are especially pic
turesque and remarkable for the peculiar
wildness of their formation. We are here,
suddenly and without any prelude, confront
ed with a magnificent natural panorama.
Behind Hs stretches the vast aud
gloomy expanse of the plateau hefnFa rs
chaos of weird forms modelled in solid rock
and the boundless horizon. But even here
the poetry of romance weaves its magic
web, for the venerable ruins of Hammer
SINUS Castle l9qk qqWn upon US from an
eminence, as If inviting the WayfaFer to
rest and dream awhile within its moss
grown walls.
Making Allinge my starting point used
often to visit the old castle. The road at
first lies along the strand, then winding to
the left commences an ascent; after half an
hour spent in scrambling amoag raGks the
ssVale of Paradise" is attained. Through
the heart of the dell encircling the castle
extends promenade whose perfection of
scenery challenges imagination itself. The
path on both sides is boFdered with lilacs
and roses in thick hedges, which gfow to
a sufficient height to form species of
vaulted alley, rich in fragrance, retaining
its grateful shade and coolness during the
prevalence of extreme heat. Birds make
melody in the thicket; insects float upon
the breeze with somnolent susurrus
golden sunbeams, quivering upon the ver-
dant foliage, glide down upon the BIOS
SONS which strew the ground; giant ferns
seem to wave their fans with dreamy
motion.
A few PAGES through this Eden brings
the wanderer before the deep, placid Ian
guor of the ocean. Masses of rock cleft
in rugged wildness form at once small
bay and fitting fame for so glorious pros
pect.
l sought my fayorite haunt one day
when the fierce heat of the suns rays was
untempered by breath of air; but the
rough-hewn bench under the gnarled oak,
whence the view extended to the distant
sea, commanding the course Of passing
ships, was occupied.
A girl busted with needlework was sit
ting there. In my first surprise fancied
that | beheld some apparition or wood
aymph 1t was, however, no unreal mock
cry, for the 6gufe arose to its feet when
my footsteps became audible. Standing
there in all her marvellous beauty, in flood
of sunbeams, she resembled some goddess
of the Northern mythology. The garb of
the country developed freely tho graceful
symmetry of her tall, slender figure, and
lent a peculiar charm to her appearance.
The most striking feature in this vision was,
haBever, the nobly modelled head, the ex-
pressive countenanoe enciFcled by profu-
sion of light, wavy hair, the eyes shaded by
dark lashes, blue and fathomless as the
ocean, their gaze now fiyed upon the in

miles one way by 74O the other; while New
