A GHOST DANCE.
The indian Craze Breaks Out in
Hopkinsville.

The Indian Craze Breaks Out in
Hopkinsyille.
EDiroR KENTucKrAS:
II is not generally known that there
are many people about Hopkinsville
with Indian blood OF other blood just
"a red in their veins. The report OF
tho ghost dances among the Sioux
has caused tho same craze to break
out here and genuine ghost daDce
was held at the Opera House Tues
day night. To keep it from being
broken up by Co. d, it was given for
the pretended benefit OF the Little
Brothers OF the Poor.
1t proved to be IN immense success.
Charlie Thompson was the chief ghost
aud led tho dancers. He was attired
in a black shroud and domino.
Jols-Pye assisted Mr.. Thomps IN
very materially in his role OF Mephis-
, topheles. Mr.. Pye wore night shirt
over his elegant broad-cloth suit, to
tho roar OF which was attached very
attractive hustle,
Colonel Day danced very gracefully
and was the center Of attraction OF the
entire audience, frequently being in
terrupted by storms Of applause.
When Gus Young and Tom Haeg-
erty appeared on the stage to dance a
double clog "Ghost Dance" the vast
audience fairly went wild with OK
citement and both the talented per
formers had to respond to numerous
encores.
Messrs. E. W. Henderson, Geo. II.
johnson, Alex. Overshiner and d. j.
Hooser sang beautiful quartet en-
titled "The Fairy Dell" then Dan
Merritt, j. o. Cooper, Robt.Guynn, Jno'
Green and viii Cooper danced the
Spanish Bolero to the great delight
and entertainment of the audience.
John Young, j. q. Hord, Il. V,
Campbell, l.. IL. Mckee and A. q,
Bush sang the Sweet Bye and Bye"
after which the entire lot of perform
ers appeared on the stage and in
dulged in what is known as the
"Frenzy Dance Mr.. Hooser taking
tho lead in this instance.
Just at this juncture Dick Holland
put in an appearance attired in a
beautiful white shroud with point
lace trimmings. fThc audience fairly
boiled over with enthusiasm; such a
graceful and beautiful creature had
never before been seen. on any stage
in Hopkinsville aud Mr.. Hollands s
anpearancc therefore on his OWN stage
created quite sensation. Mr.. Hol-
lands Miiiskers have sprouted out
beautifully OF late and the ladies
arc nil in rapturos over them.
Mr.. Holland has declined at least
four proposals Of marriage to that
many eligible and estimable ladies',
from the fact that he is very busy in
conducting his big Opera House and
running tho politics OF the Second
ward. He says he has two or tlret
of the proposals now under considera
tion and may take some definite ac
tion upon them during the coming
winter if he can possibly find time tt
do so. :,
Red Ere was burned and the grea
"Hopkinsville Ghost Dance" wa
brought to climax amid thunders Q
applause, net receipts over $500. l
Il said that It will be repeated q
Christmas day for the benefit OF tn
l.. g. N. railroad.
