THE END OF COMMENCEMENT,
The Prot athedral schaols sixth Annual Com

The sixth annual commencement exer-

held at the Crawford Grand oIera house
Wednesday evening next at S O'Clock. 1t
was first arranged for to have the exercises
at the school hall. but it was soon ascer-
tanned that the patrons and friends of the
school were too many 30 be Accommodated
at that place, hence the change.
In connection with the commencement
exercises very pretty operetta, entitled
the Tyrolien Queen will be given by the
pupils
The program arranged for the occasion
is exceedingly interesting and there is n o
doubt but what the crowd in at
tendance will he very large as
this will be the last commencement eX-
ercises of the season. The music will be
first-class and the singing beautiful. Miss
Mae Fitzpatrick will lend her exceptional
elocutionary powers to making the exer-
cises grand success. Misses Daisy Lynch
and Josie Getto viii play 'Marche
Trumphali" on two pianos, and this alone
will be well worth attending. The highest
honors in the academic course will be con-
ferred on Misses Daisy Lynch and Mae
Fitzpatrick and the highest honors of the
common course will be conferred on James
Comfy, Francis Dugan and Thomas SulIi-
van. l, is hoped that the teachers as we'll
as the pupils will be encouraged by large
attendance. Those who have procured
tickets already can have seats reserved for
them by calling at the opera house or
RIGHTS drug store, and those who have
not yet secured tickets can procure them
aU the same places tomorrow.

ANOTHER CYCLONE.

The only disturbance that broke the
nonotony of the dull time AZ police head
quarters last night WAS the arrest by
Officer Fox OF the gentle. lamb-like ''Cy-
clone She was brought in at 1850 on a
charge of drunkenness. But it was a base
Islander. The odor of her breath land you
could smell it across the ROOM proved it
a SANDER. Another charge was disturb
ance. This was also false. You couldn't
possibly hear her yell more than six
blocks. Oh, but she was howling drunk.
Her terrific screams aroused the prison
ers from their peaceful SUM bers. and they
appealed TO her in various tones OF voices
TO be quiet. Their remonstrances only
served TO make her more demons;rative
Her screachings drove the rats and
reaches up stairs where they could ply
their vacations uninterrupted by the hor-
rible yells and blasphemous utterances OF
this female inebriate. The night clerk
shut all the doors and went into the tower
to escape the terrors OF the woe brought TO
the bastlle by :his poor creature, the re-
suit of her nights 6ebauch.

ODDS AND ENDS.

The crowd on the streets between Sand
IL O'Clock last night was larger than any
Saturday night.within the past year
The asphalt pavement was so soft from
the heat yesterday that people left their
footprints in it. This is said to be the
best test Of the value Of pavement.
The accident which occurred in the Lit
tie river Friday afternoon in which Ed
Crawford lost his life, ought to arouse the
people 10 the importance of prohibiting
their children from going swimming, in
deep water at least.
Hon. Jesse Taylor of Garden City was in
town yesterday and stated that there is
not drop of water in the Arkansas river
west of Dodge City.
One Wichita man recently went to Chi
cage, reaching there in the night, aud
asked the way to hotel. On being di-
rected to one be registered and was given
a cot. The next morning he discovered he
had slept in the morgue. Pretty good ex
ample OF Chicago enterprise.
The Western Base Ball league which
Wichita was asked to enter is already a
thing of the past. IL quietly disbanded
last week from lack of ginger.

Horses are trotting fast everywhere. Over
sixty have entered the 30 list at this early
