REPENTING BIER SIN.
Lille Lester, an Abandoned Young wcmar,
Attempted Suic de Lest Night.

Lille Lester was the only person last
night. SO far as heard from, who desired
to finish up her Thanksgiving day in
mansions in the skies.
Asa general thing Thanksgiving day is
very fruitful of suicides, but this one Is
an exception in Wichita. There were two
of them last year and one murder. Re
morse of conscience is the cause Of
Thanksgiving suicides and nine out OF
every ten Of them are committed by I'M
fortunate girls who are amateurs in sin.
The memories clustered around the day
make them respondent and relief
is sought in the morphine bottle.
Lille is a fair looking girl who
came over from Fort Scott last Friday
and who has since been living in notori-
Gus dive on Fourth avenue. She arrived
here without money and was bu. poorly
clad. She is young. and her manner in
dicates that she has not been an abandoned
woman very long. She went 10 her room
last night about $50, and st 10 her heavy
breathing attracted the attention OF the
keeper OF the house, who went there and
found her under the influence OF NOR
phine. Dr.. McCless was summoned a,
once. and after patiently working with her
for half an hour, succeeded in dragging her
back from the grave, as it were. She gave
no cause for her attempted selt-destruc-
ton. excep. to say that she was anxious to
Gle when she took the poison. But she
changed her mind when the doctor re-
stored her to consciousness, and now she
seems equally anxious TO live 70 be her
three score and ten.

DANCED AND MADE MERRY.
Gay Knights and Fair Women Dance 20 the Gar
ID Hail.

Brilliant, indeed, was the ball given last
night at the Garfield hall under the
auspices of the knights Of Pytnias, the
same being the first of series of social
dances planned by the Chivalric Knights
for the season.
1t was full dress affair in every sense
of the word The knights appeared in The
full uniform of their order. The gilt but
tons shoue replendently while tins tim
selated ornamentation dazzled the eye.
Nearly every Pythian knight is hand
some in any costume but when they are
assembled together in full uniform tue
scene looks as if it hight be family re-
union of the defendants OF Apollo. The
ladies were equally handsome. They TOO
were dressed according TO the mode and
many of them wore garments that were
gorgeous. They wore white. blue. green,
lavender and pink and the various colors
contrasted so handsomely il the whirls OF
the waltz that the scene presented was
pronounced enchanting by Charlie
Fechheimer, John Arbogast, Clifton Saw
yer and other young gentlemen whose
taste for colors is aesthetic.
The color of the order, blue, red and
yellow, were seen everywhere and adorned
the halls from the stage to the gallery,
while the handsome silk flag of the regl-
ment hung from the chandelier. The
stage was fairly loaded down with beauti-
full plants, while banks of flowers were
hastily arranged in other portions of the
room. Shaw's orchestra furnished the
music and it is unnecessary to say that ii
was up to the standard. Professor Bsal
was floor director and hence the affair was
admirably managed. Tue grand march
was beautiful and the new evolutions
were made with such precision aud taste
as to call forth the admiration OF the
spectators of whom there was large
number.
The social cream of the city attended
| and the affair may well be ranked among
the great social events of the city tor th'
| season.
The chivalric knights made everything
pleasing for their guests and everybody
Was thankful for having the pleasure anC
| good fortune of participating in such
| happy event.

The Salvation Army concluded their
three days of special work last night by a
splendid demonstration OF music AID song
and talk at the Y. H. C. A. building. The
auditorium WAS fairly we'll filed, notwith-
standing the cold wave that came down
upon US.
AT O'Clock yesterday afternoon their
banquet took place in their hall on North
Main street, and very large crowd was
present to partake Of the good things pro-
vided by the brothers and sisters and their
friends. All the choice viands appropriate
to Banquet were on the tables, and the
Joyous hospitality that WAS manifested
was charming to an outsider. Short adj
dresses We're made, and happiness and
good cheer ruled the hour.
Major Sulls was well pleased with the
condition he found the army in here, and
spoke highly of its future prospects. This
city will probably b. made corps head
quarters. in whicn event property will be
purchased and Improvements of a perma-
nent character made, and. OF course, Off
GERS of higher RANK stationed here.

THANKSGIVING was observed By the
toughs as well as everybody else, to the
extent that they made no trouble for the
police. Everybody was exceedingly quiet,
during the d.y, but last night two men
were run in for drunkenness and disturb
ing the peace.
Flatty Ingram was one OF the men and
he is as much at home In the bastils as
anywhere, for he is there most OK his time.
Fatty drank too much eggnog yesterday
and was hilariously drunk. so he was put
to bed TO sober up IL tina 10 pay

The other was a well-known young bus

morning that he had been more pru.

dies of Wichita that we still have few pat

are worth from $2.e5 to $500 per yard but

might be unworthy Of their kindness.
The time was passed In friendly converse
ton, few songs were sung, and Thanks
ing Day for 1898 had passed. Last night
when the fresh fish" came in the boys
seemed anxious to know what had trans
pired on the outside. but the newcomers
could describe nothing outside of the little
ten by twelve joints where they lad got
drunk, and where they seemed to have left
their senses.
