WICHITA VIEW OF THE STAGE.

1t is probably brazen for a dramatic
criticism of any kind to come from a
town which has for years been starving
on meagre theatrical circuit as Wichi-
ia has.
But there is great consolation.
Wichita Is not losing much. If the
stage was ever in bad way it is today.

collar of Honor for Noble Dogs.

In France there exists an order of
merit, founded by the society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of
which the members are dogs who have
distinguished themselves by deeds of
bravery. A tastefully designed ''col-
lar of honor is awarded to the NOM
inees of the order. Among the ami
mails already decorated in this way
one of the most celebrated is Bacchus,
a large bulldog, whose speciality it is to
stop runaway horses by jumping up
and seizing them by the bride. 1t is
calculated that the intelligent beast
has already saved the lives of eight
persons, if not more, in this way. Pa
taud, another bulldog, received col
lar in 1887 for saving his mistress. from
the attack of a footpad, and Turk, a
splendid Newfoundland, has had a
similar honor for saving three young
children from drowning on different
occasions

They Are Situated Many Miles Distant
from Honolulu
The group lies in a chain distant
from Oahu seven hundred to twelve
hundred miles. west bV northwest.
There are several records of its discoy-
cry. Ocean island was quite well
known as early as 1880. In that year
the English vessel Gledstanes was
wrecked on its shores In 1870 the
United States cruiser Saginaw was
lost in these waters She had gone
down there to dredge a channel and
provide station for old side-wheelers
then setting out as Pacific mail liners.
The only losses of life were from
way for assistance, was lost just off
Kauai. But one of the crew was
saved He brought the news to Homo
lulu. In few hours Capt King, now
minister of interior, was off aboard
schooner carrying a relief expedition.
Next day, at the request of the Ameri-
can minister. an island steamer was
sent after the schooner. Long was
master of the steamer, and Capt. Rice,
now of the tug Eleu, was mate. They
beat Capt. King only twenty hours to
Ocean island. The Americans were
gone. They had been picked up by a
sailing vessel. An inquiry that stirred
naval cicles followed the loss of the
Saginaw, and Honolulu was made the
port of call for the Pacific mail. Of
the three side-wheel liners, one was
burned at sea, one at Hong Kong, and
the third lost off Panama.
Years ago two whalers went ashore
in one night on Pearl and Hernes
reef. The vessels were lost entirely
and several men drowned. In 1885,
the English craft Dunnater Castle,
coal laden from Newcastle, was
wrecked on an Ocean island reef. A
small boat sent for help found its way
here. The Waialeale, Hale, master,
was dispatched to the rescue and
brought all hands to Honolulu. The
crew of the Saginaw first found water
on Ocean island.
At one time the carrying of guano
and phosphates to the United States
from the midway group promised to
become great business. The discov-
cry of phosphates in Florida and other
states along the Atlantic coast had a
depressing effect on the fertilizer traf-
fic in the United States.

Moorish Women Sometimes Let Tiles

Writing about Moorish women, Rich
ard Harding Davis says: There is
something continually interesting in
the mufiied figures of the women.
They make you almost ashamed of the
uncovered faces of the American wom-
en- in the town, and. in the lack of any
evidence to the contrary, you begin to
believe every Moorish girl you meet is
as beautiful as her eyes would make it
appear that she is.
s.Thosc of the girls whose faces / saw
were distinctly handsome; they were
the women Benjamin Constant paints
in his pictures of Algiers, and about
whom Pierre Lott goes into ecstasies
in his book on Tangiers-
The robe or cloak, or whatever the
thing is they affect covers the head
like hood, and with one hand they
hold one of the folds in front of the
face as high as their eyes. The only
times ever saw the faces of any of
them were when occasionally eluded
Mohamed and ran off with a little
guide called Isaac, the especial pro-
tector of two American women, who
farmed him out to me when they pre-
ferred to stay in the hotel.
'.He is a particularly beautiful youth,
and 1 noticed that whenever he was
with me the cloaks of the women
had fashion of coming undone, and
they would lower them for an instant
and look at Isaac, and then replace
them severely upon the bridge of the
nose. Then Isaac would turn toward
me with a shy, conscious smile, and
then blush violently. Isaac SAYS the

her feet. It is true that their feet are
bare, but it struck me as a somewhat
reckless test for. selecting bride"
