RECITAL GIVEN LAST NIGHT
at Wichita school of Music and
Art


Art.
Last night the pupils OF the Wichita
branch Of the Kelso School of Musical and
Dramatic Art gave piano recital to an
interested audience at the rooms of the
school, in the Sedgwick block. The pro-
gram was replete with good things. A
feature Of the evening was the piano solo
bv little Miss Cooper Gillespie, who rem
dared the "scherzo E Minor" and the
Little Wanderer," by Gurlitt, in manner
that would do credit to more finished
pupil. She has taken only twenty-six haIt-
hour lessons and her success is the re-
suit of a faithful attendance at all les
sons and a Conscientious system Of prac-
tiee
The solos were all rendered from memory
and were exceptionally pleasing, both as
to selection and execution.
The recitation by Miss Mollie Warren
was also greatly appreciated.
Such splendid work on the part of the
pupils reflected great credit upon Mrs. D.
Hayes, to whose efforts the entertainment
was due The following program was rem
dered:
"Danse Macabre" (two pisnos) Saint saens
Miss Gertrude Frohman, Mrs. Fred

very successful New York success, at the
Crawford Grand next week, of MIR. Will
lam Morris and a powerful cast in Edward
Roses dramatization of Under the Req
Robe" Mr.. Rose also adapted the PRS
oner of Zenda,'' but II is claimed, and
justly so, that the former drama Is MS
best work. William Morris, who IS TO ap-
pear as Gil de Berault in Under the Red
Robe" is a romantic actor of the robust
school and the company in support Is one
of the largest and positively the best that
was ever sent out OF New York the
drama was originally produced by Manager
Charles Frohman at the Empire theater'
New York, and it is to be presented mere
with all the original scenery and effects
employed during that famous run MT.
julius Calm, the manager, has spared no
expense in bringing this attraction to the
very high standard attained by all or

Justice to Schley.

The United States Senate upset
the conspiracy, Matched in the Navy
Department, to deprive the gallant
Schley of all credit for the naval
victory at Santiago and give 1t to
Sampson, who was ten miles away
when the battle was fought. An
effort was made by the friends Of
Sampson to have him advanced and
retain Schley on the list of cap
tains, but the whole country pro-
tested with so much vigor against
such an outrage that President
Mckinley was forced by fear of the
consequences to call halt, and the
contemplate scheme was aban-
doned. The Senate q short time
ago took a hand IN the Schley-
Sampson controversy and settled
it by promoting each to the rank
of Rear Admiral, with Schley two
numbers in advance of Sampson,
making Schley the senior officer OF
the two as he was before the Navy
Department jumped Sampson over
his head and placed the former in
command Of the North Atlantic
squadron. The action Of the Sen
ate in giving seniority to Schley
was prompted by a sense of justice
aud it will be applauded by tn
country.-Daily States.
