The Democratic ghost dance in the Legis-
lature yet continues. Or is it vaudeville?
The exercises are so varied that any appel
lstion ia hardly fitting. Fist there is a
song and dance around the painted totem
pole, then the beautiful and touching hymn,
"Who will care for mother now" Is recited,
then "Arise ye freemen" is rendered with
double base obligato, then the thrilling
moral drama, Ten Bar Rooms in One
Night, and What Saw There" is rendered
to slow fddling and pale pink calcium eff
fects, followed by "Come one, come all,
this rock shall fly from its firm base as soon
as L" recited in character, and the act
closes with "If your waking, call me
early" in white shoes and pink sash and
bouquet.

been so numerous and varied that it was
impossible to answer them individually
Because Of that fact the lieutenants Of the
various precincts were instructed to con-
vey all possible information to those seek
ing it, Even that course was not satisfac-
tory and today Major Sylvester promulga. %
ed a general order by bulletin TO each
member Of the police force so that the
channels of information would be made ade-
quate to meet the demand. The general
order as issued is published for the benefit
