Overdose of Opiate for |nsom-
MIA Causes Death.

Edward CRAZY, aged c. years, a we'll
time resident of Wichita, died at his
home 229 South Lawrence avenue, yes
terday morning at 10 O'Clock. His death
was presumably caused by an overdose
of an opiate taken TO relieve insomnia.
Mr.. Grady had been suffering from in
somnia for the past two months. and
when he returned from a trip on the
road THURSDAY, his physician prescribed
an opiate for him which, it is said, failed
to have the desired effect According TO
Mrs. Grady, he arose about l O'Clock yes
terday morning and took a dose of some
thing that he had purchased on one Of
his trips. About O'Clock the family no
ticed that his condition was alarming.
and DR.. c. E McAdams and DR.. J. ID.
Clark We're summoned. The two physi-
clans worked with their patient until
about $50 o'clock, but nothing could be
done. as the case resisted their efforts
and the patient gradually sank until 10
O'Clock, when death came.
DR.. McAdams said that he could not
state positively what kind of an opiate
caused Mr.. Grady's death, but it was
evident that death resulted from that
cause.
Mr.. Grady was well known in Wichita
having resided here for the past twenty-
five years. He was a travelling sales
man for a wholesale lumber camr:.ny.
and had been in the lumber business for
a great many years. Before moving 10
Wichita, Mr. Grady resided in Arkansas
City. where he was interested in the lum-
Der business
He leaves a widow, two sons and a
daughter One of the sons, Chester, and
the mother were present at the bedside
daughter, who reside out OF the city, will
arrive sometime today to attend the
funeral.
Mr.. Grady was a member of the Ma
sonic Blue lodge. the Odd Fellows and the
A. o. L. w, and highly respected among
the respective members of these organi-
cations.
The funeral services will be held from
the First NJ. E. church Monday after

served. Musical instruments OF shir.
abyoshi in singing were Koto and
Tsuzumi, which were used by mobiles
only. Geishas use Teuzumi and Sa-
misen. which are used by a kind of
beggars at present, regarded humble.
Shirabyoshi was dressed like a
princess or a noble. A Geisha's dress
is different in its form, especially in
its color, from that of a lady, and If
a lady puts on such a dress she will
be thrown out from her society and
sneered at as a Geisha.
Geishas, in their present condition,
should be called a toy of a wealthy,
dissolute people. They are employed
by such kind of man only, just as a
wealthy European plays cards. They
form a society by themselves, but
never permitted to enter into that Of
ladies. They are also rejected to ap-
pear before a gentleman or a lady.
There are many thousands Of Geishas
scattered in all cities.
Now, it is a great phenomenon that
they are steadily decreasing in mum.
Der. Social reformers are eager to
prohibit their existence by law, but
Japan is too busy to pay attention to
them.
Almost all foreigners had mixed up
a Geisha and a Japanese lady. In
fact, it is not easy to distinguish
them, as Japanese ladies seldom
come out from their gates. They Oft
en- introduce to their people a Geisha
as a type of japanese woman.

searched for their enioyments, and
the shirabyoshi became one of their
sacrifices. Demand for them was so
great and because of difficulties of
their arts compelled them to take in
uneducated, low character, and salts
fed by the beautifulness of faces only.
Hithertofore they were selected from
Samurai families, but at this time
many of them were picked out from
Chonins, who were the lowest class
and utterly ignorant. A few years
ago, it was the climax of the Geisha.
Now, the Geisha's professions are
to dance and sing. They are selected
from poor families who cannot sup
port themselves without getting some
money by sacrificing their daughters,

Though exceedingly young, he is
intensely patriotic, and has spent

that there is an impression

country, the tendency being to con-
