the dance, MY Prairie Wild Flower
Sioux" the words of which are given
below:
Sioux-oo a flower of the prairie land
an Indian maiden grand
Once lost her heart and hand
Big Chief LIE didn't like her sutton bold
Was very cross and cold
And soon the maiden then he told
Sioux-oo she loved a heap, her Indian
boy
The big chief she'd annoy.
Although her hearts own joy
But he wouldn't let him come about
the wigwam night or day.
When he'd drive him away,
Her Indian boy would say:
Chorus
Sioux o-Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I'll be true-Oo-oo-oo
Meet me by yon stream
Like the laughing waters
Well be laughing courters
While the pale moon CLEANS
Sioux oo-oo-oo in my bark
canOe-oo-oo-oo
Drifting just we two
Down life'S stream along
Soon a wigWam We will own
My prairie wild-floWer Sioux
Sioux-oo-She drifted for a year or two
In this same bark canoe
And she was happy too
Big Chief he put a noted Indian pack
of Redskins on her track
And soon they quickly brought her
back
Sioux-oo she started for to cry and boo
But nothing she could do
Would bring her boy back too
But on one night
When the moon was shining bright
All was still this sound came DER the
hill
AS tho a Whip-poor- will

"A Midsummer Nights Dream.

The appearance together in this Sec
ton of the country of the famous
Russian Symphony orchestra of New
York and the well known Ben Greet
players in Shakespeare's plays, to-
gether with the incidental music by
the great composers, serves to call at
tention to the remarkable rise in pop
ularity of large orchestras at the
present time Great orchestras were
never so prominent in the public eye
as now, and the orchestral features
Of grand opera companies were never
so emphasized as at the present mo-
ment. Take for instance New York
city, where there are at least three
regular organizations in addition to
visits every month by the Boston Sym
phOny.
At the Metropolitan 10 men are
gathered to add to the triumphs of
that institution, and in Oscar Ham
merstein's Manhattan Opera house.
the greater share of the success of
his daring operate venture has been
due, SO it is generally conceded to the
magnificent orchestra there, and the
world famed director, Campanini.
What Mr.. Hammerstein would have
done without this remarkable man is
hard to tell.
In the modern French operas such
as Louise" That's and "Pellias and
Melisande,' as we'll as in Richard
Straus' now world famed "Salome,"
there is no question but what the or
chestral work and startling effects are
the most prominent, if not the princi-
pal features of these operas. For
these reasons, therefore, the combi-
nation of a full symphony orchestra,
and complete long established dra-
matte company, marks a new era in
entertainments, and the local appear
ance of such combination promises
to be one of the most important events
of this or any other season in the
dramatic history of the Keylor Grand
theatre, where they will be heard on
Thursday evening, May 81.

U. S. SENATOR SLABS NEGRO
Stone Of Missouri Taken to Police
Station at Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md.-United States Sena-
tor William j. Stone, Of Missouri, was
arrested here Tuesday for having slapped
the face Of Lawrence j. Brown, a colored
waiter on a Pullman car on the Penn
sylyania Railroad, shortly after the train
reached Wilmington. Del, on its way
to Washington.
Senator Stone, who at one time was
governor Of Missouri, requested Brown
TO serve him with some food, and the
negro kept him waiting twenty minutes
after others on the car had been served.
This prompted the senator to rsmon-
strate with the negro, whereupon the lat
ter became surly and impudent. The
senator says he tried TO ignore the wait
er's remarks, but the latter became so
offensive that he slapped him across
the face.
The conductor Of the train appeared on
the scene about that time, preventing
any further disorder, and when the train
reached this city Senator Stone was
turned over to special officer.
