DOKEYS PARADE
AND CELEBRATE
High Pythians from Three
States Stage Initiation
in Kenosha.
FORTY -FOUR INITIATES

Kenosha was the official rendezvous
of Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois
members of the Dramatic Order of the
Knights of Khorassan on Saturday
evening when forty-four tired tyros
were made full-fledged votaries en-
titled to wear the fez. The rites were
solemnized at the Coliseum, which be-
came temporarily the hot sands across
which the initiates made torturous
but successful journey to the highest
shrine Of Pythianism.
Parade Precedes Initiation.
The ceremonial began with pro-
cessional led by the local police force.
They were followed by Master Ralph
Thomas, pygmy Dokey, in scarlet
satin breeches, snort coat with gold
lace and fez with sllken tassel. He
LED the Dokey Banl, whose scimi-
tars flashed in the sunset, and the
Arab Patrol, turbanned guards of
the happy tyros. The latter marched
with ropes about their neck Indicative
of the slaughter to which they were
being led. One was Gagged. Votaries
from Kenosha and Racine, brilliant in
coats Of crimson and gold brought up
the rear and effectually safeguarded
the escape of their victims.
Martial music was furnished by the
Since band, which played "On Wis
consin", "The Stars and Stripes For
ever, and the marching songs of the
order.
Hundreds of Kenoshans cheered the
visitors and pitied the tyros as the
parade moved along Sheridan Road to
Prairie avenue, east to Park Place,
around the park, up Main street to
Market Square, and thence to the
Coliseum. The X en- 0 h marchers
were. led by John Van Hammer; the
Racine group by John Eager and
Simeon Dutton.
Rites End With Tiger-Feast.
Officials of Alden Temple No. 159,
were in charge of the initiatory serv-
ices at the Coliseum. The ritual was
completely exemplifed for the forty
four tyros who became Dokeys. Short
ly after eleven O'Clock banquet was
served at Castle Hall as preliminary
to the feast for the Tiger which con-
cluded the celebration. This rite, al
ways the climax of Dokey limitations,
continued per announcement, seven
unto the morning"
Tyros Show Courage.
Despite threats of early violence
and death the victims of 4be tiger
feast were surprisingly calm in the
face of disaster. 1t is reported that
they event through the ordeal SPLEEN
didlyo and "never whimpered once"
The Kenosha contingent was headed
by ex-Mayor Dan o. Head. His col
leagues in misery included Richard
Hansen, Henry Vogler, Eric Olsen,
Robert Hughes, Leo Hopper, Hubert
Moody, Paul Frandsen, Robert Boehm,
A. Bandit, l. Fuhrmann, John Watson,
William Tomlinson, H. Larsen, Ben
Cohn, Robert Floro, Hans Hoefer, Joe
Francis, Elmer Knapp, Richard Haul
brich, Jacob Berger, Norman Jensen,
S. D. Stern and Charles Weiner. F. A.
Inenfeldt graced the wild-man's cage
during the death-march that preceded
the initiation and tiger-feast.
Visiting votaries were enthusiastic
about the reception accorded them in
Kenosha They had only the highest
commentator for the local committee
on arrangements and all of the Dokeys
who assisted them in making the
initiatory rites signal success

FAITH HEALERS
FOR KENOSHANS
Disciples Of James Hickson
Will Hold a Mission at
st. Matthews.
REPORT MANY CURES


The Rev. Frederick E. Budlong, D.
D., Of st. Peters Episcopal church,
Chicago, and the Rev. Norman Hutton
of st. Chrysostom's church in the same
city, will hold healing mission at St.
Matthew's church in Kenosha from 10
a. M. until 1880 p. m. on Wednesday,
June 10th, according to announcements
made today by the very Rev. Charles
Everett Mccoy, rector of st. Matthews.
The Chicago divines are said to be
endowed with the same gifts Of heal
ing" which have made James Moore
Hickson of London, England, the most
remarkable faith healer Of the present
generation.
They have already held missions in
Chicago and its environs and are said
to have effected amazing cures. They
have been especially effective in cases
of nervous disorder, muscular affec-
tions, and partial blindness. In spite
of these seeming miracles, they claim
for themselves no supernatural power
other than that described by st. Paul
when he said that to some the Holy
Spirit gave gifts of healing"
The Rev. Mr.. Mccoy Explains.
When interviewed today with regard
to the nature Of the services to be
held in St. Matthews on June 10Th, the
Rev Mr.. Mccoy said "It will merely
be healing mission" When question
| ed further relative to the nature Of
such gathering he added: "a heal
ing-mission is a group of people who
believe in prayer and who gather in
Gods House to ask His help and His
blessing in recovering from their in
,frmities."
Hickson Brought Realization.
/ The Rev. Mr.. Budlong and the Rev.
Mr. Hutton were closely associated
with Mr. Hickson during his perform
ance of works of healing" in Chicago
and surrounding cities. He suggested
to them that they possibly had the
same power and that they should Gull
tivate it. Their missions are the re-
suit Of the great healer's teaching
and practice.
Mr.. Hickson, a layman and not a
preacher, became conscious of his
peculiar power, when he was only
| fourteen years old At that time he
found that he could cure his sisters
headaches by the laying on Of hands
as the Christians cured many mala-
dies in the Apostolic Era. He cop
fided lis secret to his mother who EN-
couraged him to cultivate "the gift
and use it for the benefit Of humanity.
He followed her advice and has given
his life to the ministry of healing.
Wherever he has gone he has signal
I " benefited many sufferers. In st.
Louis five thousand people sought his
blessing at single service Unable
to secure admission to the church,
they knelt in the streets around the
sacred structure. The Chicago minis
ters, who will visit Kenosha, have had
something of the same success.

CHOIRS
SING SPLENDIDLY
United Male Choruses
Please in Concert for
Destitute in Europe.
MISS FALK is FEATURE
(By Wesley Laviolette.l


An audience of large proportions
gathered on Sunday afternoon at the
Coliseum to hear the concert given by
the United Male Choirs Of Kenosha for
the benefit of the destitute war suffer
ers of Europe In addition to the adj
mission an offering was taken and the
combination should have netted a
goodly sum for their cause.
The calibre Of the work done by this
organization was most agreeable sur
prise. 1t should be made into a per-
manent society, the process Of elimina-
ton applied for this concert continued,
and within short time Mannerchor
that would be a source Of pride to the
city could be built up. The men, I'M
der the leadership Of Raymond Flasch,
showed good discipline and zest for
their work which should augur we'll.
The first number on. the program,
"Wer hat dich, du schooner VALID" BY
Mendelssohn, was well done, though it
suffered considerably from sagging in
pitch. Perhaps if a more brilliant
number had been chosen to open the
program with an opportunity would
have been offered for the men to warm
up vocally before venturing into the
finer shadings required by this mum
Der.
Silcher's "Loreley" was given with a
swinging rhythmic pianissimo and neat,
clean, phrasing that made it most at
tractive. The tonal quality of the
chorus at all times leaves much to be
desired, but their control Of dynamics
and shadings is most effective. =
All the numbers offered by the Choir
us were given in the German language.
| know there were many there who did
not understand a word Of what the
chorus was singing about. Out of con-
sideration for them, at least one group
in American would have been most
gratefully received If this organiza-
tion is to serve any larger sphere than
within the present circles some such
policy must be adopted Our interest
is first in things American, and which
we can most easily comprehend, and
after that only can it give any atten-
tion to things foreign.
The group of songs in English offer
ed by Miss Edna Falk were most hap
PLY received by tired ears and mind:
one forgets other languages so easily
after they drop into comparative dis
use for time. Her diction was adj
mirable, for one could understand ev-
cry word she sang in the farthest cor
ner of the hall. would not vouch for
the middle of the hall, the acoustics
there being 50 .treacherous or not at
all. Gifted with a lovely natural or
gan of warmth and richness. Miss Falk
made the splendid impression she has
in all her appearances here among her
many friends. Miss Irene McClay pro-
vided splendid accompaniments.
Miss Lolita Chatroop. a mezzo-sopra-
no from Chicago. sang "Elsa's Dream
from Wapner's 'Iohengrinv She uses
an excessive vibrato, and sings with
considerable effort The young lady
was warmly applauded and responded
with an encore in which she revealed
warmer and more sympathetic tone.

gentle folk" She does it merely "by

the play is admirably supplemented by
