The Rockland Opinion says that Mr.. Palmer
editor of the Boston Globe, ''is the only news

hold Of the printed official list of pensioners for
New England" Not much. The journal has
the list in question, and this week contains
the list of pensioners in Waldo county. The
Opinion says that it has found errors in the
list but has not undertaken TO correct them.
That is our experience and the course we have
pursued, except where names were simply mis-
spelled. There are several instances where the
pensioner is dead, but we presume the pension
bureau had not received notification at the time
the list was prepared. The object in publish
ing the names of pensioners was to aid in the
detection of cases of fraud, but the claim agents
are turning it to their advantage by sending
out circulars promising increase of PENSIONS
etc. Pensioners should pay no heed to these
sharks, whose only object is to extort money.

Miss Astor as a Ballet Dancer.
,From New York Lct.er.l


Miss Carrie Astor, daughter of Will
liam B. Astor, heiress expectant to mil
lions upon millions, pet IN our most ex-
quisite society, has become a ballet
dancer. Her debut was in the presence
Of a iammed crowd of eager spectators.
The dance was Dutch reel, elaborated
by new and picturesque movements.
Miss Astor wore correct Dutch peasant
costume, consisting of red merino skirt
and white muslin waist; her hair was
braided behind and banded with an or-
namentnl gold device, while her cap,
modelled after those worn by the girls of
the province OF Eriesland, was prettily
coquettish. She had heavy gold brace
lets, a gold linked chain necklace, dia-
mond brooch and diamond earrings.
She danced gracefully to the music of
zithers, and was applauded with i'm
mense enthusiasm. No performance by
theexpert Cavallazzi, the ballet premiere
Of the grand opera at the Academy of
Music, ever gained half the appreciation.
OF course Miss Astor didn't do this on
the stage, though it was part of a show
at which 81 admission fee was charged.
This happened at the Kirmess, or Dutch
festival, given for charitable object.
