good gossip in the New York Star eaps
attention to the fact that society is TO trr
something new in dancing this ,easo.
Two novelties ire round dances. The f,st
is called the gavotte. 1t may be obiectel
that the old, original gavotte is NOT .
round dance; but what's in a nalne9 W.
have often wondered why thetantiquated
but graceful gavotte was not revived
Those who saw Miss Ellen Terry dance i
agrees that it vas the poetry OF motion
But Prof. Brooks, oil pittsburgh, has taken
the gavotte time and style and adaptod
them to a waltz which is said to be yerv
elegant and refined. AS a contrast to tbe
slow movement OF the gavotte another
professor has invented the Columbia
which is a bright, quick, lively
measure, with a hop and slip cal
culated to crafty the most %energetic
walters and a general dash and get there
characteristic worthy of the land of the
free, after which the new dance is christ.
ened. The third novelty is called the octa.
gon, because it is formed by eight couples.
1t is to be marched rather than danced, to
the lancers tunes. All the couples move at
the same time aud upon diagonal lines. A
bit OF theatrical effect for the finale is a t..
ure in which the dancers pass under an
arch formed by the arms of the other cou.
pies. The octagon is intended to s%upersede
not only the very old-fashioned quadrilles,
but the mediocre lanciers.

THE MOsLEM,s CHORUS,
A Strange Religious Rite Becomes Like
. Contagious De1ftiuta,

A Strange Religious Rite Becomes Like
Contagious De1iriufn.
In Suakin / heard the Moslems at their
pious exercise, and the horror OF it was
unforgetable. On several occasions, when
the round reached me from afar | thought
it came from one of the condensing steam
ers, and so probably to the last did the
great majority OF strangers. But one mid
night l was making my way back from a
friends quarters to my own, when l heard
the spectral sound coming from a direction
opposite to the ships. Istood and listened,
and then determined to follow it up. So
IN and out, up and down the narrow, dark
alleys of the native town, l wandered in
chase OF this ventriloqualuproar. Passing
along between two high mud walls, l Stun
bled over q man who was c%rouching on the
ground, and at the. same moment a door
opened, and the whole volume of a pro-
digiOus bark issued therefrom.
Out of the door came q negro, Keeling as
if drunk, and fell in a heap by the side OF
the a l had stumbled over. And then
| saw there were several others sitting hud-
died up along the bottom OF the wall,
grooming from time to time, ard gasping in
a most frightful manner. As the door re-
NAMED ajar, l peeped in, and the spectacle
presented was SO extraordinary hat be
ventured to push it wider. and step inside
into the large courtyard into which is
opened. No one noticed me, for everyont
was %engrossed, as if bewitched, in the re-
Iigious function that was proceeding. In
the center stood a dervish, with a book,
from which he was chanting. On either
side, with torches in their hands that flick
orol q md An,fffnroG no rr,.o111 %~-oL~o -...-
did before, stood two alcolyte-like youths,
who yelled a sort of accompaniment to the
dervish's chant.
Arranged in a great semicircle before
those officiating personages was a ring of
forty men, negroes and Arabs, some bare
headed and nearly naked, others in the
complete costume OF the well.to.do. They
were holding each others hands, and,
whenever the dervish came to a pause, the
company suddenly raised their
Joined hands and az suddenly brought them
down again. As they descended every man
gave a deep, ventral though" The time
they kept was SO exact that the forty
barked like one On a. sudden the dervish
the acolytes yelled afresh, and
then the company OF devotees pumping
bodies proceeded to a fearful competition
Ut lungs. Still keeping in perfect unison, /
barkings grew faster and faster still,
until M by ene the huge, bony, great
boned Africans reeled and staggered out
Of the ring, leaned against the walls or
'ell exhausted, gasping and grooming, like 1
OF rags, upon the ground.
The contagious delirium of this amazing |
orgie was something dreadful to behold.
4 few still held out, but faint and muffied
n voice, and the torches flashed and splut-
cred, showing the faint men lying all round
he court, tossing their arms about and
aving, until it seemed the devils had been

Beattie's Condition.

NEW YORK, November 2.-Surveyor Beat
tle,sbot by a discharged customs inspector
yesterday, is much improved this morning.
His physician's reports upon his condition
are most encouraging. The ball which
lodged in the muscles of the left side has
not as yet been probed for or even located
but as the patient had no internal hemor-
rage, it is believed the ball didn't touch a
vital part. Under the influence of NOR
phinc the surveyor passed a comfortable
night.

Emblems of the Thousand Islands.

Nearly every island has it's distinguishing
emblem or device formed of lanterns. On
one it is a crown, on another it is an an
Choir or a harp or a cross, and many adopt
the initial letter Of the Islands aame for
this purpose. As the steamer approaches
at night hundreds CT torches and lanterns
on the hotels in the hotel grounds and
along the river front are lighted as if by a
pr%econcerted signal. Then eager expectancy
marks each face in the now largely aug
mented crowd of sight-seers; and when at
last the hoarse shrek of the steamers
whistle is heard some distance up the river
every ear is turned to catch the sound of
the booming OF her paddles as she comes
round q bend in the stream. This is the
long-awaited signal, and instantly, as if by
some mag: touch, red fires are kindled
upon the islands and in front of the hotels.
The steamer'swhistle is sounded again, and
the hills take up the sound and toss it
back and forth until it dies from sheer ex-
haustiop. The sky assumes a roseate hue,
and from scores of islands rockets are sent
up.-Thousand Islands Cor. New York

CHICAGO, November Up to 6 p. m
practically no returns had been received
from to-days election, and even those who
had spent the day at the polls in the utter
este OF the various candidates were unable
to state the drift which the vote hat
taken, except to Say that the Labor party
had displayed an unexpected strength. /,
is considered certain that this party hal
carried the 18th ward, and it is possible
that their success may have been as great
in other parts of the city.
The 9th ward, where Davis, Republican
candidate for County Treasurer, was ex
pected to get a great many Democratic
votes. it is said to be in a very mixed con
dition, the only thing that stands out
clear being the fact that the Democratic
candidate for Congress, Frank Lawton
has carried the ward for himself. Reports
we're from 10 precincts Of the 9Th ward

Dor party polled 1,O35; Democrats, $40;
