Three new dances will come into use
among fashionable people this winter.
One of these is the slide mazourka
which is q partial revival of an old
round dance, combining the polka and
the waltz. In its new form it has more
of a waltz movement than before. The
general effect is graceful, and the long
sliding step is slightly, unless practised
too carelessly on an overpolished floor.
The other new round dance is called
the Berlin, and is very ingenious, since
its slow, graceful polka time can be
used at will for galop, waltz or schot-
tische. Many couples are either un-
able or unwilling to accomplish polka
and to them the Berlin will be welcome
while it will also be enjoyed by those
who like polka. The other novelty is
the Diamond lancers. the figures of
which are more intricate and fanciful
than any of the snowy quadriles yet
introduced.

Ter as I have often asked myself: d
not, what land could Capt. Wheaton
have reached in SO short a time? He
knew every foot of his island and
drew a map of it. No other island
would answer the description. He
built a boat and we found it. He
built q raft and it bore him into the
tracks ofships. He found gold and
he found and saved papers and relics
which settled the fate OF two missing
vessels That island was born in
ten seconds. when the bottom OF the
sea upheaYed. Why should it not
have been destroyed just as quickly?
1t is not the only one which has come
and gone, and the fact gifts remain
ing until covered with timber and
vegetation was no guarantee that il
would always remain. That's my
story, gentlemen, and if you are IN
satisfied you are no worse off than
your humble servant who lost all in
the venture.

A Queer Check.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star
The following is a true copy of a
check drawn on a West Washington
bank sixty-four years ago, and shows
how banking business was conducted
in those days. The check was drawn
by a citizen to pay the Judgment in
favor of a man whom he had COW
hided:
s264.37.l GEORGETOWN, June Is, 1924.
Cashier of the Union Bank OF
Georgetown pay the bearer Two hum
dred & sixty-four dollars & and thir-
ty-seven cents, it being the amount
of a Judgment for cost and damages
against me forcowhiding a mis- creant
by the name of So. This iudg-
ment was obtained by the assassin
like midnight's work Of imps and the
aid of his associates. This will sup
ply the Puppy with the means of Civ
ing a few more Rich Dinners to those
who combined with himself to perse-
cute and wrong me out of this money.
May a Just God in due time smite
and PROSTATE these vile Hypocrites,
and let each morsel they eat
at the table of this degraded
wretch prove a dose of Gall & Worm
wood until they are brought to re-
pentance for their iniquity 1t is re-
ported a part OF this money is to be
a donation to the Female Orphan
Asylum of Georgetown; by that
means this condemned wretch expects
to keep from sinking inpublic estima-
ton. Can it be possible? q hope
not) that the guardians of that in
stitution would receive from this
miscreant a donation OF money re-
ceived in this way, when it is well
known he is this day largely indebted
to many respectable persons in the
town, who he has, in some instances
entirely ruined by taking the benefit
Of the Bankrupt Law, and is now
living in greater afHuence than any
other person in this town. Not only
that but he once before failed and
ran off from Boston, indebted to an
immense amount, which he still is in.
debted for. This is the fellow who
now come out to make donations to
the Female Orphan Asylum ofGeorge-
town. [ pray the guardians may
not receive a curse Of this kind; look
only to virtue and aid will come from
honest sources.

Eighty Miles An Hour.

Chicago, among othor curiosities
peculiar to her, is shortly to have
the largest and fastest passenger
locomotive ever constructed, which
will surpass in every way anything.
! hitherto attempted in it's. way.
This wonderful engine, designed by
G. S. Strong, of New York, has just
been completed at Boston for the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
road, and when shipped West will
be used for hauling the vestibuled
train between Chicago and TT.
Madison.
1t has a double fre-box, with a
heating surface of $50 square feet,
possessing 800 fues. Its cylinder is
l9x24 inches, and with driving wheels
80 inches in diameter is expected to
haul lOtcars over an ordinary road
at. the rate of so miles an hour.
All the wheels are of paper, with
steel tires A new feature introduced
into the construction is the steam
pump, which SO works that a great
part Of the exhausted steam is pun
ped back and serves to heat the
water in the tank before it goes into
the boiler. thereby saving a great
deal of fuel.
Another economy in felu is the
work OF a large com bustion chamber
in connection with the fire. box,whic
burns up all the smoke and gas in
stead OF letting it escape by hestack.
The boiler, instead ofbeing built with
stay-bolt, is heavily corrugated on
| the inside.
The first thing observable is the
singular position Of the engineers
cab, which is perched up on top Of the
boiler about the center, and is oc-
cupied by the engineer alone, as
another cab built behind the boiler is
| provided for the fireman. In each
is a perfect system of gauges to keep
track OF the steam power.
The engine alone will weigh SIS tons,
and with the tender, which is built to
ride like a passenger coach, will weigh
IS tons. The engineer who was Sc
lected to sit up in the new cab and
run this new contr1vance is g. IS. Nc
Kee, of Chicago. He is in Boston at
present, and is being made perfectly
accqu with all its mech anism.
He expresses delight over the ma
chine and is most anxious to have
her in service. It has been named
the a. 6, Darwin, sitter the president
OF the company designing it, and viii
