The ChiIdren's Dance at the vene-
tIan Carnival.

The Garcia is an italian dance, which
dates back as far as the times of Dante. It
is dance in round always accompanied
by a song, alternate solo and chorus, called
balldtd. Dante himself wrote balldte which
were eagerly accepted by the Florentines
and sung at their festivals. Other famous
writers of ballate were Cino da Pistoia Boo
caccio aud Franco Saechetti. No Tuscan
festival ofthose days-either in the squares
Of the cities or in the fields Of the country
was without its Garcia; while. later, the ac-
complished scholars of the Renaissance
raised the ballata to high literary and ar
tistic level for the entertainment of the bril-
liant court of Lorenzo de Medici. The grave
historians of those centuries become poetic
in recountlng the pageantry Of these dances
the pages of VILLAIN, Stefan and other chron-
icles fairly shine with beautiful words which
describe the silk and velvet, the garlands of
wrought gold and silver the gentle beauty of
OF the Tuscan maidens, and the youths who
played on lutes and viols as the dance was
led down the fiower-starred hills.
The critic DAncona cites q sixteenth CEN
tury author who heard sung,near Varlunga,
the very ballata, which Boccaccio makes his
heroine, Lady Belcolore, sing and dance so
well. The words of this song are very
quaint aud simple; and, literally translated
by Mrs. Cavazza. will be sung during the
dance by the children at the First Parish
Fair. As the antique Italian music has not
been handed down to the present day, Mr..
Kotzschmar has composed an air, graceful
and expressive enough to have pleased Lady
Belcolore herself

four were saved out of crew of twenty-five.
The survivors are Henry Wilson. William
Regan and Moses Peepsa, sailors, and Vic
tor Boeck, a lad of IS.
The Cheseborough sailed from Philadel-
phla last April for Kobe with kerosene. She
passed through typhoon, but reached port
safely and then went to Hakadate, where
she loaded with sulphur for New York. She
sailed october 2S and two days later took
gale which drove her ashore She went
broadside on and the waves swept over her.
No boat could be launched and the men
climbed into the rigging. The cook, an old
man named Fee of Providence, r. l., was
too weak to get into the rigging and was
drowned in his bunk. Then the masts went,
carrying the men benumbed with cold into
the sea.
The captain, mate and several expert
swimmers were drowned. Only those who
grasped bits of wreckage were carried to
the shore.

40 feet and her depth "a feet. Her home port
was Bath and Captain Erickson and the first
and second officers, Bailey and Soule, were

in that city. They had worked their way

ent time cannot be regarded as practicable
or feasible.

lowed by ringing her bell"

VERY FILM SY.
Is What Attorney Wing Calls the
Case Against the cronIn Suspects.

CHICAGO, December Pin the Cronin case
this morning, Mr.. Forrest proceededlto offer
evidence contradicting the testimony of T.
Conklin, regarding the knives said to belong
to DR.. Cronin, which were found in Dan
Coughlin's pockets. The testimony was
that the knives had been carried by Cough
Itn before the death of Cronin.
Judge Wing resumed his argument for the
defence. The idea of sane man, while
suspected of murder, carrying for two
weeks in his pocket the knives of the MUIR
dered man, was. in Attorney Wings mind,
too ridiculous a proposition to be entertained
for moment. The conspiracy and its rela-
tion to Camp 20 next claimed the advocates s
attention. "a case of conspiracy must be
established by the State beyond reasonable
doubt" he said. "Either such case must
be proved. or this trial must be dropped and
the prisoners discharged. And the only
proof that such conspiracy did exist is cir
cumstantial evidence. and circumstantial
evidence of very tlimsy nature. have
heard of many cases of conspiracy, but new
er have heard of a case so absurd as this
one. There is nothing to show that a con-
spiracv existed. 1t may be true that fac
tions existed in the society; that Cronin led
one faction and somebody else another. but
the only thing that can be made of it is that
some men disliked Cronin for his stand on
certain noints."
