Among the " dances none has
struck the popular fancy as the
berlin 1t is bright and vivacious,
easy in tempo and movement, and SIM
nle in execution. 1t is unique in char
acter, having more varied forms or
changes in its promenade, reverse, and
waltz than any of It's rivals for public
favor. 1t was approved last winter by
the older, and is now the special favorite
Of toe younger dancers in the ball room,
while during the summer season just
closed it was the pride Of the lawn
party. The berlin" is, strictly speak
ING, a polka step, displaying an easy
toe movement. The dancers start side
by side, the gentleman holding the
lady's left hand in his right,
polka forward, and then revers-
ing positions, polka back and
turn. Then while In a waltz
position the couple execute two glides,
polka and repeat. 1t is a very graceful
dance among society people, but when
copied by many young persons who are
prone TO founder through everything in
the dance order, il becomes a sort Of i'm
ascrptu ballet for the onlooker. At
most OF the summer resorts the berlin"
was the choice of dances during the
past season, while at Long Branch, Sar-
atoga, Lake Mahopac and other consort-
ing places for the rich in the east, 1t
became as much of a craze as the soci-
ETY. waltz did a few years ago. At all
the garden parties at the Great Union
hotel at Saratoga the ''berlin" took the
place of the german. But this Was be-
cause the berlin is more adapted TO
the lawn than its formidable rival for
public favor. The german will continue
the coming winter, as it has been for
several seasons past, the leading dance,
because the American society professors
OF drancing claim it is more adapted to
society.

and he appeared in his fragility as one
only waiting for the summons from on
high.

impressed him: ''Oh," he said, that

This last was the browning attraction,

committee charged with investigating

hour word was sent TO Leedom that the
committee desired his presence. Lee

places the amount of the desalcation at

to investigation of the manner in which
business was transacted in his Office in
its various r~amitications with the treas-
ury, national banks and representatives.
j. W. Whelpley. assistant United
States treasurer, testified as 10 the mode

investigation into the legal aspect of the

TO the members whose ~sRlaries are in

an open question, it appears as a result

sncott's Deralcatiou Grows Greater.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.--As the com
mittee appointed TO investigate the de
falcation Of Cashier Silcott continues
its work further evidences of Silcott's
villiany becomes apparent. Leedom has
discovered that ~thirty-hye notes aggre

names of members by the absent cashier
and taken up at the National Metro
p~olitan bank November %. That day
silcott drew a large sum of money from
the treasury and il is supposed Silcoti
took up these notes TO destroy the evi
dence Of forgery against him. liz Sill
colt is captured in Canada and the fac,
that he forged notes can be proven he
can be extradited.
