Getting Information from a Woman

Getting Information from a Woman.
New York Sun.
1t was the evening of the graduating
exercises in a philanthropieal institution
Said the reporter TO the lady in charge
rustling around in the dignity of q new
black silk:
How many graduates have you?''
ooh, dear me, you are a reporter?
just dread to see one coming in They
never get anything right. 1 never knew
one to- | think they do it on purpose
1t is too mean for anything. l hate
But viii you tell me the number of
graduates?
''Oh, ever so many, and they are just
the brightest girls. Oh, it is such a
wonderful thing that this institution can
educate them as it does. 1t is perfectly
splendid. don It suppose it 8 any use to
tell you about it, for you won't get it
right anyway
''What do they graduate in?''
''Why, everything most. That S the
idea of the Institution, to make them so
self-reliaut and ready for emergencies
and-''
"who are the patrons of the institu-
tion?'
ooh, nice psople. Everybody ought
to be interested in it They would be,
too, if the papers took 1t up in the right
way, but they won't They never get
anything right, the reporters-oh, can It
tell you how they twist things. -
I" How many instructors do you en-
ploy?"
"Oh, we have the loveliest teachers.
IN go and ask Miss B to come and
tell you about them. She knows them
personally-all the little family his,
tory, you know But of course
we don t want you to publish that Pa
pers are just filled with every one's pri-
Yate affairs now. 1t is just hoFFid, but I
suppose the reporters don ( care what
they say if they just get their pay Ex-
cuse me, III go and speak to Miss
Smith, - and she Fustled away. The re-
porter waited while they counseled to-
gether and, approaching, heard: "Oh,
think She S lovely in that dress. You
know / advised her TO put those reveTs
on-so much more becoming than
plain waist. Oh, there' that dreadful
reporter I IN tired to death telling him
about things You tell him about the
teachers, won t you, dear, and put those
violetS Up little nearer your chin. -
-? Why, don't know anything
aboutit, and IN busy; I'M on the flower
committee.
'Weu, we might as well let it go.
I've told him all about il shut he II get it
all wrong, any way. 1t is perfectly
awful the way those reporters miseon-
strue things and never get anything
right.

DExFERous DANCERS.
Sinuous siamese Girls Who Pick Up straws
With Their Eyelids.


With Their Eyelids
Philadelphia News.
Poised ON tiptoe, bending their arms
and limbs back as far as they will reach
and picking up bits of straw with then
eyelids, the dancing girls of Bangkok are
always exercising in the Royal gymna-
SUM. The new volume in the ZigZag
series, "Journeys in the Antipodes.
gives very graphic description of the
wonderful physical training of these
girls, whose ages vary from five to
twenty years. The curious and subtle
feat of picking up a bit Of straw with the
eyelids can be learned only by the young
est of them, who are made to practice it
in order to render them flexible in every
part of the body. There are two long
rows of benches. one little higher than
the other. On the lower is q row of lit
tie girls and on the upper bench are laid
fine polished bits of straw. At the sound
of the drum the little girls all together
bend back the head and neck until they
touch the bits of straw, which, with
wonderful dexterity, they secure between
the corners of the eyelids.
The cup dance is the most graceful and
poetic OF their dances. 4 row Of young
women, WIFI Tier OF cups on lneIf
heads, take their places il the center of
the gymnasium. A burst of joyous music
follows. On hearing this they simulta-
neeusly, with military precision, kneel
down, fold their hands and bow their
heads until their fOreheads almost
touch the marble floor, keeping the
cups steadily on their heads by some
marvellous jerk of the neck Then, sud
denly spTinging to their feet, they de-
scribe a succession Of rapid and intricate
circles, keeping time to the music with
their arms head and feet
Next follows d miracle of art such as
may be found only among the people of
the highest physical training. The music
swells into rapturous tumult. The
dancers raise their delicate feet, curve
their arms and fingers in seeming i'm
possible textures, sway to and fro
like withes of willow, sgitate all
the muscles Of the body like the f1utteF of
leaves in q soft evening breeze, but still
keep the tiers of cups on their heads. AT
other times q cup full of some liquid is
placed on the floor in the center of the
hall. A girl viii spring to her feet and
dance about it in round wild eddies, and
suddenly laying herself down, keeping
her arms folded tight on her breast, will
take up the cup with her lips and drain
the liquid without splitting drop.

The Symphony Concerts.

Society is astir over the Symphony Club
concerts on Thursday and Friday nights.
Some were hesitating whether or not even
ing dress would be the rule or the exception,
but the management referred to the charm
ing effect of last seasons concerts, on which
occasion the ladies almost entirely appeared
without hats and in evening toilettes, while
the gentlemen appeared in the conventional
costume de TigueT, which adds much to
events Of this class. Every precaution
has been taken TO insure the
audience an evening OF uninter-
will be well heated and the doors closed
during the performance of a number to
prevent the annoying disturbance of late
arrivals.
The following appeared in the Petersburg
Press, and adds one more to the clubs sue
cesses: The Academy Of Music presented
rarely beautiful scene last night in the
magnificent audience that filed its every
part, truly representative audience
OF the culture, the beauty and the fash
ION OF Petersburg, on the occasion of the
concert by the Boston Symphony Orchestral
Club. The evening was one of genuine en-
Joyment to every lover OF music, and such
music is not often heard in our city. There
was potent attraction about the pro-
gramme The selections were, with one or
two exceptions, Of a popular character,
ann at least four numbers by members Of
the club. The ensemble playing was ad-
mirable, both in balance and attention to
light and shade, while some of the pianis-
slIno effects were particularly noticeable
for their delicacy. Taking all in all, it NAV
be said to have been the best concert ever

THE NEW SHIP KANSAS CITY.
The Vessel to Sail from New York on
Her First Trip Dec. az.

The Vessel to Sail from New York on
Her First Trip Dec. az.
General Manager Sorrel of the Ocean
Steamship Company received advices yes
terday that steam was got up on the Kansas
City on Dec. s. and her boilers and ma.
chinery worked very satisfactorily. There
has been more delay in getting the steamer
ready than was anticipated, owing to the
weather. Mr.. Roach's reports show that
there have been 10l rainy days at Chester
since May /, a record unequaled since 1882.
The trial trip of the new ship from
Chester to New York will be made Dec. 20,
and her outfit being already well advanced
it is expected that the Kansas City will sail
for this port on the 18th. taking the place
OF the City Of Augusta. which will lay of
one trip to put in a new propeller.
Gen. Sorrel left last night on the CITY Of
Birmingham for New York, where he will
remain, and will push forward the com
pletion of the Kansas City. He will return
on the yes e As soon as the new ship ar
rives here the City of Savannah will be
transferred to the Boston line, SO as to have
vessel leaving from cit er Boston or Sa-
vannah every -FOUR days.
The Kansas City is very badly needed. as
the business of the port is rapidly growing
GeD. Sorrel says that it is absolutely neces-
sary to have more vessels on the line. and
the company will doubtless give orders very
soon for additional construction. There is
no time to be lost in giving the order, as
the American ship yards are SO crowded
with work that it takes some time to build
q vessel of the capacity required for the
Savannah liners.
Capt. T. Kempton, late of the Nacoochee
senior captain OF the feet, will command
the Kansas City.

Gilmore,s Band Concerts.

1t IS not often that musical entertain
ment Of 80 high and costly character as
that which is to be given in this city by the
Gilmore band and the artists who accom-
pany it can be heard outside of New York.
1t requires the man who first designed and
tnen carried to successful conclusion the
great Boston Peace Jubilees to take an or
ganization of such magnitude to the Pacific
coast, and then return through the south.
But Gilmore is nothing if not daring,
and he is always successful. He
has always been popular with
the people because he has preferred to please
them rather than to pose as something too
high for the present generation to under
stand. That is one secret OF his unvarying
success; another is that he has the best
musicians obtainable. The result is. his
concerts are enjoyed by everybody, must
clans as well as the general public. Gilmore
will be here Saturday for two concerts at
the theater,

THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
The Walls Completed to the Top OF the
Third Story.

4nlTQ STORY
The new court house is beginning to loom
up. Only one more story has to be added
1t is now three stories high. Contractors
Miles and BrAdt said yesterday that they
will have the structure under roof by
February. They are under contract to COM
plete the building by August. All of the
granite to be used has been placed in posi-
ton. 1t is used mostly on the President street
front. The foundation for the tower at the
northwest corner Of the structure is of
granite. The trimmings to be used from
now on in the construction of the building
are sandstone,
About seventy men are now at work on
the building, principally on the )urt rooms.
The rooms will be the hight OF two stories.
Work is finished up to the mezz Onine floor.
or the courtroom gallery, which is about
the hight of the third floor. TIE vaults for
the Offices Of the ordinary and for the clerks
of the superior and city courts were COM
pleted overhead yesterday. They are built
very substantial IN case of fall of the
building by fire, but there is no claim to
their being burglar proof. The contractors
say that in order to make them burglar
proof good deal more money
would be required. The inside of thaN aults
of iron and steel
The entrances to the building have been
completed except the steps. The facings
and the arches and the walls leading up
into the corridors are finished, and they
present beautiful appearances. The court
house is the second building in Savannah
made OF buff brick, and the color attracts
great deal of ate 1tion. The color ia
becoming decidedly popular.
