Dance AZ the Cave.

The dance at the cave last night
was well attended by large crowd
of pleasure seekers, and the affair
was one Of the most pleasant of the
season. There were about twenty
five couples present and dancing was
kept up until after midnight. The
plank floor that Manager Thompson
has put at the mouth of the cave
makes it one of the most delightful
places for dancing imaginable. 1t is
an excellent improvement and is APP
preciated by people who go there.

STANFORD FOR PRESIDENT.

The report comes from California that
Senator Stanford is backing the Alliance
third party movement with his millions
with view to securing the thirty party
nomination for President next year.
The Senator's managers will urge his
nomination on account of his per cent
government loan land bill.
1t is also alleged that il Stanford's
managers could have exactly their own
way about matters they would first
secure for him the Alliance nomination,
and then urge his claims upon the Ma.
tional Republican Convention as a sure
road to Republican victory.
There is not much doubt that Stan
ford wants to be President. The ALI
ance will soon be hunting man to lead
forlorn hope and they will want some
cash as we'll. 1t is understood that
Stanford is willing to pay for tho glory,
and the nomination of this millionaire
by the Peoples party would be an act
of characteristic consistency.

A Chinaman's Impressions of Christian

Our free and easy way of counting is

Yuan Hsing-fo recently wrote in ITEM
pie Bar" some of his impressions of
English and American methods of
wooing.
Besides invitations to dinner" he
writes, there are invitations to tea
parties, such as are occasionally given
by wealthy merchants or distinguished
officials, When the time comes an equal
number of men and women assemble,
and tea, sugar, milk, bread and the like
are set out as aids to conversation.
More particularly are these invitations
to skip and posture when the host de-
cides what man is to be the partner of
what woman, and what woman of what
man.
"Then, with both arms grasping each
other, they leave the table in pairs, and
leap, skip, posture and prancc for
their mutual qualification. A man and
woman previously unknown to one
another may take part in it. They call
this skipping 'tanshen' (dancing)"

maid resting upon her partners shout

prance backward round and round the
room until they are forced to stop for

AFTER this they will become nc

change of confidence at the tea table,
their intimacy will deepen, the maiden's

THE FIRE LADDIEs,. FAIR.

A Worry Auspicious Opening Last Night.
Some of the Attractions.
The fair of the Junior Hose Fire Com
pany was opened last night under very
pleasing auspices and the two weeks
which it will run will undoubtedly be
very successful ones for the red-coa ted
fire ladies. The fair Is being held in
tho rooms formerly occupied by the Bell
Printing Company in the Gale block.
The fair opened last night with a
parade through the principal streets,
which was participated in by all three
Of the companies with their machines.
At the hall everything was in readiness
to receive the boys, and when the pro.
cession mounted the stairs the gallant
firemen were met by bevy of pretty
girls.
Refreshments were served on the
lower floor and upstairs dancing was in
dulged in. The refreshment tables
were presided over by Mrs. Frank Ray
and Mrs. Rucker, and fully ZOO people
were in at enhance. Voting for a num-
Der OF articles was started last night
and it promises to be lively all through
the fair.

THE INTERCEPToR.

Tho open meeting held by the sewer
committee last night ought to DO the
entering wedge which shall split Mr..
Hering's interceptor wide open. Mr..
Herring is undoubtedly great sanitary
engineer, but he has also tho reputa-
ton of preferring scientific andt heoreti-
cal accuracy to adapting his plans to
practical lines and the financial abiii-
ties of the cities for which he plans.
In other words, he would advocate the
same system for the same topography
regardless Of whether the area to be
drained was the situs OF New York or
Roanoke. Mr.. Hering's interceptor will
cost nearly S1OO,OO Can Roanoke afford
to pay that for one sewer which in
wolves theoretical perfection with the
danger of practical failure?
1t is in ovid snce that the grade of the
interceptor is less than in City Engineer
Dunlap's plan of drainage by improving
the natural waterways. Tho natural
waterways must be utilized under any
circumstances. Why, then, should an
expensive interceptor be constructed to
empty filth into high level of the
river at point soon to be occupied by
fine residences and extensive industrial
plants?
The main argument in favor of MIR.
Hering's interceptor seems to be Mr..
Hering's eminence in his profession.
Mr.. Hering's reputation undoubtedly is
very valuable to himself. but it is not
worth S1O0, 900 to Roanoke.

invited, and the entire mansion was
thrown open to the guests. The house

on the alert for new discoveries.
celebrated singer had just taken
her place ut the piano, when this young
man, who was standing in the lower
hall near the parlor door, caught sight
of something that looked like black
rubber button in the center of n small
marble disk. What could that be for?
He was so anxious to know that he
could not listen to the singer, says Lon

and he felt sure he could examine the
curiosity without being noticed. lie

the rubber or metal button with his
fingers, pressed 1t softly, and on tho in
