suspect they will. In fact, good
many men will dance in the next CEN
tury who did not dance in this, main
ly because they were not born soon
enough. And, by the way, the next
century being the Twentieth, round
dances ought to get a good show.

O'Connor, the we'll known tragedian,

the South Jersey hens affair isn't

Has the bowling season opened at the
Palma clubhouse9 Yes, it has opened
with prayers. Certainly Ted did the
playing on the d. q. Bnt the season has
opened, and with trimmings and fixin's.
All the talent had gathered at, half past
seven when Chairman Sam Hathaway
and the Bowling Committee filed in
the Hungarian orchestra Their was
no doubt about their nativity. They
wore the hung(ary trade mark. Their
selections too proved they were not of the
ordinary type of musician. Each man in
the band was an artist, and so pro-
was apparent. not alone to the critic, but
to all. When they unloaded such a
charming and difficult moroccan as
Comrades" or maggie Murphy's
Home." they discharged it with
such commendable vigor that the
boys with light feet could not resist and
paid homage to Terpsichore. They
walzed on platform and alley and some
would have whirled on a ten cent piece If
there had been no larger space. Those
who did not waltz sang whenever popu.
lar air was hit and they had ample oppor-
tunity. 1t was lively contest, by the
way, between the vocalists and the
tanced at the wire. 1t was
well chosen orchestra as the
bowlers could readily roll to the music.
No matter how slow or fast the ball sped
down the alley there was some instru-
menJ that kept pace with it and the
crash of pins was rendered soft and low
by the excellent efforts of the trombone
player. II was q large evening for the
Palma bowlers and the 200 spectators
They had heap of fun aud it did not
cease even wnen the exhausted band
was carried to the little house around
the corner and revived sufficiently
to go home unassisted. 1t was midnight
when The merriment ended at the club
house. All the bowling talent was on
deck and participated in the jolly affair.
On the alleys were Leuley, Entrup,
Meyer. Clarke, Vultee. Gopaill, Rich.
Carter, Bettcher, Harrison. Van Buren,,
Judges Lockwood and Clarke, Daily,
Lange, Pendexter, Powers, Machold,
Shaw. Kimoall, Baldwin, Jeanne and

a Famous sinuer,s Shawl.

When the theatre was founded in
Berlin in 1894 the directors sought to
gain special talent for the young stage
in order to secure rich dividends.
Henriette Sontag, who was then
eighteen, was the rising meteor on the
artistic horizon Two OF the directors
journeyed to Leipsic in order to in
duce the artist to sign a contract for
several years.
In Leipsic they met passengers
from other theatres who surrounded
the lovely singer with the same APP
peal. After days of negotiations they
made no headway. A rich financier
of Berlin, tired of the DELAY, adopted
measures which could not fail to have
the desired effect upon the young and
pretty, but poor artistic. He bought
a beautiful shawl, and, presenting it
to the singer, he pointed to the pen
to sign the contract.
Never had Henriette Sontag pos
sessed SO pretty an article of apparel.
Completely overcome by the splendor
OF so rich gift, she turned to her sis
ter, Nina. and said:-
nina, I am faint; please sign"
So she was bound by contract and
formed the chief attraction for three
wears, not only of the theatre, but OF
the city of Berlin.
The receipts of the theatre were
enormous, vet several shareholders re-
preached the managers of the treasury
for making unnecessary expenditures,
and demanded, therefore, strict ac-
count tor the use of the money. These
expenditures were soon made public,
and it came out in the newspapers
that the shawl, which the singer re-
ceiyed in Leipsic, was presented with
out the consent of the shareholders.
The morning this fact was published
in the papers Fraulein Sontag sealed
up the valuable present, and with
true. womanly tact, sent it to the
| directors of the theatre Her messen-
ger had scarcely entered the as
sembly-rooin when the news of the
occurrence spread all over the city,
and in the evening of the same day a
Turkish shawl lay on the singers
table. 1t had been sent by the king
and was more valuable than the first
one.
Early the following day the tinancier

How to Select SILK.

There IRE SO many limitations of
silk upon the market that few sim
pie rules will be useful for discerning
the good material from the bad. Ii
you gather the fabric into folds. across

those OF paper, it is bad; the folds of
good silk will be rounded and soft,

remain white, while the chlorine gas
evolved from the lime will change the

WASHINGTON'S MANSIONS.
Private Dwellings Adaptable for
Large Social Entertainments.

"Of all Washington houses, said a
society woman of English birth the
other day, probably the best adapted
for purposes of entertaining is the
British legation. The rooms are SO
altogether suitable for dancing. and,
as of course you know, the dining
room is one of the finest in this
country. There is something at once
homelike and superb about the lega-
tion inside. l consider the establish
ment an illustration of the fact that
the English are the most civilized
people in the world. We may laugh
at and revile their aristocracy - l
speak as one now considering herself
an American-bu they are way ahead
of us in most of the refinements of
life. The art OF entertaining they
understand to perfection not at all
attained on this side of the water If
you don't believe it visit the British
legation"
..Do you not find any other houses
in Washington we'll equipped for en-
tertaining?"
'sOh, yes, indeed. For instance,
Mr.. Morton's house is most delight
fully arranged for entertaining. The
most important thing for such pur-
poses is to have an extended sweep of
rooms. Now, since the new addition
has been put on, there is in the Vice
Presidents house stretch of ITO feet
of drawing rooms and dining rooms in
a straight line. This affords most de-
sirable facilities for dancing. Be-
sides, as you doubtless are aware, the
new addition gives room for separ-
ate entrance and exit for guests at
parties and other entertainments, with
a second porte cochere outside and
large dressing rooms and cloak rooms
within. 1t is quite new idea to me,
and, on the whole, l have no hesita-
tion in saying that the Morton estab-
lsshment is as we'll equipped as any
have visited in my native country. In
fact, there are very few of the great
houses in England so we'll provided
with entertaining facilities as is the
vice presidents. Especially below
stairs it is marvel. To begin with,
there are two chefs, one a general
manager and the other pastry cook,
while all the appointments are mar
velously complete"
What do you think of the Letters
hOuse?"
You mean, of course, the Blaine
house, occupied by them on Dupont
street. 1t is handsome residence
but not at all we'll adapted for enter,
tanning. There are only two parlors
available for dancing, and in waltzing
from one room to the other
you must jump over the brass
rod on which the folding doors
run lest you trip up. Perhaps the
most available house for parties in
Washington, with the exception of
the British legation, is DR.. Ham
inond's.. / have never been able TO
imagine why so magnificent man
sion should be placed in such local
ity. The hall itself is as big as large
Nall room, in the shape of rotunda,
and you may go through dozen
apartments before you arrive at the
living room Of the household. Among
other houses in Washington which |
consider superb enough to vie with
any private residences abroad are
those of General Nicholas Anderson,
Justice Gray, Colonel John Hay.
Henry Adams and the Tuckermans'."

THEY LOVE THE WEED.
Farmer Russell's Horses Not Only
Chew Tobacco, They eat 1t.

WoLCoTT, N. Y, November 30.-The
claim set forth from time immemorial by
tobacco haters, that no animal would touch
the weed, that even the hog felt above 1t,
seems destined to receive a serious set
back. Eugene Russell, farmer living on
the Post Bay road near Lake Ontario, Is
the owner of mare and colt that are ex-
tremely fond of tobacco. The mare formed
the habit long before the birth Of the colt,
and In the case of the youngster the appe-
tlte seems to have been inherited. Three
years ago Mr.. Russell decided that he
would cure the mare of her habit, and to
do so he gave her two pounds Of fine cut,
which she devoured with relish. This not
fazing Der bit he tried leaf tobacco, of
which he Is producer in small way. AT
ter slowing away quantity of this she
showed symptoms Of distress. She was
dizzy and wanted to lie down and think
over her sins, about as a small boy might
: have wanted to do under similar circum-
stances. This settled her as far as the
plain leaf was concerned. She has never
tasted 1t since, though fine cut touches the
spot the same as ever 1t did.
This was not long previous to the birth
of the colt. and the little fellow exhibited
almost from the first the 'hankeriag" for a
chew, and now both animals will follow
any stranger all over the lot who has the
smell OF tobacco about his clothes.

AUGUSTA. November 30.-The Governor
and Council today considered the confirm
alton of the nomination Of Judge Nathan
Coombs. as municipal judge OF Bath, who
was recently reappointed by Governor
Burleigh. Hon. 0rville ID. Baker repre-
sented the opposition. Hon. VIM. Rogers
and Mayor Fritz Twitchell of Bath. were
present for the opposition. Lawyers w.
Z. Hogan Of Bath and A. w. Coombs Of
Portland, appeared for the petitioners for
confirmation. There were also present for
the petitioners, Sheriff John Ballou. Clerk
of Courts Hayes. Francis Adams and 9TH
ers from Bath. Judge Coombs presented
letters from many prominent citizens Of
Bath and the county. asking for his con-
firmation. 1t appeared that the opposition
TO Judge COOmbs was based on bis c0nnec.
ti0n with the case of Marshal Bailey, by
whom prisoners were released without tri-
al. by paying costs. No question Of his
honesty or ability was raised. The opposi-
tlon asked the appointment Of Henry K.
Duncan. The questions of Judge Coombs's 8
counsel tended to show that Mr.. Duncan
was musician, had been offered large
salary to leave Bath, and that this appoint
ment was intended to keep him In the city.
Much interest was manifested In the hear
ing which was adjourned to Tuesday. At
times the counsel became quite excited and
sharp words were exchanged.
The Council granted a conditional par
don to VIM. III. Strout of Brunswick, serv-
Ing sentence for perjury.

"Mr. Blaine spoke in a full, musical

himself with noticeable distinctness, both
OF matter and utterance, yet with the nat
uralness and ease Of one whose mind Is
perspicacions and whose ideas flow easily.
He sat with his elbows on the arms of his
chair, occasionally making slight gestures
with his hands. His eyes are soft, bright
and clear, and they are intelligence itself.

everything at once and without effort.
In fact, effort. in the sense of straining to

ly and even pleasurably. He holds the
most important and responsible post under
the administration but, so far, a least. as
his intellect Is concerned, his capacity re-
mains definitely in excess OF any de-
mands upon it."
Mr.. Hawthorne then narrates a convers
satiOn in which Mr.. Blaine described the
routine of his department, compllmenting
the skill of his assistants. Continuing, the
letter says:
".There are some parts of the cores

"'Yes. anything of Importance, or that
