CARMENCITA'S HEART.
The Noted Spanish Dancing Beauty's
Cardiac Disorder.
- 60

There is genuine regret among the chap
pies and ChOllies that, make the neighbour
hood of the Hoffman House bar their rem
devious at the announcement that Carmen
eta, the famous Spanish dancer, may soon
be seen no more. She is. reported to have
heart disease.
The cause is undoubtedly oYerwork rather
than any inherited predlspositiOu to that
dread malafy. Her thousands of admirers
will learn with regret that the lovely dancer
has to be supported by twomen when walk
ing to her dressing-room every night. thor
Oughy exhausted ard scarcely able to
breathe. The eXeTtiOn of dancing throws
her into a nervous state, from which she
does not recover for an hour or two
The doctors say that her method of dane
ing is especially dangerous and fatiguing.
The cOntOrtions which she goes through
nightly have resulted in a serious reduction
of her vitality, and the fine color which
many of the glded youth of America have
admired has departed. Carmencita is pale
and getting thinner each week.
Native Christian women in China have
formed society TO discourage the custom OF
COMPRISING the feet in childhood.

Naturally the part OF the Presidents
letter of acceptance which attracts the
greatest interest is that which deals with
the matter of the apportionment of Con-
gressional districts and the election Of
congressman in the different States. The
question is discussed with great modera-
ton and tact OF course the evils of an
unfair arrangement of districts and of
intimidation and fraud at the ballot-box
have long been recognized by thoughtful
men in both parties, and the necessity for
their removal has been deeply and widely
felt. The problem, however, especially
that part of it relating to elections, offers
many formidable difficulties which would
hardly yield to the treatment heretofore
popularity proposed. In this exigency
the Presidents suggestion is that the
whole matter be submitted to a board.

some plan by which the abuses might he
cured by legislation.
The recommendation is reasonable and
