DElUGED BY WATER.
The Bursting of Main In Chicago Cause
Loss of About 100000.

The Bursting of Main In Chicago Causes
Loss of About 100000.
CHICAGO, Dec. ia water main
burst at the corner of Fifth avenue and
Congress street at a. m. Monday and
flooded a mum Der of Easements in the inn
mediate vicinity before the water Office
could be notified and the water shut
off. So great was the pressure from
the main that for distance of block
on either side of the break the pave
ment was thrown up in great mound
several feet above the level of the
street. The main was the principal
source of supply for the West side and
many manufactures in that portion of
the city were compelled to shut down
for want of water
A great amount of suffering was
caused by the bursting of the main,
and the damage to property is at least
$4,000. Many poor people lived in
Easements near the break, and num-
ber of families were rendered home
less and destitute. The easements OF
the humble homes are from six to tif'
teen feet below grade, and into them
the water poured like u cataract. Near
ly every basement was inhabited by one
or more families, and wild
scramble to get out ensuec
among those who were not toe
sick to rise. In many instances botf
mothers and children escaped with JUS
the clothing they had on when the
food of water rushed in upon them
In several instances the lives of the
sick were only saved by promptitudt
/ and beroism.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 10.-A prominent
cattleman just arrived from northwest
ern New Mexico says that for more
than two years the heavens there have
refused to yield rain and as result the
water courses are dried up and the ir-
rigating bitches are useless. Said he:
"At u low estimate 5000 TO 100000 head of
cattle have died from starvation and lack of
water. The railroads are shipping cattle out
OF the region by train loads, but thousands OF
these cattle will die they are too weak to
withstand the winters. Some cattle companies
estimate. their loss as high rs 90 per cent and
the average will run 50 to 10 per cent Tho
sheep are in almost as bad condition as the cal.
tie The heaviest losses are in Colfax and id
tOining counties"

mony. The dancing of David before
the ark has frequently been quoted, and
many commentators express the opin-
ion that each psalm was accompanied
by q distinct dance. st. Vitus, also,
danced. Our American Indians have
their ghost dances which consist of a
wild, grotesque series of leaps and con-
tortions to the weird music of dirge-
like mournful chant. 1t is not at all
like the dance described by an old Eng
lish poet:
"A fnc sweet earthquake gently moved
BY the soft wind OF whispering silks"
These preliminary remarks on dane
ing are caused by my having been to
see the great and only Lottic Collins.
For months the atmosphere of Man
haitian island has been saturated, SO to
speak, with "Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-aye."
With the possible exception of those
who are so fortunate as to be deaf the
residents Of New York have been
Obliged to listen to the dreadful re-
frain. 1t is whistled by boys on the
streets, twisted by the tail, as it we1 :,
out of hand organs, pounded on innum-
cradle pianos, to say nothing of brass
bands. When balny sleep seeks to WOO
the drowsy eyelids the aforesaid balmy
sleep is disturbed by some belated re-
veler trying, with whislsy-laden breath,
to warble the familiar strain. This has
been going on ever since Miss Lottie
Collins, and her husband, Mr.. Cooney,
were injudiciously released from quar-
rantine. At last my curiosity was
aroused, so went to the Standard
theater where Miss Collins was adver-
tised to Ta-ra-ra boom-de-aye between
the second and third acts of Jane"
AS she flippantly asserts in the song
she is not too young" although she
has quite youthful appearance. She
wears long dress that comes down to
the tops of her shoes. She has a
wealth of long curls and hat that is
immense. | think the curls and hat
must be fastened to her head by some
new kind of adhesive cement, other.
wise they would be shaken off, so
violent are the wriggles and contor-
tions.
She sings tho well-lsnown song in a
very fair voice, tossing her head and
smiling Then the band, and particu-
larry the drum, strikes up boom
de-aye, and she makes n circuit of the
stage. She does not dance at all. She
wriggles and cavorts around the stage.
Every once in while she leaps into the
air and kicks. She bends forward until
her curls are on the floor. and the audi
ence is filed with dread that she is go
ing to stand on her head At times the
audience sees sonfused mass of curls
and black stockings. The impression
that she must have four feet and that
at times they are higher than her hea6
is cleverly optical dclusion
Her gloves, which extend above hel
elbows. are blacls and so arc her stock
ings. Her movements are very rapid
something like those of man putting
down hot plate.
These gyrations are repeated with va
riations after each verse. and, like tho
famous ballad of the Battle of tn,
Nile" there are twenty-four verses, al
pretty much alike. The dance, if dance
it can be called, reminds me very mucl
of the antics of Texas broncho with
long name, when he undertakes to buck
