the primitive miners cradle are among
the number which are promised to be
forthcoming when the fair opens, and it
has been suggested that they might be
accompanied by some of the actual
prospect holes dug by those bare-armed
monarchs of the potential shovel, but
there seems to be no certainty about
that, and the attendant expense would
probably be too great.
One thing is definitely settled, how
ever, about this Nevada camp. and that
is that the veracious Sam Davis of the
Carson Appeal is to run an antique log

lar screamer of frontier weekly. to be
called The Sagebrush Selfcocker. 1t
will be printed on Il hand press, without
any of the modern improvements, and
will be filled with just such items and
editorials as appeared in the columns of
its prototypes of 40 years ago. Bret
Harte, Mark Twain, joaquin Miller and
other pioneers in literature on the Pacific
coast will be invited to contribute, but
Sam Davis will ordinarily keep the col
umns full if he is not lynched too early
in the game.

When the congress of religions was
held in Chicago, Miss Frank, the young.
est delegate present, was invited to open
the proceedings with prayer, and those
who heard her said it seemed as if she
were inspired. She has already gained
considerable fame as n lecturer and
made two notable addresses in Chicago,
one before the congress of representative
Jewish women and the other before the
Grand Army of the Republic on The
Daughters of the Republic"
Miss Frank began her career as a pub
lie teacher in the Sabbath school of the
Oakland synagogue. She was very sue
cessful as teacher of children and soon
undertook Bible class for older stu
dents, to which many of the adult men,
bers of the congregation We're attracted.
The synagogue had no rabbi then, and
Miss Frank was invited 10 lecture before
the congregation, which she did with
great success. She is an excellent He
brew and German scholar and has from
childhood felt strong inclination for
Hebrew history and philosophy. Her
name is Rachel but she is much better
known by the moro familiar Ray.

the far famed Castilian dance.
While it is possible, and even probable
that Americans will not agree with all of
the young ladys conclusions, they are ex-
ceedingly interesting nevertheless.
What is the Spanish dance! 1t ia an in
spiration, IA poem of passion expressed in
motions instead of words. 1t is not a mere
matter of certain steps. The movement Of
the feet counts for little; the motion of the
body is everything.
How did l learnt? l did not learn it; it
came naturally l do not think any one can
learn it, though practice, of course, is nee
essary. No American girl can acquire it.
Only woman with the Spanish blood and
fire in her veins can feel it. If she does not
feel it, she cannot dance it.
My ancestors for ever many genera
tions have been Spanish people. l was born
in Spain and began to dance soon after
learned to walk. l used to occasionally go
with my mother and father to the opera
and when we got home used to amuse my
mother by trying to initiate the dancers

tells me that when was a mere baby could
lock my feet behind my neck. So, sup

and in Mexico picked up what little there
worth learning in the Mexican dances.
When l went on the stage, didn't have
any very definite idea of what was going
to do. l just danced, and I've done the
same thing ever since. l practice three or
four hours every day and try new steps, and
new poses, and new kicks, and so make up
new dances, but | couldn't tell anybody

hard work. Another very difficult pose is
that in which turn my body to one side
and support myself on the toes of one foot

is thrown forward, and it is very hard to
prevent falling.

dance. Just think of a German singing

idea of an American woman trying 70 ex-

course any woman who is bright and grace
full can learn the steps and go through with
them after fashion. But in our dancing
the body plays an important part, and the
American women whom l have seen try
the Spanish dance either kept their bodies
almost rigid and made the dance ridiculous
or else overdid matters and made the
dance immodest. With a woman of my

the feelings; with woman of another ma

tray passion and is almost certain to be
disgusting. LOLA YBERRI.

HAVANA, Nov. 3.-The steamship City OF
Alexandria, belonging to the New York
and China Mail Steamship company, from
Havana and Matanzas for New York, has
been burned at sea
A small boat, in which were the second
officer and IL other persons from the City
of Alexandria, entered the harbor here and
reported the loss of the steamship. They
state that an explosion occurred on board
the steamship and that shortly after the
explosion she was burning iercely The
cause of the explosion is unknown.
The fire gained such Roadway that Cap
tain Holman saw it would be impossible to
save the vessel. and orders were given to
abandon the ship. The steamship had 400
hogsheads of rum ON board, and this, when
it caught fire, caused immense masses of
flames to ascend from the hatchways, the
matches having been blown Off The scene
OF the burning Of the steamship was only

Ordered to Abandon ship.
At first there was great excitement
aboard, but the Officers soon succeeded in
restoring order, As soon as the fire alarm
was Sounded the crew went to their fire
stations, and the stewards began to carry
provisions to the boats There was com
paratively little sea running, and not much
difficulty was found in lowering away the
boats when the hell forward tolled the sig

command of the several boats-the captain,
first officer, purser and chief engineer-had
little fear of not being able to reach this
port or some other place along the coast.
In the first moment Of terror several men
are said to have jumped into the sea.
Those who arrived here in the small boat
said that 90 had been drowned, many OF
them through the upsetting Of boat
