THE MUSCLE DANCE.
1t VIII Be Permitted in Mid Form
in Cairo Street

There was a select coterie of spectators
at the Turkish theater on Cairo street, at
the Midwinter Fair grounds, Yesterday
afternoon after the regular performance
for the day had closed. Secretary Frank
J. Kane, Attorney James 7. Sweeney and
Director W. Scheppler, of the Pacific So
ceiy for the Suppression of Vice, a num-
Der Of Police Court clerks, representatives
OF the press and a few concessionaires
formed the discriminating audience.
On Sunday afternoon Mr.. Kane n ad or
deTed one OF the dances To be elimIn ated
from the programme on account of the
peculiar movements of the dancers alb

in Cairo street The muscle dance. or
d anse du ventre, as 1t is called, is consid-
cred the piece de resistance of the Turk
ish theater With it cut out, the conces-
sionaires saw ruin staring them in the
face.
The programme yesterday afternoon
was arranged for Mr.. Kane and the direct
orS of the society. to afford them view Of
the dance in a milder form, and see if il
then would meet with their appreciation.
But two of the dancers appeared. Other
portions of the programme had been
passed as unObjectiOnable, and these two
dancers, to the music OF their dane g
companions, appeared on the stage.
One of them was a large woman of a
very well developed frame. She wore a
light pink jersey, which fitted her form
very closely, every movement being plainly
visible. From an anatomical standpoint
the movements were simply wonderful, but
as a dance 1t would hardly pass muster in
a ballroom.
The second dancer was dark-skipned
Egyptian girl. whose movements were even
more surprising than those of her prede-
cessOrs. Her dancing was less graceful
but decidedly more muscular. though she
evidently did not let herself out. At the
conclusion of her dance all present except
the members of the society and the news
paper men applauded her quite heartily.
Secretary Kane was evidently satisfied
with the purifying result of his visit on
Sunday. He told the concessionaire that
with certain movements eliminated, the
muscle dance" would be permitted. bft
that at any transgression or overstepping
of the limit laid down the dancers would
be arrested. All seemed satisfied with the
result.
The dancing girls receive large pay for
their services. The lowest salary paid is
Sc per day, and that TO those who only do
pirouetting. The women who do the mus.
Gle dance each receive $40 per day. lyon

said the concessionaire, yesterday, there
everything went; but in San Francisco.

sigh. and wended his way over the sand

SAD ENDING OF A ROMANCE.

romantic streak in women no man would

Fellows had not had an unueu4lly wide

would not have allowed Chaska, a noble
red man of the Ssntee tribs, to marry her.
This streak led her to pour contempt on
all the remonetrances of her family and
other friends, and about three years ego
che became the wife of her beloved brave.

ITALY's WOMAN POET.
1t Is ssid that in Italy, the land of song,
women poets are rare. The advent then of
one who is "a singer by the grscs of God"
is worth noting.
Ada Negri is young, only twenty three,
the child of poverty, making her way by
ths force of her own genius, but already
her work has received the recognition 1t
deserves, and the government has endowed
her with money prizs which is reserved
for any italian woman who distinguishes
herself in literature. Moreover, she has
been removed from the little echool In an
obscure village of upper Lombardy, where
she was teaching, aud cent to Milan to
teach the Italian language and It's htera-
ture in the Normal school.
Her peasant mother worked and starved
to keep the child in school, and the daugh-
ter's affection and reverence for the
mother, her appreciation of every sacrifice
made for her sake, are clearly revealed in
many peem.
There was bat one profession open to
Ada Negri, that of teaching. She taught,
and wrote, pouring out all her aspirations,
her discomfort, her courageous defiance of
penury and trouble, and her sopgs and
sonnets, almost unnoticed for three years

recognition and reward, and now the
| white haired mother, sadly broken by her
life of toll, and the spirited. gifted dsugh-
ter are living in what to their modest re.
auirements is q luxurious home, and an
honorable position has been Won.
| In ono of Ada Negri's strongest poems
which bears the half defiant title, ''Good
Day, Want" she tells of her privstioni
and struggles, of almoet crushing poverty
and yet the story is told cheerfully, with
out any pessimistic complaints or futil'
whining. 1t bresthes of courage and loft,
purpose in every line. She loves to sing O
the people, of their joys and sorrows, ant
of toll. She has an intense tenderness
for the poor, the friendless and suffering
