BALLET DANGERS SHOES.

She Buys Them by tho Gross and Wears
New Pair Each Night.
A premiere danseuse. while waiting
in the wings, handed a New York
World reporter one of her slippers and,
speaking about it, said: ~ wear the
German shoe because I am "a German,
but the Italian shoe is more, durable.
The toe end of all ballet shoes is lincd
with three or four thicknesses of can
vas. This makes corset, or, you may
say, box. The toes fit in compactly,
or else we'could not stand upon them.
Being pressed together, they are much
stronger. The corset-box is about the
length OF the first toe; ali, yes, you call
it the great toe.
This shoe looks to be easy to make,
but they are not made in the United
States. Some of the costumers make
the imitation shoe, but we cannot
dance in them. The ballerinas buy
them. The prcmicrc3 get their slippers
from Berlin, Milan or Paris, according
to the nationality of the danseusc. The
Italian shoe is, perhaps, the best. 1t
is more comfortable to the feet; the
toe end being much thicker we can
stand on tiptoe without much pain.
You will see that the sole of the shoe
comes to within about an inch of the
tip end of the slipper. If the sole was
longer we could not rise upon the toes,
because it does not bend like the can
vas box.
1.-THE German slipper is of finer tex
ture and is not SO thick at the toe
This is the reason that German pre-
micrcs do SO little pirouetting, and.
perhaps, they make more artistic poses
than the other schools. We could have
the corSct-boX made thicker, but tn
German court preScribcs the mode of
making the ballet shoe as it does the
entire costume. In this country where
the German rules are not binding,
still use them well, because ! am Ger
man, maybe. These shoes cost one dol
lar each by the twelve dozen. All, yes,
by the gross. Thank you.
"a pair lasts one night; maybe two;
never longer. Then we use them in
practice; give them to ballerinas or
maybe dance in them at the matinee.
In standing upon the toes the satin il
torn and soilcd, too. A pair of ballet
slippers weighs about four ounces, ac-
cording to the make. The German
shoe is the lightest. Keep that one, SO
you can write something abont our
slippers" concluded the premiere. n
she bounded upon the stage and walked
down to the footlights upon her toes.

CirIn cunIStantial Evidence.

The Spring Union tells a story
Of the late Geo. w. Stearns. He was
defending young fellow for larceny,
the evidence against whom was only
cIrcumstantial. Stearns urgei that
circumstantial evidence ought never
to convict man. "Why said" said
the counsel, "when | was boy re-
member a playmate of mine who,
while his parents we're absent, went
into the pantry and nearly dev0ured
big custard pie before he thought of
the paternal strap. When he did he
looked around for some means of hid
ing the traces OF his guilt. He saw
the family cat in the corner, and taking
puss by the neck he carefully smeared
her paws with the custard, took the
guilty cat out into the back yard and
shot her. AS the shotgun rang out
the boy observed to me with IA chuck
lie: There goes one more victim of
circumstantial evidence" The Jury
disagreed

Issuing. Bonds.

Another issue of bonds seems i'm
minent. It is beautiful game that
is being played by the bankers OF this
country, aided by fnanciers. A lot
Of bonds are issued to keep up the
gold reserve, and sold for gold which
is drawn out of the treasury for the
purpose Of paying for the bonds. If
the Governments credit is good for
the bonds. we do not see what use
there Is in issuing them at all, as it
would be Just as good for treasury
notes issued for the purpose of tiding
over the present bankrupt condition
of the country. What is the use of
gold reserve at all if it is to be made
the plaything Of hond brokers who
use it to increase their hold on the
wealth of the nation? The gold kings
seem to have the upper hand just
now, but we look forward with conf
dence to the time when their rule
shall come to end. and the nation
shall be governed in righteousness.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Mr. Robert
Hatcher. of Lafayette. was notified this
afternoon that he will on next Monday
be formally appointed one Of the reading
clerks of the House of Representatives. The
second reading clerk has been selected in
the person of Hon. L. L. Lampson. ex-
Lieutenant Governor Of Ohio. The Indiana
contingent is deeply gratified at Mr..
Hatchers appointment and with good rea-
son. The place is worth $500 a year and
is one Of the most responsible offices Of
the House. Every new clerk of the House
finds that the most difficult Office under
his charge to ill is the selection of suit
able reading clerks. The large salary al
ways attracts a crowd OF applicants, all
of them with excellent Endorsement, but
few with corresponding abilities. The prac-
tice has been for years TO make the Sc
lection by the survival of the fittest. All
the applicants are tried day after day
In the House and so by process of elm
ination the two best readers OF them all
are finally selected. That Mr.. Hatcher
would be chosen has been evident for sew
eral days. His reading has shown an i'm
mediate and intelligent grasp OF the text,
his voice was strong and clear and.
while penetrating, was agreeable; his
elocution was faultless. The most
convincing proof Of his merit he
furnished during the Barrett impeachment
resolution proceedings, when he read page
after page of printed matter with so much
force and emphasis that one Of the oldest
members Of the House, General Wheeler, OF
Alabama, came to him during the day and
congratulated him, saying that in nearly
twenty years service in the House he had
never heard such excellent reading. Speaker
Reed, too, has expressed his entire satisfac-
ton with Mr.. Hatcher. so that the Indiana
representatives are tonight posing as pub
Tic benefactors in having indorsed and
pressed Mr.. Hatcher for the place.
Mr.. Hatchers ability Is well remembered
in Indiana, having been the reading clerk
of the State Senate. He brings to his new
and more important post the benefit OF a
large foreign observation. During his long
residence abroad Mr.. Hatcher has studied
the legislative bodies OF Great Britain.
France, Germany and Italy. and is, there
ing OF parliamentary bodies. The readers OF
the Journal will no doubt recall with lively
pleasure the excellent letters written by
Mr.. Hatcher from Paris several years ago,
when his keen understanding and graphic
description OF the varied phases OF French
life and manners were commented on by
readers far beyond the confines of his State.
