The annual May ball of Prof. E. Morti-
mer Caruana's class OF fancy dancers was
given last evening DIT the Academy Of
Music. The group dances were given in a
way which showed the result Of excellent
training, and all of the solo dances were
rendered with skill and careful attention to
details, while the stage effects, superinte tend
ed by Professor Caruana, added much to
the general taking quality of The different
features. Among the best might be men
toned the original gaiety girls, a chameleon
dance,with splendid light effects; toe ballet
by six dancers, midair dancing, the flying
bat dance, double fancy quartet char
acter dance. the French quadriile dancers

queens OF May and fairies We're crowned
with appropriate ceremonies. A "Trilby'
act, with little dancer, and Mr.. Aaron
Stern as Svengali. was also a feature, the
little one dancing in bare feet. The ball
was brought to an end with a sailors bal
let, in which all the class appeared with
Prof. Caruana himself as the soloist, in q
sailors hornpipe. No encores were allow
ed, but, as 1t was, the program lasted until
nearly II O'Clock. The theater was crowd
ed by the friends and parents of the little
ones, and generous applause was given all
OF the performers. Pleasing interpola tons
were given by the Madrids, consisting of
Messrs. Yundt, Gallaher and Holmes, in

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
We read about the arrest and incarcera-

Humane Society? Read the account in a
morning paper Of the arrest and imprison-
ment In common criminal cell of a child
who was kept there all night in mortal
dread, and for no other offense than riding
bicycle without a lamp. Visit the sta
tlon mouse; then ask yourselves If any
cruelty was inflicted. Ant-Division Asso-
c.atlon, Is IT best to redeem those that have
already fallen, or support from tumbling

congregational Districts,

Today there are four districts for silver
four set down for sound money and
three are doubtful. 1t may be that the
seven win declare for the single gold stand
ard, and 1t may be that but two or three
will do so.
The silver men will carry the first dis
trict; Paducah and one or two counties only
will go for sound money.
The second district will go the same way
Rhea, the silver leader, will carry the
third district. The fourth district is also in
that column.
The fifth district, which is composed of
jefferson county. including Louisville, is
the stronghold of sound money and should
go solid!y. In the tifty-frst Legislative dis
trlct, composed of the eleventh and twelfth
wards or the city, the silver men are max
ing nSht, and claim its tWenty-siX votes
The sixth district is Carlisle's district

The seventh district is the most uncer-
tain. The fight will bring out w c. p.

and & renewal of the did fight made on him

The eighth district Is also a fighting
ground. 1t is most doubtful and either side
may yet gain it.
The ninth district will probably be found
in the sound money column, though moth

The tenth and eleventh districts are rea-
sonably sure to go for sound money.
Even If the sound money men carry The

The biggest sensation In base ball circles
since the purchase of Kelly and Clarkson
by the Boston club has been caused by the
announcement that ]. Earl Wagner of the
Washington Base Ball Club had offered
President Freedman of the New York Base
Ball Club $4,000 for the release Of Pitcher
Amos Rusie, the highest offer ever made
for ball player. 1t is said that cor
respondence looking toward the release of
Rusie has been in progress for several
weeks between Messrs. Wagner and Freed
man.
Freedman, 1t seems, wB willing to con-
slider offer from the Washington mag
mates If several of the Washington players
were included in the deal. This proposition
Mr.. Wagner would not consider even for a
moment, but Wednesday he dispatched Mr..
Schmelz to New York, with Instructions
to bid as high as $1,000 for big Amos.
AS darkness approached Mr.. Schmeiz
wired that Freedman refused point blank
an offer of $4,000, and thereupon authority
to go as high as ST., 500 was telegraphed.
that he would not accept $4,000 in cash for
Rusie. Thus the proposed deal ended.

Work of the Silver Men

When the Kentucky legislature adjourned

be reelected United States Senator, vowed
that he would carry Kentucky for free
sil"er. He went to work at once with his
forces to organize the state and push the
fight Money in abundance was sent in
from outside: Stone and Tillman were
brought in to speak, and silver literature
was scattered broadcast. Blackburns fol-
lowing is devoted to him. with zeal that
is almost fanatical. and they left nothing
undone that could insure his success
Most striking in contrast. was the apathy
of the sound money men. They did prac-
tically nothing. Carlisle, Lindsay and Nc
Creary have failed to lend any help The
organization has been imperfect, and none
but local speakers have advanced the
cause.
