And kisses and burning tears.

There is much excitement at Dali

to buy the electoral vote of that
state, by George Gould and John D.

manager Baker. of the W. U. Tele-
graph Co., messages as to the mat
ter, and he refused to give them
up-he was given until this morn
ing to produce them before that
body.
One of the kilograms demanded
by the Grand Jury is alleged to con-
tain an offer from George Gould and
John D. Rockefeller, the telegram
having been sent to general ]. N.

"You are authorized to offer $40,-

Nimble dancing is not only a

amusement. No more enhvening
spectacle can be produced upon the
stage than that of a large number
of dextrous dancers. On the pro-
gram of the AlG. Field Big White
Mlnstrels and Utopia is a dancing
festival entitled The Frolics of the
Blackies fashioned somewhat af-
ter Palmer Cox's Brownies. In
this act more styles of nimble dan
cling are introduced than we ever
remember of seeing before. Doc
Quigley, as an eccentric dancer, has
never had an equal: the contortion
of his limbs and body coupled with
the grotesque manipulation of his
feet makes him seem like a MARIO
nette constructed with springs,
Tommy Clarey is very clever dan
Ger, as are Messrs, Highland and
