An Immediate Success-Twenty.
one Pupils.
When twenty-one young people
turn out to the first meeting of a
dancing school it seems a good in
dication that the project is favor
ably received, particularly since
the number OF beginners given
above represents some of the best
families in the city.
Mrs. Gnnn, the instructor. start
ed her dancing school last Friday
afternoon in the Child's Garden. Be-
retania street, and was much pleased
to note the number in attendance.
1t has not been decided Just what
afternoon will be chosen perma-
nently but it is more than probable
that every Friday will be the time.
In speaking of the school yes
terday well known lady of the
city remarked, Il do not intend to
have my children grow up awk-
ward if | can do anything to pre-
vent such a thing. and it seems
that this school is just what l want
to help me in my determination.
| have a perfect horror of seeing
my children appear i'll at ease in
society Dancing is the best thing
IN the world to obviate such a catas-
trophe. / shall send my children
to the school and try to get all my
friends TODD the same. One hour
or little more every week is GER
talnly not much to devote to some
thing so necessary to child's de-
velopment."

cepted the kind invitation of the

BICYCLE MEET LAST NIGHT.
Two Native Bows Coutcst-The
Record Broken.

| A few days since Kakalia, a
young native employed at the fish,
market, stepped up to Nir, native
boat boy, and said See here,
young fellow, l can just do you
any time at all for any distance
you may feel disposed to mention.
Yes, bicycle racing is what | mean.
You have been going around tell
ing people what a fine rider you
are and | intend to make you stop
your Dragging. Accept the chal-
lenge or be doomed forever to be
called coward"
Niu, with self-satisfied smile,
accepted the challenge and saun-
tered off to his home TO oil up his
dirt-covered chain and tie up
broken spoke or so. Kakalia walk
ed off in another direction medi-
tating on what kind of lard he
should use on his wheel for such
an exciting event. The thought
also came to him that he must put
brake on his vince! in order to
check himself should he get to
going too fast. 1t would also
be necessary to remove some
of the dirt that had been gathered
on the wheel in order to present as
small surface as possible to the
wind.
Thus in their own small ways
they meditated upon the prepare
tions necessary for the~race and the
probable outcome.
The race was called Yesterday
afternoon and in order to prevent
large crowd gathering the first
starting point was changed at the
last moment and Beretania and
Punchbowl- streets chosen instead.
At the drop of the hat the two
bicyclists bent over their handle
bars with their noses dangerously
near the front tires, and shot out
for Punahou. Arriving at Dilling-
hams corner, they turned down
and started in King street. Just
then there was an explosion and
Kakalia felt the rim of his front
wheel running along on the ground.
Niu smiled a glorious smile and
made for town, finishing on Union
Square about half or three quar-
ters of an hour afterwards, accord
ing to the official timekeeper. Ka-
kalia was game and kept on going,
but failed to catch Niu. Kakalia

a puncture in it, and the Judge

will be arranged for in the near
future. This time it is thought all

wheels to prevent a repetition of

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE
Herald's Havana cable says: Cap
tain-General Weyler's first official
day was very busy one. Its re-
suits, as far as they are known,
have left on the whole an excellent
impression. Ten political prison
ers, who, after being for some time
confined in Santiago de Cuba, were
sent here by General Pando to be
imprisoned in MORO castle, wait
ing deportation to Ceuta, Africa,
and who expected to be sent away
today, with other prisoners, were
pleasantly surprised this morning.
Captain General Weyler, when ask
ed to sign the order for their en-
barkation and indefinite imprison-
ment, called for the evidence in
the cases, examined it carefully,
and at the suggestion of General
Pando, who thought the sentences
too severe, considering that the
proof was only circumstantial,
ordered the ten prisoners released.

VAN HORN VS.. TARsNEY.
First Contested Election Case Con
sidcred by the House

First Contested Election Case Con-
sidcred by the House.
The House yesterday afternoon entered
upon the consideration OF the first con-
tested election case in which there was a
division of the Elections Committee upon
the finding-that OF Van Horn VS.. Tarsney,
from the Fifth district of Missouri.
There was besides the division OF the
committee upon political lines the separa-
ton OF one OF the members OF the majority
Mr.. Taylor, Rep, OhiO-from the recon-
mendation made by il that the contestant,
Van Horn, be seated instead of TarSney,
who now occupies it. He agreed with the
minority. which did not express an opinion.
! but recommended that the case be reopened
for a count of the ballots in the disputed
precincts in Kansas City, where the
frauds were committed upon which the
majority based its recommendation.
The adoption OF the committee recon-
mendation was advocated by Alr. Strobe,
Rep, Nebraska, in a speech Of nearly two
and a half hours. in which he set forth in
detail the extent and character of the
frauds committed and Contended that the
conditions were such that the returns
from the precincts in question could not
! be purged of its faint OF fraud, but, as the
committee had found, must be rejected
entirely.
Mr.. Taylor defended his position in an
hours speech. which held the attention
OF the House throughout and at the close of
which won him many encomiums from the
older members
He contended that the fraudulent ballots
could be segregated from the honest ones,
and it was the duty OF the House to have
this done before passing upon the contest.
He admitted his belief that If the count were
made as he recommended it would result in
demonstrating the fact that Van Horn had
received a majority of the legal vote cast.
The House at 5:05 adjourned until
today, with a prospect of spending day
or two in the further discussion OF the
election case.

that the ratio OF diseases was plainly that
of the ratio OF pumps, and privies TO the
areas in which they existed. The improve
ment in sanitation in the northwest gave a
ratio Of LII 10 SIC in the northeast.
The remedies he suggested were the
publication of the drinking water; extend
it and purify it and make its use compulsory.
Compel the connection OF all houses with
the sewerage system. As to the methods to
effect this, he explained several, as aeration,
agitation, precipitation, a chemical pro-
cess to precipitate the nOxious elements.
These clarified, but did not purify. Sedi-
mentation was a fairly good method, but
has been rejected. Filtration has been very
generally accepted, but combined with
sedimentatton it would be well nigh perfect.
1t reduced the number of bacteria to 1
per cent in Lawrence, Mass. The mortality
was reduced in the town from Ga to 16.
Next was shown a diagram which demon
stTated that, in thirteen cities which had
changed from pumps to river water. the
mortality was reduced 80 per cent. Also
a map which showed the effect of the
Introduction of filtration, and next
filtration combined with sedimentation.
Hamburg was cited 5 an instance Of the
improved health by filtration.
DIR. Busey exhibited a map OF a sand
filter, which purified the water By paSsag ge
through five layers OF sand, rocks and
gravel. The construction and working
were explained by stereopticon views
DR.. Busey said, in conclusion, that no
harm could be done by stating the facts
about the sanitary condition OF the city.
He believed on the contrary that it must
be known to be remedied.

LET MR.. WALL DOWN EASY
Exorbitant Costs in the Columbia
Fidelity Case Misoarried.
Pittsburg Court Attempted to Exact
1884 After Nominal Sentence
Had Been Passed
Especial to The Times.)

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 25.-The bold at
tempt to hold up" Andrew Wall of Wash
ington for over $500 costs in the suit
against him on account of the loose local
mana cement of the dcfunct Columbia and
Fidelity Building and Loan Associations,
did not go with Alexander Heron, the
commissioner appointed by court to take
testimony in Mr.. Wallis appeal.
Mr. Wall, it will be remembered, was CON
victed of conspiracy. On promising TO pay
the costs, nominal sentence was imposed.
1t was $50 fine and all the costs OF pros
ecution. The court supposed the latter
would amount to several hundred dollars.
When Mr.. Walls attorney asked for the
bill an attempt was made to soak" him
for 1884. This was refused. The attor-
ney petitioned the court to relax the costs.
and Mr.. Heron was ordered to investi-
gate.
Today the commissioner filed his report
He cut the costs down to $515.26. The
biggest cut was in the amount demanded
by a detective who receives $50 month
from the city. His bill was cut from $3.50
10 $1O3. The detective has hired an at
torncy, wi o says he will ask that the re
port of the commissioner be set aside.
He says MIR. Wall deceived tie court by
promising 10 pay the costs and the re-
fuSing 10 90 it. A local attorney said to-
day that Capt. Harrison Dingnlan and Mr.
Wall were lucky 10 escape from the Pitts

TO SUPPRESS OPIUM JOINTS
Police Crusade Said to Be in Con-
temptation.
Names OF the Users and Places They
Frequent BEING GuThered as
Preliminary Step.

In view Of the increase OF the opium habit
in Washington, the adthcrities yestei day
determined TO take steps toward suppress
ing the sale OF the drug.
The police were directed yesterday to
make a census OF the dope fiends'' OF the
District.
The news Of this order leaked last night
from unofficial though responsible sources.
The reason for it is that the police depart
ment desires to discourage the existence of
private dope joints"
The private joint cannot be reached di'
rectly, but tie plan, as understood, is that
the law may be- enforced a Gainst people who
sell it. There is law against TIE sale OF
dope, and the determination to operate
against the dispensers OF morphine is
brought about by the knowledge Of the
police department that the opium Eabit has
already gained a strong hold in V haShing-
ton and is increasing at Pace not sus-
pccted by people outside the inner circle.
Two years ago The police reported num-
ber OF opium dens 10 be in operation in this
city They were placed under strict sur
veillance and raided one 10y one.
They we-e finally broken up and it is
doubtful if a public joint OF the character
indicated is GUiuE business in Washington.
When the public Joints were driven 10 the
wall the private joints took their place.
1t is reported that every policeman will
make return 10 the authorities at head
quarters OF every person on his beat who
is addicted TO the habit. TIE names and
descriptions Of these people VIII bc put in
the hands of men detailed for this duty
and an effort VIII be made 10 find The
source from which the fiendS obtain theiI
supply.

After deciding upon the amount OF bail
TO be furnished Sir John Bridge addressed
the prisoners, begging them for their own
Bakes and the sake OF the country TO absent
themselves from any place where their
presence would arouse public excitement.
He further asked them not to assemble to-

might possibly disturb the public peace.
Both requests were remarkable, coming
from a judge on the bench 10 defendants
before him and showed very decidedly that
public opinion is strongly in favor of the

Of a public demonstration.
The Judge knew, as jameson and hSparty
must have known from the reception ac-
corded them today, that they had but TO
chow themselves in public place TO re-

The magistrate appeared astourded aud
angry at The cheering that greeted the
prisoners on their entrance into the court

their departure he sternly cried:

The defendants departed in cabs and
