A little italian woman, who was the
original premiere danseuse of the
BLACK Crook company thirty wears
ago and at that time received the larg-
est salary ever paid a ballet dancer in
this country, has recently opened a.
school of dancing in this city. Despite
the TACT that she is now about fifty
years Old, she is as slender as a girl of
sixteen, and more supple than the av-
erage stage dancer much her Junior,

an, professional or not, who followed

the beneficial results of women's inter

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Col Joseph E.
Zayas, who says he is accredited by the
Palma Cuban junta of New York as
minister plenipotentiarY to Great
Britain from the Cuban republic, in an
interview, is quoted as expressing the
belief that the war in Cuba will not
last another year. Spain, says Col.
ZayaS, cannot finance the campaign,
and should have accepted the insur.
gents offer of $50, O0O 900 for the Is
land under the guarantee of the United

assistance from the United States. All
that the Cubans desire, he says, is fair
play and the recognition of belliger-
ent rights SO that they can secure the
necessary supplies for their troops.
In conclusion, Col. Zayas is quoted
as saying:
There is no truth whatever in the
opinion expressed in England that
Cubans desire annexation to the
United States. We are Sighting for
Independence, and do not banker after

More than half the Tea consumed in the
United States and Canada is of Japanese
growth, yet, the majority of Americans ap-
parently do not understand how to prepare
it SO as to develop the delicious qualities
which it contains. The Japanese Govern
ment has appropriated large fund to aid
the Japanese Tea growers and Tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational work,
and 1t is hoped that American ladies will
be apt students. The main Bureau of the
Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official
recipe for making Japanese Tea, the transla-
ton of which is as follows:
First.-Use. small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot.
Seeonds-Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each clip of tea desired.
Third.-When using JAPANESE teas, pour
on the required quantity Of fresh boiled wa.
ter, and let stand with closed lid from. 9
to 3 minutes. Never boil the leaves. In
order to retain the natural flavor, Japanese
tea leaves should be kept in tight can or
jar, free from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of japanese Teas,
neither sugar nor cream should be used.

Forclble disqualification OF 1.-THE Dan-
gers of Great CITY, Came to the Pa
irons OF the Robinson Opera House, Gin
einnati While Watching a Play by that
Name-Three Persons Killed and a Large
| Number Injured.
| CINCINNATI, Oct. I6.-"The Dangers
of Great City," on the stage Of Robin
sons opera house, was cut short in its
performance by a tragic realization OF
the actual danger of a great city.
The house was fairly well filled, not
| crowded. "A little before $3.50 last
night lady in the audience says she
heard a creeping noise which con
tinued for five minutes before the
catastrophe. She gave it little atten-
ton, thinking it was part of the per-
Torrance. Presently the plastering
began to fall, in small particles first,
but enough TO alarm some of the timid
or cautious, who retired.
| a little later the plastering began to
shower down in great chunks. 1t came
from that.part of the ceiling which sup
ported the dome. There was a rush
from the gallery, which was not very
well filled. The balcony was soon
emptied. Those in the dress circle re-
tired as promptly as possible and,
strange to say, without an apparent
panic.
The crOwding of these to the door
INSTRUCTED the passage of the people
from the parquette, which accounts in
a measure for the number of casualties.
Nobody expected at that moment any
other danger than from the falling
plastering. Suddenly, and with great
crash, the great central truss of the
ceiling, 50 feet long and so feet
wide came plunging down. The ends
of it struck on the two gallery wings
and doubled it up in The center, send
ing it down into the parquette with
great Settlement OF joists and timbers.
Nothing on the stage was harmed. OF
course there were means of the in
jured and, as often happens, loudest
from those least hurt.
The news spread rapidly and there
was rush of patrol wagons and of
tiremen TO the scene. The salvage
corps with its wagon was first on the
ground and it was followed by all the
police patrol wagons, which carried the
injured to the Cincinnati hospital.
NC AlSI dI IHS nOSplGd showed three
dead, five dangerously. if not fatally,
wounded and 20 more on less seriously
injured.
In addition to these large number,
probably % or 80, were so slightly in
jured as to be able to walk home. OF
the dangerously injured at the hospi-
tai several will require amputation,
yet every one is refusing to submit to
the operation. A score of surgeons
volunteered their assistance to the
hospital corps. A sufficient number
was accepted.
The scene in front of the hospital
door was a sad one. Hundreds Of peo-
pie gathered there cIamoring for the
names of the injured. An attendant
stood at the door with a list of those
brought to the hospital, and answered
these anxious inquiries. Many names
were inquired for that were not in the
hospital list.
