THE CRANE DANCE.
Where the SOubrcttes Got Their Idea For
Il Speciality.

Speciality.
There is dance called the Cranp
dance, which is popular at the vaude-
Vile houses At Lincoln park there is
real crane which does crane dance,
and those who have seen it's saitatorial
feats say the bird does it much better
than do the featherless, two legged AM
mails.
No purely initiative dancing could
fail to gain by being an exact copy Of
the performance of the long necked,
spindle legged sand hill crane. Its steps
are not only grotesque, but they are of
kind to make the gravest onlOoker lose
his dignity and laugh like delighted
boy at the circus This Lincoln park
bird ut the outset of his dance is tho
personification Of dignity When III the
days of his freedom he tripped it OH his
native sand hills for the sole benefit OF
his mate, be did so only in the spring
time, but now, in his low4y captive
state, he dances in and out of season If
the keeper who feeds him will but wave
his arms and take an awkward step or
two to give him encouragement.
The crane begins it's dance by showing
one long leg, with its claw attachment,
straight out in front of his body. Then
he lowers it aud draws it back slowly
until il is within an inch or two of tho
ground. Then there is lightninglike
double shuttle, and the other leg il
pointed to the front. Then the dance
begins in earnest. The wings are
stretched and beat tho air in perfect
time to the movement Of the feet, he
they going fast or slow. There is tho
semblance ct clog; then the sinuous
foot and body movement of the nautch
girl, aud in U moment the whirl of tho
dancing dervish, to be succeeded as n
finale by sort of wild "all hands
round" III which every feather Of the
bird is alive, ns it enters into the Joy Of
the dance with an utter abandon. The
act Of stopping is like the halt" Of the
German soldier-sudden. stiff and IL
slant. Then the crane marches away to
4 corner with still stately tread. but
with an eye which appears to reveal en-
barrassment. nt.-Chicago Times Herald.

From the press dispatches, as we'll
as private letters on the subject of
reciprocity, the inference TO be drawn
is not cheerful TO the Hawaiian
planter. a private letter to the head of
a large business house here contains.
among other things, the following
statement: In the House the Hawai-
ian exemption clause in the tariff bill
passed by bare majority. The Dem
ocratic members and three or four Re
publicans opposed it bitterly; the pull
ing over of the latter by the party
leaders was all that saved it, Now that
1t has reached the Senate, where the
opposition is even stronger, the mat
ter will have to be watched most care
fully. In the Wilson bill you will re-
member the item was almost forgot
ten!, The mistake of the people of Ha-
wall has been in shouting annexation
and allowing the reciprocity treaty TO
be lost in the din. / have little hopes
for its continuance, as the Sugar Trust
controls the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the Senate"
The general tenor of the news re-
ceived is against the treaty. and the
business men feel depressed in conse-
quence.

ONE HUNDRED TINS
Henry Peter Snags Opium
on Australia.
Nieper, ExpreSsman and Barry.
Steward, Arrested - Little Game
Was Not Successful.

The Australia arrived yesterday
morning with a quantity of opium on
board, and the Custom House officials
watching every corner and every move
succeeded, later in the day, in captur-
ing 100 half-pound tins neatly done up
20 in each Of five larger tins.
Inspector Henry Peters was detailed
by Port Surveyor Stratemeyer to
search the washing from the saloon.
This was done up in bundles and placed
on the upper deck. ]. Barry, the sec
ond steward, and one of the men as
sisted Peters in the work of searching
the bundles. Two of these were done
up well and Peters scratched 20. K"
in blue letters on each. Barry asked
if they could be taken away, and was
answered in the affirmative. O'Brien,
one of the walters, was standing near,
and Barry instructed him to take the
bundles away. Instead of taking them
directly to the wharf he took them
below.
This move seemed somewhat suspic-
ious to Peters, and he motioned to In
spector Mauoha to come to him.
1.-TWO bundles have gone below.
Chase them up and stand by them, -
said Peters. Mauoha went below, but
he could get no track of the bundles.
A little bird whistled something III
Peters ear just then. He marked the
remainder of the bundles on deck with
crosses and then walked forward with
his eyes peeled This was the chance
the people in possession of the first
two bundles was looking for, and they
passed them out upon the wharf, to-
gether with some others.
Port Surveyor Stratemeyer happened
to come along just then, and, Peters
whistling softly, held up two fingers
and pointed at the same time to the
washing being piled into Nieper's
transfer wagon Nieper himself was
driving. Stratemeyer questioned Maui
oha and obtained the necessary infor-
nation. Then he ordered all the bun
dies searched and found, as suspected,
a lot of opium in the two bundles
marked 80. X" One hundred half
pound tins in all were found.
Stratemeyer took Nieper in charge
and escorted him to the police sta
ton, where the charge of unlawful
possession of opium was registered
against his name. Later on Mauoha
arrived with j. Barry and 2. O'Brlen,
against whom the same charge was
preferred. Nieper and Barry were re-
leased on $500 bail each. The case Will
probably come up for. preliminary
trial in the Police Court today.
Port Surveyor Stratemeyer speaks
very highly of the assistance that the
boys are giving him in the work. Wig
liant at all times, it is very seldom
indeed that anything contraband,
however small, escapes their eyes.
