Has a Great scheme.

Jerry Collins in the Board of Health Of
flee, has a scheme for the destruction of the
fleet of the Spanish Admiral Cervera in
Santiago bay the very audacity and bril-
liancy of which has attracted the admira-
ton of those of the other city employees to
whom it has been diagramed, and they now
look on Mr.. Collins as fitted to be a member
OF the strategy boa tha He proposes the
bay and drawing out the water, thereby
leaving the Spanish fleet stranded. The
double excellence of his scheme is shown
in that he would transport the water to the
camp at Chickamauga and appease the
burning thirst of the thousands of soldiers
there He regards this as a much better
method than the establishment of beer cam
teens.

Dancing teachers who have observed the
work of Titenia. the remarkable little per-
former at Fair Eank this week, are mar
yelling at the anarchistic fashion with which
this Ohio girl has violated all terpsichorean
precepts and ancient legends of the profess
sion. Tftenia dances all sorts of steps, from
the highland fling to the cake walk on her
toes. exhibiting a power of endurance and
grace that has always been claimed to be
acquired only by years of practice from
childhood. With T9tenia, however, the old
school notions for premier work are rid
died. She is said to have grown up like
any ordinary American girl, with no thought
of the stage until a little over two years
ego, when, after. about three months Of
dancing lessons she made her debut at Salt
Lake City and then went to New York
where she remained the entire season and
became popular performer at Roster &
Balls and other music halls. The following
summer she played an engagement in Lon
don and is engaged for this summer in the
circuit of fifteen cities where high-clasS
open-air vaudeville performances are to be
given. 1t was said of Titenia that dancing
comes as natural to her walking and
that she had no trouble to learn the toe
dancing, for which accomplishment America
has nearly always gone abroad for its stars
Tttenia's foot is peculiarly small, short and
plump and in recent New York interview
she said any girl could learn to be premier
danseuse In few months If her foot had
the proper formation. Titenia will remain
at Fair Bank the rest of the week with a
