IL is a grand achievement which the
British have made in the Sudan, ter

expression as central Asia. The Anglo.
Egyptian forces are actually, by the VIC
tory at Khartum, masters of the Afri-
can continent. The defeat and disper-
sion of the war tribes bordering the
BlsS ard White Niles, the unseating Of
Islam in central Africa as a conse-
quence and the complete destruction Of
the African slave trade mark new

embraces dancing masters from most of
the large cities and social conters of the
country.
One of the first now figures TO bo adopt

probably be the most popular is called "The
Dewey" Admiral Dewey, who has already
had numerous babies and cocktail named
IN his honor, was formerly a popular leader
OF the german, and since he has shown
that society man may be the best kind
Of a fighter no will probably not resent
this addition TO the honors thrust upon
him by the dancing masters.
The bombardment of Manila is the
theme in the Dewey figure, and Of course
it will call for a great display Of patriotic
colors. The figure was introduced by
Adolph Newborger Of New York. In the
first movement the dancers are arranged
in parallel columns and then march in and
out with telling effect. 1t is suggestive,
with not too much stretch of the inagina-
tion, of lines moving to execute a strategic
play pt battle,
Finally the dancers are arranged in two
opposing lines, the ladies forming one and
the gentlemen the other. Then at the sig
nal the bombardment begins. On tha
floor are the stocks of ammunition, con-
sisting Of confetti balls, and at the word
the combatants seize the agents Of parlor
warfare and hurl them at their adversaries.

thrown, and the colOred paper ribbons
which they contain are sent Tutoring
arcund the ballroom. Finally there is a
complete capitulation, the partners waltz
or two step, and Dewey is again declared a
hero victor.
Another one Of the figures adopted also
based on war lines, was introduced by Mr..
Newberger and is called the camping fig
ure. For this figure tents made Of tissue
paper are placed in each corner Of the ball
room, and tho gentlemen conceal them
selves therein, three or four in each tent,
each gentleman sticking just a finger

| ladies circle around the tents to the left,
and at a signal catch hold of one Of the
protruding fingers and proceed to draw its
owner through the tent and make him
captive for the dance,

spirit of war finds expression are "ThC

There is military flavor about nearly

terpsichorean autoorats, the members OF

gentlemen met tho othor day in New York
and debated, with as much gravity as If
the affair was of as much moment as the

new dances which should be adopted for
the coming season. That they have not

the fact that the country has been ut war

In the new german figures war pre-

Nothing has done so much to encour-
age stealing (shoplifting) as the modern
department stores and their methods.
The problem presented is a difficult one
with which to deal, but while mer-
chants have a right to display their
goods the public also has rights and
duties in the matter. If banker dumpn
his cash ON tables outside his desk rail
ings and let's people handle it at will,
he would not get much sympathy when
he complained that it had been stolen,
and if he continued the practice because
these losses were more than offset by
the increased profits which the display
resulted in, as is the case with the de-
partment stoves, there would be much
justice in the claim that he had no right
TO make profits by any method which
tended to debauoh the public In short,
it may fairly be maintained that 1t is q
prime duty of every citizen to exercise
reasonable diligence In safeguarding his
own property, and that If he neglects
this he becomes in a measure msnact

Out to the spacious park they went, and
the obliging host teed the tNll and wag-

generals expectations were running high
as he carefully observed the impressive
preliminaries.
Presently there was heavy thud, a
flight of turf, and the little ball still sat
on the tee. Again, and yet again thud,
heavier than before, with turf still flying,
