DANCING TO CURE DISEASE

Dancing is not violent exercise as
practiced to day, yet 1t brings in play
all the muscles. Ancient doctors rec
commended 1t as cure for spleen. va
pors and melancholic affectations, as
we'll as agues. jaundice and rheuma-
tism. 1t is mild form of exercise
which II indulged In moderately can
not but do one good as we'll as mako
one graceful.
In the earliest ages dancing was ad-
vocated as a cure for sickness. Ly.
curgus brought back from India and
Egypt to Lacedemonia notions OF med
ico-religions dances and enacted that
the Spartan youth should be brought
up gracefully and symmetrically. In
Greece Socrates commended dancing
with view to educating the mind and
body, for he looked on 1t as a health
giving device.
A recent writer on the subject says:
"As for dancing. to persons in health,
/ shall just take leave to observe that
We by no means ought to make a toll
OF our diversion, by making 1t one
continued scene of action, lest we ex-
haust the spirits and enervate the body,
but to sweeten and relieve the active
pleasure by frequent intervals of re-
freshment. by which not only the bad
effects which must Of necessity be the
consequence. Of long, uninterrupted
succession Of motion will be entirely
prevented. but the body, by such agree
able exercise. will gain strength and
vigor in the action and be more en-
abled to persevere and keep up its
economy"

FRANCE LEARNS A LESSON.

A superficial glance at the new reci-
procity treaty with France would lead
one. to believe that the United States
was favored nation and that our
Gallician friend had gone out OF his way
to confer benefits upon us. A knowledge
OF the true condition Of affairs, however,
shows that France cut her nose to spite
our face and the operation was a very
painful object lesson-one that taught
her what has become apparent TO the
balance OF the Continent powers, that
this country is the commissary OF Eu-
rope. The United states passed tariff
that increased the duty on French
argols-wine lees, an alcoholic product
parasols and art goods. France, in a
peevish spirit OF retaliation, doubled the
duty on American pork, beef and grain,
products actually needed by her people.
Up went prices; her people began to
grow hungry and bread riots started
The French government saw its mistake,
acknowledged the corn and signed
reciprocity treaty by which she kind
ly" consented to receive our food pro-
ducts that she could not 20 without.
All Europe, as we'll as France, need us
in their business. We are to the Con-
tinental nations what Egypt was to
Israel during the seven years Of the lean
kline. Our exports of provisions for the
past fiscal year we're the greatest in our
history, aggregating SSO0,000,O0O. We
sold the old-world 100000 worth of
-four every working day in the year. A
larger consumption oil our corn is also
noticeable, 1t is fact that Europe is
growing more and more dependent on us.
The American farmer is master OF the
situation and when Johnny Crapeau, or
any other European, rebels against the
power Of our agriculturalists he hits
himself blow in the stomach. When
the old-world powers threaten TO form an
all-Europe combine to wage a CONNER
cial war on all.America we can laugh at
their threats while we pity them in their
impotence.

WARLIKE
ENCOUNTER.
Warm Social Amenities At a
GrowIer Party.
Psacsmaksr Gets What Hes Not Locking
For
NOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN

Blessed is the peacemaker" but
when he starts to do his peacemakiDg he
should ncase himself In armor plate,
especially IL he exercises his peaceful
mission at the growler party. This is
the conclusion arrived at by Thomas
Ryan.
A "growler party" was the high-toned
function that was participated in by
Beniamine Matttingly, Thomas Ryan
and Ben McQuady, on Saturday after
noon.
The scene OF the event was in the
rear OF the Bowmer building adjacent TO
the river bank.
Bacchus was enthroned and his trio OF
devotees pledged each others health in
many bumper filed with the amber
colored contents OF beer keg
All went as merry as marriage ellis
until, in moment Of mental exhilara-
ton, the party began to discuss the
burning questions Of the hour. AS a
result great minds clashed and the
oratorica contest that ensued would
have caused Cicero to blush.
During the alteration Mattingly and
McQuady questioned each others game
ness and a head.end collision was
threatened. Ryan, the mutual friend Of
the combatants, wanted to promote
good feeling and interviewed in the
quarrel.
He met with the usual fate of the
peacemaker.
Mattingly fred two shots at Ryan and
the latter returned the fire but both
seem d to have taken lessons in pistol
shooting from the Spaniards and no
damage was done. Ryan, however, was
not content to abide by the result OF his
Workmanship and he hit Mattingly
over the head with his weapon inflict-
ing several bruises and a flesh wound,
which were dressed by DR.. Owen.
The combat attracted large crowd
among them City Marshal Hall, who
arrested the principals in the affair
They were both examined by Police
Judge Skillman Saturday afternoon, and
each were placed under $3.50 bond,
which they furnished.
Their preliminary trial will take place
this afternoon.
The affair was very unfortunate one
a the three young men implicated have
hitherto borne good regulations. They
are honest and industrious and their
parents are the very best people in the
Balltown neighborhood.

SOME SUGGESTIONS
That a Local ROOter Has to
Make.
Would Lin the "LosevllIes' out Of the
"Aiso Ran" List.

The most enthusiastic base ball fan in
the state Of Kentucky is Emil Nolte, Of
this city.
This is no exaggeration. He cannot
help it as he was born that way.
Emiel is hero worshipper but all
heroes that are not connected with the
diamond look alike to him. When it
comes to tolk on baseball matters he
is walking encyclopedia of information
and his knowledge of the game and all
associated with it is simply out Of sight.
He is an ardent friend of the Colonies.
By the way, he calls them the lose
villes, and you can tell by looking at
his countenance whether his favorite
team has won or lost.
"The guys talking through his cha.
peau that says the colonies are a lot of
cheap skates" says he, "They've been
playing in the toughest streak Of luck
that ever happened.
1.-THE Louisvilles could be made strong
team If these changes would be made"
he continued. "If l had the team
would get Jack Stivetts, OF Boston, who
could be had for Magee and put him on
first base. I'd try ClingmRn on second
base and give Wagner a final trial on
third, his old position. l would leave
the outfield as it is, and by all means
would secure a catcher that could catch
as we'll as hit"
1t would be pretty good idea for
Harry Pulliam to let Emil sub for him
for awhile. The chances are that the
Colonies would get out of the "also ran"
list.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

The United States are under moral
obligations TO annex Hawaii. To fail to
do so would be a dishonorable Sinking
of responsibility. We are responsible
for the birth Of the Hawaiian republic.
Our protegee is "chip of the old block"
and it is incumbent upon us TO treat it
as a legitimate child rather than a
loundling. The conditions that now OBJ
tam make it imperative that We enlarge
our commerce and increase our trade
territory. By taking possession OF
Hawaii we strengthen our hold on the
Philippines and make ourselves the
dominant power in the Pacific. The
reasons for annexation are good and they
meet the approval Of the people. The
new Americanism that has as It's slogan
1.-THE world is mine oyster" demand that
the stars and stripes be hoisted over
Hawaii as strategic move that will give
US a cinch on the commerce OF the
Orient.

WHEAT CROP AND PRICES.

An enormous wheat crop, estimated at
800, 600, 900 bushels is looked for in this
country this year. The high prices that
have prevailed increased the acreage
from 80, 900 in 1897 TO 4S,5l0,OOO this
year. The prospects for an unprece-
dented yield has affected the price and
on Monday July wheat sold down to sc
cents. This reduction in price has
caused Europe to send in big orders and
she lie now an extensive buyer. The
worlds market is bare Of the old crop
and shortage Of production in Europe
will again give us dollar wheat.
