that is certainly not the case here in
America and Chicago. OF course, looking
on at public ball the spectator notices
all kinds and styles of dancing and de-

dancing is still an elegant and graceful

People are more interested - it and dance
as well now as they ever did, Vienna to
the contrary Notwithstanding
Mrs. Milward Adams agrees with Mr..
Strauss, speaking from his point of view.
"The ballet in Vienna she said, .'has
deteriorated into a, series of gymnastic
performances in which difficult feats are
attempted. There Is nothing rhythmic
abonts it at all, while on the contrary the
French or the italian ballet tells a story
or represents life. Rhythm seems to me
to afford new method :of expression, a
graceful outlet to internal emotion or
thought. Dancing seems to4be very much
in vogue with us in ChicaSo at present
1t certainly doesn't seem to have gone
out of fashion, and I scarcely think the
art of rhythmic expression will ever fall
into disuse.'' 5: 49, le&#
q Everywhere throughout the ranks of So
ciety women opinion cofncided on the sub
ject of the Strauss Interview. Fancy
dancing is the popular foiblel of the mo-
ment and grace is an essential for its
successful Interpretation. Vienna may
have its story to tell OF decadence in
the manner of dancing the national waltz.
but here in America, and especially In
Chicago, the art was never SO valued nor
so much in vogue.

Vi 1t follows that if the sun emits neither
light nor heat but simply electric cur
rents which produce these phenomena, it
can no longer be said that the moon bor-
rows from it its gentle effulgence, and
the poet loses a subject for some of his
daintiest conceptions. What has been
with him heretofore a "full-orbed glory;
becomes simply a prosaic electrical ma
chine whose currents act on our atmOs-
phere as do those from the sun, though
to a less degree on account of differencI
in power. Science. with Its newly found
facts and progressive theories, has always
been destructive of old imagery, but the
old decisions are far less poetic after all
than their successors when the poets
minds have become readjusted to them.
But, says the practical reader, What
shall we say of the SUMS dazzle, which is
so real and so painful to the human eye?"
Simply an optical illusion. answers the
new theory. 'Such dazzling. brightness
cannot be located at the sun, neither is it
found in the black of infinite space nor in
our atmosphere; therefore it can be found
only in the depths of the eye of the be-
holder-i. e., upon the retina. :" So, too,
there is no longer such thing as a moon
beam; that which seems such is simply
IN illusion and Is no more real than the
existence of actual spots upon the surface

| When Strauss was asked the other day
In Vienna, Are Europeans losing the art
Of dancing?" he replied as follows:
! THE way the waltz is danced in Vien-
ma now is ltnWorthy of us. The fault lies,
however, not so much with the dancing
masters as with the public. who no longer
take grace and elegance into considera-
ton. All sorts of postures are adopted
in the ballroom, and no enc seems to know
how to hold his partner.
what, then, has come over the Wen
aese to produce this change? The, cause
lies in the loss of the true old German
character such as one saw in tho days
If the first Strauss. Vienna was then a
purely German town and the Germans
represented the intellectual and elegant

'Mr. Won Hamme the leading dancing

danced in Europe as ungracefully and in

much hop and too little of the glide and

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York May 20.-Transactions today
were apparently confined to dealings by
local room traders who seek a days turn
in prices either up or down. Prices in the
majority Of cases are consequently little
changed from last night. The course of
the fluctuations during the two hours
trading reflected considerable hesitation
and uncertainty in the minds of the trad
ing element. The London exchange was
closed for a holiday and there were no
quotations from that quarter to give ar
indication of the tendency of prices.
, Many stocks opened unchanged in quo
, tation or moved only u either way.
Stocks Of corporations which enjoy fran
chtse privileges IN this state were weak
on the prospect of the franchise tax bill
becoming a law, the prospect of material
modification not being considered likely.
The American Smelling stock was also
under pressure and continued rather weak
all day. Anaconda on the other hand con-
tinued its show Of strength and ended the
day 21s points higher Sugar made an
aggressive resistance to the pressure
against 1t and kept above yesterdays
level after the opening decline. There was
a dull resistance to the occasional at
tacks on the market, also by the railroad
west. Manhattan and Third Avenue were
firm early but yielded later, the latter
breaking points.
The bears were disposed to caution in
anticipation of the favorable bank state
ment, but when the market failed TO re-
spOnd, this attack was made on values.
The bank statement showed a larger in
crease in cash than was expected. The
heavy contraction in loans was, of course.
a reflection IN part of the drastic liquida-
ton of last Saturday. As a consequence
the increase in cash almost all went to
swell the surplus reserve of the banks.

recent heavy absorption of new issues of

Amalgamated continues to show en-
tire Indifference to the movement Of
the stock market. It was firm at pqr
during the Flower panic, and it has
since advanced, with other stocks de-
Ginning. An operator interested in the
property says in explanations: 1.-THE

bination has been made up to represent
one of the greatest interests in the
country It is not a speculative mat
ter, but the putting of a great business
in a form which permits investment
and speculation. Those who hold the
stock believe that the company viii
pay p. c. dividends regularly, and that
the price will in due time reach much
higher figures than those now prevail
ing.
An interesting story has developed in
connection with the rumors of better
relations existing between the Sugar
Co. and the Independent refiners. 1t
is to the effect that at Milwaukee rep
resentatives of the Sugar Co, of the
Arbuckles and of the Doeschers have
consolidated their bank accounts. Just
what is meant by this may be ques
toned, but the report that something
of the kind had been done comes very
directly from one of the parties there
to.
Anaconda was strong on buying by
London for Paris. The local buying was
still based on information in regard to
the terms on which the outstanding

mated Co.
