The young people who indulge
in the dizzy waltz will hear with
interest that the heads of New York
and Washington society have de-
clared that sitting OUT waltz
will be more fashionable from now
on than dancing The sitting OUT
embodies the same position as
dancing the only difference is that
you sit instead of dance. The mans
right arm is around the girls waist
while his left hand holds her right.
Her left hand is placed upon his
shoulder, while her head rests low
ingly upon his bosom, and all they
have to do is to sit and listen to the
music. Now, this is something
like it.
One of the strangest characters
of nature that newspaper man
meets almost daily in his travels, is
the man who thinks that news.
paper should pitch into somebody
all the time. He would make the
newspapers sort of smut mill fol
somebody to dump his suspicious
i'll feelings and slanderous gossip
into. In nine cases out of ter
these fellows are cowardly, anc
would not make their complaint
to any man face to face, but they
would rejoice to see the newspape,
man peddle out the miserabl,
yarns to people.

Gorton's Ministries will appear at
the Gross odera house on Thursday

from the Bangor, (Me.) Daily News
of Aug. 26, 1899, indicates that the

day sadly lack-some good singers,
and the audience on Saturday night
recognized this feature with gen.
erous applause. w. n. Ratigan has
a tenor voice that most OF the opera
singers might well envy, and his
singing of "The Message Of the Bells, !"
was one OF the most pleasing things
lately heard IN this city. Edward
Anderson has a musical bass, in
grateful contrast::to the fiat Sub
CELLAR bassos generally beloved
from the minstrel stage, and, like Mr..
Ratigan, he received merited encores.
The. quartet including these two
voices was also very effective. The
second part was made up OF the

musical comedy was altogether

Wonder showed surprising agility as
acrobats, and Mr.. Sanford's whistl-
ing solos were a delight to the
audience. 1t was a clean, bright
en- tertainment, all through, and the
company ought to prosper any
where on the circuit"
