dancing is still an elegant and graceful

People are more interested ~ it and dance

the contrary notwithstanding" -.
Mrs. Milward Adams agrees with Mr..
Strauss, speaking from his point of view.
':The ballet in Vienna she said has
5deteriorated into a series of gymnastic
performances in which difficult feats are
attempted. There is nothing rhythmic
abontsit at all, while on the contrary the
French or the italian ballet tells story
or represents life, Rhythm seems to me
to afford a new method of expression,
graceful outlet to internal emotion or
thought. Dancing seems tofbe 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.' s:ats go

dancing is the popular foible of the mo-

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

Pension List Growing.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Pensions to
soldiers serving in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war have been granted only on ac-
count of gunshot wounds and perman-
ent disability, and to widows as bhe re-
sudt of the death of husbands in service
There has been total Of 299 granted,
but two widows and two soldiers to
pensions We're granted have since died,
leaving 295 on the list Claims have
been filei to the extent of 10000.
Only general information will be
given at the Pension Office relative to
the pensioners added to the rolls in
consequence of the Spanish war, atten-
-on being called to the action of Con-
gress when an effort was made last
winter to have the pension rolls pub

asked today to make an estimate based
upon the claims filed as to the extent
the pension list will be increased,
said it would be impossible at this
time to give any reliable opinion as to
what extent the more recent war
would increase the pensions.

justice Everett held that within the
law the followers of the faith healer
must resort only to spiritual and mem
tai means of treating the sick. When
these means are not resorted TO solely
and material means are used, then the

medicine has been violated. The

Our Military Preparations.

The government at Washington is
reported to be preparing for a thor
ough campaign in the Philippines af-
ter the rainy season is over. There are
TO be three regiments of cavalry sent
there, and the horses in them are like
ly to be of a character such as the peo-
pie of the island have not been accus-
toned to see. They should be able to
get over the ground after a fleeing enc
my in manner that is a novelty there
and the climate at that time is not
likely to be a severe trial on item.
It is contemplated also, to furnish the
army with an equipment of rapid fir
ing guns, which will give it an ad-
vantage in open contesting which it
has not had before. There seems to
us to be little doubt that the American
troops are to push things" very much
in earnest. The only doubtful feature
of the military problem is as to how
for the Fillipinos are to be enabled to
elude our soldiers. We shall know bet
ter about this when we have occupied
and garrlsoned the chief points in the
Island of Luzon, which we appear to
be certain to do before the next cam

Jones' Candidacy.

Mr.. F. L. Dustman, of the Toledo
Blade, was in the city yesterday look
ing over the political situation. He
found it rather dull in the line of news,
and eft on the afternoon train for his
home. Speaking of the proposed guber-
natorfal candidacy of Mayor Jones,
Mr.. Dustman said: IF John r. Nc
Lean is nominated for governor by the
Zanesville convention, Jones will be a
candidate. II Kiibourne, or any other
man than Mclean, is named, he will
not be. That is che whole matter in
a nutshell. The friends OF Jones are
lining up things on that proposition,
and that will be the result"
What sort of race will Jones
make, If nominated?"
Some people will be surprised by
Jones You will find if he stands for
governor, that ne will have a lively
organization. 1t will be no prohibition
shdeshow. Jones has plenty of money
and he is willing to part with it. He
also has friends throughout the coun-
try who believe in the Jones fads,who
will be more than eager 60 contribute
to the money end of his campaign
With Jones in the race there will be
speaking in plenty, orators in evidence
all over Ohio, and a lively canvass
everywhere. Jones will push things" "
with Jones in the race, what will
Lucas county do?"
Henry r. Niles says that with Nc
Lean and Jones in the race, the latter
will poll two-thlrds of the Democratic
vote in Lucas county. That may be a
bit strong. but the great majority OF
his supporters will certainly come from
the Democrats There is no doubt
about that proposition, so far as Lucas
