"On with the dance


The above prOgramme-inscrIptiOn

that everybody was there and all try
ing to dance and be gay
The grand march was struck up at
promptly nine o'clock and soon seventy
couples were weaving back and forth
through the hall, and had not space in
terfered the number could easily have
been one hundred. Fully two hundred
dancers were there besides one humid
red spectators. After the grand march
and until four a. m. the scene was one
Of swaying humanity intoxicated with
the dance. Five extra numbers we're
danced besides the twenty-fOur on the
programme. The evening costumes Of
the ladies, many Of which we're indeed

admiration
At II O'Clock the musical programme

with a rich, sweet voice Miss Young
displays thorough training in her sing
ing. Miss Susie Boyle, Of Smith Cen
ter, followed with Dreaming" a very
pretty song and sang in good contraIto
voice. Mrs. A. D. Stewart was accOmp-
anist for both Miss Young and Miss
Boyle. Mrs. A. G. KauIitz and Miss
Mabel Odeu played a piano Duet,
which completed the musical prog
Tamme.
The opera house was profuseIy dec
GRATED with flags, bunting and ever
green, and the effect was brilliantly
shown by the illumination from many
gas lights. Refreshments were served |
throughout the evening on the stage
Of the house by the ladies of the Epis-

Mr.. CRIMES TALK
Claimed He Discussed /" Per-
quisites'' of Treasurer's Office.

There is a new feature which is likely
to be introduced in the Frank Grimes
case in the shape of testimony from
members of the legislature and Republi-
can politicians, who are said to be ready
to swear that both Mr.. Grimes and Mr.
Burton intirnated, soon after the treas
Erer was inaugurated, that the various
perquisites attached to that Office made
it the most desirable, from a financial
standpoint. of any in the state house.
While the. prosecution declines to dis
cuss this feature of the case and refuses
to admit or deny the contemplation of
such a movement, it Is clearly apparent
that, following Frank WilIard's depOsi-
ton, these additional charges are to be
brought out, unless the Willard depOsi-
tion ends the case
The Willard deposition is just now the
principal topic of interest in connection
With the details of the case which have
been made public. However. there is a
chance that this feature of the case will
be overshadowed by bringing the alleged
Burton and Grimes incident into court
1t is claimed that in working to defeat
the bill pending in the last legislature,
comforting upon local banks and mu-
inequalities the power to borrow state
funds upon approved security, Mr..
Grimes in speaking to his trusted friends
urged them not to support this bill be-
cause it would deprive him of the same
opportunities which other treasurers
have had to profit by this Office
This charge Mr.. Grimes, as he does all
others, emphatically denies. He claims
that he has never had, at any time,
conversation with members of the legis-
lature, politicians or bankers which
could in any. manner be construed to
mean that he was working the situation
for what he could get out of it in the
way of interest on state funds left in the
local banks.
The prosecution of this case, in exam
lining the bankers, asked if Mr. Grimes
had carried an account as an individual
with any of them. The answer to this
question was invariably NO
The bankers were asked why it was
that when the state funds were in Mr..
Grimes name as state treasurer they
indicated in statements made for pub
lication.
The bankers explained that all of these
funds in the bank were carried under
the head of individual deposits.
The lawyers for the prosecution did
some lodging around the bankers to de-
velop additional information concerning
the methods of the banks in handling
the state moneys but elected nothing
OF Importance. One of the attorneys
for the prosecution urged that the bank
ers be asked if the state money. so car
ried in the banks. was ever loaned out,
but for some reason this question was
omitted from the examination of wit
neSSeS.
This is one Of the possible features of
the case which has been omitted along
with the examination of witnesses con-
cernins the attitude of the trea surer
with reference to the proposed law con-
sidered by the last Legislature.

stealings by the Gang of Which Capt.
Carter Was the Head.

New York, Oct 1S.-Edward L. John
son, of New Orleans, was the first wit
ness called before Commissioner Shields
today in the proceedings for the removal
of John T., W. L. and w. T. GaynOr and
B. D. Greene to the Jurisdiction of the
United States court in Georgia Mr.
johnson is the bank examiner who pre-
pared an exhaustive analysis Of the ac-
counts Of Greene and Gaynor for the
work done by them in the harbor Of
Savannah and rivers in Georgia The
analysis purported to show exactly what
became of over 81, 900. 900 paid to Greene
and Gaynor by the government on
checks drawn by former Captain o. NJ.
Carter. 1t also purports to show that r.
T. Westcott, Carter's father-in-law, re-
ceived one-third of the amounts divided.
1t not only assumes to show that West
colt received this money, but that he in
vested it and turned the bonds thus pur-
chased over to Carter.
Mr.. Johnson, cross examined by Abra-
ham J. Rose, attorney for the defend
ants, said the statement was prepared
from the books of banks and brokers
in this city and elsewhere where the de-
fendant had accounts The period COW
cred is from 1892 to 1897. Mr.. Rose at
tempted to show that the amounts in
vested by Carter were altogether dis
prODortionate to the sums he might have
invested if he received as alleged one
third of the amounts paid Greene and
Gaynor Witness stated that the SEEM
ing difference was fully accounted for by
the fact that certain payments alleged
to have been paid Carter as shown by
the analysis had not been invested by
the engineer officer at the time he had
received them. The compilation did not
pretend to show all the profits Of the
business. It showed the sums sent to
New York and which he assumed were
divided into three parts

CADETS DISCHARGED.
Thirty West Pointers Found Dehcien
In Their Studies.

Washington, Oct 1S.-Col. A L. Mills,
superintendent of the military academy
at West Point, has made his annual re-
port to the adjutant general.
He says the health of the cadets has
been excellent, though many cadets have
had trouble with their eyes. 1t is hoped
that their condition win be improved
when new gas burners are instituted in
the academy.
He recommends more time for drill
regulations. Thirty cadets were found
deficient in their studies and were dis
charged
He highly. compliments the graduating
class of this year, who were ready to
take up their duties when joining the
troops He speaks in commendatory
terms of athletic sports, and says that
the football match between the military
and naval academies causes no relaxa-
ton of attention to studies. He says
there-l9sss been an absolute end this
summer OF the particularly extreme
forms of hazing the new cadets, which
were referred to in the last annual re-
port. This condition has been brought
about largely by the voluntary action OF
the cadets themselves.
He reneWS his recommendation that
the cadets at West Point be placed upon
the same basis as the naval cadets in
the matter of pay, as there is a differ
ence now of $3.50 year in favor of the
naval cadets.
The superintendent devotes the greater
part of his report to an earnest plea for
sion to West Point, to which end he
suggests that the secretary of war be
empowered to prescribe these require
mentS- He lays particular stress upon
the fact that the entrance examinations
a present correspond closely to the edu-
catiOnal qualifications Of pupils of the
public schools just emerging from the
primary grades. According to the COM
missioner of education, pupils of an av-
erage age of fourteen and a half years
in the public schools have these quail
f1cations. Yet the average age of the
applicant to West Point is above, and
boys at that time of life should be
equipped with high school education in
cluding subjects which are not a.ow a
part of the entrance examination at
West Point, but which should be in the
future. The superintendent says it
would be in every way advantageous to
have the relations between arithmetic
and algebra and geometry be made the
same as now exists in the public schools.
There is no desire that the entrance ex-
aminations should be made more diff
cult but only that it should require what
the public schools of the country supply
