NOTES ON DANCING.
New York Evening Sun.

Mr.. Walter Humphrey, a London
professor OF dancing has this to say
on the subject Of the American woman
in the ball room: "Englishmen cannot
admire the art Of the ball room as
taught In the United States II violates
every principle OF graceful motion.
American ladies are especially ridicu-
lous when they try to dance. Their YER
teal demonstrations are exaggerated,
not to say grotesque Their bodies sway
about absurdly and they attempt to
lead rather than follow their male
companions" In dancing, as in other
things. the English take their pleasures
sadly. They go on the theory that to
be In good taste you must steer your
partner around as II you were at a
funeral. The late lamented Lord Byron
would never have condemned the waltz
II It had been practiced in his day as ii
Is now.

THOUGHT HE HAD DOYLE
POLICEMAN SHIPLEY'S EXPERIENCE
IN KATE MACk'S HOUSE
Followed Supposed Murderer and
Was Interfered With-WOman
Says He Hit Her.

AS echo of the police chase after
Charles Doyle, the colored murderer, who,
with razor nearly decapitated Harlan
Dent, also colored last Thursday evening
in the stables of the United States Express
Company, complaint has been made to
Major Sylvester by Kate Mack, colored, OF
No. 18th street southeast against Police
man James Shipley of the ninth precinct.
The complainant alleges that the police
man made forcible entry into her resi-
dence last Friday morning, and in doing
so assaulted her and used unnecessary
force and harsh language toward the in
mates.
Shipley, in his reply to the complaint.
states that on the morning in question all
the policemen in HIS precinct had been in
structed by Lieutenant Daley to use their
very best efforts to capture the fugitive
murderer. Policeman Shipley was conse-
duently on the Qui vive, and having re-
ceived Information that a colored man an
swering Doyle's description had been seen
going eastward along Massachusetts ave-
nue. he hied himself along that thorough
fare
After proceeding short distance he
caught sight of colored man in the dis
lance, who was in his shirt sleeves. with
his coat across his arm. The man was
hurrying along and Shipley. believing he
was the badly wanted murderer. made a
series OF short cuts across lots and through
alleys to overtake the supposed fugitive
The coiored man suddenly disappeared
from view and Shpley oyerhauled an old
negro. who informed him that the suspect
ed party he had been pursuing had taken
refuge In the house occupied by the Mack
woman,
Greeted by Alleged Threats.
The policeman says he addressed the
woman in gentlemany manner and re-
quested permission to go through the prem
ises in quest of the murderer. He claims
that his request was met by a prompt re-
fnsal. accompanied by abusive language
and threats that he would be assaulted by
the inmates should he attempt to search
the house. Realizing the Importance of
thoroughly searching the place. and be-
lieving that Doyle was secreted therein,
he went through the premises, despite the
threats, abuse and an attempt to assault
him with a cobble stone. but did not find
the man he was looking for.
Policeman Shipley disclaims using any
abusive language himself, and to en-
plcying violence. he says he merely showed
a colored woman aside when she tried to
bar his entry. The police are Indignant at
the action of Kate Mack and say there
should be stringent law to punish per
sons who try to obstruct policemen when
they are searching for murderers and other
feions. especially upon such information
as Policeman Shipley had received.
