Louis Hoffman Rolled One Around a
 Block.

From the New York Commercial.
 Louis Hoffman of 69O East Thirteenth street successfully rolled peanut around the block bordered by Avenues A and B last night. and thereby paid a week stand ing election bet to Peter Stark, a Seventh avenue man. MT. Hoffman was dressed in Gaelic running costume. and accomplished the rolling with toothpick. Peter Stark led the band. The occasion was one of great rejoicing on the east side-red lights were hung from the tenements along the route, the windows were full of peering faces girls and boys danced on the walks to the notes of the band and a bowling mob, that packed the streets to the curbs, rushed after the expert Louis, and cheered wildly when the circuit was completed.
 Apparently MT. Hoffman had practiced the performance. He rolled the peanut so fast that in some places the crowd had to break up and run Two men, literally smeared with burnt cork, supported him by ropes around the shoulder, two more kept police lanterns focused on the nut. and the wild Louis sped along. The band were dressed in various costumes, from Carrie Nation disguised to polka-dot jump CTS The leader waived an Indian club and at certain points executed kind of whrling dervish movement. The man at the bass drum punctuated his efforts by shooting off a revolver, which seemed to

 Some yards of the wall have evidently yet to be brought to light, and in this connection 1t seems a matter for regret that some steps can not be taken to pre- serve such a fine stretch of ancient ma sorry. Today the excavated portion puts one in mind of some fine old castle ruin, the Illusion being heightened by the fact that immediately on the top of the old Roman wall Is some masonry which Is evidently of mediaeval period The wall itself goes right down to a very black soil. which leads some to think there may have been a sort of backwash of the Fleet somewhere in this neighborhood in former times

 The Japanese girls who danced at the exhibition of 1889 became the rage. Their dances were ritualistic, as were those of the Greeks at their religious processlons. Isidora Duncans are evidently thought out, and prompted by personal impulse She must know that she has a statuesuue figures and a pair of faultless feet, and may have sought for opportunities to show them without any inconvenience, and found them in her pseudoelassical dances. She can invent her own step dance in her bare feet, and give full fling to the dictates of fancy, and she is not the slave, so far as her muscles go, of pro- fessional training. Heva Sarcy would find herself at a disadvantage if forced into a style of dance which she never practiced and which Is not suitable to her appear ance or to the general taste of theatre goers. She is known as an operatc dan cer only. was brought up to be so and had to go through years of strenuous toil to bring the muscles up to the point at which they can execute difficulties. n The lightness of the dancers steps, in the operatic style, dependes on the hardening of the muscles by long training. Is all that to go for nothing because of man. ager's sudden fancy? Heva Sarcy thinks not.
 Ballooning, that most fashionable of all sports since Santos-Dumont made it so has lost one of it's pioneers of the pre- fashionable days. Eugene Goddard has gone out of his mind, and has been sent to a lunatic asylum. The Godards are a famous family of balloonists. Eugene, though but 30 years old, has been a pop ular favorite here for twenty years Even in the eighties he was a seasoned air wanderer. In 1S67 when he was three years old, he hid himself in a balloon car. hoping to sail aloft with his father.

A BAD LITTLE BROTHER.
He Asked the Guests to His Sisters Party to Bring Pickles and Lemons.
From the New York Press

From the New York Press.
 Mischievous William Duboise, the young son of Henry Duboise. moves furtlvely about the Dubose home in No 1219 Boule- yard, in the Hudson city section of Jersey City, these days. It was just this way:
 Willie's sister Alice, who is prominent in Hudson City social doings was to have been the victim of a surprise party to commemorate her twenty-first birthday on Monday night. Willie thought 1t would be funny to misinform all the guests as to what was expected from them, and he told them In confidence they should bring lemons and pickles. The result was sour disappointment for all. When the refreshments turned out to be all of this acid kind little Willie succumbed to the energetic spanks of Alice and mamma and ever since he has been in disgrace
 The girls and youths of Miss Alces set on the heights decided 1t would be a great idea to surprise her on her birth day and they asked her two weeks ahead if this arrangement would be satisfactory Alice was delighted and said her father and Willie both wrote such beautiful hands they would send out the invita- tions for the dance in Spitznagel hall. But on Willie fell the main task and his fa- ther addressed envelopes, while he penned the bids"
 Suddenly Willie's usually thoughtful countenance expanded into broad grin. Had not his sister said Little boys should be seen and not heard" and had refused to share her most recent box of candy with him "IIal Revenge,p hissed the youthful william What more subtle vengeance could be wrecked upon sweet Alice than by spelling the refreshment part of the programme? So the lad in scribed at the bottom of half the invita- tions, Please bring lemons" At the bot tom of the others he wrote in beautiful hand, "Please bring pickles

 "Surprise Surprlse." shouted the plot ters.
 How sudden!" gasped Miss Alice, with an effort.
 Then "Hawatha" happened and Miss Dubose's guests. or rather hosts. began a polly dance. Mrs Duboise and few friends took upon themselves the task of arranging the supper. They opened the packages. "Lemons. pickles pickles lem ons" Not even a ham sandwich to vary the monotony.
 "AIice." cried the distracted mother. She sobbed on her daughters shoulder and the secret was out. In another five minutes the friends had vanished to neighboring restaurants and the Du- boises were left to sob alone, and Willie joined in the chorus for a moment, then laughed It was a relief that Alice and her mother found some one on whom to vent their feelings. Willie got the worst of 1t for five minutes. the instrument of torture being the lime squeezer.

DISCOVERIES IN NAVIGATE.
Part of Roman Wal Unearthed in
 London.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 The excavations in connection with the new Central Sessions House to be built on the site of Newgate have taken some- what longer than was anticipated, owing to the remarkable depths to which pre- vious structures have been found sunk in the ground Nearly every cubic foot of the vast area has had to be broken up by the pick before the shovel could be employed, the brick walls and cement foundations of former buildings complete ly covering the site to as great depth as twenty feet below the pavement level.
 In the work of demolition the laborers have constantly come across pieces of stonework and Roman walls, which had evidently been used by builders to make the foundations of even older structures than Newgate; but the most important discovery was made a few days ago when the workmen engaged in the excavating operations immediately under the old prison yard area came unexpectedly upon a mass of hard material below the found- ations of the now demolished structure, which seem to have extended to quite re- marl-able depths and in all sorts of un- lookedfor directions. The extraordinary hardness of the substance encountered, where IL was thought nOInlDB louBHeT than London clay would have to be dealt with, occasioned some surprise and as the work was carefully proceeded with a portion of the old Roman wal was grad ually brought to light It was, moreover. in as nearly perfect a state of preserva- tion as possible. being, in this respect very different, from the fragments re- vealed against the abutting buildings on another portion of the site The authori- ties, of course. expected to come across the latter, which are very much broken up by previous builders. but the fine spec imen of the old London wall which has just been unearthed under the very foundations of Newgate is quite an un- expected find.
 The newly revealed portion of the wall, which used to extend from Ludgate on the west to the Tower on the east and from London wall on the north to the Thames on the south, is some fifteen feet high and eight broad, being made of what modern builders would call Kentish rag, of a rubble cemented together with a sort of concrete In which lime predominates, as was usual in Roman mortar. This sub stance is intersected every three feet from the foundation upward by the cus- tomary "bonding" of two rows or layers of red Roman tiles. each measuring some r inches in length by 12 in breadth, being from 111 to inches in depth. When the workmen's pickaxe had broken them they look as ''haky' as piecrust, yet the

Pay of the British Ambassador

From the London Spectator.
 We wish that we could feel that Sir Mortimer Durand in going to Washington was about to receive salary from the nation commensurate with the import ance of the post he is to fill. Washing ton is now the most important station in the British diplomatic service, and should be the best paid, even If it were not a singularly excessIve post. Yet strangely enough our ambassador in a capital where the cost Of living and ser. vice is so immensely high Is paid only 96500 year. while the pay in Paris i' f9O00, and in Constantinople, Berlin ant Vienna fs000.

scare him as much as the others. There were fireworks too.
 When the circuit was about half com pleted MT. Hoffman broke his toothpick but after a short consultation was allowed to continue without it. The procession was seriously delayed, however, at the corner of twelfth street and Avenue A. when a gentleman, whom no one seemed to know, who had been prancing in front of the band in plug hat and a cape over coat, with a battered army sword over his shoulder. stepped on the peanut. He was much provoked by the accident, and stoutly denied any such intention in the matter, but looked very guilty when the bottom of his shoe was examined and the remains of the peanut were found clinging flat to it. Another nut was quickly ob- tained, however, and the march was con tinued. with increased vigor.
 When the last turn was reached the band changed from Marching Through Georgia" to MT. Dooley," at the sound of which MT Hoffman spurted and fin- ished with the crowd on the run behind him. He was very badly winded and said his back was broken" quickly re- vived, as did his followers. under liberal refreshments at a neighboring hotel.

"Hard Times" Help Chamberlain.

From the Saturday Review,
 It is rather an unhappy thought that nothing would help MT. Cnamberlain's propaganda so much as a year or two of bad trade just as bad harvest and the failure of the potato crop enabled Peel to abolish the corn duties.

the town attorney has looked the mat

questionable right Of the council to

Il have never taken much part in
this dispensary discussion" said a To-
cal business man on Thursday; but I
want to call especial attention to one
feature Of the law which, although
highly commended theoretically, Is an
intolerable nuisance practically. That
is this thing of no drinking on the
premises. People go to the dspen-
sary, come to my store and open their
bottle, and stay there until they get
drunk. 1t Is almost impossible to get
rid of them. They include good friends
and customers who are agreeable COM
pany when they are sober. The an
noyance comes not only to us, but to
others. We have to furnish, against
our will, drinking places for the liquor
sold by the state. think the people
who sell the whisky and get the profits
should furnish place for the drinking.
1t strikes me that If such a place were
furnished and properly policed, 1t
would be considerable improvement
upon present conditions"
