0racefulness Is of course the highes, object of the dance among all peoples but their conceptions of what consti tutes grace differ widely. According to student of dancing. who has wit messed tens of thousands of dances In all parts of the world. who has pene trated to the interior of Africa and the desolate mountains of western China, there are three dances that. to his way of thinking. are equal In beauty. In grace and in the poetry of motion These are the dances of the Javaness Mohammedans. especially the Hove dance." in which only the younger wo- men participate; the tarantella of Christian Italy and the butterhy dance of Japan. That dancing loses h poetry. In fire. in meaning. as civilization in- creases Is the belief of this student of the art. The modern dances of civilix. cd nations. especially as expounded on the stage. are not only meaningless and lacking in the beauty of the original Iance. but actually degenerate and merely physical contortions that. while they may be rhythmic and graceful. are as Insipid and as meaningless as the waddle of q duck.-Chlcago Trib- une.

SPECTACULAR RUNAWAY.
Sam Munch and His Two Daughters
 Were in the Team.

A bay horse attached to two seated Concord and driven by Sam Munch ran away on Lake street at p12 o'clock to-day, says the New Brit cin Herald. The outfit contained Mir Munch and his two daughters, Celia and Jeannette, aged respectively Is and II years.
 The cause of the runaway was at tributed by Mir Munch to the break ing of a trace, which caused the horse to bolt. and he dashed up Lake street toward Grove Hill at top speed. dragging the vehicle by one trace.
 Mir Munch, realizing that the horse was beyond his control, directed his children to climb over the back and jump out. Jeannette leaped from the Concord when opposite Lake court. She fell and was rather severely bruised. Her sister. Cecilia, and MT Munch jumped from the conveyance at Russell street. and although they both fell to the ground they were not hurt. The horse continued up Lake street and turned into Grove Hill. He was finally caught near Black Rock. The vehicle was practically wrecked.

If no compli- cations set in Walsh will be able to pitch again. He was pitching in a benefit game.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Appropriation d s17.5oo n,de Fol
 Putting Clark Street in Condition.

The board of public works met last night. Mayor Thoms presiding, and made few slight changes in the esti- mates. notably the taking of S17,500 from the item "Streets--new work, ," and making a new item of 1t under the heading "Clark Street." thus cut ting down "Streets--new work" to $S2,600, but making things pretty safe for Clark street in case nothing unexpected turns up to mar the plans. The grand total of the amounts asked for in both districts is $42l,300. The estimated resources foot up s224.900.
 The water rents for the past six months were received and referred to the collector for collection. They amount to $90,775.79. an increase of $4,710.90 over those of the previ- ous six months. which shows that the water rents are creeping up, not withstanding that. some of the largest consumers are not paying anything at all for the service.
 Commissioner Dennison called at tention to the condition of Sylvan avenue from point few hundred feet south of Luke street to the Pearl Lakes road, and requested that some thing be done with 1t. Mir Dennison said there is growing district out there that appears to be overlooked, and as they are rate payers and en- titled to the same consideration as others in the outside districts, he thought they should be given fair ly decent street for the winter. Commissioner Walker said it was nothing more than a country road. and besides he didn't think many used it, but he was assured that there Is very large amount of travel out that way by factory hands, being the main artery to the center from the southeastern section of the city. The superintendent was instructed to make such repairs as are necessary on the street
 The superintendent of streets was authorized to employ Westley Brad field, government forester, for two weeks, to give lessons to some of the city employees regarding how to take care of trees.
 William Grilley of Waterville was heard in reference to damage caused to his property on account of surface water. He was obliged to make pro- vision to protect himself at his own expense and thought the city should compensate him. The mayor in- formed him that he would have to appeal to the aldermen. A South Main street woman who is going to build complained that at the request of the city she kept back twenty feet from what she understood to be the street line, and now they want her to shift ten feet more. It looked. she said, as if they intended to have her believe that the front of the lot Is in the rear. The matter was referred to the superintendent of streets for investigation and report.
 The board approved bill of $294 for Mrs Hattie E. Peck of West Main street. the same being an award of damage when the street was widened
 A communication was received from the Real Estate Owners asso- citation asking that water rents be rendered monthly and that meters be installed wherever city water is used. It was ordered on file.

TIE KLoNDIKE ELEPHANT
PuaDIe Who Got Stuck Want the Ciy X to Hslp Thom Out

MOoely every Otuer mhn you Moot will tell you he knows all he wants to about municipal affairs, but when you get down to business 1t develops ! that few pay much attention to such things. If not, why is 1t that men, 'tion of the North End Klondike should create such a furore of ex- |citement at this time when as a mat }ter of fact 1t is pretty old and has long since been recognized as one of |the worst deal that ever was pawned of upon the taxpayers of Waterbury. Of course there is'noth- ing very certain about the city's re- sponsibility in the premises even now, unless. perhaps, the action talk ! on by the Elton administration might Etend to show that the city had as- k~umed responsibility for the condt-
 kion of the streets The place was
 worked on to the town in a W
 (which according to the records don't
 make 1t appear quite clear that the
 city Is obliged to do anything there
 unless the streets are laid out sn the
 usual way and benefits and damages
 assessed and the owners compelled to
 bay on the same basis as others. This
 s the view every administration took
 bf the question since consolidation
 hntil last year when few very good Bakers jollied the Elton board of
 public works into passing a vote in-
 Ptructing the superintendent Of
 Streets to do some work there. It is
 Understood that that was the enter
 Ing wedge, but whether that is so or
 hot is something people look at diff
 ierently It would cost about $60.-
 boo or $75,000 to fix up these streets,
 Rnd it is doubtful if that would do it.
 Everybody who has the property now Erails at George Lilley. the original [owner, but if they made poor bar Egains from Liilev or others who had purchased from him 1t is quest If they have anybody but themselves Ito blame. But in any case the city
 has the elephant and the officials Iwho allowed the ''beast" to feed, Ieven for once at the public crib, de- serye the se-arest kind of censure. lAttention WIS first called to the property in question seven or eight lyears ago when George Baker start led to build houses on the top of huge
 rocks and dispose of them. Almost all the smart people in town own something in the Klondike at the
 present time and while all of them
 swear at Lilley the whole of them
 were attracted to it because they
 thouk It there was money there, and.
 there is. provided they can get the
 city to develop it.

 Very Close Game,

Baltimore, Md, Oct 31.A-At 1S- inch balk-line billiards, one shot in, Willie Hoppe defeated Jake Schaefer at the Criterion here last night by 500 to 470.
 In a twenty-five point, three-cush- ion carom game. Schaefer defeated Hoppe by two points. The balk-line game was the more interesting, and 1t was anybody's until the last three innings, when Hoppe struck his championship stride and made enough good runs to win handily.

NEW OUTLAW LEAGUE.
May Knock Out the Pacific Coast
 League If Successful.

Johnstown, Pa, Oct 3l.--lt Is learned here on the very best of au- thority that a new outlaw" league to be composed of Tacoma. Spokane and Seattle. Wash: Portland. Ore: Butte. Mont, and Salt Lake City. utah. will be formed not later than Christmas. This probably means the disruption of the Pacific Coast league as it will bring about the withdrawal from the organization of Portland and Seattle. two of its best towns.
 Mir Lucas. a former Influential factor in Pacific coast baseball. Is spoken of as the head of the new league.
 The proposed league will not en- brace the National agreement. pre- ferring to get even in the future for some faneied wrongs.
 Seattle and Portland are desirous |of withdrawing from the Pacific Coast league. owing to the long Humps Necessary and loss of many |days making these trips. A meeting |of the promoters of this league will be held in Portland within siv weeks

About 800 people were present The decora- tions were novel and were some of the nattiest of their kind ever seen in the city. A person glancing round the hall would almost think that this was the day of witchcraft upon be- holding images of the old danes on flags here and there in the galleries. The moon as we'll as the stars had his inning for several cuts of his physiognomy were to be seen in the hall. The stage was prettily decorat- ed with ferns, flags and paper images showing that the Daughters of Isa- bella have some ability for decorat- ing. More than 600 persons par ticipated in the whist contest as some beautiful prizes were given the winners. When the whist was over and the floor cleared of the tables dancing was indulged in.
