AN ELECTRICAL DANCE,

Decidedly Novel and Unique Party
Given by Mr.. e. Leroy Miller.
Mr.. E. Leroy Miller, until recently
of Spokane. Wash, but now of this
city. gave what was probably the most
novel and unique dancing party ever
attempted in the city at Forney's hal!
Tuesday night. The party was in ev-
cry way success, and was attended
by 200 couples. SO large a crowd was
present that the guests had to be des-
ignated by colored ribbons, and given
floor space one color at time. The
program itself contained fifteen dances,
and like number of extras kept the
dancers busy until / o'clock this
morning. For each dance some appro-
pirate electrical effect was displayed.
The opening number, waltz, April
Showers" had for its effect RAIN
lightning and thunder, all produced by
electricity. 1t was so novel that the
dancers stopped to witness the effect
rather than the dance. A military two
step that was especially popular had a
salute of one gun. the putting out OF
the lights and the sound OF taps, all
produced by electricity. The good
night effect, with the Home, Sweet
Home medley the music, was cap
tivating. An angel was suspended
bearing the words good night" as the
music stopped. over 500 incandescent
lights of red, white and blue skia-
scope and three stereoscopes We're used
in producing the color effects of vari-
agations and solids. Mrs. Jones or
chestra furnished the music for the
evening, and Mr.. Roger Armstrong had
charge of the electrical effects.

Club With Talk on South America.
Rev. John r. Crosser, of KenWood,
ILL.,, who substituted for Raymond Rob-
bins before the Searchlight club Tues
day night, gave a most interesting and
instructive lecture on South America,
and more especially Argentina and
Chile before small audience at the
Railroad Y. NJ. G. A. Rev. Crosser. is
one of the most pleasing speakers who
has ever appeared before the club, and
while his audience was not as large
as usually attends the gatherings of
the sclub, those who did go were re-
paid.
Rev. Crosser said comparatively little
was known about South America in
comparison with the knowledge we
have of Europe. He said South Ameri-
ca was also greatly misunderstood, and
while great deal Of the country was
wild and undeveloped many of the
cities were as modern as the largest
cities of the United States. He referred
especially to Buenos Aires, the capital
Of Argentina republic, and the largest
Of the South American cities, as being
as modern as New York City. He
credited it with population of L.
0DO, 900. From Buenos Aires Rev.
Crosser took his audience westward
with him across the vast plains of Ar
gentina, one Of the greatest cattle rails
ing countries of the world, where the
climatic conditions cure the grass for
winter forage like it does in our great
western ranges. He spoke Of the no.

Himself on Candidacy of

POPULAR DEMOCRAT HERE
Mr.. Bryan Refused to Discuss Himself
as His Party's Presidential POSSIBLE
ity-"conditions Changing Too Rap
idly to Write Platforms" He Said
Lectures at EIdora Today.

William Jennings Bryan, who may
correctly be termed one Of the most
popular democratic figures of the
country, was in the city this morning
asked for statement regarding both
his possible candidacy and prospective
campaign issues, Mr.. Bryan judiciously
refused to either commit himself ON
whether or not he would be candidate
OR what the issues might be.
When asked by a Times Republican
reporter IL he would stand for nominal
ton or, II nominated would he accept,
Mr.. Bryan begged to be excused from
discussing his political future because
of the distance which separated the
present from the next presidential
campaign.
do you think" Mr. Bryan was asked,
'if any phase OF government ownership
will become one of the leading issues
of the campaign?"
1T Is too early" he replied, ito write
platforms or frame issues. Conditions
are constantly and so rapidly chang
ling, that it cannot be foretold what
effect acts of congress will have and
that question can not be answered, ex-
cept by guessing, which I do not care
to do.

also exert an influence. But as a

what the issues will be-"
Mr. Bryan is out on a two weeks
lecturing tour, which will take him as
fas east as Indiana.
Comparatively few knew that Mr..
Bryan was in the city. but during the

ST. VALENTINES DAY.
The Good Little Saint Will Hold Full

Sway Thursday-comics Waning.
Thursday is st. Valentines day, and
the little fellow promises to hold full
sway. Every child in the kindergartens
and lower grades of the public schools
has been busy for a week or more
making valentines, and red hearts and
forget -me- nots, together with arrows,
are being used in hand work decora-
tions for love messages to parents and
friends. Comic valentines, which have
been SO profusely used by the naughty
little boys, with teacher or big sister as
a victim, appear to be on the wane.
There are not SO many comics sold as
in former years, altho the number dis
posed Of for penny or even two for a
cent, is still sufficiently large. Post
cards are being used for valentines this
year in large numbers, and some Of
them are even more disgusting than
the old-style comics.
Z Many valentines Of somewhat
unique character have found ready
market this season One is in the shape
Of a little pasteboard box which, when
opened, discloses an alarmingly life
size lobster, which jumps out at the re-
5clpleHI from Tue eilu OIL a SlflIlS at
tached to the pole held by a pretty
pasteboard fisher maiden, and tells one
just what he is.
Another valentine novelty is very
complete little telephone which asks,
May ring you up February 14?"
Still another is miniature suit case,
tied with bridal white satin, labeled,
"Cupids Beach," and 1--WE Are Mar
ried" Another favorite is little card
bearing the inscription, You don't
know" followed by little gauze
bag containing real beans.
While there are many Inexpensive
valentines on the market there are
others that come far from being
cheap. Some sell as high as $12, being
an arrangement Of lace, satin and
verse.

IN their effort to buy groceries cheap
" they were simply enriching pro-

SCOPE OF JAP EXPOSITION
Display at Toxic TO he a COmpre-
henHive showing of Resources
of the East.

TOXIC, Nov 22-Viscount KanelSo, di-
rector general Of the international exposi-
ton to be held in Toxic in 1912, at a dinner
given to the foreign ambassadors and min
insters to Japan at the Mobiles club an
nounced the scope of the exposition. He
said that exhibits would be admitted free
OF duty and that 1t was expected the COM
prehensive exposition of resources OF the
east, wherein the west would participate,
would inure to the benefit OF the east. He
attributed the advance of Japan to the
early introduction Of the Indian religion
and Chinese philosophy. which enables the
japanese to grasp the sciences brought in
later by their benefactors from Europe and
America.

was assured that all countries would par
tcipate In the exposition, which would
prove a new motive and means for q
rapprochement, which would guarantee the
peace Of all the nations concerned.
Minister of Agriculture Matzudka said
that the relations of japan with foreign
countries were never more cordial than at
present, and they are daily growing more
so. He expressed his special qualification
at the unofficial intimation that America
would participate in the exposition.

congruous elements composing the gov
ernments so-called ''bloc" or conservative

signed primarily to exclude the clericals
from political powers. depends for success
on the harmonious action of the two con-
servative parties, the national-liberals and
the three radical groups. The utmost the
government can expect is that the group
will act together in support OF distinctly
national measures, like military and naval
matters. The budget itself, however, will
expose the group to a serious strain, par
ticularly in its military features owing
to. the heavy increases in the army and
navy. The total increase in the expendi-
lures Is $3s,25O,OO0
