New York, Aug. 19.-Those young
persons of feminine persuasion who
have set New York's tongue a-wag-

the Salome dance will soon have
strong competition.
Miss Isadora Duncan, who gained
her inspiration from the ancient
Greek dancers, thereby attaining to
great fame in Europe, will begin a
New York season tomorrow under
the management of Charles Froh-

AS illustrating the great love that
exists between rival dancers, Miss
Duncan has this to say of Maud AL

The failure of the Board of Local

lead to some decided change in the
plan. More than likely this change

call for bids one was received and il
was for only the westerly portions OF
the streets. No bids at all were re

cost of filling, 40 cents per cubic yard.
Is too low and that the conditions I'M
