DANCER is in VOGUE.

Not Only Music Halls, but Theatres,

LONDON, July 6.-The vogue OF the
dancer seems to possess all London.
Every music hall makes dancing the
chief feature Of its program. Tonight

principal theatres. lsadora Duncan.

the most enthusiastic reception OF the
present season.
She appeared with dozen young pu-
pills In dances and choruses from
Ciluck's "Iphigenia in Abide" she

WANTS MORE DETECTIVES
Honest Merchant Thinks This Means
to Break Tn ..Fcuccs.

Writing to The Times Dispatch, a
we'll known merchant suggests that
the City Council organize detective
force which will be sufficiently large
to have Il man placed at the door OF
every house suspected of being a
"fence.'' This of course. would be i'm
possible. 1t would necessitate heavy
expense. and might make the city
liable to a suit for damages. That
there are fences" existing is a we'll
known fact. and the present detective
seroe is working quietly to break them
II their present practices keep UP. it
is more than likely that an ordinance
will be introduced in Council requiring
second hand stores to make written re-
ports. as is now done by pawnshops.
IN this way traffic in stolen goods
could be effectually stopped.
The names of those now making
their living-and a good deal more
by receiving and selling stolen prop
erty are we'll known to the police au-
thorities. Every now and then one Is
caught. and the penitentiary is his
