whom the Republican nomination for
mayor will go. To follow the splen-

mer, but In the meanwhile, political
tongues are wagging and pointing
out various men as suitable for the
place. Mr.. Earl Palmer is promi-
nently mentioned for the nomina-
ton. He was a candidate for the
nomination against Mayor Smith in
the convention and made a strong
fight. Mr.. Palmer announces to his
best friends that he will not re-enter
politics, but his admirers have not
accepted that answer as final.
The name of Alderman c. l.. Van
Meter is mentioned as a possible
candidate for the honor. Alderman
Van Meter has made a splendid
record as chairman Of the finance
committee and is well acquainted
with the work. Alderman Harry
Hank is mentioned - material for a
strong candidate. bit ne has always
declined TO permit bis name to- be
considered. Alderasn Mi Farley,
who was mentioned, has declined to
be considered in the race.
City Attorney Arthur Y. Martin
is mentioned for city solicitor in
recognition of his good record as
city attorney. The appointment is
made by the mayor. Attorney T. N.
Hazelip, who nearly carried the city
for county Judge, is spoken of as a
strong candidate for city attorney.
Little talk is heard about other

IA tremendous outbreak of ter

recently in Finland to arrange for

In Spain.

Madrid, via Hendaye, Dec. IL
Premier Canalejas has told the lead
ers of all the radical parties in Spain
that he intends to take vigorous ac-
ton against the church as soon as
the budget is out of the way, which
will be about the middle OF jan
luary.
The premier has managed to stall
of trouble longer than any one had
imagined was possible. The clericals
have been ready to put up a fight
the moment they were attacked, but
they have no disposition to force
conflict, In which they have nothing
to gain and may 'ose everything II
they are beaten. But the radicals
have been growing extremely impa-
tient at the long delay.
1t is reported that the information
was finally conveyed to Senior Cam
alejas that there would be no fur
Their waithing-that the anti-clericals
would take the offensive at once un-
less he showed some disposition to
fulfill his promises. To this II Is
understood that the premier replied
that he anticipated desperate strug-
gle as soon as he actually moved
against the clericafs and did not
want to go into it until all his prep
arations were completed. The radi-
Gals accepted this explanation but in
sisted that some sort of time limit
be fixed. There may be inaccuracies
in the details of the story. which 1t
Is possible to get only at second
hand. but that the premier promised
to open hostilities Immediately after
the budgets passage Is a certainty.
1t Is known, too. that Senior Canal
ejas explained to his interrogators
the necessity for an almost complete
reorganization of his. cabinet. upon
the loyalty OF whose present mem
bers he cannot rely in a fight against
the church. He will himself retain
the premiership. but with the excep-
ton of Foreign Minister Garcia
Prieto, there will be a change In ev-

AS RELATED TO THE COUNTRY
CHURCH.
Work i'm Which DIR. lands Ha'
Been Associated with Promi-
nent Men.

After a FIVE weeks visit through
north central. Indiana. the Rev. f.
b. lands. pastor OF the Kentucky
Avenue Presbyterian church, re-
turnel home his morning. The pur-
pose of his trip was to investigate the
conditions in country life pertaining
to the economical. educational.
recreational, social and religious CON
ditions prevailing in the open coun-
try, villages and towns. He visited
SO communities and his report made
to the Charlottesville { Ind Presby-
terry showed favorable conditions
existing.
The report which was made last
Thursday at Lafayette. Ind, will be
the basis of information looking to
the federation and closer cooperation
OF the churches in building up Chris
tian activities in many communities.
The Rev. Mr.. lands was one of
three chosen by the Board of Home
Missions OF New York City. a like
campaign having been carried on in
PENNSYLVANIA. II recently closed
with a grand central meeting at
Huntington. DR.. lands was under
the direction OF the committee of
home missions of the Crawfordsville
,Presbytery and was kept busy every
day. A similar campaign was carried
on in north central Illinois and later
in the winter a final central meeting
will be arranged This is all pioneer
work of distinctly an advanced type
and Mr.. lands selection to investi-
gate the conditions in Indiana was
quite a honor. Associated with
him were Professor Skinner, dean OF
the Agricultural department OF
Perdue University and DR.. w. H.
Wilson, of New York City. They
made investigations through the
state along their own lines.

mas. In st. Petersburg, now that Le-
gia, Lopokova and Theodor Lopokov
have gone, and Anna Pavlowa and
Mordkin are likewise in America, there
are left Matilda Kshesinskoya, who is
practically retired and dances only
when she chooses, and Preobrajens-
kaya, who is the greatest technician of
them all.
0THE Russian government adopts
the future ballet girl when she
Is or 9 years Of age She Is
chosen preferably from the home OF a
government official, as was the case
with Legia Lopokova. For the first year
OF her training she is permitted to go
to her home but later she is not al
lowed to. She is a ward of the gov
ernment and occupies palatial home
with her sisters who are learning to
dance. Rehearsals are held every day
and this regime is kept up as long as
she is an active and not a pensioned
member OF the imperial ballet She
has her own church, her own corps Of
protective police and she is guarded
with the most jealous care. Her en-
ployment is regarded as the most hon
orable, and girls from the best families
OF the merchant class are only too
happy to be selected for this service
to the czar. She is taught French and
German, and is given a classical edu-
cation When she graduates she is en-
rolled either as member of the cory
phees, which position is the lowest in
rank; the corps de ballet, which is a step
higher, or is made premier dancer, or
finally ballerina, which is what Legia
and Pavlowa are. Legia, however, is
the youngest Of all Russian ballerinas
She began her training when she was
scarcely years of age, and she has
been before the public for but little
over one year. The salary of the bal
lerina is about 5000 or 5000 rubles
year, and when she has been in the
service for 20 years she is retired on a
pension amounting to from half to all |
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-13

OF her salary as an active dancer. Thus,
at 40 years Of age the imperial Russian
dancer has nothing to trouble her ex-
cept to spend her salary or support a
husband.
Sc THE ballet is the pet OF the czar,
It costs him 2.oo0. 900 rubles year
to support. Besides his two i'm
perial ballets. one in Moscow and the
other in st. Petersburg, the car has

boys in st. Petersburg with support

be conjectured; yet, as matter of fact
and although the ballet is the especial
pet of the aristocracy, it is dearly loved
by the masses who witness the spec-
tacles from their seats high up In the
gallery at cost OF about so cents.

1T seems, according to Mr.. Mandel-
kern, that the art of ballet dancing
was established in Russia $50 years
ago as the special pastime Of the grand
dukes, who saw to it that the prettiest
girls in the empire were recruited for
the ranks of the coryphees. While
music in Russia developed along racial
lines, isolated from the music centers
Of Europe. dancing. he tells me. was a
borrowed art taken to the Neva from
three sources. The Greeks gave It
plastic, beauty, the French gave It
grace and the Italians supplied the
itoes. From Athens came the panto-
mimic features of the ballet in Russia:
from Paris came the sprightly beauty.
and from Naples or Rome or Milan
came the toe dancers. These three in
fuences combine in the Russian ballet
Of today and are presented to the
music which Tschaikowski. Dargo-
miski. Glinka and Glazounow penned
for the dances.
Mandelkern showed me a letter from
Rachmaninoff, who is, he says the
foremost writer Of ballets in Russia
Rachmaninoff had some delightful
things to say about the promiscuous
use of the musical classics by Maud
Allan, Isadora Duncan and the Countess
de Swirsky. 1T is stupid" said he
1T is worse. 1t is profanity" Yet
Rachmaninoff is the greatest writer of
dance music in all the czars kingdom.
There is absolute music-that's spirit
ual; there's physical music-thats
dance music. To weld the dance to
music is as possible. says Rachmani-
noff, as to weld words to music; but
the two must be conceived together
You can not tie words to Chopin pre-
lude nor a dance to Greig's "Asa's
Death" What Rachmaninoff and his
confreres in Russia are doing is to pen
music for the dance. and it is this
which the trio of dancers at the Or
pheum are presenting and which their
former associates in the Russian i'm
perial- ballet, Anna Pavlowa and Mich
ael Mordkin. who are soon to come here
