IMPR OVEMENTS IN
SUGAR TRUST METHODS

BOSTON, July 29-The amount of
internal reorganization and general
rehabilitation which American Sugar
Refining Company has accomplished
in the short space of the last six
months has rarely been surpassed in
the life history of any great Ameri-
can industrial company. The real
magnitude of the work achieved
since the present management took
hold has to some extent been obscur-
ed by the piecemeal manner by
which of necessity it has been done
Consequently the general investor as
well as the companys stockholders
are in danger of losing sight of the
scope of the aggregate results.
Some CO per cent of the companys

by Boston and New England inter-

holders, of whom 5000 are women,
while a large amount of the stock is
held by executors and trustees.

be that the turning point in the stock

ing when three new representatives
of New England interests, Samuel
Carr, Edwin F. Atkins and Edwin S.
Marston, were elected to the board of
directors, giving the New England
shareholders, in conjunction with
President Thomas, practically four
representatives on the directorate.
A subsequent development was

er. Arthur Bonner, who had been
with the company for some 20 years
as treasurer having expressed a wish
to resign some time during the pre-
sent year, his resignation was accept

recently vice president of the Qua
ranty Trust Company of New York
and former assistant secretary of the
navy and later Governor of Porto Rico
was elected treasurer, and will as
sumo the duties of his office upon his
return from Europe some time next
month.
Only few days ago G. r. Heike,
secretary Of the company, also re-
signed and this vacancy has this
week been filled by the election of
Joseph E. Freeman, an assistant
counsel of the company.
Another change destined to have
extremely important results was ac-
complished a few weeks ago when
the directors voted to transfer the
entire accounting department from

it has been for years conducted. to

WOODS DITCH To
BE OPENED SOON

Another big ditch on the island
of Hawaii is nearing completion and
will shortly be opened. What is
known as "the Woods ditch" is re
ferred to. Engineer James T. Tay-
lor, who planned and is carrying out
the project, is in the city now and
will be joined here by Frank Woods
on Saturday. After the arrival of
Mr.. Woods details of the opening
program will be shaped out.
"The Woods ditch" is a small affair
compared to the monster enterprises
in Hamakua, but is a big one of it's
kind as compared with such projects
| elsewhere. About three miles of the
ditch proper has already been com
| pleted.
The system will supply water to
the Woods lands on Hawaii and tc
neighboring properties. 1t is claim
ed that some fine country will, by it
be brought under cultivation, ant
that land already in use will be made
far more valuable.

offering support, played havoc with
stock market values today. So rapid
and comprehensive a shrinkage of
prices is witnessed rarely except in
periods of absolute panic. There was
some selling today by holders through
sheer fright at the rapid melting
away of values, but for the most part,
the selling was done In cold blood,
and with the systematic determination
of a surgical operation. The lack of
immedite news from which might be
judged to indicate sudden and violent
changes in conditions affecting values
pointed to an accumulation of infu-
ences to account for the movement.
The absence of the usual talk + em-
barrassment on such occasions was
taken to prove the selling to come
from sources outside the immediate
stock market circle and to represent
losses from large resources, which
amounted to impairment rather than
wiping out of fortunes.

GENTLE ART OF DANCING.

The newest craze in dancing this
season is the Long Boston, which is
essentially an American dance. 1t
differs from the Boston, which was
the favored dance last season, in the
fact that it is an absolute glide, while
the latter is more of hop.
at will be observed" said Oscar
Duryea, one of the leading dancing
masters of this city and author of
dance Poems," that we are grad
ually attaining perfection in the art
Of dancing. We are taking up the
dances along those lines. In the per-
feet dance the feet are nearer togeth-
err than in the dances which we have
adopted heretofore. The Long Bos-
ton is as near perfection as we can
make it, and still have the right step.
"As for the steps in the new dance,
like the waltz, the right foot forward
and left back takes you to the right,
and left forward and right back is the
reverse. All three counts are taken
transferring for the next three counts,
and the foot on which there is no
weight should be pointed gracefully,
barely touching the floor. On counts
two and three the motion is upward
on the toes and down again.
"The barn dance is still being used,
but is superseded by the Spanish Bos-
ton, which admits of great display of
picturesque grace. The lancers are
the only square dance left. The cotil-
lion, of course, is always popular.
"The greatest progress along lines
of dancing is in the way of aesthetics,
which is sort of calisthenics and
dancing combined, to the accompani-
ment of musical selections.
1T has been said you can never
can never be too old to learn to dance.
We have people of all ages in our
classes-even bald-headed men. We
never say die. There is never hope
less case. 1t is just as essential that
one should learn to dance correctly
as to perform any other social func-
ton properly. 1t cannot be picked up,
it must be taught and practiced.
"Yet the art of dancing is neglected
to shocking degree. We have talked
waltz in our meetings, and we have
taught 1t in our classes. yet go to a
fashionable dance at present, and just
as soon as the orchestra begins to
play waltz you will see people get

swindled out of $4,000 through a
crooked insurance deal. Early in the
winter several agents canvassed the

worth of stock in a proposed new in

1t has just become known that the

evolution of a two-step absolutely
wrong in time, balance, rhythm, and,
of course, wholly lacking in grace
and charm.
"There are four associations of
dancing masters in the United States,
and we have been of one voice in de-
claring that the dance of the great
mass of people is absolutely wrong
that they cannot dance a two-step to
waltz time.
Good dancing means a good idea
of rhythm. With sense of time the
battle is more than half won.
"People regard the art of dancing
with not sufficient seriousness. They
believe anyone can teach dancing.
They are mistaken; it is as much of a
study as any other art. Out of seven
ty-one applicants who are studying
to teach dancing only thirty-one OBJ
tanned diplomas last summer. The
teacher who is qualified must not only
understand --ow a dance should be
done, but be able to execute the steps
absolutely correctly.
"There are as many incompetent
people going about teaching dancing
and as much money wasted thereby
as in music, which is saying a good
deal. They do incalculable harm, be-
cause incorrect methods are taught
beginners, frequently in childhood,
and they are difficult to overcome. 1t

elaboration, we feel strongly disposed
to gather the roses while we may, Or,
in other words, to make the most
of the smartly simple styles while
they are still left to us.
Later on, no doubt, there will come
yet another reaction, for Fashion re-
peats herself, even as history does,
but in the meantime there can be
no doubt that we shall be called upon
| to admire and to wear skirts and
overskirts that are arranged with
draperies and folds of the most intri-
cate description, caught up here and
there into festoons and drawn around
the figure, in the form of sashes, in
various unexpected and decidedly UNI
comfortable places.
Those skirts, for instance, which
are tied in with sash draperies half
way between the knee and the ankle,
offer case in point. 1t was not easy
to walk with anything approaching
grace or freedom in the tight-ftting

BRASS TEA FURNITURE RULES.

bHADO LIZA ~ hNI OIlC ItOhiLO.
The teas given by Baroness Rosen,
wife of the Russian Ambassador, are
distinctive by reason of the wonderful
display of brass work. The tea table
itself Is of dull hammered brass, with
fantastic shapes of dragons and gar
goyles, and the trays, though smaller,
are of the same workmanship. All
the cups and saucers are of fine brass,
beaten thin and engraved with dainty
figures of birds and flowers, and the
cream jugs, sugar bowls and all the
other accessories are also of weirdly
fashioned brass work. A big dragon
holds curiously shaped spoons in it's
yawning mouth, and these also appear
to be of brass, though really they are
of silver, finished in dull gold. With
dull leather coverings in place of
doilies and old gold satin drapings
about the table, the whole effect is
Interestingly unusual and outlandish,
and light bamboo or enameled willow
tables everywhere are being displaced
by brass.-New York Press.
