for the crown both at the inquest
and at the trial of Crippen,
which they predict will follow
shortly upon the doctors return
to London.
Treated With Kindness.
While showering Miss Leneve
with comforts, the police are try
ing to persuade her to talk. She
has not been placed in solitary
confinement like Crippen, but has
been treated more as a guest in
the home of Chief Mccarthy. She
has her own room and practically
is not under surveillance. 1t is
said that the kindness of the police
has made a deep impression on
her.
In addition to this, she has re-
ceived a number of cablegrams
from her parents urging her to
tell all she knows of the case to
the authorities.
Crippen is kept in dungeon
in parliament house, and is not
permitted to see visitors.

In addition to asking $4,000 a
lot the company makes as con-
dition to this "low" CD price that
the city relieve it from building
that viaduct from Pacific avenue
to the Flyer dock. When the city
has its dock at Eleventh street,
the company says, then the Pacific
avenue viaduct will not be needed.
1t will save them 100000 to
not have to put this in.
So the company wants the city
to hand it cool half million dol
lars for that little strip of water
front which is not being used for
anything now except on the south
end and which Judge Reed says
does not produce income enough
to pay the taxes.
1t is likely the city will go ahead
and condemn the land and compel
the company to put in the viaduct
as agreed upon. And 1t is believ-
ed there is nat jury in the county
that will put price on the land as
high as $40, 900 lot.

Nine. Nazimova was born in
Russia of Jewish parents. She be-
gan her career on the American
stage as a Yiddish star, but being
ambitious she soon found the
Yiddish field too narrow, and in
a short time branched out as an
English-speaking star. Nazimova
is one of the 1.-THE and willowy
kind, who can bend and twist her
form into all kinds of emotional
angles, her general physical make
up being peculiarly suited to the
Ibsen heroines, which she loves to
portray.

TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN"

I'D in fashionable East Orange
two colored girls attended one OF
the fashionable schools Of the city,
the other scholars all being white
persons. At the close of the SEES
sion a ball was provided for, and
when il was known that the dusky
damsels had tickets to the dance,
and would attend with escorts OF
the ebony hue, pandemonium broke
out. and great was the consterna-
ton among the lily whites. And
why?
They sat by the negroes for nine
months in the instruction room, and
Why not dance with them for few
hours?

thing. the travesty of the farce. TAX

don't make faces. Sow the wind and
reap the whirlwind of the dance, or

how to do things in the interest OF
both races.
On this subject the Newport News
