THE PENDULUM, LATEST WALTZ.
Berlin Invents New Dance which
Is All Hips and Few Feet.

Berlin. Oct. THE newest form of
waltz in Germany is called the "Pendu-
lum." 1t is hard to describe on paper.
but an idea may be had Of It in per-
formance by imagining a pumphandle in
vigorous motion. The pumping keeps
time with the music, the bodies of the
dancers swaying rhythmically in accord.
There is, Of course. nothing new in the
movement. so far except that it is exag-
gerated far beyond what is considered
allowable in England or America: but
in Germany the feet appear to keep no
particular time at all. but creep about
to use the German idiom. independently
OF the rhythm. II Is attributable to the
limitations imposed on the waltz step
by the hObble-skirt. which reduces the
action OF the feet to a minimum, and it
is probable that with the disuse of the
hobble skirt the pendulum" too, will
pass away.

ROYAL GRAPES FOR PRINCE.
Anna Gould CasteIIane Purchase~
Famous Fruit for Her Boy


Paris, Oct. THE secret of the Ouch
ess de Tallyrand's (Anna Gould Castcl-
lane) purchase of the famous royal
grapes of FontainebIeau came out to-
day. when she was found feeding them
to her two-year-old prince.
The royal grapes from the 'wfnestalks
Of the king as the vineyard Of Fon-
tainebleau is called, are the most sought
after in France. They have been cuI-
tivated in the garden of the chateau
since the day of Francis I. Every year
they are sold by auction in punches, the
sale being one of the fashionable events
OF the year. This year it was more
fashionable than usual, because the So
ciety golfers were out in full force on
the fine links near by.
The duchess bought many punches at
SA a bunch. and all are for the baby
prince. who has been ordered grapes by
the family physician. Society people say
that Prince Helie Jay Gould de Sagan
is enjoying the most expensive regimen
ever prescribed by doctor.

The makers of the Peerless Pre-

those, who for several years have
made a product called Paragon paint.
for the purpose of putting on the mar
ket roof covering made of felt pitch
and gravel. The office Of the COM
pany will be with the Honolulu Con-
struction and Draying Company in the
Robinson block on Queen street.
Peter Higgins, who first introduced
Peerless Paint to Hawaii fourteen
years ago, will be the active man in
the concern having acquired a half
interest in the company. He drifted
away from Belser, who had purchased
the formula for Peerless, and began
the manufacture of his Paragon. Now
he is back to his first love with in
dications pointing to more satisfac
tory roofs and no higher prices. The
pitch, felt and gravel covering made
by the company is now specified by
architects in nearly every instance

JUDGE HARLAN DEAD

News has reached Fairbanks, says the Citizen, of the death of Judge N. V. Harlan, which occurred couple of months ago at York, Neb. Judge Har- Ian, who was a relative of the late Justice Harlan, of the supreme cour, of the United States, at one time was dstr jet attorney for this judicial divi sion, and made his home at Fairbanks
 The former court official came to Alaska in 1901 and served until 1907, when he resigned on account of ill., health. Judge Harlan was 10 years of age.
 The illness of the former district at torney may be said to date back to the death of his son, Edwin V. Harlan who died at Valdez in 1907 From this shock MT. Harlan never recovered

NINE MONTHS
 FOR LARCENY

Before Commissioner E. M. Stanton last Tuesday, Herman Fuchs was sen fenced to nine months in the federal jail on q charge of petty larceny.
 The charge on which Fuchs was ar rested was that of larceny from dwell ing, which constitutes a felony. Upon the intercession of Henry Roden, at torney for the accused, Justice Stanton agreed to accept plea of guilty on the reduced charge.
 The specified offense was the larceny of jewelry of the value of $25 from Mrs Emma Mutchler. It appears that Fuchs Was left in care of the dwelling during the temporary absence of Mrs Mutchler and is accused of climbing into her room through transom and committing the theft.
 Fuchs was before Justice Stanton a few weeks ago on charge connected with the molestation of women. He was then dismissed with severe rep rimand and caution. He is said to be addicted to the peeping habit.
