LES DANSES D'AUTREFOIS'

During the next entr'acte 90 years
elapse. 1t is the romantic period, to-
ward the close of the reign of Charles X.
We see the 'crinoline dance Two young
ladies in pink chrinoline-the Princesse
Guy de Lucinge and Comtesse Ignatier-
and two In green crinoline Hart and
the Comtesse Jean de Segonzac-dance
with four cavaliers-Andre de Foul
quieres, Baron de Naldner, Comte Sanche
de Gramont and Comte Bernard de Ca
nay. The men wear the tight trousers, the
huge cravats and the tall beaver hats OF
1880.
After pause the curtain again opens,
and one sees a vast ballroom of the Tut
leries during the second empire, when tile
famous beauties of the day. including the
beautiful American, Mrs. Ronalds, dance
waltzes. poikas and mazurkas, ending
with the charming and simple American
barn dance, the whole constituting YER
liable revelation of the science chore-
graphique' Of bygoue days
America learned the popular dances of
the day from musical comedy when 1t had
assumed form that required little abili-
ty upon the part 4 the performers. To
put upon the stage such spectacle as the
Countess of Bearn's fete would require no
little skill upon the part of the dancers,
but would provide entertainment for many
persons who are not fond of the Mont
martre style of musical comedy that is
more easily produced. If the require
ments for dancing upon the stage were
higher we should probably have ballroom
| scenes that would reveal more of wonl-
anly grace and of manly grace. than is
seen in dances learned in an hour, and
danced by the hour
There is no reason why ballroom,
where youth, beauty, grace and the joy
of living are real, should not present
picture more charming than the stage
where youth is simulated, beauty is a
matter of paint and pencil, grace studied
art and spontaneity matter of technique.
But when the ballroom reflects a stage
which wins its patronage by facile and
meretricious performance the ball loses
its charm from the point of view of the
spectator, although 1t may be good sport
for the participants.

STRIKE IS IMPROBABLE
POLICY REPORT ADOPTED BY La

L leaders Would Recall Ammons, Turn

western Newspaper Union News Service
Denyer.-Resolution drafted by the
policy committee and providing that
the convention call upon Governor
Ammons to turn all military prisoners
over to the civil authorities, remove
General Chase as head Of the militia,
remove Major Boughton, Major Town
send and Captain Householder, abol'
ish the military commission and IA
voring a statewide sympathetic strike,
were adopted by the special conven'
ton of labor union delegates IN Build
ing Trades Club hall. The resolu-
tions also provide that If the COVER
nor fails to comply with the request
within five days circulation of peti
tions for the recall of Governor Am
mons be begun by the officers of the
State Federation Of Labor.
A proviso placed in the resolution
makes it improbable that statewide
strike will be called in the opinion OF
Chairman j. X. Radley of the resolu.
tions committee and Secretary-Treas-
urer William Green of the United
Mine Workers.
This proviso places the proposition
of the strike in the hands of the ex-
ecutive committee of the state fed
Grafton, which in turn is instruced to
take up with the twelve vice presi-
dents of the American Federation of
Labor the question of financing the
strike.
Such action would mean that the
state executive committee and the ma
tional executive committee both would
have to approve the call for state
wide strike. Even then, it Is stated,
sixty-five per cent of the locals in the
state would be compelled to have an
individual referendum vote to ratify
the sympathetic strike proposition be-
fore 1t could become effective.

lue departing OF the old ana the uSneF-
ing In Of new year should be distin-
guished by some observance or cere-
meny appears but natural, and we ac-
cordingly find various customs prevail
in different parts OF the country and
OF the world. Some are of sportive
character, others serious, and in 9TH
ers both mirthful aud pensive moods
are intermingled.
One of the best-known and most
general Of these customs is that Of re-
naming up till IL o'clock on the night
of December 81, either in the home.
where a little family party may be
gathered; in the church, where re-
ligious "watch-night" service is held,
or on the street. where promenaders
make merry.
In no place in the world is the cele-
bration Of New Years eve made of SO
much account as In Philadelphia. In a
great measure this is due to the fact
that 1t is the Cradle of Liberty" Of the
country, and the bell on Independence
hall is used to announce the age Of the
republic with the dawning of the new
year. Thousands of people congregate
about Independence hall, and when the
clock points to midnight and the bell
begins to toll off the years. pandemo.

small arms, the footing Of horns and
noises of all characters. The celebra,
ton is carried along all the thorough
fares In the heart of the city, and es.

New Years eve is favorite occa-
sion for social gatherings in Scotland
and the north of England, and when
the eventful hour has struck the guests
all proceed to the house door and un.
bar 1t with great formality to "let out
the old and let in the new year"
The making of good resolutions with
the dawning Of the new year is a
very old custom, and one which has
no doubt been followed with much
profit. 1t affords a splendid oppor
tunity to lay aside futile reflections on
past imprudence and mismanagement
and to resolve for the future to do our
utmost In fulfilling our duty to God
and our fellow-men.

Timber Lining Wall Cause of Death

Victor, Colo.-The system of mining
employed at the Golden Cycle mine
was responsible for the deaths of
Frank M. Woods, Jr, Soren Sorenson
and Patrick Kevany in the cavein of
Dec. 1, according to the verdict Of the
coroner's jury. The jury reported
that in its opinion the slide was caused

timbered instead of built up with
waste rock. The jury did not name

1t tells of another spring approaching,
and who knows but 1t will prove the
most perfect spring the world has ever

beyond which may be the ideal sea

from drought and excess Of rain-just
what summer ought to be.

for fairer and higher record than
they have ever lived into any twelve
month gone by.
What if the hope Of such advance
ment fails of realization, in the larger
sense. and with few exceptions grows
feebler and DINNER until it dies when
the new year has grown old? There
are exceptions, and they are beacons
lighted for the guidance of humanity
on its upward way. In the glow Of
these triumphs of high endeavor which
enable US all to keep our dreams alive,
the world discovers foothold for its
climbing steps.
All this reasonableness OF New
Years hopes and joys, this conscious
ness which is felt rather than rea
soned, Of the infinite possibilities of
life. is especially easy and natural in
America. Here the balance between
good fortune and i'll inclines most
often to the side of Joy. Here the op-
portunities which minister to hope are
easiest to find and seize.
Always and everywhere, If mankind
is not to slip back into the mire Of ut
ter ignorance and bestiality from
which the race emerged before history
began, there must be visions Of better
things in the future than the past has
given. Such pictures call to the saw
age in his hut and the barbarian in his
tent. Without hope the inner life of
the world would faint and die. Where
there is no vision the people perish"
But in America these STRINGS of the
vital force which urges man upward
and onward, despite unnumbered fail
ures and losses. leap in the heart with
new strength. The hope in the soul is
in harmony with the environment Of
the race. Optimism is native to the
soil. The continent spreads wide the
fields Of opportunity.
Never was the uplift and Joy of the
new years coming more reasonable
than 1t Is today. Never was the out
look fairer for the progress of the ma.
tion and the world, in thought, CHAR
acter and deed. The old earth begins
its wisest year. its richest, its best.
The close of the year brings with It
mingled feeling of gladness and mel
ancholy-of gladness in the anticipa.
ton Of brighter days to come with the
advent of the new year and OF melan-
choly In reflections on the fleeting ma.
ture of time, and the gradual approach
of the inevitable goal in the race of
life.

The year is going. let him go;
Ring out the false, ring In the true.
