Monday Night When Paryof Young People nterpoate the
"Bear."-Police Officer Summoned Bizarre Revelers
Are Asked to Leave the Hall. =z. .zas"s* ! ~

Fourteen young people, alleged by
the chief complaining witness to be
prominent in society circles in Virgin
ia, gave the polite and refined atmos-
sphere at the dancing academy of
Prof. J. Won Brodessir, Walnut street,
a distinct shock Monday evening
when they endeavored TO put
over what the professor characterizes
as an utterly impossible interpreted
ton of the popular Tango and Boston
dances and were asked to desist,
cease and vamoose. When they indig
nantly refused to do so and disagreed
with the professor as to what were
and what were not freak dancing
steps the professor summoned a
police officer and order vas promptly
restored.
To say that Prof. Won Brodessir
was inexpressibly shocked would he
stating the case mildly. The profess
sor advertised to teach the tango and
the Boston. His version of the steps,
however, is the extremely polite ard
and to the newspapers he demonstrate
ed the Boston at his academy Tues
day afternoon. It is an extremely
proper and graceful step. Equally
interesting and entertaining is the
one-step which the professor danced
for the newspaper men. The profess
sor says he would be glad at any
time to have the clergy visit his &C.
ademy. He is sure they would fine
nothing risque in the figures as he
teaches them, little as the clergy know
of dancing and rigid and Puritanica
as are it's standards of the eminently
proper.
Won Brodessir's story of the affair
is that the party paid the regular. ad
mission atthe door. He says they
were keen at once to dance the tango
and the Boston. Long-skilled in thu

art of polite evasion the professor
informed them he had no music for
the tango and the Boston. He en-
treated the young folks to consider
the Panama and the Yale two-step,
the latter absolutely, says the profess
sor, the last word in dancing refine
ment. ##rs@ -:
A short time latter he was horrifi-
ed to find his latest guests were dane
ing the tango; and the Boston to two
step music, with liberal interpretations
of the highly Objectionable bear. The
professor who is possessed of rare
personal dignity went to the floor and
informed the dancers that he was
running an extremely polite and re-
fined acadamy of dancing. He polite
ly begged that the jewellers would de-
sist and forego the freak steps.
Later he found it necessary to an
nounce substantially the same thing
from the stage.
The professor was then informed
with some wrath that he needn't ex
cite. 1t was held that the people who
frequented his place were hopelessly
impossible from the viewpoint of the
ultra fashionable. 1t was then that
the professor invited the party to
leave the hall. He alleges that one of
the young men then exhibited a star
and informed him that he had police
authority and that he would refuse to
allow himself and his friends to be
elected. The party then began to bait
the professor by turning out the lights
| and otherwise making themselves
busy about the hall. Then the police
were summoned.
The incident caused something Of A
local sensation Tuesday owing to the
prominence of those involved and the
fact that the police were summoned
at dance hall to compel them to bc
good.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, June 17.-An uncertain
course was followed, today, by the
stock market, which was dull 10 the
point OF stagnation much of the time.
The close of the day found prices Of
many representative stocks well above
yesterdays final figures, although be-
low the highest quotations of the SEES
sion.
The slump of the market, yesterday,
apparently was discouraging TO for
eign holders of American securities,
who sold freely in this market, today.
Foreign selling was a large factor in
the decline OF the market at the OPEN
ing, and London disposed of about 20,-
900 shares here on balance. In spite
Iof pressure from abroad, and renewed
selling by traders who sought to ex
tend yesterdays decline, the market
quickly rallied from the opening break,
rising with an ease which suggested
that the short interest had been large
" extended. Most of the selling on
yesterdays decline vas ciassed as pro-
fessional and some of the stocks in
which the short interest is believed to
be especially large loaned at pre-
MUM.
The decline induced no further liqui-
dation and bear traders, finding the
market moving against them covered.
Although the demand was not heavy
and bull operators were disappointed
that there was not larger volume Of
investment buying, absorption cf the
leading stocks went on steadily. Read
ing was in especially good demand,
displaying most strength of the lead
ers.
The Hartman shares were helped
by reports that a dissolution plan had
been worked out to the satisfaction or

reason ascribed for the increasing dull

No one can accuse Theodore Cable,
the Harvard hammer thrower and
broad jumper, of being pot-hunter
after the little incident that happened
out at the track and field games at
FRANKLIN field, Saturday. After win

out of the broad jump. remarking.

1t was very commendable trait for
an athlete to show.
Now and then some power boat own
er or skipper violates the navigation
rules pertaining TO following crews in
a boat race or in some way trepasses
upon the course, but few of them have
the experience of the man in Cali
fornia who was hailed into court for
steering his boat. into the course at
one of the big regattas on San Fran
cisco Bay. He not only violated the
rules, but was extremely fresh when
ordered off. 1t cost him $3.50.
1t looks to be almost too much for
anyone to expect Yale to beat Harvard
IN the boat race, next Friday. Yale
all season has been practically in a
documentary state. gathering a new
English stroke intact down at New
Haven, while Harvard has been going
right along with the Wray stroke. OF
course the unexpected is apt to happen
in any branch of sport, but it seems
almost too. big a handicap for the
Blue to accomplish at least this year.

several young men to celebrate both

question, Mr.. Lincoln promised the
boys that when he should receive an
other increase of pension he would
give them another supper. The long
looked for increase came, a few
months ago, and, Saturday evening,
which was Mr. Lincolns 18th birth
day, hes- entertained Is young men
with a%Chicken supper with all the
accessories at his home on Morrill,

much enjoyed, the young men played
cards and sang and listened to anec-
