conservatory. Grant had noticed
with Satisfaction that Mrs. Blank had
retained possession Of the telegram.
Then he passed closely by the couple
and the message was transferred
from her hand TO his pocket.
He stepped into a small room where
he would be safe from observation
and drew the telegram from his
pocket What he read made him re-
gret that he had put himself out Of
communication with the criminology
Club. Here are the words which
were on the yellow slip OF paper:

The Dances of the Slaves

The dances Of the black slaves in
New Orleans hundred years ago no
doubt retained much of the character
as they did relics of the names of
the native African dances. Neither
MIR. Bartik nor any choreographer would
dare to reproduce them on polite
stage. They were apparently without
exception grossly indecent and lascivi-
Gus. Mr. Cable does not venture into
technical details, but contents him
self with picturesque generalities
"A sudden frenzy seizcs the musicians.
The measure quckens, the swaying, at
titudinizing crowd ST.. J into extra ac-
tlvlty, the female voices grow sharp and
staccato, and suddenly the dance is the
furious Bamboula. Now for the frantic
leaps! Now for frenzy! Another pair

one-two-three of the dancers fall

their lips and arc dragged out by arms
and legs from under the tumultuous
feet Of crowdng newcomers. The mu-
sicians know no fatigue; still the
dance RACES on:
"Quand palate la cutie ma va manga
H. And to that one nonsense line
meaning only:
"'Whcn that taters cooked don't YOU
eat it up!''
OF course, Mr.. Cables meaning is
that when the potato is cooked the
darkies do eat it up! He is speaking
of the music Of No. Of Mr.. Gilbert's
illustrations. The tune comes from the
West Indies, and the name Bamboula
is supposed to have been derived from
the drum made Of length of bamboo,
as has already been suggested. 1t has
already hgured in artistic music.
Gottschalk arranged it for pianoforte;
so did Coleridge Taylor, to whom it was

the banjo, the African origin of which
has been disputed. But as the dances in

the banjo may have played Il part in
them. The Tribunes readers will now

Mr.. Cables article which prompted
the composition of Mr.. Gilbert's music
was entitled "The Dance in Place
Congo" The locale thus designated
seems to have been at the lower end
of Orleans Street, which in the other
direction terminated in the ancient
Place d'Armes. Mr.. Bartik, who visited
New Orleans in search of suggestions
for the scenic outfit Of the ballet, was
able to locate the old site, but found
few if any remains Of the old environ
ment. At the time Of the orgies de-
scribed by Mr.. Cable the Place Congo
was the habitation Of the lowest types
Of the old French city's inhabitants.

Death of DR.. Misner.

DR.. A. G. Misner died at camp at
Chattanooga, where he was in mill
tary service, some time last week and
the remains were taken to his old
home, Terre Haute, Ind, for inter-
ment.
Dr. Misner is remembered here as
local veterinarian, where he re-
sided and practiced for some time.
He was married hero to Miss Rosa
Brown, sister of Mrs. H. A. Beck, and
two children of the union are left
with Mrs. Misner to mourn the death
of devoted husband and father, a
very highly esteemed citizen here,
and the kindest condolences are ex-
tended the bereaved.
