'"FISH-WALK" LATEST PARISIAN DANCE Old Fashioned Dancing Masters Deplore New Adaptations.

STUDENTS ARE SCORED Young Artists and Their Models Formerly Danced Improper Steps. PARIS, Sept. 27. Everything seems to show that we are going to have a craze for dancing this winter, a thing which would have been thought impossible a few short years ago when we were too blase to take an interest in anything except in bridge and chroniq'is scandaleuse and when the only pecple who danced were the students of the Quartier Latin and the young artists with their grisettes and models. Today we are all dancing or at least dlsoussing new dances Parisian or exotto which make the old fashioned dancing masters shake their heads and wtilch would have severely shocked our grandmothers, who, however, I am sure would have been delighted to danca themselves if they could thus have got rid of their hoopskirts. There seems to be no end to the new dances. They come to us from all parts of the globe, each one with Its particular claim to naughtiness, which is the charm of all our fashionable dances, though I assure you that we are not the least bit more naughty than we were before. "Fish Walk" Latest. The latest dances, at least the latest ones that I have actually seen, are the "fish-walk" and the "Maxixe Bresilienne," not to be confounded with the once popular "matchiche" of an age ago. The "maxixe" has several steps, principally used, however, is the step you all know from "Lanciers" with the difference that the dancers dance side by side flying over the floor with the speed of the wind, bending right and left with sinuous turns of the bod: and touching the floor first not with the toe but with the heel. The one-step has gone out of fashion entirely, "Boston" we are quite sure never existed but we dance Tango slowly passionately with all the charm we possess, while we are try ing to recover our lost breath. Remarkable Pamphlet. The Baroness de Montenach, President of the Association for the Protection of Young Girls, has published a remarkable pamphlet called "Le Probleme de la Mode." The writer arrays a vast number of facts to show the misery and ruin occasioned by the abrupt changes in fashions. Yhole districts in France, formerly prosperous, are now without he means of subsistence. Lace, ribbons and haberdashery artisans were the chief sufferers. When the ladle went In for feathers and flowers to ornament their hats, it never occurred to them that the sudden demand compelled poor workingwomen to work day and night, and to render, as long as the pressure lasted, their existence an unhealthy slavery. Madame de Mon,tenach has much to say on the trouble caused in households by fashion plates that play havoc with slender resources. She is also persuaded that the present fashions, apart from their Indecency, have & deplorable effect on child-bearing. "Women continue to torture themselves to become more beautiful," without deigning to observe that their practices are perhaps one of the causes of the exhaustion of races, of Infant mortality, and of a whole host of maladies that decimate populations. And as the Baroness is very active and zealous, she is endeavoring to persuade Society ladies to unite and refuse to submit to the vagaries of the fashionable establishments of the Rue de la Paix. Actresses Complain. "Pity the poor actresses of Paris," says M. Joseph Baltier, the well known writer, in a recent article, "no women are more unfortunately situated, for while they are adored on the stage, they are treated like outcasts and moral lepers socially." "The only exception is the actress from Comedte Franeaise for this Illustrious house spreads around itself a certain atmosphere of respectability. On the other hand, the performers in less distinguished houses are treated as less indulgently by the united opinion of society. They are considered as "irregular persons" and are not admitted into the ranks of society, that is to say. of good society. Society does not consider it possible that a comedienne of a boulevard theatre, drawing a magnificent salary, can lead a life Independent of the distractions in which her fellows are commonly supposed to take delight. "Could you imagine." asks Mr. Galtier, "a comedienne playing tennis or golf or putting down her name for membership of a sporting club? What a acandal! Every "respectable" family in society would protest. In every public place in Paris in the restaurants, in the Bois and so on, the presence of the comedienne Is greatly appreciated, but invisible barriers separate them from the rest of the world." In another part of the article, M. Galtier, says that actresses should be judged on their personal merits, and not according to their profession. "Richmond Has "Most Everything" is the practical motto of one of the largest and most successful concerns of its kind in the state, the Jones Hardware company of Richmond. Its location, model buildings, comprehensive stock, management, clerks and up-to-date system of doing business has contributed in making it not only a model hardware concern but in standardizing every bit of hardware merchandise within its premises. Established in 18S4 with a humble beginning it has gradually grown until today its volume of business reaches almost $1,000,000 per year. The Jones company does' an extensive wholesale and retail business throughout Wayne county, the state of Indiana and ail over the United

President

Miss Eleancr Wilson, one of the daughters of the president, who has attracted wide attention by her histrionic abilities, recently took the part of "Ornis, the Bird Spirit," at the Bird Masque given at Meriden, N. H., before a distinguished audience. The play was a protest against the slaughter off birds for millinery purposes. Miss Wilson's portrayal - of her part as the Bird Spirit, was warmly greeted by the audience, which viewed the masque. The president's daughter has made a large number of friends since she came to Washington with her distinguished father. Gives His Courtiers and Adjutants Very Little Time for Rest. A SHREWD DIPLOMAT Emperor Dreams of a Still Mightier German Empire. BERLIN, September , 27. There seems to be no limit to the Kaiser's energy which appears to increase rather than decrease with the years. Never has William shown himself more worthy of his old nickname "der Reise Kaiser" (the travelling aKiser). Ever" since he returned from his Norwegian cruise Emperor William has been on the go allowing neither himself nor- his courtiers nod adjutants the slightest rest. While the latter frankly admits that they are completely worn out their Imperial master actually seems to be gaining strength with the continuous excitement of rushing from place to place receiving deputations, making speeches and reviewing troops. Now in the midst of his troops he seems to have forgotten all about the disappointments he suffered in Prussian Poland, where the people took no trouble to conceal their indifference toward him nor their in-

Attending the great military manouvres from dawn until darkness with the enthusiasm of a young man the Kaiser spends the evening writing fiery speeches to be held later on and devising new details which are to make the centennial celebration in memory of the first defeats of the great Napoleon more impressive and in every way worthy of the imperial stage manager. These celebrations center around and will culminate at Leipzig when on October 16th the veil falls from the great monument erected on the battlefield of Leipzig in the presence of

States. Its organization consists of sixteen complete departments, sixty employes, and its business policy is to daily find out what the people want and then to supply it. Sharon E. Jones, treasurer and general manager, very succinctly remarks, however, that they have discovered a large proportion of the people want the best quality at a fair price, and upon these lines this business has enjoyed continual growth. This concern not only supplies the local trade in all kinds of hardware goods but it reaches into a wide field through which its representatives travel, turning in large orders that mean an influx of dollars to Richmond. The success of this company is typi

The statue until quite recently wore a costly orown of gold encrusted with diamonds, rubies and emeralds, but the other day the disappearance of the crown caused dreadful consterantlon among priests and worshippers alike, , . . . . . . . that aa a pious Catholic he had often , , , . . . kneeled in fervent prayer before the carved image of the Mother of God and one day when his prayers and devotion had been more fervent than ever, he suddenly saw the image wrapped in a flaming light and come to life. The Virgin looked at him with an expression of the purest sympathy and then she slowly raised her hand to her head, took off her costly crown j and handed it to him with a smile he shall never forget addressing him j In language he did not understand though he recognized it as Latin. Her intention, however, was plain enough, she wanted him to keep the crown. 'Soldier Denounced. The priests declared the soldier's story a sacrilege and asserted that though nothing, of course, was impossible to the Virgin, she would certainly never perform any miracles which ft cal of results which are bound to follow the combination of good executive management, carrying the beet quality j stock, and up-to-date, energetic and conscientious trasiness methods, The general public takes great pride in having so important an establishment located in Its midst, and the common expression in the city is, "If you want to see a first class hardware store Tialt the Jones establishment across from the Pennsylvania depot." It may modestly be said for the Jones company that it is doing its full share toward the commercial development of this city, encouraging every legitimate enterprise and supporting every worthy cause for the growth of a greater Richmond.

The Minister of War turned the matter over to the chief army chaplain who rendered a decision and the acts were returned to the regiment. The verdict of the chief chaplain was this. Though miracles, of course, do happen nowadays and though there is no reason to doubt the veraoity of the accused soldier, the men should nevertheless be instructed never to accept such valuable presents from civilians, not even from the Holy Virgin." The soldier was accordingly set free butthe crown was once more put back on the brow of the Virgin. BUILDS MADIOTH WIRELESS STATION NEW YORK, Sept. 27. The L'nited Fruit company announces that it will build at New Orleans, at a cost of $150,000, within the next several months, the second largest wireless station on this side of the Atlantic. It will consist of three concrete buildings equipped with two tubular steel masts 350 feet tall that will enable the company to talk with its station at Santa Marta. about 1,800 miles away, and with all its steamships at any port In the Caribbean or on the way to and from that sea. POACHERS ADOPT SNUFF METHOD PARIS, Sept. 27. Poaching by means of snuff is the latest trick employed by an organized band of men in the Vosges district, who obtain large bags of rabbits, which are afterwards sent to the Paris market. It has been subsequently discovered that the poachers strew snuff at all the entrances to a rabbit warren and then sent ferrets into the holes. As each rabbit leaves the hole it smells at the powder and begins sneezing. So riolent are its paroxysms that it rools over on the ground and falls an easy prey to the poacher. Moslem Prayer Rugs. Frayer rugs were evidently invented for the purpose of providing the worshipers with one absolutely clean place on which to offer prayers. It is not lawful of a Moslem to pray on eny place not perfectly clean, and unless each one has his own special rug he la not certain that the spot has not been polluted. It does not matter to these followers of Mohammed how unclean a rug that is on the floor ma v i be. because over it they place the j prayer rug when their devotions begin,

Wilholmsburg, a suburb of Hamburg was the scene recently of a wild west bank robbery, in which a bank employe was serioualy wounded. Two men drove up in a taxicab to the corner of a street a short distance away from a savings bank, and, ordering the driver to wait, they walked into the bank and. wtfn a cry of "Hands up," pointed revolvers at the staff. The cashier, named Bethge. dodged behind the safe and another jumped out of a window, while a third w too terrified to move. Herr Bethge looked around the corner of the safe and one of the robbers shot him in the head, weundlng him ! severelv. They then seized the third assistant and ordered him to open the vault, but the keys were in Herr Bethge's pocket and ha could not do so.
