Ai) a sylph like dancer we do not count ourself as a clittering success and as a consequence have largely lost Interest In lerpslchorean amusement.

If we tyere ppsjessed of jpst a few. quantitations thap we now lack we lire certain that we would bo an elegant and would take a deep abiding Interest 111 the waltz. Jn the lirst place we lack We mean that rythmical regular moyer ment which moves In perfect harmony with the measures of the music, In the second place our feet are heavy nnd incorrigible, so that when we attempt to trip a few joyful measures, we may trip the measure, but we also trip the rest of the people ho may happen to be in that immediate locality. We would not so much mind stepping on other people, but it is embnrr rassing to step on oneself. Our experience during the few times that we attempted to dance has been discouraging in its character.

A lady near ns 011 one occasion, indicated to us that site could not move about with the freedom and ea se thai she desired when we were standing 011 her dress. We also heard her remark tc the person on whose shoulder she was reposing, that if some people would trade their feet for gun boats tney would probably take up less room. Tins observation we confess jarred us somewhat at the time, though it might not have been noticed by a less sensative person. In our brief experience as a dancer we recollect of only one- compliment ever being paid us, that was when we overheard a beautiful woman declare that we moved with the easy grace of a cow. A-i she did riot know that we overheard her, we know that compliment was genuine; in other words it came from the heart.

A compliment that comes from the heart we mieiit say is worth more mueh more, than flattery which is bestowed to your face. We do not care however, to dwell on our limited room experiences. There are periods which it is better to forget. What we started out to say was that we have no opposition to the inaugural ball simply because we cannot participate in the festivities. We have been asked to give our opinion on the important subject and we give it freely and without price.

It is this: We do not give a continental whether there is an inaugural ball or not. Mail and Breeze. General Calixto Garcia, the Cuban hero, who came to Washington at the head of the commission elected by the Cuban assembly to visit this country, died in Washington, D.C.Snnaay morning Dec. 11, at 10 a. of Pneumonia.

He contracted a cold on the way to this country and this was greatly increased early last week when the General and other members of the Commission attended a dinner given in honor of General Miles.

General Garcia left a large family, only one of whom, Justo. a captain of Lis staff, was with him when he died.

His widow and Mercedes, a daughter 17 years of age, are at Thoro.isvllle, the girl is quite ill; Mario, a son, 19 years of age, is with the mother at Tuomasville, and Colonel Carloas Garcia, another son, is in Cuba.

MoHelev fore the grand jury the mayor and police judge of Iola have both been indicted for giving a practical protection reliable firms to those who ask. The question of soils is scarcely to be considerad, since almost any soil to be found in the state is capable of supporting trie best of ourhandsom bloomers. However, the physical condition of the soil may be such as to require some treatment before committing a valuable shrub to it.

If the subsoil is hard and tenacious should be broken up so that the roots of the plants and moisture can penetrate it. For large plots a subsoil plow in best, but for single plants, or for a small number, a spaJe is effective. Dig a hole wide enough and dojp enough for the roots to grow uncramped for a year or two. Fill 111 the bottom ot the hole with surface soil and tramp it ur.til it is firm. It is best to set the plant a little deep er thau it grew 111 the nursery.

General Garcia was the original conspirator in the uprising of the Cubans against Spain in 1868, and, in that war, under Gomez, lie attained the rank of a brigadier general. In October, 1868, he captured the towns of Jaiquani and Baire and recruited many hundreds of patriots. He had cemmano of the eastern departments during the revolution of 1873, and won many notable victories, including those of Melo-nes and Aures.

While the revolution was in a critical state 111 the other and its outcome was uncertain he maintained It with vigor in the territory under his command. In 1875 while reconnoilering with his escort, he was surrounded by Spaniards. Preferring death to capture and subsequent execution at the hands of his enemy, he attempted suicide by placing his revolver under bis chin and firing, The bullet came out between his eyebrows. For months he lay between life snd death, but was finally saved by Spanish surgeons who possibly had owed tneir lives to his mercy. The Spaniards, believing be was.
