....XHE MOBNIKG OftJEGONIAN. SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1901?. VISITORS WIN OUT Vancouver Club Carries Off Cricket Honors'. fiiGBY TOO MUCH FOR PORTLAND fine Bowling of Professional Player and Superior Batting Contrib ute to a Decisive Victory . Tlie Scores By superior batting, and aided by the fine bowling of their professional, Rigby, who took 11 wickets at an expense of only 58 runs, the Vancouver (B. C.) Crick et Club won an easy victory yesterday over the Portlands, at the Multnomah Club grounds, by defeating them by nine wickets and two runs to spare. Rlgby was a puzzle to nearly all the Portlands, with his rapid overhand delivery breaking at will now to the off and then the on. The balls are not full-pitched, and they have a trick of shooting Into the wickets before the batsman Is aware of the fact. Rlgby is easily one of the best bowlers who has visited this city. Ho comes from Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire, . England, and Is the professional Instruct or of the Vancouvers. He is pleasant to meet,- and plays as a true sportsman should, but it is a question If the Van couvers should be permitted to play a professional against an eleven like the Portlands, composed of amateurs. Prob ably some sort of a protest against play ing Rlgby will be lodged with the Van couvers today. The Portlands have their good luck to thank that Rlgby was caught out by Lumgalr when he had only scored 2. It was a chance shot, and it was a wonder he did not make 50, or even a century before he was disposed of. Portland Score 07 Runs. Portland began batting and sent Lum gair and Lawrence to the wickets'. Rlgby sent In a shooter to Lawrence, which ho blocked, but two cuts to slip followed, and the fourth ball was hit for two. Then came a four, and a careful block. Jukes faced Lumgalr, and the third ball was smashed for three. Rlgby sent two deceptive shooters to Lumgalr, and then sent a ball which the batsman tried to sky, but it fell short into Senkler's hands. It was a hot catch. On wicket for elev en. Barfoot came next, but he fell to .a shooter from Jukes. Cawston joined Lawrence, and at first the partnership looked promising. In the sixth over, Lawrence sent a beautiful cut for three, which Just went over the heads of two fielders, but It was safe. He blocked three balls, but the fourth one shot along the ground, struck the matting, and looked as if it were to rise, but It broke through Lawrence's guard, and the wick et fell. Things looked blue at this point for the Portlands, with three of their best bats down for 21 runs. Fenwlck made a single, and he returned a hot "liner" to Jukes, who held It. Cawston fell at 13 to Jukes, with two fours, two doubles, and a single to his credit None of the remaining batsmen succeeded In getting Into double figures, but It looked at one time as If Smith was going to get there. He played cautiously and blocked Rigby's shooters, but after a fine drive for four, he tried to help Willie make a run, and was run out instead. The tall-enders, Gilman and Crocker, made a sturdy defense, and both batsmen had fours. Then Jukes bowled Gilman, and the Portlands were out for C7 runs. Just as 1 o'clock was recorded. The field ing of the Vancouvers was good and steady, but they were not kept hard at wcrk. There were only two catches. Vancouver at' the Bat. After lunch, the Vancouvers went to defend the wickets, sending In Morley and Deane. Lawrence opened the bowl ing, and the fir?t ball he gave Deane the latter cut for two to the grandstand. But the other five were nearly unplay able, except to block. Barfoot faced Morley, and the latter cut him for a sin gle by a pretty drive. For four Innings both Morley and Deane played the bowl ing easily, but in the second ball of the fifth Lawrence scattered Deane's wick ets. Robsoncame on and he began" to hit confidently. Lumgalr replaced Barfoot at- the south end, and only allowed one run in his first over. Smith, Lawrence and Fenwlck were kept busy stopping drives, but in the seventeenth over, Lum galr sent a tempting one to Morley, who cut it to slip where Gilman lay handy. It was a pretty catch. Rlgby came next, and great things were expected of him from his record as a bowler. He ulti mately faced Lawrence and cut one ball sharply for four. "Now for some crick et." murmured the knowing ones, but the ' very next ball Rlgby received he cut to point, where It was smartly held by Lum galr. The catch was one of the prettiest plays of the game. Rev. Mr. Clinton got a drive for two oft LawrenceT tout the nexj ball crashed from his pad to bat and wicket. Lumgalr disposed of Robson by another catch at point. Then came Senkler the hitter of the day. He displayed no partiality to any of the bowlers, for he drove everything tney gave him. South managed to stay with ' him for a bit, although South narrowly escaped being caught when he drove a hot one to the edge of the grandstand. Senk ler seemed to have a liking for twos, and Barfleld replaced Lumgalr, but the hitting went on. But Lawrence bo.wled South, and as Senkler could not find any cne to stay with him, he stuck out to the " end, for 40 not out. He had two ones, nine twos, and five fours. The score was 100. Portland's Second Innings. At 4 o'clock the Portlands began their second Innings, but with the exception of Smith. Dakyns, Lawrence and Gilman they made an unfortunate showing. The third ball Rlgby sent scattered Lumgalr's wickets. Rival bowler.. Lawrence Joined Smith, and they played carefully, but Lawrence could get nothing but singles, when he was bowled by Rlgby. Rival bowlers agpin. No stand was made until Dakyns came on, and he played well for his 15 three fours, a double and -a single. Smith was the batsman of his side with his 23 three singles, two doubles and four fours. He was declared "leg before wicket," by Jukes. Gilman, for an end man, played well, and seemed at home with the bowling. He blocked, and hit the good ones. But all the same the Port lands could not make any more than 57. Vancouver Wins Out. "With only 25 runs to make to win a vie tcry, the Vancouvers started at 5:25 o'clock by sending In Morley and Deane. Law rence and Fenwlck were bowlers. The first ball Fenwlck gave Morley the latter cut for two, but the next one scattered his wickets. Robson Joined Deane, and they hit out confidently, so much so that the fielding of their opponents suffered at this point. In 19 minutes there were 12 txtras, one six being helped by an over throw. When the Vancouvers had 2C they paused. They were two runs , ahead, with nine wickets to fall. This morning at 11 o'clock the All-Oregon team faces the Vancouvers. The Scores.

' The "Boston" a Favorite A Waits ot Which the Parisians Cannot Get Too Much. . Parisian society Is taught to dance by an American. Its dance programmes are made up of "Boston," hop-waltzes, waltz lancers, two-steps, three-steps, one-steps, Newports, five-step schottisches and Washington, The American step, the American taste and the American Idea are firmly fixed In the Parisian great world, and one young American Is respon sible for It, says the Paris correspondent of the Washington Star. Between classes at .his establishment in the- Rue Washington, as swell young ."buds," escorted by their governesses, drove up and away In private cabs, I have Just had a talk with George Washington Lopp, this young apostle of the "Boston" to' the Parisians. So'me seven or eight years ago the late Henri Plucquc, then reglsseur of the grand opera ballet, wrote to his confrere of the Metropolitan Opera House In New York to ask if he could recommend some one to teach his cory phees step dances, in view of the forth coming ballet of "Ip. Korrlgane," whose "danse aux sabots," or "wooden-shoe dance." lasts some 20 minutes. Mr. Lopp was sent, and stayed a year, In which time he taught the fair creatures clogs, jigs, hornpipes and sand dances In va riety. 'They need It," says Mr. Lopp to day. The young American, however, was not satisfied to spread abroad the knowledge of step dancing. Almost unknown, ex cept to professionals, he got together here and there a class of young Americans belonging to the colony. There must have been a long-felt want for a good master of the dances of American society, because classes grew as If by magic, un til the Americans were left In a minority and Parisian society had claimed him for its own. "How different they are here from what they are In London!" exclaimed Mr. Lopp, as we talked about the coronation. "They are really Innocent Jn London, and Ameri cans bound for the coronation festivities need have no fear to show themselves on any London dance floor. On the cobtrary, let them remember only one thing never to turn to the left in waltzing. That is the one rule In England. Any. other old thing will do, for they are away behind the times. "In London." Mr. Lopp went on, as he warmed to the subject, "they dance what they call the 'Washington Post' to tho music of that name by Sousa. In it the man dances behind his partner, extending both fcands; while for the rest. It la danced very' much like 'La Favorite,' a dance In the nature of a galop, written by an American teacher of the name of Gilbert. Throw the heel to the side; then, crossing the leg. touch the toe In front; this they repeat, then slide four step?, men to 'the right, girls to tho left. In changing places. The whole movement Is then repeated, after which they take eight galop steps forward to the right and eight to the left, and repeat ad libitum. Waltzes they dance always to the right, never re versing, and It Is something terrible! When they get dizzy they start at one end of the room and go forward until they feel able to go on turning to the right again. They are beginning to dance the two step but only to the right. They dance quadrilles, which are romps, mere romps not dancing." "What they need in London Is a good American- dancmg master," I suggested. A Pressing Need. "One?" said Mr. Lopp. "They need a dozen." "I thoughtthat you -were once sent for to teach the royal children?" I asked, remembering the rumor I had heard long ago from some of his earliest American pupils. "That was at the beginning of my ca reer In Paris." he replied. "1 had left the opera and established my first society cloisses. In this same apartment-house, whoa number Is on the avenue of the Champs Elysees, not the Rue Washington. (And, by the way, do you know lhat San-tos-Dumont Is my neighbor, in the next apartment?) At that time Lady de Grey wa9 also a neighbor of mine, and she had a lot of young friends coming to take lessons of me. It was through her that 1 got the 'order' to go to London, to . teach the children of the Duke of York and their young companions. "The lessons took place at the old Buck ingham Palace In a kind of salon-room on the second floor, come distance back; I know I had to go through half a dozen corridors to reach It. Very shortly I had four or five other classes about 40 chil dren of the aristocracy held regularly at the hemes of this or that one of them. Here, again, they would never allow me to teach the children to reverse In waltz ing.. Often I asked why; but I never got a real answer except that 'It Is bad form.' In truth, it is only British stubbornness. "Well, after I had been giving lcesons to the little royalties about five weeks I bad a row; yes, in Buckingham Palace! There was a young fellow of the name of (I think) Argyle, who used to come to look on. He, too, was great on not reversing and against all things Amerlcnn, Includ ing the American accent. He claimed that I had it, and I would not argue with him. Then he began to mock me. When I would say 'dance e would say 'dawnce,' and when I said 'can't he would say 'cawn't.' After a little of this I turned to the pianist and asked: "Is there a parrot In the room?' The young Argyje went off muttering about 'a beast ly brute.' And a word about It was brought to me the next day. I had had al most enough of the thing already, ao my answer was to take the first boat for Paris. Did Xot Like the Court. "In a few days Lord -Duffc-rin, the then Ambassador, came and said to mo: 'You have 'insulted English royalty.' I an swered: 'I am sorry, because they were very nice to me. He said: 'Here Is a diamond pin from the Prince of Wales.' (Here it 16, with a large 'A' In briIUants.1 With that he asked me to go back again and go on with the lessons. But I an--swered that the London climate made me droopy, and refused, with many re grets. He said: 'You are the first man I ever knew of to refuse to go to the Court of England.' I said: 'Put me down in history.' " "Then you resumed your society classes in Paris?" "Yes; and when I left the opera my first pupils were mostly professionals, as you may Imagine. I had Cleo de Merode, Mile. Muria. Guerrero, all of whom know more about stepdanclng now than they did be fore. Then came half a dozen Paris danc ing masters and mistresses, to learn tne Boston, the Newport, the Washington and other American society dances, to teach them In their classes. At the same time I got some young Americans from the col ony, and as" many Engllsfc. now that It was known I had taught the royal chil dren. Such a thing counts with the Eng lish In Paris. I assure you. Then I began to get the French and others of Parisian society'. J. gave lessons to the children of Baronne Alphonse de Rothschild almost from the beginning. They brought others. The two children of Caslmlr-Perler, one boy and a girl, who is shortly to be mar ried, are still with me. The younv Duch ess d'Uzcs came first for her children, then for herself; and that has been my experience with a large number of young society matrons. Soon I hod the children of the Princess Galltzen, a cousin of the Duchesse dUzes, the Princess Colonna's two children (these being half American), the children of the Duchesse de Gram mont, the children of the Prlncesse ac Wagram, and the young Munsons from the British embassy." "And what'Americans?" "I still have the children of Mrs. Van Pusen Reed and Mrs. Wilkinson's pieces. I have taught the Comtesee BonI de Cas tellane (who was Miss Anna Gould). Miss Perkins, the children of Rodman Wana maker and the beautiful Miss Terry! doughter of tho late Antonio Terry, who married Miss Sybil Sanderson. At the same time I was giving lessors to tne Comtesse de Castellane I bad another celebrated American girl for pupil the Duchess ot Marlborough, when she was staying In Paris before she married. Every now and then she still runs over to Paris to pay a visit to her father In his apart ment Just above here, on the Champs Elysees. Taught the Spanish King. "I gave the young King of Spain 'lessons last Summer at St. Sebastian, teaching him all the American society dances, as well as the navotte. the navane. and the minuet. He knew nothing. But he proved j himself a very fine young fellow, speak ing English beautifully, while the Queen mother Is the most charming woman 1 ever met. One day I was giving him a lesson with some of his young compan ions, and we started to try the Boston. Now, they dance a waltz In Spain which is much faster than the Boston and much shorter. The son of tha" French Ambassa dor began to show it, and two young Spaniards, the Duke of Medina-Cell and the Duke of Berwick, brother ot the Duke of Alba, claimed It to be superior to the Boston, or any waltz In the American style. In war,' said the latter, you were our superiors, for you proved It; but In dancing we are your superiors, as you can prove for yourself by watching any Madrid ballroom. Then the young King spoke up, saying, 'In that case, Hernan do, why do we take lessons from LoppT "Thess showed the difference between the English and the Latin people," I said. "The English, while taking lessons Irora you, still want to dictate how you shall teach them." "The Parisians are the most reasonah of all," replied the author of "The Latest Cotillion." "I tell them what they ought to learn, and they take my word for It. It Is amusing to hear them pronounce the American names Tree-Step, 'Boh-stone, for Boston, anrt 'Nev-por, for' Newport. Of all these the Boston is the most popu lar." "In what proportion? Suppose an aver age dange programme In Parisian soci ety.?" "There would be eay, three 'valses a trols temps' Hfast and short), what they call here valse3' or 'waltzes.' Against these there would be, say, three Bostons. Between them there would be one OW Court quadrille, one or two plain lancers and waltz-lancers, and (were young people predominating), a minuet, a gavotte and perhaps a pavane-three old dances that are very popular again. And then, to fill up, later there would be a quantity of Bostons. At many young people's dances they dance only Bostons, while the older ones go In for the old waltzes." A "Boston" Described. "And now, what Is this Eos ton?" I asked "One hears about it everywhere, and the new Larousse dictionary gives the verb 'to boston,' 'bostonner.' " "The Boston as danced in Parisian so ciety," said Mr. Lopp, "Is not the 'Boston Dip danced sometimes in America. Yeara ago, when qulto a young fellow, I ran off and Joined a minstrel company. At San Diego, where I left the company, I opened a dancing class, and It, was there I wrote the Boston as It Is now dapced In Paris. The original idea I had received from a friend of mine, a dancing master of Bos ton, Russ Walker. He had written the 'Boston Dip,' which attained popularity In certain circles, not the best. They took a long dip during two measures In which the dancers almost touched the floor, then waltzed and, repeated the 'dip' ad libitum. I saw It had considerable possibilities; but It would have to be materially changed to fit It for a dance of society. First I made the step much longer. Then, Instead of having them dance it round, I made them dance it forward and back." "In those early days you hardly realized, I suppose, that you were evolving a quite now type of dance?" "No. And It is a new type of dance. The Boston as we now dance It in Paris may be described as a waltz that Is danced forward and backward. In turning very little In other "words a pendulum like movement which, when It Is exag gerated, becomes vulgar. This Is one or the aristocratic, characteristics of the Boston, that It acts like a touchstone ot refinement. Those who exaggerate It be tray their Innate vulgarity. Yet when danced properly, it Is a movement as nat ural, as unfatlgulng and as Innocent ai walking. I would compare It with the waltz in this way: While the waltz would make a pattern ot backward and forward curves If the outline of Its steps were fol lowed on the floor, the Boston would make a star, with the turnings done at sharp angles." Here Mr. Lopp showed me the five pho tographs marked "p" "s," "c," "d," and "e." "Oh, but I recognize those charming children!" I exclaimed. "They are He stopped me with a deprecatory ges ture. The Yonthfnl Models. "Never mind their names," he said. "They are simply two of my best little pupils. Their parents, like the parents of a number of others, have permitted these photographs to be made to Illustrate my book. 'La Dernier Cotillon,' to be pub lished by subscription by Lahurc of Paris. It will contain several hundred such photographic Illustrations, because they afford the most attractive and clear est explanations of the positions: Those who pose for them are mere children, and the book itself will chiefly circulate among themselves; nevertheless. It would annoy me seriously should their names be given.' "They shall not be." I answered, de lighted with the prospect of taking a few of them for this present article. "The photograph 'A' shows the proper position for holding your partner when you dance the Boston." began the Invent or of the Boston; "or cl3e you may hold her as shown In 'B. Either position Is correct; all others are Incorrect. And now we come to the dancing of the Bos ton." "Which begins with 'C, " I said, to show him that I understood already. "The photograph C" shows the first step of the Boston'. That marked 'D shows the second step, while that marked 'E shows the third step. The three make one measure. Starting with the right foot, the steps are then repeated forward. To change from the right to the left, the gentleman should take six steps back ward. In a straight line, 'angling to the right toward the center of the room (the lady naturally going with him). Then he begins forward with the left foot and backward with the right, taking three steps forward and three steps back. Then, to change frora the left to the right, the gentleman should take six steps forward toward the sides of the room, 'angling to the right (at about 30 degrees). Then recommence 'C, 'D, 'E. Store of the 3Iaze. "After each complete revolution, one should change from the right to the left, or from the left to the right." continued Mr. Lopp. "And to make a complete revolution, one should take 'C, 'D.' 'E four times, while to change, one should take 'C, 'D, 'E twice, naturally chang ing the feet alternately. In dancing the Boston, the weight of the body Is always on the foot that takes the first step; for this reason the capital point Is always to pass the foot. In starting with 'C and then 'D,' the heel of 'C must pass the heel of 'D.'. The reason for this is that, as the weight of the body Is on the .foot Just drawn back, its impetus would cause a shock were you to bring the two fe"et exactly together; whereas, by passing the heel, the step becomes longer, tho shock Is avoided, and the particular grace of the Boston Is attained In naturalness and ease. "Again." said Mr. Lopp. "the greatest care must be taken to slide the foot that is. to keep the foot flat ahd the heel down on the floor as near as nossiblc through out the dance. The ball of the foot should always touch the floor first. The steps should be natural that Is, to take any given position, one should begin as If walking; but instead or raising the foot, slide the foot. For these ieasons the Boston Is peculiarly a dance that does not fatigue one. Young ladles, del icate and tender,-, will dance 10 Bostons when they would tire in five waltzes. The cadence is 32 measures to the min ute." "And the music of the Boston?" I asked. "The music to which the Boston 13 danced In Paris Is usually dreamy waltzes," answered its inventor. "-Span, lsh, Hungarian or even Strauss waltzes are none of them good for the Boston. You tan say that Its Ideal waltz Is the song waltz." As I had heard a rumor In the colony that this remarkable young "man had un dertaken some tremendous building oper ation In the Interest of the dance in gen eral. I took this opportunity to ask him about it. American Novelties. "It Is true that I am about tearing down a property on the Rue Magcllen. behind the Elysee Palace Hotel, to erect In Its place a very large and beautiful building which is to be called the Wash ington Palace. The municipal authori ties have already accepted my plans, which call for an expenditure of 500.000 francs," he answered. This building will consist of two great dancing halls, the finest In Europe. Two of their Innova tionsquite American will astonish Paris society people. One Is the spring danc ing floor. The other Is an Ice machine for cooling the atmosphere." "I hear that the building will resemble the Petit Palais of the Champs Elysee3," I said. "It will; but it is with the Interior iec oratiens that I am most occupied," he answered with enthusiasm. "The great dancing hall of the first floor will be in an Oriental style. In light shades, while that of the floor above will be Louis Qulnze." "And they will be used for private dances, I suppose you will rent them out?" "To my old pupils, yes, and to their friends and society people In general. There Is real need for such dance-salons In the Paris of today. I have no fear on that score." As I took up the pretty photographs and prepared to go, my eye fell on three others. '"What dance do these three repre sent?" I asked. "It Is the military polka, and they rep resent Its three positions," he replied. "It Is new and very popular. To dance It they go forward three steps, point the foot forward, turn, then take three steps forward, face partners, and then dance two measuresof the polka." "You should see me dance the polka," I murmured, thinking of the old song of Roslna Vokes. ' "You should see them dance the polka," answered Mr. Lopp, with natural prldo as we passed through one of the coquet tlshly decorated class rooms. Half a dozen smart children, chic little crea tures, utterly Parisian, were sitting solemnly beside their "bonnes" and gov ernesses. "They dance the polka charmingly," said Mr. Lopp. And I believed him. GEORGE IITS CANNON. Used as Tools by n Pittsburg Bridge Company. Pittsburg Leader. From deadly implements of war turned by the enemy against the sons of the land In which they have for more than a century reposed to instruments useful in the furtherance of peaceful pursuits In that same country is the remarkable transition through which two large can non now In the works of the Keystone Bridge Company have passed. Captured, It la supposed by General Gates at the battle of Saratoga, one of the most Im portant engagements of the Revolution, the cannon were placed In the Pittsburg arsenal early in the last century, and remained there as souvenirs until 1S73, when they were bought by the old Shlf- fler Bridge Company, and placed In the mill to be used as compressors. There for almost 29 years the old guns have done service, and no better tools of their kind could be found. In a . dark corner of the dingy plant, hidden from sight the greater part of the time by the great weights surrounding them, and smeared with grease and grime, the old cannon still retain their usefulness, and beneath all the grease the royal coat of arms of the proud King George III stand out, the sole reminders of the days In which they boomed In the service of the King. The royal crest Is close to the old touch-holes of the guns. Instead of powder there Is now Inserted In the touchholes of both pieces a prosaic water piper that In no way seems to be long there. Before being enlisted In the Industrial service of the Keystone Bridge Company the heads of both the cannon were re njoved, so that they are now open at both ends. Through the great 16-lnch bore water Is pumped and Is forced out by long cylinders that are burdened by GOOO pounds of steel. This tremendous weight is released, and. settling the cylinders, forces them through the bore of the can non. Before them goes the water that Is thrown through the pipes against a machine known as an "upsetter." At the other end of this machine the "T" bars used In bridge construction are placed, and the ends, heated to a white heat, are locked Into the "upsetter." The force or the water from the cannon pushes the machine against the end of the bar and starts the head, that Is later finished In the big five-ton hammer. Day after day theso huge guns have performed this humble work, and when one looks at the proud crest of the King of England he wonders If. were they possessed of life, they would not feel humiliated at this sad fall from their former calling that of battling for glory and victory and empire. Possible Annexation. Washington Special to N. Y. Times. Representative Newlands of Nevada is Inclined to believe that when the Cuban question comes before Congress again there will be serious consideration of a proposition looking to annexation. He thinks that the progress of events in Cuba Indicates that nothing short of an nexation will solve the Cuban problem. He would like the proposition to take the form of an invitation to Cuba to be come a part of the United States. Ho says a large element In Cuba Is In favor of annexation, but fears to advocate It at tho present time lest It bring about a revolution. He said: "An imitation from this country to Cu ba to become a part of the United States is absolutely necessary in order to disarm any suspicion on her part that she might become a military dependency such as the Philippines. The beot opportunity for this Government to demonstrate the ad vantages of annexation to the Cubans is In the serious problem of land matters.

"I think, as many of these estates are about to go Into liquidation. It would 'be advantageous for this Government to step In and inaugurate a system of peasant pro prietorship. Equity in land holdings would be a great benefaction to the Cuban peo ple, for under present conditions the labor on thesa extensive estates partakes strongly of the' character of slavery, and we know that republican Institutions aro as antagonistic to slavery as they are to absolutism of power. I consider a fair ar gument In support of the suggestion I have made is to be found in the present land laws of Ireland. Some years ago when the landlords In Ireland were dis tressed the English government purchased their estates and parceled them off In small holdings among the tenants, giving them leases on long time at a very low rate of Interest., The result has been that Ireland today Is enjoying more prospertty than she has In many years." Senator Morgan of Alabama Is put down as an advocate of Cuban annexation. He Is quoted as saying: "Cuba Is as necessary to the United States as Ireland Is to Great Britain. It Is unnecessary to refer to the fact that this has been recognized since the days of Thomas Jefferson. Every far-sighted American knows today, as every far sighted .Amc:lcan hn recign'red In tbe past, that Cuba must eventually become a part of the United States. I am In clined to agree with Mr. Newlands that the time has come when we should take a decisive step toward Cuban annexa tion." DEFENSE OF THE ONION. "The Rose Among Roots" Finds Its Champion. Providence Journal. The onion Is one of those strenuous vegetables about which one cannotbe in different. One either yearns for it with a passionate longing or else utterly re pudiates It and everybody who has any trafficking with It. If one never had to take one's onions at second hand it would not be so bad. If the law would only set apart one day a week for the consump tion of onions and forbid It under penalty of fine and Imprisonment preferably Im prisonment at all time. It would be a boon to the world. The onion hater would at least know when to take to the woods and how long to stay there. As for banishing the onion from the kitchen, that would be a crime. There have been poets who have sung its prais es, but perhaps some of the prose rhap sodies are Just as eloquent. For instance. If you want to crush your neighbor who regards your dish of onions with a super cilious eye. just ask him If he knows that the onion Is called "the rose among roots." Ask him If he knows that "with out It there would be no gastronomic art"; that "Its presence lends color and enchantment to the meet modest dish. Its absence reduces the rarest dainty to hopeless Insipidity, and the diner to de spair." It Is quite possible that your haughty neighbor may decline to follow this hint and may show signs of being plunged Into despair pending the addi tion of onions to his own menu. The antl-onlonlst is a stiff-necked party. Wrong Place. "Can I see the man of the house?" asked the caller. "I am the man of the house." replied the other.
