"We are highly prosperous now and
can easily care for the 60,000 emigrants
who come to us weekly.
"But we shall have to go through
the sweating process and then we shall
still have to care for them.”
Mr. Rockefeller questioned M, Her

and ehotyed hie wonderful knowledge
of American conditions and affairs. He
quoted off hand per capita wealth, per

steel output, railroad statistics, Im

When M. Hermann said that France
took the Pennsylvania Railroad bonds
at 31-4, Mr. Rockefeller laughed and
said:
You can have It. We esn get much

He spent an hour on a bench outside
the hotel, deeply Interested In Dr. lllg-

sang. Most of them prefer the "two-
step." especially the young, with whom
It Is the fashion. The older people have
dances from home, strange and compli
cated steps which they execute with
grave solemnity. Home do not danci
anything at all, but limply hold each
other’a hands and allow the undis
ciplined Joy ot motion to expreaa Itself
with their feet. Among theae are Jo-
kubaa Hxedvllas and hla wife, LucIJa,
who together keep the deltcateaaen
store, and cunaume nearly as much as
they sell; they are too fat to dance,
but they aland In the middle of the
floor, holding each other feat In their
arms, rocking slowly from aide to aide
and grinning aeraphlcally, a picture of
toothleaa and perspiring ecstasy. .
Of these older people many wear
clothing remlnlacent In aome detail of
home—an embroidered watitcoat or
stomacher, or a gaily colored handker
chief, or a coat with large ruffe and
fancy buttons. All these things are
carefully avoided by the young, moat
of whom have learned to apeak Eng-
llah and to affect the lateat atyle of
clothing. The glrla wear ready-made
dreasea or ahlrt walsta, and aome of
them look quite pretty. Some ot the
young men you would take to be
Americana, of the type of clerks, but
for the fact that they wear thair hats
In the room. Each of thtse younger
couples affects a style of Its own In
dancing. Some hold each other tight
ly, some at a cautious distance. Some
hold their arms out stiffly, some drop
them loosely at their sldss. Some
dance aprlnglly, some glide softly,
some move with grave dignity. There
are boisterous couples, who tear wild
ly about the room, knocking every one
out of their way. There are nervous
couples, whom theae frighten, and who
cry, "Nuitok Has yraT" at them as
they pass. Each couple la paired for
the evening—you will never aee them
change about.
There la Alena Jaaaltyte, for
stance, who has danced unending hours
with Jouias Raeslus, to whom she Is
engaged. Alena Is the beauty of the
evening, and she would be really beau
tiful If she were not so proud. She
wears a white shirt wslsh which repre
sents, perhaps," half a week’s labor
painting cans. She holds her skirt with
her hand as'she dances, with stately
precision, after the manner of the
grandee dames. Jouzas la driving one
of Durham’s wagons, and Is making
big wages. He affects a "lough” as
pect, wearing his hat on one side and
keeping a cigarette In his mouth all
the evening. Then there Is Jadryga
Marclnkus, who Is also beautiful, but
humble.
Jadvyga likewise paints cans, hut
then she has an Invalid mother and
three little sisters to support by It, and
so she doss not spend her wages for
shirt-waists. Jadvyga Is small and
delicate, with Jat black eyea and hair,
tha latter twisted Into a HtUo knot and
fed on the top of her head. She wears
an old white dress which she has made
herself and worn to parties for the post
five years; It Is hlgh-walsted—almost
under her arms, and not very becoming
—but that does not trouble Jadvyga,
who la dancing with her Mikolas. Hhe
Is small, while he Is big and powerful:
she nestles In hla arms as If she would
hide hirzelf from view, and leans her
head upon his shoulder. He In turn
has clasped hla arms tightly around
her. as If he would carry her away;
and so ahe dances, and will dance the
evening, and would dance forever. In
ecstasy of bliss. You would smile, per
haps, to sea them—but you would not
smile If you kn.ew all the story. Thla

has been engaged to Mikolas, and her
heart Is alck. They would have been

he la the only other man In a large

man) but for cruel accidents which

a dangerous trade, especially when you
are on piece work and trying to earn
a bride. Your hands aro slippery, and
your knife la slippery, and you are
tolling like mad, when somebody hap-
K na to apeak to you, or you strike a
ne. Then your hand slips up on tho
blade, and there la a fearful gash.
And that would not bo ao bad, only
for the deadly contagion. The cut may
heal, but you never ran tell. Twlre
now, within the laat three years, Miko
las haa been lying at home with blood
poisoning—once for three months and
onre for nearly seven. The laat time,
too, he lost hla Job, and that meant
alx weeks more of standing at the
doors of the packing houses, at 6
o’clock on bitter winter mornings, with
a foot of snow on the ground and mors
In the air. There are learned people
who can tell you out of atatlatlea that
beef-boners make forty cents an hour,
but, perhaps, these people have never
looked Into a beef-boner’s hands.
Whan Tamoaslua and hla com pan
Iona atop for a rest, aa parforco they
must, now and then, the dancers halt
where they are and wait patiently.
They never seem to tire; and there Is
no place for them to ait down If they
did. It Is only for a minute, anyway,
for the leader starts up again. In spite
of all the protests of the other two.
This tlms It la another sort of a dance,
a Lithuanian dance. Those who prefer
to, go on with the two-atep, but the
majority go through an Intricate series
of motions, resembling more fancy
skating than a dante. The climax of
It Is a furl~t= pcsstisstiwo -> which
the couples aelxe hands and begin a
mad whirling. Thla la quite Irresisti
ble, and every one In tha room. Joins
In, until the place becomes a maie of
flying skirts and bodies, quits dialling
to look upon. But the sight of sights
at this moment la Tamootdua Kuaa-
lelkn. Tho old Addle squeaks and
shrieks in protest, but Tamoaxlus has
no mercy. The sweat starts out on
hla forehead, and he bends over like a
cyclist on tha last lap of a race. Hla
body shakes and throbs like a runaway
steam engine, and the ear cannot fol
low the flying showers of notes—there
ta a pals blue mist where yon look to
aee hla bowing arm. With a moat
wonderful rush he comes to the end of
the tune, end flings Dp Ms hands and
staggers back exhausted; and with a
Anal ahont of delight the dancers fly
apart, reeling here and there, bringing
up against the walls of tho room.
After this there Is beer for every
one, the musicians Included, and tha
revellers take a long breath and pre
pare for the great event of the evening,
which la the acslavlmas. The ncala-
vlmaa la a ceremony which, once be
gun, will continue for three or four
hours, and It Involves one uninter
rupted donee. The guests form a great
ring, locking hands, and, when tho
muale starts up, begin to move around
In a circle. In the center atnnda the
bride, and, one by one, the men step
Into the Incloaure and dance with her.
Each dances for several minutes—aa
long aa he pleifaes; It Is a very merry
proceeding, with laughter and singing,
and when the guest haa finished, he
.finds himself face to face with Teta
Elableta, who holds the hat. Into It he
drops a sum of money—a dollar, or
perhaps live dollars, according to hla
power and ms estimate of the value of
the privilege. Tho guests are expected
to pay for this entertainment; If they
be proper guests, they will see that
•there Is a neat sum left over for tho
bride and bridegroom to start lift
upon.
Moat fearful they are to contemplate,
the expenses of this entertainment.
They will certainly ba over two hun
dred dollars, and may bo three hun
dred. and three hundred dollars Is more
than the year's Income of many a par
son In this room. There are
bodied men here who work from early
morning until late at night, In Ice-cold
cellars with a quarter of sn Inch of
water on tho floor—men who for six
or seven months In the year never see
the sunlight from Hundsy afternoon
till the next Bundsy morning—and who
cannot earn three hundred dollars In a
year. Thera art little children here,
scarce In their teens, who can hardly
see the top ot the work benches—whose
parents have lied to get them their
places—and who dp not make the half
of three hundred dollars s year, and
perhaps not oven tho third of It. And
then to spend such a sum, all In a
single day of your Ilfs, at a wedding
feast! 4For obviously It Is the asms
thing, whether you spend It at vmce
for your own wedding or In a long
time at the aeddlngs of all your
friends.)
It Is very Imprudent, it Is tragic—
but, ah! It ta ao beautiful! Bit by hit
these poor people have given up every
thing else; but to this they cling with
all the power of their eoub—they ran
not give up the vesellja! To do that
would mean, not merely to be defeated,
bat to acknowledge defeat—and tha
difference between theae two things
Is what keeps the world going. Tho
vsseltja haa come down to them from
a far-off time; and the meaning of It
waa that one might dwell within the
cave and gaae upon the shadows, pro
vided only that ones In hla lifetime
he could break hla chains and feel
hla wings and behold the sun, provided
that once In his lifetime he might tes
tify to the fact that life, with nil Ita
cares and lla terrors, la no such great
thing after all, but merely a bubble
upon the aurfnee of a river, a thing
that one may torn about and play with

a thing that one may quaff, like a gob

known himself for the master of
things, a man could go back to hla
loll and live upon tha memory all hla
days.
Endlessly tha dancers swung round
and round. When they were illssy

excitement, but all of the women and
most of the men were tired—the soul
of Marija was alone unconqnered .
Hhe drove on the dancer*—what had
once been the ring had now the shape I
of a pear, with Marija at the item, |
pulling one wey and pushing the I
other, shouting, stamping, sinking, a’
vary volcano of energy. Nos and then
some one coming In or out would i.-uvs
the door open, and the night air was
chill; Marija as the passed would
stretch out her foot and kick the door
knob, and slam would go tha door!
Once this procedure waa the can f
a calamity of which Habastljonaa 7.. d-
vllas wa* tha hapless victim. Lit

wandering about oblivious to all thlnxs,
holding turned up over ni. mi *

ija, who threatened horrid' muid-r a
hundred times a day, and would u>-p

HebastIJonsa In her arms and bid fair
to smother him with kisses. There
was a long reel for the orchestra, snd

standing beside him and holding to hla
