A PRETTY GIRL ON ICE.
A Beautiful skater Among Thousand.
Nec York Letter.

Nac York Letter.
While skating at the lake Ia Central. Park
j saw the most attractive skater Of them all.
She was young and 1.-THE, but by no means
atteBuated. Her face was beautiful with
the celors Of health, rather than from perfec
tlon of features. The charm Of her person.
ality arose chiefly from the fact that she was
palpably enjoying herself, and was doing IL
with grace and shapeliness. The figures
which she executed with her skates were
precise, unaffected and looked easy. Every
movement made new and slightly pose. She
disdained the supporting hands of her escort,
circled around him with .antalizing celebrity,
invited him 10 chases which never ended In
overtaking her until she chose, and perform.
ing fests which be could not even distinctly
initiate. She wore about the only costume
on the Ice that was plainly intended for a
skater. L. was made of dark sailor blue vel
vet and corresponding smooth cloth, trimmed
with four inch strips Of dark fur.
The velvet skirt was draped in front with
\ long, straight cloth of. the same width,
taken across like train and caught up be-
hind In short, bunchy style. Her waist
coat was held close at the waist with vel.
vet band put over the jacket lining and then
fastened at the side seam with the founce.
Her cap was Of fur and her muf matched
the trimming Her skates were little except
runners, fastened by an invisible device TO
the neatest Of laced CATERS. Her skirts were
short, and her ankles we're seen to be warm
ly clad In legglngs.
The short, round paletot is fashionable for
q skatipg garment. The long mantle has al
ways been out Of place for skating, and SO
for this purpose the short one will meet with
great success. Long mantles cannot continue
TO be worn much longer, because dresses are
made fuller and more trimmed, while the
paletot admits Of crinolette, which helps
to make 1t better, and the drapery on the
skirt can be shown of TO perfection without
being crushed. 1t is generally made of fine
dark cloth or velvet with quilted satin lin
ing, and should be trimmed around the edge
with fur, feather, plush or some other trim
ming. But most Of the skaters whs were
attired wore such costumes as
are seen on the streets.

AcrnpdDuIse and his Relatives.

The queen is much concerned about the
quarrel between the grand DIXIE of Sake.
Coburg and the duke and duchess of Edin-
purgh, rs the results may be untoward in
various ways n is not the first time that
there has been trouble of the same kind in
Coblrr. The grand duke IL exceedingly
angry not only at the insult OF his lady
friends" but also at the slight which he
considers has been deliberately levelled at
himself. The duke of Edinburgh WAS in
Berlin for two days last week in the strict
est incognito, and had very long interview
with the EN- eror, who in his heart, prob
ably, rather sympathIzes with the uncle
than with the nephew. The grand duke is
a Jolly gentleman, something after the type
of one of Thackeray's German princes, and
has always loved pleasure and ease. He
has never kept up much real intimacy
with his English relatives. 1t would have
taxed even Mr.. Charles Greville's great tai
ents tor g adjusting differences" to grange
this matter, as there ssems.to have been on
both sides q sort of outburst OF long-re.
strained ill-ieeling. Probably the queen
herself will interfere; and If the German
emperor also comes forward to mediate
peace will no doubE, be patched up; and
until the duke and duchess of Edinburgh
"ceme into their kingdom" at COburg they
will do well in future TO contine their en-
to their own immediate en-
tourage. London World.

about two years since, TO uss for scrap

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Cansllo Criticism On Tho Action Of Or
brand Jury.
The Segregation OF Vigilance Com
mittso Denounsed
As on Exhibition Of stupidity.

One hardly knows whether to laugh or e
feel serious after reading tie report Of the
Grand Jury recently In session at Dallas
For hundreds OF years the grand jury has
been an adjunct, and q very important one
of English and American legal systems. II
Is TO be doubted, however, If In this colIn.
try at least, any grand jury ever embodied
i'm It's report suggestion 50 slarlllpg as
that made by the Dallas grand jury when
adjou, Mug last week suggestion tbat
citizens organize asvigilantes.and detectives
for the purpose OF correcting
and suppressing offences against
the laws OF the state-notably
gaming. The theory Is at once ridiculous
and outrageous. IL compels q smile OF
pity for the men who advance II, and 1t
arouses a sentiment ofregret that such an
exhibition Of essininity should have been
made by presumably Representa- iiye body
of men in any county in Texas. The Dallas
people are Indignant, and no wonder. Inc
report is little less than stigma upon the
intelligence and conservatism of the COM
munity. In measure it is reproach
upon rexas generally. Gambling may
have attained unusual and serious
proportions at Dallas. It Is o
vice wherever practiced, and must OF neces-
slty come under the condemnation OF soci-
ciety. If practicable it should be sup

regulated. But no matter what its proper
lions at Dallas or anywhere else, no JUST.
fication can be found for this suggestion OF
vigilance committees. 1t is favored with
lswlessness it is spiced with disorder; it is
derogatory to law; it srnacks of Judge
Lynch. The state OF Texas bias laws against
gaming and officers and legal machinery to
enforce these laws. Ifths statutes are de-
fec.iys let the legislature enact new ones.
II tn, officials are incompetent or indis-
posed TO enforce the lsws, let the peo-
pie turn them out and get men
who will do their duty. But orderly,
intelligent communities want none OF
these suggestions shout vigilantes and de-
tectiyes. The proposition is all the more
outrageous that it comes from body
which, according to law, precedent and ira.
dition should be the conservators of order
and legal methods. This is not country
nor people to tolerate such spirit, and
everywhere in the state there will be.
hearty sentiment OF sympathy. with the
good people Of Dallas county and city, who
have been brought iEto unenviable notorle-.
ty through this monumental exhibition OF
stupidity and iucompetsncy. Nobody be-
lieves that in Dallas county society is so de.
moralized and rotten that the laws cannot
bs enforced there as in other sections OF the
state.-[Fort Worth Gazette.

FENCE-CUTTING.

Captain G. Goodnight, OF Armstrong
county, and Mr.. o. H. Nelson, OF Hall
county, prominent cattle men, are N the
CITY, guests of the Windsor hotel. In an
swer to questions by a HERALD reporter
concerning fence.cutting, they. both as
sured him that nothing of the KIND had &C,
CURED in their respective counties, ana
the most friendly relations existed in their
sections between the stock men and the
settlers. Captain Goodnight said that the
whole fence.cutting business boiled down
was that a small number of nomadio
cattle owners, who had no rancho OF
their own, objected to the fencing in
of the lands because their herds could not
range free over the land of their neighbours
and that it was this class of rowing stock
men if such they could be properly termed ,
that had been doing the fence emitting. IL
was not the farmers or settlers VINO
did it, for the stockmen had
as a rule left gates wherever
a public road crossed and frequently at
points asked for by the farmers. AS for
there being any trouble or misunderstand-
ing between the stockmen and the law
abiding citizens OF the state The very idea
was preposterous. Wild newspaper reports
had been published and sent abroad but
in the fence cutting districts they were
read with surprise and frequently feelings
of amusement. There had been gooo
deal of fence cutting in some sections he
stated, but it was generally done by STOCK
owners who had no Legitimate range.
