Notwithstanding the dissgreeabIe weather, 2 very large crowd attended the Dwight street rink last evening. attracted by the notice of 8 double exhibition of fancy and trick skating to be given by Professors Dennis and Card, of this city. As might have been expected the exhibition was an exceedingly fine one, the professors execut- ing many movements which surprised even those who were well acquainted with their skating. The jumping done by Professor Card was particularly noticeable. he jump ing first over six, then over ten, and finally over twelve chairs all at once. The costumes worn by these gentlemen were very elegant, and said to be the finest in use in the pro- fession. They consisted of light blue velvet coat trimmed with white fur and gold cord, blue silk tights with anklets of fur, and 8 fur cap to match. Taking all things into consideration the exhibition was 8 great success, being equal if not superior to any ever given here by out of town parties.

When the Sparks company played "A Bunch of Keys" at Carll's Opera House a while ago they gave 8 performance which was funny enough, but their performance last evening was still more entertaining than the one they gave here before. The audience was delighted and laughed till it crisd. Mr. Eugene Garfield, who figures as 8 noble hearted brakeman, with 8 desire to be ''tough, "'and also as very efficient '.front" in hotel, was exceedingly mirth provoking, and MT. Charles Bowser, who psrsonates legal gentleman and hotel keeper, was also very comical. Lena Merville as Teddy Keys" was very attractive and efficient; and Marietta Nash as Dolly Dobbs" did much to make the performance lively and pleasing She was repeatedly applauded, as she deserved to be. The rest of the company did what they had to do well. The company will play again this afternoon, and also this evening, and those who enjoy good clean fun, and plenty of it, will find profit in attending aither of the performances.

Extradftion with Canada.

MONTREAL. Oct. AT the quarterly meeting
of the Board of Trade, the president read a let
ter from the Minister of Justice. in response to
a request, that efforts be made for a revision of
the extradition treaty, in view of the alarming
increase of defalcation and the immunity which
is allowed defaulters. The Minister explains
that, although the matter had frequently of
late, engaged the watehful consideration of the
governments, no steps could be taken, as the
matter rested with the imperial authorities. It
is understood, however, in government circles,
that negotiations are in progress between the
United States and the home government, but so
far no satisfactory decision has been arrived at.
This is due TO the fact that the American gov
eminent failed to agree to a particular clause in
regard to the presentation of the extradited
person on more than one charge.

A Move in the Right direction.

The Chicago roads, have taken hold of one of
the demoralizing features in freight traffic IN a
manner which promises good results. Joint
Agent Moore, at the request of the Lake Shore
people, called a meeting of the managements of
the Eastern lines out of Chicago for the purpose
of devising some means for securing a uniform
export tariff. One of the most dangerous OBJ
stacles in the way of a successful operation of
the ~trunk-line pool has been the quotation of
through rates to foreign ports. The Grand
Trunk via Montreal, and the Pennsylvania via
Philadelphia, have been charged repeatedly with

Another View Of the Matter.

"a manufacturer in this city who travels ex-
tersively, while East last week noticed in an
Eastern paper an extract from the Journal. The
article referred to was a criticism of a general
manager of one of the Western roads in regard
TO underbiliing and shippers tickets. This man
ufacturer takes exception to parts Of General
Managers criticism, especially shippers tickets,
but in the first place he wants to know what
right the general manager has to haul $4,000
pounds of freight when he gets pay forbut 25, 600
pounds, and says while the general manager
would not help to conceal stolen goods, he doesn't
see the difference in this case, as the shipper
stole the freight on the difference between
twenty-five and forty-two thousand pounds, and
the general manager, knowing such to be the
fact, helped him to do it if he failed to get for
his road the freight on that which he knew to be
underbilled In regard to shippers tickets the man
ufacturer says it has been demonstrated that
more money has been made carrying passengers
at three cents per mile than was ever made at
four cents or more; and as long as emigrants and
theatricals are carried at less than one cent, men
who ship thousands of tons of freight ought to
have low rates."
The writer of the above is in error regarding
the 1,O0O-mile shippers tickets. No railroad
manager will object to carrying shippers with
], 1000 mile tickets at reduced rates, but the bet
ter class Of railroad men object to giving away
j, 000- mile tickets to court business.

Dresses for school-Girls.

May 1 ask why cur girls are dressed like that
to go to school" The speaker was a young man.
the father of three daughters, the eldest of
whom was fourteen. He stood looking after
them as they passed down the street, with a
puzzled expression on his face. The girls were
dressed as if for a party or festival, with rib
bons and laces-an attire, which if proper
thought and attention were given to it, would
preclude the possibility of giving much attention
to study. Possibly he thought as he stood there
of the little girls he once knew, who went to
school in calico dresses and white aprons. and
shoes devoid of ornaments, unless, indeed, the
bright tips on the ends of their shoestrings could
be considered in that light--little girls who were
frequently at the head of the spelling class, and
not seldom arrived at a satisfactory conclusion
of their Sums" before he did. His girls, he
knew, only barely managed to pass from one
room to another at the end of the year, and his
boy of nine could DO more accurate work than
his girl of fourteen Rightly or wrongly, he set
down their failures to clothes, and turning to his
wife, he said: You and the girls are exhibiting
the fact daily that we have more money than
brains, and hereafter if they 90 to school they
shall go suitably dressed" She brought forward
the argument that all the other girls dress so,
that it is the rule and not the exception for our
young girls to go TO school dressed irappropiately
and in the worst possible taste. The effect of
this upon character is and must be marked; be-
sides the mental loss there is moral loss also.
The feeling of exultation over those who have
less than they must be cultivated. Sweet
charity and all the once respected virtues cannot
be developed and grown in such soil.

The scalpers Making Trouble.

Tt seems that the agreement between the In
dianapolis ticket scalpers to pay over to the pur-
chaser of a ticket but ST. of their commission
was only a blind. Yesterday they were throw
ing off 81 and sometimes So rather than miss a
sale to Kansas points. The scalpers, it is alleged,
are selling tickets of two of the Western lines,
while the other two are not working through
scalpers. The latter will doubtless, to-day, de-
eide to meet the rate made by their two com
petitors through the scalpers and indications
now are that west-bound rates will be as badly
demoralized before the close of the week as they
were a month ago. 1t is much more honorable
to cut rates openly than to cut them through
scalpers as there is pretty good evidence two of
the Western lines are now doing.

A Contain Manufacturers Scheme to Adver-
tise His Wares.

BALTIMORE. Md, Oct. IA huge hoax was
perpetrated here to-day, which resulted in hum
bugging fully 100, 600 persons. The joke was n
cleverly arranged advertising dodge upon the
part of a~certain manufacturer, and did its author
credit. For several days past brief mention had
been made in the daily papers here of the CON
templaied visit to this city of q fabuIously
wealthy Spanish DoA named Don Bernardo

Carrollton Hotel, and that this morning he
would visit one of the prominent Catholic
churches, and in the afternoon would visit Druid
Hill Park and the City Hall, and at both places
he would distribute large sums of
money to the poor. 1t was as
tonishing how the story was believed. The
Catholic churches were jammed, 90, 900 victims
visited the park, while thousands swarmed
around the hotel and City Hall. In the latter
place even prominent officials were misled. 1t
is said that superintendent James Donnelly was

scene in full dress with special deputies to re
ceive the distinguished visitor, while prominent
public officials were in attendance with friends
to bask in the sun of anticipated greatness.
Outside in the street the police tried hard to, rea-
son with the populace, but they refused to bulge
and many poor men and women, who had
tTudged long distances, would appeal to the
doorkeepers to inquire when the rich man would
arrive who was to help them, and when unde-
ceived, turned away with tears of disappoint-
ment in their eyes. This was the worst feature
of the entire affair, as these unfortunates were
many. The ridicule upon those who should have
known better is immense. Among those fooled
are numbered some of the most prominent citi-
zens, including judges of the bench, lawyers,
merchants, and even the police officers them
selves. Large crowds Wake to the extreme
end of the city in hopes of seeing the fabulous
vessel.

Through Business Improbable to New Eng
land Roads.

Some weeks ago it was mentioned that the
New York & New England management had
come to the conclusion that through business in
connection with Western roads did not pay, and
they would not attempt to foster it. This has
led other roads to investigate the matter. 1t is
now alleged that it was a struggle for through
Western traffic that hurt tie Boston & Lowell so
badly a few years ago, and the same kind of a
contest has diminished the dividends of the
Fitchburg. 1t was sworn by an official of the
Boston & Albany, a few years ago, that two
thirds of the net earnings came from passenger
traffic and the other third from local freight
traffic; and that the through traffic was not only
without profit to the Boston & Albany, but the
millions of additional capital required to provide
facilities for it were just so much increased bur
den upon passenger and local freight traffic, and
necessitated increased charges upon the same.

shading the inland portion of their export
rates. Their defense, when an unusually low
export quotation has been given, has been inva-
riably that the cut was made on the ocean end,
and that the inland rate was in strict accordance
with tariff. AS no proof is ever attainable that
the inland portion of an export rate is less than
tariff, this explanation had to be accepted, but
there has always remained a suspicion that r.
Irregularities have been carried on in export bust
ness. 1t is proposed to romeay the trouble by
the respective steamship lines reporting daily to
Joint Agent Moore, the tariff rate for each day

mated.

A Good, Reliable Property.

The Louisville & Nashville road is too good a
property to be tossed about by the bears on the
New York Stock Exchange. The report just
published shows that the company owns abso-
lutely 1,616 miles of road; operates under lease,
260 miles; operates per account of South &
North Alabama, 1873 miles; owns a majority of
stock in 855 miles; jointly leases go miles, and
operates so miles additional, making a total of
3,679 miles. While it shows that the floating
debt is about S., 900, 900, for which provision
ought to be made, there is much in the report
to encourage the stockholders of the road. The
property is very valuable, its business is increas-
ing, and few roads in the country have better
prospects for the building up of a very large
and very profitable traffic in the near future.
The extensions of the road, and the securing
control of other lines, without which the Louis
vile & Nashville could never have been more
than a mere local road with limited resources,
have involved large expenditures, and the de-
pressed condition of general trade and loss of
confidence in all railroad securities have put
serious hardships upon the company.
