SUNDAY EVENING sKATING IN THE PARK.

SUPERINTENDENT Jones, of Central Park. reported
to President Wales of the Park Board, yesterday.
that on Sunday evening he tried the experiment of
allowing skaters to remain on the lakes. The peo-
pie did not take advantage of the opportunity for
Sunday evening skating, however At o'clock
there were not more than $50 skaters on the main
lakes and only few on Harlem Mere. Shortly
after this the skaters cottage was closed, there
was no one in it and no prospect that there would
be- President Wales said that judging from this
experiment, il would not be worth while to incur
the extra expense of keeping the lakes open Sunday
evening. He thought that possibly there would
have been more skaters on the ice m the evening if
ii had been generally known that they could re-
main. The question will not be decided until at
least one more trial has been made.

WANTING PLACES IN COLUMBIA's CREW

"Our men working in the gymnasium" said
Columbia College Boat Club. yesterday. but the
University crew will not be chosen until April.
Over fifteen students have told me that they were
trying to obtain position in the crew, and there
are undoubtedly others who are working for the
same purpose. We sent Harvard a challenge in
crew this year will be mostly men, Lighter
men than last year will be chosen probably. After
the captain is chosen, he, Robert G. Cornell and
will choose the crew. This will remove favoritism

zel,eyed, golden-haired fairy, was

Bander.
But this fact alone was neither
incomprehensible nor exLraordina-
ry, for he was rs wealthy as she; he
was as handsome and learned a
man US she was u pretty and re-
fined woman; M, the rare feature
in the case was, that the relatives

press hot unqualified approval of
the brilliant match her child had
made. What il your sister,in.law
should agree with their mother?
Well, that was the astonishing
feature in Bellies aud the Doctors
engagement.
Theyloved each other devotedly,
ofcourse, but because there was no
opposition TO the match they lost u

joyous miseries, of courtshlp, They
felt as if they had been married for
years, because their goodbye kisses
were not stolen, but given and re.

would find difficult TO explain,

On the following morning he
found 1t IN his pocket, and while
resting from his professional work,
amused himself by thoroughly
scrubbing it. "But few Of us know
how beautiful an oyster shell is"
said he.
"As beautiful as Belle?p asked

Bandsr's operating chair read the

Collins continued his reading, as
Bander mechanically polished the
shell. Suddenly an idea presented
itself to him which seemed anus.

ribbon to the back Of the shell, aud
upon its face he painted the word
"snooper," lie ornamentod'its edge
with narrow riln ofgold and then
hung it on the wall Of his office,
among the paintings aud articles

collected on his travels.
When lie had finished his little
ornament, bib friend aruse, looked
at it, aud said!
"Regy, what is asaOoperH"
DR.. Bander, without changing a

"An apparatus designed tomake

For some reason both laughed,

National Republican., 1884-02-27
A Man and n Policy.

The Philadelphia Times publishes free
colum ns for the benefit Of each Of the great
political parties "Wanted-A Man and
Policy" As far as the republican party is
concerned, it has policy and plenty of men,
First, it proposes to protect American citizen
ship. Second, it proposes to protect American
labor. The man will be nominated and
elected who, in the judgment of the people,
is best fitted to carry out these two cardinal
principles. There arc many men whose
names have been mentioned in connection
with the nomination, any one of whom will
meet all the req uiTements Of winning can
didate.
The Times bewails the absence of living
issue. Is not the protection of American
citizens in the full and free exercise of their
civil and political rights living issue ?
| There are now dozen senators, and probably
twice as many representatives in congress,
who hold their seats against the will of a
majority of the people whom they claim to
represent. In some cases the subjugation oI
the majority has bOen so thorough and com.
plete that no attempt is made to oppose the rule
of the minority; in others the majority have
been deprived of the benefit of their votes by
chicanery and fraud even after their ballots
have been legally cast. Does not the delib
crate, systematic suppression of the votes
nearly one-half the citizens of the cottor
states constitute an issue that ought to be
submitted to the Judgment Of tho whole
people of the United States? Should the OK
ecutive power of the government be placed
in the hands of party that encourages ant
profits by this wholesale disfranchisement
BY means of the suppression of the ropub
lican vote in the south a party inimical
the protection OF American labor has obtaine
control of one branch of congress- bill
which would cripple and possibly destro
