but she remained obdurate and the doctor
gave up his practice and went 10 live with

SINCE skating Kinks have taken hold of the
popular fancy, there has been a continual
outcry against them Tor physical and moral
reasons. But the most effective argument
used against them was that they encouraged
a promiscuous intercourse between the sexes
hatleft guleless young women the easy prey
of adventurcrs. To offset this and other allega-
tions a league has been formed by the rink
men of Chicago, and to guard against sup
posed evils the new association has adopted
an elaborate moralcode for the personal OBJ
servance of their patrons, as follows: "No
person in attendance at rink shall approach
a woman in any way, except, of course,
where she should need assistance in case of ac-
cident, unless proper introduction shall
have taken place. and parties so offending
shall be expelled from tho rink ; nor shall
they be allowed 10 skate al any of the rinks
included In the association This is for the
protection Of women and young girls from
the advances of any one, male or female,
who may seek to make himself or herself
obnoxious or who has bad purpose in view."
The provisions are good, but their enforce
ment will be herculean task.

Sensible stanford.

Senator Stanford, of California, has said
to a Herald correspondent that the stories
about the parade, with which his son was
taken from Europe to his grave in Califor-
mia are altogether untrue, and have been
very painful to himself and his wife, who
were as little ostentatious es possible in
laying their dead child TO rest. News
paper reporters do great many cruel
things in their greed for an entertaining
paragraph, but 1t does seem rs though they
might be able TO control themselves so as to
leave father and mother bereft of their
only child alone in their grief, or at least
tell only the truth about them when
they do intrude upon their threshold.
Senator Stanford says that he proposes
to make disposition of his great estate in
his life time, being thoroughly alarmed at
the litigation which follows so frequently
the distribution of great properties by will
lie is certainly very wise. A man who
has greater income than he need.
for himself, is wise to dispose of it befor,
he dies especially when he projects pub
lie benefaction. Not only is he thus sur,
that his wishes will he carried out, but h,
himself is then best interpreted and has TIN
| greatest interest to see that his benefcenc,
| is most effectually established.

JOE EMMETT and Barney McAuley act the

Ir is not so pleasant to be prince. bere
is Albert Victor, of Wales, who is expected
to lay all the corner stones of all the notable
new buildings erected in the kingdom, and
to deliver addresses at the opening of all the
fairs that are floating, where the purpose is
some large public charity. Then when a
trouble arises with rebellious subjects, like
those in Ireland at the present time, or a
complication with some foreign power, as,
for instance, that now with Germany, he is
sent, willing or unwilling, on visit of placa-
ton. This may be endurable to prince,
but to an everyday American citizen it
would be a most tremendous bore.

WHEN one metropolitan journal says in
reference to the Russo-Afghan complication
"the place of Europe is no more assured to-
day than it was during the anxious weeks of
this same month thirty-two years ago. and
another that "peace between England and
Russia, it is now believed, has been practi-
cally secured" what are the uninformed
public to do? If England and Russia were
wise, they would permit these foreign corre-
spondents to settle all their international diff
culties, and if assurance would go any dis
distance toward an amicable arrangement,
these diplomats would soon pluck honorable
safety out of the nettle danger.
