skating Rink Inproprieties.
NEW YORK, April 2oth-The Times pub
fishes the following: The newest phase of
diversion in the skating Kinks is the fraud
ulent character of some of the supposed
girls who join in the sport. The etiquette
practiced in most of the resorts permits
tn I'D
an offer of his services as a partner, and
out of the acquaintanceship made in that
informal manner are understood to arise
the principal abuses charged against the
Kinks i'll this city. But the outcome of the
custom is comical, too, in the fact that
numerous mischievous and sufficiently
eifeminate fellows masquerade in girls
clothes to the complete deception of both
spectators and partners. The counterfeits
have passed as genuine and very audacious
giddy creatures, and the managers of other
than badly reputed Kinks have permitted
their presence even to the extent of provid-
ing separate rooms and facilities for artistic
Disgusting. They claim that the joke is
innocent and funny The police take
different view. The proprietor of the Cos
mopolitan, one of the most popular Kinks
in upper Broadway, has been arrested
under the law forbidding srch practices
when intended TO deceive. and the deter
mination of the police is to stop the prac-
tice entirely.
The Bogus California Millionaire.
New YORK, April 20th-A New Haven
Conn special has the following additional
particulars regarding the bogus California
millionaire Woodruff: His wife displays
her ignorance of her husbands statements
here. She married him year ago in Sac
ramento, and he represented himself to be
a person of great wealth. In December he
induced her to come East to settle up the
alleged estate of Captain James Farnam, of
New Haven, which he said would net him
100000. She sold her homestead to furnish
ready money for the trip, and he gave her
a $4,000 certificate in a worthless Mexican
mine for the money. While here he has
been steadily deceiying her, and now the
lady is in frame of mind bordering on
frenzy. The persons who were expecting
to become the strange mans beneficiaries
are mad enough to shoot him on sight.
