Roller sHsviIg Precautions.

CHICAGO, Ill, Narrr Z4.-The cru.
sade which oertsn ministers of the
gospel have been baking against roller
skating rinks ha. resulted in the for
nation of n lague. composed OF
the owners Of tip numerous rinks OF
this city, to cor bat certain alleged
evils.
3 The patronage d the rinks in this city
has been very Urge, but their exist
ence has been ineighed against by .
portion of the pulut on moral grounds,
and the opinions Y various physicians
have been quoted " the press to the
effect that roller stating Is physically
injurious.
The managers offhe rinks deny all
these intimations, particularly the one
that the moral toni Of the places Ia not
equal to that of otler places of amuse.
ment, but to quail against supposed
evils, the new association has adopted
an elaborate mora lcode for the person.

provides as fOllowE
No person in attendance at rink

except, of courS. where she should
need assistance incase of accident, un

taken place, and parties 80 offending
shall be expelled from the rink.
Nor shall they 70 allowed to skate a

The code provide, that tests Of spec,

though there was a sentiment favorabl
to prohibiting these tests altogether
while tests of endurance exceeding thre

An Ola Lady = Long Journey.

mouuby aiternOOu IN olu6Tly woman
was found on Front street by officer
Vickars, who, upon learning that she
was homeless and friendlesss in a
where she as kindly cared for by Mrs.
Vickars, and afterwards taken to the
police station and placed in room on
the second floor.
She was interviewed this morning by a
reporter of the REPUBLICAN, aud stated
that her name is Elizabeth Croft. She
IL q native of Pennsy lvania, and was
horn In Lancaster County in 1906, ,conse
quently she IL now in the 10Th year of
her age.
Some 80 years ago she removed with
her husband TO Massachusett where
they lived until IA years ago, when
they again removed and went to Old
ham. Maine 126 miles from Bangor, and
but miles this side of Canada, where
he followed his business as tailor and
made comfortable living.
The children had grown up and left
their parents to make homes for them
selves, one daughter going to Odessa,
In this State, where she died not long
ago, while another daughter and son
settled in Baltimore, where they have
married aud have comfortable homes of
old lady's husband was seized with
Consumption, and from that time until
his death, on the fifteenth of last
Dec ember, he was unable to earn a
living, and consequently they found
themselves in their old age almost
reduced to want.
Some few weeks ago Mrs. Croft deter
mined 10 try 10 get to her children in
Baltimore, and notwithstanding the
TACT that she barely had money enough
to take her part of the way, started
on the long journey. The weather was
J Intensely cold, and she was but
Iscantily clad and under all the circum-
stances it was an undertaking from
which many younger person would
} have shrunk.
u When she reached Bridgeport, Conn,
her money gave out. and she found
herself penniless in strange place.
She begged somethl ing to eat, and then
started on foot for New York, walking
, the entire distance except 18 miles,
3 when some one took pity on her and
gave her money enough to take her in
: the cars the remainder of the way.
3 After reaching that city she went int
f d store, and after stating her situation
10 the proprietor he gave her mopey
0 enough to buy ticket TO Princeton
! Junction, where a baggage master gave
t her ticket for Trenton.
g She walked from Trenton to Beverly
when again some one gave her a little
money and she rode to Fishtown. Hel
money being exhausted, she agair
started ON foot and walked 10 Camden
t n. j., where some one gave her small
1 sum with which she crossed the rive
|. to Philadelphia, and then took a street
car which would take her as far as pos

DOVER, March M.-The bill todivorce
Rene j. F0ugeray FROM his wife Sarah
r. Fougeray passed the Senate this
morning though not without q strong
opposition. Senators Houston and
Roe did not desire TO show their, hands

they were absent from the cham Der
during the consideration Of the bill,
which WAS passed by vote of four TO
three, Messrs. Cvender, Chandler and
Mustard voting In the negative.
Senator Martin called up his bill
providing for q constitutional conven-
tion this afternoon not, as he stated, for
the purpose OF pressing its Immediate
passage but simply to bring the subj ect
before the minds of the Senators. He
gave history of the State constitution
from the time Of its foundation up to the
present, and claimed that the only prop
or way to amend the constitution was
by the voice Of the people as expressed
by their representatives in convention.
The members of the Legislature were

tion.

He did not consider himself competent
TO vote upon measures increasing the
number OF mem bers of the General
Assembly, changing the Judiciary
system Of the State, which had been
founded by some of the ablest men tho
State ever knew.or of altering the con
stitution In any way. He was con-
vinced that many changes were neces-
sary, but it WAS not the province Of the
Legis ature to make these changes.
Senator McWhoIter stated that he
agreed with the Gentleman from SeafOrd
In all these facts, and he was in favor
Of "a constitutional convention, but AZ a
representative Of New Castle County he
thought 1t was his duty TO oppose that
part of the bill giving to each county
AN equal number OF delegates in the
convention.
1T this objection could be removed 90
that New Castle County could have a
just representation In the convention
then he was ready TO vote for the bill.
Al ftsr very interesting discussion the
bill was laid upon the table. The bill
abolishing the SO license fee upon
lawyers and doctors Ii dead killed by
the very men for whose benefit it was
intended. The measure was opposed
and voted against by Senators Martin
and Mustard, both of whom are prac.
ticing physicians.
They claimed that if the bill would pass
an opportunity would be given ignoran,

doctors had been passing laws for theil
own benefit. The bill was lost by a til
