Has it ever occurred to the
dancers that they are atriile seihsh
in their pleasure. 1t was not for
mcrlv considered necessary 10
have a creased floor to dance on,
but since the Inauguration OF the
dancing school, creased floor Is
thought to be essential. Now roll
Ter skating and creased floors do
not 90 well together, in fact skating
can hardly be done on a creased
floor, and when it is done, 1t Is
with anything but pleasure. The
! dancers should have some consid'
/ Grafton for the skaters and dispense
with creased floors, which are not
necessary to dancing, and are pro
hibitory to roller skating.

Mr.. Whitmarsh has become so
impressed with the virtues of Sa-

$4,000 and will erect large fac

manufacturing wood balls, on
which he proposes with the aid Of
Satanta Linament, to grow hair,
and sell them for cocoanuts. He
has a big thing, if the Satanta Co.

FORD AID MURPHY.

The last act OF tie Tragedy Is
over. Pat Ford and John Murphy, I
were hung on Friday, March Il, ,
1886. at a few minutes before one F.
o'clock. They attempted suicide /
the night before the execution, by
taking belladona, and both men
were executed while unable to
to stand. Murphy was partly con-
scious, but Pat Ford was almost
dead from the poison, and was en-
tireIy unconscious, The moose
was adjusted oil each of them
while they were unable to stand,
and the trap sprung. In the vest
pocket of Pat Ford was found the
following note:
New ORLEANS, March II, 1886, at
night.
| To the Good Sisters of Mercy and
ali my Religious friends:
Icannot bear the terrible disgrace
| bring on my innocent offsprings.
| | don't deserve the terrible ending.
NV enemies have triumphed this
time. Baker and Cunningham you
| leave my curse.
Balance my blessings. l have
been Respondent to-day. | will
answer all to my God, good friends.
"Minos," DR.. Holland, c. II. Par
ker, your time next. So dear Sis
tiers forgive me, as well as ell.
| Goodbye. p. I'll. FORD.
The n. o. States in giving his.
tory of the crime for which Ford
and Murphy were hung says:
At the time of the murder every
paper published in the city and
; country, denounced the crime in
the strongest terms, and demanded
that the five men pay the penalty
of it with their lives.
The TINES cannot permit this
statement to pass current, without
, decided protest. Far from de-
handing the lives of these men,
the MADISON TIMES, waited fol
some evidence before expressing al
opinion, and during the first trial
saw, and said plainly, that there
was no evidence to convict them
On no occasion has the TIMES said
or thought that the trials were fair
and it asserted fatty that the con
viction was the result of a violently
expressed public opinion, and the
terrorizing of the jury. Theil
) deaths are, in the opinion of thu
Y TINES, a scandal on the State, an(
a powerful argument against +
board of pardon. The TINES be
lieves these men were bounded t.
p. p. death, and is happy in being abb
to say, that it never took part il
the demand for their deaths. TIL
n first paper in the State that raise
S its voice in favor of fair play t
: these men, was the TIMES, an
!. while it does not blame any othe
paper, it maintains that it nevc
joined in the clamor against tn
, Fords and their friends.

In an article on strikes, the

they merely refuse to run the trains,
but the strikers do not only refuse

they will not let others run them.

Observation-Disclosures

HOLIDAYS-COLLEGE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
AMHERST, Mass, Dec. 25.-1he rush of the holk
day season has swept over Amherst. and although
the students are mostly all gone the town still
presents lively aspect. The merchants have all
risen to the occasion in their supply Of all thngs
beautiful and useful for their patrons. Amherst
PEOPLE arc often congratulated. and with reason,
on the excellence Of their stores and business
blocks as well for their external and general
effect as for what may be found within. The
destructive fires which a few years ago sweeps
away large a part Of the business portions,
might almost be called blessing, so far have the
rebuilt blocks surpassed their originals.
The fall tenn of the college closed al noon last
Tuesday after a session Of fourteen weeks. Every
thing has run smoothly and both students and
faculty are agreed that the college has propcred.
A smaller class than usual entered in the fall. but
the faculty inclined to think that better results
can be obtained with small than with large
Glasses. The football team did excellent work. and
although tie league was broken up so that no
exact standing was obtained. yet everybody feels
better satisfied than if the college had calmly
submitted to the dictation OF Williams Dr.
Field has retired from the college Passionate aud
his successor DIR. Burroughs. will be Installed
early in the winter term. The new biological
laboratory has been fully completed and put into
everyday rhetorical hall has been made OF
the lower story of the old gymnasium Important
and extensive changes have been made IN tho
curriculum. making it more optional rather than
introducing any new studies As yet the college
has been unable to obtain an instructor in Ing
lsh literature for next term. and the study VIII
probably be omitted until the summer term. when
Professor NeiIl hopes to be able to resume his
work.
The question Of where to locate the station OF
the Massachusetts, Central is being agtated. "Iha
Record strongly urges that the scheme OF
union der OF with the n. L. n, which would seem
to be advantageous but for the fact that such
station must necessarily be at considerable
distance from the village. Work between Wars
and Amherst will be pushed on during the win
ter, and early summer will without doubt seq
the road completed to Northampton.
