FRIVOLOUS MEN LACKING.

It's very curious complaint that comes
from the sunny Southland. but one indica-
tive of the new life which has been infused
into its veins and the earnest purpose which
is animating its people. a Southern
society girl declares that there are no frivo-
lous men any more, that everybody is 80
drPadfulIy in earnest for working that there
isn't good cOmrade left" That is just
what the Southern states and other portions
of the country, too, need; more earnest
devotion to the work of developing
natural and individual resources ana less
attention to the frivolous side of life.
1t is doubtless an excellent thing for one 20
enjoy the refining and subdVng influences
of society. For young men especially there
is the possibility of inestimable good TO be
found in the company of pure and intelli-
gent women. In no other way are the
rough corners smoothed down so effectually
and the evil tendencies of modern city life
so successfully cOmbatted. But when So
ciety departs so far from this ideal standard
as to mean scarcely more than an
aggregation of men and women
for the purpose of spending money
In oStentatlouS display ana Tor turning
night into a riotous and Notwithstanding
substitute for day, the young man. who rec
ognizing that he was put into this world for
some better purpose, resolutely turns his
back upon the alluring temptations which
bright eyes and catching music holds out
and devotes himself first to the practical af
fairs of life, is certainly worthy of com
mendation. That this sort of social re-
bellion has had decided effect in forward
ing the material prosperity of the country is
nowhere better illustrated than in the re-
markable advance made in the South. once
noted for the magnifcence of its social life.
and in the wonders wrought by the progress
sive spirit of the West in comparison with
the sloth which the exactions of Eastern
society renders inevitable.

POk Err AT YALE.
How Young Seeker After Knowl-
edge Won S245.
Special TO the Globe

Special TO the Globe.
NEW HAVEN. Conn, Feb. 5.-The biggest
poker hand held at Yale of late years was on
last night in a game between five students.
The man who won laid down a straight flush
on spades, with an ace at the head of it, and
scooped in the very nice little pot of S245.
The man who stayed with him and finally
called him had bet on four Fights, which he
held pat.
Yes, il was the biggest hand I ever saw
held in a poker game" said a young cOllegian
present, land the excitement among the boys
was great. Five of US had commenced the
play early in the evening. At 1850 we agreed
TO close after five jack pots. Four were I'M
eyeutful. The fifth put up to aces, and the
bets ran up till all but two of US dropped out.
There was a good pile on the table when the
fellow with four Fights put down a $50 and
called. He thought the pot his TO dead GER
tainty. Then came the fun. Sorry for you,
old boy said the holder of the royal flush,
but I'll have TO take the money,
and on the top of the heap of bank
notes be placed the ace, king, queen, Jack
and the ten of spades. By Jove, you never
saw such excitement Charles threw his four
Fights on the table, and turned as pale as a
sheet. believe he would have tainted if we
hadn't gwen him a drink of brandy. He was
SO completely uunerved that we had TO carry
him home. You can beI on one thing.
He won't play poker any more for some time
to come"
The winner and loser are both sons OF
wealthy men. The former is from England
and the latter is Western man with an
allowance OF 800 year. Unless his father
supplies the shortage he will be obliged to re-
strict his expenditures for month or so.

THE DAKOTA DIVISION BILL.

The South Dakota bill passed the senate
yesterday by party vote. with the eXcep-
ton of Mr.. voorhees, of Indiana. who voted
with the majority. This indicates that the
whole question of admission of the territory
ma S sunken to the level of a partisan move
ment and virtually blasts all hopes Of Da-
kota's admission during this session. The
bill will now go to the house. where the
party lines will again be drawn and the
measure rejected in its present form. An
attempt will doubtless be made TO amend
the bill by dividing the territory on the
Missouri river and to create the territory of
Lincoln. The effect of this amendment will
most probably be to divide the division
lists and put the question Of admis-
sion in still more complicated condition.
A bill to admit Dakota as whole would
unquestionably pass the house Of represent
atives, but would be just as certain to be
defeated in the senate. With the senate
opposed to admitting the territory as a
whole and the house opposed to division, it
may be set down as a moral certainty that
Dakota has no show from the present con-
gress to be admitted into the Union. 1t is
a matter of profound regret that congress
could not rise superior to partisan consid-
erations and consider the question in the
light of principle.

UnprOvokeu killing.

WACO. Tex, Feb. 5.-The dining hall of
the McClelland hotel was the scene of a
tragedy last night. Two travelling sales
men. S. Z. Graham of St. Louis and Will
lam Lamb of Chicago, were seated opposite
each other and became involved in a quar-
rel, Lamb declaring that man who trav-
eled for a st. Louis house was no
good. Graham made reply, at
which Lamb attacked and knocked
him down, although Graham was
much the larger man. Graham pulled a
revolver and fired four shots, three taking
effect. Lamb died a few hours later.
Graham declares that he never met
Lamb before he met him going to the dining
room. He says he thought Lamb was try
ing to commence quarrel for the purpose
Of taking his life, as he (Lamb) had some
unknown enemies in Texas on account Of
his intimate relations with woman whose
husband and friends had threatened hun.
After the inquest this afternoon Graham
was amitted to bail.

RIand Rises TO Explain.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Representative
Bland of Missouri, voicing the opinion of
the silver Democrats of the house, desires
TO correct the impression which, he says,
has gained currency. that the Republicans
voted sOlidly on Wednesday last against
Mr.. Hewitt's motion to reeominit, with in
structions, the resolution reported from the
committee on coinage, weights and meas
ures, calling for information as 10 silver
circulation. He says that of the 90 votes
for the motion 80 were Republicans and 60
Democrats, while of the 1874 votes against
1t so were cast by Democrats, showing a
majority of 20 Democrats against the mo-
ton. He further says:
There are many Democrats who are silver
men who voted for the Hewitt motion be-
cause they doubted the propriety OF asking
the secretary of the treasury to define his
future policy as to silver payments

TIE STORMING SCENE.

The more that the scene of storming the
ice castle. witnessed on Thursday night, is
studied the more it grows in the beauty of
its splendOr and effect. 1t is no wonder
that those who saw it are urgent that it
shall be repeated, and those who failed to
witness it are still more eager that it shall
be gone through with again. A more beau
tiful pyroteehnic display was never wit
messed. The scene will long linger in tie
memory of tie tens of thousands who be-
held it like a lovely fairy dream. But if it
is to be repeated, as it is understood it
will be on the evening of Grand Army day,
1t has been suggested that an improvement
might be made by adding more
noise to the conflict in order to
give it a more real semblance of war.
A battery of artillery placed on the hill
above the castle and keeping up constant
fire would give realistic effect TO
the mimic battle. 1t is possible that
the detail of a battery for the purpose could
be had by applying to the commandant at
Fort Smelling. Or if the artillery could
not be obtained then to substitute mock
cannonade. as is often done in theaters, and
which would have an equally good effect
More than twenty years have passed since
there has been war in this country, and
there are great many people who never
witnessed battle and who would like to
see the nearest resemblance to one that
could be produced.

There is little to be regretted in the dec
laration that dancing and other parties fall
to arouse enthusiasm sufficient to insure a
respectable attendance since the adoption Of
winter sports has become so general. With
considerable justice it has been urged that
the late hours and exposure 10 sudden
changes of temperature in garments Of the
fiimsiest texture which characterize modern
social entertainments require not only the
possession of the soundest kind of consti-
tuition to withstand any evil effects,
but very frequently are the cause
of more injury than the greatest
imaginable amount of enjoyment to be
gained could ever compensate for. But
with the rivaling form of winter entertain
ments, particularly with tObogganing. the
case IS quite different. Clad in garments
admirably adapted to the sport. the partict-
pants, while deriving undoubted benefit
from the exercise in the open air, are in no
danger from exposure, even to the tender
mercies of sub-Zero weather. There is a
positive gain in health, together with the
enjoyment, instead of the negative result
of holding ones own in a contest with late
hours and their attendant evils. The tobog-
gan craze is wholesome one. and it is to
he hoped that it Will long retain its popu-
larity. especially among the young women,
too little accustomed to outdoor exercise,
for many years to come. There is, Of
course, a time for dancing. but the time
which nature allows for tobogganning is
limited and should be made the most of
even if the more time-honored diversion
should suffer in consequence.

THEGRANT FUND.
Refusal OF the Trust by the United
States Trust Company.


Special TO the Globe.
New YORK, Feb. 5.-Judge Noah Davis
and Mr.. Henry Day. who were appointed
to draw up deed of trust making the
United States Trust company the trustee of
the Grant fund, have performed their work,
but the company refuses to accept the
trust, because it involves prospect of liti-
CATION. 1t may be recalled that Mr.. George
Jones, who managed the fund, invested
S216, 900 of it in Wabash consolidated mort
gage bonds. worth S1SS, 900 at par. The
bonds were bought of Gov. Morgan, who,
in consideration of the premium of S2S, 900,
guaranteed the principal and interest at
per cent. for ten years. The bonds are in
default.
THE Morgan guarantee" Mr.. Day said to-
day, provides that in case the bonds become
due within ten years from the date of the
guarantee Gov. Morgans estate will pur-
point to be ascertaIned is on what terms do
the bonds become due. We find that the
terms are the principal of bonds shall become
due within six months after there shall be q
default il the payment OF interest at the OPP
ton of majority of the bOndholders, eX-
pressed in writing TO the trustees. AS there
has been no such option expressed the execu-
tors are bound 10 consider the bonds not yet
due. The question may be settled, although
l doubt it, by a friendly suit. The executors
do not regard this as a technical question
within the purview of their authority 10 de-
eide. Under no consideration will the eXecu-
tors repudiate Gov. Morgans written prom
ise.'
There is little probability of the bond
holders asking that the bonds be declared
due before the expiration of Gov. MOrgan's
guarantee in March, 1890.
