Altoona Tribune: The managers
OF public balls have the ha bit of an.
nounslng that no woman of doubtful
reputation will be admitted. We do
not object to that. But why not 90
a step farther? Why discriminate in
the line OF sex? Why not make their
announcements read that no person
of doubtful reputation will be admit
ed' If impure women are not fit to
mlngle with those who frequent pub
lie ball rooms, are not impure mon
unit also? There would be no fallen
women, If there would be no licen-
tious mon. If tie victim is to be
dsbarred, why not her betrayer alsol
Can 1t be that virtuous girls and wo-
men, while unwilling to associate
with those of their own sex who have
gone wrong, have no objection to the
friendship of men who make it the
business of their lives to destroy in
nocence? We think this invidious dis
tlnctlon against sinners should cease.
Ihers is no sex in crime.

MuIss are all right in their place,
but Tor racing whether for political
or other races, they in the long run
bring disast0r. Here is q case in
point, which took place some days
ago at Newport Arkansas. Peter
Smith of Fisher, a station on the
Cotton Bolt Railway, 90 miles south
Of Newport has been in the habit Of
riding fast horse ahead of a pass
engsr train on the track Tor about
half O mile TO a crossing whore he
would turn and laugh at the train
men as the train sped By. His sue
cess in beating the train to the cross
ing on his horse encouraged bim to
try It with mule. Yesterday he
mounted his mule, and as the train
started up, Peter set out ahead at a
full gallop. It soon became evident
that the mule was not swift enough
10 reach the crossing in tina. The
train continued to gain on him very
fast, end within half d, zen yards
of the crossing, the mule stumbled
and fell. 1t rolled over ths rails, but
