FUN ON SKATES.

splendid Ice and a Throng of Fancy
Swimmers In Greenyille.
Every person in Jersey City who owned
a pair of skates seemed to be in Green
Vile yesterday, sktmming over the CLASSY
surface OF the Canal and the Newark
Bay, and cutting spread eagles, figure
Fights. and outer edges on the seven
inches OF ice. From ten O'Clock in the
morning until nearly midnight there was
q steady flow of enthusiasts who
Drayed the zero weather to satisfy the
yearning they had felt since the cold snap
began. The weather was cold, biting
cold, and the wi nd whistled in a manner
that made skating against it q rather
tiresonie task. The ice was in excellent
condition, however, and who cared
whether 1T was cold or not.
There were all sorts and conditions of
skaters on the canal-old men, maidens,
young men ans the well known small
boy. There were graceful skaters and
awkward skaters. There were girls who
could skate and girls that were pulled
along by their '~'brothers."
For the first time Ia three years the ice
on Newark Bay was strong enough for
skating. and at four O'Clock there were at
least three hundred people gliding over
the smooth surface.
Numerous skating parties started on
the Canal at West Bergen aud skated
around by way Of "Diek Uldrich's" and
the idle Hour'' to the Communipaw
avenue bridge in Lafayette. Under the
numerous bridges the ice was as solid as
q rock, and the skating parties went
through" without one stop. Ice seldom
forms on the canal near the Zinc Works
on account of the hot water which issues
from the works and skaters could not go
beyond Communipaw avenue.
MosI of the people went home at dark,
but there were new arrivals on every
train on the Central Railroad, and on
every horse car, and at ten O'Clock the
scene was as animated as it was earlier
In The day,
There were several fancy skaters on
Newark Bay and they attracted crowds
OF admirers. The best of them all, good
judges said. was "Bob" Jackson, the
w~ell-known boxer. John Schulz z and
George Kerner of the Garfield Athletic
CLUB, also did some fancy work that was
greatly admired.

A Heap Of trouble to Himself.

One night oil one of my side trips in the
mountains of the Cumberland, I slept at
u cabin where the accommodations were
as narrow as the hosts liberality was
broad. My bed was in the loft and 1
reached it by a ladder. In the morning
when l had arisen 1 felt that a little cold
water for my hands and face would not
be very unwholesome. and as there was
none in sight I called for the small boy of
the house aud he came to the foot of the
ladder. / looked down through the hole
in the door and told him what / wanted,
and he invited me out into the yard,
where there was q trough full of water
and a piece of coffee sack stuff hanging to
a post for y towel. The boy, who's face
hadn't been washed for a month and
whose tow hair hadn't been combed for a
year., watched my proceedings with inter
est. When | began to comb my hair
with my pocket comb he felt compelled
to talk.
do yer wash yer face every dayf" he
inquired c%uriously.
Usually" / replied with a smile.
San comb yer hair?"
Yes"
Every day2" he repeated.
Yes, every day."
It was too much for him and he was
silent for a moment
WELL" he said at last, don't yer
think yer a heap Nv trouble to yerselt?"
That time it was too much for me, and
/ gave him a dime and told him to go off
aud have a picnic.-Detroit Free Press.

The Dyspeptic Pepys s@w Her on the
English Stage.
In Pepys's diary, under date of January
8, 1860, we read: by coach to the theatre
at 8 O'Clock, where was acted the Beg
CARS Bush:' and here for the first time l
saw women come upon the stage, and
which ! thought was more to nature"
We have no record of the appearance
upon the stage of any woman singer until
1895. when. as the Londo y Gazetteer. No.
1884, has it. .the Italian LADY, just come
from over the sea. VINO is famous for her
singing, will perform"
The first English woman that ever
sang In public was Mrs. lofts. whom
Colley Cibber extols as d handsome
woman with a sweet, silver-toned voice.
She appeared in 1903. And, just by the
way, the stage offers the only profession
where the equality of women's work with
mems has been prove couclusively.
In all other sciences aud arts women
have occasionally snone. despite the
efforts of men to belittle their achieve
ments, but in the fields of thespic en-
deavor women nave always Wed with

mentality and artistic conception as have

4 CASE or MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

Why Billy Patterson Bore the Punish
ment Which Anoth err Deserved.
A good story is told at the expense of a
recently appointed supervisor of the pub
lie schools In one Of our large cities. She
was u estimable woman. who ha a
strong belief In moral suasion, and,
naturally. a distrust to corporal punish h.
ment One day she happened to be visiting
a school where ayonung incorrigible was
undergoing punish ment for a series of
m~isdegneanors. e ven the presence of the
school officials did not check his bad be-
havior, aud the discouraged teacher
cited him as .'tbe worst boy in the school
lone that Ican't do anything with. Pve
tried everything in the way OF punish

Have You ever tried kindness?n was
the gentle inquiry OF the other lady.

"Now, my dear little fellow" the new
supervisor. said, as she seated herself
beside him on the settee where he
awaited a well merited chastisement. Il

house on Tuesday afternoons; l like to
have little bows come and see me. Now.

The aStonished urch1n could only STAN

new duties well pleased with the success
OF her friendly subterfuge.
The Tuesday AFTERNOON, exactly at the
time appoinled. an awkward and not
0verclean boy was ushered into her
| pleasant reception room. Never was
| greater courtesy shown a guest. The
hostess displayed to his admlring gaze
her choicest engravings and brightest
books. She played for him the simple
and popular melodies which his perverted
taste demanded. aud then invited him
to tea. On her most delicate china she
sat before him viands which would have
done credit TO a new England Thanks

The boy ate with a half starved relish,
and as he showed every sign of enjoy

begin the moral teaching to which this
had been the mere preface.

The case of Ballsn against Hannah
Morris was dismissed by Judge Werts
Saturday in Chambers. Mrs. Morris Ike ut
a store at No. 108 Newark avenue. Re-
Gently she made an assignment. Senator
Hudspetn on behalf of ninety-one credi-
tors, issued a writ of attachment against
her. He claimed that the woman was in
hiding. and WAS therefore an ~absconding
debtor.
Collins & Corbin, on behalf of Mrs.
Morris, last SATURDAY asked Judge Werts
to quash the attachment. The Judge
reserved his decision until oday
when he decided that the attachment
should be quashed. During the proceed
in5s Senator HuJspeth alleged that the
woman had defrauded her creditors Of
$4,000 worth of goods, transferred her
house at No. los Mercer street to her
brother, and then made the assignment.
Judge Werts intimated that there was
strong evidencei of wrong doing, but
decided the affidavit upon which the writ
of attachment was issued was defective
and he quashed the writ.
