but was simply on his way to his home in
North Carolina. Funds being low, he is
travelling on foot He had the razor wrap

with string, so that he did not think it

weapon.
What do you want of razor?" asked
the judge.
why, to shave myself with, of course. -
Halls story had the earmarks Of truth
about it, and the judge took his personal
bonds to leave for home within an hour.

The Trouble Over the Improvement
of M Street.

The Trouble Over the Improvement
of NJ Street.
Apropos of the projected NJ street i'm
provement, and the $4,000 asked for by
the Commissioners to complete it, the
same to come out of the Georgetown por-
ton Of the District appropris ton fund.
though it is claimed 1t is an improvement
made necessary solely through the tearing
up of the street by the Washington and
Georgetown Railroad Company, the citi-
zens here call attention to the following
provision in the permit issued by the Com
missioners for the tearing up of the street.:
of the roadway as at present laid. the
company shall repave much of the
street as the Commissioners may deem
necessary to prevent abrupt changes Of
grade" On upper NJ street particularly
the tracks rave been laid on such a level
as to make a rebuilding of the entire road
way en- absolute necessity.
That the street Is to be improved only
where the tracks have been elevated above
the roadway's grade is evidenced by the
fact that the square between 32d and 33d,
where the established grade was the one
accepted by the railroad company, is not
included in the schedule.
The square between 31st and 32d had
its grade affected by the company sew
eral years ago, and merchants on the
south side say half dozen horses slip
there daily.
His Leg AmputRted.
Little Tom Dunnigan, one of the liveliest
of the Georgetown boys and among the
leaders in athletic sports of the juveniles.
has lost one of his legs through amputa-
tion. made necessary by an injury to the
bone of the member. The leg was taken
off two days ago at Providence Hospital,
where Tom had been sent to secure the
most skilled attention. The injury was
sustained, some of his companions say,
through contact with an iron piece while
on the river front, preparing to go in SWIM
ming, while still others say he struck his
leg while running through Hunters
place" The blow received was thought to
be just q simple one at first, but it proved
to be one of such severity that it affected
the bone, causing 1t to become diseased and
making amputation necessary to the pres
ervation of nfe.' The leg came of at the
knee. Tom Dunnigan lives with his par
ents, on 33d street above o.

head was badly cut, and the shock seemed
to hurt him severely. He was picked up

a CARD TO THE PUBLIC:
Two years ago there were thirty-fve manufac-
turing butchers in this city. Now there are only
eight. The others have been forced out Of the
business and been compelled to buy their goods
from firms in Baltimore, Chicago and other places
mainly because of labor troubles. At present
there Is a fight hand and attempt is being
made tc drive Nicholas Auth out Of business
simply because he discharged two union EN-
ployes fos neglect of duty ard incompeter:y. No
employe Of his has been discharged for being u
union man, but the union he's singled him out
made unfair and unjust demands upon him to
comply with which his business will not justify,
and put him the unfair list.
We, the undersigned manufacturing butchers,
doing business the as Nicholas Auth
and consider 1t wrong and cowardly to single him
out and put him on the unfair list and not do the
same with us. We sympathze with him and are
willing to stand by him. II i, Is right to put
him on the unfair list think we should also be
classified.

DUTCH SKATERS.
A Country Where Ice Sports Arc
Simply Ideal,


Simply Ideal.
Holland is the paradise of skaters
In that odd country, where up
trains run on the down line, and the
cows are tied to the ceiling by their
tails a great many things go by
contraries, and skating is one of
them. The weary waiting for a
black frost to solidify the waters of
deep lakes and treacherous ponds
which in England tantalizes the pos
SCISSOR of "Acmes," prevents his
sleepin' O nights and drives skate
makers to suicide, is to the Dutch
man an unknown modification, saws
an English writer
Skating is, indeed, almost the onIv
violent exercise for which the Dutch.
man has any liking, and in the win
ter he holds high carnival on the ice.
The number of skating clubs be-
tween Northern Brabant and Gro
nngen is Infinite, but it is in the
provinces north of the Zuyder Zee
F'riesland and Groningen-that the
best skaters are to be found. These
are the classical training grounds of
the Dutch ice artist.
When there is likelihood of a
frost, the only thing necessary to Sc
cure a good surface is to open the
sluices used for irrigation and mum.
date the great fiat meadows. The
operation is superintendent by repre-
sentatives of the skating clubs in the
nelghborhood. A place of some
5000 or 5000 feet in circumference is
staked out around given point, the
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-03-11

water is allowed to flow in until 1T is
Of convenient depth, and the slut
ces are then closed. Directly the ice
is sufficiently thick a number of
workmen are told off to keep it
clear Of snow, should any fall, and
to sweep it carefully at frequent in
tervalS.
Then begin a succession Of skat-
ing competitions. These competi-
lions are gotten up by the local skat-
ing club; sometimes they are inter-
national, but the clubs and individ-
uals are constantly competing
among themselves. The prizes Of
fered on these occasions are often
Of a considerable money value, and
the funds for providing them are
supplied by the small sum charged
and the entrance fees paid by the
contributors. All the world skates
when there is ice, for skating is a
universal accomplishment among all
classes, and the buXom-almost too
buXom-Dutch ladies glide along
with an ease and grace which come
as a surprise to the foreigner, who
has marked the awkwardness of
their carriage in the streets.
The best skaters and those who
carry off the most prizes are usually
crack members of crack clubs. AS
soon as the competitions and the
value of the prizes are announced
10 111h mi hn CT
eide what prizes their members shall
compete for. Those who are to rep
resent the clubs are, of course,
chosen for their skill. Each society
is, therefore, certain of being repre-
sented by it's best men.
AS all the expense of the repre-
sentative to, from and during COM
petition are paid by the club, the
rank and file of the members have
an inducement to excel likewise;
for it is possible in this way to OBJ
tain a good many pleasant holidays
in the course of a winter without
spending anything. The money won
becomes the property of the club,
and at the end of the season is
spent in some form of entertainment,
a small balance being carried over to
the following winter.
The competitions are usually of
three classes - swiftness, elegance
and clearing of obstacles. The lat
ter is amazingly difficult, even to ex-
perts; yet there are in Holland
large number of skaters who can
with ease and grace clear the straw
covered spaces intended to repre-
sent natural obstacles upon the ice.
