The One At The Ice
Rink Last Saturday
a Success.
"A Large Number Of Maskers
For the LIeeraI Prizes offered by the
Management OF the Rink
other Eyonts.

As usual thing ice rink masquerade
are not what would be called entire sue
cesses but the one given by the Lauriuu
band at the Superior ice rink last Tues
day evening was one of the events which
will long be remembered by patrons oil
the rink. In the number OF me skers and
the attendance OF spectators it was by
far the most successful ice rink event OF
the season, There we're large number
who enjoyed the mild night and the
moonlight and drove from Lake Linden
and come from the Portage Lake towns
were also present.
The maskers were also from different
towns of the county and 1t has been a
4 long time since so many fine costumes
and 30 many ludricous ones have been
seen together. It was by all odds the
Largest number OF maskers seen here for
many day. The costumes were elabo-
rate and many were OF such character
as co show the result OF good deal OF
work in the making.
Although the fancy costumes were ex-
- ceptienaly fine they did not attract half
TNthe attention the comic ones did and
the crowd was kept in constant uproar |
as one after another OF tn. funny people |
passed by on their skates. After all the |
maskers had assembled a grand march |
was formed and. headed by the Laurium
band, the procession went around the
&ka% Al Il
the entire circle OF the auditorium. In
this way all were given splendid oppor-
tunity to see the different costumes.
The judges we're in peculiarly difficult
position when it came to giving out the
prizes, as there were so many that de-
served them and so few prizes to dis
tribute, but they did the best they could
and tried to award those who most de. q
seryed prizes. The three Klondike gold r
hunters attracted not little attention q
and the Hollander kept things interest b
Ing wherever he happened to be. q
The special feature however, was the n
gang oiboys from the mine who set ND I,
lot OF timbers exactly as is done under o
ground. A'large majority OF those pres 3
emit had meyer seen anything Of the kind d
and to them it was a revelation. The v
lights were put out and the boys with q
their candles went tn work and set up n
the piece OF timberingin exceedingly short
order. The work was pronounced per.
fect by some OF the old miners.
The skating Kinks are still the popular
places OF amusement, as the attendance y
was also good at the Pavilion in Red II
Jacket and the people present had .
time as the ice was never better. The 81

LIMITATION NO BAR 40
COLLECTION OF A DEBT.
II Obligation Is an Honest One. Even
Though It Exceeds Amount Set by
Law, 1t Can Be Collected.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 1O-The United States
court of appeals has decided that the
constitutional limitation is no bar to the
legal collection of an Nonest debt. The
case was that of E. H. Rollins & Sons
against the board OF county commission
ers Of Rio Grande county, Col 4he suit
is an action to recover money on a num-
Der Of county warrants.
In the United States circuit court the
Colorado defendants admitted that the
debt was an honest one. but claimed that
the issue of warrants was in excess Of
the amount allowed by the constitution,
and consequently they asked that 1t be
declared null and void, The appellate
court reversed the decision and remanded
1t for another trial, insisting that the
lower court was in error by directing
judgment for the defendants.

RED CROSS AGENT AT
GIBARA MAKES COMPLAINT.
Supplies OF the Society Seized and no Re-
ceipt Given-Smallpox Devastating
the Town Of Holguln.

NEW YORK. Nov. lo--S. G. Conkling,
agent OF the Red Cross at Gibara, writes
to the headquarters in this city under
date OF October 2S, complaining OF the act
OF Captain w. S. Woodson. medical in
spector u. s. A.. who on October q, ap-
parently under instructions from Colonel
Hood. seized the Red Cross warehouse
at Gibara, with all Its supplies, and had
not, at the time the letter was written,
given a receipt for the goods taken.
Agent r. S. Warner writing from Hol-
gum says his arrival there with a por-
tion Of the supplies on the schooner
Morse, occasloned much surprise on the
part Of the 10000 Spanish troops still gar
rlsoned there, He made a superficial
examination of the town and found much
smallpox. He estimates the deaths at
80 a day for the army and as many in
tho poorer quarters, Every hut is in
fected and women, children and men
lie literally rotting to death without the
care of "even one doctor"
The poverty, he declares, is beyond
description, But" he adds, "the poor
devils are patient, they don't complain
used to 1t, suppose, The spaniards
have harassed them so long that nothing
troubles them any more"
He speaks hopefully however, and says
he will, upon the arrival of the vaccine
at points shipped to him, begin the work
Of vaccination.
Mr., Conkling says he had partially
filled a request from Captain woodson
for certain supplies, etc, but that the
captain made additional demands, When
Mr., Conlling told him he could not
grant them, Captain woodson returned
to Colonel Hood.
A short time later he returned and

General Miles says in his report that
in the beginning OF the war one OF the
obstacles to be avoided was putting the
army on the island OF Cuba at time
when a large number OF men must die
from the diseases that have prevailed
In that country, according to all statis-
tics. for the last 100 years. He pointed
ont In a letter TO the secretary OF war
these dangers. and urged that me Span

LONDON, Nov, 1O,-The Duke of Dew
onshire, lord president of the council of
ministers. who was the principal guest
at the mayoral banquet at East Bourne
last evening, said in the course of his
speech in reply to toast of Her Majes-
tvs ministers:
"There is no reason to desist from the
work of Strengthening our naval forces
and general defenses, since Fashoda is
only an incident in a much larger ques-
ton"
This expresses the prevalent feeling
throughout England, and there can be no
doubt that Lord salisbury's speech at the
Guild Hall banquet. pacific as it appears,
will not be received with much enthu-
slasm by the general public.
