We presume that God has given us tie ca
siest means of lOcomotion in our natural
limbs, and that there can be no saving in any
port ourselves from one place to
another great deal easier than by
using our own strength, therefore the veloc-
ipede was a failure and has had it's day. Now
comes the Pedespeed, which is averred to be
of great assistance in the matter of walking
and running. 1t will have It's day also; and
our own feet and legs will be found to be the
only means of perambuating that wear well.
Gods handiwork can hardly be improved on.

Nigh the Gates.
by GEO. z. SENS ENR.

Since | know that / must die;
Since | know that life is waning,
Let no tear afflict my eye,
Nor saddened thought be staining
Sweet expectancies of home
In the happy land to come
Dust of earth no more OBTAINING.
Yes, my feet are tending there,
Where the loved and long departed
Will renew their gentle care,
When they left mo heavy hearted;
And the circle will be found
In the never ending round,
Full as on the earth we started
Will ye think of me when dead,
Asye thought of me when living?
Pnt nc marble at my head,
But simple stone, receiving
DAILY what stood contest
In my nature at its best
All my meaner life forgiving.
Oh, might have done SO much
That Is now without q token;
Oh, / might have learned to touch
Tender chords that now are broken;
And a winsOme smile or word
In it's fitness might have stirred
Hopes that now cannnct be spoken.
Do not blame me that my life
In It's passage grew SO dreary;
Days there were, above the strife,
When the springtide made it CHEEKY
And my weakness, not my sin,
Made it seem so dark within
Let me rest, toT | am weary.
Hardly two brief score Of years
Have been given to my story;
But they have been wrought with tears
Like ruin dark and hoary;
Only now remains the faith
And the triumph over death,
OF the Saviour's love and glory.
When my sight is growing dim,
And the mortal bond repining,
Softly sing an olden hymn
For the life that Is declining.
And my spirit will respond
To the echoes from beyond,
Where the gates of dawn are shining.

TUE COLLEGIATE svKOoL.

Annual Exhibition at De Garmo's Rooms.
Tie annual exhibition Of the Collegiate School
took place yesterday afternoon at De GarmO's
Rooms, corner Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street.
The affair derived considerable additional interest
from the fact that 1t celebrated the iftleth ami

with elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen, who
seemed highly pleased with the exercises, and were
by means chary of their applause The exhibition

Of el0cutiOn, Mr.. Henry McCutcheOn. noticeable
feature was the absence OF prOmpter and the entire
freedom from any hesitation or embarrassment On
up OF declamati0ns and recitatl0ns, and included
tive dia ogues. The decamatiOns were In great
variety, allowing the efforts Of the most humble to
enier in competition with the finely wrought and
polished essays Of the gifted ones, and including
themes OF every description, from ''The Lady and
the Tgeru by little boy Of seyen to the "Bridge OF

larger lads. AS usual, the Oratorical display was
largely made up OF the heroic" and humorous,

The Great Beethoven Festival.

The grand Beethoven Musical Festival will
come to conclusion to-day by an afternoon
and an evening performance The original de-
sign of the jubilee did not extend beyond last
night, but it appears that the managers have
been so far encouraged by the extraordinary
success attending the enterprise that they have
prolonged it for another day. In many re-
spects it has indeed been a great success.
The whole prominent artistic talent in the
country, whether native or foreign, has had
an opportunity, in the brief space of a few
days, to invite the criticism of the public under
every phase of musical display. In oratorio,
in opera, in the strength and unity Of the
grandest choral effects ever conceived by the
mightiest minds; in the richness and grandeur
and delicacy of Instrumentation, as we'll as
in the mastery skill which guides the
baton of the conductors and minis
trates to make harmonious whole
of this vast mass of atoms of sound,
the thousands who visited the Coliseum dur
ing the past week found something not only to
enjoy, but to study and think about The
strains of the music will pass away, but the
experience of what art can be made to accom-
plish will remain with the people after this
grand effort has been completed.
The Festival has brought out all our best
artists, and in a variety most charming. We
had Parepa-Rosa delivering the solemn pas
sages Of Haydn's ''Creation" magnifcently, and
in the lighter bits Of opera as brilliantly as on
the lyric stage. Kellogg, too, renewed in her
audience the fervor of admiration which she
always awakens. Madame Anna Bishop
| brought back some Of the pleasantest memories
Of her familiar triumphs. Brgnoli, of course,
! as delicious as ever in IL Lombardi," and
''T'rovatore" and "Don Giovanni" and host
of others, from the German and English
troupes, made novel ensemble. We never
had before, and may never see again. the same
combination of foreign and native talent of the
| first order in the country upon the same
! stage. In this sense at least the great Beet
hoven Festival is curiosity as well as a
| success.

A WOLFF IN A TRAp.-In every recent case
of death by malpractice that has come before
the public we have always looked for the name
of DR.. Wolf, and we have found it in great
many. Now, every doctor who engages in
this sort Of professional enterprise commits
a crime. Skill carries many doctors through,
because as they do not cause death the case
never comes before the public but when death
is caused society has fair ground for claiming
that exemplary punishment shall be meted to
the offender. The testimony in the case Of
Henrietta Uhlmann is sufficient to convict DR..
Wolff, and if he goes free we assist in the
growth of crime. One criminal has just been
sent to State Prison for ten years for attempt
ing to kill man. Shall this one, who has
actually killed more than one woman, escape
with lighter punishment?

Jerome Napoleon BOnapnrte.
Jerome Napoleon Benaparte. the son Of Jerome
n5faharte and Miss Elizabeth Patterson, died IN
baltimore yesterday, aged siXty-fve years. Wltn
the romantic story Of the marriage ol his parents,
the refusal OF the Emperor to recognize the alliance
and the refusal OF the Pope to grant divorce, our
readers are familiar. 1t is also well known that
Jerome subsequently became King OF Westphalia
and In 1907 married Frederick Catharine. daughter
OF the King Of Wirtemnerg, by whom he had the
present Prince Napoleon. The subject OF this
sketch was born In England. In 1906 while his
mother was there awaiting the result OF the En-
perOrs decision reyaiding her marriage. In 1911
She returned to her father's home in Baltimore,
bringing the boy with her. He was educated at

C0ngress-Sfrs. Lincoin's Pension--rns Franks
ina Privilege Bill.

ing Privilege Bill.
Perhaps the most remarkable instance OF
petty malice ever evinced in any national legis-
lature is that shown by the Senate in regard to
pensioning Mrs. Lincoln. The bill for this
purpose was taken up in the Senate yesterday
with fair prospect of its passage, when Mr..
Edmunds Of Vermont made rabid Puritanicai
harangue in opposition to the measure, and
succeeded in staving off the vote for the present.
The Post Office Appropriation bill was taken
up, and Mr.. Ramsey moved as an Amendments
the House bill abolishing the franking privi-
lege. The Senate, however, appeared little
inclined to deprive themselves of this privi-
lege, and accordingly rejected Mr.. Ramsey's
amendment by vote of l6 to 81. Mr.. Sum-
ner then moved his amendment providing for
penny postage system for half ounce letters
authorizing stamped envelopes for the depart
ments and Congress and reducing the cost OF
mail service on railroads. The amendment
was discussed at length and finally rejected,
when another amendment was offered and
adopted providing for the reduction Of letter
postage TO two cents. Without disposing of
the bill the Senate adjourned.
The first business before the House yester-
day was the Virginia contested election case
Of Whittlesey against Mr. Kenzie, which was
quietly disposed of by confirming the right Of
the sitting member, Mr.. Kenzie, to his seat. A
resolution was introduced to pay Whittlesey,
the contestant, fifteen hundred dollars for ex
penses, but this was little too barefaced for
even the Forty-frst Congress to swallow with
out making slight show of resistance, and
accordingly the matter was laid over. The
Committee on Military Affairs reported bill
equalizing bounties, allowing oil soldiers eight
and one-third dollars per month for each
month served during the late war. The bill
is the, same bill which the Hogae had
passed twice before, and no objection
being made it was the third time passed.
The bill granting the island of Yerba Buena,
in San Francisco harbor, to the Western
PACIFIC RAILROAD Company was taken up and
its iniquity exposed By MT. ""'.shburn of Wis
consin so cleverly that the House rejected
the bill by a vote of 80 yeas to 82 nays.
This is the severest rebuke the House has yet
administered to the land grabbers. There are
a number of like swindles before the House,
and that body can do no moro effective service
than take similar action upon them all.
