WAR TIMES AGAIN.

Shining Bicycles Mistaken for Bayonets
An Incident of Bicyclists' Trip.
A number of bicvclists from the Capt.
tai Club, says the Washington Star of
Nov. y, took long run yesterday MORN
ing over the Maryland roads. They dis
mounted at the top of hill in the vicinity
Of Oxen Till. and, stacking their ma
chimes, took easy positions at the side OF
the road. Soon o. ct the party noticed a
couple of objects moving mysteriously
among the trees and brushes alongside
the road some distance eff. Judging from
their movements they did not wish to be
seen, but as they drew nearer they were
recognized as Col0red men. Just before
reaching the reclining wheclmen they
emerged upon the road and were passing
with an air of confidence, when one of the
party sung out: ''What was the matter
with the road, uncle?' The man addressed
was bent with age, and his hair and beard
perfectly white, contrasting strongly with
his black skin. He stopped short and,
respectfully touching the remains of his
hat, he replied, rather hesitatingly: "Well,
fore God. boss. to tell de trute, hit looked
like old wah times was come agin', and
me and my boy des natllY sllnked off in

PHILADELPHIA'S PARADE
TWENTY THOUSAND CHEERING
DEMOCRATS IN LINE.

The City Painted Red by Sea of
Torches and Heaven of Shooting
ROckets-Republican Political Clubs
Bury Their Hatchets and illuminate
THEIR Quarters in Honor of the Joyous
Victory.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.-The Demo-
cratic parade here tonight in celebration
of the election of Cleveland was one of
the largest demonstrations ever held in
this city. The streets along the line
through which the procession passed were
densely packed, and the paraders were
continuously spplauded and cheered. The
greatest good feeling prevailed dur
ing the night. An incident which
increased the good nature of all was a
compliment paid to the Democratic clubs
by leading Republican organizations in
saluting them as they passed the club
houses by the explosion of guns and dis
charging of fireworks. Noticeable in this
was the Union Republican Club at
Eleventh and Chestnut streets, whose
building was very brilliantly Illuminated
with c0lored lights during the entire time
the procession was passing. 1t is esti-
mated that at least 10000 men were in
line, which included several clubs from
surrounding towns. The three leading or
ganiZations of the city, the Americus Club,
Young Mems Democratic Association
and the Samuel j. Randall Association,
were excellently disciplined and made
grand display, as did also many of the
ward clubs. Another feature was the
many mounted men in the line, noticea-
bic among whom were the butchers and
traders. Transnarencies bearing inscrip-
tions relating to the campaign and
the Democratic victory were nu-
marous, SAT last after p years."
''NO Danger to American Industriess,"
being among those mostly displayed.
The Democratic rooster also took promi-
nent part in the makeup of the banners
humorous devices. The procession
started from Broad street and
Gerard avenue about 8 O'Clock,
passed down Broad to Chestnut street,
thence to Fourth, and continued over a
long route to Christian street, where it

CHURCH EXTENSION.
The Methodist Loan Fund Not Proving
Profitable Investment.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.-The general
committee on church extension of the
Methodist Episcopal Church resumed its
session here to-day, Bishop Ninde presid-
ing. The Committee on Annuities re-
ported that III their judgment the board
should not receive funas on
annuties from persons less
than 60 years old, or pay more
than per cent. per annum, except in
special cases approved by the Correspond
ing Secretary of the General Conference.
This fund is composed of money loaned by
persons to the Board of Church Exten-
sion for the purpose of forwarding the
work of the board, and on which the board
is required TO pay certain annual
rate of interest so long as the donor lives.
The fund now amounts to about $500, coo.
The interest on the fund last year was
$4,000, and the incomes to the fund
amounted to about $4,000, leaving a de-
felt Of 81 ,0OO, which had to be drawn from
other incomes of the board. An extended
discussion arose on the annuity fund
itself, and Rev. VIM. Swindels said that
he believed that if the fund was left to
itself it would soon become insolvent.
Rev. MIR. Craig moved that an amendment
be added that no donation shall
be accepted until approved by
the Corresponding Secretary and
the Committee on the Loan Fund. A
member Ofthe committee thought that in
stead of any other fund being drawn on
to make up the deficit of the loan fund the
principal of the loan fund itself should be
employed. After further discussion the
report OF the committee was adopted with
the amendment offered by Rev. Alex.
