Buggy-Riding Made Easy.

A Williamsport 9; MUS claims to
have invented buggy that. like the
boys whistle. goes itself-that is, it
doesn't require horse to make it 60.
1t is furnished with two upright levers
in front of the seat, by means of which
the rider can propel it with great ease
six or seven miles an hour. If he has a
feminine partner, he can use one lever
and she the other. If the weather and
scenery are delightful, the riders can
be as deliberate as they please. They
can stop to rest, if they want to, under
a big shade tree without being COM
PEELED to pull at the bit of an
impatient horse, or make them
selves hoarse shouting whoa" to
him. The new buggy won't scare
or run away, wrecking itself and
running the feathers and tinery of its
fair occupant. And there is no horse
with eyes to see and give away any
trifiing improprieties that may be in
dulged in. As to cheapness, the new
buggy doesn't eat, doesn't have to
be rubbed down four times a day,
doesn't want new set of blankets
every fall, and new harness and whip
once year. In short, the cost of the
buggy, which is about that of a modern
bicycle, is all the outlay required.
1t is evident from this description
that the Williamsport invention fills a
long-felt want. When the new buggy
has become popularized everybody
will ride, of course, and livery-stable-
keepers with their vexatious bills will
go out of fashion. Romeo and Juliet,
as they take their daily drive in the
park, each working a lever of the new
vehicle, will be taking practical les
sons in the art of working in matrimo-
nial harness. If any would-be Juliet
should prove too lazy to work her
lever, Romeo would understand at
once that he had better be looking for
a new Julie: with a more industrious
turn of mind. The ordinary riders will
ride for pleasure and 90 as slow or as
fast as their muscles and surplus ener-
gy dictate, instead of feeling compelled,
as now, to drive like Jehu in order to
get their moneys worth out of a hired
horse or team.
The only drawback to this delightful
picture of possible era in which
everybody can take buggy-rides to his
hearts content, is the fact that the in
ventor has only perfected one of these
self-acting buggies and charges an ad-
mission of % cents to all who want to
see it.-PhiLddeiphia Times.

LET THE MUSIC BEGIN .

1t is the desire of the masses of the Re.
publican party that vigorous local cam
paign shall be prosecuted and that work
shall begin at once A ticket has been
nominated that commends itself to the
conscience and judgment of the people
and arrangements should be made at al
early day for grand, rousing ratification
meeting at one of the opera houses, or al
the wigwam. The bands should be goi
out and the tramping of the marching col
umns of the Republicans once more heard
We have an unexceptionable set OF eandi
dates-in all respects worthy OF the sup
port of all good citizens. Now let us elect
them by l,2O0 to 1900 majority. The
enemy is at work and devising all sorts OF
schemes to thwart the attempt to secure al
honest, wholesome, effective city govern
ment and the Republicans should at once
open up the campaign in good earnest!

Like my desolate heart, of their freshness de-

How my heart beat with hope as 1 proudly
donned You.
How two lovely eyes on your bright wings
Twas a glance of delight, but It's over and
past.
And, royal tie of purple and snowy tie Of red,
Beneath YOU has nestled a fair, sunny head,
Whose tresses of gold once the charm OF my
life,
Now shine on the head of another mans wife.
And your folds of satin. oh, dainty tie white.
Were woven expressly for my wedding night.
And you like the others, have been laid aside,
And still am waiting-but where is my brides
I'll gather you all in gay. colored heap,
And into the firc you shall go with sweep!
Like my dreams, am sure you Will never
come back,
And henceforth my neckties shall only be

POLYGAMY.

The great, vital problem involved in the
question how to get rid of polygamy is
one of the unpleasant legacies which Mr..
Arthur has left to the disposal of Mr..
Cleveland; and all must admit that Mr.
Arthur has not only acted efficiently and
vigorously in his efforts to solve the prob
lem bat that he has met with a good de-
gree of success, inaugurating, substantial
ly, system of operations which, if con-
tinued in the same spirit and with the
same vigor, will ultimately root out one OF
the most dangerous and damnable social
and political evils that ever existed in the
country. 1t has not only been deadly, in
moral sense, but it has been shameless,
defiant and persistent. Slowly, but sure
ly, however, the government has been pur-
suing polygamists, and prosecuting and
furnishing them, until the corrupt and
rotten rascals have begun to tremble and
the system itself has begun to totter to its
fall. President Cleveland has now only
to continue and complete what Mr. Arthur
has so well begun to cut out, and remove,
at no distant day, this infamous ulcer on
the body politics, and earn the thanks and
gratitude of the civilized world.

Rich Mems wist q,

The big society people are not all
the big millionaires. In fact, the
princes of finance do not enter society
at all. and their representation in the
social circle is feeble at best. The very
rich families keep in the background
in fact, if indeed they do not gradually
gravitate into retirement
The only one of the Vanderbilts who
cuts any brilliant social figure is Mrs.
Frederick Vanderbilt. She is gay and
enjoys the world.
'.She incurred the displcasure of old
man Billy" said prominent New
York society man to reporter, 'tor
being much older than Fred when she
married him. But she controls and
guides her young husband and keeps
him out of the scrapes the other boys
have got into"
Then there is a division in the fam
ily?"
$50 far as Mrs Fred is concerned.
The old man doesn't like her and she
doesn't like the old man. and neither is
backward in showing it. "
"She takes charge OF her husband,
! you say?n
Yes, and manages all his money
| for him. The result is, he is the only
one of the Vanderbilts who hasn't
been played for a sucker in Wall
street"
| .'She must be smart woman?"
.'She is-you bet on it"
Then why does the old man dislike
herP"
because she's smarter than he Is
himself. He remembers that the Com
modore's wife was much older than
he, and that she led him to fortune.
Billy objects to the fate that keeps the
Vanderbilts in leading-strings and led
around by the nose by women, how
ever handsome or accomplished, or
smart"
but most of. the millionaires trace
their success back to the wives of the
founders of their houses, don't they?'
No. they don't if they can help it,
but it's true all the same. The Com
modore's wife showed him how to make
money and save it, siXpence at a
time. before he had bank account;
old John Jacob Astor was simply the
| agent of his wife. who had the business
tact of the firm. The millionaires
were made rich by their wives, and in
every instance they were older than
their husbands.
Then what is the matter with King
William?'
He is sore because Fred has struck
the family tradition, and according to
the rules, is going to build up for
tune as big as the original without hi:
aid"
"He regards Mrs. Fred, then, as {
sort of rival?"
you've grasped the subject. The
old man is jealous -"-Nct0 York Let
