Around the World on q Bicycle

Thomas Stevens, the special cOrrespOn-
dent Of Outing, on a bicycle trip around
the globe, writes as follows to friend in
New. York City.
rlTeheran, March 81 start eastward to-
morrow morning on the continuation of
my journey around the world. General
Melnikoff, the Russian Minister at the
Shah's court promised me yesterday that
he would telegraph to General Komaroff
at Asterabad to remove all official OBJ
stacles from my route through Central
Asia and Siberia. The Russian CORES
pendent of the st. Petersburg NOUG
Vrentya who some time ago announced
his intention of accompanying me on
horseback, has either given it up Or never
seriously intended to carry out his propo-
sition. [ shall therefore again pull out
alone, trusting to get through the Central
Asian khanates without guard, as safely
as / did through Koordistan and other
places. My route then will be through
Meshed Merv, Bokhara, Samark and Tas-
kend and on into Southern Siberia. In
Siberia 1 shall probably touch at Tanks
and Irkutsk. From Irkutsk / shall, if /
find it even more remotely practicable,
strike south through Mongolia and en-
deavor TO reach Pekin; if that course is
found to be impossible, shall reach the
Pacific coast by the way of the Amoor
valley. The distance from here to the
north of the Amoor is not far from 5000
miles "a pretty long pull for bicycle
over the camel paths and desert wastes of
Asia, and by route where no extra tires or
anything can reach me. But the distance
is merely question of time, health and
perseverance, and if my tire gives out
can no doubt improvise makeshift tires
from rawhide. By the time this reaches
you I shall probably have reached Merv
or Bokhara. My bicycle is in excellent
condition; my own health is splendid,
and everything seems to augur well for a
successful termination of the journey
around the world.

The War on Mother Hubbards.

This town is all agOg on the question
of Mother Hubbard" costumes, writes a
Burlington, n. j., correspondent of The
Boston Herald. Friday evening Miss Ella
Hammel, Unknown belle, appeared on
Broad and High streets in a Mother Hub
bard dress. AS she walked down High
street she heard shot and saw dozen
men behind her. She FASTENED on, but a
mob filed High street, uttering insulting
apithets. Some missiles were thrown and
almost beside herself with terror, Miss
Hammel hurried into drug store. Capt.
Heys, the chief of police, was sent for,
and escorted Miss Hammel to her home.
The crowd yelled awhile outside the Ham
mel mansion, but was finally dispersed by
the police. 1t is understood that Col. ] ohm
Hammel will take legal proceedings
against the men who started the hue and
cry after his daughter. Yesterday morn
ing Mayor Gnpath forbade the wearing
"Mother Hubbards" on the streets of Bur-
lington except under certain restrictions.
Young ladies will be allowed to wear them
under the sanction of the law in the streets
if the dresses are belted, but not other
wise, if the girls are alone. If they have
escorts, they can wear Mother Hubbards'
as much in the flowing, boudoir fashion,
as they choose, in any part of the town,
both in the day and in the evening. These
regulations, it is explained, are simply for
the sake of protecting the girls from the
wrath of the populace, and are not in
tended especially as rejecting upon the
dress itself. Miss Hammel, who was very
much excited by her narrow escape from
the crowds wrath, is quite i'll with nerv-
Gus prostration.

The New York Mail and Express relates
| this amusing episode.
| A lady with very large hat on was en-
| loving the "Mikado" at the Fifth Avenue
Theater last Saturday afternoon. The
| hat rose calmly and ponderously into the
air, and beneath it the owner was com
| fortably watching the performance, while
those Immediately behind were compelled
| to play hide-and-seek for their entertain
ment and get it as they could At last
| the little woman directly in the rear of
the obstruction gave up the fight. Her
neck refused to be twisted and stretched
any further. And the little woman re-
! linquished her interest in the perfor-
nance and began to talk. Then the hat
| began slowly to revolve, and the face be-
meath it glared at the little woman talk
ing. ''Won't you please stop talking p
Il will when you take off your hiatt" The
hat came back into place again with g
jerk, and the talking went right on.

Doing Up a Fly Screen Han.
natrC,it Frao proSS
Mrs. PrG:Sty,

He had sample fy-screen under his
arm, and he turned aside and entered a
little shoe-shop on Lafayette street.
II vhas very busy to-day" said the
cobbler, as he looked up.
"Y-e-s, | suppose so, and so are the
flies" was the reply. "My friend have
you given any thought to the momentous
query: Shall 1 keep the flies out or in
this SUMMER"
II hat to get dis boot done in half an
hour"
Exactly, and don't propose to hinder
you. l am taking orders for fy-screens.
You can peg, peg away, while we talk fly
screens
II doan' vhant some"
''That is to say, you propose to sit in
this shop all summer and encourage the
visits of winged insects. Do you know
how much time a man loses in four months
striking at fies?"
II doom figure oop on him."
''Of course you don't, but have. You
will lose just two days every month.
That's eight days thrown away and not a
fly killed. Now, them"
II doan' vhant some fy-screens."
"That is, you think you don't. How
many cubic feet of air do you think comes
through that door in four months?"
"Maype six"
maybe millions! How much dust do
you suppose accompanies that air?"
II vhas very busy"
exactly, but more than two bushels of
dust enter this shop by way of that door,
and you inhale at least one-half it. How
many microbes accompany the dust?'
"Dis shop vhas under mortgage, you
sect"
"That's all right, but for ten hours day
you inhale one hundred cholera microbes
an hour"
"Und maybe I moot AWAY to Chicago
in June"
Suppose you do. A fy-screen door is
portable property. There are flies and
microbes in Chicago as well as Detroit.
Do you want to die of cholera?"
eff I die it vhas all right. If I live I
hat to work all der time. I vhas a great
handt to be alone in my shop"
"Certainly you are, but the question re-
mains: Shall flies light on you or not?' I
will make you a door"
II vhas very busy"
"Don't doubt it, but you owe something
to yourself. Two dollars and half will
buy the door complete, and want to tell
you that our"
'Great heafens! go AWAY! vhas busy!
I doan' vhant some doors! I doan' vhant
some fy-screens!"
''You don't! If you don't want door
why did you encourage me? Why did you
take quarter of an hour of my valuable
time? Do you suppose I can stop and
figure up cubic feet of air and bushels of
dust and numbers of microbes to crafty
idle curiosity?"
II like you to go avhayr'
swell, I'll go. Why didn't you say SO
at first? What have done to you that
you want to injure me by robbing me of
my time? Your conduct is outrageous,
sir-grossly outrageous"
The shoemaker jumped and locked the
door as soon as the man was out. For a
moment they glared at each other through
the dusty glass, and then the fly screen
man said:
cts shameful case, and I'll keep an
eye on you! 1t is just such trifiing con-
duct as yours sir which has brought this
country to where it is. Why didn't you
tell me when [ came in that you didn' t

TALK OF THE WEDDING.
All Washington GOssiping About the Coming
Nuptials-SOme Pretty Plans.

WASHINGTON, May Now that two of
Miss FOlsOm's uncles have been interview
ed and have given many of the details of
her proposed marriage to President Cleve-
land, and there has been no denial from
the White House or the Presidents friends
that there is to be marriage at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion within the next two or
three months, the gOssips of Washington
are talking of the affair in unmeasured
sentences. Mr.. Cleveland is spoken of in
all the possible phases of husband. The
ladies have for several days been discuss
ing what kind of husband he will make
and wondering what kind of wife Miss
Folsom will be after she becomes
thoroughly installed at the White House.
There is not the least doubt in the midst
of the people here that Mr.. Cleveland is
really going to be married. 1t is only a
question of time. Nobody gives him
more than three months more of bach
elorhood. More is said about the kind of
wedding there will be than any thing else
in connection with the Presidents forth
coming marriage. The ladies are won
deeing whether it will be a marriage at
which the higher public officials will at
tend or whether it will be private mar
riage and a public reception to follow,
and also whether the President will take
trip. These questions seem to have en-
tered more into the minds of the gossips
than whether the President will wait till
after Congress adjourns before he mar
ries. If the gossips would determine the
latter question they would more readily
solve the other questions. The President
does not believe that there should be any
change in state affairs or any occurrence
which will interfere with his administra-
ton meeting peremptory all demands
made by Congress for information, ETC.,
and he knows, of course, that his marriage
would in some degree interfere with ex-
ecutive business at the White House. 1t
is argued, however, that the President in
tends to give public reception after his
marriage, and that all of Congress will be
invited and that, therefore, his marriage
would probably take place before Con-
gress adjourned. There may be some
thing in this, and it may be that, as this
gentleman suggests, that the President
intends to have his marriage private and
to have public reception afterward. It
is generally believed that Mr.. Cleveland
and his bride will remain at the White
House after their marriage, and that no
wedding trip will follow. Indeed it has
been stated by two or three persons we'll
informed upon such matters that the
President does not intend to leave the
White House after his marriage, as there
will be number of public and private
receptions rendered to him and his bride.

A newspaper publisher in Illinois
recently brought suit against forty
three men who would not pay their
subscription and obtained in each
case Judgment for the full amount
OF the claim. Of these, twenty three
made affidavit that they owned no
property in excess of what the law al
lowed them, thus preventing an at
tachment. Then, under the new law
OF Congress, making the taking of
newspaper from poStoffice theft,
they were arrested for petit larceny
and bound over in the sum of $500
each. All but six gave bail and the
others went to Jail.
THIS is ABOUT THE SIzE OF IT.
The Lancaster Pa Iatelgige,scer says:
/" After you get on your ear and make
up your mind to stop your paper to
make the editor feel Inundated lust
poke your finger into water and then
pull it out and look for the hole. Then
you will know how sadly you are
missed. The man who Thinks paper
cannot survive without his support
ought to go off and stay awhile. When
he comes back he will find half of his
friends did not care a cent, and the
world at large didn't keep any account
of his movements whatever. You will
probably find something in your home
paper you cannot endorse. Even the
Bible is rather plain and hits some
hard ticks. IfyOu were to stop your
paper and call the editor all sorts of
ugly names, the paper would still be
published. And what is more, you
will sneak around and borrow copy
of it every day."
