DARING WOMEN ON WHEELS.


New YORK, January 25.-Mrs. J. P.
Morehouse, of Orange Valley, and Miss
Jennie Milford, Of Newark, two Of TIE
best feminine cyclists in Orange county,
whers there are many ladies expert IN nd
ing the wheel, started for spin last III
day afternoon. After an hours run over
the smooth macadamiZsd roads they
reached the foot of the Essex County To-
hogan Clubs chutes, and in spirit Of
banter Mrs. Morehouse challenged her
friend TO race mp the slides Miss Null
ford promptly accepted the challenge, and
the ladies started, one or each OF the slides,
yhich stretched up the hillside, free from
ice. bat as smooth as a ballroom floor.
The ladies pedalled their way up the
slides Vi EoIo1sly until they re1ched the
S eepsst part of the ascent, when Mrs.
Morehouse, the winner by few feet, pro-
pose1 10 climb the remaining distance and
then coast down, TO which Miss Milford
agreed readily. Both ladies assembled to
the starting platform. There was 10
needing the presence Of crowd that had
been collected by the novel sight, they
coollv mounted the wheels. and an instant
later were whizzing down the slides.
Toboggans have almost incredible speed,
but the cycles, uuretarted By friction, went
infinitely faster, flying dom the glistsn-
irg slopes like flashes of lightning, while
the spectators held their breath. The
slides are !, 800 feet long, ard part Of the
distarcs pitch sharply down the hill, and
at the bottom are only about three feet
vide. Toe slightest nervousness or sTeiv-
ing from the straight path would have
brought the wheels against the sides of the
chute, causing a dangerous and probably
fatal fall.
Bat the ladies did no. lose their nerve
for an instant, and 10 an almost inconceiv-
ably short time were rolling triumphantly
across the field at thu foot of the chutes,
while the spectators cheered Justify.

He went upon the stage after the play

such cOign Of vantage that unless Miss

Davenport's form. Some Of Miss Day

The reporter wiped his brow and
made note of it.
Presently Miss Davenport parted the
curtains and came out. She was dressed
for the street in long dark-colored
cloak that fell to her heels. On her head
waSa plain bonnet without any attempt
at ornamentation. Miss Davenport
stood in the doorway until she caught
the reporters eye and never Quailed.
He asked her what she knew about the

asked the reporter what he knew about
it. They found themselves on about

Walters, the Victim Of We'd

An Electro-MatPix War Is

and Musical Events.

The street railway company made the
best showing of cars yesterday of any
day since the strike began. 1t had
sixty cars running on the various lines
that have reopened for busineSs-on
University, -; Monroe street. IL; Lyn-
dale, 5; Western avenue, 4; Plymouth
and Bloomington, ID. The motor trains
are running almost as regularly as
ever between Washington avenue and
ThirtytirSt street, and Nh. Goodrich
announces that to-day the motor
branches will be brought into use again.
All but six of the eighteen motor con-
ductOrS have returned to the manipula-
ton of Lowry's bell punch, much to
the disgust of the strikers, who feel this
deSerti0n keenly, because the motor
conductors we've the first men to go
out, and the general strike was, in
large meaSu re, undertaken to back
them up against their employers. But
now the motor chaps have come in out
of the WetneSS, and have even escaped
the ''iron-clad' agreement. the balance
of the strikers feel a trifle sore. They
charge that the motor men have re-
ceived special inducements to go over
to the enemy, in order to weaken the
striking ranks, but affirm that the effect
will be exactly the reverse. The excel
tive committee in charge Gf the strike
has information that fOrty-nine men
have gone back to work, fearing that
they would be shut out or that they
would not secure employment else
where. These men are distinguished
in the cars by wearing the company'S
caps. There are twenty of them on the
University line, three ON Chicago av-
enue. one on the Fourth avenue, four
Oh the Bloomington, five on Riverside,
and sixteen on the motor. This is but
a small percentage of the number of
men who went out when the strike was
at its zenith, but it is quite significant
of decline in the enthusiasm, Mean
while the herdic scheme is panning
out very well. Stock has been SUBJ
scrbed literally since the meeting
of two nights ago, and the company
seems fairly certain of being organised.
The men who hold out on the strike are
promised employment on the herdicS, if
mittee has had good many calls for
aid, but has not entirely exhausted its
funds yet. Most of the aid given has
been local and temporary, and some of
it consisted in helping the men to go to
seek work elsewhere. This was the
case with the motor engineers, who
were nearly all given transportation to
other cities.
The Riverside line, on which the
Sunday rioters displayed their frisky
vandalism, has been repaired, and cars
will be run upon it and the Cedar av-
enue line to-day if the chief of police
advises it. He was not certain yesIer-
day that it would be good policy, but
may advise the move to-day if the strikers
keep coming over. 1t is now claimed
by the company that seventy-five of the
strikers have returned and it is denied
that any of them have escaped the
''irOnclad."
