SWIFTLY FLYING WHEELS.
A "WOrld" Reporter Breaks the
Bicycle Record to
Albany.

Apropos of the Wheelmen's meet here
the following from Sundays New York
World will be of interest
"The dim, muddy darkness of night was
being rapidly driven towards the west. Ii
was o'clock and no time was to be lost
The wind was blowing fresh and the light
In the east was becoming brighter and
brighter every moment. The little jet of
light that had been burning in the base
ment of the Manhattan Bicycle Club
house, at Seventy-second street and Tenth
avenue, was suddenly extinguished and
two bicyclists emerged, each bearing a
brightly shining and well-oiled wheel.
One was World reporter. They mounted
without moments delay, and with only
a word for the weather they rumbled over
the rough paving stone to the Seventy
second street entrance of Central Park
With their front wheels turned towards
Harlem, they bent far over their handles
and skinned along the drive like race
horses.
They turned out Of the Park into St.
Nicholas avenue. The Boulevard was
soon reached and the wheelmen were going
at their best. They reached Mount ST.
Vincent at 4:45 8. m, having only been
out one hour and fifteen minutes. At
Yonkers they caught the fist sight of the
Hudson. After Yonkers had been passed
the hills began. When the SUBMITS were
reached the riders threw their legs over
the handles and coasted down the other
side. At one OF these hills near Dobb's
Ferry the coast was Just mile and half,
which was made in three minutes.
AT Dobbs Ferry twenty-five miles, the |
riders stopped for breakfast. Ten minutes |
were lost thus, and when the ride was re.
sumed the rain began to fall. On to Tar

Sing Sing soon came in sight. The rain
was now coming down in torrents, but the
riders had determined to 60 through at all !
hazards. From here to Croton the roads
were rocky and hard to find. The World
reporter overlook Van Sicklen, Just be-
fore he reached Croton, on account of the
latter taking wrong turn. Just before
they started to climb the mountain be-
yond Croton they alighted at a pretty
little inn covered with honeysnckle and
glories. The riders stopped for
some "soft stuff" and were about to leave
when the proprietor of the kitchen appear.

Ezra Van Cortlandt in that year, and his

Contest for q Husband.

An edict from the empress appeared an
nouncing that Yeh-hon-na-ta, the daughter
of the Manchu brigadier general, KweiSiang
younger brother of the empress), had been
selected as the consort of the youthful en-,
peror of China, and that two girls named Ia,
ta-la, daughters of Chanshuh, a Manchu vice
president of the Pekin board, aged Is and Is
years respectively, had been chosen for the
harem. The emperor's marriage will take
place, according to present arrangements, on
the 23d Of next February, time which the
Astronomical board has ascertained, or at all
events has declared, to be propitious.
The process of selecting the emperor's con-
sort is interesting. After two inspections, at
considerable intervals, the number Of candi-
dates was reduced to thirty-one, who are
daughters of mandarins of above the fourth
rank, and, of course, Of Manchu extraction.
These thirty-one young ladies were conveyed
in carts TO the palace on the night Of the eth
ult, or rather in the early morning Of the
2Sth, at 2 o'clock. They entered by the
Gate OF the Southern Sea-" which they
crossed in six boats, and were conducted to
the palace which they reached at 3 a m. A
splendid banquet was then spread before
them, after which they were ushered into
the presence of her majesty the empress
dowager by groups of four and five. 1t may
interest the ladies to know that her majesty
wore on one occasion an apricot yellow
silk long dress with a black velvet jack
ct. Each girl carried tablet bearing her
name and age, also the name Of her father,
banner, etc, which was presented to the en-
press while the girl stood before her. After
some interrogations, and in no few cases even
monitory words for having continued to shave
the forehead, her majesty formed her opin-
ion of the candidate, which, when unfavor-
able, was signified by handing the girls
tablets to one of the eunuchs with the order
to present the rejected aspirant with roll of
silk. The girl with the silk was then taken
back to her cart, never more to participate in
the imperial matrimonial competition.
The selection of new empress inflicts a
serious burden on many poor men whose
daughters are eligible and must be presented,
but who have little means to defray the ex-
penses incidental to journeying to Pekin and
frequent visits to the palace. Most of them
pray to be put out Of their misery at the
first inspection, and those who survive to the
last and are then rejected are really to be
pitied.-North China News.

don't want them to get into the hands of peo-
pie who might by these means become danger

for each invention, and don't expect to use 1t

An Indian Legend.

The early Indian tribes who inhabited
Mount Desert believed that the Garden of
Eden was situated at that spot, and accord
ing to their legends, when the white man
gave the name of Eden to one part of the ISL
and, it was only coming to its own again
Strange as it may seem, the primeval father
Of the Maine red man was a youth with
golden hair and eyes like the blackberry, tall
and of great beauty. The Eve who came toI
him just when his loneliness was getting I'M
supportable first appeared coming through
the clouds. Her first exclamation at seeing
him was the Indian for 'Oh, dearI"
She at once cut off his golden locks and
began to weave them into a strong cord,
growing larger as she proceeded At a sug-
gestion from Monicho, the god Of evil de-
signs, the man took the cord from her and
bound her with it, when she ceased growing,
but did not stop working. The next thing
she did was to bend down a tall, green stalk
near her and gather from it its golden seeds,
which she made into bread, being thus the
discoverer Of Indian corn. The couple, after
teaching their children how to raise and usa
this grain vera translated to the constella-

BLOWN FROM A GUN.
Tho Terrible Punishment Administered to
sepoy Mutineers.

Sepoy Mutineers.
During the SepoS rebellion of 1878 many
of the mutineers were blown away from the
guns 1t was a terrible punishment, one
which had been inflicted a century before at
the first mutiny Of the Bengal army in 1894
A battalion Of Sepoys had seized and impris
oned its English officers and vowed it would
serve no more A strong hand arrested the
mutiny at its beginning. Twenty-four Sepoys
were tried by a drum head court martial,
found guilty and sentenced to be blown away
from the cannon.
On the day Of the execution the troops were
drawn up, English and Sepoys, the guns
were loaded, and the prisoners led forth to
suffer the terrible penalty
The word of command was given for the
first four criminals to be tied up to the muzr
zles of the guns As the men were being
bound four tall, stately grenadiers stepped
forward from among the condemned Sepoys,
saluted the commander, Maj Hector Munro,
chief of the Bengal army. and asked that as
they had always held the post of honor in
life they might be given the precedence in
death, as it was their due The request was
granted The grenadiers were tied to the
guns and blown to pieces.
A murmur ran through the Sepoy battal-
ions, who greatly outnumbered the English
troops, and it seemed as if they were about
to rescue their companions, the twenty con-
dc@Aned men.
The officers Of the native regiments ap-
preached Munro and told him that their men
were not to be trusted, as they had deter
mined not to permit the execution to proceed
The chief knew that on the issue of that
parade for execution depended the fate of the
Bengal army
The English troops were few and there was
scarcely man among them not moved to
tears by the fearful death of the four grena-
diers. But the commander knew they could
be trusted to defend the guns, which, turned
upon the Sepoys would defeat any attempt
to rescue their comrades.
Maj. Munro closed the English on to the
battery-the grenadiers on one side, the ma
rines on the other-and loaded the pieces with
grape. Then he sent the Sepoy officers back
to their battalion and gave the native regi-
ments the word of command, "Ground armsI"
They knew it would be madness to disobey
In presence of the loaded guns and laid down
their arms.
Right about facet Forward - march,"
