Bicyclist's Privileges.

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT FOLLOWS JUDICIAL DE-
CIsIoN.
Indianapolis Special tohe Philadelphia Press Feb 90
Just before the judges of the Indiana su-
preme court separated ON last Thursday to 60
to dinner they agreed on decision affecting
the rights of bicycle riders to the use of side
walks. Three minutes later reckless bicycle
rider ran into Judges Coffey and Berkshire and
knocked them flat upon the stone sidewalk in
front of the state house, injuring Judge Berk-
shire SO seriously that he has not been able
since to give attention to his judicial duties.
The decision that had been agreed upon lust
before the accident was made public to-day.
and it is of an extraordinary nature. In it the
court holds that person who '.rudeiy and
recklessly" rides bicycle against man stand
ing on sidewalk is responsible for damages
for assault and battery. After quoting an In
diana law forbidding persons from riding or
driving on the sidewalks the court SAYS: IF
sidewalks are exclusively for the use of foot
men, then Bicycles, if they are vehicles. must
not be ridden along there, since to affirm that
sidewalks are exclusively for the use of foot
men necessarily implies that they cannot be
travelled by bicycles. 1t would be q palpable
contradiction to affirm that foot-men have the
exclusive right to Use the sidewalks and vet
concede that persons not travelling as pedes-
trians may also rightfully use them. We think.
however that bicycle must be regarded as a
vehicle within the meaning of the law

Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAB
ROCKVILLE, Feb. 25, 1889.
To-day Judges Lynch and vinson. of the cir
cult court. filed lengthy opinion in the case
of Fawcett and Clark against Stearn and wife,
being demurrer to bill filed to compel Stearn
and wife to convey tract of land in Potomac
district, upon which rich gold quartz has been
found, to Fawcett and Clark, they having an op-
ton on the premises at $4,000. The question
at issue on the demurrer was whether a married
woman could execute binding contract to con-
vey her separate estate. The court decided
that married womans statutory power to con-
vey her separate estate Oointly with her hus-
band), carries with it as necessary incidental
the power TO contract to convey. The question
is novel one in this state, the court of appeals
never having passed upon it.

Arthur Williams at $50 per acre. This estate

county, and the price obtained for the land is

ted to that institution few days before the
escape. After the escape Kline went to the
cell from which they escaped and secured the

and Philip ID. Laird. and for sheriff of the
county, Messrs. W. b. Miller. s. T.. Mullican,
j. W. Collier, III. c. Townsend, and VIM. H.
Carr. There is also some speculation in re-
gard to independent candidates for various
offices, but as it is generally conceded that
both the republican and democratic parties
will present full tickets. and hot fight be
made, 1t is not thought that independent can
didates will stand much of show for success.

multiplication of Drugs.

FROM the Analyst.
Baltimore physician. in a paper published
recently in a local medical journal, denounces
with lively earnestness the tendency to the null
tiplication of useless drugs The writer asserts
that in the index to the fifteenth edition of the
United States Dispensatory" is list of about
1900 names of medicinal substances. which,
allowing for duplication and repetition. he es.
Inmates represents about 1900 remedies.
Those Of acknowledged merit in this enormous
bulk are aptly compared to Gratiano's reasons,
two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of
chaf." The very existence of this vast armory
OF therapeutic weapons demonstrates the doc
tors weakness in his struggle with disease. The
conquerors of this world are the men of few
weapons; the needless elaboration of arms is
the vain resort of the feeble.

Change of Inauguration Day.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Every year, think, since this subject was
first brought to the attention of Congress, you
have taken occasion to speak Of the fine weather
which we have had on each successive 30th of
April, and it seems equally appropriate now
to point to another kind of pleasant weather
(for ice raising), and the Inauguration of a
President, in accordance, we have a right to
presume, with the wishes of the gentlemen of
the House of Representatives, led by our jovial
and highly esteemed friend Hon. Thomas b.
Reed, of Maine-jOy 60 with them with the
thermometer 80 degrees below zero Gas they
have just had it down east on the 4th of March.
In the last volume of Appleton's cyclopedia
there is most interesting and admirably
written biography of George Washington, by
Hon. Robert c. Winthrop, from which copied
the following extract now in order for con-
sideration, viz:
THUS began the administration Of Wash
ington, our first President of the United States.
on the 30th of April, 1889. This is a date never
to be forgotten in American history, and it
would be most happy if the 30th of April
could be substituted for the 4th of March as
the Inauguration day of the second century of
our constitutional existence. It would add
two months to the too short session of Con-
gress, give probability of propitious weather
for the ceremony, and be perpetual COM
memoration Of the day on which Washington
entered upon his great Office, and our national
government was practically organized. An
amendment to the Constitution making this
change has twice been formally proposed and
has passed the U. s. Senate, but has failed of
adoption in the House of Representatives"

The Verdict of the World.

From the Burlington Republican.
The man who conducts his business on the
theory that it doesn't pay, and he can't afford
to advertise, sets up his judgment in opposi-
ton to that of all the best business men in the
world. With few years experience in con-
Quoting small business on a few thousand
dollars Of capital, he assumes to know more
than thousands of men whose hourly transac-
tons aggregate more than his do in year, and
who have made their millions. by pursuing
course that he says doesn't pay Ifadvertising
doesn't pay, why is it that the most successful
merchants in every town. large and small. are
the heaviest advertisers? If advertising doesn't
pay, who does the most business? If it doesn't
pay to advertise, why do the heaviest business
firms in the world spend millions of dollars in
that way? 1t because they want to donate those
millions of dollars to the newspaper and mag
aZine publishers, or because they don't know
as much about business as the six-for-a-dollar
g storekeeper" in a country town. who SAYS
money spent in advertising is thrown away. or
donated to the man to whom it is paid? Such
talk is simply ridiculous, and it requires more
than the average patience to discuss the pro-
position Of whether advertising pays or not
with that kind of man. His complacent self
conceit in assuming that he knows more than
the entire business world is laughable, and re-
minds US of the man who proved that the
world doesn't revolve by placing pumpkin on
a stump and watching it all night
