The BICYCLE Race.

The thrce-hour six-day amateur bicycle
chase began at the Coliseum last night before
amoderate sized audience. There were ten
starters, and from the crack Of the pistol to
the close the riding was brisk and exciting.
AS the score indicates the contestants are
very evenly Matched and it would be fool
though botn Eastman and Beard are looked
upon as such by their respective admirers.
Wednesday evening has been set aside as
ladies' night, and on this occasion the fair
ones will be admitted free. Following is the

ADJUSTMENTS.

Dockstader's minstrelS opened at the Boyd,
last night, to an audience of Omaha's very
best citizens that filed the house. Staid, old
bankers, solid merchants, sleek looking law
yers. plug"hatted doctors and the swell,
young club men, with their wives, daughters
and swcethearts, were there in such force
that the event reminded one strongly of a
night at the opera, rather than minstrel
show But Dockstader boasts of the refine
ment and polish of his entertainment, and
the people have come to understand that he
does n OF dsaDpoint them. Every seat was

roars of laughter and applause greeted

A curious bet was made between promi
nent member Of a fashionable club and a
friend The club man undertook to walk,
blindfolded, from the vicinity Of Grace
church to Madison Square Garden. He fol
lowed Broadway to Union square, and pass
ing beneath the trees and around the foun-
tain, reached the end Of his journey by way
of Fourth avenue, to the great Hnazement
of some of the circus men who were still at
work, Notwithstanding the lateneSs of the
hour.
A member of a turf club started from his
club house with his eyes bandaged and only a
cane in his hand, crossed Fifth avenue at
Twenty-sixth street. walked with great
GuickneSS and steadiness up Broadway &c
Thirty-fOurth street, turned into the avenue
at this point and returned to his starting
point without a mlshap. Some friends &C
comDanied this daring walker, and a few
people we're attracted to join them. Two
men went before to notify any policeman
who might be disposed to interfere with this
nocturnal journey. The eXperimenter had
of course, carefully studied the ground before
beginning his attempt, for he seemed K
count the number of his steps, to recognize
his whereabouts, and to move with military
precision past the thousand difficulties which
threatened him. This attempt only occupied
an hour and half, and before going to bee
the bettors had time to talk it over to thu
popping Of corks and to pay to the winner
very handsome collection Of bank notes.

DIR. johnson and the Hebrides.

What strikes one very forcibly in the ac-
count of DR.. johnson in the Hebrides is the
extraordinary reputation he evidently had
even in those remote parts. Or course one
must make some little allowance for the in
fatuation of Boswell, but after all Boswell,
though infatuated, is very truthful, and his
estimate is fully borne out by the letters,
given verbatim, of such men as Lord Elibank.
1t is perhaps a little too much the fashion in
the present day to run down Dr. Johnson's
own writings and to attribute his renown too
exclusively to Boswell
But it is evident from this Tour" that his
renown was at least equally high before Bos'
well wrote at all-higher than that of some
who certainly should have ranked before him
as men of letters For instance, it is in this
''Tour" that Boswell tells the story of John
son being called Doctor Major" and Gold
smith Doctor Minor" But which was real
" Major" and which Minor" so far as lit
erary work went! The comparison may
fairly be instituted because they both worked
in the same domain-producing poetry, es
says, fiction, plays. Compare them, then, on
each of these heads. Will any one for a mo
ment say that London" or THE Vanity OF
Human Wishes" is equal to The Traveller
or THE Deserted Village" Irene" to "She
Stops to Conquer, ""RaSselas" to The Vicar
of Wakefield" or even Though in this case
the idea would not be so outrageous "fhc
Rambler" to THE Citizen of the World"
All the works of johnson just mentioned
are well worth reading, and certainly do not
deserve the comparative oblivion into which
they have fallen. But he did not WELD the
magic pen of Goldsmith, and no one would
have felt this more strongly or owned it more
generously than johnson himself Indeed, II
requires all the weight of 1.-THE Dictionary
to make the balance at all equal; and ever
then, simply regarded as literary men, surely
Goldsmith was DR.. Major and johnson DR.
Minor But it was on the combination OF
moral with intellectual merits that the palm
was rightly given to johnson; at least, it i!
clear that this was the view taken by the
Highlanders in the Hebrides. One OF the doc
tors admirers in the Isle of Skye hit it ex
aetly when he said to Boswell: DIR johnson
is an honor to mankind, and, if the expires
sion may be used an honor to reliSon."-

4 Little Heroine.

Into the record of deeds Of heroism by those
older than She, deserves to he placed the story
of little Nellie Barry, Of Cambridge, Mass.
She was 10 years old, but her heart was stout,
as she was the protector of her four brothers,
all Younger StH Her mother was dead and
her father was an habitue Of the gin mills.
This dseary apology tor family lived in a
sQualid little house in an out of the way street
of Old Cambridge
Fourth of July night in 1885 will long be
remembered in Cambridge as peculiarly
noisy and nerve shocking one. There was a
particularly large amount of bang and tOOt
around the Barry house. Whether there was
any malice lurking there will perhaps never
be known At all events, little Nellie was
awakened later in the night by the ,suffocat-
ing smell of smoke. Her instincts Of protec-
ton were reused. She rushed out of the
house in her night dress, and was terrified to
small brothers were sleeping, cracking and
blazing like a huge bonfire.
1t did not take the resoFute little woman
long to decide on her plan of campaign. Her
father was away, presumably drunk there
were no neighbors at hand. Up stairs she
went, through the black smoke, and shortly
returned with a chubby boy, the youngest of
the brood. Then back for the second.
1t was getting hotter now, and the smoke
almost choked the heroic little damsel, but
her burden was safely deposited near the
other little slumberer.
Then she went after the third. The flames
sizzIed around the bedroom door The girls
| little feet began to blister from the fierce
heat of the floor Big drops of perspiration
| fell from her face Yet up through smoke
and fame she went again, for there was an
other life to save. After terrible pain and
labor, fer the last was the biggest boy of the
four, Nelly Barry saved it, and sank down
on the cool grass, faint and weary from suf
fering, but happy that she had done her duty
THIS little heroine afterward went to live
with her uncle at Springfield. While out
skating there one day she fell and broke her
ankle She was taken to the hospital, but
atterwarI was brought to CambrSlye again
and placed DID the almshous. View Nori

neiynbors an Oneida woman, whose courage
seems only equaled by her pride of race
Driving into the field one day where her
husband and others were at work, she en-.
countered log lying across the road in such
a way that she could not pass As there was
no one near to help her, and the 10y was be-
yond her strength to move, she proceeded to
cut it in two with an ak she had in the wag-
on. To her surprise, she had disturbed
mother bear and her family of cubs. The
bear, more frightened than angry took to
the woods, and the woman walked in search
of the men and their firearms. Finding
them she conducted her relleI PARTY quickly
back to the log to find that me bear had
also returned. When al "eIe stationed
ready for action, she agaI.. useu her ak on
the log, and the bear made her second ap-
pearance, this time angry and vengeful.
The man who stood ready for just this
emergency missed his aim, dropped the gun,
and with all his other masculine companions
took to his heels. Left alone with the infu-
rated beast, with only an ak for defense,
this Indian woman coolly waited until the
bear came near enough, and letting the ak
fall with all her might upon its head, killed it
with that one stroke The same weapon ap
piled to three of the little orphans effectively
prevented their ever realizing their loss, and
the other she kindly adopted and carried
home with her. Reaching her home, she
found her husband, son and Others assem-
bled there, anxiously specializing as to what
could have been the result of the encounter
they had failed to see ended. Standing be-
fore them, with the cub in her arms, she
scornfully surveyed them from head to foot
and exclaimed: "Cowards, you have no In
dian blood in your veinsr'

4 Queens Shoes.

The queen of Siam orders all her shoes
from London. a parcel sent to Bangkok is
thus described: There were eighteen pairs ID
all, and, in accordance with the queens wish,
each of them was made in plush, but no two
pairs were alike, either in color or in decora-
ton. One pair was of lovely shade of cleo
trio blue, with a bordering of small roses
worked in colored silk across the toe. A sec
ond pair, which would be well in keeping
with the splendor of an oriental court, was
in amber plush. Athird was in crimson, and
in this case the decoration was Of line beads:
in a fourth plush was only partly employed,
and the French kind, too was elaborately
beaded in red and gold They were cut in
the Oxford shape. The laces and all the
etceterus matched the shoes for which they
were intended to perfection and, as The
colurs were extremely uncommon, it was in
some cases necessary to have those small ad
iuncls dyed expressly Philadelphia Press
