We probably offer now the most elegant line of Spring 0vercoats, that we have ever shown. The lots herein advrtised, together with many others just placed In our New Hav- en Store, were made last season; but coming in late, we were obliged to carry them For the most part they have never been offered for sale, either wholesale or retail. We see no reason why they are not desirable as lots made this Spring. The prices, as you have observed. have been reduced about one-haIf md we pre- edict a quick sale for them.

A Pneumatic Bieyoie Tire.

A pneumatic tire for bicycles has been
invented In Belfast, Ireland, which, *
all that Is claimed for 1t DO trne, must
make a new era in this method Of recre-
alton. The tire for a full roadster 10
about two and q half inches In diameteS
and Is composed Of an outer covering OF
rubber, graduated in thickness from
about o~ne-quarter Of an inch, where IL
touches the ground, and protected by
canvas where 1t is attached 10 the rim,
which is very broad and nearly fat In
side this outer covering is an inner tube,
which contains the air. The air Is
pumped in with a football blower and a
patent air valve prevents its return.
Vibration is practically annihilated.
1t is intercepted between the rim and
the ground, and consequently the frame
receives no jar except hen an unus-
ually large hole IL encountered. A
frame 80 protected should wear out W
frames with solid tired wheels; and not
only so, but riders will be able to use
very much lighter frames without any
danger Of their ~collapsing. In q Gftya
mile road championship. in the Phoenix
park, Dublin, one Of the competitors
rode a racing safety, fitted with ''pneu-
matte" tires and scaling only twenty

damage.-New York Telegram.

AN INTOXICATING WALTZ.
Origin and History of the Favorite Dance
Of Civilized World.

Origin and History of the Favoritc Dance.
of the Civilized World
San Francisco Chronicle.
The generally accepted story is that
the waltz from Germany. but a
little Investigation will show hat this
statement is open to discussion. As far
back rs the twelfth century the waltz
was known In Provence, but under tho
name of the volta. The song which
accompanied 1t was called q ballada.t
Under Lewis VII ii was brought from
Provence TO Paris, and was the fashion
during tho whole of tho sixteenth cen
fury, especially in the luxurious cours
OF the Valois.
Then tho Germans adopted 1t, and
the Provincial volta became the Ger
man waltz. Tho years passed, and then
in or about 1900 the waltz once more
crossed tho Rhine and was introduced
into France. From France IL was taken
to England; thence IL spread to this
country and soon became tho favorite
dance OF the civilized world. +.
Taking all the various accounts into
consideration, IL Is very evident that
there is q decided break in the imagin-
airy genealogy OF the waltz, the balance
OF evidence being In favor Of the con-
clusion that the waltz which first made
its public appearance in Vienna in 1870
is the truest parent Of the present
dance, and that 1t was then q modifica-
ton OF bohemian country dance, which,
in its original form, Is still TO be found
as o part OF the exercises OF that n

Caused by an Abortion.

DAVENPORT. Ia, March 29.-The cor
oner's jury completed its labors in the
case of Clara Matthews, the young wo-
man who died near here last Sunday on
account of a criminal operation, which
she alleged was performed upon her by
DR.. James A. Reed, Of this city. The
five physicians who attended her were
examined and they concurred in testi-
flying that she died Of blood poisoning,
and that it was caused by an abortion.
The verdict was soon rendered after the
evidence was in. 1t charged the death
of the girl upon DIR. Reed as the direct
result Of the operation he performed
upon the woman. 1t is understood here
