NOVEL WEDDING TOUR,
"A Chicago Couple Journeying Through
Wisconsin on a Tricycle..

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
One OF the most novel bridal tours ever un-
dertaken by newly married couple is now
being made by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Riggs Of
Chicago. Mr.. and Mrs. Riggs before their
marriage were among tho hosts of bicycle
riders who frequent the Chicago boulevards,
and during their long rides down to Hyde
Park and through the suburbs they laid their
heads together to think up something in the
way OF a bridal tour that should BIO agreeable
and at the same time novel and unprecedented.
Trips by the trains were old and stereotvped.
voyage by boat was widowed with age and
even pedestrian excursion had not the charm
OF entire newness. SO the young people de-
cided that their wedding trip should be taken
on wheel and they mapped ont a route which
taxes them through all the principal summer
ing places of Wisconsin. Immediately after
they were mado one they mounted a tandem
tricycle.. Mrs. Riggs propelling the front wheel
and MIR. Riggs furnishing the motive power to
propel those in the rear, and started off on
their remarkable tour. They have already
mace mace Lake Side, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc,
Waukesha, Lake Geneva and several other
places, and will continue their journey for
some time.
They came into Milwaukee last Saturday for
the wheelmen's race and went out some dis
lance on the road to meet the boys as they
came IN. Mr. and Mrs. Riggs have canvas
cover, which Is hoisted over the tricycie in
case the sun is very hot, and which also serves
as partial protection from rain. They take
things lelsurely in going from place to place
and when they are fatigued drop off under the
Shade OF tree by the wayside and 60 into
camp until they are rested. They have set an
example for bridal tours. which is a rather
startling innovation upon old methods but one
tiiat ought to become popular where both par
ties are bicycle riders

vada last winter II have been riding since
June Is over the ranges, and we have lost
$4,000 head of cattle in Humboldt county In
one ravinc l saw heaps of cattle for three miles
and they were piled up as many as 800 to 400
in bunch.
"A herd which sought shelter from n storm
were covered with snow and died Another
herd went In on top of them and suffered the
same fate, piling On top OF each other, and
dyin,; as the snow sifted over them. They
must have trampled each other under foot.
Think of Il mass OF dying cattle. PROSTATE in a
ravinc, and then a drove of q hundred strong
ones stampedinS right in on top of them, the
storm burying all in a common grave. 1t must
have been a terrible struggle, for the bones of
many OF them were broken.
The sun has dried ont the top ones. but the
etiluvia from those underneath is sickening.
Everywhere you go you find the same state Of
affairs. No one escaped except those who had
stock in the western and southern parts OF the
state. have been purchasing all the cattle

The Duke of Brunswick,s Wealth.

Paris Correspondence OF the London Telegraph
Geneva became the universal leCatee of
Charles II, Duke of Brunswick, on. his death
some years ago. This arrangement is contested
by the Vicomte de Civry, and the affair has
come before the civil tribunal of the Seine.
The vicomte maintains that the German law
courts have recognized him as a grandson of
tho duke through his mother Elizabeth
Wilhelmina. Countess of Colmar and Blanken-
burg, and he accordingly claims bis share of
the heritage and asks that the will be declared
null and void on the ground that the old Duke
or brunswick was not responsible agent when
he drew 1t up. The civil tribunal of the Seine
has pronounced a first indgmentby default. II
will be opposed by the municipality of Geneva.
which contends that the French law courts
have no authority in the matter.

A riot occurred in Berlin Monday night. A
large number Of socialists held q meeting in
the Freidrichshiom brewery and the grounds
about il. A mob gathered outside the gates
and frequently interrupted the proceedings by
demanding admittance. This was refused and
the crowd grew larger until 10000 roughs
blocked the streets.
They made an attack upon the socialists,
broke down the fences and invaded the park.
They were met by the socialists and q desperate
hight followed. clubs. sticks and pistols being
freely used. Nothing but tho arrival Of a body

average was 29.75 columns, or 922s columns in

THE CHOLERA SCOURGE.
Thousands Of Pilgrims Huddled To.
gether In Filth and Without Sufficient
Food.

Adyices from Jeddah state that the cholera,
which broke out among the pilgrims returning
from Mecca, originated with the Hindoo pas
sengers and spread to the others. The pilgrims
were in n terrible condition OF filth, as they
were huddled together by thousands in the
dampness. unwashed and without sufficient
food. Hundreds died who were not reported,
and the real number of fatalities will never be
known.
The authorities in SiIesia have recognize d
cholera symptoms in the case of two patients
who have just died. The bodies were buried
at night, the clothes burned and the relatives
OF the deceased who were in contact with them
have been isolated
The Egyptian government has established a

from cholera Mt Jeddah Monday. There were

AMERICAN VESSEL CHASED.
Driven From Canadian Waters for VI
olattng the Dominion Fishery Laws.

At daylight yesterday morning an American
seine fishing vessel was noticed in St Mary's
bay, Nova Scotia, with boats out after mack
erel. The vessel was undoubtedly breaking the
Canadian fishery laws, as she was fishing within
the three-mile limit There was great indig-
nation on shore and on board the Canadian
fishermen in the bay. Soon a Canadian fishery
protection cruiser also appeared In the bay.
The crew manned a boat to board the seiner,
but the United States vessel put to sea. The
cruiser gave chase and an exciting race ensued.
The Yankee captain, by lowering sail over the
stern, hid the name of his craft and got away
Last evening the cruiser returned without her
prize.

Who Is Her Jonah?

In mentioning the accident which happened
to the Prince of Wales yacht, the AIine, during
the race for the queens cup, the papers spoke
as if it had deprived her of the victory. whereas
she was so far astern when it took place that
her chance was utterly hopeless. The Aline is
a curiously uniucky vessel, for she rarely goes
to sea without some mishap and the mast which
she lost last week was new one. The race for
the cup WAS a mere farce, as none of the speedy
yachts competed, and 1t is so often a failure
now that 1t seems clear that competition for
this trophy should no longer be restricted to
yachts belonging to members of the Royal
Yacht Squadron
