THEY STOLE THE BICYCLES.
Two Young Men Arrested In Richmond
and Brought Back.

Two Young Men Arrested In Richmond
and Brought Back.
Detective Raft returned from Richmond yes
terday afternoon with Philip, alias Peter Ferris,
and John Harcourt, the young men who hired
bicycles from Atwater and offered them for
sale in Richmond The prisoners are nice
looking young men and this is probably their
first offense. They were attired in flannel
shirts and suits of clothes that showed that
they had been travelling about the coun-
try. Ferris is from New York and Harcourt
came from Boston. They hired the bicycles
a week ago and were three days on the road
between here and Richmond. 1t was through
the efforts OF q colored porter in bicycle store
In Richmond that they were arrested. When
they reached that city they were short of funds
and had become tired of roaming about the
country, and they thought they would raise q
stake on the bicycles and turn back toward the
homes that they had left.
The man in the bicycle store did not want to
purchase the wheels, but the colored porter
followed them outside and told them to meet
him later in the day, when he would have them
purchasers. The purchasers were two police
men In citizens clothes, and when they placed
the young men under arrest one drew razor
and the other q pistol, but the officers quickly
disarmed them and locked them up.
They came back without the Formally Of q
requisition, and this morning in the Police
Court they plead guilty to charges of grand
larceny. Judge Miller committed them to jail
to await the action OF the grand jury. -

Various Terms OF Punishsment Pro-
nounced In the Criminal Court.
In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice ,Bing-
ham. . number Of sentences we're psonounced
today.
Asa Banks, colored. convicted Of the larceny
OF sA2o worth of copper from the United
States, was sentenced to pay fine OF S25
Arthur Dyson. colored, convicted on the 7th
instant OF an assault with intent to kill Charles
Holmes, was sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary at Albany. Dyson stated that he
was under sixteen years old, but his looks be-
lied his statement, and in consideration Of his
youth the court imposed the minimum pun
ishment.
Howard Boyd colored, convicted on the 10th
instant of horsestealing from John Dugan, was
sentenced to the Reform School during his
minority. Ihere was some question as to the
DEFENDANTS age, his mother and others stating
he was now in his sixteenth year, but the date
given would make him but fourteen years old.
An ugly scar on the nose gave him somewhat
older look. The court gave the prisoner the
benefit OF the doubt.
In the case of Leno b Curtis, alias Nathaniel
sykes, convicted on the 18th instant of the lar
ceny OF a bicycle from John T. Parsons, Gen.
harrington filed motion for a new trial. lie
Claimed that the evidence did not support the
verdict and that there was evidence suficie mt
AT least TO raise O reasonable doubt as to his
sanity. He remarked that 10 was peculiarly
sad case, in which two parties had become i'm
paired in mind because Of their lovo affairs.
The court said that there was no testimony
to support the theory of insanity and noted the
fact that one Of the afhaneed's letters requested
money to buy dress for the wedding, the
time having been fixed, and il was probably
this that led to the commission of the crime.
1t was an act OF weakness, but did not show in
sanity. The motion was overruled
Gen. Darlington noted an exception stating
that he would take the case to the General
Term. He then moved that the defendant be
admitted to bail pending action. The court
took this motion under Amusement

A Word for tho Dude.

I am moved to say word in defense
of the dude. The primal meaning of the
word was intended to convey the idea OF
Q forceless, vapid, useless nonentity, of
less account in the world than foam, and
IS superfuous as a second handle to a
teacup. But more and more the word is
becoming estranged from its original
import. 1t is getting to be quite the
thing to revile young man for wearing
clean linen and maintaining courteous
demeanor. The very fact that he is a
gentleman both in apparel and conduct
is enough to let loose all the dogs of ridi-
Guile upon him..
Ride in any street car, full of tobacco
splitting, mannerless Doors, and see how
the sneer goes round If there appears in
their midst a gentleman who wears
gloves, is exceedingly polite and refrains
from the everlasting expectorationl II
he is faultlessly attired the last straw is
added to forbearance, and he is stigma
tized as "dude." A pretty pass we
have come to when all the pleasant at
tributes of courtesy, consideration,
cleanliness and civility are at discount
In public places, and only the riotous,
rough and elbowing, pushing, inconsid-
crate Doors are held high in popular esti-
nation.
Cleanliness is not incompatible with
mankind, neither is it necessary to chew
tobacco, go unshaven and unkempt tc
prove yourself a;son of Mars or descend
ant of Thor. Drawn Of muscle and
Drawn of brain are enviable possessions
but they need the setting Of innate good
breeding and wholesome personal ap
pearance to make them effective, just AZ
the finest picture that ever was painted
is greatly enhanced in value by setting
and frame.-Chicago Herald

s'The road has been used as a political

The result of the election throughout
the country, is not at all surprising to
those who have watched the vagaries of
the average voter. The elections half
way between the presidential campaigns
have almost invariably resulted 10 gains
to the party out of power in the nation.
This is partly due to self-satisfied apathy,
partly to the animosities engendered by
the failure of congressman to obtain Off
ces for all who apply, and partly to the
mental reaction which comes after a
strong food-tide.
In this falls election the misrepresenta-
lions of free trade papers as to the effect
of the Mckinley bill on the cost of goods
and its injury to farming interests also
played part. But before another yeal
the benefits of that measure will be so ap
parent as to disprove these falsehoods.
