a Mile III Thirty Seconds.

a mile in thirty seconds was the
rate at which party of newspaper
men were whirled along the Boston
bicycle railway from. Gravcsend to
Coney Island. \ single bicycle pas
scnger car was used. The car itself
was double decker, in each deck be-
iEg six doubled and one single COM
partment, each compartment being by
itself and entered from the side of the
car. Each is less in width than half
OF the standard guage track, so that
two cars can pass each other when
they run on opposite rails. The wheels
OF the car are directly under the cen
ter, double fange grasping the rail.
The car is prevented from topping
over by double wheels attached to the
top Of the car and running one on
each side OF continuous beam held
up by framework on either side of the
track. The engine is bicycle one al
so. The car is run on the principal OF
hoop in motion which the faster it
goes the less likely it is to wobble or
fall over. Some engineering papers
have already declared it is destined to
revolutionize the present system OF
passenger transportation.

The maniac then brought the ax down

Fee Z Inches In Height.
James Roberts is a half breed Cherokee,
2 feet and 4 inches high In his stocking
feet. He was seen at the Union depot,
Kansas City, on his way home to Benton
county, Arkansas, from Oklahoma Cts,
where he has been looking after real estate
that he acquired soon after the territory
was thrown open to settlement. Roberts
is as straight as IN arrow, weighs 1926
pounds. and is we'll proportional. He has
great strength Of bone and muscle, and his
power Of endurance is something phe.
nomenal. He is 81 years Of age and lives
with his parents on . large tract OF land
owned BY them in Benton councy. His
father is an American and his mother q
Cherokee. He is a great reader of history
and literature, and, withal, is . pretty we'll
educated man.
Speaking on the subject of giants Mr..
Roberts said: sThe giant as q curiosity
has been seen by most every American
boy. The stories of great giants Of the
past ages are more than interesting. Og
Ring. OF Bashen, was IL feet in height.
The great Goliah, Of the Bible, 10 reported
to have been 8 feet and 9 inches high. The
Emperor Maximinius was 8 feet in height.
while many other Romans OF equal stature
are said to have lived during the reign of
Augustus. Skeletons have been exhumed
in England, measuring 8 and 8 feet IN
length. N. Thevet, of France, in his des-
cription Of America, says he saw a skele-
ton in South America that measured IL
feet and s inches 1 n length. Walter Par
sons. who acted as porter to James I, Of
England, was z feet 6 inches in stature.
The Chinese claim to have had among
them in the last century men who meas
ared Is feet in hight, but this lie hardly
probable"

All the passengers IN tho day car were
relieved of more or less money, though as
none were %grumb!ing as to the size of the
contributions, the aggregate was probably
not great.
The robbers then entered the smoking
car, the conductor still leading and COW

passengers in the smoker were disposed to
consider the affair II joke and attempted to
play with tho robbers, who thus lost some
time.
The brakesman, who had been driven
off the car by this time, pulled the bell

the conductor to signal to stop it. When
they jumped off aud fired q shot OF tho
brakeman, who showed his head between
two of the cars and then scrambled up n
steep bank on the side Of the track. Con-
ductor Nelson in the meantime secured a
Winchester magazine shot gun and snap
ped it at them repeatedly, but the chambers
were empty.
As the robbers went up the bank in the
clear moonlight they we're plainly seen by
all on the train, and only n lack of knowl-
edge as how to load the Winchester from
the magazine allowed them to escape un.
hurt. The train was delayed but a few
moments.

JoHNsrowN FUND REPORT.

several Items Involving Thousands Of Dol
lars Charged That Look Suspicious.
An awful howl is being raised at Pitts
burg and in Johnstown over the publica.
ton of the report Of Secretary Kremer, Of
the state food commission. w. A. Cramer,
one of the leading citizens of Youngstown,
has started a movement for an investiga-
ton, and the indications now are that be-
fore the matter is finally laid to rest some
very unsavory incidents will be laid bare.
Some of the items Of the report cause great
Indignation: Sl7,176 for transporting flood
sufferers; 100000 for burials. and similar
items causing the trouble. It is known the
sufferers were nearly all carried away free
of expense, aud the same was the case with
the burials. Office expenses Of the com.
mission appear in the report az nearly
SIS, 600, and no one can understand what
they were. There are numerous items Of
this sort. The big kick comes over the
S67, 2O5.4 A still held by the commission.
Tho latter. body say this money is to be
used for building bridges and making i'm
provements about Johnstown. The people,
though, claim that this should be paid out
to sufferers, as it was given for them, and
threaten to take the matter to court il it is
not done.

Coal Near Home.

Frederick Dupree, an old French squaw
man who has lived with the Sioux on
Cheyenne river, some sixty miles from
Pierre, for about thirty years, spent II
couple Of days at Pierre recently. Tho old
man is very wealthy in cattle AMI Lands,
aud has among other stock OH his ranch n
herd of about twenty butfaloes, caught
wild some years ago, but which now roam
at large on the ranch with the cattle. OH
Man Duplee claims that large quantities
of coal exist near his place, just
over the line on the permanent
reservation, some veins being nine and ten
feet thick, cropping out along the bluffs.
He says: This coal is excellent fuel, and
would be used by his people there had they
not plenty of good wood" The old gentle-
man further claims that as the Cheyenne is
navigable for large sized barges eight
months of the year, it would be more prac-
teal to open up the coal lands there. not
more thnn seventy miles from Pierre, and
float it down stream to consuming points,
than to get North Dakota coal. But
whether this plan of Dupres's IL considered
or not, the pr%acticability Of mining and
barging the North Dakota coal to Pierre
and other river points has been discussed
and will be accomplished this season.
