About Those Records,

George Smith, the famous sprinter, of this
city indorses the opinion expressed in this
paper that other records than that of Seward
for 100 yards should be discarded MIR, Smith
claims that H. M. JohDson's alleged record Of
l21S seconds for l3O yards. claimed to have been
made at Exposition Park July Il, 1886, is not
correct. Many more people are of the same
opinion. But most certainly JOhnsons alleged
100 yard record is more faulty than any other

A Novel Carriage.

A new and novel carriage has been
invented, and will be strong candidate
for public favor, as it does away with
the use of the horse. The vehicle is
propelled by gas, which is generated
from benzine. The motor, which is not
visible from the outside, is placed in the
rear of the three-wheeled carriage over
the main axle, and the benzine used in
its propulsion is carried in closed cop
per receptacle secured under the seat,
from which it passes, drop by drop, to
the generator, and which holds enough
benzine for journey of about seventy
five miles. The gas mixture is ignited
in closed cylinder by means of an
electric spark. After regulating the
admission of the gas, the motor can be
started by simply starting hand lever.
Power is applied by the medium of a
link chain belted to toothed wheel
on the rear axle. The speed of the
motor can be increased or diminished
at will by turning the lever backward
or forward, and it can be stopped by
pulling on the lever. The vehicle is
steered in the same manner as tri-
cycle, by small front wheel. 1t can
attain a speed of about ten miles an
hour, but in crowded streets it can be
made to move as slowly as an ordinary
vehicle. A quart of benzine is suftic-
lent for an hours trip.-SSdaey Demo

PRETTY FINE WRITING.
All the Old Testament Written on a
Single Sheet.


Up in book Dealers place in Broad
way, notlfar from Eighth street, curiosi-
ty seekers and men who can afford to
indulge their love for queer manu-
scripts, can find perhaps the strangest
bit of writing known. On piece of
parchment-like paper, five feet wide
and five feet five inches high, are writ
ten all the books of the Old Testament,
forming the design of window in
King SOlomon's temple. No lines are
used. Written words form the whole
design. The writing is very minute,
but legible to the naked eye. Ink of
three colors was used, but principally
black ink. It is a very intricate piece
of work, marvellous in its way, and
must have taken considerable time and
patience.
The work was executed by one David
Davidson, apparently in a mood of re-
ligious fervor. He was blind Ofan eye,
and his manner of writing was to lie
at full length upon the floor, on his
stomach, with his eye Che was near
sighted) very close to the paper. He
died some twenty years ago. Each
chapter and verse is numbered. The
writing is not running script, but each
letter Is seperate, nor are the letters
much, ifany, larger than thirty-sec-
onti Of an inch high. The work is for
sale, but q high price is set upon it,

Rooms over Humphreys Drug Store.

Good girls who go out to do housework are
quite scarce. There are lots of girls, it is
true, but there are very few desirable ones.
The other day we heard some persons discuss
ing this matter: one said 81 think one great
reason why good girls are SO scarce, is that
many people, who employ domestics will not
permit them to sit at the table with their
employers; now i feel that any girl who is
good enough to do my cooking is good
enough to eat with me-" The other parties to
the conversation were of the same opinion,
and these ladies all seemed to feel certain
that Goldfish aristrocracy is responsible for
the scarcity of "girls." Many young ladies
entertain the notion that girls who do kitch-
en- work hold lower rank socially than do
those who clerk in stores, work in millinery
establishments or sew for tailors. This is a
very great mistake. Doing kitchen work is
just as honorable as doing any other kind of
work. Ayoung lady's social position depends
not so largely on what she does as what she
is. If young lady conducts herself proper
ly, lives pure life, there should be no trouble
about her social position, but if her life is
such as to entitle her to rank only with the
scum, she will soon find her social level.-Ec.

Harrison Scents Danger IN the Appro-
priation Bills.
D Republican ExtraVaganee
Frightens Him. tEE

WASHINGTON, May, 2. The riv-
yer and harbor bill, Representative
Stephenson says, will be brought up
Monday next. Its fate when it comes
before members for debate Is pro-
blematical. "A tip has already been
received from the White House
that a halt must be called some
where on appropriations, and il may be
that the knife will be thrust into the
bowels of the river and harbor bill,
along with the presidential endea-
vor to slit up the back some Of the re-
commentators of the committee for
extravagant appropriations for the erec-
ton Of public buildings. AS matter
Of fact Mr.. Harrison and his Cabinet
advisers are becoming frightened at the
rapid transit of bills through the House
to which are attached large and extrav-
agant appropriations. When at the
beginning of the session, and while
the House was doing business under
the old common parliamentary rules,
so called, and when later on rules for
the conduct of business were presented
for adoption, and such men as Carlisle,
Crisp, McMillin, and Bynum predicted
on the floor of the House that the bars
were purposely being let down in order
that the treasury surplus might be loot
ed, Joe Cannon, Mckinley, Boutelle
and smaller fish OH the Republican side
that swim in their wake scorned the
prediction. But the legislation of the
majority up to date justifies the alarm
then sounded and IL all bills pass and
become laws that are listed by the
Republican majority, an ordinary
American citizen will be able to carry
in his vest pocket, without serious in
convenience, all that will be left of the
boasted surplus. Even the legislative
bully who sits in the Speakers chair is
not as near as serene over the situation
as he looks to be. At the outset he an
nounced himselfas the Messiah, to save
the country from the dialatory and OBJ
structive tactics of the minority. To
use his language, new departure was
to be enacted; the majority was going
to proceed to do the business of the
country, and as the minority had no
rights that the majority were bound to
respect, it must get out of the way of
the Republican juggernaut or be crush
ed. This was the intent and meaning
of the departure, and good Republicans,
men whose fealty to party is unques-
toned, are looking on and shaking their
heads and wondering how it is all 60
ing to end.
