Great Things Claimed by It's Inventor
for Ono Wheel Cycle.
A one wheel cycle, eight feet high, that a
greenhorn can learn 20 ride in a minute
and then write HIS name in the dust with
1t in fifteen feet of space, not to mention a
speed capacity Of two miles in sixty sec
ords on a good track, is the astonishing In

years CT hard work.

phenomenon seventythree miles Ia ono

was at the rate OF much more than a mile

wager OF 800, will leave Worcester some
day in the presence Of q number Of wit
nesses, 80 he says, at the same time the
new Chicago flyer" leaves for Boston. and
he promises to arrive mt the Hub at least
fifteen minutes before the express train
reaches there, Notwithstanding that he
will have tn travel sixty six miles 10y high
way a. against forty-four by rail.
IL he does it. in the face of the fact that

The theory OF our general govern
nsent as LAID DOM II the so-eslled Ken
lucky and Virginia resolutions OF 1897 S
was that each state had the right OF
judgment as TO what are the powers of
the general government under the fed
erai constitution, and # that Judgment
Is not accepted, the state has rIght 10
sever its relations With the union OF
States. These resolutions were drafted
by Jefferson and Madison, and the
Democrats always look upon the form
er as the hrs. among their patron
saints. But II . well 70 consider that
the whole people of the country bad
recognition even before the adoption
of the federal constitution. The pre-
amble to that instrument. although
often read upon Fourth of July cele-
orations, is little thNugh. upon by the
people in general. II .sads as follows:
I'VE, the people of the United States,
IN order TO form q more perfect union
do ordain and establish this
constitution for the United states OF
America" Here is q distinct recogni-
ton of citizenship OF the United
States. Ii was the people of the United
States, and not OF the States, who or
dained and established the constitution
for the United States of America, ac-
cording to this premsble. The distinc-
ton between a citizen of State and of
the United States has recognition In
the law today. But it might be sur
prise TO many people to say that per-
son need not DC q citizen of State, in
order TO represent q district OF that
State in the House of Representatives
IN Congress, yet such is q
fact. if the language of the
federal constitution is TO have
literal Interpretation in the premises.
Section 2, Article l, of the Coustitu-
ton, provides: ''No person shall be a
Representative who shall not have at
tanned to the age of twenty-five years,
and has been seven years citizen of
the Unitet States, and who shall not,
when elected, be an inhabitant OF that
state in which he shall be chosen"
The requirement of seven years citi
zenship of the United States is made
before person of the requisite age can
DC Representative, and he Is only re-
quired TO be an inhabitant of the state.
There is mrked distinction between a
citizen, and an inhabltant. Webster
defines an inhabltant .as "a dweller;
one who dwells or reside permanently
in place, or who has fixed residence,
as distinguished from an occasional
lodger or visitor" And he defines
citizen in the United States as ga per-
son, native or naturalized, who has the
privilege of exercising the elective
franchise, or the qualifications to vote
for rulers. and to purchase and hold
real estate" So it would seem that a
person who is an inhabitant of the
state. but who has not acquired citizen
ship, can be Representative IN Con.
Congress.

Now that the nominations of the Re-

their platforms are put before the peo-

THE BULK-HEAD BURST.
And But for Timely Repairs the Sash
Factory Would Have been
Defunct.

Friday evening as the sash and blind fac
tory, operated and owned by Thiesen, Hid
red d Co., shut down for the day, Charley
Harrison reported to manager Hildred that
something was wrong with the mill race. An
investigation was at once made and the bulk
head was found to have bursted, and the
water was dashing against the earth beneath
the mill with force that threatened the
destruction of the factory if allowed to con-
tinue. The men FASTENED to the gates but it
was remembered that they had been in dis
use for some time, hence the only alternative
was the construction of a dam across the
mill race where the water flows into it from
the canal.
A rough dam of boards was hastily sunk
into the earth and John Thiesen, ir., dispatch
ed to Defiance for canvass dam. The boards
we're sufficient to break the force until he
arrived. which he did late in the night. The
canvas dam was stretched over the boards
and the flow of water stopped entirely.
A gang of men was Immediately set to
work and Mr.. Hildred thinks that the break
will be sufficiently repaired to permit con-
tinuance of the factory's work, as it can ill
afford to brook shut down of over a week
owing to the large number of orders waiting
to be filled.
After the busy season new mill race will
be constructed.
The race was constructed in 1877 and the
break was no surprize to the owners. Still
the vast amount of work on hand made it i'm
perative that work be continued until the
break actually did occur.
Taking everything into consideration the
damage will aggregate $500, and had not the
break been discovered before all hands left
the factory, without doubt before morning
the factory would have been irreparabiy
