MADE A PERSONAL TOUR.
Bidddford Pastor Lectures on Rum
shops as He Found Them.

BIpDEFoRD. Me, Feb 29-Rev Will
liam Rodcr, pastor of the Second Congre-
gational church, created a sensation last
night by delivering lecture denouncing
the acknowledgements of the prohibtory
laws in Biddeford. Saturday night he
made IA tour OF the saloons and drinking
cluhrONms about town, and in his lecture
ne described some of the sights he saw.
The first place he visited was II shop run
by u constable. No drinking was done in
there in his presence, but the place had
the odOr of grou about it and all the rum
shop appurtenGnces. In another saloon
the proprietor mistook the preacher for a
revenue officer. and promptly pro duced
his United States license when Mr.. Roder
asked to see it. The license bore fcti-
tioue lame.
From chat shop the reverend gentleman
was escorted to Others and into a dive
where a company of boys were making
away with a half-bgrrel OF ale In addition
to making these barroom calls. he had
talked with officers and others concerning
the liquor traffic in Bidde!ord. Every
drugstore in the city. with one exception,
he said is daily violating the state liquor
law.
Speaking Of liquor seizures, the preacher
said there was time since he came to this
city that the officers AID shcrfis could
smell keg OF beer TWO miles away, but
they don't do it now.
He made no charges against either polit-
ical party. but he declared that the saloon
interests ami politics are too closely allied

THAT BICYCLE TEST.
TT. Scott, May %.

The accomplishment of the men in
carrying dispatches on the bicycle be-
tween Chicago and New York provokes
| admiration. 1t was great test of en-
| durance and pluck on the part of the
participants. There was mud all the
way, and rain and storms much of the
time. The dispatches were delivered
fourteen hours behind the schedule time
Of ten miles an hour, and abodt the only
point made specially conspicuous in the
operation is that the bicycle as at pres
ent propelled is not adapted to mud and
bad roads, This is not a revelation to
those who have had much experience
with them. The leg power as motive
force is insufficient. Whether the BIZ
cycle can be so equipped as to operate
with electric potency, and be able 20
overcome the obstacles Of mud and soft
roads, is one Of the problems of the flu
ture.
As at present constituted and operated,
the bicycle can only distance the horse
on solid roads in dry weather. The test

waited for dry roads. The bicycle is the
apostle of the gospel of good roads. 1t
must have smooth roads to be servicea-
bic. In this country armies engaged in
war have very generally used roads that
bicycles could not travel on. The use
OF the wheel in the army will be depend
ent on favoring conditions.
But even if the country's public high.
way system were brought up to perfec-
ton, the bicycle would never be availa-
bic as a means of rapid communication.
Telegraph lines can be constructed about
as rapidly as an army can move, and a
message transmitted by wire and cleo
tricity is not subject to any of the Wis
cissitudes incident to physical travel by
any method.

Last Friday there was presented in the
supreme court of Tennessee at jackson
the curious and unusual spectacle OF a
prisoner under sentence of death for
murder addressing the court in his own
behalf. The prisoner IS Colonel IT. CLAW
King, a former prominent member of
the Memphis bar. who was some months
ago convicted OF the murder Of David II.
Postou, a fellow lawyer, and sentenced
TO be hanged. An appeal was taken in
his case, which now comes before the SUI
preme court for review. The appeal is
said TO present law of great interest.
Colonel King argued his own case, and
was allowed three hours for that pur
pose, though the rule is that arguments
shall be limited TO two hours. There
was large attendance of lawyers from
all portions of Tennessee 10 witness the
trial and listen TO the speeches.

THE ARCH ENCHANTRESS.
For the Eagle.

For the Eagle
Admiration's eye is charmed serene,
And chivalrN worships at her shrine,
Owning willing allegiance l ween,
To that female form divine.
To that blithsome source of pleasure,
That potentate of life she gave,
That repository of blissful leisure,
Ia whom sadness finds grave.
OF affection endless as the universe,
Ever ebbing like the main,
OF responsive sympathy the tender nurse,
Without her consistency love might wane.
Submissive joy Ginning in her wake,
Cureless care is forced away,
And broken hearts and souls forsake,
The stool of sorrow for holiday.
Thus ignoring self in homage vain,
Regardless as in days of yore,
Enchanting Eve with magic strain,
Leaves trusting Adam TO deplore.
