The Wheel on the stage.

The bicycle is to play a conspicuous
part in several of next seasons realistic
dramas. Romantic use of 1t will be IN
dertaken iu one love play, and it will
figure comically in farce and light opera.
AS If that were not enough. it will be
played in rivalry with "The Country
Fair" by means of a bicycle race at full
speed on or about the same tread mill ar
rangement. Haif-a-dozen Americans,
have bean quarreling rs to priority
of idea in the Introduction of u
bicycle race on the stage. They will be
interested to know that none of them de-
serves any honori in the premises. At the
London Standard, in 1859. in the Christ
mas pantomine of "Jaek, the Giant
Killer" a race took place between a loco
motive and the bicycle machine. in front
of a moving panorama. The lad who rode
the bicycle is now the actor. Frank Tyars,
of Henry Irving's Company. Again, in
"Cinderella," in 1Ss4-5. two men, seated
in a sociable Tricycle., had Il stage race
with u boy mounted on an ordinary high
bicycle.

Kissing His own Company,

The celebrated Tate Wilkinson had
sundry peculiar habits. During his career
as manager, if any member of his COM
pany had o~bstinately negle ctsd to listen
to his advice on any particular point of
acting, or the like. he would mount on
some future night into the gallery, and
hiss most streuuously, and experience
which generally brought the delinquent
to his senses. On one occasion. being
more than usually indignant at some very
slovenly exhibition on the stage, his hiss
was remarkably audible. The delinquent
actor, however, seemed TO have friends
around him, for II cry of Turn him outl'
arising, poor Wilkinson was unceremon-
iously removed from his own gallery, and
eJected into the street. Notwithstanding
this defeat. he still maintained this useful
and disinterested experiment..

A Milking

The Custom House at Chicago d as re-

land, that the inventor thlnks will revo-
lutionize the present hand system of

when adjusted to the COW the milk Is said
to flow in u continuous stream. 1t is said
to lie largely used in Scotland and the
first ever brought to the United States.
The machine is said to cost S55 In Scot
land, and the proDrietors had to pay into
the Treasury of Uncle Sam $45 additional

appraisers having difficulty in finding thu

JUDGE KRUGER AND MR.. SMITH.
From the Neacark Evening Ne,cs.

pTOm tue 4fetCUFh evening NelcS.
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS aud the New
Brunswick FredOnfdn are probably in
error in ascribing to the influence of Lay
Judge Gottfried Kruger the opposition
of Il Newark Sunday newspaper to the
political plans and leadership of James
Smith Jr. MI. Kruger is in Europe no ",
and the kind Of warfare which the news
paper in question is waging is scarcely
that which he would inspire. But OBJ
servers nearer Newark than New Bruins
wick and Jersey City have been waiting
for some time for Mr.. Kruger to assert
in State and local politics the influence
which belongs to him.
Mr.. Kruger occupies a peculiar posi-
ton III public affairs. The literally and
public spirit which make him conspicu-
Gus amoug the rich men of Newark have
assisted in building up his popularity.
In politics he has served others rather
than himself. He has not been alto
gether fortunate In all his proteges, but
he has acted toward them with u loyalty
and good faith which are at the basis of
continued and permanent political leader
ship. Mr.. Kruger, too, is the most
conspicuous figure, SO far as pol
itics aud public affairs are concerned,
among the German citizens of New
ark. Their numbers and the ties
of nationality and kindred senti-
ment which unite them maze these peo-
pie very powerful in the community.
Nor is Mr.. Krueger's strength limited by
race or even party lines. Even those who,
on political grounds or because of antag-
onisni to certain interests which he re-
presents. oppose the popular brewer,
admire the generosity and the sound
judgment and integrity which have been
conspicuous in his successful career.
In the Democratic State, city and county
organizations Mr.. Kruger occupies a like
position with Mr.. Smith. The latter has
been, or has been made to appear to be.
by far the more astute and influential of
the two In a sense his exaltation has
been at Mr.. Krueger's expense. 1t is only
natural that the ~latter's friends should
wonder if he is content. being in politics,
to occupy the subordinate place. 1t is
natural that such speculations as those of
the Jersey City aud New Brunswick
newspapers should have been INDUCED
in. especially at the time of times when
ii Mr.. Kruger is not satisfied with the
present con dition of affairs, he and his
friends have the most favorable of op-
~portunities to bring about a change.

The Ballot Box Suffers Life in Jail.
The article in our news columns So
day, concerning the life of the ballot
box suffers at Trenton State prison,
is printed for the double purpose of
refuting certain ISLANDERS which have
recently crept into Republican pa
pers, aud of holding up the dreadful
example of the fate of these men be-
fore all persons inclined to evil in this
county.
We find that the men are treated
exactly in the same name as any
other convicted criminal. They are
shaver and shorn and clad in the
hideous stripes. They march in the
lock step, they stand with their faces
to the wall. They eat the rough food
of the Jail. They perform the
mental offices exacted from men
in their degraded position. Most
miserable of all are those who sit in
their cells all day, eating out their
hearts in lonely contemplation.
So far as we can detect, these men
have no privileges whatever that
every other convict does not enjoy.
They meet with just as little indul-
gence from the prison authorities as
they did from the courts.
1t is a sad and painful spectacle,
taken altogether, this, OF a number of
men, many of whom had claims to
responsibility, thus undergoing a
shameful and bitter course of punish
ment. 1t is an awful warning. Long
may it be before Hudson County will
furnish any similar example of the
consequences of treason to the State.

forgery of European dispatches is not an

The Meaning of Blunders.

Some people have an unfortunate
propensity to brood over what they
call the mistakes" of their lives. 1t
arises from a false estimate of human
judgment and an overstrained idea of
the responsibility of their actions.
A conscientious woman of middle
age wrote to a friend, II am glad to
be spared a longer life, that / may
spend il in repenting my past mis-
takes" To spend ones time in la
lnenting past mistakes seems the
worst mistake of all. Life is short at
the longest. There is little time to
dream of doing, less to mourn over
what has been done. To act, to act
quickly, to act up to our best instincts
and highest aspirations, is all we a
do. 1t is all that is expected. After
that our responsibility ceases, and the
final result belongs only to God.
The good woman above quoted had
always acted according to her best
judgment. But, being human judg-
ment, it was fallible. Being human,
she could not foresee the full conse-
quences of her actions, but could
only do as seemed right at the time.
Now if she was called upon to act to-
day, what better could she do than
that? Then why regret that she SO
acted before?
Examining into this matter Of blum
ders a little further, and particularly
in tracing the course of the mistakes
well meant" in our own lives, when
we look back upon them with the
cooler understanding of later years,
we are constrained to confess that the
mistake" must have been intended
to be there, as we'll as the correct
action, because the plan of
our development has included
both. Continuing to study clearly
and deeply, we must acknowledge
that the mistakes and errors, nay, the
very sins, when forsaken and for
given, have helped the soul upward;
that all have worked together to ac-
complish the result sought; that

It's a Poor Rule. Etc.
There is just now a triumphant lit
tie lady on Dearborn avenue, neal
Chicago avenue, and only a block
away is a glazief who is suffering the
horrors of defeat.
In the Dearborn avenue house we're
two broken window-panes. One of
these was entirely destroyed and the
other had only a small corner broken
off. The glazier was sent for to re-
| place them.
Now. the lady had two small pic
lures in need of glass, and the big
pane was just the thing. She would
have it cut to fit them, and would be
so much ahead. But when she had
paid the workman the big pane was
gone.
She sent the domestic over for it,
but the glazier refused to give it up.
1T vhas der rules of der shop he ex-
claimed blandly. Then the little
woman went over.
See here, l paid you what you
asked for putting in those panes, and
you've carried off my glass; l want
that glass now"
"Vhell, you pays feefty cents. Der
rules of der shop say So"
II don't care anything about the
rules of the shop. You've taken my
glass and l want it,"
Wheel, you get out" he returned,
and the little woman reiterated.
Later in the evening she returned,
accompanied by her husband. The
husband without any preface, walked
up to the counter, took up the win
dow pane and started out with it.
Police! Police!" shrieked the ex-
cited workman, rushing out on the
sidewalk. The husband laid the
glass down as the two officers from
the Chicago avenue station hurried
up. The situation was explained and
the police told the husband to take
the glass if he was certain of the
property. When he looked around,
however, it had disappeared.
They were outwitted. Justice
Kersten vas appealed to to recover
the property under a criminal war
rant. 1t wouldn't stick. Then the
little woman decided to bide her time.
1t came.
Three mornings later the GLACIERS
boy rang the bell. Did the g!azier
leave a hammer there the Other day?
"Oh, yes" replied the landlady,
stoutly.
The glazier needed it very badly.
That's all right. Tell him it's the
rule of this house that we keep all the
tools left here. If he wants his ham
mer tell him to return my glass"
Ten minutes later the boy was at
the door with the pane of glass. The
landlady took it.

Being Neighborly to the Queen.
1t is well known that the Queen,
when residing at Balmoral Castle,
loves to go about in simple guise

She then proffered a ragged article,

sticking here and there through the

umbrella, which was better than
nothing, and went forth in the rain,
not by one word betraying her rank.
