Zimmerman, the Bicyclist, Comes Home on
the CITY of Paris

Zimmerman, the Bicyclist, Comes Home on
the City of Paris.
Zimmerman. the crack bicyclist Of the New
York Athletic Club, returned from abroad
yesterday on the City of Paris, and was warmly
welcomed home. party Of prominent wheel
men chartered the Crystal Stream to go down
the bay and take Zimmerman from the steamer,
but the City of Paris got ahead Of his friends.
As the Crystal Stream was casting loose from
her dock at the foot of Vesey street, North
river, with q party of 200 wheelmen and
Capps's Seventh Regiment Band aboard, the
City of Paris hove in sight.
The chartered steamer ran ont into the stream
and steamed alongside of the City of Paris,
where, amid music and great shouting. thinner
man soon made his appearance. The Crystal
Stream then steamed up to the Inman line dock
and waited to take Zimmerman of the queen of
the ocean steamers and convey him 20 Asbury
Park, where the Asbury Park wheelmen de-
sired to honor hun with q dinner.
Zimmerman's arrival upon shore was the sig
nal for another outbreak. big procession was
formed and headed by a brass band. thinner
man was borne along upon the shoulders Of his
admirers to the Ocean House. where he sat
down to dinner. Late in the afternoon, in
company with his father, he left for Manssquan.

In talking Of his trip to q New York Sun re-
porter Zimmerman spoke In high terms OF the
Treatment he received. He left America early
in February, and, while not accomplishing his
main object, namely, In meeting the much
talked-of F. J. Osmond, he had q highly sue
cessful and ENJOYABLE trip. Zimmerman claims
that Osmond avoided every race in which he
was entered until the ten-miie Brfxton cup
event, run two days after the ffty-mile n G.
Z. championship race, which Zimmerman won.
The American racer suited that bis fifty -mile
ride had stiffened him considerably, and, con-
sidering that Osmond was entirely fresh and
hsd refused to meet him throughout his stay,
be saw no reason Why he should race.
The English tracks, Zimmerman thinks, are
not superior, as reported, 70 those In America
He thinks the Springfield, Mass., track equally
rs frst as the famous Herne Hill course. In
comparing the foreign and American racing
men, he favored the Americans. He thinks
that an American team could easily discount
the foreign racers. He also says that the Eng
hshmen have got handicapping down to .
science.

tered unmolested. Seeing no one they
rushed at once to the sleeping-room
above. They found the window open
and the floor covered with snow, but
nothing appeared to have been dis
turbed.
Suddenly one of the men gave an ex-
clamation of horror, and every body ran
to his side as he stood by the window.
The cause was apparent at once.
The robber was still there in the top
of the old apple tree. In some way his
feet had slipped among the snowy
branches and as he fell his neck had
been tightly wedged into the crotch be-
tween two limbs.
All his efforts to release himself had
evidently been unavailing; but during
his struggles the mask had slipped off.
and his horror-stricken neighbors were
gazing full upon his features. No
wonder the man had cried out on first
beholding them! ra
1t was the face of Lewis Lakewood
indeed, but it was now cold and icy
one. Justice, swift and sure, had
overtaken him in his nefarious attempt;
for he had been caught and strangled
between the combining branches of the
old apple tree, to hang there all through
the long and freezing night only to be
discovered in the morning. frozen and
dead. %. E. Young, in Goodall's Sun.

We're asked to name the daintiest

season of the year, would unhesita-
tingly name the innocent tomcod of the
atlantic as the most deserving of the
distinction.
Irealize the fact that the green smelt
is possessed of excellent gustatory
points, but its peculiar flavor causes
one to tire of it much the same as we
lose all desire for the clam with the
seasonable introduction of the oyster.
1t is not SO with the merry tomcod. In
stead of becoming surfeited. one han
kers more and more for the microgadus
tom tit, until the habit so fastens itself
on one that it is with difficulty shaken
off,
To be eaten in perfection they must
be cleaned the day they are caught A
little salt should be rubbed on the in
side, and the fish pnt away for at least
six hours before they are cooked; then
cook them in pork fat
They are more of breakfast and
luncheon fish than n dinner fish; still
there is no good reason why they should
not be served at dainty club dinners
when terrapin, duck and heavy joints
are served. They are delightful
broiled, but the flesh is so fal<y that
unless ohe is an expert he is likely to
experience some difficulty in removing
Them whole from the broiler. A liberal
application OF olive oil or melted butter
before cooking them will help matters
wonderfully. Slightly dredged with
flour and dropped into a liberal bath of
boiling fat, there to remain until
golden brown, is another way of cook
ing them, but the most palate ravishing
method of cooking them is the simplest.
Grease baking tin with table but
ter, put the fish into the pan with heads
and fms left on, and strew over the fish
little balls of butter seasoned with
white pepper and salt; put them into
hot oven and cook fifteen minutes; next
place them on a hot platter, pour the
contents of the pan over them and serve
quickly, as they cool rapidly.
If one must heve sauce with them, let
it be melted butter thickened with
hose radish la Governor Bum. The
individual who could not eat them
plain, however, would be very hard to
please. Thomas ]. Murrey, in N. Y,

WON'T "cRoss A FUNERAL"
A Funny Motion OF Some superstitious
P0Onle.

A Funny Motion of Some Superstitious
People.
You may get some idea of how wide
spread is the superstitious belief that
crossing funeral procession" brings
bad luck if you will stand any day at
the New York or Brooklyn entrance
to the East river bridge and wait until
hearse and long line of carriages
appear. You won't have to wait very
long. So many mourners pass over
the bridge that it is almost entitled to
be called "rhe Bridge of Signs"
And when your patience is rewarded
by the arrival of the cortege, if you are
ON either the New York or the Brook
lyn side you will observe that, though
the horses are moving slowly and
though there is plenty of room to pass
between the carriages, many men and
women who have been walking rapid
ly halt suddenly and wait until the
last carriage has gone by. Some do
not stop, but hurry on. They are the
indifferent or the ignorant or the recls-
less ones
On the Brooklyn side one day l saw
crowd of certainly two hundred
superstitious persons awaiting the
passing of procession. A number of
those who waited were evidently am
noyed at the delay, and when the rear
vehicle had passed they ran to make
up the time which superstition had
caused them to lose.
Does that always occur when a
funeral procession is passing?" asked
of bridge policeman.
"Oh, yes" he answered. "Some-
times there's more and sometimes less,
but l don't believe a funeral ever
crossed the bridge without somebody
stopping.
When first came on the bridge. y
he went on, II didn't understand it. l
used to stop the carriages and motion
to the people to cross over But thew
wouldn't. They'd stand as if they were
glued. / don't bother about 'em now.
One day as funeral procession was
leaving the roadway a couple of girls
came up One of them stopped. The
other ran across.
"'Oh, Mamie" shouted the one who
had stopped, you have crossed a funer-
al
Goodness, me- says Mamie,
'what'll do?'
Come back quick before it gets by
says the other one, and Mamie ran
over in front of the last carriage.

Are Parents Right In worshiping Their
Own Offspring.
The fact that SO many of us, like Mr..
Wegg, decline and fall pretty steadily
through life, tells for pessimism, but it
is still overbalanced by the optimistic
sign given us in the spiritual height
from which some of us start; and this
sign is none the less impressive for be-
ing SO mysterious. do not allow my
self to be cast down because these angel
faces are often borne by babies who
need spanking much oftener than they
are likely to get it, for there is a great
deal in the richest ore besides gold; but
] admit it is sadly depressing to see so
many children who give little sign of a
birthright of grace. How can anyone
declare he adores them in a lump, after
the sentimental manner, when the very
infant in arms so often shows q soul
sickening, self-evident likeness to an
aggressive, stupid father or sharp,
vulgar little fool of mother? Still
believe the case is not SO bad as it looks
to the casual but sensitive observer A
wise woman tells me that is not the
sheer fatality of folly that enchants
people with the most unprepossessing
young one when it happens to be their
own, but that truly it is only its own
family who can really know a baby's
charms, and it is her belief that if we
could have all the evidence before us
in even the most unaccountable case,
we should see that the worshipers were
wiser than the scoeing world.
We all know that the tiresome brat
can present wonderfully appealing as
pects-say when only the little back is
seen, and its sleepy wee head has fallen
trustfully on grown-up shoulder
Science may account for the pull the
sight makes on your heart-strings, but
in some way, after you have duly in
formed yourself as to the evolution of
the emotions, it is still apt in expert
ence. like childhood's on gaze, to carry
tidings to your deeper, perhaps all but
unconscious self of precious undiscov-
cred possessions and kinships in the
