Police on the Wheel.

The proposal to mount a part Of tho
park police on bicycles is timely though
tardy. Already the world armies have
organize dtheir bicycle service, and it
can hardly be contended that this mode
Of locomotion is more appropriate there
than in the police service or likely to be
so useful. In the event Of the wheels
adoption by the police authority the
public may assume that the men will be
required to sit it properly. They will
not offend the eye by contributing to
the monkey on gridiron exhibition.
In fact, their martial appearance could
be expected to contribute by its example
to diminish that depressing practice.
It is certain that the seat of the mounted
police has stimulated perception of the
ridiculous in equestrians bobbing from
the saddle like cockney tailors out for a
holiday.
The extension of the use Of the wheel
is among the interesting phenomena Of
the day. The French postal service has
adopted it extensively in rural service.
Even the stolid Briton has proposed the
reform. In England, however, the mag
nitude Of the mail offers some difficult
ties. Its growing extension in the col
onies is marked. The export of bicycles
now cuts q respectable figure in board
of trade returns. During the past year
| the value has nearly doubled.-New
York Evening Sun.

FARAWAY MOSES"
One of the Most Conspicuous Characters II
the Midway Pl;1iSauct..


In the Turkish village at the Worlds
fair a fine looking old man, dressed in d
rich Ottoman costume, greets visitors
so cordially that he is apt to set them
wondering where they ever met him be
fore. II they ever have met him before,
they do not wonder, for it must have
been on the shores of the Bosphorus.
and if they. have ever met hlm there
they never could forget him. 1t is posi-
BILE that some of his cordiality may be
due to a notion on his part that he may
have met the visitors before and does not
wish to seem to have forgotten them.
He has met a good many of them, and
his memory is surprisingly good, butit
would be quite impossible for him to re.
member all the Americans he has met
and done good offices for during the past
SO years, for the list includes all our dis
tinguished citizens who have visited the
east, and a great many who We're not
particularly distinguished, besides all

and Porter down to the present time,

immorta1ized by Mark Twain and ''Sun-
set" Cox, and considers himself the par
ticular friend of all Americans and all
Americans particular friends Of his.
His friendly greeting indicates this,
and his record proves it. For more than
so years he has been the guide and ca1n-
selor Of Americans visiting Constantine
pie, and many an unluclly wight igno-
rant Of the peculiar customs of that land
of misrule is indebted to Faraway Moses
for getting out Of some unfortunate
scrape. This has not be i Improbable
to Moses in a pecuniary as well as q SEN
timental way, for of the round million
at which his fortune is recl1oned he
doubtless owes q great deal to his friends
from the United States.
1t is remarkable that no one seems to
know any other name for him than Far
away Moses, the name Mark Twain said
he was so proud Of, though he is said to
be a pasha. At 70 years of age he is
still well preserved physically and is a
remarkable conversational in most Of
the modern languages.

Singular Case of Insanity.

Professor Alfonso Carpentieri, the
famous gynecologist of the University
Of Naples, became suddenly insane a
few days ago. He imagined that he was
dying from starvation and thirst, and,
entering restaurant, drank four cups
of coffee, bottle Of Wine, a bottle of
cognac, and ate Is sandwiches and
more than Il dozen eggs. When the
proprietor declined to serve anything
else, the professor sprang on tie table
and cried with the voice OF Stentor:
Eggs, eggs! Give me eggs and l;eep me
from starving!' When he began to
break chairs; and tables, he was over
powered and placed in d hospital He

hagen, where Gladstone had his later
view with the czar. Nothing more
amusing can be imagined than Miss Mar
got's account Of the rivalry that existed
between the grand old man OF politics
and the grand old man of poetry, the one
anxious to talk all the time and the other
equally desirous to read necessarily his
favorite poems aloud until WEAKNESS in
duced every one Of the listeners to glide
softly away, leaving the laureate reading
aloud all by himself at one end of the
boat and Gladstone talking all alone at
the other end.
During the Emperor Williams last
visit to London Miss Tenant made d
wager that she would force him to speak
to her, and by a clever maneuver she
succeeded in doing so while riding in
Rotten row. So pleased was he with
the acquaintance thus formed that he
subsequently waltzed several times With
her at the state ball in Buckingham
palace.
Her father, Sir Charles Tenant, who
owes his baronetcy to Mr.. Gladstone, is

gathering was remarkable for the num-
ber of distinguished men, among others
Lord Rosebery and MI. Gladstone. Mr..

Offer to Float the Victoria.

Signor Balsamello, the inventor Of the
Balla Nautica the submarine vessel with
which several successful experiments
We're performed lately at Civita Vecchia
in the presence of q commission appoint
ed by the italian government, declares
that by the aid of his invention he can
float her majesty's ship Victoria at a
cost Of less than 10000. He says that
with the Balla Nautica he can make az
rangements for raising weights far ex-
ceeding that Of the sunken ironclad. The
preparations and placing Of grapnels and
chains around the Victoria would take d,
month and would be performed by the
crew of the submarine ship, which has
already descended to and been 1naneu-
vered successfully at depths beyond that
in which the Victoria lies, The bring
ing of the ship to the surface would take
two days.-St. James Gazette.

of financial depression shows that the
Alliance folk are neither poor nor clos
fistetl.
| have before me as I write an account
OF the first camp meeting held in Deiu-
Ware III 1908, and of Il number Of other
camp meetings held in the vicinity Of
New York the same year. The Delaware
camp meeting WAS opened every morning
at ) by the blowing Of trlnpers, trump
cts sounded again at s for preaching, ;tt
3 p. IN. for preaching and at s again.
"From time to time" writes a chrori
cler of that day, "scores We're struck to
the ground, a part Of whom appeared
lifeless; others in agonies crying with
the most lamentt,blo anguish to God for
mercy, others finding peace and shouting
praises and glory to God, while happy
believers in ecstacies Of JOY and gladness
We're minYling their tears and voices il:
praises and hal1cluiahs to God and the
Lamb The crowds, the writer says,
were very orderly, but 'there We're seven
justices Of the peace and seven constn.
bles and two sheriffs, together with Il
large guard OF men, constantly on the
ground, SO that any person or persons
who might have been disposed to dis
tllrb OF breed disorder were kept in awe
or terror"
Perhaps the camp meetings of these
times that differ most from the original
sort are those held by the Salvation
Army. The uniforms Of the men and
women, the beating of drums and Gym
balls and the sound of wind instruments
are features that would have been re-
garded with horror by the Methodists
who used to hold camp meetings at The
Hook When [ was a boy.
In the south, camp meetings are largely
left to the negroes. With the colored
brethren and sisters the woody gather
ings are truly seasons Of refreshing and
awakening. 1t is at camp meeting time
that the emotional and musical qualities
Of the colorel race have widest oppor-
tunity for exercise. Here is sample
verse from one of the most popular camp
meeting hymns:
Oh! how I'll shout when git honae!
Doan' yo' feel like crossin ober?
He create, an he destroy
Doan' yo' feel like crossin ober?
Roll, Jordan, roll! Roll, Jordan, roll!
All things considered, camp meetings
are among the most picturesque features
Of American life. May each sort flour
ish as long as the republic stands, from
Chautauqua and Ocean Grove to those
held by the Salvationists at The Hook
and the negro meetings at Gravely Hill
