LEGS NOT A NECESSITY.
The Motor Cycle Drives Itself-A Gallon
of Coal Oil Throws Muscle in the Shade.
(New York SUM-

The latest conception Of the inventive
genluses who cater to the requirements Of
the wheel world is the motor cycle. The
novelty is intended TO take the Place OF
buggies and carriages, and is designed to
be OF service at all seasons OF the year
and in every kind OF going.
The tires are fully four inches IN dame
ter, and vibration Is reduced 10 mimi
mum. The motive-power Is produced by
coal-oil. and as soon as the rider takes his
seat securely the machine does the rest.
A gallon OF oil will drive the singie-seat
motor 200 miles while twice the quantity
will send the new four-whecled contri-
vance a similar distance with three ras-
sengers aboard.
The four wheeler seems destined to a
long lease of popularity. 1t practically
consists OF two ladies' bicycles connected
by a carriage seat. In which three pas
sengers can seat themselves comfortably.
The speed can be controlled at the opera
tors will, but just how fast ''scorcher"
may send II along will not be known with
any degree OF accuracy until the practical
speed trial Is held on some date In the
near future. a.
The designer has been long before the
public with his airship theories. and now
that he has got down to terra firma the
chances are that his ideas Will be found
of practical utility. Should a 1.-THE OF the
inventors hopes be realized the public
must be prepared to see citizens gliding
along with far less waste OF energy than
Is required to climb an elevator stairs or
sprint from the sidewalk to catch sur

OF coal-oil, and a box OF matches. the
yeriest cripple will be. able to hold his own
with the most muscular prodigy bestriding
a wheel.

LOUISIANA SENATORS DIsPLeASED.
They Strongly Antsgonize, Indeed, the
Sugar Schedule Notifications.

WASHINGTON. June 29-The LOUISIANA
senator's are understood 10 be strongly
antagonistic TO the notifications In the
Democratic members OF the Finance Com
mittee yesterday. This modification
changes the time when the sugar schedule
shall go into effect from the list day Of
January, as previously agreed upon. TO
the date of the approval OF the bill. II
also continues a part only Of the bounty
for the present year, giving a bounty OF
$40 Of cent a pound on sugar above
80 and of $40 on sugar below 80 and
above 50 degrees. polariscope test.
Still another change Is that which au-
thorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
not to impose an additional duty of lilo
cent on sugar imported from countries
paying an export bounty, when he is
satisfied that the producer has not been
the beneficiary OF such bounty.
While 1t is obvious that these amend
ments ars In every way unsatisfactory to
the Louisiana senator's. neither OF these
gentlemen will discuss the matter. Their
objections are two-fold. The first Is that
these changes will seriously affect the
business Of the sugar producers of the
United States, and secondly. that they
are a direct violation of the agreement
made by the Democratic caucus with
reference TO the sugar schedule. The SUI
gar schedule, as 1t now stands. is not
what the sugar representatives OF the
country would like. but they believed at
the time II would be the best compromise
that could be made, and 1t was accepted
by them in that spirit. The reason given
by the Finance Committee for changing
the schedule Is that further concessions
are necessary in order to secure the pas
sage Of the bill.

self. heart and soul into the Confederate
cause He was an active member OF the
Ambulance Committee, and organ
