about BicvcIeS.

There's no more reason why
you should pay $I5o or so for
a frst-class Bicycle than why
you should give say SIS for a
high-grade Sewing Machine.
The time has passed when any
maker OF either Bicycles or
Sewing Machines can monopo-
lie the good things that go in
to either.
When we took up the BIZ
cycle business last season it
was to deal with them just as
we dealt with merchandise of
every other sOrt-buy and sell
them without extravagant pro-
fit to anyone.
1t would surprise most BIZ
cycle riders to know how little
a hrst-class Wheel really costs.
But there are some necessary
patented things that lift the
expense a little.
Carriages at $3.50.
We introduced the Cont
mental last Fall.
That was our name.
Wheelman knew the Ma
chine by another title-and
gladly paid ST. so for it.
We made the price $40.
Moore than 1873 of the Con-
tinentals went into hard use
before the leaves fell.
They were thoroughly tested.
Makers, buyers and ourselves
were pleased.
That is why the Continental
is here again, 1894 model.
Better than last year, and
priced as temptingly.
Continental Full Roadster, ga lbs) with
Morgan and Wright tire. s7O same. with
G. & J. tire, SIS
Continental Light Roadster (30% lbs) Nor.
gan & Wright tire, SIS; same, with G. & j.
tire, $50.
In the old way of selling
$3.50 or $I6o would to-day
be the price of our $50 Con-
tinental.
Makers guarantee is behind
each wheel.

The DOVER TAX CoLLECToR.-The
Inder justified the course of Collector
Powell in leaving the State and refus-
ing to receive taxes when found in
Philadelphia the DeLGUdreGn does
not, passing the subject over in silence {:
the Sentinel declares it a disregard of
law, and among other things in speak
ing of returning them as delinquents
says: 1T may be of interest to our
readers to know something of the cir
cumstances which led up to this extra
ordinary effort on the part OF the tax
payers of East Dover Hundred to cap
ture the collector and pay their taxes.
No Republican denies the fact that
Mr.. Powell is in feeble heath. No one
denies that he did sit in Dover to receive
taxes during the days he advertised he
would sit. But all Republicans and all
honorable men, without regard to party,
deny that he completes his duty with
this sitting. He is as much bound to
receive taxes at any other time as he is
during those days advertised"
"Mr. Powell stated repeatedly that
he would como to his Dover office to
receive taxes repeatedly he fixed days
and asked taxpayers to meet him on
these days named promising to accept
taxes. In obedience to this Oft-made
arrangement large number of persons
came three and four times to meet him
and be failed to keep his promise.
Some persons came by railroad long
distances, and more than once, to meet
him on days named by him, and he
failed them. Other persons failing to
find him at his Office went to his home
and were refused admission, and not
permitted to see him. And when he
was in town, with scores of people
looking for him, he lodged from Office
to Office, keeping out of the way like a
hunted culprit eyading a pursuing
Officer"
THE plea of ill-health is nothing but
blind. His physician has said re
peatedly that he was able to transact it,
for the reason that he exhibited great
activity in keeping out of the way

The ASSESSMENT OF VOTERs.-Ac-
cOrding to reports the members of the
New Castle Levy Court are disposed
to deal fairly with tho parties who
wish to be assessed, and therefore, all
persons who desire to have their names
placed ont he list need not have any fear
of being subjected to Unnecessary trouble
or receive any ungentlemanly treat
ment. Th proceedings, it is said, con-
trast strangely with those of former
Levy Courts when the members did all
in their power to escape the perform
ance of their duty, and it was abb
solutely a continuous struggle to get
the names of those who apply to be
assessed, placed on the list.-DaiLy

The Morning NeluS in speaking of
assessment matters says: 1t will make
no difference if there are twenty thous-
and names the assessed has the
right to demand that his name be put
upon the lists. The fact that man is
assessed does not complete his quail
fication to vote. 1t is but the prelimin-
AIRY step. The most important step is
the one of being registered just prior
to the election. 1t is then that the
wedding out process can proceed.
Every man who is registered is COM
PEELED to give his residence, and it is
not a difficult matter to locate every
man who is registered Even if men
are assessed twice they cannot register
twice, and any man who does succeed
in doing that can be traced and pun
ished.
