all failed. Yet while the reputable delegates
from Troy were shut out from the COVER
nors presence, the door was open to less
desirable visitors. The New York Times
says that "heelers and tuppeny legislators

chamber unheeded. James Dougrey, super
intendent Of the Champlain canal, a notori-
Gus ballot-box manipulation Of Troy, a regu-
lator of cock fights and OF dog fights. had

The board OF trade meeting last night
was interesting and satisfactory. The
board Is dealing energetically with live
subjects. and Is causing a notable Increase
of interest, both among citizens and legis-
lators IN deserving projects for the ad-
vancement OF the capital Action was taken
at last evenings meeting urging the Great
ing Of a free circulating library, with read
ing rooms open at night, for the benefit
Of all Washington. and the erection of a
much-needed municipal building. Every
Washingtonian should constitute himself a
committee OF one to carry into effect these
projects The reports OF the committees
In respect to them furnish all tha facts nee
essary to convince the most skeptcal OF
their absolute necessity for the public well
fare. Armed with these facts. every resi-
dent OF the city should make clear to those
Of Washinston's legislators with whom he
has acquaintance the wisdom Of the pro-
posed legislation. The establishment of a
public library of the kind now recommended
by the board Of trade has been frequently
urged by The Star, and. as the need Of It
and the great benefits to result from IL are
manifest, and as no money appropriation Is
asked to arouse opposition, The Star IS
hopeful that IL the people will now give a
long pull and a strong pull and pull all
together, the library may be obtained A
new municipal building IS also one OF the
most urgent needs Of the capital. and every
effort to secure one should be made.

The Coxey movement has at last as
surned an interesting phase. Heretofore It
has been rather amusing than otherwise,
but now IL Is full Of lessons. For instance,
what greater moral could be taught than
that OF a Providential interposition of
weather to test the courage and the inten-
tons OF the Army of Peace3 What could be
more edifying than the coming of a cold
wave, bringing with It gusts Of snow and
hard roads and frost-bitten toes and noses?
Nothing IN the range of the natural could
be better fitted to the occasion. Should the
march prove a fzzle now, as seems quite
likely, the faithful can contend. with some
show OF reason. that the grand progress
failed to function because OF the elements.
They can assert that "Old Probs'' was On
the side Of the plutocrats and the govern
ment. and that the day Is yet to come for
the grand demonstration. OF course, a
feeling OF disappointment is sure 10 prevail
among them. but hope is not gone, If the
full and interesting bulletins from the
seat Of war are accurate. To be sure, there
nave been grumblings and murmuri,gs
among the common herd in the army, whom
senator PETER is fond OF calling the
groundlings because OF the luxurious
tendencies Of the grand crank, Coxey, him.

De some OF the followers who cannot discern
just the peculiar quality of MIR. Coxey's
sacrifice, yet history will doubtless survive
the shock Of the invasion to record this
peculiar demonstration of equality" and
freedom that has been made by the leader.
Ihere Is ons interesting fact to be noted.
Coxey is henceforth to be known as the
gentleman who was bHghted by the same
frost that ruined a Delaware peach crop.
America would tremble with apprehension
were a season to pass without the spelling
or few peach crops and this year of Ha-
waiian policies and selgniorage bills and
other curiosities Is not to be without its
customary genealogical ruin. The slangy
might be tempted to allude henceforth to
Mr.. Coxey as a veritable peach, but that
Is beside the mark. Coxey deserves a great
deal OF sympathy. and that is something
that the peach crop never gets In this
skeptical land.

Ode
To bust Of one w. Shakespeare.
Oh. Willie, Willie. Willie. did you really
write the plays
That have made US all your worshfpers SO
long.
Or were you just fakir,
A dishonest credit-taker,
Like the modern bard. who thrives on
borrowed song?
Oh, Willie. gentle Willie, were you friendly
with the muse,
Ut just portion Of another's plan:
Did you WELD a pen satyrtc,
Philosophical and lyric,
Or were you Francis Bacon's hired man?
Inform US. can't you Willie why In history
we find
w 1acts concerning you a certain dearth:
Did you have no intimation
That while you took that vacation
Mr.. Bacon would be mortgaging the earth
Say. VIII. are you the Willie who has put
the world in tune
To music which must thrill forever more:
Or Just a maIefactor,
An uneducated actor
For they do say that your acting was a
bore.
Twould be hard to lose you. Willie. for your
name we've long revered,
And the depth Of our affection makes us
pause;
Ere you're dumped into the chasm
OF vast iconoclasm
Along with William Tell and Santa Claus.

The statement that the missing

who do not know of what these family
treasures consist, says the Westminster

with enameled silver m ountings, which
has descended to the Bruce family
The possession of this horn is said to be
the title under which the wardenship
of Savernake forest is held under a
charter granted by Edward VI to the
Protector Somerset. The horn is about
two feet long and ffty-three inches in
diameter at the largest end. The en-
ameled silver mountings represent in a
series Of compartments the figures Of a
king, bishop, huntsman or warden
of the forest, with different animals Of
the chase, There is tradition among
the keepers OF Savernake forest that
this horn was formerly carried and
sounded By one of the keepers in his
Uniform before the king when he

The Man Astrlde a Pncnm&tic- Tired
Wheel Triumphs Over a Horse.
The thoroughbred race horse is be-
lieved to be the swiftest animal on the
globe. So when the king of racers, Sal
vator. covered mile ON a straight
track at Monmouth park on August %,
1890, in 1885 (which is still the record
he probably went the distance in less
than it was ever trayersed before or
since by a, living creature of any kind
moving unaided over the surface of the
earth. Had anyone at that time predict
ed that within FIVE years man on bi-
cycle would propel himself over the
same distance on a similar or any other
track in faster time than that of the
Thoroughbred, he would, says Harper's
Weekly, have been considered some
thing more than merely visionary. At
that time the bicyelist was competing
with the trosting horse, but that he
would ever equal the runner was not
dreamed IF even by ultra enthusiasts.
And vet this undreamed-of feat has
now been accomplished. Since the adj
vent of the pneumatie-tire Wheel With
ball bearings, records have been fall
ing before the bicycle more rapidly
than before the trotter -notwithstand-
ing the phenomenal advances of the
latter until Of late several wheelmen
have been going miles below two min
utes, leaving the trotter quite out Of
the race. Btst no bicyciist has come
within striking distance of the speed
of even an ordinary thoroughbred, I'M
;til Of sudden a professional racing
.ctcli5t, John S. johnson, the western
wonder" took fourteen seconds off the
bicycle record at a single clip, and
eclipsed not only some but all thorough
BREEDS b. riding a mile in 1875 2-5. The
Feat was accomPhshed over a straight
course at Buffalo, n. Y, October "a.
2 The pacemahers were four men
mounted on a quadruplet machine.
Thus for the first time in the worlds
history man has propelled himself
mile purely by muscular exertion
faster than the muscles of any other
living creature ever carr ried it over
the earth's surface. As a triumph of
human development, aided by the in
ventions of human ingenuity, over
mere animal development, this achieve
ment is therefore unique and worthy
of record quite apart from its interest
to the sportsman.
