Bicycle News and Notes.

Fred Kemp has a new Singer bicycle.
P. T. Clair has anew Lowell diamond
wheel.
Livery stable keepers say that the
bicycling is running their business this
summer.
Parties of wheelmen made runs
Sunday to Brattleboro, Grafton, Put
ney, Claremont and Springfield.
Many cyclists are carrying bells,
which are great convenience and help
in avoiding collisions. A few lanterns
are. also seen evenings.
Some very pleasant runs have fol-
lowed the shutdown at the rain foun-
dry. The roads are in excellent condi-
ton for riding and cyclists are taking
full advantage of it. Last Thursday
evening party of about dozen ladies
and gentlemen rode to Rockingham
River and home, arriving here about
$50 o'clock. On Friday evening six
teen riders went to Charlestown and
had a lunch of light refreshments at the
Eagle hotel A number Of other runs
are planned for moonlight evenings
during the month, and the prospects
are bright for most enjoyable season
among the possessors of wheels.
On Tuesday evening about 20 ladies
and gentlemen went to Charlestown on
their wheels A dozen more went up
in J. HI. Blakley's steam launch, and a
few couples drove up in teams. Then
a consolidation was effected and So
Fairy Dell, Hammond's orchestra fur
nishing music. About 20 couples par
ticipated in the dance till II O'Clock,
when ice cream and cake were served
and the return home was made in the
different conveyances which carried
them up. A slight shower on the way
up stopped the cyclists at farm house
for few minutes, and gave them an
opportunity to drink all the farmers
supply of milk. The steamer party
was late on the upward trip, being
obliged to stop twice to remove the
bottom of the river from the keel of the
boat, between which there was TOO
strong an affinity. Before leaving for
Charlestown F. J. Blake photographed
the whole party near the flour pines'
in group.

The Windham County Sunday School
association will hold their convention
at Newfane, June %, in the Congrega-
tional church. The exercises will be-
gin at 10 O'Clock a. M, thus allowing
plenty of time for persons coming from
adjoining towns to get to Newfane.
The convention only has morning and
afternoon sessions, so that those who
attend can return the same day without
losing any of the exercises. The asso-
citation has been very fortunate in Sc
curing Rev. George G. Needham, the
evangelist from Mortified, Mass, who
will give an address in the afternoon
This fact, together with the program
prepared by the committee, should
tempt many to attend, and it is hoped
there will be large delegation from
every church in the county. The full
program will be published in next
week s TIMES.

One Foot Shorter.

Charles Remission of South Charles
town came in on the noon train over
the Boston and Maine railroad Monday,
and Immediately went over to North
Walpole to see a man. He was mis-
taken in the length of time the train
stops here, and when coming across the
bridge found the train had already
started. So he stopped near the Ver-
mont end of the bridge intending to
catch the train there. He waited till
the last car came along, and then at
tempted to board it, but slipped and
went under the car, the wheels of the
front truck passing over his right foot
and cutting it off near the instep He
was Immediately removed to the depot,
ard from there to DR.. Allbee's office
where the wound was dressed. In the
evening he was sent to his home in
South Charlestown. AS part of the foot
remains, he will probably be able to
walk with only slight limp. The
railroad company is in no way respon-
sible for the accident, as the train had
passed the depotan Remission had no
right to board it after it started. This
is the first accident to passenger here
for long time, as the trainmen and
depot officials are very careful, though
it is wonder that there are not acct
dents with SO many people crossing the
tracks and bridge at all hours.

LOOKING FORWARD.
Plot Matching for a Big Celebration
Here Next Year,

Although the idea of Fourth of July
celebration this year has faded from
view, an effort is already being made
to get up more elaborate program fol
next year than has even been dreamed
of before. Here is the scheme. The
State Firemen's association meets al
Bennington this year, on July 49,
They want to hold their next annual at
Bellows Falls, and the idea is to have
the meeting on July 4, combining the
firemen's parade and sports with those
gotten up by the citizens here. The
firemen alone would draw big crowd
and with liberal advertising ahead the
surrounding towns could be induced to
turn out big delegations to swell the
crowd.
That makes very good foundation to
start from. Next comes the talk about
the financial support necessary to carry
out such celebration. About $500 are
required to meet the expenses of the
firemen's meeting, and as much more
in addition for the general expenses of
the day. That $500 would include
purses for the hose contests, and all
races INDUCED in by the firemen. Aside
from these sports there would be other
races, games, ETC., for which prizes
must be offered, and a generous sum
left for fireworks. Consequently, to get
up celebration that would eclipse any
thing ever seen in this section, about
$500 must be raised in some manner.
When the subscription paper for the
celebration two years ago was passed
around many workingmen were passed
by, and but small part of those who
were willing to subscribe We're seen.
In event of the firemen coming here,
a citizen of North Walpole says he will
guarantee to raise 5000 in that village,
and perhaps more. That does not leave
such a very large sum to complete the
$500; for the first thing is to get cinch
on the association meeting here. With
such a start the rest will come easily
In a few days papers will be circu.
lated to see what amount will be
pledged to bring the firemen here, that
the committee from here may enter the
meeting at Bennington next month
with some idea of what they will really
be able to do.
While everything is visionary at pres.
ent, and we may only be able to get tbs
firemen here at best, yet we might as
well make an effort at the beginning te
hatch all the schemes at the same time
After you have thought it over a bit il
will not look like such difficult under,
taking, and with whole year to work
it up in there should be no chance fol
anything but unlimited success.

ceptionally good.

TOWN

WE SHALL CELEBRATE
Though it Will be Necessary to Go
Out of Town.

Calmly, serenely, placidly, without
drawing even one longer breath or eN-
hibiting even one whit more interest
than usual in the world at large. That
is the way our suggestions regarding
celebration here have been received. No
one seems to care whether the eagle
screams, or banks and runs around on
his hind legs with his tail draped in
mourning. The old bird is having a
tough time during these good Demo-
cratic DAYS and deserves something eX-
ira one day in the year to cheer HIM up.
However, the time has passed when a
celebration is to be thought of here and
the next best thing is to help some OF
the neighboring towns whoop things
up.
Keene is going to have hurrah time
and the prospects are that large crowd
will 90 down from here. Already a
party of cyclists is being made up to go
down on their wheels, and it is hoped
there will be at least so or 60 in line.
The luGd Is W IIldhC SeiIly SCetlo ethNs
get down there in time to participate
in the bicycle parade in the morning.
An easy run will be made so that the
ladies and new riders will have no diff
Guilty in keeping up with the crowd and
it is particularly hoped that every lady
rider will join the party.
The program of the day at Keene in
cludes bicycle parade and merchants
parade in the morning, bicycle races at
the park in the afternoon, lantern pa.
rade of bicycles in the evening followed
by band concert and display of fire
works. Some Bellows Falls riders will
enter the races and the delegation from
here will probably have an opportunity
to see one at least of their party cross
the tape in advance of his opponents.
Further particulars regarding the time
of starting, plans for the run and the
matter of entering the parade will be
given later. What is desired now is
that you make preparations to go down
with the crowd and enjoy yourselves.

Shanghai, Nov. THE British officials
here have sent an ultimatum to the
viceroy demanding a settlement of the
Chung King affair within seven days.
The British demands are that Tao Tai
Sheng be dismissed and degraded, the
Chung King to be saluted with twenty
one guns from the Taku forts and a
money indemnity is to be paid to the
owners of the Chung King. 1t these
demands are not complied with within
the specified time, reprisals upon the part
of the British feet are threatened.
|, The Chung king affair is one of the
remarkable incidents of the war between
results. On Aug. 4 last, a Tien Tsin
| dispatch announced that thirteen Jap
| anese soldiers who had been forcibly re-
| moved by the Chinese from the British
steamship Chung King, were returned
Immediately upon the viceroy, La Hung
Chang, being notified, and it was adde!!
that the viceroy apologize to the British
consul.
On Aug. Z, however. a dispatch from
| Shanghai announced the arrival there of
| the steamship Chung King, and the cap
tain of that vessel gave his version Of the
affair, which gave it u more serious as
pect. The captain said that while his
Pc Chi lie, Chinese soldiers went OH

the Japanese passengers. They found on
board that vessel sixty Japanese. mostly
women and children. ard at once began
to hunt them down. The Chinese pur-
sued the Japanese all over the vessel,
! bound them hand and foot as soon al
caught, and flung them over ON the
wharf.
Ii Hung Chang eventually, upon the
protests of the British consul. command.
ed the japanese to be returned on board

VICTIMS or DSs ERT THIRST
Hundrei s of People Have Died Att.
the Most Excrutiatinx Pain.

sAunoE| DR. of People Have Died After
the Most Excrutinting Pain.
During a march of sevcnty-miles on
one desert in the southwestern corner
OF our country, says the San Francisco
Argonaut. a party of government sur
veyors counted $50 graves along the
trail Of victims of thirst. At one point
a family of eight was buried. These
foolish people carried their water in
large demijohns. The bottles were
broken. The precious fluid was swal-
lowed by the sand.' Mother, father, and
children lay down beneath a mesquite
bush and died the most horrible of
deaths. The bodies, broken water bot
ties and dead horses were found just
as they fell. 1t is the custom in the
desert to bury all bodies and mark the
graves with crosses of stone imbedded
in the sand. The air on the desert be-
ing Intensely dry, causes rapid evap-
grafton from the body, Observation
proved that nine quarts of water daily
was needed by II man to prevent the
blood from thlckenfng and becoming
fevertsh. Each mule required twenty
gallons daily. One surveyor was with
out water for several hours. He be-
came fevcrish and light-headed. Lack
Of water for q few hours longer would
have killed him. This was in a shade
temperature Of 40 degrees, where the
air was almost absolutely dry-so dry
that fresh meat, instead Of putrefying,
simply dries up. At one place the sur
veyors found the bodies Of three pros
pectors within 100 feet of Il natural
water tank formed In the rocks. To
get to this water the poor fellows had
to climb upward twenty feet or SO.
Their strength was exhausted. They
had been too long without water. And
here. with the life=gtvins fluid Just a
few feet beyond them, they died.
Thirst on tho desert is horrible. The
victim first feels pain between the
shoulders. The tongue thickcns and
feels filed with n~eedle-points. The
eyes became painful and finally, any
movement of the body causes excru-
ciating pain. AS the blood thickens the
brain gives way, and the victim is q
raving maniac. Death soons ends the
SUFFERING.

Forgot an Important Point.

The member Of parliament for one
of the most important southern divis-
ions is possessed Of magnificent bald
head. He vas in a shaving saloon the
ather day getting shaved. When he had
finished the barber remarked: I've got
a splendid new hair estorer here. VIII
you let me try it on your head?" The
N. P. assented. with an observation
which showed that he had previous ex-
perience in the matter; IAN right, I
don't think you can do me any harm"
Thereupon. the barber, with q great
flourish. took a bottle from the stand
and with much ceremony began to
rub his customers head. After he had
been rubbing for some time he stopped
suddenly and seemed greatly agitated.
Turning to his customer he said in O
most fustered manner "You must ex-
cuse me I forgot how high you wanted
your forehead."-Modern Society.
