Bicycle Trousers.
the Cincinnati Times Star.

| From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
A reporter, after hard work, sue
ceeded In finding young lady who
not only is a bicycle enthusiast,
but Is willing to express her views
on the subject dwell, trousers
for her sex, not as a huge joke, but
from common sense standpoint.
"Man is the greatest enemy of
the woman bicyclist," she said.
"The girls love to ride, and there
is not a girl of my acquaintance
who has not at some time or other
attempted to ride my wheel. They
were all delighted, but still they
were afraid to go out in the street
where anyone could see them, for
the simple reason they are in fear
of being made fun of. A
girl who rides wheel is the OBJ
jective point for a hundred mems
eyes. / don't say any man would
have less respect for girl who
rides a bicycle, but they always
manage to make the rider feel any
thing but comfortable. But some
of us don't mind the men, and ev-
cry year the number of woman BIZ
cyclists is growing"
"How about the ladies adopting
the trousers for riding?"
"That is hard question to an
swer. The papers Of late have been
telling of the Paris woman's inter-
esting costumes. From the pictures
l should judge they turned out in
regular comic opera suits. You will
never find an American girl riding
bicycle inrone of those alleged
Paris outfits. The women are
satisfied with their skirts. 1t
is true that the long skirts are aw-
fully inconvenient for bicycle rid
ing and that we are looking around
for something better, but as for
adopting mems trousers, it will
not come about for many years at
least. 1t is hard enough to get
a refined young lady on bicycle,
let alone asking her to don male
attire. A short skirt will, l think,
be worn soon by some Of the girls.
Pretty leather leggings will, Of
course, be part of the costume.
This would make an excellent rid
ing costume, and the riders would
not be making a show of them
selves, either. The reports of the
women adopting trousers is moth
ing but a huge joke.

A Schoolmarms' Romantic Marriage
Boston Advertiser.
Mrs. Frances Beecher, who keeps
school for girls on the post road
midway between Greenwich and
Stamford, was married yesterday
in the presence Of her pupils to
Frederick Perkins, Of San Fran
cisco.
1t was a surprise, indeed, to the
young folks, and was not altogeth-
er expected by Mrs. Beecher her.
self. Mr.. Perkins is a stranger now
to a generation that have grown up
since he turned his face toward the
Pacific Coast, and Mrs. Beecher has
been compelled to tell and re-tell
performance.
Frederick Perkins,of Hartford, a
son of Charles Perkins, one Of the
most famous lawyers Of Connecti-
cut, and Miss Frances johnson, OF
Guilford, were bethrothed thirty.
five years ago, but there was a
quarrel and Miss Johnson was
married to the Rev. Edward
Beecher. Mr.. Perkins also married
and went to San Francisco, where
he became the librarian of the pub
lie library.
Like all the members of the
Beecher family, Edward was patri-
otto, and went to the war as a
Captain of a New York regiment
of colored troops. When III. w.
Beecher raised the stars and
stripes at Fort Sumter, Col. Beech
er was in charge OF the SOL
diers stationed in Charles
ton. Colonel Beecher re-
turned to his home broken in
health and, though preaching for a
time, was finally compelled to
abandon all work.
The family then moved to the
old house on the post road and Mr..
Beecher opened a young ladies'
seminary. About five years ago,
while witnessing target shooting
at Elmira, Col. Beecher suddenly
seized a rifle and fatally shot him
self. Mr.. Perkins, who had lost
his wife soon after reaching Cali
fornia, wrote Mrs. Beecher letter
of sympathy. 1t was the first time
there had been any communica-
ton between them. She replied,
and a correspondence between the
lovers of former years was begun.
The end has already been told.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Pavilion.


Esmeralda was given it's initial per-
Torrance at the Pavilion at Peaks ISL
and by the McCallum Company, and
proved an unusually strong piece, and
one which is likely to draw packed
houses.
1t abounds with quaint humor and has
many strong dramatic situations The
play describes the desire OF an old fami-
ly living on their farm in North Caro-
lima to becomesrich and visit Paris. By
the discovery of iron ore on the farm
their wish is gratified. In leaving the
old home the daughter leaves behind
her sweetheart, whom her mother OBJ
jects to her marrying on account of his
being poor, but who, as the story pro-
ceeds, becomes suddenly wealthy by the
discovery of iron ore on his farm. The
family returns to North Carolina, and
all ends happily The cast is large one,
and gives every member of the company
an opportunity to do clever character
work. Mr.. McCallum. as old man Rog-
ers, Miss Staley, who is taking Miss
Halls place. until she is able to appear
as Esmeralda, Mr.. Pascoe as Dave, all
do exceedingly clever work. The other
members are all good Esmeralda will
no doubt do big business this week.

A Social Event in the Harbor

Ex-Commodore Charles f. Morrill, of South
Boston Yacht club, who has been in the
harbor with his fine yacht Nayarch with a
party of friends since Saturday, returned to
Boston last night. While here Mr., Morrill,
and his wife were the guests of Mr.. T. H
Woodman of Woodman- Cook company, who
entertained them Sunday at the Merry
coneag at Harpswen The party consisted
of the following ladies and gentlemen: Ex-
Commodore Charles f. Morrill, and wife,
Vice Commodore George E. Morrill,, Mr.. W.
W. LIE Sour, Mr.. S. A. Davis, Miss Frost,
Miss Reese of Boston. Miss Flynn of New
York, Mr.. f. II. Woodman and wife, Mr..
John Howard Hill and wife, Mr.. f. E. Ran
dali, Miss Randall, Miss Nellie Shaw, Mr..
Harry F. Libby of Portland. Mr.. W. W.
LIE Seur in behalf of Mr.. Woodman, pre-
sented Commodore Morrill, with fine water
pitcher and salver, handsomely engraved
"Navarch," in neat speech, which was
ably responded to by the Commodore. The
entire larty had a most enjoyable outing
and regretted very much that Mr.. Morrill,
could remain no longer being obliged to re-
turn to Boston on urgent business.
1t is to be hoped that the Jolly Commo-
dore," and his most estimable wife will be
frequent visitors in our harbor with their
beautiful yacht.

RlGBY PARK.
Entrance Rates To Be Raised-The Reason
Why,

When Allen Lowe said Cracks have got
to live, TO make it possible for horsemen to
run, and no body of men are game enough
to take loss every time they open their
gates, and then go back for the same medi-
cine, he hit the nail right on the head, and
correctly described the situation at Rig -
said H. f. Farnham one of the directors of
the Maine Mile Track association yester-
day. 1.-The August horse fair will be at the
old per cent rate for entries, but after
that the 10 per cent rate will be demanded
at Rigby.
Our experience in running two July
meets, has convinced us that there must be
an increase. We have found that we can
hang upssS500 on purses, and then only COM
mand very small local patronage. We do
not believe that a trotting association can
live in Maine on five per cent entry fee."
Il have always advocated five per cent
entry fee," said Secretary j. F. Barrett -
but we are done with that, OF rather shall
be after the advertised horse fair in August.
After that the rate at Rigby will be 10 per
cent, and I believe that better class of
horses can be got at 10 per cent than at the
lower figure, anyway the August meet will
be the last at Rigby at five per cent. The
State Fair may make money at five per
cent entry fee, but distinctively trotting
association can not do it. We have all got
to come to it, and to advance the rate from
five to ten per cent for entries. l was talk
ing with A. R. Bates, who runs the track at
Fairfield, eand he is of the same opinion. As
Mr.. Farnham says there is too small a local
patronage to justify theslower rate.''

THE BABY REVIVED.
Good Cause for Excitement Yesterday in
the Family of Edward Cook-The Baby
Fell Into the Bay and Nearly Drowned.

There was much excitement yesterday
forenoon in the family of Mr.. Edward
Cook, who lives at the foot of Everett
street. Mr.. Cook has three boys, the
Oldest about three and nne-half years,
and the youngest about IS months, with
a little o-year-and-a-h alf-old in be-
tween.
Yesterday morning, the youngest, or
the baby, and the next of age, started to
follow some older children down Ander-
son street along the extension where Il
I'LL is being made in Back Bay. In some
way the baby fell off the EN- bankment,
into the water. The little two-year and
a-half-old boy, too small to effect res
cue, did the next best thing and ran hast
lily back to his mother, crying that the
baby had fallen into the water. The
mother. half distracted with grief, ran
to the water, followed by several other
women, among whom was Miss Julia
burke of Anderson street. When they
arrived at the spot the baby had sunk
for the last time, and was lying on the
bottom, among the eel grass. The COM
pany discovered it almost Immediately,
the water being about five feet deep.
Miss Burke at once plunged in, and by
wading and diving M managed to grasp the
child.
When the lite boy was brought out of
the water he had apparently ceased to
breathe. But he was rolled over barrel
and physician was sent for. Under the
direction of DR.. O'Neil, who soon ar
rived, systematic efforts at resuscitation
were made, and after an hour or more
succeeded. Last evening the little fell
low was comforta BILE, and will probably
be around all right soon.

Phantom was making her first trip to the
city, the fog was SO dense that it was i'm
possible to see more than few rods in adj

way along with great caution and the
steamer was kept moving very slowly. AL

steamer was on the re cks near Mackworth's
island. There was great alarm among the
passengers, and the GOODNESS of the officers
of the boat alone prevented panic. The
Phantom gave signals of distress and the
Madeleine soon made her appearance. A
hawser was thrown to the Madeleine, and
after some little exertion the Phantom was
pulled off the rocks and then proceeded to
the city. The Phantom was not greatly
damaged,
