they Should Ee Supported In Their En-
deavors For Better Highways.
The following editorial utterance of
the New York Times, in allusion to the
recent convention Of New Jersey wheel
men, will commend itself to all who IA
vor road reform:
The convention Of the New Jersey
members of the League of American
Wheelmen at Trenton had an importance
beyond that of sport. The person who
is impelied by inclination or compelled
by smallnesS of means to exercise his
lower limbs in the manner invented by
Adam is prone to regard the bicycle rider
as q hybrid, compounded of pedestrian
and horseback rider. He who takes the
air behind a horse, whether it be one
with a pedigree and a record or one with
the more prosaic attributes of service
able hack, is likely to fall into the error
Of despising the bicycler for his humble
method of progress or of disliking him
for having any rights in public high
way. The farmer undoubtedly looks up

THE PRIZE TRlPLETS.
They Have Laid Claim to Superiority Owe
the bennington Three.

They Have Laid Claim to Superiority Over
the bennington Three.
Mr.. q. Mayes writes to us from Hal
stead to call attention to the fact that
the Whitmarsh-near bennington
triplets are not the only ones which have
lived to celebrate their majority. At
Edinburgh one morning in August,
1868, the wife of Mr.. q. Mayes, watch
maker and jeweler, surprised her hus-
band by presenting him with triplets
two sons and one daughter-a feat
for which she was rewarded by duly re-
ceiving the royal bounty. When the
youngsters came of age in 1884, the
proud father commemorated the event
by having a photograph of the three
taken and sending copy to the queen,
in acknowledgment of her former kind
ness. Her majesty replied to Mr..
Mayes' letter, expressing a hope that
the triplets were we'll and prospecting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayes-the latter Of
whom was the mother of five children
in IS months-are still we'll and hearty,
and on the Sd of January they propose
celebrating their golden wedding. Mr..
Mayes tells US that the triplets all enjoy
good health. I'VE are all three mar
ried-two boys and one girl-and two
of us-mvself and sister-have children
of our own, my sister three and myself
one. We have attained our thirtieth
year, and so outstrip the case near
bennington. '-Westminster Gazette.

WHAT WE GET FOR OUR MONEY.
From Good Roads.l


on the wheelman as curiosity, escaped
from the same museum as the rowing
man, the tennis player or any other hui
man being who labors with t. body and
calls it fun.
None of these three is likely to think
of the wheelman as one who exerts an in
fuence for good IN matters Of interest to
them. Yet, if they would consider that
Of the 10000 or more bicycle riders who
assembled in Trenton there was not one
who is not an ardent advocate of good
roads, they would doubtless perceive that
in these muscular men they themselves
possess invaluable allies. It is not nee
essary to point out the desirability Of
good roads to the pedestrian, the horse
back rider or the driver. A good road
way is literally the foundation of their
pleasure. Bur possibly it may not occur
to every one that the farmers interest IN
good roads is the most serious of all.
With him it is not matter of pleasure,
but Of business.
A large part of the farmers work con-
sists of hauling. His produce must be
taken IN wagons to the railway station or
steamboat l~..tGlns Tor shipment to the
great city markets, and his empty bar
rels, boxes and crates must be pulled
back over the same road. In the state of
New Jersey, moreover, there is great
deal of hauling of fertilizers. The earth
itself contains a remarkably fine natural
manure in the shape of mari The beds
in which this mari is found are private
property and are widely scattered. The
farmers purchasei it by the load and haul
it to their land. It is heavy. and the
hauling of it soon cuts deep and almost
impossible ruts in poor roads.
Now, good road means large and
pecuniarily valuable saving to the farm
er in time and expenditure of power. 1t
means that he can haul more loads Of
produce or of fertilizer in a day with
less wear and tear of wagon and har-
ness and less exhaustion of his horses.
1t means a valuable saving of time,
which can be applied to the local labor
on the land itself. And it may mean an
hour more Of rest to the farmer, who
has quite as much labor as man can
bear.
These are considerations which users
of roads ought to take into account. The
wheelmen are body of men whose in
huence is Of large Importance, and who
ought to be encouraged and supported
in their combined movements for their
own interests, because one of the great
est of those interests is also that Of three
other large and valuable classes.

A Sad Case That Touched the Judges
Heart In the Christmas Season.

A Sad Case That Touched the Judges
| Heart In the Christmas Season.
/ When the dispossess case of Jacob
Korn against David Samkin was called
in the Fifth judicial district court yes
terday morning, a girl 10 years old,
with torn shawl about her head and
shoulders, advanced tremblingly to the
rail and handed a letter to Justice
Goldfogle.
She represented Sa1nkin, the tenant,
who owed Korn for the rent of three
! rooms on the second floor Of the tene-
i ent at 80 Attorney street. This is the
letter:
Judge Goldfogold:
Please EXCUSE me bacause l came my father
y! Is sick and he is laying in bed my mother got
born little baby it is 2 weeks and she does not
feel well. And she can't come to the tril. We
have nothing to eat and nothing to burn and
SO we can't pay no rend. My father has no
work for or months. We are for children,
am 10 years on the II; my sister is years
On the 6 and my brother is years and my lit
| dc sister is 2 weeks. We children we beg you
| End please take care of us and not mock US out
N the street my father tries for us very much
and he can't help us because it is bad time now
because he can't pay the rend and can't give us
to eat he is sick.
The girl wept copiously while JUS
| tice Goldfogle struggled with this COM
munlcatlOn, but when he questioned
her she answered with keen intelli-
gence. She was sure she had written
the letter herself and explained that her
parents formerly lived in Cherry street,
and that she knew the location Of the
court because she used to pass it daily
on her way to school.
Justice Goldfogle turned to Agent
Boltz, who represented Landlord Korn,
and suggested that as the case was
very distressing one Mr.. Korn could
find no better opportunity for the exer-
else of leniency.
You may see from this letter. the
justice said, chow pitiable the plight of
this family is. The girl says they have
neither food nor fuel, that her mother
and father are i'll and helpless and have
no means of sustenance. 1t is the
Christmas season, too, and there could
be no better time for the exercise of
charity. 1t seems to me that Mr.. Korn
might -
The agent held up both hands in pro-
test against the supposition that Mr..
Korn might do anything of the kind.
Il am only the agent, he said, land
[ am doing no more than my duty.
They have not paid the rent. / can
not helnit.''
The justice looked at the child who
had come through the storm to plead
for few days more under the roof
where there was neither food nor fire.
$50 home" he said, land tell your
mother she may have until Wednesday
night to pay the rent
The girl was gone in an instant.
eff it is the last thing 1 do on earth,"
Justice Goldfogle continued, "I'll see to
it that this family has a Christmas
dinner"
The agent was keenly affected by the
girls story and offered no opposition to
the decision.-New York Herald.

end to the stoppage of the Dardanelles
