THE MAN POINT n TIE MATTER.

The main point in the whole matter or
the restriction on bicycles is involved IN
the question as TO whether a bicycle is
4 carriage or not.
The English Court OF Queens Bench. IN
the case OF Taylor against Goodwin de-
cided. an the justices c0ncurring. that IA
bicycle is "a carriage and the propulsion
or II by means Of a person sitting on and
carried by IL is a driving Of q carriage.
When the steel and rubber bicycle was
hIst imported into this country 1t was
claimed by the collector Of customs at
Boston that 1t was machine. and by the
importer that IL was carriage, a diner
ence Of u per cent. ad valOren duty Civ
ing rise 10 the dispute.
The question was referred TO the De-
partment OF Justice, and Mr. Secretary
sherman, upon an opinion OF the Attor-
ney-General In the autumn Of lbI7, de-
cided IL was q carriage and SO II has
been considered ia every court and every
market IN this country without question
since
il Is clear, therefore, that bicyclers
have n right TO uge the streets with their
bicycles. subject 20 the same restrictions
ana regulations. and under the same gen
eral principles OF law az are applicable
10 other carriages.
Tie question which concerns Richmond
wheelmen, however, Is q Threatened eN-
pulsion Of bicycles from the public parks.
This Is also "a point In law that has not
been left 70 lie In 0bscu1ty, but has
also been brought 20 light by enter
prislng COuncilmen, who thought they had
discovered a menace 20 public welfare

TIE Ways ~ PAINS AnE srRErrs

"The ways In parks are OF the nature OF
highways-at least, 70 the extent that IS
consistent with their respective uses and
appropriations. The foot paths are high
ways for pedestrians; the carriage ways
are highways for pleasure carriages, al
least. They are streets. and the circum-
stance Of their being within the limits
Of park or public square does not
alter the effect"
Very few accidents have occurred from
bicycles IN Richmond, but enough have
occurred to indicate that there is careless
riding. and an ordinance that would re-
strict fast and reckless riding in crowded
tborOugAfarcS would have a salutary
eject, AMI meet every necessity Of the
case.
The bicycle Is. 70 say the least, q new
way OF going. and many Of those who
adhere TO older ways Will feel aggravated
that the new way IS permitted, but re-
straints should not be put on an enter
prise or an invention simply because II
is unlike what we are accustomed 70.

Of fundamental rights Of the citizen.
While the tyranny OF the American syS-
tenn OF government very largely consists
IN the action OF the municipal authorities,
this right has not yet been questioned
or attempted to be abridged. There can
be no question, then, that Il citizen riding
on a bicycle in that part OF street de-
voted 20 the passage Of vehicles. Is but
exercising his legal right to its use, and

Chicago. Jan. 26.-George H. Painter
was executed at S:O4 o'clock this morn
ing for the murder of Alice G.. Martin.
The execution was horribly bunglsd-
At the first attempt the rope broke and
then the victim was carried back limp.
Another rope was secured and he was
strung up again.
Painter was a gambler and murdered
his mistress. He was a thorough be-
lever in hypnotism and made the
peculiar request that he be hypnotized.
in which case he claimed he could be
compelled to repeat his actions on the
night of the murder. The request was
refused by the court. Strenuous efforts
were made in his behalf and he was
twice reprieved on affidavits tending
to fix the crime on a man named Dick
Edwards, a desperate bearing some
resemblance to Painter, and now under
sentence in Texas for the numbering
of another woman.
Last night, however, Governor Alt
geld declined further to interfere with
the course of justice.
On the gallows Painter called on God
to cast him into everlasting flames If
he was guilty of murder and asked if
there was any true American present
to hunt down the girls murderer.

Bismarck back to Friedrichsruhe left

William accompanied the ex-chancellor
to the railroad station and they were
escorted from the palace TO the depot
by strong detachment Of cuirassiers
and by all the members of the general
staff, as well as by a number OF gen
erals.
At Lehrte station the emperor warmly
shook Bismarck's hand at the door OF
the carriage to convey him back home
The same scenes OF enthusiasm upon
the part of the populace witnessed
during the passage of Bismarck from
the railroad station to the palace upon
his arrival here were repeated during
the passage of the prince and emperor
from the palace back to the railroad
station. Upon parting with Bismarck,
the emperor repeatedly kissed the vet
eran upon both cheeks, and after the
latter had entered the railroad car
lriage, the emperor turned to Count Her
bert Won Bismarck and addressed a
few words to him, the first in a very
long while. The emperor then resumed
! his conversation with the prince, who
leaned out of the carriage window,
bare headed, in order to converse with
his majesty. This exhibition of good
feeling called forth loud cheers from
the persons assembled in the depot and
then the whole assemblage Joined in
singing ''Deutsche Ueber Alles.'
| As the train drew out of the depot,
| there was a perfect storm of ''Hochs, .
to which applause Bismarck smiled and
bowed.
| Count Herbert and Count William
| Won Bismarck and DR.. Schweniger ac-
lcompanied the prince back to Fried

were placed in the princes carriage be
fore it drew out of the depot.
The emperor was loudly cheered upon
his leaving the station and on his way
back to the palace.
