one, so he concluded that he would
start to manufacture one. In his part
Of the country the roads are as smooth
as concrete pavements, and John had
often pictured himself passing along
ON his silent steed, leaving the fast
horses In the rear. His cash did not
increase in proportion to his desire for
q wheel, and SO out there on the farm
In the mountainous country he went
into his fathers shop and started to
construct q racer. He worked early
and late, until he had flushed the con-
struction of the wheel, and now he Is
seen on the road trying to keep pace
with some OF the riders Of pneumatic
tired iron horses. The entire wheel,
with the exception of an old iron tire
from carriage wheel, was made by
the boy. The rear wheel was made Of
o solid piece Of oak, while the handle
bar and seat are made OF q lighter
wood.

FIRST PUBLIC CONCERTS.


Afternoon Musicals.
Public concerts owe their direct en-
couragemeut to John. Banister, who
had won fame by his playing on the
violin, and who succeeded the celebrated
Baltzar as leader of Charles lis band
of twenty.four violins. Pegs, in an en-
try in his diary for February, 1867.
tells us the court gossip of the day
show the kings viallin Bannister is
mad that the king hath q Frenchman
come to be chief of some part Of the
kings musique."
It was rumored that he was dismissed
the royal service for saying that En-
glish vielins were better than the
French, statement which wes no
doubt regarded as heretical, opposed
as it was to the prevailing court view
as to the superiority of France in all
questions Of taste, and especially with
regard to music.
Banister's concerts at the close of
the year 1879 were advertised in the
London Gazette as follows: s"These
are to give notice that at Mr.. John
Banister's house, (now called the Mu-
sick School, over against the George
Tavern in White Fryers, the present
Monday will be musick performed by
excellent masters, beginning precisely
at four of the clock in the afternoon,
and every afternoon for the future pre-
cisely at the same hour"
-Four years later on we read again:
"At the Academy In Little Lincoln's
Inn Fields will begin the first part of
the Farley of instruments, composed
by Mr.. John Banister. The ndmis-
sion was at this time as rule one
shilling; and these concerts seem to
have been held pretty regularly down
| to within short time of Banister's
death, which took place in 1910

Europe's Triple and Holy Alliances.

The present triple alliance consists
of the German empire, the Austrian
empire and the kingdom of Italy. 1t
dates from about 1883. BEFORE the pres
emit triple alliance there was one be-
tween Great Britain, Holland and
Sweden against France in 1868; o
second between Great Britain, Holland
and France against Spain in TIT; and
third between Great Britain, Russia
and Austria, in 1905, against France.
Then there was the holy alliance,
formed in 1878, between the emperor
of Russia, the emperor of Austria and
the king of Prussia, the ostensible pur-
pose of which was to govern its MEM

more mountaineer, thought when he
saw hundreds Of wheelmen riding over
the smooth roads of Frederick county,
Nd, several months ago. John is
only sixteen years old, but he thought
he would be able to ride bike. All
that was necessary was to get the
"bike," and that he made up his mind
to do.
He soon learned that wheel would
cost him anywhere from 500 to $3.50,
and that was little more than he felt
able to pay. His funds were little low.

MOUNT RAINIER.
The Grand and Impressive Peak That
Rises From Puget Sound.


Rises From Puget Sound.
The grandest single peak on the Pa
cific coast and almost the most impress
sive mountain mass within the United
States, is Mount Rainier, in the state
of Washington. The lands around it,
tract measuring thirty-six by forty
two miles, including the entire slope
and foothills OF the mountain all vir-
gin forest and unbroken wilderness,
were withdrawn from entry year
ago, and by presidential proclamation
constituted the Pacific forest reserve.
There is now demand that this forest
reserve shall be declared q national
park, and, by the same means and un-
der the same management as the yell
lowstone national park, opened up to
travel, its points Of interest made ac-
cessible by roads aud trails, hotels
built. guides, conveyances and horses
provided, the tract patrolled, and the
game protected by government troops
during the summer outing season.
Mount Rainier, or Mount Tacoma, as
it is often called, Is pyramidal peak
sloping serenely from the very beeches
OF Puget Sound to point in air 14,444
feet above the still inland sea in which
it's image is reflected. The mountain
itself is fifty-fve miles from the sounds
edge, the level forest land and the
ridged foothills serving as an admira-
bly, composed" foreground to the
magnificent white mass, the high altar
to heaven. Forests denser than any
thing the eastern mind can picture,
sombre wilderness aptly compared to
the forests of the carboniferous age.

The old motto: Where there is 2 will there is way" though now a lit tie out of fashion, perhaps, and some what exaggerated, as is tho case with notices in general, is still expressive of 6 truth.
 Writing of old times at White Sul phur Springs, Gen. Maury says there were many complaints of the fare al the hotel. The dignified proprietor used to console his guests by remark ing that they really paid nothing fo, their dinners, but only for the wonder ful sulphur water which he had discov cred.
 One day in the height of the season. when the crowd was great and the service scanty, the people in the dining room were startled by heartrending cries of "Murderl Murderl'' Steward and servants rushed to the victim, who, in answer to their eager inquiries, informed them that he could get nothing to eat, and was dying O, starvation.

is wonderful, and that they have dis posed of the objectionable freedom is evidenced by the growing scarcity of unengaged members of the profession. Most competent theatrical authorities look forward to a very prosperous sea- son, fact which speaks volumes for the general return of better times. Ali Hayman, the guardian of the Frohman theatrical interests and one of the best forecasters of a season in the profession, deems the outlook very bright. Rarely have so many elabors te combinations been preparing to take the road, and the amounts invested in them are quite large Now it is cer- tain that experienced managers would not put these heavy sums into com panies of one kind and another with out feeling sure beforehand of some substantial return. The fact that the country at large is deemed a good field at this time for the numerous com panies shortly to go out from New York is pronounced the best possible augury for those good times sighed for SD lOnp.

CULLMAN VS. ST. BERNARD'S COL LEGE.
 CULLMAN, Sept. 21.-LSpecial Corre- spondence Hast Wednesday a match game of baseball was played between the Cullmau nine and the first nine of St. Ber- nRrd's college, on the diamond of the lat ter. The game was about the best ever played on the college grounds. Heretofore the Cullman boys either seemed to take either very little interest in the game or had not quite acquired the art of profess sional ball playing. By some means or other they had picked up a few points about the game during our vacation weeks, yet they were unable to effectively touch the college pitcher. They struggled hero- ically for nine long innings, but in the end the victory was decided against them. The support of both pitchers was good, that of the college pitcher exceptionally 80. The features of the game were the fielding of Henzlmeier, Cunningham, Pickens and Wallace, and the batting of Heinzimeier, Bowling, Bocklage, F. Robert and Timpe. The Culllnan boys were simply "not h it'' from the very start of the game, as will be seen from the score. The following is a list of the players, their batting order and po- si.ions:
 College-A. Mihl, shortstop; J. Heinzl- meier, left field; W. Cunningham, right feld Fr. Robert, second base; E. Callahan, first base; R. Cloud, third base; T. Ott, center field; F. Backlage. pitcher; T. Bowling, catcher.
 Cullman-W. Jackson, third base; G. Raster, second base; B. Bauer, right field; B.. Timpe, first base G. Beyer, center field; T. Plckens, shortstop; 0. Harting, left field; r. Raster, catcher; A. Wallace, pitcher.
