has received. In China Lenz narrowly
escaped death at the hands of supersti-
tious natives ON several occasions. At
Mioweichow, ear the hostile province
Of Human, Lenz was attacked by q
crowd Of farmers, who struck at him
with hoes and carrying poles. A blow
aimed for the plucky riders head missed
that part of his anatomy, but carried
away part Of his ear. Better disposed
citizens then interfered, and Lenz es-
capped death.
Lenz was the champion of the Allie
ghany cyclers Of Pittsburg and had
ridden from Pittsburg to New York
and taken other long trips awheel before
he started on his globe girdling tour.
He carried q camera ON his back and
rode a safety wheel weighing 81 pounds.
If he turns up all right, he will have
ridden about 90, 900 miles on his wheel.

EVERY HOME SHOULD OWN ADyNAMo

Then Housewives Could MagnetIze Ham,
mers and Make Tack Driving Easy.
There is an easy way TO render the
ordinary tack hammer an article that
may be used with comfort and to do
away with all danger of bruised fingers
from its misdirected blows. A little
electricity will do the trick. The process
is So simple that it should be universal
~ adopted
All that is required is access to q
dynamo Then lay the head of the ham
mer ON the framework and leave it
there for about five minutes. This needs
no strength, but the hammer cannot be
detached without the knowledge that
some force holds it fast to the ironwork,
and herein lies the secret. BY contact
with the dynamo your hammer has been
magnetized and will pick up bits OF
iron or steel that are not too heavy for
its strength.
Tacks and small nails, too short to be
held in the fingers when driving, may
be easily placed in position for the ham
mer blows without using the finger on
thumbs and much speedier work ac-
complished. In retacking torn shades
the man Of the house will at once ap-
preciate the blessing Of a magnetized
hammer, since he can pick the tiny
tacks from the box direct with his mag
net, press them into the roller with the
same tool and by n blow drive the
elusive fasteners home.

ON the actors condition, which finds ltd
expression is his playing land possibly
ON his organisation. He sup
plies the house and in most cases fur
nishes quarters for the actors such as nc

in the auditorium a soft carpet covers

rarely exists, on. if by chance there be
something which once was a carpet, 1t
is SO dirty that it would be better away.
The washing appliances of the actors
room, il they are found at all, usually
consist Of a small basin with a tap OF
running water. Most people would ex-
pect that, as the winter is the theatrical
season and the paints used by the &C.
tors are made with grease, hot water
would be at hand. But this is rarely
the case, and in many instances running
water in the dressing rooms is unknown.
1t is not uncommon for actors to refrain
from using the basins, preferring to re-
move the makeup as we'll as possible

Pennsylvania, and ON the death of the
latter the next year was chosen as his
successor.
The public mind was somewhat excited
In January, 1890, by an attempt to as
sassinate Bishop Whitaker during an
evening confirmation service in St.
Johns church, Philadelphia. Rev. Dr.
George Latimer was reading the Psalter
and Bishop Whitaker was standing by
the communion table when q Lad OF 90
years, David Alexander, in the third
pew from the front, aimed o pistol at the
bishop and fired. He was instantly dis
armed and taken ont, and beyond O
scream from o lady there was no con-
fusion. Bishop Whitaker proceeded with
the service without a pause, and till 1t
was concluded did not know he had
een-shot at. Alexander was a mono
maniac ON prohibition and thought the
bishop should be killed because he had
advocated > license law.

sbolition of the free zone. The
opinion is that it admits of regula

it means the ruinatioA of the Mex

TO EXPEDITE JUSTICE ON
THE BORDER.

Washington, June 15.-Repre-
sentative Paschal Of Texas has on
foot a scheme which he hopes will
result in material benefit to the PEG
pie on this Texas border. The de
lay which attends court procedure
and trial in the border country, is
already we'll known evil, and ow
ing to international practices the
prosecution OF criminals gnilty on
one side o. the boundary who es
cape to the other can not he much
expedited. In consulting, however,
with Mexican Minister Romero,
and Secretary of State Gresham, Re
preventative Pafchal has presented
to them various complaints over de
layed justice and the almost impos
sibility of brining petty offenders
to trial.
Mr.. Paschal expects to petition
the Mexican government throug"
Secretary Gresham and Minister
Romero for the Issuance of instruc
tions to Judges and court officers
along the Mexican border to expe
dite in every way possible the pun
ishment of international criminals.
He hopes that such court instruc
tions, sent for the Central Mexican
government, when met by like in
structions to the Texas court, will
result in the expedition of much of
the criminal practice of the border.
