TSpecial Letter.1


The success of the journalistic enter
prise that led to the equipment of
Stanley's trip to Central Africa, and
the popularity of Keenan's travels in
Siberia in the interests of the Century
Magazine has given rise TO another
similar expedition which has already
become famous as the world-girdling
bicycle trip of Mr.. T. G. LEM, of Pitts
burgh, in the interests of the Outing
Magazine.
Mr.. LEM set out from City Hall park,
New York, little more than year
ago His passage across the continent
and over the Pacific was scarcely diff
ferent from that of numerous other
tourists, and even in Japan his expert
ences, though pleasant and picturesque
in the telling, were not especially ads
venturesome. The japanese are at
worst a friendly people, and at best
their culture and artistic sense proved
equal, to say the least, to that of rep
resentative American cycling fend.
Some of the excellent photographs
which show Mr.. LEM in bicycle cos
tune among the daintily dressed ma
tives leave one in considerable doubt
as to which are the semi-civilized
and which the civilized individuals.
Throughout Japan, and even in the
coast districts of China, the American
wheelman, astride of his novel two
wheeled machine, was an object of
dread and aversion, which he sets
down to the score of superstition, but
which the lover of things cultivated
and oriental is tempted to attribute to
q different sentiment.
The advance sheets of the April issue
bring him among the pagodas of
China. From the eastern coast he fol-
lowed the grand canal to Chinkiang and
then pushed westward along the
Yangsti river valley through Burmah,
making occasional detours to interest
ing spots. His experiences with the
natives as he journeyed along the val
ley become more in the nature of ad-
ventures. The difference between the
treatment Mr.. LEM received from the
japanese and the inland Chinese is
about the difference between the
treatment of camera fend in polite

OLD PRISON LOCK.
A Rusty Relic of the Famous Newgate
Prison Now in England. :

A Rusty Relic of the Famous Newgate
Prison Now in England. :
The famous old Newgate prison is
still in England, but we have part of
it-though a small One-on this side of
the briny creek. The rusty old lock
now rests in a secondhand lumber
yard; opposite the Kings county Jail,
in Raymond street, Brooklyn.
This lumber yard, by the way, is
veritable "Old Curiosity Shop" Its
proprietors buy and tear down dilapi-
dated buildings, reselling the refuse
for whatever it will bring. Old books,
broken chairs, showcases, shelves,
safes, weighing scales, coffee-grinders,
gas fixtures, desks, tables, tin roofing,
mirrors-almost everything that any
body wants to sell-are bought and re.
sold at enormous profit.
The completion of the Newgate
prison was in 1882. In 1850, while yet
in it's embryo state, it was fred by the
Gordon rioters. Small damage was

must stop at Trinidad to coal. Now on
April 10 Admiral Benham passes his
62d anniversary, for he was born on
Staten Island on that date in 1882.
That is the statute time of retirement.
The question thus arises: Does he
continue as commander in chief of the
ship and will he, when he reaches
Nicaragua, continue to exercise COM
mand? Or will he surrender his au.
thority to another and become a mere
passenger on an American nan-of-war?
The law officers say there is no room
for questioning on the point. They
say it is not the first time such queries
have been made, and there are de-
cisions on the subject to convince those
who are disposed to argue. An officer
retires when his 62d birthday arrives,
be he in port or at sea. The govern:
ment is bound to bring a retired officer
home, and that is what is being done
with Admiral Benham, although he!
need not be brought back until after
he is placed on the retired list, If he
should reach Nicaragua and find the
situation there one requiring Ameri-
can intelligence and courage, he must
remain an onlooker if the date is April
II. He must be content to give advice
if the then commander is willing to
have his counsel, but he can exercise
no authority and play no part in the
performance of the naval force. He
will be a retired officer of the navy
from April 10, say the legal authori-
ties.

done to anything but the woodwork,
of which there was little. The prison
is 112 years old, and the lock is as old
as the prison.
Messrs. Cottrell & Son secured the
lock when they bought the fixtures of
the famous old inn, THE Abbey"
which stands on Fulton street, in the
business part of BroolGyn's crowded
shopping district The lease of the
Abbey was just expiring when its late
proprietor. Mr.. Sherlock, died.
Mr.. Sherlock received the lock di-
rect from England and with it the
key. Both are gigantic. The lock is
about foot and half high, one foot
across and six inches thick. Its clasp
s a curved iron bar, nine inches IN
circumference. The key is heavy and
of intricate design. ....--

hastily dismounted, thinking he was
seriously injured, or killed outright.
He struggled to his feet and instantly
motioned me to ride on, being far more
anxious to see the strange wheel run
than about his own hurts. After the
old boy had seen me ride, we grinned
farewells.
Farther on a woman and a small
boy were thrown off donkeys in the
same way; but Chinese wear so many
layers of wadded clothing in cool
weather that they are seldom hurt by
fall"
He relates another interesting incl
dent: "Once when l was silently APP

called out to him. Poor fellow! he no

full life in his humdrum country. He

slowly turned his head to see who
called to him so loudly, then made one
grand jump to get out of the way. His
feet slipped, and with a terrible yell he
rolled over the bank and into the
canal, up to his waist. Two baskets of
bean bread which he carried on pole,
followed him into the water. Some
way or other, | thought it more pru-
dent to wheel on without lingering to
offer sympathy"
Lenz's adventures at the Chinese
inns were always spicy and oftentimes
exciting. I'm one instance at small
village near Likiang the usual noisy
crowd followed me into the inn. The
good-hearted innkeeper besOught me
to stroll up and down the st,eet, in

when l rolled myself up in my
