on the first ballot. Geo. always was good
at talking.
j. ID. Evens died at his home, corner of
Williams and Water sts., Thursday morning,
after an illness of two weeks. He had been

death at the beginning of this attack was
not unexpected. He had expected to 90
south, but did not start soon enough. Mr..
Eyens was one of the best known and most
popular men in Shiawassee county. He
had been in the livery stable business in
Owosso for many years and during most of

freed by a Moose.

One cold January day, Mr.. Hamil-
ton, who was In the Maine woods as
foreman for numbering company,
went out prospecting for spruce. He
prudently left his rifle at the camp,
fearing he might be tempted TO break
the game laws.
While picking his way through a
Or thicket he was snddently start
led by a resounding below, and
found himself close upon bull moose.
The man lost no time in lodging be-
hind great birch.
For a moment the moose stood
still, as IL surprised, then vented his
wrath upon pile of spruce tops and
boughs that lay near, tossing them
about as IL they had been q stack OF
jackstraws. Meanwhile Mr.. Hamil-
ton climbed into the birch.
And there in the bitter cold he
was forced to stay for six long hours,
while the moose kept watch below,
quite regardless OF the cramped mus
cles and aching bones OF hin victim.
At last he moved of, and the fore
man ventured down.
Unless the game commissioners
send him a body-guard, Mr.. Hamil-
ton declares that hereafter he shall
carry his gun into the woods.

and dangerous nuisance, is not with
out its good points after all In
Brooklyn they use it to catch pick
pockets with. On Greenpoint ave.
nue. the other day fellow snatched
a lady's pocketbook and ran. The
lady screamed. A trolley car was
standing near by. The motorman
gave his lever a yank and started in
hot pursuit Of the thief, who, not
suspecting such proceeding, canter-
ed gayly down the street leaving the
woman yelling on the sidewalk. He
didn't even take the trouble to turn
into side street, and as result the
electric car overlook him within two
blocks, and while the motorman sat
on him the conductor called police
man. The pickpocket threatens to
have the street car employees prose-
cuted for running faster than the
law allows, but as he will probably
be in Sing Sing within a few days
the threat Is not taken seriously.
Meanwhile gentlemen OF larcenous
instincts are combining their opera
tions to streets upon which only horse
cars are run.

WHEN an undeveloped youngster
Of IS can ride eighteen miles In fifty
seven minutes and ten seconds-half
the distance against a strong head
wind-it is evident that the evolu-
tion of the bicycle is still In progress.
Rau's performance In the Chicago
road race shows the perfection to
which the modern wheel, with its
pneumatic tires, ball bearings and
perfect construction, has been
brought. The cyclist long ago dis
tanced the ordinary trotting horse;
he is now in close pursuit Of the
thoroughbred, and as his ambition
knows no bounds he will sooner or
later be found challenging the loco
motive to short distance contests
What the future Of the bicycle may
be 1t is unsafe to predict. Every
year 1t has been announced that the
machine has reached its highest de-
velopment, yet each succeeding year
brings forth fresh Improvements.
American skill and ingenuity are at
work, and 1t is within the bounds Of
probability that the Chicago road
race may some time be won In forty
| five minutes or even less.

There are some drawbacks to the
Isthmian cattle business that would

these is the vampire bat, says corre-
spondent of the New York Sun. One

pute say that these bats do suck hui

said to do, and while soothing the

any such case, however. nor had an
observant Englishman, @. Preedy, who
had lived twenty years In David, ever

But the vampire is the pest of the
cattlemen. He is particularly fond
OF veal blood, but older stock and
horses, colts, mules, and burros all
suffer.
did not catch vampire at his
work, though / saw hundreds of
them, but the cattlemen all tell the
same story. The vampire settles
somewhere on the back of the beast
in the pasture at night, and then,
while slowly tanning its wings to
and fro, cuts out circular piece Of
skin one-quarter of an inch in diam
eter. Through this hole he sucks the
blood till satisfied. .

be destroyed by the progeny of the

angle arms are pivotally secured to a
plate fixedly attached to the side wall
of the we'll The depending extremi-
ties Of these arms are connected by
link bars to the respective matches.
A precisely similar arrangement is
provided below, except In an inverted
order. The shorter arm extremities
are notched or recessed. Secured to
the side stile OF the cage is q short
bar, the projecting ends of which car
ry studs, into whose path the recessed
inner extremities Of the arms project.
When the cage is about to descend
the matches are closed and the studs
are about to engage in the recesses.
This must cause positive swing

a positive closing movement will be
exerted, the top of the cage mean

THE United States Supreme Court
has held that railways have the right,
in time osfuel famine, to appropriate
to their own use coal which is con-
signed to private parties, and the de-
cision is founded on an alleged public
policy. The railways are responsible
for the fuel thus used and make resti-
tuition in cash or kind. The courts
have held, and such is sensible con-
ception of law, that the interests of
many are Of more consequence than
the interests Of one man, and the
greater number are interested In the
regular arrival and departure of
trains. There are some things none
