vocating extremes that would be more
appropriate for an opera bouffe queen
than for n sensible woman who whished
to take her exercise in sensible man
ner.
The underlying principles of correct
dress for the wheel are comfort and ap-
propriateness. The carrying out of
these principles need in no sense con-
tlict with good taste or merge into con-
spicuousness.
There is perfect freedom in skirt,
provided the SIX ,rt is made as it should
be.
The woman who rides is obliged not
only to dress with due regard to her
appearance when mounted, but also
should exercise the same care in re-
gard to an attractive and inconspicu-
Gus appearance when she dismounts at
the door of her friends house, the
store, or to enter hotel, or wherever
her faithful wheel may take her, on
business or pleasure bound.
The fundamental principal of com
fort for a wheelwoman lies in the un-
derwear. Corsets should never be worn
under any circumstances. Neither is
1t desirable to ride without any sup
port for the body, especially If the
rider is inclined to stoutness. An
equipoise waist from which the bones
have been removed is the best substi-
tute for the corset, as then the mus
cles are allowed to have full play, and
are not CONSTRUCTED in any way. Union
underwear is now so universally worn
that it would seem almost unnecessary
to recommend it; but upon the wheel
1T becomes almost a necessity, doing
away with much unpleasant thick
ness around the hips.
A pair of full Turkish trousers, made
of black India silk, will be found an
admirable substitute for the petticoat
If preferred, equestrian tights are
also extremely comfortable. Leggings
are stiff and uncomfortable adiuncts,
and are not necessary. They interfere
with the 'anlle motion" which should
be cultivated by every woman who
wishes to ride gracefully.
For summer wear, low shoes and
ankles covered with smooth black
stockings are the most comfortable.
The form of the skirt is by far the
most important part of the wheel
woman's attire. 1t should flare from
the hips, so as not to hoop" around the
ankles or bind across the knees.
The skirt should clear the ground
about four inches, and be lined with
silk or satin to prevent clinging. An
Eton jacket or habit waist, as one pre-
fers, makes natty and feminine
adjunct to the skirt. This can be ex.
changed on warm days for the ever.
popular shirt waist of cambric or silk.
Given wheel properly adjusted for
her height and weight and a few gen
eral directions in regard to dress, any
woman with ordinary intelligence and
taste may rest assured that in riding a
cycle she is doing nothing which de
tracts from her dignity or personal ap-
pcarance, but on the contrary, she can,
by exercising her good taste and never
losing sight of the principle of appro-
priateness, soon find herself in the
full enjoyment of pastime not only
unsurpassed for its ife-giving quail
ties, but which will prove itself to be
vcritable fountain of beauty.-Har.

WHY THE PEOPLE OF ELLIS
WORTH WALK IN THE DARK.
OWN PLANT-THE ELECTRIC LIGHT
COMPANY'S PROPOSITION.

of he refusal of the city fathers to make
contract wit h the Ellsworth h electric illum-
mating company, at the company 5 terms
A review of the present situation will
not be out of place
In March, 1889, the city made Il contract
for lighting the streets of the city by arc
lights, at a cost of $50 per annum. The
electric lighting company then in husi-
ness failed and in May, 1891, the present
company made contract with The city at
80 per light.
This price held until April of this year,
when the company, claiming it was not
making profit in furnishing light at
hat figure, notified the city fathers that
unless a new contract was made the lights
would be cut off The contract was not
made, and the city is without lights.
The price first asked by the company
vas IS light, per year for the twenty
loo candle power lights, and Sl20 per
annum for lighting Hancock hall. This
price Vas considered too high, and a com
mittee consisting of Aldermen Maddocls,
Elaridge and Means was appointed to as
certain he probable cost of an electric
light plant to be run by the city.
This committee reported at the june
meeting of the board of aldermen that
they had found by Investigation that an
electric light plant to run thirty 1,200
caadie-poWer arc lights for street ligbts
and furnish lights for Hancock hall on
