PRIESTS Mar RIDE BICYCLES.


Rome VIII Not Frown Upon Them as
Long AS Their Department Is Proper.
New York World Special.
WASHINGTON, Feb. CDR. Rocker,
private secretary to Mgr. Satolli, said to
The World correspondent tonight: 4
do not think the Holy See has intended
to take any action against the use of bicy-
cles by priests. The matter was brought
up in Hungarian diocese and taken to
Rome for decision. 1t was decided that
the subject was local. But it was thought
that it would De best for the priests con-
cerned to refrain from riding any more
than was absolutely necessary.
The reason for this, DIR. Rocker said,
was the peculiar costume which priests
in Europe wear. $50 long as bicycles
are used within the proper limits" he
said, "thcy will not be frowned down
upon, Ii II priest is unwisc in this
matter it is the province of any local
church officials to sec that he correc.s
his department"

Gilpin Avenue Quite IA Mecca for Speeders
of Fast Horses This Winter.

Gilpin avenue has succeeded French
street this winter us Il mecca for drivers
of fast horses. Every day that there has
been any good sloighing this pretty
thnroughfare has been the scene of some
lively racing. Sunday week was probably
the greatest day for the sportths winter,
and not only were the owners and
drivers of the animals pleased but
hundreds of spectators were very much
entertained also.
Gilpin avenue has recently been nicely
graded and leveled off by the Street and
Sewer Department, and now it quite an
ideal city street, particularly for driving
1t is wide and straight and for the most
part has very little grade, so that to ride
over it is quite pleasure. II does not
tire horseilesh, either, to draw vehicle
over the even surface.
In past years it will be remembered
French street was the best place in the
city for racing in winter and whenever
there was enough snow on the ground
every sleigh owner who could scare up a
horse would HE himself 10 that wide
thOroughfare, and there he would find
all his friends and he would have no
trouble at all in having a brush with
some OF the best horsefesh in the city.
The devoteas Of the sport welcome the
change, as OF late years there has been SO
much business on French street and so
many teams crossing at intersections
that fast driving there has become very
dangerous.

DELAWARE HAS TO CHOOSE A FLoWER


America Makes the Request.
Mrs. Elizabeth C.. Churchman of Clay
mont. Del, has been appointed chairman
Cor this State Of the National Floral I'm
blem Society of America. The purposes
OF the society, which is an outcome of the
Worlds FAIR, are to gain early legislative
action in each State OF the Union upon
the proposition Of choosing q certain
flower as the representative floral emblem
OF the state, this choice to be approved by
legislative enactment.
The manner of ascertainiug the choice is
first through the cooperation of all the
schools in Delaware both public and
private. Each scholar is asked 70 ascer-
tain the choice of the people at his home
ana with his own selection TO so report to
the teacher. The various teachers in New
Castle Kent and Sussex counties will be
asked to report to the county superlnten-
dents of their several counties. and these,
in turn will report to Mrs Churchman,
the chairman for Delaware.
In Wilmington the officials of toe Board
of Education will be communicated with
so that full choice can be obtained in the
public schools here. Those in charge of
parochial and private schools of the city
will be invited to take similar action, so
that the fullest opinion may be gained
with opportunity for very comprehensive
choice as to what will be Delaware's future
legalized floral emblem.
The Current Events class of the New
Century Club has already taken action and
has suggested three floral candidates from
which Il choice may be made. These are
the American laurel, the daisy, and the
trailing arbutus.
1t is desired that all the votes be in by
February I'D, Washington's birthday. The
early date is asked so that there may be
full time for arranging for the compilation
of votes and final choice and of the nresen-
tation of that selection to the members of
the Legislature for enactment at the
present session. All adult societies aud or
CARNATIONS that may be interested in a
matter Of this nature are invited to send
the vote by post to Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke
| Chnrchman, Claymont. Del.
Mrs. Churchman is specially DESTROYS
that each child in the State be personally
interested in the question of choice, SO that
| IL will be a matter of lifelong state pride
that the pupil took action and voted upon
it. As explained several of the States of the
| Union have already made their selection,
that Of the clover for the state of New
Hampshire, being the latest legalized floral

THE"DECLINE or VEyicE.Y


at New-Century Club.
The fifth Of the series of lectures on
The History of the Republic of
Venice" was given by w. Hudson
Shaw, NJ. A., in the New. Century Club
last nightweek. The topic of the evening,
"The Decline OF Venice" was grapll.
cally and rapidly portrayed. He com.
menced with short resume of con
tempcraneous history, and brief out.
line of the opinions Of various writer's
and historians in regard to the probable
epoch marking the decline of Venice,
which the lecturer said was about the
year 1903. The elemental causes of a
nations greatness, political and military
power, religion and commerce were
considered, the lives of representative
men of the century being described at
length, and their influence upon Vene.
tion history shown. The contest be-
tween the Nenetians and the Osmans
which lasted for 200 years was also
described showing how one by one
Venice lost her colonies, and her com.
mercial influence waned. The dis
coveries of Christopher Columbus and
Nassco da Cana, the latter discovering
a new route to India marking the clos,
ing days OF Venetian greatness.
Nothing can exceed the interest Of
Mr.. Shaw's narrative. The dull facts
of history burn and glow with life and
pathos under his mastery touch and
the deeds of their long.dcad actors in
iifG's drama appear to his hearers as
living realities.
Al the close Of the lecture number
of fine views showing the growth and
Generalization of architecture were
shown, that of Venice being contrasted
with the architecture Of Milan, Florence
and other cities of Italy. A largel
screen than that in use at previou!
lectures was used, the result being mos
satisfactory.
