A Great Bicyelins Reform.

All possible objection to the use of the BIZ
cycle by women has now been met by very
ingenious invention that promises to enrich
it's patentee. One of the most serious obsta-
cles to the riding of the wheel by the wearers
of skrts-or even bloomers-was that the
mounting was SO difficult and uncertain that
the fair rider did not have time to make her
adieux to friends on the curb or to attend to
little details of toilet necessary to complete
enjoyment of the ride. But now she can
mount her wheel, equipped with one of these
latest machines, get her garb we'll and dis
creetly arranged. shift her gum to the most
favorable position for a comfortable chew,
say goodbye to half a dozen friends, if need
be- and be perfectly secure the while; as safe
as though she were standing with one foot
on the step of a street car and the other on
the ground. attending to these small prelimi-
naries after the usual fashion. There is
great future for a device such as this, which
will enable the rider to make the start with
the proper amount of feminine procrastina-
ton that bicycling has heretofore taken
from her.

Moving Toward NO Ltccn.e,

moving Toward NO License"
The Tammany democratic leaders in New
York city undoubtedly favor the elimina-
tion from the statute books of all laws
which control or purport to control the
sale Of intoxicants on Sunday; they are
practically pledged to wiGe-cpen saloons
seven days q week. The ultimate effect Of
such 4 campaign ought to be clearly Wis
fble even to those who are neither prophets
Eor SONS of prophets: the next logical step
would be the abolition of license. There
fore 1t would seem to be unwise for those
who are interested in the continued legal
existence of saloons to agitate for more
than they now have. In every community
In the land there Is strong working
element, whose persistent aim is the pro-
curement of total abstinence, and that, of
course means disbursement of the liquor
business. large majority of these crll-
saders against strong drink believe that
anything like marked success will not
come to their cau,e until the partnership
between the government and the saloon
keeper has been dissolved tina. so long as
the saloon contributes directly to the sup
port of the government, the government
must. as matter of equity, afford to the
saloon countenance and protection such as
the saloon could not possibly secure were
there no business relations such as now
exist for revenue only. Agitation of the
proposition to have continuously-o
saloons may not. therefore. be strenuously
opposed by prominent temperance advo-
Gates who are far-sighted enough to see
that the log ical sequence of the movement
would be decidedly adverse to the interests

ca. There is danger. too. that some Of the
creatures might move over into Mexico and
Canada, and sojourn there until the excite
ment had passed over, even as certain
human refugees do at this present time
Yet the hope is not altogether faint that
the modern st. Patrick may soon discover
himself Prof. Fraser-habitat unmentioned
is now being quoted extensively in the
medical and scientific journals as having
devised a system Of treating snake-bites by
what he calls unlimited serum" In
short. he has adopted the now well-estab-
lished principle that the poison can be
made to work it's own cure, and has pro-
duced a commodity, that, it is claimed, can
be safely used, and that will prevent fatal
results from the bite of venomous reptiles
If this method should prove q success there
is every reason why Prof. Fraser might
hope eventually to succeed to the degree of
extreme popularity that followed the cele-
brated achievement of st. Patrick in the
snake-conquering line. 1t is field worthy
OF ambitious efforts.

Receipts Exceed Expendtture..

1t Is altogether pleasant to note that
business conditions have SO improved that
the government is beginning to take in
more money than 1t is paying out, and that
a steadily growing surplus may reason
ably be looked for. The surplus will not,
however, be reality for some time to
come, for there exists deficit which will
swallow up all of the surplus likely to
make an appearance for some months to
come Every American. no matter what
his political predictions, will be glad to
know that the tide has probably turned
and that the Treasury Department. will
soon have at it's command money sufficient
to meet present and delayed obligations.
No man with any patriotic sentiment in
him likes to have his government finan-
cially embarrassed to such an extent that
it puts off until the last moment the pay
ment of even small bills

A Modern St. Patrick,

There are some parts of this country that
would be much more habitable if they were
only freed from the too-assiduous atten-
tions of reptiles. Snakes are not popular
factors in any community. and some other
wise desirable American residence sites have
been rendered quite unfit for marketing by
the presence of these "vcrmin." There is a
crying need for the kind Intervention of
some good-natured charmer, who, like st.
Patrick Of old, can drive the snakes away
and free the land, as that highIy-respected
adopted son of Ireland did for the Emerald
Isle. But there are two obstacles in the
way of such performance. In the first
place there are too many snakes, and in
the second place there is too much Ameri-

Lord Dunraven will hardly go so far as to
assume a monopoly of the right to challenge
for the Americas cup. If Mr.. Rose has the
yacht and the nerve. 1t Is hardly fair for the
British press to try to discourage him by
comments on "notoriety seeking" The
question arises in this connection as to what
people build racing yachts for. 1t is obvi-
ously not for pecuniary gain and avowedly
not for notcriety. There is doubtless an
obscure element of philanthropy in it some
where that only posterity will be able to ap-
preciate.

Chicago, June 23.-Private Alfred

bearing dispatches from General Miles
at Fort Hamilton, B. Y, to General
Wesley Merritt, at Chicago, arrived in
this city this afternoon, having made
the trip of over twelve hundred miles
by bicycle in thirteen days. seven hours
and forty-fve minutes. This beats the
eastern recrd by one hour and fifteen
minutes. The time from Chicago to
Washington, d. c., has been made in
q little over six days, but the course IS
down grae the greater part OF the way.
Matthey says ne feels positive he can
beat his his own record at least a day,
and expresses the desire TO make the
attempt.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
No announcement, as Yet. OF the Govern

Ottawa, Ont, June 23.-No announce
ment has been made as yet concerning
the Dominion governments intentions
regarding the Manitoba schools. Since
the Manitoba Legislature declined to re-
establish separate schools, three French
ministers, who are in the Cabinet, have
been striving to convince Premier 30
well that his only hope of maintaining
power Is to pass a Dominion law giving
the Catholics OF Manitoba the right to
devote part of their taxes to keeping
separate schools. The French minis
tiers say there IS prospect Of all the
French Conservatives, from Quebec,
twenty-eight In number, voting against
the government if this is not done.
Ontario Conservatives have made no
announcement, but say that few OF
them can vote fer inference with pro-
vincial rights OF legislation in all pro-
vincial matters. They favor the ap-
pointment of a commission to enquire
into the whole question and to report
within q year.
