One Of the pleasantest sights to be
seen here and in Yokohama is the
group Of handsome schoolboys one
meets in the street. The little fellows
all wear blue caps and carry their
books in satchels swung over their
shoulding. They are bright-eyed,
chubby faced, merry and sturdy look
ing. They love school, and you can
plainly sec in them the future soyer-
eigns of Japan. l have yet to see IL
school boy who was not both handsome
and intelligent looking. The public
school sastem in Japan is thorough.
There is coeducation of sexes, and the
system is based almost entirely upon
ours. A few nights ago our hotel in
Yokohama was serenaded by band
of youths from one of the normal
schools. They were neatly uniformed,
and they played most excellently
Marching Through Georgia and John

way, have become almost national in

little else in the way of out door music.

Jones' Preliminary Examination.

The move made by the defense
must, to say the least, have been IN
expected by the Government officials
in the Mint case. The defense have
subpenaed Superintendent Adams,
Meter and Refiner Harris and In
spector Mason to appear in Court next
Tuesday morning together with all
books of the Mint and all bars of
bullion alleged to be spurious. Mr..
Beck has been requested to appear
with the books of the Reno Reduction
Works, and the move of the defense in
thus subpenaing all the heavy weight
witnesses Of the Government on the
side of Jones looks very much as
though they were not afraid of any
damaging testimony from that quar-
ter.-Tribune.

A BURGLAR ARRESTED.
He Stole Bridge Tickets Which Caused
 His Arrest.

Frank Austin, the negro arrested in this city ny the Chief of Police Saturday night on | telegram from Little Rock officers, left for that city this morning in the custody of Deputy Constable Chess keatts.
 On the night of the 9th inst. Austin burglarized a store in Little Rock, and among the articles stolen were a number of bridge tickets. After committing his crime he boarded a freight train and came to Pine Bluff, arriving here about o'clock a. m. He formed the acquaintance in this city of Miles Donelson, the negro guitar player, and learning that the latter was going to Little Rock to spend several days presented him with a number of the tickets. Donelson used one of the tickets and was at once accused of tho crime Of burglary. He exonerated himself by proving that Austin had given the tickets to him, and pointed out the criminal to the officers. When arrested Austin told several tales as to how the tickets came into his possession, but the officers claim that they have strong ease and will be able to convict him.

IT WILL CONTAIN R0ADWAYs
 FOR BICYCLE RIDERS.
HOW IT WILL BE MADE.
Some Suggestions 10 the Rulers of Memphis as 10 What They Might Do..--Fineen Hundred
 Wheels Here.

The hicycle has come to stay, and tisa well recognized fixture in the businsss ofloeomotion. A few years ago the bicycle rider was considered to have no righls at ali, but of late those who ride the wheels are given certain consideration hY vehicles and pedestrians, which they deserve, thongh many take advantage ot this and feel that the entire street belongs to them. This, however is an exception, for, as u rule, the bicycle riders in Memphis are con siderate of the convenience of others.
 It is probable that in the next three or fonr years every family will have one or more bicycles-one probably for the male members and one of lighter build for the female members.
 A bicycle requires a good street, and how best to pave the streets for the wants of q bicycle as well as the requirements of a vehicle drawn by horses, is problem that engineers are now considering. The street of the future will probably be bnilt after this manner:
 If it be of granite there will be q roadway nn either side-saY three feet wide-for the use of Wheelmen. Wheellaen going in one direction Will use she right of the street, and those going i'll the other will use the otherside. This roadway will probably be paved with brick or some other similar substance pre- senting a smooth surface. On either side of it will also be a small curb say two inches above the surface, not as n protection for vehicles drawn by horses coming into the roadway, but rather as a guide and warning that the space between the curb is for the use of wheelmen exclusively. Not, even if the entire street is paved with n substance as smooth as glass, this roadway for the use of wheelmen will probably be set a. part.
 Again, the sprinkling cart will not be permitted to throw water on the track used by wheel-riders, for it is a well known fact that when the street is wet from water there is danger of wheelmen taking a ''header.' ;
 The engineers are already looking into this thing, and they realize the necessity efseparating bicycle riders from those who use vehicles drawn by horses, not only for the con yenience of both, but also for their safety.
 In the future the well-governed city will devote the middle section of its street to the street cars and the space on either side to vehicles and the outer space near the gutter to i;.,.les In this way everybody

Charley'S Aunt.

Charley's Aunt was very popular in Boston,
as in every other city in which it has been pro-
duced. The reception given Brandon Thomas
new play was most gratifying and fiattering,
and the house has been crowded at every per-
formance for five months. The play deals with
complications that arise fiom the assumption of
woman's apparel by young collegian, that he
may take the place of an absent chaperone,
Charleys aunt, and so allow his chums to go
on with lunch in their rooms to which they
had invited their sweethearts. He intends to
wear this dress fifteen minutes only, but is COM
PEELED to retain it through the entire play, is
made love to by two passionate wooers, is fore
ed to submit to the caresses and condolences of
the young ladies, and finally is discovered by
the real aunt. There are several screamingly
laughable situations as may be we'll imagined,
and the whole thing is mirth-provoking to a
degree. For one instance, the young fellow is
dying for smoke, and can stand his masquer-
aiding no longer, and in desperation rips his
feminine garb off his masculine back, determin-
ed to throw it all up, only to be caught by his
colleagues, and is forced to resume them. Then
again it is, to say the least, funny to see
ingy respectable old lady cross her feet. stretch
herself out in chair and proceed to enjoy a
cigar, unmindful of the fact that a generous
portion of gray trousered leg is visible below
the skiIt of her dress. A quartette of handsome
women assume the feminine roles, and do ex-
cellent work
