WOMAN ON WHEELS.
Why They Make u More Graceful APP
pcnrnnce Than Men.
From Harners Mapazfne

Why They Make u More Graceful APP
pcnrnnce Than Men.
From Harper's Magazine.
The year 1895 will be known in history a S
the great bicycle year. 1t marks a stage
in the advance of women, and consequently
in the evolution of society. 1t is true that
women heretofore, here and there, have
been trying the machines In an apologize,
shamefaced sort of way, but in this year
they have boldly come TO the front
riders, challenging male competition, and
making fashion of that which before was
eccentricity. Since the Queen of Italy
took to the wheel therc'has been no doubt
of the propriety of doing so: and although
the queen who is more widely respected
and loved than any other ruler in her gen.
Grafton has. for reasons of weight and
state, refrained from this pastime, lesser
royalties and nobilities and leaders of fash
ion have taken it up enthusiastically, and
there has been a sudden and general wheel
movement of the sex, almost simultaneous
all round the globe-a mounting in hot
haste in England, on the continent and in
the United States.
Bicycling is not a graceful performance
for man or woman neither in trousers nor
skirts. nor in any hybrid costume which
has been devised But women are more
graceful in 1T than men, because they sit
more erect and have regard for appear
ance, and do not hump the back and imi-
tate the cunning attitude of the monkey
on the ring pony. The treading action can
not be made graceful, however pretttly
and skillfully it may be done. 1t is doubt
full whether the skirt, which gives the rider
the appearance of "wallowing" along, is
any addition to the attractiveness of the
wheel.
Women may ride in tights, but it is GER
tain that men never will adopt the skirt.
1t is too dangerous. Man has not courage
to risk the complications of an overthrow
in a skirt. But whatever costume women
may finally settle on for this arena, it is
certain that they will not be driven from
the wheel.

Features of the Debate Yesterda!
al

Features of the Debate Yesterday
Afternoon and Evening.
Discussion of the bond bill occupied the
attention of the House yesterday after
noon and evening. The feature of the de-
bate yesterday was a strong speech from
Mr.. johnson Cal), appealing to his repub-
lican colleagues to vote against the bill.
He scored the republican leaders for bring
ing in the bill He said he had voted for
the revenue measure the day before under
protest but he refused to follow them on
the present bill. Political expediency which
involved a surrender of principle he de-
clared, would never succeed. Speeches
were made by Messrs. Dlngley (MeD, Gros-
venor (Ohio), Turner (Ga), Patterson
CTenn.G Swanson Na.) and Lacy Uowa.)
At the evening session the speakers were
Mr.. Wheeler (Ala), who closed his argu-
ment against the gold standard; Mr.. Terry
(ArkD, Mr. Underwood (Ala). Mr.. Yelling
ton Md), who favored the bill; Mr.. Will
son Uiaho). republican, opposed to it;
Mr.. Daniels IN. W who encouraged the
republicans to pass it; Mr.. Bowers CCaD.
who. though a republican, declared that
the bill was based on the demand of the
stock gamblers of Wall street.
Other speakers were Mr.. Adams (Pa),
Mr.. Gibson Tenn.J ana Mr.. De Almond

HAVANA IN A PANIC.
Daring Cavalry Raid Into the Suburbs
by Insurgents.

Daring Cavalry Raid Into the Suburbs
by Insurgents.
Special Dispatch to the Pha. Press.
KEY WEST. Fla, December 2I.-Havana
was thrown into a panic yesterday by a
daring act of the insurgents. About o'clock
in the afternoon band of mounted revolu-
tonists, numbering probably 49, dashed
at full speed into ,Palmira, populous sub
urb of Havana. AS the raiders galloped
through the streets they fired their re-
volvers, which terrified the inhabitants,
any of whom fled into Havana. and an
nounced that the insurgents were advancing
on the city. The news spread rapidly and
caused the widest excitement. The report
soon reached the palace, and Acting Gov
ernor General Arderius got all the Spanish
troops under arms to repel the expected at
tack, and ordered a regiment to Palmira to
reconnoiter. When the troops reached the
suburb they found that the raiders had
sacked three drug stores and retreated
The raiders told the druggists the medicine
vas needed for the nsurgent sick. Havana
did not recover from its alarm for hours,
and last night the Spanish guards were
doubled

BicNcle Uses.

In the Cycle Notes. of the Scientific
American we find in one week, three new
uses of the nineteenth century chariot.
In France it is used for the distribution of
telegrams; the riders have an allowance
for the use of the machines. In some Bel
gian cities the fire department uses tricy-
cles for hose carts. with good results. On
Long Island, \. Y. an entomologlSt carries
a reservoir of irsacticitle attached to the
handle bars of his bicycle, and a KNAPP
sack spraying atlline5 on his shoulders.
He has thus quick and efficient means
of scattering the poison which kills insects
ir furious to vegetation.
