Going for the Doctor.

About 615 yesterday morning a
splendid looking horse attached to a
| new double-seated buggy was being driv-
en- slowly along Congress street When
about opposite Frye's store, the horse,
without any apparent reason, took a sud-
den bolt, begun to kick and started on
the run for. the sidewalk. Mr.. Morrill,
and his son were just in front of DIR.
Bakers house. AS the team came for
them the driver was trying his best to
hold the horse, but it was impossible.
Dr. Bakers steps are built quite high
and curve both east and west at the base,
then his bay windows project considera-
bly,, thereby forming small hollow Mr..
Morrill,, who is man of good Judgment
as we'll as quick to see a good thing,
quickly pushed his boy into this hollow
and jammed himself also into it as the
horse and team came for him. The
horse ran up the steps, broke the glass in
the front door and was thrown down
stairs on his back. AS the carriage
turned the driver stepped out unhurt. Mr..
Morrill, and his boy jumped on the horse
and with the drivers help secured the
animal who was bleeding quite badly,
and was taken to Murray's stable on
franklin street. The doctors steps
steps were well spottedswith blood. 1t
was narrow escape for Mr.. Morrill, and
his son. Mr.. Morrill, is the well known
fruit dealer on Central street. The car
riage received a broken shaft only The
driver said it was a new horse His Hon
or, the Mayor, had only lately bought.
The doctor came to the door without
stopping to dress to see what the matter

BICYCLE RESULTS.

Wheels Bring Health and Happiness
Threatened Ruin to Certain Industries.
The bicycle brings health and happi-
ness to very many people, and at the
same time it is threatening certain in
dustries with ruin. The Sunday thea
ter has been a losing enterprise since
bicycling became popular passion. 1t
would not surprise us at all if year
from this time the theaters of Chicago
were to close their doors on Sundays,
compelled to do SO by the lack of pat
ronage, says the Record of that city.
Suburban transportation lines do a
wretched business during the bicycling
season, for who would submit to the
slow process of horse car or q cable
line when his wheel offers swift and
gratuitous service?
The weekly paper which has hereto
fore appealed for patronage to thou
sands of Sunday readers finds itself
suddenly with merely corporal's
guard of constituents. The cycler does
not care I'd read-no, not even love
stories-when he has it in his power to
bowl along smooth streets, through
shady parks and over clean, country
roads in the companionship of his
breezily accoutered inamorata. So that
publication known as the exclusive
Sunday paper has survived its useful
ness.
The laundryman-he, too, is hurt by
this bicycle mania, for brief experience
teaches the wheelman that neglige cos.
tunes are the best, and with this con-
viction comes a farewell to starched
linen and those other quondam ad-
juncts and frills which serve to enrich
the launderer.
So we might continue to multiply in
stances showing the changes which
have been and are being wrought by
the wheel. Already bicycling is no
longer regarded as an innovation; the
calm Judgment of thinking people is
that the bicycle has come to stay. The
rights of the wheelmen are being dis
cussed and defined. Presently impor-
tant results will declare themselves,
and we doubt not that they will re-
dound to the advantage of the public
and emphasize the progress of civiliza-

PREACHERS QUEER JOB.
Rev. Mr.. Norris Contract for Mar
rying Colored People.
Great Rush Among Washington Negroes
to Escape the Workhouse by Having
Long-Delayed Ceremonies Per-
formed Free of Charge.

That portion of the African race
resident in this city is in the grasp of a
great moral reform, writes a Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Herald. A tidal wave of wedlock is
sweeping over it. There is law called
the ,Edmunds law. 1t was meant to
NOW the Mormons. But it has been
put into recent active operation in the
city of Washington, and thousands of
the colored race were caught within
its coils. A large portion of them have
never thought of getting marriage
license or parading before a preacher
at ali.
The whole population of the district
is declared by the police census to be
about 270 ,000, of which SO, 900 are of Afri-
can blood. The books also declare that,
while colored persons take out only 6
per cent. of the marriage licenses, they
furnish 40 per cent. of the births.
The constabulary recently began to
arrest all who were found living to-
gether without marriage. Colored
circles became profoundly agitated.
Not more than two-score had been
sent to the workhouse Iwhen former
Representative Conn, of Indiana, q
millionaire, heard of the crusade.
"Why not cure these evils with dose
of marriage hcenses?" asked Mr.. Conn.
He negotiated for a few reams of
blank marriage licenses and started in.
He fitted up big room in his building
and made compact with Rev. ]. w,
Norris, of one of the local colored
churches, by the terms of which Rev.
Mr.. Norris was to report for duty at
three o'clock in the afternoon during
the six working days of the week, and
marry all corners.
The bureau has been running less
than a week and the craze to come
downtown and be married" is preying
upon the colored people. There have
been seventy-eight couples married dur
ing the last four days.
There were eighteen couples waiting
for Rev. Mr.. Norris the other after

noon. They were seemingly happy as
children out for lark. Most of them
said they had not been married before.
1t cost too much. Some of the appli-
cants for free wedding were aged
"uncles" and ''aunties" who had lived
together ever "since the wah."
''lt am suttingly CRETE privilege
which, >" remarked Rev. Mr.. Norris, "'de
moral sagashusness of Mistah Conn un-
fol's to de pore darkened colored sim
ners of Wash'nton an vicinity" Rev.
Mr.. Norris might have said more, but
three o'clock rung out; game was called
and he had to go to bat. His eight dol
lars and his duty called.
Things had simmered to system in
this business of marriage at wholesale.
The preliminary canter, as it were, con-
sisted Of fashion of wedding march
when, one after another, each couple
paraded before the preachers desk and
replied to such queries as the law pre-
scribes. They did this readily.
The first couple to score were John
Jones and Della Merriman. Johns age
gained him this precedence. He was
wrinkled and bent, with wool as white
as cotton.
"Evah since Gin'rul Grant reviewed
his troops at de close OBJ de wah," OBJ
served John to me, "me and my ole
Della has been alvin together. But
I'm gettin' ole, an me an Della al
lowed de day befo' yis't'day dat eff we
hadn't lived married, de least wuz we'd
die married. An hyah we be, Dress de
Lawd." John and Della took the mar
rage license and withdrew when the
worst was over, convinced that they
were morally cured and ready to meet
ON even terms any angel of their COM
plexion.
After Rev. Mr.. Norris had asked the
questions he addressed the multitude
. briefly. 1t was labor-saying Grafton.
He said:
"Now, eff all you folks will STAN

Seven couples arranged themselves
in an arc in front of Rev. Mr.. Norris.
On the left wing of this line of battle
stood William Willard. Williams bride
was clothed in a neat black. Most OF
the brides were clad in the common
raiment of every day, but several had

TEA AS AN INTOxICANT.
Growing Passion for the Drink Among
Philadelphians.


The "tea habit" is growing on the
law-abiding people of this peaceful city,
says the Philadelphia Record. In the
opinion of Quaker City physician of
prominence the victims drink this bev-
erage as a hardened drunkard drinks
whisky. He adds that the Intoxicating
effects of tea are not appreciated as
fully as they should be. Cheap or i'm
properly brewed tea is known to have
caused many functional arrangements
of the gravest character. Many of the
victims not knowing that their troubles
are due to tea drinking, suffer from
headache and often from persistent
dizziness and indigestion. Despond-
ency and palpitation of the heart are
also among the complaints. Lastly,
that dread enemy of every man, In
somnia, has many victims among the
lot. These are certainly a batch Of
troublesome symptoms Of which any
pernicious drug should be proud. There
is great difference in the physiological
effect of tea on the system. When 1t
has been used to excess for a consid-
cradle period well defined symptoms
supervene. There can be added to the
list already given Authorizations, nau-
sea, anorexia, prostration and anxiety
and a peculiar kind of intoxicstion.
