CIROUMSrAN1IAL EVIDENCE.

CIhC O OHSI1N LIJL IF IDENCLs Recent events in this State have indi-
 cated how difficult it may be to show that representatives of the people have been bribed to take a certain course of
 action. Of course, we do not mean by
 this remark to indicate that any repre- sentative of the people in this State has
 been bribed All we want to do is to call attention to the fact that when rep resentatives of the people are bribed
 they do not usually leave themselves any more exposed to discovery than they
 can help. So 1t Is not often that there
 is anything but circumstantial evidence
 that there has been bribery, and even
 that evidence Is usually slim. Occa- sionally, however, an Investigating com-
 mittee will become quite warm" as the hunt proceeds. The people of Philadel- phia are much interested in case of
 this kind. What is called the mutual automatic telephone bill slipped or was pushed through the city councils. and the committee which has been in- vestigating the matter has found some remarkable coincidences. The transfer books of the company showed that SS57,- 300 of stock had been assigned, and the report of the Investigating committee says: Of this amount the following blocks had been issued to Julian c. Gale. a minor employe of the company: 75 blocks of. 6 shares each, 25 lots of 20 shares each, and 4 lots of 500 shares each. It is very significant that the 75 lots of 6 shares correspond closely with three-fifths of the number of members of Common council, and that the 25 lots of 20 shares each correspond similarly with the membership of Select council. The four blocks of 800 shares may have been prepared for influential officers of these bodies. It is to be remembered that three-fffths of the members elected are necessary to pass measure over a veto, hence a veto appears to have been expected. though not realized, from Mayor Stuart.
 The suspected men have made oath that they have not been bribed, and the committee has recommended that the whole affair be submitted to the Penrose Senate committee for further investigation and authoritative action. It is possible that the remarkable coin cidences above noted will be entirely explained away and the dangers that turk in circumstantial evidence receive q new illustration.

the same cause. Both have had a run of popularity in that city, but both are now on the wane. Their only hope of a thriving existence was based upon the continuance of hard times and the lack of remunerative employment. The po- tato plan was started early in the sea- son. and g. considerable amount of un- occupied land was ploughed and put in condition to be used by the poor of the city in raising vegetables for their own sustenance. Seeds and tools were fur nished in abundance, and all that was needed was the cooperation of desti- ute families But here came the hitch. Only a few applications were made for the vacant lots, and investigation into the cause shows that people who a few months ago were seeking for employ ment, almost destitue, are now hard at work and are earning good wages. Some there are, of course, who choose to live as mendicants, but these are not of the class to make successful Pingree farm CTS, though they make good free-coinage advocates. St. Louis would be willing to part with them for a song, and the city is also read to sell a valuable col lection of hoes, spades and other imple- ments of the Fingree art

TfE NEW MAN.

1t is reasonable to expect that as
 the New Woman comes to the front the corresponding New Man will put in an 1 appearance. He is already cropping out here and there, and he will soon
 be well known. He hove in sight the
 other day on a train of cars in New
 Jersey, and proceeded to make himself comfortable just as the New Woman is in the habit of doing. And in the process he paid just as much attention to the notions of the New Woman as
 the New Woman does to the notions of
 the Old Man. It was warm day and he took off his coat. A New Woman who was in the car was mortified at the lack of respect for her which this action showed and she protested The New Man, not having those feelings of chivalry which the Old Man had, paid no attention to the protest, but calmly proceeded to unbutton his col lar and vest. This was entirely too much for the New Woman. She didn't faint and she did deliver a most feel ing oration on the respect due her sex. The New Man laughed and continued to mind his own business. The New Woman got madder and madder and finally when the train reached Newark she had the New Man arrested. He explained the matter to the judge be- fore whom he was brought and he was promptly released. The New Woman is busy planning how to enforce the po- liteness that was once freely and gladly bestowed upon her.
 The New Man has also appeared in Chicago, and in a. very impressive way too. He is figuring in divorce suit brought against him by his wife. She complains that for the last six years he has insisted on moving at least three times a year. In the old days it was the woman in such cases who had the moving habit and all the Old Man had to do was to move whenever she couldn't get along with the neighbors, the neighbors' children or the neigh bors' chickens, cats or dogs. It is a queer and significant thing to see the l New Man afflicted with the moving

 The rapid development of the present interest in bicycling among people of wealth and leisure in America is per haps It's most striking feature. Scarce ly a year has elapsed since the first wo- man known at all in and to the fash ionable world of New York rode her wheel along the Boulevard and through Central Park. and this she did amid all manner of adverse comment from and by her associates. A few society men so called-of an adventurous and ath- letic turn of mind rode the well-re- membered high wheel' spasmodically for some years, and some few again es- saved the safety bicycle when it was first invented. These too were jeered at by their fellows, and with few ex- captions, soon abandoned sport in which they did not find congenial conn panionship. The society world, which in this generation had taken up croquet, roller-skating and lawn tennis in turn with avidlty, and tired of them in suc- cession, watched with languid glances the blcyclists seen in the streets andmet within it's drives and rides--was rather disposed to grumble at them as a nui- sance, and to silently approve all meas ures to restrict their privileges. It was for the most part ignorant of the rap- id development of the sport, of the cap ital invested in bicycle manufacture, of tournaments, and leagues, and class es. It sneered and laughed at women riders of the wheel, and was as far away from even the idea of adopting the wheel itself year ago as it was before the invention of the safety bi- cycle.
 It was a New York physicians wife who first learned to ride a year ago, and became the pioneer among fash ionable wheel-women, and her example and that of her husband was soon fol- lowed by other well-known New York men and women.-James B. Townsend, in Scribner

severe trial comes for the wardrobe that cannot furnish a separate gown for each such rough usage, and since the latter is sure to come, 1t is advisa- bIe to plan attire that, while at least near enough to being dressy to be cor reetly styled jaunty, Is capable of with standing the toughest kind of wear A suggestion for this sort of get-up Is con veyed in the accompanying sketch, and while full concession is made to pre- vailing styles, materials and cut are aimed at durability.

Tn Favor of Needed Reform.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 I was much interested in "Kango's'' communication in your issue of the 17th and should have replied earlier had I not been otherwise engaged. I heartily concur with his atements--relating to the subject of making the miserable 'rounders," who find comfortable quar- ters and good living during the winter months in our palatial county house, where they have better food and ac- commodations than they do outside of the jail walls, and those drunken vaga- bonds, wife beaters, etc., who get sent up 60 or 90 days until the forty rod" gets out of them; and how soon they get back again. My plan would be to put these fellows to work, not in the Jail house, where they compete with honest labor, but put them into a stone quarry and in the dltches under a good overseer, with chain and ball, if neces- sary. I think this procedure would lessen the needs of extended jail accom- modations. The improvement suggested by Kango at the foot of East Rock would be just the place to commence operations of this nature. The sugges- tion is good one, and I hope to see the project started. To me the whole mat ter is feasible. Let us have it started at once. know that voice the sentiment of a good many taxpayers in this direc- ton. REFORM.
