that It shall not be lawful for the owner or

THE OUTFIT or BICYCLES
Estimated This Year nt Double That OF
Any Previous Year.

The output of bicycles in the United States
this year Is estimated at 10000 and it may
reach 100000, which would be double the pro-
duction of any previous year. We now import
very few wheels; the imports for this year may
not exceed 5000 The exports are increasing.
We shall probably send to France this year from
$500 TO 5000 bicycles. We have made be-
ginning in England, but tho business has been
slow there as it was expected to be. Half n
dozen American manufacturers now have
agents in Europe. Only wheels OF the highest
grades are exported, American wheels are sup
planting the English in the Mexican cities
where wheels are used, and in Havana there are
three or four agencies of American wheels.

Las Vegas hot springs my scouts had reported
to me that n plan for n train robbery had been
arranged which could be met only by making
some immediate and hazardous arrests which I
must rely upon him to effect. In giving him
his instructions thought it best TO warn him of
the danger he would incur. He listened atten-
lively to what had to say. but showed not the
slightest surprise or emotion nervousness.

GEN. MACEo's EXPEDITION.
Costa Rica's Charge d'AHaires Deaies tn at

WASHINGTON. April 7.-Sehor Joaquin Ber-
nardo Calvo. charge d'atfaires of Costa Rica,
says in the most emphatic manner that the ex-
pedition OF the Cuban revolutionist Gen. Maceo.
said to have effected q landing in Cuba, did not
start from Costa Rica. as that country is
energetic and vigilant in preventing any abuse
OF its territory by the organization OF hostile ex-
petitions against friendly powers. This. Mr..
Calvo says, was demonstrated n short time ago
by the prompt putting down of the expedition
Of Catarino Cara against Bocas del Toro. II fact
well substantated in a note of Mr. Baker,
Minister of the United States to Costa Rica
which has been published. senior Calvo adds:
According to dispatches to the press. Gen.
Macco left LimOn. Costa kica, passenger in
one of the liners Of the Atlas Company. which
are English steamers that arrive at that port
periodically. The tobacco colony managed by
Gen. Maceo under u contract with the Govern
ment Is on the Pacific coast in the northwest
part of our territory at n great distance from tho
Atlantic coast which makes 1t very difficult for
the Cuban Colonists to have connection of any
kind with the revolutionists of Cuba. Neither
would it be easy for Gen. Maceo or any other
Cuban to violate the neutrality laws. for tho
colony is under the authorities OF the country
ard Government agents. who would mete out
severe punishment to those guilty of such an
attempt"

THE CHURCH hoard orERRULED.
Politicians Take n Hand In Settling .
Trouble In Methodist Congregation.


Trouble In 81 Methodist Congregation.
JAMEsTowS, N. y, April by the unani-
nous voice Of his congregation, the Rev Charles
&. Albertson OF the Methodist Church was In
vited to remain hero another year, this being
practical reversal of the action Of the Church
Board. and unprecedented in tho annals Of
Methodism.
Tho move originated with local politicians,
and was carried out under their leadership,
none Of them being members Of tho church.
Mr.. Albertson Is a brilliant pulpit orator, and
his following extends beyond tho limits of his
church circle.
About two years ago one of the members Of
his flock, who owns a drug store, took out
license to sell liquor. This stirred up the
prohibition contingent In the congregation.
and when Mr.. Albertson came here he
was confronted by this difficulty, which

ernble majority Of the members OF the congre-

dominate the Church Board and when the ques-
Aibcrtson should be invited to remain, there was
missed upon u resolution which left Il for Mr.
Albertson to elect whether he would consider
himself invited for another term.
Not content with this one of the members
went to n local paper and caused tho offensive
language of the resolution to be published. so
that Mr.. Albertson could not choose to return
without placing himself before the community
in the light of having forced himself upon the
congregation.
Mr.. Albertson was called to Meadvlle on
Friday evening last to deliver lecture. ex-
changing pulpits with the Rev. Mr.. Neff of that
city for to-day. On Saturday morning q local
newspaper called attention to the facts in the
case, and Frank Mercle and Frank Mott. tho
latter n leading young man in the Democratic
politics OF western New York, took IL upon
themselves to act.
They attended church In the morning. and at
the close OF the services when tho announce
ments were about to be made. Mr.. Mercle arose
in his place and. addressing the congregation.
said that there seemed to be some mistake as to
the attitude of the church In respect To extend
Ing further call to Mr.. Albsrtson, and sug-
gested that rising vote be taken upon tho
question.
Mr. Mott follow ed in n speech eulogizing Mr..
Albertson and telling OF the influence which he
had welded in and out of the church, and closed
by seconding the motion. Other speeches along
the same lines followed and when the vote was
taken not n single individual arose to oppose it,
with the exception of a Salvation Army man,
who was quickly pulled down, and who closed
with tho promise to be heard from again.
The movement was n complete surprise. and
has created a sensation in this city. There is
much curiosity as TO the position which Mr..
Albertson will take. hut it Is generally believed
that he will feel justified in eectns to return to
this charge.

Large Increase In Postal Receipts During
the Last Quarter.

ion Of the Post Office Department has Just COM
pleted the settlement of accounts OF Post Offices
for the last quarter OF the calendar year. 1894.
and the figures, As compared with those of the
same quarter of 1903, are viewed with much
satisfaction by the officials The volume of busi-
ness transacted by the postal service has long
been considered reliable index of the condition
OF trade and commerce of the country. When
the recent panic began to affect the business in
terests of tho country that fact was at once
shown in reduced receipts at the Post Office.
Now that the figures show an increase. the
officials feel justified in arguing that the bottom
has been touched and that the country Is on the
upward grade. The sale Of stamps for tho
quarter was $40, 0,4o5.57l This is said to be the
the same period in the history OF the postal
service. The receipts for the last quarter OF
1903 were lSl99,T29. The following table

HIGHER PRICES FOR FURS.
The Hudson Bay Marten. Beaver. and Fox
Now Threatened with DETERMINATION.

QUEBEC, April 7.-Women who delight in tho
luxury of the finest furs may soon have to pay
fancy prices for indulging in it. Apart from tho
threatened scarcity. IL not early extinction
Of the supply of sealskins from Behring
Sea. there promises at no distant date to
be a famine in those magnificent skins that
are taken in Canadian northern wilds. Adyices
received here from Great Britain show that the
Hudson Bay fur sales this year have been much
more favorable to the company than those of
nous advances Of price. Marten has dou bled
In value since last year. while fox brought an
increase of no less than $50 por cent.
The rise in the price of marten is due to the
popularity of the colarette. made of a single
skin. Nearly 105. 900 of these SIX ns were sold
and the company cleared 94O 900 on them. The
result OF the increased prices is that the skins
are being now sought for with SO much greed in
tho marten and the ornamental foxes and
beavers of the north is likely to follow.
