THE GEORGETOWN CUSTOM HOUSE.
An InvestigatiOn Being Made by Two
Treasury Special Agents.

There Is some sort Of trouble at the
Georgetown custom house In regard to
which the officials of the Treasury De-
partment observe a persistent and studied
reticence. 1t is alleged that there Is a
suspicion that certain irregularities have
occurred in the administration of the
customs business at that port. and it is
known that two special agents of the
treasury are conducting an investigation
at the custom house. These agents are Mr..
Jenkins of the Boston district and Mr..
McEnery of the New Orleans district. 1t
is said at the department that the present
Investigation II similar to examinations
made periodically at all customs districts,
and in itself has no special significance
The assignment of Messrs. Jenkins and
NcEnery to the work Is duo to the fact
that they happened to be in Washington
at this time in connection with business in
their own districts. 1t is said further that
this Is the first examination of the affairs
of the Georgetown office since Collector
ManoSGe took charge of it.

THE WHEEL,

Schefski, the Salt Lake flyer, is still
In California, following the circuit. He
shows up splendidly in all trial heats,
but falls down when it comes to the
final.
No change in the line of frame con-
struotion and general outline will be
observable the coming year with the
products of the most advanced bicycle
manufacturers. The results of the
past season have proved so satisfac-
tory in demonstrating that further
change in general design is unneces-
sary. that the leaders in the trade
have given their attention exclusively
to the perfection of detail in the field
of friction reduction. Extensive i'm
provementS in bearings and noticeable
features of 1896 models, and smoother
running qualities and easier propul-
sion will result.
There is such a thing as having the
tread of a bicycle too narrow for safe
ty. Five inches should be the mimi
mum width, nothing narrower, and
five and one-quarter inches is much
better still for machines for general
use, the narrower tread being proper
only for racing wheels. Anything mar
rover than five inches is at the sacri-
flee of strength and durability, as the
rear wheel cannot fail to be weakened
it's most vital points. A prescribed
limit is necessary to give a proper
stiffness to the wheel. The leading
manufacturers have adopted five and
quarter inch standard for the COM
ing season.

now consists of z. c.. Bald and Man.

east, is now at Los Angeles. Cal, fol-
lowing the national circuit which
comes to a conclusion early next month
in southern California. The heavy
work of the team during the entire
season has been almost exclusively
borne by Bald. and his astonishing
successes against tremendous odds
stamp him the equal if not the superior
of Zimmerman, for he has had faster
men to defeat than the latter had to
contend with while in the amateur
class. 1t has been a case of Bald
against the field ever since the Begin
Bali has been more successful by a
'large and steadily increasing ma
jority.''
The season of 1896 VIII witness no
change in the general design Of
Columbia bicycles. The number OF
models and their designations will re-
main the same as in 1895. the present
patterns having proven SO satisfactory
that a new departure in the line of
frame construction is unnecessary.
Noticeable improvements have, how
ever, been made in the running gear

amount will be increased. Pocatello is
frightening up, and our payrolls there
this month will be heavier than in

CAMP FIRES.
The Veterans of the G. A. r. Make
Merry

The Veterans of the G. A. r. Make
Merry
A jolly crowd thronged the G. A. R
hall last night, the occasion being the
Camp Fire" and entertainment given
by the James B. Mexican pest and its
Relief Corps. Before the commence
ment of the formal programme some
and the guests were having a merry
good time of it when Colonel TatlocN
called the gathering to ordes'.
The first number was a, patriotic
song in which the entire company
Joined DR.. Tiff was the leader and
there were enough of the old army
boys present to make sure that they
sang it as they used to sing it, $4,000
strong while they were marching
through Georgia.
Next came ten minute address by
Rev. T. c. Tiff 1t was brim full of
patriotism, fun and pathos. He re-
cogniZed the many dangers confront
ing the nation, but he thought tine
country would in the end come out all
right. He did not know just how but
he thought he influences that served
the country in other crises would save
it in those to come.
Miss Webb gave a reading of "The
Old Surgeons Story" and then the
sadness which the finely rendered bit
of pathos had thrown over the COM
pany was dispelled by a ringing piece
of melody executed on the piano by
Miss Short and Miss Tiff.
A patriotic speech by Colonel NJ NJ.
kaighn followed. He paid a fine tri-
butte to the Grand Army of the Re
public, saying that it is now an army
of men past middle life, but that it
was in 1876. so the authentic re-
cords show-composed of men whose
average age was but 1872 years.
This statement suggested to Colonel
Tatlock something about the militia
and he told how every recruit to a
man when the question was asked
him whether he would respond to the
governors call for troops if such a
call were made had unhesitatingly
said yes" this too after the sacrifices
of such a move had been enumerated
to them.
Comrade S. G. Dodd, an old army
chaplain, then made a few remarks.
and gave several "reminiscences of
army life.
Miss Newcomb gave a humorous
recitation which evoked very enthusi-
astic applause.

Most diseases are caused by poison

The reason SO many Of our great
men die from Bright's disease is that
SO many overwork themselves.
Bright's disease is only one of the

Won't Come Down.

President Pullman says that the last
annual report of his company showed
the net earnings were only little over
per cent. on the capital invested. The
current berth rates, he claims. do not
give undue profit, and this is shown by
the fact that various railroads, which
have had for years the right under
their contracts to put in share of
capital up to three-fourths of the cost
of the cars on their lines, and receive
like share of the net earnings of the
operation of such cars, do not avail
themselves of the option. Two such
railways as the Pennsylvania and AL
ton would not overlook a probable adj
vantage to their stockholders if the eX-
ercise of their option gave it.

would not be able to advance even then
unless the lines had a pretty fair un-
