LONDON, Dec. %, 1S95.-The "St.

newspaper to print the ultimatum OF
Great Britain to Venezuela, on October
10, published today statement that in
itial steps have been taken in British
Guiana to form a chartered company,
whose operations shall lie between the
Essequibo and the Schomburgk line.
The Gazette proceeds to say that
the origin of this important political de-
velopment is to be found in a despatch
which Mr.. Chamberlain, Colonial Secre-
tary, wrote in September, sketching the
new policy of the Imperial Government
as regarded interior affairs and inquir-
ing if local capitalists were prepared to
take up large concession in the north
west and develop it's mineral and other
resources, at the same time limiting that
if not there were people in the United
Kingdom who were willing to do so.
TIL sGazette'' then goes on to print a
report of meeting held in British
Guiana for the purpose of forming a
chartered company to take up Mr..
Chamberlain's offer. The paper,which
claims to know the policy of the Colonial
ofice, says it is certain that Great

EDEN PRINCIPLES MAINTAINED
Bicycle Manufacturer Cannot Turn
Out Wheels Fast Enough to
Meet the Demand.

There appear to be times when nonsense
of one sort or another holds the popular
mind, says the July Munsey. The phenom-
,non Is by no means exclusively Ameri-
cam dn England, that lond of regular
habits, 1t recurs annually as the silly
season." Whatever we may aver to the
contrary, the public, or the part OF 1t
that is conspicuous-the face of the body
polite, as 1t were-loves a wonder. 1t
likes to discover the best or the worst
in any current condition. AS the late p.
T. Barnum expressed It, the public en-
joys being humbugged. 1t likes to de-
ceive itself with mares nests, and 1t has
a hypocritical liking for prophesydng its
own speedy departure to the dogs and
moralizing upon its own wickedness and
degeneration. And all the time 1t Is only
talhlng.
This season has seen a strlkingly new
development CT popular taste. The bicycle
manufacturers cannot turn out their
wares half fast enough to supply the de-
mand for women's wheels. The roads
are covered with women OF every class
OF society whirling along on their little
saddles and rubber tires. Immediately
that big, hysterical voice Of the putlic
began to ask what we are coming to.
Where are the home-staying women? It
cried. What Is to become Of the eternal
feminine? She has put on a pair of bloom
ers and taken to the road. People write
solemn articles saying that this is only
one straw showing which way the wind
blows that 1t is but the beginning of a
total change in social and physical con-
dihons.
The fact is that women never more
truly showed themselves dn the character
they started out to maintain In the Gar
den of Eden than In the present craze.
1t is one that need alarm nobody. BIZ
cycling is a most healtlhful exercise, and
the hundreds Of thousands OF women who.
womanlike, have taken dt up simply be-
cause 1t is the fashion, Will derive moth
ing but good from 1t. 1t is one of the
most sensible fashions we have had for
long time.
We talk about the new woman"
There is no such thing, any more than
there Is a new man. The sociologlsts
who hold up the bFcycle-ridAng woman and
declare her a new species by comparing
her with the sweet, dropping Amallas OF
half a century ago, should take an up-to-
date business man and compare him with
the hero of an old fashioned novel. The
contrast would be, If anything, little
more striking.
The sweet, innocent maiden, submissive
and untaught, who was the grandmother
of our new woman, was herself the
granddaughter of a woman whose shrewd-
ness and fboldness we of today know little
How does our NEW woman" stand be-
fore Queen Elizabeth, Catharine of Rus
sla, the Medici Princesses, Sarah, Ouch
ess of Marlborough, or even that of Mary
of Scots, whose womahliness 10 historic
ally extolled?
This old world has tried all sorts OF
experiments. 1t takes about two gene:-
adons for 1t to forget what 1t has done
and begin all over again, The new
woman" has come up with great regular

BUY OF YOUR HOMIE DEALER.

Extract taken from the New York

and as matter of fact the purchaser
can usually buy Qn these times of sharp

so close as to yield satisfaction 10 both
purchaser and seller The actual repre-
sentatives are located only in the largest
cities, and even the representatives come
under the same burden of expenses, such
as rent, light, clerk hire, advertising and
sundries, that go to make up the cost
of sending, which has to be borne by the
dealer. Leaving aside then the larger cit
les, what special advantages In price or
terms can these itinerant "agent repre-
sentatives Of the manufacturers offer to
a customer in the smaller towns. The
average agent of this class cannot sell

away, the payments on the installment
plan Gre made to fall due at a bank
which has no discretion as to extensions
or accommodations, and IL anything hap
pens to the instrument the customer Is
left high and dry to fight it out with
the factory, which in turn refers him
to the representative" and taken all
in all the purchaser is put at dlsad-
vantage the moment a receipted bill
Is handed him. These are a few of the
disadvantages in buying from irrespon-
sfble factory representatives" and there
are a number of others equally valid.
