A new edible grain is said to have

The discovery is an important one and

This newly-discovered cereal, says

THE BICYCLE CRAZE.
Livery Stablemen Say That 1t Has Seri
ously Affected Their Profits.

Livery stablomen Say That It Has Seri-
ousIy Affected Their Profits.
The competition of the bicycle has
become serious factor in the problem
of successfully operating livery and
boarding stables. An inquiry among
number of proprietors of large and
small stables in this city brought out
the fact that their business has been
seriously intcrfered with by the bicycle
craze, says the New York Sun.
''The livery stables, and particularly
those making speciality of letting out
light traps for an afternoon Or an even
ing, feel the competition heavily" said
a livery stable man.
"The young men who formerly made
practice of taking their best girls
buggy riding all have wheels now, and
the girls have wheels, too, and they go
cycling instead Of driving. It's cheaper
and they like the exercise better.
This is more noticeable in the small
country town than in the city. The
stablemen up the state and all through
New Jersey are feeling it badly. l
have been told that some Of them have
been forced out of the business entire
ly and that others are losing money,
but are keeping on in the hope of max
ing up for it when the snow comes.
Another livery stable man said that
he thought the advent of self-propelled
vehicles would still further interfere
| with business.
s.They have proved successful in
France" he said, ''and I do not think
it will be long before Central park will
be full of them.
The riding academies do not fear the
wheel.
..The horse and the bicycle appeal to
different persons" said the manager of
one of the academies. ''Of course, those
who ride horseback will often try a
| a wheel for fun, but never think Of neg
lecting. the horse for its sake.
Nobody who is fond of horses and
accustomed to them will give them up
| for anything short OF. extreme neces-
sity. We have some patrons who use
BICYCLES as substitutes for street cars,
but not for horses. They will ride here
ON their wheels and hire horses"

DisLlKED IN BERLIN.

The German Emperor Apparently De-
lights In Annoying the Capital.
The emperor has become extremely
unpopular during his six years OF reign,
and this fact is SO patent to even q cas-
ual observer that it would be folly to
deny it. It can not be disputed, either,
saws q writer in the New York Post,
that the emperor furnishes, every little
while. abundant cause for this feeling.
Thus, by his express orders the whole
neighborhood where a military or
court ceremony is to be enacted is
everv time shut of against the popu-
lace-a precaution which William l.
never took, although the aged monarch
was, as will be remembered, the victim
of a number Of attempts on his life.
Again. government bill is now talked
of to shield still further the life of the
monarch against possible assassins.
If, however, one thing more than an
other has estranged the sympathies OF
the lower classes from the present en-
peror, it is the recent order prohibiting
the holding of the Christmas fair on
the Schlossplatz, adjoining the royal
castle, where such fair had been
going on fortnight before the holi-
davs since time immemorial. The thou
sands of petty dealers and the myriad
of small lads and aged women who,
during the fair, were given a chance to
earn few marks by selling cheap
wares of every description, and who
have now been driven into the poorer
and more thickly-populated quarters
Of the city, feel deeply aRgrieved at
this latest change. Again, the en-
peror cordially reciprocates the dislike
of the Berliners, and he simply testifies
to that fact by spending as little of his
time as he possibly can in his capital,
prefcrring the inconvenience of resid-
ing in Potsdam, with the ceaseless
riding to and fro in q railroad carriage,
to remaining in the midst of the crit
ical, sarcastic, outspoken people OF
Berlin. This studied neglect of the
capital city means more than q slap at
the local patriotism af Berlin-it means
loss of millions of marks, the money
going to the tradesaen ct other cities
and towns, especially Of Potsdam. As
an excuse this year the emperor has
given it out that the thorough renova-
ton of the old castle, inside and out,
was responsible for his late coming and
early going, but nobody here accepts
this excuse. All the less Is it accepted
because Of the undeniable distress
throughout Berlin this winter.

FATALITIES At SEA.
Large Increase shown by tie R1post .
the inspector 0easeAA


Largo Increase shown hy tho 1>oose -
the Inspector 0ensrAl
The records Of the United 6tateo
steamboat inspection service, which
during the last nineteen years haseeeA
under the direction of Gen. Dumont ~
inspector general, show that during
the last fiscal year the number OF lives
lost on steam vessels was approximate
" S68. This, says the Warrington
Post, was an increase over the average
of the preceding eighteen years ct 13s.
This great increase was caused BY the
large loss of life by the foundering Of
the steamship Colima recently OF the
Pacific coast. This makes the axerage
for the last nineteen years PAT. The
highest previous annual loss was $50,
IN 1874. The lowest was 1Ss, in 1ssa.
Notwithstanding the great increase In
the number of vessels since 1670-over
100 per cent.-there have been but $50
disasters to steam vessels, with . loss
of but 5.057 lives, the number Of pas
sengers carried per annum having in
creased from l22, $50, $50, carried in
1870, to not less than $50, ,00Q, 900, car
ried in 1892.
The average loss of life under the
law of 1859 was one person to every
50,1s1 passengers carried, while under
the act of 1871, which greatly improved
the efficiency Of the service, there was
only one life lost in each 2, ,708, ,SS8 pas
sengers carried, or q reduction in the
number of lives lost of nearly II to In
proportion to the number Of passengers
carried. The service consists Of about
175 officers and clerks, one supervising
inspector general, ten supervising in-
spectors, divided among the various
customs collection districts of the,
United States. One of the most strik-
ing instances of the benefits derived
from the powers conferred upon in
spectors under the law is the almost
entire absence of intemperance at the
present time upon the part Of licensed
officers.
An alleged defect in the laws, and
one which has caused much criticism,
is in the local inspectors power to In
vestigate the cause of boiler explosions
and casualties to steam vessels, thus
giving the inspectors the right to pass
present head of the inspection servics,
Gen. Dumont, shares in the opinion OF
the. opponents of such power, and has,
unsuccessfully however, endeavored to
have the laws amended to correct the
evil. AS long ago as 1889 he called at
tention in his annual report to the mat
ter, and suggested remedy in the
form of a bill, which, however, never
became law. The bill provided for
court of inquiry to be appointed by the
secretary of the treasury to investigate
acts of local inspectors in granting
licenses, ETC., such court to consist of
three supervising inspectors Of other
districts than the one in which the in
spector belongs. It is very likely that
this matter will again be brought be-
fore congress at the next session.

JAIL LIFE IN NEW YORK.

How q Wealthy Prisoner Fares In the
Ludlow Street Jail.
A man well known in Wall street
who is at the head of q new insurance
company not long since spent tifty-nine
days in Ludlow street jail, civil pris-
oner at the instance Of dry goods
firm. He was well supplied with spend
ing money, says the New York World,
and lacked no creature comforts during
his retirement. He described the ma
ture of the prisoner who can pay his
way as follows:
''You register as you do in hotel,
and then you are a boarder, and you
are allowed all the privileges of the
place, and for Ave or ten to the
keeper off duty you can take an even

for consideration you can stay up br

play poker and other games, in which
the keeper always takes a hand.
"After the game is over downstairs

Turk and Armenian.

/ The feeling of the Turks against the
Armenians is very bitter now. Talk OF
massacreing them is very common in
the coffee houses of Constantinople.
The situation is very critical. We do
not know what may turn up before
help arrives. We have hopes that En-
rope is going to do something for poor
ArmelAa. There will never be any
peace while the Turk is left in sole or
even leading control over Christian
subjects. Safety and equality are inn
possible for them under Moslem rule.
Joint control by European powers
would seem to be the most practicable
and beneficial method at present, rath-
er than giving it over to any one power,

Dor.

MooRs or DELAWARE.
a Cursoas People Who Live BY Themsefve
and Are vAraoualy Accounted For.


and Are varaously Accounted For.
There has been much speculation
about the so-called Moors living in
Kent and Sussex counties, Del. These
people are usually swarthy, black
haired, and black-eyed. though some
times of fair complexion. They are
mostly farmers. They have their own
schools distinct from the general pub
lie school system, and they associate
neither with whites nor with blacks.
One theory has been that they are of
the Moorish race, and that their ances-
tors were Spanish Moors wrecked on
the coast more than . century ago.
Another tradition represents them as
descendants of the Nanticoke Indians.
George P. Fisher, q lawyer long prac-
ticing in Delaware, writes to the Mil
ford Herald to present what he regards
as satisfactory evidence as to the origin
of these people. He has been ac-
quainted with these people all his life.
Noke Norwood. q giant OF the tribe,
erect and black-haired at seventy-6ve
he knew from childhood. When Mr..
Fisher became attorney general OF the
state he was called upon to prosecute
Levin Sockum, one of the race, for sell
ing ammunition to Isaiah Harmon OF
the same race, the Indictment having
been found under q statute of Delaware
making it q misdemeanor to sell arms or
ammunition to any negro or mulatto.
Harmon was man OF twenty years,
with excellent Caucasian features.
dark chestnut hair, rosy cheeks and
hazel eyes. Mr.. Fisher thought him the
handsomest man, in the courtroom.
Nevertheless, Lydia Clark, kins-
woman of Harmon, testified for the
state that, according to family tradition,
some years before the revolutionary
war broke out, when she was little
girl, their ancestress, woman OF Irish
birth, owning and cultivating farm in
the Indian river hundred, Sussex coun-
ty, few miles from Lewes, bought of
q SLAYER that was driven into Lewes
creek negro slave who professed to
be chief of one of the Congo tribes.
The woman, whose name was Regua,
shortly after married her slave, and her
children, not being allowed to associate
with the whites, intermarried with the
remnant of the Nanticoke Indians, then
still living in Sussex county. The wit
ness, a very old woman, looked like an
Indian of pure blood.
These people for several generations
were confined principally to the south
eastern part of Sussex county, but have
since gone into Kent county, and even
northward into Newcastle county.
They have always refused to associate
with the colored people. Although
chiefly engaged in farming, they have
managed to pick up sufficient mechan-
ical skill to build their own houses.
Mr.. Fisher says that they are thrifty,
industrious, frugal and law abiding.
He has known of but two instances
where one of the race was brought into
court for a violation of law. One case
was that of Sockum and the other of
man charged with attempted murder.
but acquitted. ..M

HAS RECOVERED.
Holmes Lawyer Has the Nerve to
Deny the Testimony of the De-
tectiye.

PHILADELPHIA Nov. 19.-The SEN
sational developments in the Holmes
case yesterday, which eliminated in
the gE at criminals chief counsel,
Lawyer William A. Shoemaker becom-
ing a prisoner on the charge OIL sub
ornation of perjury was the chief topic
of conversation in legal circles today.
AS yet the judges have taken no fur
Their action in the case of the accused
lawyer, beyond holding him in bail.
Today Mr.. Shoemaker had so far re-
covered his composure as to deny
most emphatically the testimony Of
Detective Schwechler. He declares he
was the victim of a trap set by
Schwechler, who, he claims approached
him and said he had discovered evil
dence in the shape of a statement
made by Mrs. Blanche Hannigan in
which she claimed that she heard Pit
Eel speak about, committing suicide.
Shoemaker says Schwechler said he
had found the woman in Woodbury.
n. J., and that she was willing to
make affidavit to what she knew
Shoemaker then, on the strength of
the woman's alleged statements, pre-
pared the affidavit and told the detec-
tive to bring her to his office. When
she appeared he had no reason to be-
lieVe that she was other than Mrs
Hannigan. He said he intended to
question her, but she said she was in
a hurry. Eventually she signed the
affidavit and was paid $40.
