Timely Topics

the California Woman's
Christian Temperance Union,
on the occasion of the annual
convention of that body in San
Francisco, contained a passage
which takes strong ground on
the benefits of the bicycle. In
speaking of physical culture
and the relation of the clothes
to the subject, she said:
"All know the value of a
strong unhindered body. For
this reason the Punishment of
the corset andrestricting bands
is a foregone conclusion.
Dress reform has pressed its
claims for forty years, with lit
tie progress till the bicycle,
that graceful, silent Steed of
motion, daSheS through and
bursts open the door OF preJu-
dice. This mystic wheel that
we meet on every road and
street is the mute but telling
advocate of dress reform. "
1t has its virtues as we'll as its
charms. 1t invites, yea, de-
mands, simplicity in dress. 1t
encourages physical exercise
and utterly refuses to carry a
drunken rider. Unlike the
horse, it balkS when touched
by the hand of inebriety. 1t
inconvenience and diScour-
ages the use Of cigars and cigar
cites to the number of $1,000,
600 year. In short, the wheel
is a reformer, and, though, it
came not through the virtue of
moral conception, we should
welcome its presence as we do
the advent of every new in
vention and corporate edict
bearing the balm of Sobriety,
with the promise of stronger
and better men and women.
This is a straightforward eX-
preston from an able woman
who led the California forces
of one of the greatest National
organizations ever instituted
for the uplifting of the race.
The dignity and earnestness
characterize her opinion
cast into the shades the hallow
objections which some physi-
clans have made to the bicycle.
Mrs. Peet gives us to under
stand that in the sole aspect Of
women to dress SEN
Sibly this simple instrument of
loComotion has accomplished
more at a dash than the preach
erS on sensible dress for wo-
men have been able to bring
about in nearly half a century.
With so eminent an indorse-
ment as this, even the most
timid woman who is not held
in what amounts to physical
restraint by father, husband or
brother from obeying an in
stinctive impulse to dress ra-
tionally and enjoy life and
health on a bicycle, may at
least console herself with the
infection that her impulse was
right and lament that she was
born a few years too soon.
In addition to the above
Mrs. Peet might have mention
ed the saving in labor attained
by the patent sprocket attach
ed to the Tribune wheel, which
amounts to over IS per cent,
no small desideratum when
ladies are concerned.
The Tribune is the wheel
par excellence for ladies' use,
it has the newest patents and
Improvements and can be run
with IS per cent less work
than any other wheel in exist

jealousy. Mrs. Hiatt, she believed,
had estranged the affections of her
husband. The would-be murderess
was turned over to the officers OF
the'rounty, and now languishes in
Jail, while her victim, though still
living, Is beyond hope Of recovery.

SHORT NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
The Majority of the People. Said to
Favor This Commendabl Plan,

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.--The Times
Herald this morning publishes
personal letters from seventy
editors Of great newspapers in all
parts of the United States, the
majority of whom favor a short
presidential campaign. The same
paper says: "The national COM
mittee men who will soon meet
and settle this question need not
go astray if they desire to record
the wishes of their constituents
and the people. If put to a test
tomorrow ninety per cent of the
voters would declare for a short
campaign. The only opposition
comes from the professional cor
ruptioniSts and their hired retain
ers. There are not wanting signs
that the people are thoroughly
tired and disguised with the oper-
ations of these conspirators who
WELD so potent an influence in
shaping the politics of the nation
al parties. If long campaign
and its attendant miseries is forced
on the country, the blame will be
placed where it belongs and the
responsible party will suffer the
consequences"
OF the seventy editors whose
opinions are given by the Times
Herald, nearly all favor a cam
paign which shall extend over not
more than two months and while
two-thirds of the writer's express a
preference for September as the
time for holding national conven-
tions of both parties, many believe
June or July to be the proper
months.

presidential term to two years and
the campaigns will adjust them
selves, and what they lack in
length will be made up in fire.

Thieying Fishermen Blamed.

NEW YORK, September 3O.-The
steamer Antilliar, which has ar
rived at quarantine from Nashua,
brought eight passengers, which
she took out from New York on her
last voyage to Nashua. The men
are all Cubans and left this port
with the apparent intention of
proceeding to Cuba with a quantity
Of arms and ammunition which had
been left on Grassy bay. Unfortu-

them on board their vessel and
proceeded to Nashua, where they
we're seized by the authorities. The
eight Cubans seem much disheart-

MAJOR ARMIES CASE.
LIKELY HE WILL BE RELEASED
His Arrest Ordered Merely to Pun
Ish Him For His Letter
to SchofieId.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Major
Armes, who was arrested Friday
evening upon the order OF General
Schofield, acting secretary Of war,
because of an Objectionable letter
written by him to the secretary OF
war, has been released by Justice
Bradley on a writ of habeas corpus.
The petition stated that both de-
PENDANT and petitioner are citizens
of the United States and related
that the petitioner was arrested
and confined upon an alleged or.
der for no offense recognized by
any law. The petitioner prayed
that he might be brought into
court and the defendant made to
show cause why the petitioner
should not be set free. Judge
Bradley ordered that the prisoner
be released to appear before him
Saturday next.
Gen. Schofield said that he re.
GREETED exceedingly having been
forced to take the action he did in
the case OF Major Armes, but be-
ing acting secretary Of war at the
time he felt obliged to order his ar
rest solely in the interest Of mill
tary discipline and without regard
to personal consideration. II he had
not been acting as secretary OF
war, he said he would have ig-
nored the incident altogether. Gen.
Schofield added that it was far
from his purpose to do an unkind
act to any one on the eve Of his re-
tirement. Though he was forced to
do so in the present case, he did
not purpose, however, to do any
thing further in the premises, leav-
ing the case entirely in the hands
of Secretary Lamont, who will re-
turn to the city this evening or to-
morrow. The facts in the case will
be laid before the secretary for his
action, but Gen. Schofield says he
will make no formal charges
against Major Armes. He said he
had always been friendly toward
the latter and did not understand
his enmity.
Under the regulations Of the
army, the charges against Maj.
Armes, il any are made, must be
filed within eight days from the
time OF his arrest and he must be
brought to trial within ten days
from the date of filing Of charges.
In case no charges are made against
him and he is not brought to trial,
he must be released at the expira-
ton OF thirty days after the ten
day limit for the trial, or at the
expiration of forty days from the
date on which he should have been
brought to trial. In some cases
this mode OF punishment has been
practiced, the offender simply be-
ing confined to the forty-day limit
without trial. During this period
the confinement may be %'limited."
II "limited," the prisoner may be
given the freedom OF the post in
which he is confined, the city ad-
jacent to the post or even the state
or territory in which the post is
located. The conditions of the i'm
p&sonment are regulated by the
secretary of war. Up to the pres
ent no charges have been filed
against Maj. Armes and Gen. Scho-
field disclaims any such intention.
The latter ordered Armes under
arrest because of insubordination,
and will simply refer the object
ionable letter written to him to the
secretary OF war without recon-
mendation or comment, leaving
the latter free to act as he deems
advisable.
