Among the passengers on Lancaster ave

cceded west from Thirty-seCond and Market
streets, was a welI-dressed young nan,
who sat in the corner with his coat collar
turned up, indulging in a half doze,
bag lay at bis feet, indicating that he
was returning from a journey. When the
car reached the transfer station five young
girls entered the car, accompanied by two
young men

OF Tue girls suddenly left her seat. threw
herself alongside the young man in the
corner. and, placing one arm partly around
his neck, exclaimed. why, Cousin Emer-
son, you've come at last What a fibber
You are We looked" She stopped

ried her crimson face in her handkerchief.

The young man, after recovering from his
establishment, arose from his seat. bowed
respectfully to the girI's escorts, tipped
his hat politely TO the ladies. and got off,
As the car passed on he could be seen

AUSTRIAN MINISTER Is AN EXPERT
Baron and Baroness Won Hegenmueller,
the Austrian minister and Wife, who came
TO Washington at the outset OF the past
winter, have now become expert bicycle
riders. They are large, handsome. and
observation-disclosures couple, and their
rides upon the wheel, therefore. excite
no end of admiring comment from passers-
by.
When they first decided to learn they did
not care to so to the bicycle establishment
at which the greater number of society
people learned TO ride. 1t was therefore
arranged that they should have a teacher
sent TO their residence, and there way
from curious eyes, they were initiated
into the mysteries of bicycling
TIE Misses Pauncefote, daughters Of
the British ambassador, have added to
hot -
year by learning to ride upon the bicycle
They are always fond of all out of door
sports, and are fine tennis as well as
golf players. 1t is, therefore. not 10 be
wondered at that they should excel in
bicycling.
BICYCLE CARNIVAL.
The Misses de Mendoza, daughters OF
the Brazilian minister, have for some
months past been riding bicycles. They
are now expert in the art, and frequently
enjoy a long ride either together or in
company with parties OF their friends
All society. Generally these rides, when
they take place in daylight, are out around
the suburbs of the city.
At the beginning of the past winter there
was considerable talk of a mid-winter
carnival for the fashionables who rode the
bicycle The great pageant was to have
made the start from Dupont Circle and
Connecticut avenue was To have been the
chosen parade ground. For some reason
that fell through and when the season fairly
opened was no more heard Of
AS matter of fact, the favorite place
with the members of the diplomatic corps,
and society generally who ride the bicycle, is
the great open space back of the Presidents
mansion, Executive driveway" as it is
sometimes called now, since the old name OF
white Lott has been abandoned by the
There the bicyclers congreSate in large
all during the spring and autumn
evenings directly after dark, for as yet

Diplomats Proficient
Upon the Shining Wheel
Russian and Austrian Ministers Are Expert Riders,
and the Chinese Attaches, in Gay Costumes,
Are Bicycle Devotees.

bilities contains no such clause in regarC
to the matter
Mr. Ny Chung, the interpreter and at
tache, was the first member OF the Chinese
legation to gather up his silken skirt at
the middle of the hem in front, and fasten
them with a big pin at the waistband in
front and go whirling away from the as
tonished gaze of his friends and associ
ates at the legation on big bicycle fitted
out with all the latest Improvements in
the way of pneumatic tires and such things
The truth is that Mr. Chung was an
expert cycler even before coming to Wash
ington, having gained his knowledge of
the "horseless carriage" as the Brit
ishers dub the wheel, during his residence
in London before he was attached to the
legation in this country.
LEARNED IT IN LONDON.
Mr.. II. w. Hoo, another attache of the
legation, is quite a proficient rider of
the bicycle, having, like Mr.. Chung, learned
the art during his stay in London. His
duties confine him at the legation, however,
at the present time to such extent that
he has little time for the Indulgence of
this pleasure.
Were the bicycle used as the vehicle
of transportation for persons making calls
in the fashionable world, it would be inn
mediately adopted by every member of the
ever. it is not likely that the Minister
viii be induced to endanger life and limb
in learning to ride the shining but de-
lusive wheel.
Mr.. SEE, attache of legation, and his
young brother, Mr.. Alfred SZe, both ride
the bicycle constantly, and are proficient
in the matter of making records of speed.
Mr.. Alfred SZe is student at the Wash
ington High School and rides to and from
school every day upon his bicycle. As
he always wears his national costume his
appearance never fails to excite consid-
erable interest among the scholars.
Each one of the riders named owns his
own bicycle and generally goes for long
ride on the outskirts OF the city and along
the country roads every fine morning, quite
early before the majority of the inhab-
itants of the city are astir, returning with
fine appetite for breakfast.
PICTUR ESQUE ORTENTALs.
1t is picturesque sight to witness the
start or catch a glimpse of the Orientals,
in their gay colored silk garments OF every
hue and color, mounted upon their bicycles,
their close fitting caps ornamentcd with
the red and blue buttons of rank, and the
long, finely-plaited queues flying out be-
hind with the rapidity of the ride, the fresh

AHEAD OF ALL ITS RIVALS
Everybody in Camp Washington
Thought The Times the Best Paper.
Its Reports Were Fuller and Better
Than Any Other and II Got
There Earlier.

The Times was the paper at Camp Wash
ington. II caught the boys and it sold
| four to one of its competitors
A seas sl6unch brought them down every
morning, and they reached camp from ten
to thirty minutes ahead of its morning
rival. 1t was eagerly sought after and
the boys all bought ii before breakfast
Its reports were fair and unvarnished,
and this stood il in good stead Hundreds
of kind messages have been delivered con-
corning its enterprise and the value OF its
/ camp reports. Some of them are ap-
pended:
Gen. Ordway The Times reports OF
camp proceedings pleased me very much
They were all that could be desired. -
Major Campbell: II shall never forget
the enterprise of The Times and its kind
treatment of our battalion. The reports
Were the best in camp"
Ma jOr Suess: Couldn't have been bet
ter The Times hustled them"

ports I've ever seen coming from camp"

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.

The cornice workers protest against the
assertion Of the contract ors that the
former are themselves responsible for the
secSrity OF the scaffoldings upon which
they work They have produced proof
to the contrary. In all contracts made by
them with builders it is the latter who
are made 10 furnish the scaffolding, for,
as the cornIce workers say, they have no
tools for building such a structure
This brings us back TO the proposition
advanced in The Times a few days ago
and. indeed, upon one or two previous oc-
casions that employers ought TO be
made responsible by proper enactment OF
law for any harm which, through their
carelessness or penuriousncss, comes to
their employees. Taking a case like that
OF the cornlce workers, for instance, if a
workman were tocome tohisdeath byreason
OF the insecurity OF the scaffolding, his
widow or any one dependent upon him fora
living ought to have good ground for an
action at law against the contractor to re-
cover suitable damages. In like manner OF
course, the workman himself, if he es-
capped With his life, but were crippled.
An employe, no matter what may be the
business engaged in, has the right to as
sume and to expect that his employer Will
not put him in jeopardy of life or limb
through wanton carelessness. 1t is this
principle that furnishes the strongest ar
gument in favor OF the claims of the Ford's
Theater victims against the government,
which was IN that case was the employer
1t applies with equal force to all other en-
ployers.
The next Congress, it is to be hoped, VIII

the one that was pending in the House
Labor Committee at the last session, but
failed TO become a law.

Hold on a Serious Charge.

John Sessford, a grocery clerk, was held
in $1,000 for the grand jury in the police
court yesterday on the serious charge of
assaulting a seventeen-year-old girl.
The defendant denied the girls ailega-
dons, but could not bring forward any wit
ness to corroborate his statement.
After the case had been heard Albert
Cole, another clerk in the store in which
Sessford worked, was brought before the
bar on the charge of impeding United States
witnesses. II was shown that the man had
offered. SO to the complainant in the first
case to withdraw the charge. Judge Miller
