MIR. CANNON AS A CYCLIsT.
He is Riding the Silent Steed-Other
Legislators Doing the Same Thing.


Mr.. Cannon of Illinois has been admitted
to membership in the Congressional Bicy-
Gle Club. He appeared at the Capitol yes
terday morning astride of a brand-new
| wheel, but with a big dab of mud down one
side of his body, showing he had not been
astride of his wheel all the way up.
1t was a great surprise to the wondering
| multitude to see Cannon the dgnifed, Can
non the austere, circling around the Capitol
plaza, his honest face stamped with that
| look of anxiety, of intense preoccupation
and attention to business which character
| ICES the bicycle beginner. But Mr.. Cannon
| is just the kind Of man to reck not how the
multitude may wonder nor likewise what
| they think. The time has come when he
needs the bicycle in his business, and he
| p1 opposes to use it.
No Dignity Lost.
1t is true Mr.. Cannon does not lose any Of
his dignity nor abate one iot or title of his
austerity when he mounts his wheel
Whether afoot or in the saddle, he is the
same, and he carries on the bicycle the de-
meanor that he wears on the floor of the
House when weighty questions are up. 1t
cannot be denied that when his wheel
suddenly SHES at a piece of paper in the
read, proceeding familiar to the first
stages of curbing the naughty and high
strung bicycle, the watchful spectator might
non s dignihe1 bearing, but it is Il weakness
as temporary as the alteration of his silent
steed. and he RECEIVERS mis- dignity as he re-
gains his balance in the saddle
Mr.. Canncn's example is Aeing followed by
numbers of Representatives and Senators,
VINO ind the bicycle of great use to them in
the transaction of their business around the
departments and the Capitol. as well as af-
tofdlng means OF obtaining much needed
exercise. After four or five hours s,,cnt in
the enervatins and disease-laden atmcs-
phere Of the Capitol building, no one but
those VINO experience 1t can appreciate the
relief that comes with a spin through the
fresh air and over the wide asphalted
streets of the city.
A Serious Question.
The disposition of The bicycles at the
Capitol while their owners are at work has
become a serious question. A number OF
wheels have been stolen recently, and Mis-
souri, Representative lost one this week Col
Bfisht, the serseant-at-arms of the Senate
says he realizes the bicycle has come to
stay, that 1t Is a business necessity, and he
Is oeVlslng means to afford protection for
the hundred or more wheels at the Capitol.

Killed by q Single BLOW.

LA PORTE, Ind, April s.-A murder was
committed here yesterday, tho victim be-
ing Henry Fabenheim, house painter,
aged 26 years, whose sdeath resulted from
single blow of his father in laws fist.
Fabenheim had q long time terrorized his
young wife, being especially abusive when
drinking. About l o'clock yesterday
morning, while intoxicated, he went to his
home, where both families live in a double
house. He at once commenced to abuse
his wife, and finally choked her. Her
screams awakened her father, Jacob OFT,
and as he entered the door she warned him
to be careful, as her husband was armed
with u hammer. Without further ado
OFT struck him powerful blow in the
head with his fist knocking him senseless.
He soon revived, however, but commenced
to spit blood, and died in q few hours.
