BELL AND BICYCLE.

Our friends, the bicycle riders, may as
well bear in mind that the citys bell or
dinance is not designed to relieve them
OF any responsibility as drivers OF We
hicles. The bell is designed TO help them
in their responsibility and to warn foot
passengers, but the responsibility for run
ming down or driving over foot passen-
gers remains still with the bicycle man.
There are riders about town who behave
as il they had an idea that when they
ring the bell that ends their responsible
ity, and 1t is then the business OF the
passer-by TO do the rest and look out for
himself But this is evidently not so.
The foot passenger is not bound to pay
any attention to the bell and the bicycle
rider is bound to keep clear Those
bumptious riders who rush through the
street, ringing their bells, footing their
whistles, yelling "look out, "and evidently
expecting everybody to scatter and give
them the right Of way, assume privilege
which not even a trolley car possesses.

TO MAKEAKIss HARMLESS.


1t isa fortunate provision OF nature
and science that remedy follows
promptly ON the discovery OF a disease.
The general alarm that has been created
throughout the entire kissable population
OF the world over the matter of the trans
mission of wic<edly-inclined microbes
through the process OF osculation has
been ameliorated, II not entirely APP
peased, ,by the prompt action of the health
department of Chicago which has pro-
mulgated the following valuable sug-
gestion
"Do not let others kiss you indiscrimi-
nately, and never without first wiping
your lips with carbolized rosewater and
thoroughly drying them"
The relief that will be afforded by this
suggestion is incalculable. AS one doc
tor observes: "The matter OF kissing
should be attended with the utmost de-
Liberation. A kiss once given can never
be recalled. They should not be thought
lessly bestowed. II, for instance, when
two women meet upon the street, think
how much better it would be for them TO
bow, smile, then back away few PAGES
and anoint their lips with carbolized
rosewater, which could be carried in a
vinaigrette suspended from the belt. Then
by the time they had carefully dried their
lips they could approach ana decorously
exchange salutes. At the seaside and in the
mountains supply OF this carbolized
rosewater would, in my opinion, be in
valuable. 1t should be an indispensable
adjunct for every summer girl, for it is
hard to tell what exigencies might arise
The use of such precautions might pre-
vent the giving Of kisses prompted by a
mere caprice, and encourage the trans
mission Of those which are given from
feelings Of the deepest affection"
Hereafter, bottle of rosewater should
be in every pocket-for nobody can tell,
not always, when a kiss is likely to be
received. There is often such an absence
OF premeditation about this business, and
the stolen kiss Is proven bially the most
desirable, as II accordingly becomes the
most dangerous, unless the habit of carry
ing about bottle of carbolized rosewater
is contracted early in life and the bottle
used promptly at the faintest suspicion
that kiss may be impending.
There is likely to be great boom In
carbolized rosewater.

HOLM ES.

| riom stuuy Vi INC personality anu
physical characteristics OF. III. III. HOLMES
in the New York Herald, a study that IL
decidedly unsatisfactory in its results by
reason OF the failure OF the student to
come to any important decision, VIZ
should say that this criminal is about the
most incomprehensible chap that ever
lived, quite as amazing in his personality
as is his extraordinary list of crimes. We
should think that criminologists would
find him q most absorbing subject, al
though to regard so horrible criminal
in the cold light Of science may pass most
peoples patience.
HOLMES stands accused of more num-
erous and more horrible series of assas-
sinations than has been charged up to the
account OF any criminal OF recent years
that we can recall, and murder has not
been his only crime. He seems to have
delighted in crime, in deception, in plot
tings OF the most evil kind, necessary
factor OF which with him seems neces-
sariiy to have ::been that, whatever the
crime, it should involve rare elaboration
and deep plotting. The mania for decep-
tion, intricate deception, seems to have
been at the bottom Of everything he has
done, and this mania is further expressed
in his love for lying in every word he
speaks. He is an elaborate liar. His lies
are artistic In their careful workmanship
And he evidently takes pride in build
ing them.
The real name OF this atrocious charac-
ter is MUDoETT, and he was born in New
Hampshire in as simple and quiet hu-
man community as exists on the earth,
perhaps. He began his evil career early
IN life, and the opening up OF that career
to public knowledge has so far developed
ten murders and an unaccountable lot of
minor crimes, including bigamy. theft
and perjury. lie married women and de-
serted them and he took human life with
equal composure.
And yet this amazing fiend presents in
his physical characteristics only the faint
est OF the commonly marks Of
of even a minor criminal. lie is man Of
more than the average intellect and in
telligence, educated, young and good
looking, with gentle eyes and manner
almost as pleasant as II is invariably com.
posed. He has none Of the commonly ac-
cepted "bsd habits" OF men. lie is vain
beyond measure, loves notoriety and lies
astoundingly. These are almost his only
indications OF the possession OF traits that
mark the criminal and these are the pos
session also OF many men who are not
criminals. Yet the most atrocious crimes.
performed in the most fendish way.
having for their object the most wretched
Of purposes, and always done with hend-
ish eoldness and calculation, are laid at
his door. What manner OF man he can
be may well prove an interesting problem.

SLAUGHTER OF MISSIONARIES.

The civilized world will now turn fro IN
Armenia to China, where a massacre OF
English speaking people will probably
command from England rather more
vigorous and certain policy than has dis
tinguished the Imperial disposition
toward Turkey
1t is a horrible story, even the outline
ketch, OF what has been going on at
Kucheng, the murder of eight mission
aries, all women, and five children and
the wounding or manning of others.
Every nation that is represented in mis-
sionary work will have a common interest
TO have the murderers brought to swift
justice We do not recall in recent times,
and in a country that however we may re-
gard 1t as uncivilized and of heathen re-
ligion is yet not people OF savages, any
thing to parallel the slaughter of these
missionary women and children at
Kucheng. And If ii turns out to be true
that Chinese officials have not been lis
pleased at the work of their people and
have been in sympathy with, even if not
open abettors of this awful business, civ
ilization may seek to do work of regen-
Grafton in China through the media OF
weaDons less peaceful than those of the
missionaries.

Search Light Display.

Those fortunate enough to reside along
the shores OF Narragansett Bay were
treated to brilliant sight Saturday even
ing, that OF search lights of steamers
Connecticut of the Providence line and
the Chatham OF the Merchant and Miners
line. The search light on the former
steamer has been thoroughly overhauled
lately, and IL being dark Saturday even
ing the effects were beautiful. The lights
OF both steamers were thrown from one
side of the river TO the other, and the
residents returned the compliment by
burning colored fire, and some of the
more liberal ones sent up sky rockets.
