HARRISON A FOE TO wHEELwOMEN
The ex-PresIdeht Objects to Femi-
nine Cyclists and Gum-Chewers.
From the New York World.

indianapolis, July SIT was said here
to-day that while President Harrison was
at Dana last week, hunting. the subject
of bicycling came up for discussion, and he
expressed himself most emphatically upon
it, taking the ground that it was ungrace-
full in ladies to ride bicycles.
He is reported to have said that he did
not believe there could ever be any loy E
matches made on wheels. and the time of
late when he most wished that he had his
gun was when he saw a woman riding a
wheel and chewing gum.
The statement is hardly credited by his
friends, but people at Dana say that the
conversation took place and he expressed
himself unreservedly as given here.
Mrs. Mckee took lessons in bicycle riding
for several weeks, and is said to be quite
proficient, though it is not known that
she has ever ventured out upon the road
with her wheel.

SHE is 8 FEET 2.
A Missouri Giantess Who VIII Not
Enter "A Museum or Circus.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
A young woman of 20 years, who lives
in Pince, Mo, is more than eight feet tall.
Miss Ella Ewing is her name She was
educated in the remote settlement and will
not leave it, Thus it happens that very
few people have ever seen Miss Ewing,
although her fame has spread far and
wide by word Of mouth.
To be more exact on the subject of Miss
Ewing, 1t may be mentioned that although
she weighs 29O pounds, her hight of eight
feet two inches saves her from any appear
ance of obesity. On the contrary, she
impresses one as gracefully slender, and
this impression is confirmed by her taste
in dressing. Miss Ewing prefers quiet col
ors in her attire. Her hair is usually seen
coiled closely about her head and curled
in front Her features are naturally large
otherwise they would be insignificant
Her eyes are of that varying hue common
to neither the blonde nor brunette type of
beauty, but suggestive of a combination
of both. Her hands are large, but they
taper in the fingers, and never seem I'M
calmly She wears rings on three of her
fingers, and not infrequently jeweled
bracelets adorn her wrists Her shoe is
seventeen inches long exactly, and her
arms are decidedly lengthy.
But impressive as these physical charac-
teristics of the young lady are, they would
not have given her anything but notoriety
were they not combined with qualities to
which she is indebted for her fame as the
sanity giantess. The Rev. George w
Sharp, one of the most successful of the
missionaries of the American Sunday
School Union, has had occasion to pay a
glowing tribute more than once to the
record Miss Ewing has made in her church
work
In the matter of physical strength, this
young girl might arouse the jealousy of
even Mr. Sandow. The tasks which two
men together might feel an embarrass-
ment in undertaking are accomplished by
her with the utmost ease. There is some
difficulty in being precise on this point,
however, because the young lady shrinks
from any display of her accomplishments
in this direction. The fact that she is a
giantess, and sanity one in the bargain,
is not an occasion of fake pride in her.
On the contrary she is averse to notice
of this sort, and that is why her excur-
sions are rarely further off than the coun-
try round about her village home. She
will not be induced to enter circus or
to exhibit herself, notwithstanding the
temptating offers that have been made
her. Her feats of strength, therefore, have
not been seen except by her immediate
friends.
Mr.. and Mrs Ewing. the parents of this
wonderful girl, are devoted to their child.
and feel a great pride in all her qualities.
her father is himself six feet high and the
mother is of more than medium hight.
