LONDON, Dec. s. 5-Referring to the sen,

today regarding the assem- cling Of a Rus.
sian squadron off Setastcpol II was semi
officially stated here this afternoon that
for years past the Russian Black Sea feet

pendent action.

spirits were administered and the tenn
perature Is lower and the general ten
dency is to parslyze. Or. Crothers said
that the discrimination between the
different kinds Of liquor, and TO say that
brandy Is good for one condition and
whisky or beer or wine for another, Is
almost childish, because the alochol Is
eXsctly the same in all of them and that
Is the only ingredient which has any
physiological effect whatever.
One OF the most familiar, and at the
same time most interesting points OF the
alcohol question which DIR. Crothers
brought up was that nowadays nearly
every problem based upon the mental
capacity OF man or woman turns upon
the question OF his or her use or non-use
OF spirits, snd TO illustrate the doctor
said that at the present time there is a
will case pending in the State of Rhode
Island, involving two millions of dollars.
which must lie decided upon the opinion
of physicians, relative TO the capacity of
the testator to dispose OF his property
while addicted TO the use of alcoholic
stimulants.
DR.. Crothers also made the almost
sensational statement that any man who
drinks alcohol is not sane.
President Clark invited DR.. William II.
Palmer TO open the discussion OF the pa
per and that physicians made an interesting
comparison of the different views which
the jurist and the physician take OF the
responsibility for his acts of the inebriate.
But for his own part he thought he
should speak in behalf of justice and
punishment rather than for the plea for
leniency which comes from medicine.
There are too many scoundrels who ex-
cuse themselves by the theories that are
advanced by science relative to their men

Dr.Jay Perkins commenced raper or
the Treatment of Pulmonary Tcbercu-
losis' by presenting mass of statistics
relative 10 deaths from consumption, from
which he deduccd the encouraging fact
that the number of deaths from this par
ticular cause had decreased in the last
five years. In concluding his long and
carefully prepared paper on consumption
DIR. Perkins advocated two things-thRt

treated as a case of typhoid or pneumo-

fully informed as TO the true nature of his
ailment and the details of his case.

Howard c. Gardner Found
Dead This Morning.
Received a Shock at the Elec-
trio Lighting Plant.
Burns on the Body Showed the
Cause of Death.

1t would be difficult to conceive a moro
incongruous or sgonizing spectacle than
that which greeted Mr.. Harry K. Gard
ner when he entered the switch board room
OF the Narragansett Electric Light Com
pany this morning, for there on the floor
lay the dead body of his son, Howard {.
Garoner. 1t was singular fatality that
the father should be the first TO find the
body, through which 2000 or more volts of
unsdulterated electricity had passed but
short time before speeding the young
mans life TO that bourne whence no
traveller returns. The exact time and
manner of the dreadful fatality is
shrouded somewhat in mystery.
From what can he learned, however,
II seems that the boy, who was about 10
years old, was employed in the switch
board room night times and it is sup
posed that about 6 O'Clock this morn ing
he took hold of two plugs at once and
the shock was too powerful. II burned
the lower side of his left hand and arm
TO the elbow and burned away the thum b
OF the right hand. He fell 20 the floor
and probably died at once. The father,
who Is employed there days, went to
work as usual shortly afterward, and, as
stated, was the first 10 see the horrible
sight. His feelings may better be imag-
ined than described.
As IL was not improbable that some life
might remain, every step was taken to
resuscitate the youth. The Rhode Island
Hospital ambulance, accompanied by the
hospital physician, DR.. Palmer, and after
wsrd DIR. Swarts, was summoned. The
physicians did all possible bu, in vain,
ana it was decided that death had been
instantaneous.
The Gardners belong in Pawtucket, so
little is known of th.m here, except that
they are an excellent family.

CARE OF THE WHEEL.

1t has been claimed that a wheel is
expensive because of constant repairs
That may be true in some cases, but it
is only where the wheel has not been
given the proper care and attention.
Most people who ride wheels seem to
forget that they are machines. and many
Of them Of very delicate working parts,
too. The work Of properly caring for a
wheel is not great, and few simple
rules carefully followed out would save
many dollars in repair bills.
First, clean your wheel every day it is
in use. Wipe the dust carefully from
the frame, and especially from the axles,
pedals and crank boxes.
Keep the chain clean and well oiled.
1t should not be too tight nor too loose
Once a week the chain shauld be taken
from the wheel, soaked in a little coal
oil or gasoline, wiped clean and then
soaked in cycle oil, so that all the many
joints may be well oiled. This will pre-
vent broken chain, and perhaps a
broken limb. II chain is In need Of
oil it will become tight on the sprocket

in a branches.

wheel and the wheel will run hard.
Whenever that occurs it should be Civ
en- oil at once, and as soon as passible it
should be taken off and thoroughly
washed and oiled as described above.
III your wheel runs hard it is an indi-
cation that it has not been properly
cared fo., and il it is given attention at
once it may save a large repair bill.
A good wheelman should be machin-
list enough to take his wheel apart and
once month, when a wheel is in con-
slant use, it should be taken apart and
the bearings thoroughly cleaned and
oiled.
The busy clerk can easily find the
fifteen minutes to after to his wheel
each morning and his expense need not
exceed 30 cents per month. or course
there are accidents to look for. but the
bareful rider seldom has one. Punctur
ed tires can easily be mended. and most
accidents seldom result in more than a
broken rim. which, If wood, costs about
sl.5O to $500 for new rim and repairs
Avoid scorching unless in the open
country where you have a good road
and plenty of room, and accidents will
be few and far between if you have
taken proper care Of your wheel.

A BLOOMER DANCE.

On recent evening in Chicago, at the
jackson Park pavilion, a bloomer dance
was given which was called the first
bloomer dance ON record" As a matter
of fact this may be true from the fact
that it was gotten up and participated
in as bloomer dance only. But the
ladies and gentlemen of the Capital
City Cycling Club have to my know
ledge had two impromptu bloomer
dances in the auditorium OF the little
theatre out at Lincoln Park and en-
joyed them.
The Chicago blonmer dance, however,
was pre-arranged affair and was parti-
cipateu in by members of some Of the best
families in the city. The subscribers
were E. A. Brush, E. Noble, f. 1. Wolf,
w. Weist, George Mckay. George W..

G. Jerrems, DR.. w. s. Fowler, George

r. B. Chase and tt. E. Vossiller.
The function was attended by over
four hundred cyclists and five thousand
people viewed the gathering and were
bewildered by the spectacle. Then they
strolled out to the shore of the lake and
proceeded to recall their their thoughts
from the trip of wool gathering on
which the sight of more than two hun
dred maids and matrons in boomers
had started them.
That the girl in boomers enjoyed it
right through is admitted by every men,
bee of the press in the city of Chicago.
That she was chic and captivating in
the costume was also admitted. She
danced with the same enthusiasm that
she rides her wheel and was not the
least bit conscious. The girl who went
to the dance in the conventional skirt
and there we're number Of tbem-did
not enjoy herself hugely either when
the mnsic was playing or when the
musicians were resting. She was not
sought as partner and the general
expression Of the spectators was that
she was just little out Of place.
The dance was limited to cyclists. 1t
was at first decided by the committee
that no girl or woman not wearing
boomers should be allowed on the
floor. But the committee finally admit
ted any who wished to participate,
whether in skirt or boomers. There

THE C.
were one or two young women in knick-
erbOckers present. but they were natur-
ally not considered '.iust correct by the
bloomer girl
An idea Of the varied character Of the
costumes worn by those present can be
gathered from the following paragraph
which appeared in the Record Of the
morning following.
Mrs. G.. w. Barr wore a brown cap,
black leggirgs, red sweater and bloom
ers.
Miss May Alexander was dressed in q
blue broadcIoth Elton jacket, white
shirtwaist, black leggings and boomers
Miss Edith Brandt wore a white
sweater, grey leggings and grey worsted
boomers.
Mrs. H. F. Palmer wore a jaunty
cloth jacket and boomers.
Mrs. NJ. G. Simon wore a red sweater
and brown boomers.
Miss Fleta Harris was "gowned' in
gray worsted boomers.
Miss Stella Westlake wore a white
shirtwaist and gray boomers.
The dancing was kept up until mid
night and then the bloomer girls and
their escorts went to 57th street and
Stony Island avenue where their wheels
had been checked and rode home dis
cussing the events Of the evening.
The gathering was the result Of four
weeks work on the part OF an enthus-
iastic cyclist who conceived the idea
and who when he confided it to his
friends was promptly sa. down upon.
THE girls will wear bloomers when
on their wheels all right they said to
him, "but you won't get them to partici-
pate in a dancing soiree in that cos
tune"
Just you wait and see," said the en-
thusiast with the idea.
And the result more than justified
his prophesy.
And the men? They were just captur-
ed in body by the fair, dancing bloom
erists.
"Bloomers beat dresses all to pieces"
said one Of the men who danced. They
don't interfere with the fun. you can't
step on them, nor tear them and you
don't have to get carriage to take the
girl home. Boomers are all right
That dance wonld have cost me
seven dollars under any other circum-
stances than going and returning on
the Wheel said another escort. AS it
was, l mounted my wheel, called for
my best girl and we peddaled out and
back. and enjoyed the whole evening
and did not have to face the expendi-
ture of half my weeks salary either. I
hope bloomei dances will become pop
ular."
