Charley Johnson is now studying
astronomy, with the aid of Rordame's
telescope, from the roof of his labora-
tory. Charley has always been known
as great admirer of Venus.
The story has been wired abroad that
Lord Sholto Douglas and his concert
hall bride will make Los Angeles their
home. He says he is going into bust
ness, but just what business it
is is nobody's business. The
observant newspaper man insists
that Douglas watches the foreign
weather reports very assiduously,
and the denizens of the City of Angels
can always tell what kind of weather
they are having in London by a glance
at the bottom of "me lud's" ''tWou-
sers.''
Dunraven has virtually announced
that he will never again enter a con-
test for the Americas cup. 1t is well
that the forty-four-year contest should
end as it begun-without a second.
In the first race for the cup in 1851,
this cup was raced for around the Isle
of Wight, and fleet of cutters and
schooners took part in it. The Ameri-
can schooner yacht America won it.
The America was the last vessel to
start, but her lead was SO great on
her return that when the queen, who
had offered the cup, asked who was
first, she was answered:
Arnn q ia
"Who is second?" was her next
query.
There is no second, your majesty
was the sad reply Of the English Of
fetal
The bicycle craze in Gotham has
plunged the livery stable men into the
deepest mourning. Nearly all the big
family hotels and high-class apartment
houses uptown have set aside a large
apartment in the basement regions as
a storage room for their guests bicy-
cles. The clerk of an uptown hotel
said recently that at least so per cent
of their guests-the old as well as the
young-owned wheels, and as their
case was not exceptional, he considered
that the books of New York hotels
of all kinds would show a deficit in
carriage charges of at least 5000, 900,
traceable directly to the preference Of
customers for the wheel Leading car
riage builders, who admit falling off
Of half million dollars in the past
years local and country trade through
the wheeling craze, and the losses Of
men in the collateral lines, such as
harness-makers, horse-shoers, produce
dealers and numerous others which de-
pend directly on the use of horses by
their customers, will easily add another
half million to the wrong side of the
past years ledger, the entire amount of
loss when footed up reaching the sum
of 100000.
Harrison is saying nothing-but he
is said to be the possessor of a large
wood pile.
Now that the excitement attending
the international yacht races is over,
it is time that someone visited Gray
Gables and discovered how many cock
tails Cleveland takes before breakfast.
Since Nellie BLY,, as a reporter of the
New York World, feigned insanity,
was sent to an asylum, witnessed all
the horrors, suddenly regained her rea-
son, was discharged, went home and
wrote it up, she has had many cheap
imitators-so many, in fact, that Cleve-
land, in his desire to live quietly at
Gray Gables, is said to start violently
every time he sees any of the servants
with pen, ink or paper in their posses
sionJ
In a speech on prohibition, Mrs
Lease recently said:
''It is simply conflict between two
factions, one which believes that the
laws were made for the people and
the other that the people were made
for the laws. If the laws do not main
tain justice. as they were designed to
do, let the laws be stricken down and
the people remain. That was Wendell
Phillips sentiment when he said, D-n
the constitution of Massachusetts, and
rent it before the eyes of a vast audi
ence because it stood between the ne
gro and his freedom"
And here is another: Rev e. G..
Scott, pastor of Waterloo Qa) Meth
odist church, recently hurled the
Mosaic law at the bloomer, his text be-
ing:
'The woman shall not wear that
which pertaineth unto man; all such
are an abomination unto the Lord"
He said this law was given them be-
cause God, looking down through ages,
saw the new woman dressed in mems
clothes, with abbreviated trousers,
scant cloth, and tied with a string, to
the infinite disgust of men" He as
serted there was not a woman who
wore bloomers who did not grow less
modest every time she put them on
He said he was not different from other
men, and when he saw woman pa
rading the streets dressed as a man
his respect for her was gone.
Then comes a Jewish rabbi, Rev.
Dr. Voorsanger, who takes issue
with the Methodist, and says
the quotation, Woman shall not
wear that which pertaineth unto
man" cannot be made to ap-
ply to boomers, because the hideous
garment is distinctly femenine apparel.
He does not think the bloomer is i'm
modest, but as to it's gracefully, that
is another thing.
Another reverend. DR.. Nielto, is of
the opinion that if God. looking down
through the ages, saw and disapproved
of boomers, he would have done some
thing to prevent their coming into ex-
istence.
And that is where the reverend gem
tleman opened his mouth and put his
