PROTESTS on BABY CYCLING.


wheeImen Declare. That Fathers Im-
peril Young Lives.
Every Sunday morning on the Coney Island
bicycle path one sees a long procession of
fathers and big brothers-curiousiy never
mothers and big ssters-with little ones
strapped securely on a seat fastened on the
frame Just behind the handle bars, says the
New York Press. The young ones sit quite
still, although they seem to enjoy the ride.
The old hand who has been riding ever
since bicycles were Invented always starts
off on a torrid denunciation of the man
who would take such a risk. Il began
in the old high wheel days, and 1 guess /
know no " to take care OF myself as well as
almost anybody, but never trust myself TO
take my little boy out on one Of those
arrangements. Not that they aren't made
all right, but am 1 to know that he won't
lean the wrong way at critical moment?
'See how many accidents there are when
the rider is competent man. Some fool
driver runs into youor wabbiing beginner
bangs up against you all standing. You
are going down hill at a pretty fast clip
and you lose your pedal. You might let your
machine go to smash and you jump off
when you are riding alone, but what are
you going to do when you have your baby
strapped on? He'd get killed as sure as
the world"
so strong Is tniS DeehiiS among WneeiInen
that in a class paper devoted to their in
terest and full of advertisements of attach
ment of the bicycle there was the bitterest
kind of an attack on people who would thus
risk their children'sliyes.
This in spite of the fact that in that num-
Der were four big display advertisements
of baby seats for bicycles. Notwithstand-
ing this scolding, the tribe increases. Who
is there who has heard Of an accident to
a child carried on wheel by its father?
The opponents of the baby seats have logic
on their side, but they haven't any facts
as evidence-that Is, they haven't up to
now.

SQUEEZED IT'S LIFE OUT.
Summer Girls Revenge on an Inquisi

Summer Girls Revenge on an Inqufsi-
tive Little Mouse.
A summer girl came out of city resi-
dence the other morning and noticed on the
pavement two men, who acted as If they
were trying to catch something, says the
Louisville Courier Journal. She gave them
very Indifferent attention, but as she STEP
ped out of the gate, she heard one Of the men
say, eXcitedly:
There, miss, II ran under your dress!"
Ran under. my drcss?" she cried with a
lively jump. what ran under my dress?"
why, white mouse" he answered.
ave upset our cage of them out here, and
have caught all but oneAthc one that is
under your dress"
1T is not so," she said. "Your mouse
didn't get on ME ut all. l examined my
dress thoroughly, and it was not there"
"All right" the man said; II saw it go
under your dress. We have lost white
mouse and you have got it"
Still indignant, the summer girl walked
on down the street. Several squares away
FROM home she felt a queer, wriggling SEN
sation on her person just under the clothes
at her belt. .Shegrabbed the spotand dashed
into a doctor office, which wasfortunately
at hand.
"Oh, please" she hurriedly explained
to the doctor, won't you call your wife?
think have a mouse on me-"
Mrs. Doctor came to the rescue, and,
sure enough, snugly hidden in the folds of
the summer girls fluffy gown. but quite
dead from the hearty squeezing, was the
poor, little lost white mouse.

MONASTERY MENU.
In the Fifteenth Century Monks Were
Not GOurma nds.

In the Fifteenth Century Monks Were
Not GOurnan nds.
To one familiar charge it is satisfac-
tory TO find that the brethren could plead
not guilty, says McMillan's Magazine.
There was no gorma ndizing at ST. swith
in's.
The serious meals of the day were two,
dinner at noon and supper between 6 and z.
Besides this there was a bowl of porridge
for breakfast, and for any who desired il
a cup of ale and hunch OF bread were
ready I'm the refectory at 3, when the after
dinner sleep was over.
The kitchen bills, il must be allowed,
are strangely heavy; f2, 100 for the years
fare, exclusive of bread. beer, and wine, to
q modern mind would call for liberal re-
ductions. But If the fare was plentiful
1t certainly was in no sense luxurious,
even at Christmas OF on the festival of
st. Swithin himself; and upon fast days
there is equally plain proof in the daily
bills of fare that dinner and supper were
each very sorry business.
Fast days, too, were disagreeably numer-
GUS before the Reformation. There was
not only the long season of Lent in which
to subdue the willful appetite, but all Ad-
vent and every Wednesday, Friday, and
Saturday throughout the year. A such
seasons the boards must have been pain
IuHy pare, hpr tIle Only dut1iSSiDie eat
ables were ffsh, eggs and vegetables, and
upon occasions such small mercies as figs
OF raisns. Thus on Wednesday, November
IA, 1492. the bill of fare for the two meals
was salt ling, eggs, and an entree of oys-
tiers.
On Sundays the diet was rather more
Liberal, two or three extra dishes of fish
being added. But, happily, the whole year
was not made up of fast days. and for an
example of an average bill of fare we may
take that of New Years day, 1893.
Upon that occa sion the brethren had for
the two meals moile "a dish of grated mar
row and bread), beef and mutton. num-
bles Cthe tendercr cuts from a hauuch OF
venison), steaks as an extra dish. and
bread and beer at discretion, as our neigh
bors say. Sometimes instead of the mOile
they had brose, or toasts soaked in the
dripping of the roasting meat. Soup often
figures as n supper dish; fishballs, or ris-
sOles, tansy pudding. batter, custarts,
calves feet, tripe. all appear among their
| side dishes.
On festivals there was no more than the
| slightest Increase in the character of the
| dinner, perhaps a dish of spiced vegetables
ard au extra entree.

To begin the days doinss before Judge
Kimball, Mary McGraw acknowledged her
self Indebted to the Government for S1OO.
She had been disorderly and was let off on
personal bonds
She acknowledged having had bottle
of beer and said she was overcome by it,
so she didn't know what happened after

Frank Hall, an intelligent-looking white
man, roughly dressed, was arraigned for
vagrancy. He was arrested for the rob-
berry in the Capitol grounds on Sunday
night.
Policeman Hartigan testified that he
arrested Hall on C street. He was living
at the Central Union Mission and had no
money to pay for his board. Hall had been
held yesterday waiting for Raymond, who
claimed to be robbed, TO come and identify
him, but the alleged victim failed to ap-
pear.
Officer Joyce testified that he saw Hall
beg ging on the a venue. He wanted cents
to get a bed for the night.
Hall said his home is California. He
stopped here on his way to Newport News
where lie expected TO ship as a sailor. He
had a quarter or so when arrested, and
said he had not been begging. He walked

PUT HIM AWAY FOR KEEPS.
He showed a card indicating that lie had
the ability TO provide for himself and was
in the habit of doing SO. He could not tell
who was with him when seen by the
officers.
Judge Kimball gave him a months SEN
tencc to await investigation Of the rob
berry case.
George W. Boyd, a driver Of No. 1920
X street north west, was brought up on a
charge OF keeping ducks and chickens that
were a nuisance to the neighbors. 1t was
shown that several of the neighbors had
heard no cackIing nor other disturbing
noises for several weeks, though they had
previously. Another, an old gentleman,
testified that he had been disturbed up to
the present by the noise of the fowls and
could not sleep for it.
Judge Kimball said it was not question
of keeping awake persons who sleep
soundly, but for those most easily dis
turbed. All must be protected. Mr.. Boyd
must give his personal bond in 500 to
dispose of the fowls within twenty-four
hours.
Belle Gaines, an Inmate of a disorderly
house, was given two months.
Annie Foley, whose annual record of ar
rests is many times greater than that OF
any other female offender, was again before
the judge. She got the usual sentence for
being drunk and disorderly.

ON ACCOUNT OF "OLIVIA"
Mrs, Briggs Pharmacy for Young
Ladies Has Enemies.
Neirhbors Object to Having Their
View Obstructed by Si&ns-Hear-
ing Before the Commissioners.

Mrs. Emily Edison Briggs. well known as
OLIVIA" writer of some note, "f South
east Washington, has established at No.
6lO d street southeast pharmacy Tor the
practical Instruction of young ladies in the
minutia of that profession, but i'll doing
so has incurred the displeasure of some "f
the adjacent residents on account oi an al
legged violation Of the building regula-
tions.
One of her neighbors. Mr.. Charles Shroth,
called at the District buihing tbs morn
ing to ask a bearing upou the subject.
The charge is specifically against an ob-
struction ta the view from adjoining houses
caused by the latticing of porch hitherto
open and the erection Of sundry signs ad-
yerfpsinG the business.
TIE compIajDt was preferred some months
ago, when the pharmacy was iirst opened,
and u notice was served by the buhdlnS
inspector directing that the signs ana lat
tjce work be removed. The signs con-
sIst in part of a large bronze mortar
placed on post on either side of the en-
trance.
Mrs. Briggs has been to see the building
inspector and the Commissioners several
times concerning the matter. She pleads
that the signs do not seriously obstruct the
view of her neighbors, and that the unob-
jectionable chara cter OF the institution and
its worthy object should cause Some consid-
eration in her favor. She likewise asked
for a hearing AT the convenience of the Com
missioners, when she will appear by counsel
and be able to show that she has not vio-
lated the building regulations.
Mr. Shrotn was quite in,ngLant tins morn
Ing when discussing the delay in having
the Objectionable signs and enclosing lat
tice removed. He demanded to be present
at the contemplated discussion. He said
he protested last July against the erection
of the signs, and that his tenant in one
house has already vacated the property,
and another threatens TO leave.
Mrs. Briggs has had prominent support in
her plea for maintenance of the improve
mcnts at one time Admiral Ammcn appear
lug in her behalf.
