Advertising that does not be-

Advertising space in one pa

of the use of the bicycle. When cross-coun-

New bread HeaIthful.
From the Chicago Tribune.

New bread and the morning hot roll have
been condemned as injurious and difficult of
digestion. However true this charge may
be- the use of new bread appears, even from
the hygienic point Of view, to have some
compensating advantages. DIR. Trotzke
states that he has found that new and uncut
bread contains no micro-organisms as the
heat necessarily destroys them, while soon
after exposure many microbes. not infre-
quently pathogenic. are to be found on the
leaves.

HEROlSM OF A WIDOW.

There has been some uncertainty as to
the time when the Senators from Ctah
would be enabled to take their seats.
July 4 WAS mentioned in some of the dis
patches as the date on which the process
OF admission to State hood would be com
pletc, but that seems to have been "a
mis- take. In the form in which the bin
WAS finally passed year ago last July,
Utah were not to take their seats until
January, 1896. That, however, will not
give the Republicans an absolute ma
iority of The Senate. With two from
Utah, the total membership OF the body
will be 80, of which rs is ii majority.
The Republicans now have II, not count
ing Jones and Stewart, who are Popu-
lists, or Dupont of Delaware, Who may
not be seated. Two more from Utah
would give them II, ana even with Du-
pont they would still lack one of ma
ority. But it will be different after
March /, 1897. On that date the terms
of Democratic Senators from New York,
Mary land, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana
Illinois and Wisconsin, and of the Pe pU-
list Senators from Kansas and South Da-
kota viii expire, and Messrs. Hill, Gibson
Blackburn, Briee, Noohees, Palmer.
Villas, PETER and Kyle will probably be
succeeded by Republicans. There will
be no lack OF a good working majority
then.

Affairs are rapidly approaching a crisis
in Turkey. The sole policy of the Sui
tan evidently is that of playing off the
powers against one another. He has
tried this before with success, but on
this occasion is nonplussed. Meanwhile
the massacre of Armenians continues
and the empire drifts nearer revolution
and anarchy. The arts of diplomacy
have failed, the patience of Europe is
exhausted, and the time for armed inter
vention seems to be near.

PRlXATE TELEPHONES.
New York Mnlionaires' Call Numbers Are
Not Public Property.

Not Public Property.
There are some very aristocratic tele-
phone owners in the city but a study Of
the telephone directory supplied for the
use Of the general public does not reveal
this fact. This is done purposely. 1t il
no use getting mad if, when you ask
for Mr.. Crtrsus Nanderbilt's telephone
number the girl at the other end asks if
you don't know it. When you say that
you don't know it or try to fool her and
say you did have it, but lost the memo
randum, she will answer back, I'VE
cannot give you Mr.. Crpsus Wander
bilt's house unless you know the mum
Der. -
The fact of it is the girl would be
breaking strict rules Of the company if
she gave this information. There are a
good many millionaires and prominent
society families who have telephones in
their residences, but they are for private
use. Only the friends Of the head of the
house and a few other persons know the
number. The mistress of the mansion
leaves the number with her friends, and
In exchange receives their numbers She
also leapes her number with the head of
the hospital where she happens to be on
the managing committee.
This exclusive system is adopted in
order that outsiders cannot annoy MI
Millionaire by ringing him up on TN,
telephone. The men who have tele
phones put into their palaces do so with
the Yroviso that their names and tele-
phone numbers shall not appear i'll the
