 A party consisting of Mir and Mrs s. O. Beckley. Misses Belle Lorrain, Pearl Ham, Jessie Cargill, Mary Watson, Messrs Albert J. Barnes, Charles Rode meyer and Walter W. Warner took a bicycle trip last Friday. They went on the 8 Il a. m. train to Salisbury, where they mounted their wheels and went via the 'under mountain road' past Sage's Ravine to South Egremont. where they dined at the Mount Everett House. Mir. and Mrs Beckley came di- rectly home from South Egremont, but the rest of the party went around via Great Darlington. While Mir. Rode meyer was running rapidly down a steep hill east of South Egremont, hen at- tempted to cross the road, but was run over by the wheel. The result was un- doubtedly fatal to the hen, and also came near being fatal to MT. Rode meyer, who was violently thrown head long from the wheel. He struck on his left elbow and right hand, and then plowed along down the hill about 20 feet. His left elbow and arm were so badly injured that he carries them in a sling. and it will be week at least be- fore be will be able to work. The palm of his right hand was also badly cut and scraped. Nevertheless he managed to ride tbe wheel to Great Barricgton (by holding on to the handle-bar with only one hand), where his wounds were dressed, and then he came home on the cars.

In 1868 Mr.. Lincoln was Informed one
morning that among the visitors in the
anteroom Of the White House was man
who claimed to be his relative. He walked
out and was surprised. to find his boyhood
friend and cousin, Dennis Hanks. The
latter had come to sec his distinguished
relative on o rather strange mission. A
number of persons living in Coles county,
in Illinois, offended. at the presence and
conduct of few soldiers who were at
homo from the war on furlough at the
town of Charleston, had brought about q
riot, in which encounter several of the lat
ter had been killed. Several of the civilian
participants who had acted as leaders in
the strife had been arrested and sent to
Fort McHenry or some other place of con-
finement equally far from their homes.
The leading lawyers and politicians of GEN.
trail Illinois were appealed to, but they and
all others who had tried their hands had
been signally unsuccessful in their efforts
to secure tho release OF tho prisoners.
Meanwhile some one of a sentimental turn
had conceived the idea Of sending garru-
lous old Dennis Hanks to Washington,
fondly believing that his relationship to
the president might in this last extremity
be of some avail. The novelty of the prof.
cot secured its adoption by the prisoners

very infinitely. How his appearance in
Washington and his mission struck Mr..
Lincoln can only be imagined.

and learning the purpose of his visit, re-
tired to an adjoining room and returned
with an extremely large roll of papers, la
beled The Charleston Riot Case, which
he carefully united and gravely directed
his now diplomatic cousin to read. Subse-

and vet 1t is one of the temperatures
which have been reached and useo in
laboratory research, and has been made
the subject of some highly interesting
experiments and explanations by Pro-
lessor Dewar before the British Royal
Institution.
Four hundred degrees below zero is not
an every day temperature, nor can 1t be
reached by more every day means than
the expansion of liquid air, which latter
Professor Dewar has succeeded in produc-
ing in comparatively large quantities,
and in storing by novel and ingenious
methods, to be used as required in the
study of matter at abnormally low temper

burner is used in studying the proper
ties of different bodies at the higher tenn
oeratures.
The tensile strength of iron at 400 below
zero is just twice what it is at 90 above.
1t will take strain of 60 instead of 30 tons
to the square inch, and equally curious
results have come out as to the elongation
of metals under these conditions. 1t was
an idea of Faraday that the magnetism
in permanent magnet would be increased
at very low Temperatures and experiments
with comparatively low temperatures had
rather negatived Faraday's suggestion,
but Professor Dewar has compltely veri-
fled the opinion Of the famous savant, hay
ing shown that magnet at the extremely
low temperature made possible by the
liquid air had its power increased by
about so per cent.
Very low temperature was shown also
to have remarkable effect upon the
color of many bodies. For example
the brilliant scarlet of vermilion and
mercuric iodide is reduced under it's in
fuence to a pale orange, the original color
returning with the rise of temperature

tain r. Anderson OF the steamer says,
Russia has massed 80 900 men at Vlau-
livestock, and it is believed in Siberia
that preparations are being made for an
advance on Japan"
Captain Anderson adds: Russia has
been secretly but actively at work. and in
the event of trouble with Japan is pre-
pared to hurl formidable army and
navy into the coveted territory which
Japan has wrested from China. These
sbips ana troops have been massed at
Vladivostook, where the scene is decided
ly warlike. The entrance to the harbor at
Vladivostock is planted full of torpedoes,
and no vessels are allowed to pass in or

board. and experienced Russian pilots,
who know where the torpedoes are
planted. Ny vessel was escorted in this

evidence is clear that Russia is fully pre-
pared for trouble in case the japanese
give any occasion for it.
THE massing of these ships and troops
at Vladivostock has been done secretly by
Russia unusual precautions having been
taken to prevent the spread of any intel

the peace element is hoping that the ten
sion may be relieved and matters settled
without a resort to arms
1t was ntimated to Captain Anderson
before he left that the government would
be pleased if he did not take pains to
spread his knowledge of the operations
at Vladivostock, but he did not hesitate
much this evening when asked TO tell
what he knew, as he thinks the world is
entitled TO know the facts.

of the case was made public today when

OMAHA, Neb,. June 81, 1895.

Dear rim response iof information
as to your legal duty in the matter OF
Henry Bollin, city treasurer, permit me
to state that the powers confer red upon
the mayor and the penalties provided by
law are intended to subserve useful pur-
pose and not as Il means of persecution.
That Mr.. Boliin has violated she law is
peyond question. 1t should be also re-

city for thirty years, and that up to two

f. You should endeavor to disregard the
harangue in the city council and the par

are evidently Intended to work up senti-
ment favorable to political movements
this coming fall.
In the case of Henry Bollin there are a
number of extenuating circumstances.
There is no evidence thus far hat any
record has been mutllated or falsiied in
the least. The shortage of the office APP
peared in the first hour of the investiga-
ton, the same as latter Il thorough aud
complete investigation. There was no at
tempt to cover or hide single fact. Had
BoIlin intended to steal there would have
been attempts to cover and conceal, all of
which are lacking in this case. Had such
been his intention there is no reason
why his shortages should not have gone
mp into hundreds of thousands instead of
as it really is. 1t is evident that not
only the city will not lose dollar, but
even Boilin's bondsmen are not likely to
lose dollar in the matter. And | do
not think Bollin should be further pun
ished.
No steps have yet been taken to arrest
Bollin. Ii one warrant is issued many
more must be. for many politician are

Now hurl the top with all your might
Upon the banquette here;

Boundeth and spinnetn along,
And it whirIs and it chirrs,
And it birrs and it purIs
Ever it's pretty song.
Will ever my dear little boy grow old,

Will ever his heart feel faint and cold

Will ever this Joy

Sing sad and low
