PARsL0W's CLOSE CALL.
Says He Thought the Time Had
Come TO Bury Himself.

Assemblyman Parslow, who represented
the people of Hoboken in the last Leg
islature. came within an ace of being
killed last night by trolley car of the
North Hudson County Railway Co.
The Assemblyman. who is under
taker. was returning upon a hearse from
a funeral he had just conducted in
Flower Hill cemetery. Union Hill When
the vehicle reached Gardner street and
New York avenue, trolley car came
along at fun speed. The hearse was also
going at a good rate of speed and
people thought collision was lnevi-
Bile The Assemblyman when he saw
the approaching motor only few
feet away. with great presence of mind
told the driver to jump for his life,
at the same time leaping from the seat
himself.
It was no easy matter. for the Assem-
blynan to perform that acrobatic feat
as he weighs in the neighborhood of 240
pounds. The driver, however, did not
jump Taking in the situation at a
glance he expended his entire strength
and brought the horses up short upon
their launches and turned. them in the
same direction the car was going. The
motor whizzed by, grazing the hearse
in its passage. Mr.. Parslow says it was
the narrowest escape he ever had in his
life and he thought the time had come
when he would have to bury himself

lliss Rhodes Nearly Breaks the Ten
TsiIe bicycle Record.

WASHINGTo, N Aug. p, 1S95.-Miss
Nellie C. Rhodes last night made BIZ
cycle record of ten miles in 80 minutes
and Is seconds. The best record for a
male rider is only about two minutes
better than this.
Miss Rhodes is a native of Boston and
a graduate of the Charlestown High
School near Harvard University. She
came here about year ago and has re-
ceived an excellent athletic training in
all manner of sports Miss Rhodes views
upon the proper dress for wheeling will
be of interest. She says
81 abhor bloomers. They are not more
convenient than skirt and leggings and
are very unsightly OF course long skirts
viii not do for anyone who wishes to
acquire skill and speed. They catch the
wind, and make a great hindrance.
Furthermore, the rider should wear
good, wide. comfortable shoes SO as to
get a purchase on the pedal
"A female rider should never grid her
self with tight clothing, except to make
a fine showing on parade. To go even a
mile in the country she should dress for
the occasion and all her clothing. should
be loose, so as to allow her to breathe
from the diaphragm as a man does. No
woman wearing tight clothing need ever
expect to do anything noteworthy on a
wheel OF course no woman can ever
compare with the best work of men, be-
cause she has not the muscles necessary
and never can develop them.

abled to comfortably support herself and
