General Young belonged 70 that chival-
rous kind of soldier, which long-range
guns and the mathematical precision of
modern warfare have banshed from the
field. The civil war saw the last Of these
brilliant "sabreurs"-men like Stuart

Down With the Sc0rcher.

Municipalities with extensive park sys-
tens have suffered much lately from the
presence of the bicycle scorcher.
New York, Boston. Chicago, and Phiia-
delphla have an had their reign OF terror,
of which the man on the wheel has been
king. 1t is matter of great regret 10 the
average wheelman that so much discredir
has been thrown on the sport by the reck-
less riding and disregard OF the rights OF
others by few hoodlum riders.
1t has been found necessary in all o.
these cities to adopt heroic measures for
the stopping Of this sort of thing. and q
heavy fine has been found to be very ade-
quate to the situation, but. as tho Old
Cook Book says, you must first catch
your rabbit"
Several suits had been brought against
the police department in these cities for
damage done to wheels by the insertion
of the officers club In the spokes. this
method being adopted by many of them.
so some new plan was found necessary to
apprehend the law-breakers. To this END,
each one OF these cities now Possesses an
expert and speedy bicycle corps. who
have trained 10 very fast riding, and WOO
