II was n Mig Success, the Pageant being a
brilliant Onv-Four IIHmdred wheels
In Llne-'Ihe Concert.
The lantern parade Of the wheelmen,
which has been looked forward to with
pleasant anticipation for some time.
came on "a scheduled last night, and
over the route printed In the Intelligent
Ger yesterday morning. The boys be-
gan to gather on North Main street
about Z o'clock and when the chief mar
ahal, Mr.. W. d. Mccoy. gave the word
for the start to the Opera House band at
$40 p. M, there were nearly 400 wheels
in line. the exact count as made by the
Intelllgencer reporter being s92.
The turnout, while not so large as
had been expected, was sufficient 10
make brilliant showing, one that was
crsdltable TO the four wheel clubs under
whose auspices the demonstration was
given. The first division was COM
posed Of ladies' and their escorts. In
this connection It Is gratifying to note
that the turnout OF the whcclwOman
was Unexpectedly large, showing the
interest they take in the cycling sport.
There were nearly 100 ladies In line.
The second division was made up Of
the clubs, Wheeling Whcclmen. 30
men: Y. NJ. c. a. Wheclmen,
10 men: Crescent Bicycle club,
- men: Carroll Club Cyclers, 30
men. All made u good showing with
their neat uniforms, The J, NJ. c, a.
boys had a novel Tag that was u feature
Of the parade
In The third division. the Ohio side
whcelmen figured. and they made good
showing. both IN numbers and appear
ance In the fourth division were the
unattached cyclers, who, OF course
formed the largest division OF the four.
There were many amusing and out
landlsh designs IN decoration Of wheels.
"Trllhy" on the high wheel WIS one OF
the features, and the Jay also on n
high wheel. made hit, A detachment
Of little boys IR Indian costumes at
tracicd attention all along the line OF
march.
The head Of the column passed the
Mcclure az Sis u was just an hour
and one-half when the band music her
aided the approach OF the parade from
the southern part OF the city, the route
having extended TO the county line at
Forty-eiEhth street
The crowds on the streets were mark
ably large, probably 5000 people lining
the sidewalks. The crowd was par
tIcularly large nj the Mcclure corner on
the return OF the parade from the South
Side II was Intended 10 wind up the
demonstration with hand concert and
speeches from the Mcclure house bal
c1ny. but the speeches were omitted on
account Of the Inability Of Vice Consul
r. ]. Keenan,, Jr., Of the Pennsylvania
division OF the League Of American
RVhcclncu. who was down Tor talk, 70
BE- here. Later the Wheeling Wheel
Club served n luncheon at It's rooms on
Eleventh street
All In all the demonstration was a
success. and was the best cyclCrs' de-
monsiratIon ever carried out In this
city. The bulk OF the czrdit for this Is
due TO Chairman Arthur q. Hubbard, OF
the parade committee, who was tude-
fatlFuable In his efforts TO make the
AFFAIR so.

the commander had never before received,
Hats, canes, handkerchiefs, umbrellas
and American flags were waved in the
air, the Salvation Army girls beat their
tambourines, the Salvation Army lads
cheered themselves boarse, and every face
had a smile of welcome.
And during it all Ballington Booth
stood with his head bowed, while Mrs.
Booth knelt at his side. The cheers and
applause finally died away, but were
resumed when, as Mr.. and Mrs. Booth
were taking CHER seats, some one in the
rear OF the hal shouted, Three cheers
for our American commander" The
cheers were given again and again and
the audience fairly went wild with en-
thusiasm.
Mr.. Booths address was frequently
interrupted by cheers and applause, and
when he had finished somebody cried
out, whats the matter with Baling-
ton Booth?" and the vast audience
shouted Hes all right"
Mr.. Booth then introduced Mrs. Booth
to the meeting, and as she stepped to the
front of the platform there was wild
burst Of cheers and applause from all
sides and a frantic waving of hats, flags
and handkerchels.

Mark Twain on Prohibition.

Mark Twain has just concluded lee
turing tour in New Zealand. He said
goodby to the New Zealanders at Christ
church, and in the course Of his speech,
says the Westminster Gazette" made
references to prohibition, which he said
he approved, but which would put them
into most difficult straits. He then told
the following story;
In our country several years ago there
was a man who came into prohibit ed
town, and unlike you savages here, they
said to him, you can't get drink any
where except at the apothecary's.' So
he went to the apothecary, who said,
"You can't get drink here without a
prescription from the physician" but the
man said, II am perishing. | haven t
time to get prescription" The apothe-
cary replied, well, l haven't power to
give you a drink except for snake bite. u
The man said, "Where's the snake" So
the apothecary gave him the snakes
address, and he went off. Soon after
however, he came back and said, "For
goodness sake, give me drink. That
snake is engaged for six months ahead.

The Business Situation.

Those who were looking for a gen
eral return of good times are still
chasing rainbows. Spring is here,
but in business circles there is that
tired feeling which, according to the
advertisement, comes to man at this
season of the year. Congress offers
no help for the situation and even
aggravates it by its do-nothing pol
icy the spring trade has opened but
with no activity. The general situa-
ton is discussed philosophically by
the financial editor Of the Boston
Herald in this strain:
General business is much like the stock
market in its leading aspects, that is
quiet, Spring trade is active in special
ties only. Collections are slow, Failure,
are rather numerous. Money is in in
different supply and ordinary request
Everybody and every thing awaits tresl
impulse Whence is it to spring, anC
when, people do not know. Nor DO the,
know The cause OF its absence. Viewed
from a purely business and mercener,
standpoint, the affairs of the world dc
not appear to be wisely conducted a
present. There is general dissatisactio,
with the profits, if not with the volume
ofindustry. Detective currency systems
detective tariffs, detective trade laws, an
detective International relations are IN
terering seriously with the successir

Our Present Duty.

All that we is Americans can do
in regard to the Armenian outrages
is to hold public meetings to protest
against the slaughter and send funds
TO help the Red Cross society in their
great work of relieving distress.
Public meetings like the one held at
St. Johnsbury last Sunday night can
be held at every town in the county,
and we hope our neighboring vii
lagos will hold such gatherings in the
immediate future. Such meetings
arouse interest in the matter and
lead to contributions to help the suf-
ferers. ANY of our readers in other
towns who wish to contribute to
the fund now being raised for the
Red Cross society in St. Johnsbury
can send their contributions either
to the Passumpsic Savings bank or
the Citizens bank. The national
relief fund, in the hands of Brown
Bros. & Co., as treasurers OF the Red
Cross society, now amounts to
$65,S51.

Governor Greenhalge.

In the death of Governor Green
halge Massachusetts has lost an
other statesman and the man who
was at the head OF her common.
wealth. Gov. Greenhalge was born
in England and made record in Al
years that we can point TO with pride.
AS mayor Of Lowell, member of the
legislature, member OF congress and
governor of Massachusetts, he won
public confidence and esteem by the
faithful discharge of his duties on all
occasions. The duties of his office
compelled him to fill large number
of social engagements, and it was
not an uncommon thing for him to
attend four or five gatherings the
same night and speak at each one OF
them. Such exacting work would
sooner or later kill any man and his
death is but the natural result of the
work which was demanded Of him.
This comes very close after the death
of ex Gov. Robinson and the state is
thus deprived OF two very useful men
