UNCALLED-FOR SOLdCITUDE.
A Nevada Man and His RESPONSE I
the Bishop,

A Nevada Man and His Response to
the Bishop,
From the San Francisco Post
One Of the most popular men that ever
lived in the state of Nevada was Bishop
Whitaker Of the Episcopalian Church, who
Is now in Pennsylvania, and many stories
are told at his expense One of the best
that I have ever heard is the INCIDENT that
Make Tarpey. the politician. relates when
ever the good bishops name is mentioned
Although I'm Catholic" said he, land
the bishop an Episcopalian, we always
thought a great deal of each other There
was nothing that 1 would not do for the
bishop. so that accounts for The fact that
l was driving with him from Phoebe to Dry
Valley to help him raise money with which
to build a new Episcopal church in Phoebe
Zone Of the most peculiar characters in
that neighborhood was a man who was
generally known by the sobriquet of Billy
be-Damn. He earned 1t by reason of the
surprising eloquence Of his profanity He
could outSWear any man in Nevada and in
those days 1t took better than a raw hand
at GUESSING to do that. Billy was bald-head-
ed. and he was firmly convinced that the
custom of imprisoning the hair in a hal
was responsible for its loss. For that rea-
son he usually wore hat with the crown
cut out of 1t. or no hat at all.
AS the bishop and 1 were driving along
he suddenly seized me by the arm, exclaim-
Stop! Hold on a minutev
Il pulled up the horse and saw Billy-be-
Damn turning windlass just below the
road. AS usual. he had no crown on his
hat. and the hot July sun was beating
down on his shiny pate in way that
threatened sunstroke. at least
My good man. said the bishop, don't
you know that this hot sun beating down
on your unprotected head will bake your
brain?
You fool. do you suppose if 1 had any
brain I'd be turning this windlassr"

Yes, Call Them Wheclyvays,


There Is need Of a good word for desig-
mating road from place to place exclu-
sively for bicycles. Bicycle path Is the
term commonly used. There are several
reasons why this is not suitable term.
In the first place, the word path proba-
bly, Is derived from the Greek verb patein
ITO wa.k), and means a footway. Secondly,
the xpression Is too loEg; it has four syl-
tables. Thirdly. 1t is clumsy; it has two
accents Fourthly, 1t is lot euphonic.
Instead Of bicycle path. the Comnanion
respectfully suggests wheslway. This word
Is analogous In its formation to driveway.
Inc word has not been used in any other
sense except by one or two writer's incor-
rectly to designate those parts Of q wa CON
road IN which the wheels run. Way means
the entire road. and not some part Of II.
Wheelway Is better than wheel road for
tne same reason that driveway is better
fore utility.

An INCENDIARY FIRE.
A Horse Thief Attempts to Destroy Barn.
The fire last evening had a little story

A Horse Thief Attempts to Destroy Barn.
The fire last evening had a little story
in its origin quite out Of the ordinary
run. Shortly after O'clock last even
ing Herman Plaussman of 342 Oak
street went to feed his horse, which he
keeps in a barn at the corner of Oak
and Vine streets. When he reached the
barn he saw two young men hitehing
his horse. He made a grab for them
and they knocked him down.
He grabbed one of them and succeed
ed in holding him until help came in
response to his lusty shouts. The other
fellow got away. The police took the
young man who was caught to station
8, where he gave his name as George A..
Hanchett. He is known to the police.
In the meantime the barn was found
to be afire and an alarm was sent in.
The barn was burned to some extent
but it is thought that $10O will cover the
loss.
Hanchett's companion had not been
yet apprehended. 1t is thought that he
set the barn afire.
Later part of a slow match was found
and it is thought that they intended to
skip with the team, have the barn burn
and lead the owners to suppose that the
horse and team were burned.

The Trinidad Dispute.

London, Jan. 21.--It is semi-officially
stated this afternoon that the negotia-
tions between Great Britain and Brazil
are perfectly friendly and that there is
no threat of even diplomatic rupture
BRAZIL it is explained, merely requested
Great Bratain to merely consider the
proposal to have the Trinidad matter
settled by arbitration, Brazil consider
ing there is no ground for arbitration,
as she thinks there is no doubt what
ever that the island of Trinidad belongs
to her
The Westminster Gazette, referring
this afternoon to the dispatches from
Buenos Ayres which announced that a
cable message from Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, had been received there, saying
that Senator Carlos Carva1ho, Brazilian
minister for foreign affairs, is preparing
a note demanding the immediate resti-
tuition of the island of Trinidad, occu-
pied by Great Britain to Brazil, says:
There is nothing improbable in this
news. 1t is, indeed, rather to be well
coined, because it affords useful test
of the sincerity with which the govern
ment Of the United States intends to
discharge its self-elected duties of lord
chief justice of the American continent
For in the present dispute, England is
pressing for arbitration and Brazil re-
fuses it unconditionally and imperious-
ly. What will the United States do?"
