BICYCLING ON SUNDAY.
Evangelist sheInutt Sees no Harm
in 1t Ordinarily.


Evangelist .Shelnutt. who is conducting
revival services at the Church of Christ
on Bolton street, touched on the question
of Bicycle Riding on Sunday" last night.
q see no harm in bicycle riding on Sun
day." he said, but, of course, it depends
upon the purpose. 1t would, for instance,
be wrong for a christian to ride BIZ
cycle on Sunday out to some pleasure re-
sort in the morning and spend the whole
day there in idleness and pleasure seek
ing. Sunday is day of rest, and 1T
should be so held by man, for health de-
mands it..
One day of rest out of seven is an alb
soute necessity; even the locomotive, that
iron machine, acts better and lasts longer,
when it is allowed one day out of the
seven to cool off ut is wrong, the
evangelist said, for men to go to their
stores on Sunday, and look over their
books. plotting and planning for the week
10 come Sunday is one day in which we
should rest, and give some thought to the
Welfare of our souls; 1T is a day which be-
longs to God. Again I say l see no harm
in bcycle riding on Sunday see no
harm in riding in a buggy, or on horse
back on Sunday, always provided the pur-
pose is innocent"

A LETTER FROM NAPOLEON.
Judge Gnyarre's Interpretation of a
Relic.

Judge Gayarre's Interpretation of a
Relic.
From the New York Sun. f,e1
New Orleans. March 20.--An interesting
Napoleonic letter came to light here the
other day and is now in the possession of
Armand Hawkins, the antiquarian. Mr.
Hawkins Is one Of the famous characters
of this city. and has in his possession some
of the most valuable relics in the state Of
Louisiana. His face lights up with all the
joy of the successful relic hunter who has
run his prize to earth as he tells how he
captured the document in question.
Il have known for a long time,' he said
to the Sun correspondent that there was
such a letter in existence, but never got
a glimpse of it until the other day. Old
Judge Gayarre, the historian of Louisiana
used to sit and talk with me over my col
lection, and he would say when we were
discussion French history: 300
- oh, a fig for your Napoleoni History
is all wrong about him! History credits
Napoleon with disappearing Of the death
Of Louis XVI. History is too lenient!' The
old judge was a royalist at heart.
FINALLY / said to him: Now, Judge
you are always saying that history is
wrong about Napoleon. How do you know
that history is WrOng2
q ooh. / know. 1 known he would say
and that was all could get out OF him.
But one day he told me that when LAX
anal was alive (you remember, 1t was LAX
anal who signed the death warrant of
Louis XVI; at the restoration Of the mon
archy he fled TO this country, France not
being a comfortable place for him them,
when Lakanal was alive, he. Judge Ca
yarre, had seen in LakanaPs library a let
ter from Bonaparte commencing the ser
vice he had rendered the state. The old
Judge rad tried to get sight Of the letter
since LakanaTs death but his granddaugh-
ter. into whose possession it had come
would not let him see Il.
Wen, l went to see the granddaughter
myself; knew her well, and ! tried 10 get
her to show me the letter, but MOI She
admitted that It was In existence, but she
wouldn't show Il to me. ] have kept on
trying from time to time ever since then
but always UNNECESSARILY The other day
was there. and while we were sitting
chatting together, she said to me;
