An exchange makes a note of
experiments lately made at KEEL,
to connect warships with the shore
by telephone, as if it were some
thing particularly novel. Homo
lulu telephone companies have for
years given warships in port con-
nection with the entire shore sys-
tenn. The vessels may even hold
conversation with points on this
island thirty to forty miles away.

Colonel Cockerill, correspon-
dent of the New York Herald in
the Orient, was quoted few
weeks ago as saying the Queen of
Corea was not killed. Last mail
tells of the execution of another
batch of her murderers. 1t also
contains statement in the He
raid, over the signature Of Colo
mel Cockerill, that 1.-The Queen Of
Corea is certainly dead. There is
no truth in the statement that she
escaped from her murderers at

able to give Hawaiian coffee a

none.

Amongst the news by last mail
were accounts of several railway
accidents in California, in which
some lives of employees were lost.
There was a considerable period
without such deplorable events
and then they came in a bunch.
Strangely enough Hawaii has
within the past few weeks also
had a chapter of accidents, includ-
ing two fatalities on the rail. There
have been an unusual number of
collisions on the street and in the
harbor. Has there been an cpl
demic of carelessness?

ON THE

winch everyone Acknowledges
as the leading scientific paper
in the United States, devoteS
nearly a page of its issue of
January 18th to the considera-
ton of bicycles. 1t selected
the Tribune as the highest
type of the best American
wheel made today. 1t says:
within the past three years,
the American bicycle industry
has grown up to dimensions
which fairly entitle it to be
considered representative of the
country and of the day. Every
day sees hundreds of wheels
of high and low grade made in
the factories of this country for
the American and foreign mar
ket. Three years ago the
English bicycle was consider
ed by. many the best wheel,
and the poSSeSsor of such was
apt to consider himself better
equipped than his friend who
rode one of American manu-
facture. Now, all is changed.
A visitor to England or to the
Continent, if a cycling enthu-
siast, cannot fail to be impress
ed by the superiority of Amer
lean wheels as contraSted with
the foreign ones, and no wheel
man really au fat in his sub
ject would dream of buying
his wheel abroad, so superior
is the American make. The
industry has brought about an
enormous development in the
manufacture of special tools
and of parts of bicycles.
Many assumed bicycle man
ufacturers simply buy these
parts and do their own as
sembling. But for the produc-
ton of the absolutely high
grade American bicycle, a
factory is required which will
turn out practically all the
parts of the wheel manufac-
tured, for unless such is done
one concern cannot be answer
able for the perfection of the
whole machine.
We select as the representa-
tive of such a factory the works
of the Black Manufacturing
Company, of Erie, Pa. a COM
pany which produce the high
est grade of wheel and which
put it on the market purely on
its merits without the ADVENT
tious advertisement of paid
riders. The wheel made by
this company, the Tribune
Bicycle" embodies the best
possible practice and is cores
pondingly free from structural
variations of improved merit"
Such praise from such a
high source should satisfy any
one of the superior merits of
the Tribune wheels.
We have them in all varieties
of the 1896 patterns, in Tan
demS, Racers, Ladies or gents
wheels, and shall be happy to
show the 1896 Improvements
to intending purchasers.

the other is of a royalistic cast.

Accelerated System of Handling Mail &c

Accelerated System of Handling Mail to
and From Mexico.
o. l.. Tcachout the well known and
energetic superintendent of the railway
mail service, has returned from Eagle
Pass and FL Paso after having completed
arrangements for the handling of through
man between this country and Mexico
which is new departure and great i'm
proVement over the delayed" system now
IN vogue. The improved system In the
international mail service will go into
effect about February l.
Heretofore mail matter arriving Mt n
frontier town has been taken to the local
postoftice; marked there transferred by
wagon to the postoffice across the river:
there marked again and forwarded to the
train In time to be carried on to its desti-
nation twentyfour hours late. The same
procedure marking the return of mail
from the Mexican side. After February /
all this Is to be changed. as to prepaid
first and second, unregistered mail mat
ter. This is to be marked on the trains
by the railway postal clerks of one nation
to those of the other without the inter-
ventioon of the local postmaster. For this
purpose the Mexican postal clerks will
cross the river with their trains to the
Texas side to exchange mails with the
American clerks running on the Internal
tlonal and Great Northern and Southern
Pacific roads. Similarly the American
postal clerks will cross to the Mexican
side with their trains and exchange mail
matter with the Mexican clerks.
OF course this arrangement will not af-
feet parcels. post or registered matter.
which of necessity must be delayed for
the customary formailties and the eXi-
gencieS of the customs service.
