Bicycle Annex to Detroit's High
School.

From the New York Tribune.
There is flood for thought in the an
nouncement that in. the new High School
building in Detroit a room has been set
apart that will accommodate not less than
800 bicycles. The idea is not a new one,
but this is believed to be the first time that
distinct arrangements for the accommoda-
ticn of cyclists have been made in the
plans for a school building. Public schools
generally do not need to provide bicycle
rooms, as the pupils live near them. but
such rooms are a necessity in the case of
high schools and private schools that draw
ties are beginning to appreciate this fact,
although some Of the conservatives are
slow to accept a new idea that seems to
verge on the revolutionary.

BIG JOHN MORIARTY.
Said to He the Tallest and Strongest Man
 in Eastern Maine

Said to Be the Tallest and Strongest Man
 in Eastern Maine.
 John Moriarty, known all over east. ] ern Maine as Barney Kelley's Giant , died in Oldtown hospital recently ot typhoid fever, says the Lewiston Even ing Journal. He has been for nearly two years employed as construction hand on the Bangor &5 Aroostook rail- road, and later on the new Ashland branch, where he became sick.
 Moriarty stood 6 feet 9sA inches in his stocking feet, and generally weighed 240 pounds. Had he. been fat his weight would have been enormous. But he was very lean. Why said Barney Kelley, you could feed the giant on porterhouse steak and eggs and he wouldn't gain pound; but he was an awful tough mani"
 His arms were very long and he had hands as powerful as the paws of gorilla All over his body the muscles stood out in Jumps and cords, and his strength was immense. He could do as much work as two ordinary men, and on that account his services were al- ways in demand at more than common wages. He was especially serviceable as a derrick man-he could turn the heavy crank all day without tiring. An ax was like a toy in his hands, cant-dog like walking stick. He could up end and shoulder small log or piece of timber that two ordinary men could barely lift, and in every department of hearty manual labor he was a very Hercules.
 Many stories are told of the giants | mighty strength. Once, when two sauey woodsmen 'guyed" him about his towering height, he seized them by the shoulders, one in each hand. and their heads together till their teeth rattled--and they were two good sized men.
 At another time some toughs came nto a barroom where he was and pro- 'eeded to "clear the place out" Mori- lrty took them, two at a time. and pitched them half way across the street IS though they were so many ninepins.

Theremedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane, Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

He was being hauled up by the dean for some audacious breach of college rules and made a perfectly glib and satisfactory excuse. No, no. slr,' said the dean, that won't do this tune.

coNIEMPoRARY OPINION.
The RusaIans of Port Arlhur.

From the Springfield Republican.
There Is no doubt that Russia intends
TO have Port Arthur and sll Manchuria
and the report that China has ceded the
former to the Oar Is probably only pre-
mature II incorrect. Surveys for a
branch Of the Siberian railroad to several
points on the Gulf of Pechili we're
made long ago, and part OF the work on
line across Manchuiia WAS doue before
the war beween China and Japan. The only
question from q Russian standpoint has
been where the terminus and the White !
harbor should be and that Port Arthur
would be chosen would be admitted Of
little doubt. This purpose was behini
the Russian protest which prevente d
Japanese occupation OF this port
and prompted Russian aid to China
In paying the idemnity her de
feat cost Europe was not deceivtd
by these Russian protestations OF
friendship for China and Russian protests
against the division Of tine Chinese ter
ritory. Germany and France fell In line
behind the former aud joined Ia compel
ling Jspan to relinquish her booty, but it
must have been known both at Paris and
Berlin that it was RussiAe interest and
not Chlna's which they were serving. II
Is Impossible to tell how inclusive are
the Russian plans for the incorporation
of Chinese territory Until this story is
cont radlcted or confirmed II Is useless to
speculate upon the scion Of Europe to
follow such Russian grab The inter
ests Of every power are threa'eoed by It,
those OF Great Britain aud France most
OF all Great Britain would be at oncs
dethroned from her place as 6rst iE In
