NO MORE MONEY IN BIKES.

NEW YORK, Sept. Il, 1sss-John Me
Clave & Sons, manufacturers of bicycles
at No. 81 Fifth avenue and No. COZ West
Twenty-seeond street, assigned today to
William Harrison without preference
The partners are John McClave, Stephen
Wood McClave, John aMeClave, Jr., and
Albert McClave. Stephen W. McClave
also made an individual assignment to
Mr.. Harrison. The senior partner was for
merly Police Commissioner of this city
and figured conspicuously in the Lexow
Committee Investigation. He was for
many years in. the lumber business and
went into bicycles recently.
Edward NJ. Shepard, Mr.. .McClave's at
torney, said that the failure was due to
inability of the firm to. sell bicycles which
cost the firm SIS and $50 at profitable
prices. Ex-Police. Commissioner McClave,
he said, had invested upwerds of 800, 900
in the bicycle business n the liabilities
might exceed that amount. Mr.. McClave
is still in the lumber business. All his in
dividual creditors in the lumber business
win be called together at once to decide
whether he shall make an assignment or
not. If the stock of the bicycle firm can
be sold ait cost it will be able to pay in
full. but if it is sacrificed, il Is thought,
there wifi be a large loss. Mr.. Shepard
could not give any idea of the assets.

MILLAIS IN TIE GOLD FIELD.
Digging. with Pick and shovel In
Australia.

Sir John Millais, who has just died,
was at one time a comrade and intimate
friend of the MARQUIS of Salisbury. It is
not generally known that the late presi-
dent Of the Royal Academy and the pres
ent Premier of the British Government
once worked side by. side. with shovel and
pick, earning their bread by the sweat
of their brow. In the early SOS. when gold
was discovered in the district of Ballarat,
Victoria, man young men of good fam
lily emIgrated to Australia in the hope of
quickly acquiring wealth by picking up
nuggets of gold Among these ~adventur-
ers were John Mflais, who then did not
earn as much With his brush as he did
of late years, and Lord Robert Cecil, who
as a younger son of the old Marquis of
Salisbury had but small chances for the
future, and even those he had made
worse by family disputes. The literary
and newspaper work TO which he devoted
himself did not pay him. and the young
ariStocrat decided. like many other young
bloods. to try his luc On the gold fields
of Ballarat with pick and shovel. Lord
Cecil remained there for eight months,
and that he was not favored by Dame
Fortune may be gathered from the fact
that nevef since then has he made men
ton Of his experience in Ba1larat. The
hut is still shown where the present Mar
quis and Premier made his headquarters
more than forty years ago. Millais re-
manned in the gold fields for almost a
year, but very little is known about his
success there.

while the prisoners, their host and Two or

in such cases, broke up in a row. The

have been scarce, as Werio received only
a stab wound and that was in the arm.

Examination and Is Given EEer Papers

WASHINGTON. Sept. II, 1Ss6.-An in
teresting conflict of opinion between the
Civil Service Commission and the District
Supreme Court over the naturalization of
a young lady who desires to take a civil
service examination has arisen here and
has been decided in favor Of the lady.
Seven years ago Miss Della A. Mealy
arrived in this country from Ireland.
She was but thirteen years Did, and two
years ago took out her first papers.
Several days g she applied TO Judge
Cox for her final papers, They were
granted, although she was not twenty
one years old. She filed the papers with
the Civil Service Commission to prove her
citizenship, but they were refused, and
Endorsed IN the back that the law pro-
hibited any foreigner not twenty-one years
of age from receiving citizenship papers.
She returned to the City Hall with the
Endorsement. and Clerk Young, after con-
suItation with several lawyers. wrote, on
the back that Judge Cox had decided to
admit her. The law in the case outs an
age qualification on a man. but makes no
provision for a woman. The Civil Ser.
vice Commission accepted the papers.
