a MILLION s25 BICYCLES.
A Statement that Sewing Machine Com
panies Are in the Business.


New York. January 5. Reports that
the large sewing machine manufacturing
companies are about to produce bicycles
on large scale have Been denied from
time To time, and only one western con-
Germ is reported to have started in the
business. 1t was learned On Saturday
however, that the eastern sewing rua-
chine manufacturers have been at work
for some months preparing for sharp
fight with the regular bicycle manu-
facturers The Singer Company has denied
repeatedly that it was engaged in manu-
featuring bicycles, and officials of the
company denied yesterday that it is en-
gagged in such q project. But, as mat
terssof fact, it is stated that largo eastern
concerns have been Misunderstanding
bicycles, and will throw nearly u million
machines on the market this year at
$25 apiece. Agencies are icing established,
and, it is asserted, that, as no large Gem
missions will be paid, the companies en-
gagged will mako money, although tia
actual cost of any standard bicycle at
first hands has been stated TO be s3I.
Agents familiar with the trade are beiag
engaged.

ENGLISH TEMPER RISING.
They are Getting Tired of prudent
Diplomatic kilograms.

London, January 5.-James Mckenzie
MacLean, member of parliament for the
Cardiff district and proprietor of the Car
diff Western Mail, has written all article
for that paper in which he says:
Emperor Williams message to Pa ul
Kruger is as deadly and unprovoked an
ins ult, ps was ever offered to the head of
a great European power and to any ma
tion ofsequal rank. In facs of these re-
peated insults. from foreign powers, the
time has co me to use a more effective
means of retaliation than protests con
spicuous for prudence and moderation.
The temper of the English, people is
rising. Murmurs among Lord Salisbury S
friends in both houses Of Parliament are
becoming louder and deeper. Emperor
William in proclaimiug the right of the
Transvaal to receive assistance from Ger
many, trampled on international law and
violated the convention of 1884. 1t is tho
clear duty of Salisbury to demand the
withdrawal of that offensive telegram. If
it is not cancelled. he should Immediate
ly recall the British ambassador from
Berlin.

courage the Railroad Tramp.

1t is hard to understand how it is that
the poorly dressed ana presumably poorly
fed t1amps are able to keep out in this
bitter weather and yet they de- and what
is stranger Than anything else, the rail-
road tramps are not off the road yet or
discouraged from attempting to work the
railroads for free transportation. How
they do it is mystery, but at this time
when the ordinary citizen would shrink
from the idea Of taking long railroad
journey outside of Pullman car..they
manage 10 content themselves with box
oars, OF nooks among piles OF lumber on
open freight cars. They are apparently
hardened to cold OF as one railroad man
put it cold proof for they actually
seem to suffer far less from the cold
than the wolldressed and well-fed rail
road men they encounter, and to whom
they are continuing mystery.

Altoona Fa., January GA fire broke
out in the Central hotel a large six story
brick building shortly after four this
morning. Before the flames were extin-
guished one man lost his life and four
were injured one seriously by the failing
walls. The property valued at $3.50, 900,
was consumed
The fire originated in tho cellar OF the
hotel and spread with alarming rapidity
the guests having barely time to escape
Some who did not hear the first
alarm were compelled to flee into the
streets in their night clothing and some
were rescued from the burning building
by the firemen. 1t is believed all escaped,
but several people who Registered are
missing. None Of the guests saved a par
ticle of their belongings. The hotel is
total loss. 1t was owned BY -Amandus
link. Il he loss on the hotel and contents
is $40, 000 and is insured for 500, 600.
The three story brick building occupy

In the morning hour there will probab-

Washington. January 5.-The coming
week in the Senate will depend entirely
uponEthe progress made by the finance
committee. II a meeting is held by mem
bers of that committee, as it probably
will, with no adjournments more for two
or there days at time, Chairman Nor
rill OF the finance committee expects to
have the committee report on both bond
and tariff bill on the regular meeting
day Tuesday. The Democrats of the COM
mittee assert it will be impossible for a
tariff bill to be reported for the good rea-
son it has never been considered in the
full committee and they will not agree
to its report that day.
1t is conceded The bond bill will reach
the Senate with the enacting clause
stricken out and free coinage bill SUBJ
stitured Debate on the free coinage bill
may extend over fortnight, although
the Senators profess they can bring both
coinage and tariff measures to a vote
within that time
The present intention of the finance
committee appears to be to report the
tariff bill as it came from the House. al
though pressure is being brought to bear
upon the committee to increase all the
schedules from. 10 per cent increase fixed
by the House to 20 or 25 per cent. 1t is
not probable the caucus of Republican
senators will be heldHon the bill, but
there have been numerous conferences be-
tween the rank and file leaders for the
purpose of concentrating the whole
strength of the whole Republican vote
against any and all amendments that
may be offered.
The unfinished business before the
Senate is the resolution of Senasor
Elklns. declaring it the sense of,,the Senate
that hereafter no bonds be sold until
first advertising for bids and amendments
thereto by MIR. Butler, prohibiting the
sale of bonds in any manner. This busi-
ness will come up again during the
morning hour Tuesday.
The House will probably settle down
to the transaction Of business according
to usual routine this week. AT present
there is no programme prepared and sew
eral matters will be re ady in a.day or.two
for consideration and action.
Th9 first to be presented will be the re
port OF the committee on rules. This may
come at tomorrow's session, but the
probability is it will not be ready be
fore Tuesday. Up to the present time
the House has been operating under the
rules OF the 5lst Congress and experience
has shown that few slight changes are
necessary. Should the rules be disposed

Making the sound Of Hoof Bsss..

In these days of war plays and stage
realism the sound of hoof beats is worked
into pretty nearly every melodrama
Very few people know how the effect is
produced, and very few, too, could make
the noise right even if they had the ap-
paratus. 1t takes quite lot of practice
to be a good "horse," as it is called
The necessary out6t,eonsists Of q table
ON which is long marble slab covered
with rubber graduated from an inch
thick down TO the thlnness of piece Of

each hand half q cocoanus shell, on the
edge Of which is fastened q horseshoe
He starts in pounding them on the thick
rubber TO initiate hoof beats in the dis
lance and gradually works along to the
thin part as they are supposed to come
nearer, and finally ends up with a clat:

India Rubber Tree Fruit.

The fruit of the india rubber tree is
somewhat similar to that of the Ricinus
communis, the castor oil plant. though
somewhat larger. The seeds have a not
disagreeable taste and yield purplish
oil. 1t is a fairly good substitute for
linseed oil, though it dries less rapidly.
Mixed with oopal blue ana turpentine,
it makes a good varnish. The oil may
be also used in the manufacture of soaps
and photographic inks The seeds are
somewhat like tiny chestnuts, although
darker in color. The Indian girls are
fond of wearing bracelets and necklets

Geese.


The Toulouse are the largest kind and
the Chinese the smallest of the domes-
tic geese. The latter are very hardy and
productive. laying from 80 to 20 eggs
In season. The birds and eggs are
smaller by nearly half than Toulouse or
Embdens. The head is more swanlike in
shape, and the beak is short and very
high up to the head, with q knob be-
tween the eyes. usually black, the beak
being orange. The neck is long and ele-
CANT, and there is a sort of muff Of
feathers and skin under the throat. The
color is often pure white, but gray and
white specimens are sometimes kept,
and both varieties are handsome and
worthy the attention of amateur owners
Of ornamental waters or parkland, al
though the larger specimens are more
profitable
Very early Matched geese are the best
for stock, or very late birds in their sec
ond year, as the eggs are not reliable
for Matching purposes until the parents
are over Is months old. Two geese and
one gander is the best number to begin
with, and after the first year another
goose may be added, but not more than
three geese to one gander should be
kept at any time
