1t may be something peculiar to
the eastern climate, to the dust OF
the eastern roads, or to some pecu-
lisrity about the eastern method of
riding, but the fact remains that down
Philadelphia way bicycle riders are in
large numbers affected by what dem
fists call "receding gums" The offices
of the dentists, according TO a Phila-
delphian's tale, are overrun with
wheelmen and wheelwomen who want
to know what is the matter with their
teeth. They complain that they
have more and more exposed ivory
surface for every day that they live,
and that unless some remedy is speed
lily found they will all either be fang
toothed or lose molars incisors and
CANNES altogether.
The story goes that it took the
dentist long time to find out that
tho complaints come only from riders
Of the wheel. They put two and two
together, and have put peremptory
stop to the riding of wheels in the
Quaker City until they can evolve
remedy for bicycle teeth. Dentists
laugh at the story, and they say that
there are no such things as bicycle
teeth in Philadelphia, and they add
that they don't believe they ride fast
enough in Philadelphia to injure any
part Of the anatomy.-Kansas City

mHunting, Mahogany Trees.

While the camp is being made, says

Philadelphia Times, the "hunter" is
off exploring. The precious swiete-
mia mahogani does not grow in
clnmps and groves like our pine and
walnut, but each monarch stands
alone in solitary state, amid a dense
growth OF other huge trees, its trunk
concealed by wild tangle Of vines,
orchids, and underbrush, requiring
the closest attention OF the inexperi-
enced woodsman to detect it. Ia

are SO thick that one can hardly force
his way between them, he whole hung

Live Lizards In the Rock.

Live lizards we're found in the
rock of the Lux & Talbot limestone

While the men we're cutting ont the
solid rock they hit series of pockets.
In each one of these was found live
lizard They we're taken ont, but
died few minutes after being ex-
posed to the air. They we're OF PEI

we're places for eyes, there we're no

evident fact, that the lizards were liv-
ing thousands and thousands OF years
ago, and that they were entombed
when the rocks we're formed. There
we're no air passages into their strange
homes, and no way in which they
could get any nourishment One or

REVIVE THE RESCUE WORK,
Mrs. #. B. DOran Back of a New
Movement.

AS before stated in the Globe,
there is some prospect that the rescue
work, recently discontinued by Mrs. S.
V. Root because she was not support
ed financially, will be resumed, and the
women agitating the question of re-
Stunning are Mrs. T. B. Doran, the wife
OF the mayor Of the city, and Mrs.
A. N. Bartell. Both of these women
are West side residents, and so active
have they been in their canvass of that
portion of the city that Friday Mrs.
D0ran sent to Mrs. Root a pledge of a
fair amount of money and no end of
aid along other lines than those finan-
cial. Mrs. Doran says that she is not
sure they will be successful, and has
not seen any one in other parts Of the
city, but intends to keep talking and
working for this cause, and hopes to
get all the women interested and gain
their aid. Members of the different
local unions were seen in regard to the
matter, and all depressed themselves
as in sympathy with the work, and as
feeling that such a home as the Refuge
is sadly needed in st. Paul. Many of
the churches and church societies
have been approached in the matter at
different times, and the members all
feel that if it were only pushed a lit
tie all would respond. Both Mrs. Doran
and Mrs Bartell are very earnest in
their desire to see the Refuge reopened
and will not give up their endeavors
till they find that defeat is inevitable.
Mrs Root has not responded to Mrs.
Dorans report as yet.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATS
VIII Keep Up the Organization and
the Work.

National Democrats of Minnesota are
to have their party preserved to them
and the regenerated Democracy of
the state will rise triumphant in future
campaigns While the headquarters In
the Merchants hotel have been closed
rooms have been secured in the Ger.
mania Life building and the work OF
preparation for the future will go oil
as though the party had not met de-
feat a week ago. It is the intention OF
the party managers to obtain COM
plete analysis Of the vote of the last
election. If possible the name Of every
Democrat who voted for Bryan, or for
Mckinley or for Palmer will be Sc
cured and a canvass made to ascertain
as nearly as possible what the future
party affiliations of these voters will
he. In every community there are
enough sound money Democrats to
organize club, and these will form
the nucleus of the movement that viii.
be 1naugurated to preserve the Ma
tlonal Democracy, as a party, as dis
tinguiShed from those Democrats who
voted for Bryan and supported the
Chicago platform. The Bryanites, the
free silver Democrats, are disposed to
regard themselves as the Democratic
party, but under the law by fusion they
have lost that name, and will likely b f.
denied a place on the official ballots
n future elections. The National Dem
t'crats are not expecting a compromises
with the Bryanites-they will ask for
no quarter and will give none. There
lore, there is much uneaSineSS over the
situation at the diSmantled headuQuar-
tiers OF the Bryan Democracy-even at
this early stage in contemplating the
future Of their party organization.

HAINES IS IN JAIL.
Iowa Farmer Charged With a Big
Forgery,


F. A. Haines, thirty years old, a.
farmer by occupation, and. living on a
farm near Altoona, To-, was arrested
yesterday morning by Patrolman Mil
Ter on a charge of attempting to pass
forged check. HaineS some two
years ago entered into an agreement
with Harold J. Lohrbauer, a land agent
at 1877 East Third street, to purchase
farm in Barron county, Wis. Haines
gave notes for the property, which
We're secured by a mortgage. Haines
concluded that he had been given the
worst OF the bargain, and conceived a
plan by Which he could even up with
Lohrbauer, and also get enough money
Tor himself to start in business again.
The first step was to write to the St
Paul Savings bank and inquire Wheth-
er Lohrbauer's check would be good
The bank officials informed him that
Lohrbauers check was las good as
gold" This settled the business. and
Haines started for ST. Paul, arriving
here yesterday morning at O'Clock.
The bank was not open, so he waited
around until after 9 o'clock, and then
drew out a check for 81, 2S5, payable to
+. r. Robb or bearer, and signed it H.
j. Lohrbauer. He presented it at the
cashiers window, but the work was so
coarse that Cashier Meier tumbled at
once. Asked where he got the check
HaineS said he wrote it himself He
was told he could get no money on it,
but interrupted the cashier by asking
: II IN a letter the cashier had not told
him Lohrbauer's check was as good as
gold. Fatrolman Miller was notified of
the fellow actions, and took him to
the central station. In his possession
was found IS in cash and an old re-
volVer. Haines either has had expert
ence with police officers or else he had
been posted by some one, for on his
arrival at the station he offered to
give up the money he had on his per-
son and the revolver as we'll if the Of
ficers would let him so. Seeing this
offer had no effect, he agreed to throw
in his bicycle, which was at the union
depot. Haines claims to have a wife
and daughter on the farm near Al
toona, 10. The prisoner was arraigned
in the police court yesterday afternoon
and had his case continued to Wednes-
day. In default of bail, he was re-
manded to Jail. From his actions, the
police are of the opinion that Haines
is slightly demented. He says he has
been in a hospital for treatment at
Des MOines, and that his head has
troubled him for several years The
revolver which was found in his pos
session he says he had to shoot at dogs
which bothered him while riding his
bike in Iowa.

the Republican state central committee. but
has since been held on some cid charges Of
obtaining money under false Lretenses in
Illinois. Smith, through his attorney, J. w.
Pinch, secured his release writ OF habeas
corpus once, but was Immediately rearreSted
on a new charge, and has since been held.
He charged that he was arres cd for political
reasons, pointing to the affidavit of promi-
nent Republican politicians III his prosecu-
ton in support of his charge.

all garments and articles made and
donated by the members will be re-

and one which does more or less good
work along charitable lines The
branches, as they are organized locally,
consist of a president and several Sec
ton presidents, each of whom has a
limited number Of women to work with
her. Each of the women of the society
is expected to donate some article to
the society during the year, the dona-
tons to take place annually. The arti-
Giles collected are then sorted out by the
women and sent to several of the local
charitable institutions. The society is
one that has grown wonderfully since
organized, and nearly every large city
in the Union has a branch. New sec
ton presidents this year in st. Paul
are Mrs. r. A. Woodruff, Mrs II. B.

HULETT WILL CASE.
1t Was Argued in the Supreme Court
Yesterday.


An interesting and totally new point, so far
as Minnesota is concerned, was argued IN the
supreme court yesterday in the case Of the
estate of Nehemiah Hulett, of Duluth. 1t is
whether a mans marriage invalidates will
made prior to that marriage.
Mr.. Hulett, who was supposed to be a
bachelor, left an estate valued at nearly half
a million, which he bequeathed to his broth
ers and sisters. Shortly after his decease,
however, Mrs. Pomeroy, whom Mr.. Hulett
had employed as housekeeper. produced a
written contract signed by herself and HUI
lett, establishing a common law marriage.
Mrs. Pomeroy, or Mrs. Hulett, as she calls
herself, contested the will and won in the
lower court, although Huletts relatives
claimed that the marriage contract was a
forgery, and that even if it were valid
document, the widow would only be entitled
to her rights of dover.
Mrs. Hulett, however, claimed that not only
was she entitled to her rights of dover, but,
inasmuch as there were no children as a re-
suit of the marriage, that she was entitled to
the residue of the estate, which would other
wise have gone to them, as against the col
lateral relatives.
