III AND A BICYCLE GIRL.
a Pretty Incident of the viceros's Visit to
BROOKLYN.

Brooklyn.
Perhaps the prettiest incident of the
yiceroy's visit TO Brooklyn was his inter-
view with the little bicycle girl who was
his constant companion from the time he
entered Prospect park until the gates of
the ferry closed behind him.
She appeared at the side Of his carriage
as soon us he entered tho park. No one
knew where she came from, but with u
lace of immovablo gravity she steadfastly
held her way through the park, riding be-
tween two ranks of mounted policemen
and occasionally stealing glance at the
viceroy. She remained at her post from
that time until he entered the Union
League club. He looked at her. nudged
Lo Feng Luh. and smiled delightedly, and
from that time, although he was alive to
everything that went on, nothing took his
syes from his little companion.
When he entered the clubhouse, the lit
Ne wheelwoman rode away, but she kept
near the clubhouse, and when he came out
she was waiting for him. AS If she had
been intrusted with commission to pro-
tect her venerable friend, she started off
when he did and rode by his side down to
the ferryhouse. LII Hung Chang watched
when he was near the ferry he instructed
Lo Feng Luh to call her to him. The lit
tie girl obeyed the summons with stately
composure.
"What is your namcf" said no.

"All right Thon we will expect you, :"
said Lo. But, mind, you must ask your

A big sensation was sprung on the golf

enthusiasm when the result was an

Kennedy was I'm fine form and beat his OPP
ponent by score of 2 up and to play. 1t
was argued all along that he would beat
Dickson and win the gold medal If he
had done this, as was expected, he would
have got the custody Of the international
trophy, valued at $500. The other match
was between Dickson and G.. f. Curtiss Of
Rochester. Never were two players in bet
ter condition or more eager for the contest
TO begin. 1t resulted in victory for Dick
son, the score being 4 up and to play.
Dickson plays good deal on his nerve,
and while playing with Kennedy he paid
no attention to anything except the game.
He remained perfectly cool and collected
when good hit was made and never lost
his nerve as many of the players did In the
games.

evening in response to the red letter call
to attend the regular semi-monthly meet
ing. held in Bunch's Hall, 314 Eighth street.
E.ghty-five per cent of the entire member
ship was present. a number of excuses
from abseDtees were read and accepted.
Part of the special business before the
meeting was the election of Officers.
The point OF la W was raised that no men,
ber could be excused until all of the special
business had been transacted, and as the
election was laid over for the last order
of business, there was a full attendance
during the entire session.
The reports from the Federation of
Labor, District Assembly ;:2d the Labor
Bureau and WOrkingman's Library were
listened to very attentively. The affairs
of the Labor Bureau were discussed with
much interest. and 5-cent monthly per
capita assessment was appropriated for
the support of that institution.
The reports from the agitation committee
on the beer troubles were also favorably
considered and an appropriation Of S5

expense incurred by that committee.
Initiation ceremonies were then held.
Applications from eight persons for men,

propriatc committees. Under the head of
the good of the assembly. the state Of trade

considered very promising. The election

remainder Of the evening and resulted in
what the members considered an excellent
and efficient staff to manage the affairs
Of the assembly for the next six months.

QUICK LUNCHES MAKE FAT MEN
Curious Result of the Habit of Eat

Another evil result to the deadly quick
lunch has come to light. and the complaint
has a foundation of scientific probability
"I've noticed said a man, THAT every
person who acquires the quick lunch habit
gets fat as soon as he has come under
the regular influence of the system Men
who had been thin their whole lives have
begun to acquire noticeable stomachs, and
others with a disposition to stoutness take
on flesh rapidly. 1t is perfectly plain to
see why it happens. These dairy Iuncheons

has not been an exception. It's all right
for the thin men, but for the fat men it's
dreadful. It's so much cheaper for n man
to get fat than to keep thin. When he COM
mences to diet and confines himself to
such things as meat and salads, his luncheor
costs him three or four times as much as
it would If he could eat the sandwiches
and the cakes, and the quality of the food
is not so good. Some philanthropist ought
to open a lunch place where man can
eat cheaply and still keep his figure But
I don't see how he could make it pay.
Something has to be done. however, to

number was $50. Hatton skinned one
