BICYCLE "BlNS" THE LATEST.
A New Scheme to Care for Numerous
Wheele In Great Cities.

"A New SCnem0 20 C0F0 ZOE N01uoxU0S
Wheels In Great Cities.
The latest development in cycling
circles is the formation of a company
which will establish bicycle bins" all
over the metropolitan district. With
in week so of these establishments
will be in operation, and when the reg
ular season opens next spring that
number will probably have been in
creased ten to fifty fold.
The organization is known as the Cy.
,clists' Protective league. It has been
incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey, with capital stock of 500, 900.
with par value of $40 share.
The plan in contemplation is to estab.
lish from 500 to 5000 "bicycle bins" in
and around New York city. At each of
these bins members will be afforded
valuable privileges, such rs storage for
wheels, arrangements for repairs, tot
lct-rooms. etc. The charge to members
will be So month, or $40 year. This
will include an insurance policy cover
ing bicycle accidents, allowing $1,000
in case of deathand SIS a week indemnity
for injuries sustained while cycling.
These insurance policies will be issued
by all insurance company already in
business, and in issuing them the Pro
tective league will act merely as an
agent.
"There is great need of for some such
enterprise" said one of the officers, land
we think we have good thing not only
for ourselves, but for the public at
large. We shall offer the same advan-
tages to transients that we do to regu-
lar members, only the rate will be a lit.
tie higher. That is, we shall charge
ten cents a day for storage at any Of
the bins. With so many cyclists living
in flats. bins in residence localities
should be profitable. Nearly everyone
would pay So a month for storage rather
rather than carry wheel up and down.
stairs. Men who ride their wheels to
business can store them in bin conven-
lent to their Offices or shops during tie
daytime. Thus storing them at each
end of trip would cost less than
two fares each day."
Should the plan pro7e profitable in
New York the business will be extended
to other large cities. Besides the ac-,
commodations outlined above, the
league will sell and rent bicycles, fur
nish repairs, clean machines and do q
general bicycle business. Some of the
bins will be connected with refresh
ment stands and restaurants, and 9th
ers will be run Independently. Coupon
books will be issued 10 members of the
league which will be good at any bin.
Fifty of these bins will be in operation
during the present week, and others
will be established as rapidly as possi-
ble.-N. Y. World.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.
Disfranchisod.

It is claimed that the adoption Of tho
constitutional amendment will deprive
nearly one-half of the voters Of the
state Of their right to vote.
On the basis of the census of 1898.
SO counties have about $500 legal
voters, of whom about 165, 900 are for
eign born. OF the 16s, 600 persons who
have taken out first papers in these
counties, some have removed and some
are dead, but their places to a consid-
cradle extent have been taken by for
eign born voters who have taken out
papers in other states. There may be,
therefore, not far from 40. 600 voters
who cast their ballots at the polling
places in these counties at the late
election who cannot vote in the coming
spring elections, nor in the state cleo
ton of 1898. until they have taken out
