Rube ON n Bicycle.

wv YIN -
William Shields, of Massachusetts, is in
the city playing the part of ''Rube on a
bicycle" He is an expert rider, but does
not always do just what he is able to 10,
Yesterday afternoon he rode down the Cap
itol steps ON an Outing and Will ride down
the monument steps at l o'clock to-day on
the same waee,. His costume is SUFFICIENT
to attract a large crowd wherever he goes,
In Cincinnati and Dayton he rode from
the second-story windows of business
houses down a ladder. He will probably
not attempt that feat here. for he has
fund no one willing to pay as much as
he wants for thus risking his life. In Gin
cinnati he used an old bicycle for this
feat and as he provided nothing TO break
the angle of the lower end of the ladder
and the pavement the wheel made first
class junk when he picked up the pieces al
the bottom. In Dayton he prepared for this
emergency and placed a board OF one OF
the lower rounds of the ladder, extending
out to the street, so as to lessen the angle
at the bottom. BY this plan he was enabled
to make the ride without injury to himsel
or the wheel.

Summer Hotels Fix Rate on Cats, Dogs
and Birds.

Summer Hotels Fix a Rate on Cats, Dogs
and Birds.
A great many people in New York re-
ceived during the past few days an inter-
esting announcement which may serve to
simplify their plans for the summer
months The hostility of the summer
hotels toward domestic pets is we'll
known, and the stern rule which BAN
ishes them to the bathing house OF the
stable often mars an otherwise happy so
journ. But the case which the pres
ent enterprise seeks to cover is one that
does not so often confront the summer
boarder. 1t is usually the dog and not
the cat that makes the trouble, and the
advertisement that has recently been
sent literally abroad recommends a
home for pet cats where the best Of
care is promised, and where they will
be housed. to quote the circular, lin a
large new house with wire-covered runs.
This retreat is situated in neighboring
state within easy reach of the city. One
cat will be boarded for a month for So,
and two cats will be accommodated for
S.. Anybody fortunate enough to pos
sess three cats can secure shelter for
them at proportionately lower figures.
This establishment combines with the
keeping of cats the board Of another
species of domestic pet which seems to
indicate that the proprietor has sense
of humor. Canary birds are assured
of comfortable quarters and attention ut
the rate of S1.50 week. Any merciful
owner of cat would be inclined to
think twice before condemning her pet
to stand such nervous strain as q pro-
longed sojourn in a boarding house for
canary birds.-New York Sun.

Got His Commission.

N. j. Il. Dana. whom Mr.. Cleveland
recently nominated to be first deputy
commissioner Of pensions has the record
of having been one of the best officers
of the Federal army. He entered the
army as a captain in the regular service,
and quickly rose to the command of q
Minnesota regiment, being afterward APP
pointed to a brigadier- generalshlp by
President Lincoln. He was a strict dis
ciplinarian, and the men who served un-
der him were specially fond of telling
anecdotes of Dana which We're not al
ways fattering to his vanity. One of
the best Of these relates to his trip to
Washington to see Mr.. Lincoln about
his promotion. When Mr.. Dana pre-
ferred his request to be appointed a
brigadier-general the President cut him
off with the statement that he wanted
recruits more than brigadier-generals.
'Chis decision did not phase Dana.
''But, Mr.. President" he argued Il am
sure you did not hear my full name,
which is Napoleon j. t. Dana"
Napoleon was a great man" sid Lin
coin, ''and if he were here I would put
MIN in charge of the Army of the Po-
tonac. But. as | said before, we need
recruits far more than we do briga-
die1s."

give you my full name. which is Napo-
leon Jackson t. Dana
Il will admit" said the President,
that Jackson was a great soldier, and,
as | said about Napoleon, if Jackson
We're now living, / would be glad to
appoint him commander Of the Army of
the Potomac, but it is not brigadiers we
need at this juncture so much as re-
cruits, to end this cruel war

The Coming Watermelon.

Seventy two million pounds of water
melon is what the railroad and fruit
men estimate will be raised in Florida
this year. This is equivalent to 3,00O,
600 MELONS, which, if placed end to end,
would make chain of watermelons
$50 miles long, or further than from
Jacksonville to che city of Washington.
What a picture to cause the astonished
smile on the face of the average negro
to broaden into a laugh of great glad
ness. To carry these melons to market
a train of 5000 cars would be necessary,
and this train would be nearly nineteen
miles long. But our friend Of the Afri-
can persuasion need not change his
glad smile into a look of lugubrious
meditation All these melons are not
going to leave Florida. Some are going
to stay right with us. and this summer
a kodak fend will find happy snapshot
on the shady side of many a grapevine
fence in the shape of two empty melon
rinds, a sleeping negro, with a rim of
flies dancing war dance around his
yawning mouth. Railroad men say that
this years crop will be three times larg-
er than that of last year, and the pros
poets are brighter for better prices, as
there will be only half melon crop in
Georgia to compete with.-Florida

Pathetic Hotel Story.

did you see that man register?' asked
the clerk of a Washington hotel as
sad-faced man turned away from the
desk. He had written his own name and
another on the record. He has been
coming here for four or five years chat /
remember continued the clerk. 1.-THE
name that follows his own is that Of
his son, though the latter has been dead
for three years. 1t is case full of sad
ness. The man makes regular trips to
the city, and he used to always bring his
boy, bright-looking youth of about 16.
The father was very devoted to him, and
the boy did seem to be a rafting good
fellow. They always shared the same
room, always went out together, and
seemed chums more than father and son.
But the boy died. The next time the ia
Their came to the hotel there was a
marked change in his appearance. He
walked silently UP to the desk and reg
istered. After writing his own name he
placed that of his son beneath it, just as
he formerly did. I called his attention
to it, but tear came to his eye, and he
said nothing, so | Immediately changed
the subject. Ever since that day he has
registered in that manner when he came
to the city. Once in while he will or
der an extra dinner and have it set on the
table beside him, just where his son used
to sit. He never speaks of the boy"
