Something for wheelmen which
VIII Obviate npicasantrieS.

IF IN the country you come upon IL Wu
L man who has i'll any way broken her
bic ycIe or punCturcd Il tire, il is per
fectly proper. and Gcntleman's duty, to
offer to help her. 1t would be distinctly
impoIite To offer a similar help in city.
The city is fuH of repair shops, there are
cabs at any corner. and a woman can easily
help herself there. In the country the case
Is very different. In fact, tie rules of
etiquette bet ween men and women on
bic ycles are precisely the same as they
are between men and women in carriages
or in an y other ordinary circumstances.
The question OF costume is an important
cne also. Every bicyclist. especially men,
should remember that, starting with a
perfectly c1cau SUIT of clothing, after an
hours ride, no matter how expensive and
perfect the costume may have been at the
start. he is in no condition to go among
other people to any extent. A bicyiist
therefore. should never attempt espe cially
in the city, to go into the main dining
room of n hotel IN bicycle costume.
An ordinary bicycle or golf suit-that is,
4 suit precisely like an ordinary business
SUIT. except for knickers and long stockings
may be suitable enough before one goes
out bicycling for the day. bat even at its
best a sweater has no place in the parlor
or the dning-room. Except at a regu-
lar bicycle resort, y small country inn,
where there are few people. or some ath-
letic club. the bicyClist should change his
costume before dining. or, in fact, entering
the pariOr or dining-room OF any public

HER LOVER DIsENCHANTED.
That's the Reason why Bertha Rob
inson Wants S5O,OOO.

New York oct. 27.-Just.ce Giegcrich and
Il jury listened to the particulars Of $50
900 breach of promise suit, brought by Miss
Bertha Robinson, Of Chicago, against David
Weisenberger. Of this city. Miss Robinson
was represented by her brother, Chicago
lawyer. besides law firm in this city.
The plaintiff WHO'S twenty woand prciti
alleged that during the year beginning Jan
uary. 1894. WeisenbergeT woOed, won and
made arrangements to ma Try her. The wed
ding was set for May Of that year. Miss
Robinson, in her complaint, alleged that
she spent $500 for her trouSsedu, and stood
ready t. marry David, but that. through no
fault uf hers he failed to keep his prom
ise. why he did fail is a matter II some
dispute.
In his answer to the complaint WeiSen-
berger acknowledges having agreed to the
marriage, but sets up the somewhat novel
defense JnIt ne WAS indeed to de- - through
fraud a nd rrisTepresc cntauOn upon the part
of his fiancec. He adrlits that n the time
OF the engagement he was, and Is still. u
single man free to marry, but that since the
engagement he discovered. lie alleges, that
Miss Robinson had uiisreprr sented the social
status of herself and family. declaring that
her father wIs dead and that she moved in

all her relatives were respectable people.
Subsequent To the engagement and prior
to the date fixed fr the wedding Weis-
cnberger alleges that he discovered tii-'
plaintiffs father was alive, having oh
taineI a divorce from the plaintiff mother;
also. that he was a gambler and inten-
perate: furthermore, that the plaintiffs
uncle. Abraham Robinson, had been in

FIGURES FOR The FOUNTAIN
Sculpt0r's Work Soon to Be Placed
at the New Library.
of Fine Art in Stone by
New York Artist.

New York. Oct 27.-Considerabie interest
has been aroused among the older as well
as among the nascent sculptors hereabouts
by the Work going on i'll the studio of Row
land Hinton Perry, in Tenth street.
William Ii. Chase's old studio, Where
sweet bells iangled in tune upon The door,
and bric-a-Drac ran lavish not, has been
transformed into clay-besmeared work
room full OF gas pipes and models and other
pitfalls for the feet or the unwary. From
there, With two workmen in blue biouses
to add a note OF calm color. Mr.. Perry has
already sent to the foundry Two OF the
most important figures OF the fountain
wnich rs 10 be placed in front OF the new
Congressional Library in Washington.
The position accorded the fountain is an
admirable one FOR giving the proper value to
serious IA ndclaSsical work. The basin, which
is a semicircle about fifty feet in diameter.
is situated in front OF the steps which lead
up on each side OF the terrace to the library
building. This gives the marble race OF
the terrace for a background, the wall hav-
ing three deep inches in its surface.
In the center niche. ON a rough granite
rock lis to be the Neptune, figure ofheroic
size. Against the rock ON either side or 1t
lean Tritons blowing conch shells. Beneath
the rock at the front Il huge sea serpent
seems to escape, while in the inches bet ween
the serpent and the Tritons two frogs will
spout jetsOf water across the basin.
The inches at the SIDES VIII contain
Oceanides-one "a male figure, the other II
femalc-ast ride OF rompiDg sea horses
BESIDES the streams which they viii direct
toward the central figure there Will he
NUM- eruus others sent inward from the
outer edge of the semicircle by haf-sub-
merged turtles.
This commission. which is being carried
out in work of such artistic simplicity and
dignity, is one OF much financial value, as
well as one sure to give an International
reputation to a very young man. II was
awarded Mr. Perry as direct result OF the
series of bas-reliefs which he did for the hall
and main staircase of the library.
These 6as-reliefs have been elabor-
ateiy praised by competent and
careful critics. Launt Thompson. who was
little given to enthusiasm. said of them 1t

THE OUTDOOR WONAN.

UNDOUBTEDLY this is the day f.the
u bicycle. SO apparent is the fact to
every one that Il statement like the
above is in small danger of being disputed
anywhere. And yet horseback riding is
far from becoming the lost art that some
OF the most enthusiastic advocates of
wheeling would have US believe. Probably
there is not quite SO much of IL as there was
before the Introduction of the bicycle, but
l think the difference is more fancied than
real. So many thousands OF people who
could never have hoped to be able to
keep saddle-borscs are now riding wheels
that the followers OF the older sport are
made to seem exceedingly few by Com
parison. Those who have actually given up
the borse for the bicycle cannot, I maiii-
tain, be count ell in tile large numbers which
many have pretended. and in the majority
of cases where this has occurred economical
considerations have had fully as much to
do with the change rs the matter of
preference.
