Centenarians need not now hesitate
to learn to ride the bicycle through fear
they are too old. Gladstone will be 81
in December, and Gladstone is to learn
to ride the wheel so as to accompany his
~favorite grandchild, Dorothy Drew. The
sight of the greatest statesman of mod
ern Europe, aged 81, scorching along
the road on a bicycle will be not the
least of the impressive sights Of this
strange end of the nineteenth century.
Charles Cavill will be notable as the
man who swan the Golden Gate at San
Francisco this autumn. Cavill is an
Australian, and it is to be regretted
that no American was found to perform
the feat, but that does not take away
from the credit Of the performance it.
self. The distance straight across is only
~ miles, only half the width Of the
historic Hellespont, which Leander
swan to meet Hero and finally went
once too often and was drowned. But
the currents in the Golden Gate swim
make it exceedingly difficult to accom-
plish. Cavill started out bravely enough,
but a quarter of a mile from shore he
met the ripple of the outgoing tide.
Experienced swimmers agree that it is
useless to attempt to swim against the
tide. That pouring out through the mar
row Golden Gate channel was like a
mill race. The Australian turned and
let it carry him out till he reached q
point where he took advantage of a cur
rent from the opposite shore. Then he
completed the long and heavy swim. 1t
took him one hour and a quarter to do
the whole distance. Cavill uses the right
side stroke.

1t is by no means certain that when
the history Of Hon. Joseph Chamber
Jain, colonial secretary for Great Brit
ain, comes to be written the most not
able achievement of his life will not be
the work he did when he was mayor of
his home city of Birmingham. The
Century Magazine contains q detailed
account of the changes he was mainly
instrumental in bringing about in the
municipal government Of Birmingham.
The story is written by George F. Par

self expressed as follows:''A regulated
monopolles sustained by the state in the
interest of the inhabitants generally
should be controlled by the representa-
tjves Of the people and not left in the
hands of private speculators.' This
was the doctrine which had hoated him
into office, and he had behind him the
public sentiment of the Birninghamites.
1t was necessary to pass a bill through
parliament making the desired changes
in the city's charter permitting the mu-
nicipal government to buy the public
works. The gas plant was the first
property purchased by the city council.
The price paid was a little more than
$4,000, 900. The price of gas was at
once slightly reduced at the same time
that great improvements were institut-
ed. The municipal ownership of the gas
works has resulted both in improved
service and a considerable profit to the
city.
Then the city waterworks were pur-
chased il like manner and improved.
The tenement house evil was attacked.
The city itself undertook and success
fully carried through the building of
extensive tenements, which it owns and
derives rents from. The streets and
parks were o~verhauled, enlarged and
also greatly improved, while the general
sanitary condition was rigidly looked
into. The result is that the annual
death rate of Birmingham has fallen
four in the thousand. The city owns
and operates the street railways. A
sewage farm Of 1900 acres is part of the
municipal property. The changes for
the better in all respects have been. ow-

The Campaign That Was.

Apart from the atrocious lies with
which some speakers and writers deemed
1T necessary to embellish their contribu-
Itions, the presidential campaign just
passed has been conducted with remark
able intelligence and ability. 1t was
more thoroughly a campaign Of eduoa-
tion than we have had since the war. It
Is notable that brilliant, fiery or senti-
mental oratory met with little favor.
Facts, or what were believed to be facts,
and solid arguments were called for by
audiences. 1t is certain that the day of
funny stories has passed in political
campaigning. Men, women and chill
dren even down to a tender age read.
studied and asked to be informed in
monetary science. Never were the prin-
c'ples of finance in all their phases SO
generally searched into by the common
people of any nation before.
DR.. Shaw remarks in The Review of
Reviews:
The spectacle of millions upon millions of
cltlzens OF a great nation debating the intri-
cacles OF the currency question certainly has
its curious aspects. Nothing like it was ever
seen in any other great country before. What
ever questions may at one time or another dis
turb the minds of the mass Of men who hold
the franchise in England, France, Germany or
other European countries, the plain people
have never for a moment believed it possible
that they We're competent to settle currency
and banking questions on the plan of the pop
ular referendum. These are matters involv-
ing scientific and expert knowledge. The in
tense discussion Of 1896 in this country will not
have resulted III making accomplished none
tary scientists out of a majority Of the popu-
lation. Nevertheless the serious and honest
effort of the voters to find out enough about
these questions to act with reasonable intelli-
gence and prudence can only produce valu-
able results in the end. 1t is u part Of our
education as a democracy.

A notable feature of the Hungarian
millcnnial celebration was the formal
opening of the Danube in the portion
which has SO long o%bstructed navigation.
The Iron Gates Of the Danube were a
series Of rocks that made it's channel ex-
tremely dangerous for steamers for a
distance of five miles in one portion Of
its length. For six years the Hungarians
have been blasting out these rocks. It
was an enterprise larger even than clear
ing East river at He'll Gate. But the
work is done, and Emperor Francis Jo-
seph himself formally dedicated the
channel, amid the cheers of thousands of
his subjects. The Danube is now open
from the head OF navigation to the OAR
danelIes.

ing largely to the honesty and efficiency
OF the councilmen and municipal serv-
ants, marvellous.

There are those fond Of calling ours
degenerate times and of saying that
heroism and self sacrifice are dead, slain
by greed and cowardly s%elfishness. But
there are heroes still. There is as much
OF the spirit that would lay down life
for another as there ever was. 1t comes
to the surface when there is great occa-
sion, as there was in that explosion in Q
coal mine at Wilkesbarre, Pa, recently.
A few men were at work in No. l,
changing the air course in the tunnel.
Suddenly those on the outside heard
an explosion. A blast of air and gas
poured out Of the mouth of the tunnel
like the sweep of a tornado. There
was a sound of wreckage and flying
debris, then a horrible silence. Men
rushed toward the mouth of the mine.
The first thought of all was for the men
inside. Were they living or dead? In
less time than it takes to write it a res
cue party was formed. 1t was a volun-
teer party, and those who led it were
the old fire boss, William R. Jones, and
the assistant mine foreman, John Joseph.
They knew if they did not return their
children would be fatherless, yet know
ing this they hesitated not a second, but
hurried down the shaft if possible to res
cue their comrades. The rescuers had
not proceeded far before the choking fire
damp caught them, as they had fearedi it
would. They made a hasty exploration
and returned to the light and air. But
they left two Of the rescuers lying dead
in the mine, William Jones and John
Joseph.
