"A Novel Way to Avoid Arrest When
: Ones Bicycle Lamp Goes Cut and
There Is no Way of Relightin it.
There is one way in which a cyclist
can ride through the streets Of New
York at night without a light OH his
machine and not 0e subject to arrest.
In two instances it has been tried with
success, and the lightless rider in each
instance avoided arrest by means of Il
string, just a little piece Of common
wrapping cord.
This simple means Of avoiding arrest
lis to tie a piece of string from the han
die bar of the machine, whose light
has gone out, and tie the other end of
the cord to the saddle post of ma
chine on which there is a light. The
two machines thus tied together are,
in the eyes Of the law, tandem.
Chief Conlin, when asked for an
opinion on the matter. said that two
bicycles so Joined together were to all
sintents and purposes tandem. There
lis no law which says tandem snail
have only two wheels, and as tandem
means one before the other, the wheel
man is perfectly safe in attaching an
unlighted machine to one which car
.ries. a light, and thus improvising a
tandem. and in such cases the police
have no authority to make an arrest.

z Dog Catches Fish,

William ClaWSon, q fisherman of
South Plainfeld, N. j., is the owner of
a dog of which he may we'll be proud
The animal, which looks like an ordi-s
nary cur, is possessed of an inteIli-
gence far above that of other animals;
of his species. The dog has become
one of the most expert fishermen in the
vicinity, and has the reputation OF
having never lost fish. Mr.. Clawson
and the dog work in company. Arriv-
ing at the stream, his owner will get
the lines ready, the dog watching with,
more than ordinary interest, and when
everything has been arranged to the
mutual satisfaction of the two the dog
will watch the water until he sees that
fish has taken hold Of the line, and
then he will assist in landing it. But
it is when his master goes gigging that
the dog is in his element. Nearby Mr..
ClaWson's S place is a bridge over small
stream in which are number Of carp.
It is Mr.. sClaWson's habit to stand on
the bridge and let down line into the
water, which is so arranged that a fish
in passing will run his head into the
loop prepared to receive him, and so
get caught. The moment that the fish
is caught the dog does his work. Leap
ing into the. water, he grabs the strug-
Cling fish and brings it in safety to
the shore, and he has never been
known to lose a fish caught by him in
this manner. ~ Cincinnati Enquirer.

The City House of To.Da,

The ready-made dwelling -built to

such strides as it has in ministering to
the comfort Of those who dwell in

half of the century was larger than it
has become, but it was a. mere empty

a monotonous row of such boxes. Now
such dwellings are tastefully designed,

TWO STORIES.

The Express recently had two para
graphs in its editorial columns that
should be read together:
The Wilson county populists denounce,
and very properl y, the action OF McMlnn
ard Evans seeking to disfranchise our
Mexican citizens. II the people believed
that the effort would prove more than
Quixotic attempt to create sensation,
perfect storm OF indignation would sweep
over the state"
The other is a quotation from letter
written by ex- Governor Crittenden, U. s.
consul general in Mexico, who, in speak
ing OF the laborlng people of Mexico,
gives this description:
THE laboring people of Mexico receive,
as a rule, very low wages, and i've al
rates. Farm hands get from rs cents to
50 cents a day, are generally In debt to
the proprietor. and whilst 50 cannot
leave, therefore in slavery as long as in
debt. The codntry is full OF pauperism
OF the worst form. The common laborers
Of the United States live in lordly style
compared to those here. The climate
favoring these people, as II is so genial,
they live houseless and homeless almost
the year around, and wear the scantlest,
flimsiest, cheapest clothing, going bare
footed the whole year, or wearing only q
sole Of a shoe tied to the foot and ankles
by strings. These common laborers live
on an average of ten cents day. Meat,
coffee and sugar are unknown and I'M
tasted by them"
This is exactly the class who furnish us
with intention paper voters" and the
Express bowls over them.

o'clock this morning upon Mrs. F.
s. Grimes, Of this city. Mrs.
Grimes had driven her brother-in-
law, Mr.. Hsgerman, down town to
his office and was returning to her

cries OF Mrs. Grimes attracted the
attention of a farmer, who rescued

Big Stocks.

According to figures secured by the
Iron Trade Review. of Cleveland,
Ohio, there were 1854 1914 tons of iron
ore upon docks at Lake Erie ports on
the first of December, this being over
half a million tons more than were
reported at similar period for 1895.
The surplus is great one, and it will
take some time to dispose of it. The
year did not prove as successful one
as was hoped for in the spring, and u
great deal of ore was sent down in the
hope that buyers could be found as
the season progressed. Some of the
ore on docks has been sold, but it is
only small percentage of the total
accumulation.

which are intended to convey the i'm

former. To subStantlate the accusa-

which are at entire variance with the
facts of the case, but in the course of
the article the real grievance is un-

to go slowly. To take any hasty
action would bring other and more
powerful nations than Spain to sup
port the latter. We have certain
treaties that must be respected. A
peaceable solution is far better than a
violent one. It would be better to
purchase from Spain than to fight
her. 1t costs money to fight, and no
one could tell just how far reaching
such trouble might be. There are
islands in both the Atlantic and
Pacific than we need, and that, from
a geographical standpoint. should be
our possessions, but there are two
ways Of securing them, and we believe
the more peaceable to be the better.
Cuba is making very good show
ing against Spain. and if the war lasts
a few months longer she will gain
wonderful additions of men and guns.
Volunteers will go there despite the
closest surveillance, and the army of
the insurgents will grow in power and
destructive qualities.-Iron Ore.

THE MARKET AT LARGE.

The feature Of the week has been
large purchases of steel in the Central
West-a market departure from what
is usual at the end of the year, and in
strong contrast with the condition in
every other department of the market.
The hesitation OF the preceding week.
due to the naming of low billet prices
that suggested lower ones to follow,
was quickly Changed by the calling of
another meeting of steel manufact-
urers at New York. The belief was
general that the pool could not pull
itself together so promptly and
establish a price that would be kept,
but the possibility of new agree
ment existed, and tie Industrious
publication of the fact that an SIS
price, Pittsburg. was under discussion
brought many buyers to cover 1t is
probable that inquiries representing
from $50, 900 to 10000 tons of billets,
sheet bars and tin plate bars have
been quoted on in the past 10 days.
and that sales representing fully half
of it have been closed. Prices have
ranged from $3.50 Sl6, Pittsburg and
river mill, for 4 X 4-inch billets, and
as low as Sl6.50 has been named on
II l5-inch billets. which under the
pool agreement were kept 81 above
the base. On Cleveland purchases
$685. TO $3.50 has been the range,
with sheet and tin plate bars at SlS.25
to $3.50. delivered in Cleveland The
fact that some of the prices made are
bedrock to the biggest and best
equipped producers, suggests that the
intention is to create an anxiety for
pool basis, against the meeting of
steel men in New York. early in
January. to which the committee on
a new plan, appointed this week, is
to report.-Iron Trade Review.
