BICYCLES FREE
To Boys and Girls Who Will Get Subscribers for the Daily
 and Weekly Graphic.

The school season has about closed, and books will soon be dis placed ill the mind of every boy and girl by sports and amusements. There is noting so popular at the present day as bicycles, and nothing so coveted by the young of both sex. Most children, however, cannot afford the luxury of a wheel owing to the great cost. In order, therefore, to give everyone an oppor- tunity of securing a good bicycle the GRAPHIC has decided to make the following offers:
 To every boy or girl who secures fifty subscribers to the Daily GRAPHIC for a period of two months or fifty subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC for a period of one year each. will be given $40 De- fiance bicycle.
 To every person securing sixty two-month subscribers to the Daily or sixty yearly subscribers to the semi-Weekly GRAPHIC will be given a $50 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing seventy two-months' subscribers to the Daily or seventy yearly subscribers to the Semi-Weekly GRAPHIC will be given q $60 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing eighty five two months subscriber to the Daily or eighty-fve yearly subscrib- CTS to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given q $75 Defiance bicycle.
 The above offers apply only to new subscribers or to parties taking neither the Daily or Semi Weekly GRAPHIC at the present time-May 4. The subscription price-65 cents a month for the Daily and $50 year for the Semi -Weekly-must accompany every name, else credit will not be given the solicitor. In the event of three or four months subscription to the Daily are secured, a corresponding decrease in the number required will be allowed, but no person will be permitted to subscribe for a longer period than four months to the Daily or one year to the Semi-W Weekly. One canvasser can transfer his list to the credit of another should he fail to get the required number to get a bicycle.
 Defiance bicycles are manufactured and guaranteed by the Monarch Cycle Mfg. Co.,, of Chicago, and are made of the same material used in $l0O wheels. They are, therefore, far superior to most bcheap icycles. The $40 and $50 wheels are for boys and girles and the $60 and $70 wheels for adults. Catalogues containing detailed description of each machine and blanks for canvassing may be had free at the GRAPHIC cffice.
 Now is the chance for industrious boys and girls to get bicycles for a little effort, and the sooner they get to work the eaiser will it be to secure the required number of sub scribers. Who will be the first one to get a wheel?

webster's Point of Order.

Daniel Webster was once addressing
the senate on the dry subject of in
ternal Improvements when the clock
hands came around to the hour of two
But instead of striking twice the clock
continued to strike without cessation
more than 40 times till it was run
down. All eyes were turned to the
clock and business was suspended. Mr.
Webster remained silent until about ~
strokes had sounded, when he thus
appealed to the chair: Mr.. President
the clock is out of order. I have the
floor" The staid and august senate
broke into aH uproarious laugh at the
timely witticism. The joke can never
be repeated in the senate, however, for
the striking part of the clock is nc
longer ever wound up.

During the great heat of summer the
pope after saying mass, goes into the
garden about nine in the morning, and
spends the whole day there, receiving
every one in the garden pavilion as he
would in the vatican. He dimes there,
too, and rests afterwards guarded by
the gendarmes on duty, to whom he
generally sends measure of good wine
another survival of a country custom;
and in the cool of the day he again gets
into his carriage, and often does not
return to the vatican till after sunset,
toward the hour of Ave Maria.
In the evening, about an hour later
at zone of the night" according to old
Roman computation of time-he at
tends at the recitation of the rosary,
or evening prayers, by Mgr. Mazzolini,
his private chaplain, and he requires
his immediate attendants to assist also.
he then retires to his room, where he
reads, studies or writes verses, and at
about ten o'clock he eats light supper.

his chiefs place. Cardinal Mario
Mocenni, acting project OF the holy
apostolic palaces" is received by the
pope when he has business to expound.
On the first and third Fridays of each
month the maggiordomo, Mgr. della
Volpe, is received, and so on, in order,
the cardinal projects of the several
Roman congregations, the under-sec-
retaries, and all others in charge of the
various offices. In the papal ante
chamber there is list of them, with
the days of their audiences.
During the morning he receives the
cardinals, the bishops lad limina," am
bassadors who are going away on leave
or who have just returned, princes and
members of the Roman nobility and
distinguished foreigners.
At ten o'clock he takes a cup of broth
brought by Contra. At two in the aft
ernoon, or little earlier, he dimes.
He is most abstemious, although he
has an excellent digestion. His pri-
vate physician, DIR. Giuseppe Lapponi,
has been heard to say that he himself
eats more at one meal than the holy
father eats in week.
Every day, unless indisposed, some
one is received in private audience.
These audiences are usually for the
cardinal projects of the congregations,
the patriarchs, archbishops and bishops
who are in Rome at the time, and dis
tinguished personages.
When the weather is fine, the pope
generally walks or drives in the garden.
He is carried out of his apartments to
the gate in sedan-chair by the liveried
"sediarii," or chair~porters; or, If he
goes out by the small door known as
that of Paul ", the carriage awaits him
there, and he gets in with the Cam
eriere Segreto Participants, who is al
ways a monsignor. 1t is well to say
here. for the benefit of non-Catholics,
that "monsignori" are not necessarily
bishops, nor even consecrated priests,
the title being really a secular one.

A Building with q Floor Area of SCI 500

The industrial exposition of Berlin,
which will take place in 1896, is rapidly
assuming shape. Almost all the build
ings are under roof, and the artisans
are now busy with the exterior and in
terror decorations. The main build
ing Of the exposition is enormous. 1t
has front of 670 feet, while its depth
is 600 feet. The floor space of this
gigantic building is 591, 800 square feet.
The entire construction is of stone and
iron, while the walls are constructed
of pressed cement boards. The only
wood in the building is used in the
floors and in the framework of the
dome, which, both on the outside and
inside, is covered with sheets of alum
inium. The main building is SO ar
ranged that, after passing two spacious
halls to the right and left of the en-
trance, an immense center hall 535 feet
long by so feet wide divides the build
ing through it's entire depth. To the
right and left from this center hall
there are 10 wings on each side, each

Found the Yarn Factory.
In the town of B. Connecticut,
there is a factory where yarn is made.
A stranger, approaching the town one
day in buggy, pulled up his horse and
accosted farmer who was digging po-
tatoes on the other side of the fence.
"Can you tell me where the yarn mill
is?" inquired the stranger. Certain
ly," was the reply. Keep straight
on until you come to the drinking foun-
tain. Right opposite is a wooden block
with three doors. The middle door is
the one you want. "Thank you," said
the stranger, and drove on. In due
time he came to the fountain, and
sought the middle door of the wooden
block, and it let him upstairs to the
office of the local newspaper. The
other yarn factory, the one which he
was looking for, lay half q mile beyond.

tremely Wealthy.
Strangers in New York city, who
may have occasion to speak on the tel
ephone with one or other of the most
distinguished social lights of the city,
are apt to be annoyed at not being able
to get the right telephone number.
When the central is asked for the
number she asks in reply if you don't
know il. When you reply that you
can't remember it or have lost the
memorandum, she will answer back:
1--WE cannot give you Mr.. Croesus Van
derbilt's house unless you know the
number"
The truth is, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, that the girl would be break
ing strict rules of the company if she
gave this information. Many of the
millionaires and prominent society
people have telephones in their resi-
dences, but only for private use. The
mistress of the mansion makes known
the number only to particular friends,
and in exchange receives their num-
bers. She also leaves her number
with the head of the hospital where
she happens to be on the managing
committee.
Such families put telephones into
their palaces only on the proviso that
their names and telephone numbers
shall not appear in the directory. This
exclusive system is adopted in order
to prevent the annoyance of being con-
stantly rung up by outsiders.

THE P0PE'S DAILY LIFE.
1t Is Full of Occupation from Morn.
ing Till Night.
His Habits Are Much the Same as When
He Was Cardinai-Daily Mass in
His Private Chapel-Every-
Day Routine Work.

Marion Crawford, in an interesting
article in the Century, says that in
spite of his great age, the holy father
enjoys excellent health, and leads a
life full of occupations from morning
till night. He has in no respect
changed his habits since the time
when he lived at Perugia as cardinal.
He rises very early, and when at about
six o'clock in the morning, his valet,
Pho Contra, enters his little bedroom,
he more often finds him risen than
asleep. He is accustomed to sleep
httle-not more than four or five
hours at night, though he rests awhile
after dinner. We are told that some
times he has been found asleep in his
chair by his writing-table at dawn,
not having been TO bed at all. Of late
he frequently says mass in chapel
in his private apartments, and the
mass is served by Pho Contra On
Sundays and feast days he says it
in another chapel preceding the
throneroom. The little chapel is of
small dimensions, but by opening the
door into the neighboring room a
number of persons can assist at the
mass. The permission, when given,
is obtained on application to the
maestro di camera" and is generally
conceded only to distinguished for
eign persons. After saying mass him
self, the holy father Immediately
hears second one, said by one of
the private chapiains on duty for the
week, whose business it is to take
care of the altar and to assist. Ere
quently he gives the communion with
his own hands to those who are pres
ent at his mass. After mass he break
fasts upon coffee and goats milk, and
this milk is supplied from goats Kept
in the vatican gardens-a reminis-
cence of Carpineto and of the noun
taineer's early life.
Every day at about ten he receives
the secretary of state, Cardinal RAM
pollu, and converses with him for a
good hour or more upon current affairs.
On Tuesdays and Fridays the secre-
tary of state receives the diplomatic
corps in his own apartments, and on
those days the under-secretary, Mgr.
Rinaldini, confers with the pope in

MURDER OR DUEL?

At noon yesterday Coroner Pohl and
Sheriff Hare brought over from the
north shore near Point Ellice, of Meg
ler's fish station, the bodies Of Chris.
Veins and Frank o. Nelson, each with
a bullet hole in his body, showing death
by foul means. Veins was for a num-
Der of years bartender at the Resort
saloon. while Nelson was foreman Of
Megler's cannery, and was a well
known and popular man.
Examination of the bodies of the
dead men at the morgue yesterday af-
ternoon showed that Veins had been
killed by revolver shot through the
neck just above the collar bone, and
Nelson by bullet through the head,
The skin was powderburned, indicating
that the shooting was done at close
range. From the best information OBJ
tainable at the present writing, 1t
seems that the tragedy took place
about o'clock yesterday morning. We
jins has been in the habit Of fishing
with a short net in the neighborhood
of his whiskey scow, and occasionally
Nelson would so out with him. They
started out on such an expedition
about o'clock yesterday morning. An

but no particular attention was paid to

STRONG PULL TOGETHER.
VIII Raise the Balance of the Regatta
Funds by Tomorrow Night.

The regatta committees yesterday re-
ported excellent progress, and the ex-
ecutive committee held a short session
at noon and adjourned until l o'clock
tomorrow. The program committee is
reducing its work TO a state Of order,
and promises to list many interesting
events. There is no question but what
the coming carnival will be the larg-
est and most successful entertainment
ever given in Astoria. It will be held
at a particularly favorable time. and
will be the means of concentrating
many notable periods in the history
Of the mouth Of the Columbia.
The committee on subscriptions are
confident that with a long, strong pull
altogether tomorrow on the part Of
those who have not yet contributed.
the balance OF the money necessary
for the successful carrying of OF the
carnival. can be raised and the sub
committees put vigorously to work.
Don't let any false pride or jealousy
stand in the way of your contribution
today. Remember that every dollar
spent will bring back two brothers.
and they will be gold ones at that.

To make this road complete three
things more are needed, and will come
in time. One is a draw bridge across
the head of Young's bay, to take the
place of the ferry; the other is gravel

path two or three feet wide could be
constructed very easily, and would
make this the best bicycle road out Of

work, and we shall have roads here as
