ON THE DECLINE.
Telling On In Trade In Cycle Materials
with the United States.

csuiAG On In Trade in Cycle Materials
with the United States.
Consul George F. Parker writes the
department of state from Birmingham,
England, that trade with the United
States in cycle materials continues to
decline. The steel tube trade reaccd it's
highest development during the De-
cember quarter, when tubes to the
value OF S251, 651 were sent to the United
States. During the June quarter tubes
to the value of s130,253 were shipped
and for the quarter ended September
80 last shipments were reduced to s67,-
7S7.
Many of the contracts made by the
American cycle makers have expired
and others are running out, and Mr..
Parker is of the opinion that the trade
In these products viii practically cease
by the end of 1897. No complete bicy-
cles have been sent to the United States
from Birmingham for some time. On
the other hand a good many American
machines have been sold in the Bir-
mingham district. 1t is not safe to pre-
dict how long this. demand will con-
tinue, but as trade conditions have i'm
proved generally during the past year,
it is likely that considerable number
of machines of good quality may be
sold, if offered at prices slightly lower
than those ruling for the same kind in
Birmingham.

DRESS TOO WELL IN CHURCH.
DIR. Judson Says Churches Should Work
as Do Saloons.

persons who go to church dress too
we'll. They spend too much money in
the erection of costly church buildings
instead of building many smaller ones.
Churches are kept open too few hours
in the week" Briefly. these were the
declarations of Rev. Edward Judson,
who presided the other night in tho
Judson Memorial church, Washin gtor
square, New York city.
DR.. Judson took for his subject: "The
Saloon the Poor Mans Church" He said
there is in most church congregations a
scarcity of men, and one compensation
for this Is that in the saloons there
is scarcity of women.
"The churches" said DR.. Judson,
SHOULD work on the same lines as the
saloon. Every evening there should be
q place where a man can 60 and spend
his time pleasantly.
'Tn the Fifteenth assembly district"
said he, "there are % blocks, 10000
persons, 1o1 saloons, and only nine
churches. No one refuses TO go
into 4 saloon because he is not well
enough dressed. though many refuse
10 go into a church for this reason.
What a help il would be IL church
goers would attend in their everyday
attire"

BULLDOG STOPS A RUNAWAY.
This Brute Can De Better Than Chew CD

Councilman Bungay. Of Spokane.
Wash, has bulldog that is worth own
ing. Outside of keeping troublesome
dogs away from the store and lighting
worthless ours it has developed q new
power. 1t stopped q runaway horse.
Everyone going out on East Spragua
street knows the dog. He lies in front
of Mr.. Bungay's store, and il friendly to
all who treat him kindly, but a terror
to others.
The other day he was taking nice
nap when he was awakened by cry OF
Runaway" A delivery horse had
broken the weight from the hitching
strap and was coming down Sprague
street at a lively gait. The dog saw
what was up, and at once located tbs
strap dragging on the ground. He
made a jump for one end, getting his
teeth firmly fastened in It the first
time. The speed Of the horse was sufh-
cient TO jerk the dog into the air. but
he held on 10 the strap all the time, and
when he could brace himself for a mo-
ment would set hts feet into theearth
and jerk back. The horse could stand
this only short distance, finally being
brought TO a standstiil.
A number of men ran out and took
the animal by the bride, and as soon as
they did 50 the dog let go OF. the strap
and. shaking the dust of himself. saun-
tered back to the store. goingito sleep in

WORK THAT GOES BEGGING.
Employment offered Idle Men WHICH
Meets with Little Acceptance.

Endowment offered Idle Men Which
Meets with Little Acceptance.
It is asserted in some quarters that
Chicago has at present large number
of unemployed men. While this is not
improbable, as business has been eX'
eeedingly dull during the summer, yet
the following experiment would in
dicate that many might be earning
living who are now burden to them
selves and their friends:
On recent Monday there was a group
of men on the fifth floor of Dearborn
street Office building. They had come
in answer to an advertisement and were
admitted one after another into the Of
flee of manufacturing firm in good
standing. One by one they came out,
also, and passed to the elevator, sew
eral as they went making some Jeer
or fippant remark to those that were
still waiting. When all were gone
reporter who had witnessed the scene
called in to investigate.
I'm perfectly sick of it," was the
managers observation, after prclim-
mary talk. This is the fourth Mon
day I have tested crowd of employ
ment seekers. about 40 each time, and
as yet we have only got five men at
work. / started over a dozen OF them,
but all have since dropped out but these
five. though we have nice work and good
compensation for at least 60. The man
handling our goods can make money.
From $50 to $50 week can certainly be
made on it, even with an allowance for
hard times, and yet men who are sup
posed to be furnishing for work are
either unfit for this or will not hang on
% it." .
perhaps you are trying to engage
superior class of men?'
NO, certainly not: We are simply
trying to get clean, intelligent men.who
can talk American speech and be or
dinarily polite. When 1 finally send
men out, using my best judgment in
their selection, it is fact that about
one out of five are all that win sue
cess.
"The fact is that a majority of the
men are too lazy. They want to earn a
livelihood by the smallest possible out
lay of effort. They think there should
be easy and short ways to a result, and
If such are not provided they will make
them so anyway. The average idle man
is also an intractable man. He Is not
willing to follow the instructions OF
others, even though years of expert
ence crowned by success have given
them the right to instruct and direct.
The poorest stick you meet wants TO be
IN officer the day he enlists."-Chicago

Luminous Sea Crabs.

One of the marine curiosities recently
fshed from the bottom OF the Indian
ocean by a dredging vessel in the en-
ploy of the Calcutta Society of Natural
History was mammoth sea crab which
continually emitted a bright, white
light. similar to that seen in the spas
modic flashes Of phosphorescent lumiIi-
osity kindled by our common glow
worms. The oddity was captured IN
the daytime. and placed IN large tank,
nothing peculiar except us immense
size being noticeable in the broad glare
Of the tropical sun. At night. how
ever, when it was pitchy darkness. the
crab surprised the naturalis's by light
ing up the tank so that all the other sea
creatures, great ard small. could be
plainly seeu.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

TEN HOURS AT A SHOW.
Two Country Girls Get Their Mon.
eys Worth at the Theater.
ADusins Story Of How They Sat Oat
Continuous Perf0rmaacc-Hada Lovely
Time. But Frig htened Their Friends
by Their Long Absence.

Two daughters of Mrs. Fowler, who
lives with the family OF ex-Mayor Pear
son. of Allegheny, Pa, came to town
the other day TO visit their mother. The
girls live in Greene county and are
unused to city ways. Among other
plans for their entertainment it was de-
cided to take them 20 a theater. The
girls had often heard of the theater, but
had never been to one. They were full
of expectancy and asked their mother
what time they should go. The mother
told them at one o'clock. And when
the hour arrived, mother and two
daughters set out for the Avenue
thcater, Fifth avenue. The girls. of
course. were rugged out in their best at
tire, and they entered the showhouse in
ample time. The mother bought two
tickets and left her daughters in the
vestibule. She admonished them to re-
turn as soon as the play was over.
Being continuous show and the fact
that the girls had never entered the
door of theater before, they were not
aware of the character of the perform
ance. and they necessarily sat out the
entire session, which lasted from one
o'clock in the afternoon until IL
o'clock at night. The girls, il they
didn't mean to have their moneys
worth, undoubtedly got it.
The fact that the girls didn't report
ut the ex-mayor's house after the usual
matinee performance alarmed Mrs.
Fowler and the ex-mayor and his
family. and by seven o'clock anxiety
ran high. 1t was thought that the
girls had strayed away or had met will,
some accident. An hour afterward it
became quite alarming, and the ex-
mayors household agreed to hunt the
missing ones. Each member OF the
family took a different route and the
ex-mayor himself queried the police
department. All the Allegheny and the
Pittsburgh police were on the lookout
for the two innocent country girls.
while the maidens themselves were
laughing at the sights they saw at the
Avenue. After fruitless search for
the girls those who were hunting for
them returned at 1920 o'clock, and a
half hour afterward the girls turned up
al the ex-mayor's home as clipper as
spring larks. saying they had enjoyed
themselves hugely. They had sat the
show out, ten hours.
