Blown or Iis wheel.

w. ]. James had an amusing acci-
dent the other orning while out
wheeling. Mr.. James had had trouble
with his rear tire, and was fearful it
might blow up. He had been out to
the lower reservoir at Mount Tabor,
and was wheeling back on the side
walk in the Ladd field. Some one, evil
IDENTIFY to startle him, called out: "Get
off the sidewalk" Mr.. James thought
a policeman was after him, and COM
menced to pump with all his power.
There was another wheelman in ad-
vance of him, who was not an expert.
Mr.. James called to him to get out of
the way. AS Mr.. James passed him
his James's) rear tire exploded with a
report like a gun. The other rider was
blown off the sidewalk and into the
gutter. Mr.. James dashed on on the
rim of the wheel until he thought he
was safe. He then looked back, but
could not see the policeman, nor any,
thing of the other man, who went off
the sidewalk. About an hour after the
occurrence a boy reported to an officer
that, while he was riding out on the
Ladd tract, he was ordered to stop and
throw up his hands by a dark-whis-
kered man on wheel. He said he
pulled out. but the man overlook him
and shot at him as he wheeled by. but
the bullet punctured his tire, and he
fell off the sidewals. He was greatly
excited.-Morning Oregonian.

Normandy the cottage which Senator
Hill occupied last summer is a wreck,

Highland Beach and Sandy Hook Is bad

the only spot uninjured was Ocean

The adverse side OF the bicycle craze
is beginning to show itself. OF course
it is all very funny to see Cinnamon
wheeling about town like birds OF
paradise; it is equally entertaining to
go to for a morning spin If one does
not happen to demollsh a cabin car
or make a Grecian nose into a veri-
table pug by too precipitous header
to the hard-hearted road; but 1t Is not
80 humorous when the domestic ma
chinery is regulated by the bicycle
wheel and the machines of mistress
and maid get entangled along with the
question as TO whose hour ii Is out.
In New York It Is absolutely true that
the domestics are the bicycle herolnes
of the hour, and If anybody harps on
the subject of q downtrodden race, let
me point out dozens of servants in the
nattiest of suits, and their male es-
corts in all the bravery Of knicker-

War on Dogs.

The recent raid upon unmuzzled dogs
IN London recalls a somewhat similar
event in Paris during the revolutionary
reriod. But there, troops of stray dogs
formed serious public danger. For as
the prescribed arlstocracy had kept a
great number OF dogs, which, from the
death or flight OF their masters, had
been left homeless and starving, the
abandoned dogs necessarily took to the
streets, and the instincts of a savage
state reviving, formed two great packs,
one resorting to the Bois de Boulogne,
and the other to the Champs Elysces,
and there became a terror as well as
a serious danger to the inhabitants.
And in September, 1898, drastic meas
ures were taken against the dogs. They
were surrounded by battalions of the
National Guards, and driven into en-
closures where they were fusiladed by
the citizen soldiers. More than three
thousand dogs perished. But these
numbers are thrown in the shade by
the London returns of upwards of nine
thouHand dogs captured and eight thou

Special New York Letter.
This is indeed record breaking
year, and the record of money raised
at one time for foreign mission work
has been completely broken in this
city. After a two weeks discussion
OF the history and prospects OF the
missionary work at daily meetings,
the International Missionary Alliance
convention assembled for its final ses-
sion. Imbued with religious fervor,
and with nerves tense with emotion,
the members of the convention assem-
bled in Carnegie Hail. and before the
meeting adjourned pledged to the
cause Of the organization $l12,000, and
contributed on the spot many articles
Of jewelry including watches and rings.
The scene while the collection was be-
ing taken was striking one. Most Of
the people. except those who wished to
give jewelry, kept their seats, but from
| the eager, strained expression on their
faces It was plain that they were labor
| ing under an intense nervous excite
ment, such as affects only those who
have nearly reached the limit of en-
durance.
The remarkable service was the cul-
mination of O convention that for If
| teen days had been in progress at the
Gospel Tabernacle. The Christian and
Missionary Alliance is the title OF the
organization, and It's aim is the equip
ment and maintenance Of missionaries
in foreign countries. The alliance also
practises healing by faith, and many
of its members are persons who have
