The was an alarm of fire in the bar
racks at about 1880 Tuesday evening,
as a result of which the guard was
turned out. Someone threw cigar
stump into a trash barrel back of the
old barracks. The sentinel at the Mil
Ter street gate saw the blaze and
turned out the guard. The soldiers
went over and in few moments had
extinguished the cause of the trouble.
BY the way, the guard at the Gov
eminent building is turned out on oc-
casion of fire in the neighborhood.
Their duty is to do all possible to
check the blaze and to protect the
people. 1t will be remembered that
the guard turned out on the occasion
Of the opera house fire and performed
invaluable service.

WHlRLS OF THE WHEEL

The Colored League of American
wheelmen was organized in September,
1895, and now has total membership
of 3, 500.
Chief Badenoch of the Chicago police
department wants few wheels. He in
tends to mount so of his force of thief
takers on bicycles.
1t is understood that many storage
companies will make bid for the pat
ronage of wheelmen this fall by offer
ing to clean, oil and store wheels dur
ing the winter months at low rate.
A modern simile in love story says,
"a frail young woman chung devotedly
to Egbert as sweater clings to plump
person who has been riding bicycle ON
a day when the temperature marks 81
degrees"
A new thing in the way of bicycle
attachment is circular brush which
may be attached to the chain in such a
way as to keep it free from dust, or may
be used in cleaning. A ball joint han
die bar is also one of the recent inven-
tions.
The bicycle will be factor in the
political parades of 1896. A down town
store exhibits torch to be attached to a
bicycle. 1t is made of tin, looks as
though it would hold over pint of oil
and will make almost as much illumi-
nation as a headlight.

A Bicycle Relief Corps.

A plan for bicycle relief corps for
the benefit of those who are injured by
accident or otherwise while ON their
wheels is being favorably received by
wheelers of this city. 1t will be the aim
Of the corps to give such immediate re-
lief in time of need as the nature of the
injury will permit and to assist the in
jured to place of safety. The idea is
to equip the corps with all the materi-
ais required by field hospital, and.
Judging from the accidents reported
here daily, the bicycle life savers would
have plenty to do. New York Cor.

WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.

Senator Hill says women should ride
wheel and wear bloomers if they wish
to do so.
Women's wheels have been reduced
in weight from so to "a pounds within
few seasons.
This is the season of the year when
the owner Of new tandem invites the
girl who does not know how to ride to
accompany him on trial trip. He
never repeats the invitation.
Denver glories in many record break
ing wheelmen, and also in one record
breaking wheelwoman, Mrs. Rinehart,
a society beauty, who recently rode a
double century in 2o15 hours.
Although women drop frame wheels
are of necessity somewhat less rigid and
strong than mems wheels, repairers
agree in saying that fewer women s
wheels are brought in for repairs than
those of men riders.
Miss Maud Riggs, fair cyclist of IS
summers, rescued young Jason Watrous
from drowning in pond near Oak
dale, N. Y, recently. She rode to the
bank on her wheel, jumped into the
water and saved the boys life.
Marie Corelli has invented bicycle
skirt which shows that lady has more
imagination than practical experience.
1t is designed after the fashion Of a rid
ing habit, with shaped spaces for the
knee, an utterly useless expenditure of
time and energy, say all cyclists.

SLANG OF THE CYCLE.
"High Wheel" Cleared Too High" and
"You're Coasting Now"

you're COasting Now"
The bicycle has brought in its wake
track of slang. The trail of the wheel
is over the English language of today.
Now the proper way to speak of a
man whose habits of life are expensive
is not to refer to him as "rounder, a
'bon vivant" OF Zone of the boys.
He is simply "geared too high" or
"geared up to CO."
The man who is little behind the
times was formerly FOSSIL" person
who had dropped into a 1uN an "old
fogy." Those who make the boulevard
cloud of wheels by day and pillar
of scorching fire by night refer to such
a one as a high wheel" By that they
mean that he is behind the times, for
the bicycle with the big high wheel and
the little wheel which trundled slowly
behind in a frantic effort to keep up
with the procession is considered as a
vehicle of the past.

A New Tandem scheme.

One great objection to the tandem is
that it is almost imperative that two
persons ride it. With only one rider the
machine is unwieldy, and if the distance
travelled be far the work is tiresome.
There is new invention, however, con-
tanning all the essential parts of tan
dem, which can be carried in a single
machine until such time as the rider
may have occasion to convert his ma
chine into tandem, fully equipped for
two riders. This tandem addition can
also be attached to an ordinary machine
without pedal attachment when one
seat is required. New York Press.

ST.. PAUL, May 6.The question Of a
possible conflict between the G, A. h.
encampment and the state fair, which
are scheduled for the same week in
September, has come up again. The
managers of the encampment are again
urging that the two events shall not be
held the same week. They are consid-
ering three propositions. One is a
change in the date OF the fair, another
is changing the date Of the encamp-
ment and the third is abandoning the
fair altogether. The fair managers OBJ
ject to changing their date and holding
no fair they will not hear of. A con-
ference will be held this week between
committees of the two bodies in an
effort to arr We at some understanding.
It was thought that the matter was
settled some time ago, but the reports
of the hotel men, and the pressure of
other business interests have caused
the board of managers of the encamp-
ment to decide to reopen the matter.
This is one Of the most delicate things
that the encampment managers have
have had to deal with, and they are
moving in the matter with the greatest
caution and considering it from all
