ing, and all will attend the Sunday
schools and regular church services. In
the afternoon, in one tent, will be held
an evangelistic meeting. and in the other
two and in many churches will be de-
nominational missionary rallies, in
charge of the Chairmen of the denomi-
national rallies. This is a new feature,
and one that romises to prove a great
success. In Central Hall on Sunday
afternoon a meeting devoted wholly To
the question of the American Sunday
will be arranged. The tents will be
closed in the evening. and the regular
church services will be attended
Monday morning will be given over to
the Worlds Union of Christian En-
deavor for its first annual convention,
the afternoon to excursions. and in the
evening the convention will close with
the sermons and usual conservation
services in each of the three tents, Cen
trail Hall and five or six large churches.
More than ever bicycle excursions viii
be the feature of the sightseeing side OF
the convention. The smooth streets OF
the city lend themselves to the use of
the wheel, and though the outlying
roads are not comparable with Boston's
for out-of-t town rides, the limits of the
city and most suburbs like Arlington
promise to be thoroughly explored by
thousands of wheelmen and wheel
women. One thing about cycling will
specially interest riders at this conven-
ton, and that is the effort that 1t is said
will be made to secure the adoption of
resolution denouncing Sunday cycling
as un-ChriStian. 1t has been frequently
charged that the wheel has done more
to break down the sacred character OF
the Sabbath than any other single
agency, and this convention will prob
ably be asked to set its face against II.
That this effort will meet with opposE-
ton is almost certain, since many claim
that cycling is not distinctively a sport,
but means of locomotion.'
Early morning bicycle runs haYe been
arranged by the Excursion Committee 10
Brightwood and the Soldiers Home, and
afternoon runs are contemplated over
the Woodley Loughborough and Con-
duit roads. A bicycle trip to Arlington
and Fort Myer has been planned for
Saturday afternoon, and a special cav
airy drill will be given at Fort Myer on
this occasion. The bicycle dealers have
promised to keep on hand during the
convention season a special supply OF
bicycles for visitors from a distance.
and they have also promised not TO
overcharge for the rental of these to

Fourth, because a large showing will
add to the pleasure and satisfaction of

willing to contribute to public celebra-
tions for the citizens. Lastly, because,
as in the first case, It is patriotic, right
and honorable to add to the feature of

What might have proved very seri-
Gus accident happened at Tenth and K
streets about 10 o'clock last night,
when Charles NJ. Campbell, while riding
his bicycle, collided with the horse
h:tched to the Pacific Markets delivery

AS 1t was Mr.. Campbell was quite Sc

by the wagon, but bystanders state that
such was not the case.
Dr. Parkinson was inclined to the
theory that it was the old story of each

GOLD ERA IN SOUTH AFRICA.
The Telegraph Has Advanced More
Speedily Than the Railway.

In measuring the advance of a new
country we naturally look in the first
place to the development of it's public
works, says the Nineteenth Century"
The establishment of the gold industry
on the Randi has proved a most eff
fective stimulus to railway construction
in South Africa. To-day johannesburg
built on land which in 1856 was part
of an absolutely barren wastes an
preached by three distinct lines which
connect it directly with the four chief
ports of South Africa-Delagoa Bay,
Durham, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town
OF these lines, the earliest, which ira
verses the Free State from end to end
and links the Randi with the Cape Col
ony, was not opened until July, 1892
The Pretoria Delagoa Bay line was
completed in the autumn of 1894, and
the extension of Randi Railway to
Charlestown, the connecting point with
the Natal line, was only effected a few
months ago. These, together with some
subsidiary lines, represent a total of
LOCO miles of railway constructed
mainly under the stimulus of the gold
industry in the Transvaal. To this to-
tai two considerable pieces of railway
construction, accomplished in the inter-
est of the gold industry in the Char
tered ComDanys territories must be
added. OF these, the first extended the
main trunk line of Africa from Kimber-
ley successfully to Vryburg and Mafe-
king, 1890 and 1894, and the second, the
Beira line, by securing rapid passage
through the "fly country brought Sal
isbury into easy communication with
the east coast of Africa at the port so
named Taken together, they meas
ure $40 miles. 1t should be added also
that the extension of the trunk line
from Mafeking toward Buluwayo is in
porcess of construction.
To have driven 1850 miles of railway
ment for country in which the Euro
pean population is considerably under
three-uuarters Of a million. and which
has not hitherto been characterized by
the rapidity of it's progress.
The telegraph has advanced further
and more speedily than the railway.
Here the chief gain has been in the vast
regions northward of the Limpopo
opened UP by the Chartered Company.
The wires were carried from Mafeking
to Victoria in December, 1891; they
reached Salisbury, S19 miles beyond
Mafeking, in February, 1892, and to-
day telegraphic communication has
been established between Salisbury and
Blantyre, in Nyasaland.
