wheel except one of the two which upbore
his chariot, but there is living, breathing
testimony at hand that the president of Po-
lice Court is an expert from the price of
bike-in installments-to the riding of
the cleaning steed of steel.
II. NJ. Hafford, bicycle-teacher, who
had been arrested, charged with stealing
wheel. was examined yesterday before
Judge Campbell. He had rented the ma
chine from T. H. B. Varney last month
and pawned it at the North End Loan
Office, on Washington street, near Mont
gomery. Hafford had been unable to raise
the SIT so and interest due on his pledge
and detective from the cyclery bore the
bike away to the City Hall. incidentally,
Hafford was borne to the same locality
and was lodged in prison cell next to the
property-room, where reposed the wheel
upon which he had speeded to his own
undoing.
The prisoner came into court without an
attorney and Judge Campbell, out of sym
pathy for the luckless biker, charltably
undertook, without interfering with his
functions as the Judge in the case, to help
the young fellow.
The accused had never seen Judge Camp
bell minus the ermine and plus the
bloomer, and consequently could not know

as on the bench. He took issue on several
points with his judicial counsel.
"My client won't agree with me-" said
the Judge sadly. "Call the bicycle as the
first witness!"
The machine was tumbled into the court
room by an officer, who scraped the skin off
his own shin at every revolution of the
right pedal, and leaned it up against the
witness-stand, where it stood under the
admiring gaze of the Judge.
The question of its value was argued pro
and con without any agreement until his
Honor stepped down from the bench and
made an examination. He lifted the BIZ

Johanna Ambrosius, the German
peasant woman whose poems have
been the talk Of literary Berlin for
some time past, promises to be some
thing more than a momentary sensa-
ton. She was discovered by the Ger
man Emperor, who was so delighted
with the martial ring of her poetry
that ho set some OF her poems to
music and sung them, to the great de-
light of Frau Ambrosius. Johanna is
described as a creature of child-like
simplicity, but the following account
Of her appearance by the Berlin cor.
respondent Of a London weekly would
suggest that she understood the po-
etical "make-up" pretty thoroughly:
johanna Ambrosius was led to the
platform by Herman Sundermann, and
all eyes were Ei7eted on her. She was
dressed in somber black. Her thin,
bony face wns pale and haggard, but
two great dark eyes relieved its plain
ness, and when she commenced to re-
cite her wonderfully touching poems
her audience was entranced."

Recently several destructive fires
have played sad havoc with the Ameri-
can forests. Immense tracts have
been destroyed on Long leland, in
Northwestern Connecticut, among the
Adirondacks, in the neighborhood OF
Portsmouth, N. H., in New Jersey,
near Concord, Mass, and in various
other parts of Now England, besides
numerous destructive fires in the
Western States. In Massachusetts,
one of these frighttul devastations
swept away the groves made sacred by
the pen Of Emerson, and in the midst
of which he imbibed the greater por-
tion Of his quaint philosophy. Henry
d. Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne
were also tenants OF these familiar
woods. In addition to the loss of
forest trees there has likewise been
the incidental loss of property and
farm crops Rarely do fires Of this
kind break out without destroying
barns and farm houses, and frequently
human life itself is sacrificed. The
Brooklyn Eagle, in explaining the
cause of these fires, fastens the re-
sponsibility upon hunters who camp
out in the woods and farmers who
have failed to take proper care in
burning up the rubbish which has col
lected during the winter months.
There is, in the opinion Of the Atlanta
Constitution, need Of vigorous legisla-
tion justhere in order to prevent re-
currence Of these frightful visitations.
Instead Of allowing the forests to be
swept away in this manner there is
every reason why these vast areas
should be preserved. The forest is q
great protection to the land, and often
prevents the cyclone from executing
its mission OF disaster and death. The
severity Of these disturbances is miti-
gated and sometimes altogether pre-
vented by the obstacles which the for
est iDterposes in its path. For these
and other reasons our forest area
should be preserved.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
BradstFeet,s Review Of Business for
the Past Week.

Bradstreet's Review OF Business for
the Past Week.
BradstFeet's, in their review Of trade
for the past week, says:
General trade in both commercial
and industrial branches is duller, but
the falling Off is, in part, the usual
midsummer dizziness. Comparatively
few changes are noted, but most Of
them are decreases in either price OF
demand. Quotations for wheat, In
dian corn, cotton, oats, iron and steel
are lower. Sugar has reacted after the
decline last week leather remains
conspiciously firm, with shoe factories
busily employed, and petroleum and
anthracite coal are higher. The SEN
timent of the trade at many points is
that the immediate outlook for bust
ness is not favorable. st. Louis job
bers report some Texas merchants
countermanding orders, owing to the
effects of the drought. There is a
fair demand for grain, groceries and
staple dry goods at Minneapolis and
Duluth, and in fabrics and groceries at
ST. Paul and Omaha, while Louisville
reports a better demand for hardware,
with collections improved. Similar
advices come from Baltimore, Savan-
nah and Charleston. These constitute
the most favorable reports concerning
the state of trade. At Chicago the
volume of business for six months is
smaller than last year. At New York,
Philadelphia, Buffalo and Pittsburg
there are no characteristics except
those of extreme dizziness.
The general industrial situation
shows no renewal of activity. The ap-
parent i'm arovement in wool has disap-
peared. Manufacturers. refuse to buy
raw material because it is cheap. Ex-
eessive dizziness marks. dry goods, al
though this is the period for stock TAX
ing. Cotton mill treasurevs controll-
ing four million spindles have agreed
to curtail production. A large amount
of wooden machinery remains idle and
the iron and steel industries are as fiat
as heretofore.
Business failures in the United
States for six months rs reported to
Bradstreet's number 7, 600, the largest
six months total since records have
been compiled. The increase com
pared with 1895 and 1894 is more than
! 1000 in each instance.

German Editors Anxious for the Re
publicans to Win.
Advices from Berlin state that the
liberal and single standard newspapers
express themselves as satisfied with
McKinley's sound money declaration
embodied in the platform adopted by
the republican national convention in
st. Louis. The Vossische Zeitung,
despite its fears that theme may be
further high protection legislation in
the United States, halls the nomina-
ton of Mckinley as welcome deliver
ance from many worse things which
could have happened. The Tagebiatt
prints homily upon American poll
tics, in which it declares that the
American corrupt plutocrocy and the
system of professional politics are
bringing the United States to ruin,
concluding by saying: cit will be well
