CLERGYMES AND "coAsr1NG"

/ The bicycle is evidently d est ined to
keep on rising in the scale of distinction.
Not only that Society has placed the
seal of its appreciation upon the wheel
and that Fashion looks upon it with a
favoring eye, but the gentlemen of the
cloth have taken great liking to it, for
they find riding it not only healthful,
cxhilarating diversion, but the wheel cx-
tremely useful in making pastoral calls
and attending TO other necessary bust
ness. ItaffordsDot merely a neasy and COM
Portable means of locoinotion, but saves
time and is far better than a horse and
buggy, for there is no danger Of its running
away.
With the clergy OF France, for instance.
the wheel has become quite a favorite and
in England, too. it has found large
number Of reverend deyotees. But recently
greater distinction than ever has fallen
to its lot, for no less person than the
Bishop of Colchester has mounted the
silent steed and is pedaiing through
country lanes and along highways with
the most sprightly OF his curates.
Temporal mutantur. When wheels first
came into vogue this very same good
bishop would have held up his hands in
holy horror IL any one had even suggested TO
him to get astride a bike" and take a
spin along some quiet and secluded lane.
But in this year OF grace he has seen that
the dignity OF no one suffers BY the wheel;
that gracious women are no less graceful
on the wheel than in the drawing room,
and he has also discovered that the ser
mons OF his curates are no whit less con-
vincing because the young ministers go
awhee1.
Nothing more natural, therefore, than
that the good bishop hasttrown prudishness
to the winds, learned to ride, aud is now
bestriding his bicycle with the best of
them. 1t is not probable that he will enter
for any races, either dashes or other, but
the day may not be far distant when he will
embrace the opportunity and, making sure
that he is unobserved, go "coasting" down
Some convenient hill and enjoy the fun OF it
as much as any one.

sUGG EsTIoNs FOR CHICAGO.

| A chicago newspaper, commenting upon
| the number OF victims OF the deadly over
head trolieyin that city, calls for 1.-The enact
ment or an ordinance compelling the street
railway companies to equip all cars with
lenders. The demand is emiIently proper,
and unless the ferkes syndicate is stronger
than the city fathers he press of the Windy
/, City will by persistent ciamor succeed, no
| doubt, in stirring them to action. When
the desired ordinance, however, has been
| passed and the question arises as to the
selection of a fender. the Chicago newspa-
pers Should insist upon mechanism that
VIII save instead of imperiiling life and
hinb. They may point to the fender in use
on nearly all the street railways in Wash
ington as the kind that should not be ada ut
ed, forit is just trific worse than no fender
at ALL
The Washington fender is a Continuance
which. when ii strikes an obstruction, in
nine cases out OF ten, rises up, goes over
the obstacle and passed it ON to the
wheelguard, which is no guard at all,
and then the wheels do the rest II the
coroner does not get a job, the doctor
does
Our Chicago friends may rest assured
that this is no fancy sketch; indeed it is
only too true a story. Only yester-
day, 1t was sheer luck, and not tue fender,
that saved the life of n bicyclist
The fender, as usual, failed to fend, but

a. Fur Tue Information OF Chica coans who
are interested in this subject it may be
stated that there are Tenders really de-
serving of the name: mechanism SO well
constructed and adjusted that they will
pick up an object TO larger in diameter
than half-inch iron rod, and IL would be
physical impossihility for a human Being
TO come to serious harm. Tenders of this
kind, OF course. are somewhat more eNpen-
siye than the rope contrivances now mas

perchance the Chicago city council is less
concerned about the bank accounts of the
street railway companies there than Con-
greSs and the administrative Local powers
seem TO be with reference to the companies
operating in thi, city. The Chicago news

Bootblack, Stranger and Yellow
Pup Ma Ike This story


Harry Watkins and John Hailstark are
colored bootbacks. They have an outfit
on Ninth street, near its intersection with
the Avenue. They also had a dog yesterday.
and hereby hangs the tale. The pup was
galnboliDg up and down the walk in front
of the drug store yesterday afternoon when
it was Doticed by portly man seated
on an upturncd box. The man suddenly be-
came possessed OF Il secret longing TO own
that uDsuspecting little beast
Come, doggie. here; nice docgie,, said
the gentleman in the mildest of tones.
The pup gave one leap OF Joy and anded
square on the mans knee. Then the man
tucked the animal under his arm and started
down the street.
The two bootbiacks missed their brute
companion and he was spied by Watkins
in possession OF the unknown man. Rush.
Ing up TO him, the manipulation OF the shoe
brush demanded its return
The man thought to get rid of the colored
boy, so he boarded Ninth strcet car. A
smile of triumph lit up his features as he
saw a downcast look come over the youths
countenance.
Here, bud. here's half dollar. Get
on the car and follow your Inan until you
get your dog
1t was a gentleman who had witnessedthe
whole incident who had proffered the
money and the advice. Watkins boarded
beside his man. At Four-and-a-half street

telling how the chase might have termi-
mated for. as the man, boy aud dog were
starting off again, the boy saw two of his
chums across The street. He yelled to Them

They came Oh the dead run. One grabbed
the man by the collar, another by one arm,
and Watkins by the other. The man was
thoroughly frightened and gave up his
prey.
When watkins reached his place of BUSH

cent piece was there awaiting the result
Of the pursuit.
Rushing up to him, in an overflow OF
gratitude and generosity, the triumphant
