Investing
In a Poor Wheel

A ~ - WE
rs like furnishing the money for an un-
l. certain business venture; you soon
have the experience, but your money is
gone. The foregoing is written for the
benefit of those who have never owned a
bicycle but are thinking of investing
those who have tried it knew it was so
before we spoke. We know there is an
opinion abroad in the land that some
manufacturers Of bicycles turn out as good
wheels for $50 to $50 as others charge 800
for, and that many people buy the cheap
wheels thinking they are saving money,
but they soon find out to their sorrow that
they have been taken in," and that a
large part Of what they have saved is con-
sumed in express charges to and from the
factory in having repairs made and in
repair bill Is and in not being able to use
the wheel more than half the time. No
brother, or sister, you can't buy 500
wheel for less than 500 even though your
own father may tell you you can do so.
$50 And 800
Is the price of 1896 MONARCHS, and
they. are the finest, lightest running and
best machines OH the market. The MON
ARCH leads-is king of bicycles and
stands without a successful rival. A
second hand MONARCH is worth more
than bran new medium grade wheel.

Not q day goes by but some pathetic in

for VIM. ]. Farrity, educated and cour-
teous gentleman that he seems to be, oc-
casionally looks upon the cup when it is
red. He was arrested on 7th street last
night, under the influence Of liquor. He
was locked up on the charge Of vagrancy.
In court this morning Farrity admitted
that he sometimes drinks to excess, but In
sisted that he was no vagrant, for he has
ployed in the Office of one of the leading
claim agents in the city.
IT'S a shame" said the judge, that a
man Of your years should be an habitual
drunkard.'

could Keep my position

Workhouse. would much rather give you
a chance to change your manner of life.
Step back into the dock and 1 will send for
your employer. If he will say good word
Tor you will give you another chance"
Later in the morning Farrity's employer
came to court to look out for his clerk. He
told the court that Farrity is a brilliant
man. and would make success If he would
only leave liquor alone. He frequently
earns as much as 500 a month, and also
acts as clerk to a member of Congress-
Farrity promised to do the best he could to
stop. and his employer agreed to go on his
bond.

A special dispatch to The Star from Balti-
more says that President Hoffman of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, in an
interview regarding the controversy be-
tween his road and the Southern, stated that
he had not yet outlined his plan of cam
paign in the event of the outbreak of an
other rate war, which is looked for very
shortly, but that the question of harmony
rested entirely with the Southern Railway
Company.
This was in line with the expressions of
Vice President St. John on the same sub
Ject to q Star reporter who interviewed
MIN In Norfolk and whose interview was
published in Mondays Star.
The impression in the best Informed cir
cles Is that within the next day or two
President Hoffman will demand of General
Manager Foster of the Baltimore. Chesa-
peake and Richmond otherwise the South
ern) Steamboat Company the withdrawal
OF the steamer line of the latter between
Baltimore and Norfolk. 1t is known the
demand will be refused. Then active hos
Utilities will break out afresh and the extent
to which they will spread no one can fore
see.

Arrested Mt the Fire.

The big fire at Smiths planning mill last
night made good deal Of extra work for
the police. for in a crowd such as gathered
about that scene there Is always more or
less disorder. Several arrests were made,
and three Of the unfortunates were in the
Police Court this morning.
The first case heard was that Of a white
man named Geo. F. Collins, who sports the
badge Of a special policeman, and Is en-
ployed by the District Mutual Telephone
Company. He was in the crowd, but in
sisted on breaking through the line to get
a closer view of the fire. The police say
that he presumed altogether too much on
the authority given by his badge, and was
under the influence of liquor. When order
ed back he made a nuisance of himself and
made use of considerable improper Ian
guage. He was fined IS.
Charles Wilson also protested when or
dered back into the crowd, and two police
men testified that they heard him using
profanity. The some fine was imposed
Joseph Roy. colored, was arrested for
about the same offense. Just before he was
arrested the policeman saw big open
knife in his hand, and Roy was fined So
