CYCLING NOTES.

Walter Sanger, the speedy wheelman
was married TO Miss katzenherz of Mil
waukee recently.
The Connecticut state division of the L..
A. ". will have its annual state meet on
July at Bridgeport.
Lolita NJ. Crabtree, the actress, has
joined the League of American Wheelmen.
She is a very graceful rider.
Pennsylvania has accepted Harvard s
invitation for quad bicycle race to take
place at Cambridge in the spring.
An English firm is executing an order
for $50 bicycles, which will be used by a
company of Salvation Army soldiers.
During the winter, when the bicycle is
not in use, it should be left in a moder-
ately warm room; otherwise the tires will
crack. It is advisable to keep the tires
inflated.
The bicycle show at the Madison Square
Garden, in New York, is credited with
having been the most successful and
largely attended exhibition of it's kind ever
held since the era of wheeling began.
Two foreign cycling papers were repre-
sented at the recent bicycle show in New
York. The representatives were II. I.
Marse of Velo Sport, Paris, and G. P.

The other is evidently of the same mind,
for no takes from beneath his coat large

reckoning to his pal, they steal softly up
the back stairs to break the millionaire

As it takes some time to creep up a mill
Honaire's back stairs we will leave the viii
lains creeping and see what is happening
in the rich mans spacious sleeping apart

the robbers at their game. Could you see

finished their creeping business, had adj

NEW BARNEGAT LIGHT.

900 Candle Power.

NEW YORK, Feb, 5.-The strongest
light on any sea coast of the world will
soon be in working order on the Jersey
shore. 1t will have no rival for power
anywhere here or in Europe.
This great electric light will have
100000 candle power, and its warning
rays will be sent forth from the top of
Barnegat lighthouse.
The present light at Barnegat is 165
feet above the level of the sea, and it can
be seen under ordinary circumstances 10
nautical miles. The new light will not
only be seen many miles further out, but
it will penetrate haze and fogs. which
often make the present Iig hit invisible.

For most of people marriage, think, is
failure. For proof look to the slums of

opagation is fast, and what misery, des-
titution, brutality and despair will you
not see. Mon Dieu, it is horriblel Even
in high life it is seldom that you find two
people of opposite sexes with ''hearts that
beat as one.'' Nine times out of ten they
have different tastes different tempera-

honeymoon is overl, and then ensue mu-

mutual heartburnings.

best cure for them all. And then again, as
Taidy Marks says, "the accessories are so

SAGE THOUGHT A TRAMP,
A Fellow Broker Gives Him a Quar-

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-RusselI Sage,
whose apparel, at its best, is not caIcu-
lated to give anyone an adequate idea of
its owners millions, was today taken for
an object of charity and had a silver
quarter thrust generously at him.
Uncle Russell is suffering from boil
near his shoulder which has caused him
to carry his arm in sling. While stand
ing on the corner of Broadway, near Full
ton, waiting for an opportunity to cross
the street in safety, he noticed a wealthy
broker who had just passed, with whom
ne wished to discuss matter of business.
The multi millionaire hurried after his
friend, touching him on the arm, and
said:
Il beg your pardon, sir"
$50 way, my man." replied the broker,

quarter" and he thrust a coin into the
horny palm of the outstre;chcd hand, aud
the broker looked into the face of his
friend.
"Great Scott!'' he exclaimed. "Why,

Mrs. W. E. D. Stokes of New York
probably owns the most notable collection
Of trotters and PAGERS of any woman in the
world, and she is now am bitious to possess
the fastest trotter or PAGER on the globe.
This desire may possibly be gratifed with
gut further additions to her stable.
On the occasion of Mrs. Stokes TWEEN
tieth birthday, in October last, her hus-
band made her present of the splendid
4-year-old FLY Beuzetta, and unless the
majority of the critics of harness racing are
wrong the fair young horsewoman now

daughter of Onward and Beulah the COM

A. Fifteen Year Old Valencia Boy
Starts Out in Search of adventures.
John Ewing is fifteen year old boy
who lives at Valencia. The atmosphere
of that quiet village did not suit him
and he decided TO leave it. Going down
to the river he found boat moored on a
sand bar. The oars were in the boat and
it was inviting for boy who was in
search of adventure.
He pushed the boat off and got in with
a supply of food and a little packet of
clothing He headed the boat down
stream because it was less difficult to
row in that direction. In a, little time
Edward Chilson who owned the boat
missed it. He guessed which way the
purloiner had gone and came to Topeka
and notified the officers.
Early this morning Officer Aye found
the boy drifting down the stream In the
boat and captured him when he rowed
10 the bank near he Rock Island bridge.
The boy admitted that he had stolen the

the American stage by developing actors
who are able to satisfactorily portray al
most any line of characters. Such one is
Miss May Silvie, who has just left Angus
tin Days company after period Of 16
years of continuous service, during which
time she has probably appeared in rs plays
ranging from farce and extravaganza to
Shakespeare's classical comedies.
Miss Silvie is a native of Norfolk, Eng
land, and came to this country Oh a visit
to relatives in the care of the lord bishop
of Huron and Ontario. Through the ipf1u-
ence of Arthur Tams she obtained an en-
gagement with Clara Louise Kellogg. Aft
er brief season with the famous singer
Miss Silvie was offered the role of the
Queen in Rico's Evangeline' She ac-
cepted, and her success there having at
tracted the attention of the manager of
sprightly Alice Oates she was secured for
that company, with which she remained
one season. Then came an offer from the
august Augustin, which Miss Silvie snap
ped up Immediately. She has been with
him over since. and only left recently be-
cause she felt that for manifest reasons adj
vancement in that organization is neces-
sarily slow. During her long term with
DAILY Miss Silvie has been the understudy
for Catherine Lewis, May Fielding and
later, when she had made hit in old
women's roles, for Fanny Morant and
Mrs. Gilbert.
Miss Silvie since her retirement from
Days company has had numbers of offers
which were satisfactory in q pecuniary
way, but which did not meet with her ap-
probation in an artistic sense. Her plans
for the future have not yet been fully ma
tured, but it is possible that she may take
out company of her own. Miss Silvie is
one Of the most conscientious actresses on
the American stage, and is without a su-
perior in the delineation of genteel old
woman characters.
