ACCIDENT POLICIES.
Whee1men Should Have Them In.
Clude All Bicycle Risks.

Bcyclists holding accident insurance
should examine their policies in order
to see whether they are protected by
it's terms. A recent case in England is
very significant. Probably the same
rule of law should be followed in the
United States.
A bicyclist in London held in acci-
dent policy which provided for pay
ment in case of damage or death while
riding on passenger train, passenger
steamer, omnibus, tram car, dog cart,
coach, carriage or other passenger ve-
hicle." While on his wheel an accident
occurred in which he was killed
1t was held on the application of his
heirs for the payment of the policy
that while riding on his wheel he was
not within the terms of the insurance
The Judge in deciding the case said that
no claim could be made, no more than
i If he had been ION skates at the time
of the accident which caused his death.
In this country generally the law has
held that bicycles are vehicles" in the
intent of law. But to avoid trouble
! Wheelmen and wheelWomen holding ac-
cident insurance should have their pol
| icies so amended as to specify the bicy-
Gle risk-Chicago Chronicle.

A GOVERNMENT ROAD TO YO-
SEMITE.

A contemporary discussing the pro-
ject to sell the worn out toll roads lead
ing to Yosemite to the Government of
the United States offers the suggestion
that instead of buying these old roads
the Government of the United States
use the money it would ex-
pend in their purchase for the
construction of first-class wagon road
through the forest reservation to Yo-
semitic Valley. There is an element Of
sound and economic administration in
this suggestion. The Government
should have something to show for the
money it expends. While it is obvious
that the purchase of these excavated
grades will accomplish nothing in the
way of securing a permanent highway
to Yosemite, the money they would cost
would build and macadamize road
according to the most approved meth
DDS of road construction. Beside this
the Government should construct a
road which would make Yosemite ac-
ceSSlple Dy the SIoI iiA~ u '
both by stage and rail from the CEN
ters of population; that is. from Sacra-
mento, Stockton and San Francisco.
These are the distributing points from
which tourists visit the valley, and the
Government owes to those who desire
to visit this public park the best faci-
ities at the minimum of cost.
AS to the purchase of the imperfecty
constructed roads upon which heavy
tolls have been collected for years, there
is perhaps no one in the State of Cali
fornia, outside of those Immediately in
terested in the purchase money, who
would favor that proposition The
Big Oak Flat road is the most direct
and available, and for the most part
was the best constructed. But the
CoultervIlle road is freest from heavy
grades and is the most practicable. The
State purchased this road from the
Coulterville Company some years age
by the payment of $4,000 to indem-
Nifty its builders for the loss incurred
in it's construction; or, if this state
ment be not accurately true, the State
should have taken the road, because
$4,000 was more than 1t was worth
At all events, the State has indemnified
the owners of the road for any loss

AMERICAN VOICES.
Fresno Republican: The voices of
American young women are said by
Marchesi to be most beautiful. But they
do not last. The whole time is given to
the study of music and little to the
building up of the physical resources
on which, in singing, they are laying
heavy demands. Spraying the throat
with different decoetions. living in over
heated rooms in winter, drinking guam
nf in 1l
candy, pastry and rich, starchy foods
ell tend to injure the singing voice, Mar
chest is probably right in his opinion
that the sort of life described will de-
strong the voice. 1t will not only do
that, but viii make about as weak and
useless specimens of humanity out of
those who live it as can be found on
the face of the earth.

Cure for Sleeplessness.

A Swedish servant maid, finding that
her mistress was troubled with sleep
lessness, told her of a practice of the
people of her country who are similarly
afflicted. 1t was to take napkin. dil
it into iee-cold water wiring it slightly
and lay it across her eyes. The plan was
followed, and it worked like a charm.
The first night the lady slept four hours
without waking-something she had
not done for several months. AT the
end of that time the napkin had become
dry. By wetting it again she at once
went to sleep and it required consider
able force to rouse her in the morning.

they may have incurred by reason of
just why the State should have indem-
nihed a private enterprise of this kind
is past finding out. The appropriation
of $4,000 TO private individuals, SIM
ply because an enterprise in which they
We're engaged failed. is most mon
strous proposition, and one which could
find welcome only at the hands of a
very low order of legislative inteni-
gence and very enfeebled sense OF
public justice But the $4,000 was
paid and the owners of the road prae-
tieally have nothing. The road was
built by license from the counties
through which it passes and from the
Yosemite Commissioners contempor-
aneous with its construction. 1t was
granted no exclusive privilege of any
kind. It's route is now open to any
one who would desire to construct AN
adequate highway for public use
through the great forest reservation
surrounding Yosemite.
The suggestion, therefore. that the
Government of the United States, in
stead of buying these roads, should use
the money proposed TO be expended in
their purchase in the construction of
good road to Yosemite Is one that will

WHAT THE WORLD WANTS.
Hemet News: A genius in Roches-
ter. n. Y. has discovered. or thinks
he has. the cause of the hard times.
He says it is bicycles. There are 5a,-
600 bicycles in that city of $50, 600 in
habitants This wiseacre estimates
their cost at 81, 100000 and that the
owners do not earn any more wages
because they possess the wheels. and
therefore concludes that the bulk OF
the owners economize in the matter OF
food. boots and shoes. clothing, shaves
drinks. street car rides, liveries. and
so on That genius thinks that the
! wheel. which has afforded so much
pleasure and brought rosy cheeks to
heretofore pale faces in such large
numbers is destined to keep on main
tanning hard times. That genius viii
bring up in a madhouse if he does not
throw over that peculiar phase of the
| bicycle question. His friends should
present him With bicycle and set him
to riding it, That will be the sUrest
way to divert him from suicide or ar
insane asylum. What the world wants
