A new and important departure
is announced in the Sunday even
ing services at the Baptist church
during the summer. The services
will be shortened to about forty
five minutes, and a printed pro-
gramme will be put into the hands

tain responsive readings, hymns,
ETC., thus making the worship
more general and less formal.
This arrangement ought to be
very popular and to increase con-
siderably the number of Sunday
evening worsbipers. The SER

recognizethe significance of that
anniversary.

THE BICYCLE.

Russia recently ordered from a
French firm 1000 folding bicycles, for
the use of her military cyclists in the
field.
a young cyclist in Philadelphia
rides a wheel geared to 1888, and he does
not seem to exert himself very much in
pedallng.
A gas lamp for bicycles has been de-
cised, but, like the electric lamp, 1t is
big and clumsy, and very likely to get
Dut of order, in addition to being costly.
Inventors must try again.
People who take their bicycles on n
European tour find their greatest
trouble with repairers. These men
abroad seem to be unable to under
stand the peculiarities Of the Anglican
wheel, and they are apt to injure one
part while repairing another.

therefore anti-Quay and anti-boss sem
ators to the oore. will take their places.
II but IL anti Quay senators are elected
the senate viii be hopeiessly gone. and
the Legislature on Joint ballot will be
overwhelmingly anti-Quay.
Senator Quay has figured this all out.
and 1t is because Of the danger impend-
ing that he has sought to make peace
at any terms-to throw down" all of
his former friends. to trade on the
governorship. or do anything that will
permit him 20 retain his hold on the
legislature. There Is no doubt that II
Senator Quay got deep enough into
difficulty he would attempt to get help
from the Democrats, but such move
ment would involve so much scandal
that he would hesitate quite a while
before attempting anything 80 daring.
BIG INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.
Your correspondent has II on the best
authority that a movement is on foot
to unite all OF the various reform and
Independent movements in the state
under one head, and thus concentrate
all anti-Quay forces in one gigantic
movement. 1t is proposed to take a
man of wide experience in statesman
ship and of unassailable character as
a candidate for governor. Such a man
as Henry w. Palmer. for example, ex-
attorney general of this state.
This movement hopes to draw into 1t
either one of the Republican factions,
both of which are now hostile to Quay,
and thus strengthen its power. Ample
funds will be forthcoming to carry on
the work. The projectors of this scheme
will not endorse candidate of either
party. but will put third candidate
in the field in the hope OF electing any
body but the choice of the bosses and
machine men.
1t will be remembered that two weeks
ago it was stated in these letters that
a new movement was on foot among
Senator Quay's own friends 10 get rid
of him. This movement is now seen
In the declarations OF Senators Durham
and Andrews. II you doubt the asser-
ton regarding the new independent
movement. just possess your soul In
patience for a few weeks and watch 1t
materialize as / have predicted!
