The president is still in favor of the
principle of civil service reform, and
he assures the people that so far as
the present law is concerned, he will at
tempt its enforcement in the spirit in
which it was enacted" That explana-

string attachment. THE spirit in which
it was enacted" Fine phrase, so full

acted was. They anxiously await

JOHN CABOT.

In view uf the approaching ~celebra'
lion of the 400-h anniversary of the
discovery of the North American con
tinent, some recent Investigations ani
pronouncemen;s by the president o.
the British Royal Geographical Society
are of especial interest. ''As every
schoolboy knows" the discovery in
question is credited to the Cabots and
especially to Sebast ian, the son, Sebas
tian indeed claimed the credit for him
self and gave to the world the first mar
of the newly found land; and so, down
to. the present time, John Cabot has
figured in history chiefly as the father
of Sebastian. There is now eminent
authority for considering such judg-
ment unjust and for regarding John
Cabot as the real discover of North
America, and of the two the better en-
titled to fame. g
Sir Clements Markham has for some
time been engaged in research and
study of the careers of the Cobots, and
now formally announces the result
above recorded. Into all the details of
his argument we need not enter. The
outline of the corrected narrative will
serve. Like Columbus ne tells US, Juhn
Cabot was q GenOese, who between
1851 and 1476 become citizen of Ven
ice. He travelled much and became an
expert navigator and cartogra pher.
lie was in Spain when Columbus made
his first voyage to America, and was
much interested In that enterprise.
Soon afterward he settled in England
with his wife and three sons, of whom
Sebastian was the second, and on
March s, 1897, he was commissioned
by The King, Henry VII, to fit ont
ships under the British flag and pro-
coed to the discovery, the exploration
and conquest of new lands beyond the
sea.
Thus authorized, he sailed from
Bristol in a small ship called the Mat
thew, with crew of eighteen men.
That was on May 8, 1897. The exact
date and place of his first landing in
North America are unknown. The
Canadians, who are going to celebrate
the ami versarv with much elaboration
have been unable to decide between the
conflicting claims of various places and
have discreetly dec ided to dodge the
issue by pntting their memorial of
Cabot in the Legislative Hall at Hall
fax, which place makes and can make
no claim to the disputed honor. Sir
Clements Markham, with convincing
shrewdness of argument, names Bona
vista Bay, Newfoundland, as the
spot. That, however, is q matter Of
minor Importance. What isimportant
is that the right man should be hon.
ored, and that man, We may now well
reckon, was John Cabot, the father,
and not Sebastian, the son, who was
mere lieutenant of his father, and af.
terward the historian and photographer
of his fathers enterprise, which he
strove TO make to seem his own.

Dos and Don'ts For Wheel Women.
Good taste and judgment In the Sc
lection OF bicycle clothes are rarB, al.
though there is no sound reason why
they should be. With little thought
it is hardly possible to select garments
Of the wrong material and cut. A
woman looks well on the wheel provid4
ed she is careful to dress in quiet colors
that fit her. Quiet cloths are essential,
and the leggings should come some
where near matching the cloth. The
hat should be plain Alpine or Derby,
or golf without ornamentation, so that
there is nothing conspicuous about IT..
With these things and fair control of
the bicycle any woman win look well
while enjoying this most inIyigorating
exercise.
Choose a color that will nbt show the
dust-some shade Of brow ID yellow or
gray. The shoes should be tan, for
black shoes, after three minutes on
country road, must look as scuffed and
disreputable as any shoes can look, no
what may be their quality. Paris
kid will look as bad as the cheapest
calfskin after that first prelimary spin
into the country Women on bicycles,
of course, never wear jewelry. A watch
can be set into the handle bar of the
machine, and, therefore, the watch in
pocket, if it is there, need never be
brought forth. Pins should be worn
inside the jacket, SO that they will not
get dusty. You cannot help wearing
your club pin, perhaps, but remember
that it is not good form to shown it on
the road.
Don't wear a skirt that shows more
than eight inches Of your boot.
Don't allow your escort to ride inside,
nearest the sidewalk. That is your
place.
Don't Keep on ringing your DELL when
you see that the driver of horse is
turning out to make room for you.
The jangle of the bell may frighten the
horse, and is sure to annoy the driver.
Don't stand in the middle of the road
TO fix your lantern or.pump your tie,
SO that every other rider will have to
make wide detour to pass you.
Don't borrow a pump Of a man you
do not know and forget to return it.
Don't hesitate to accept assistance
from a man in case you are in trouble
with your wheel. Thatisan occasion
when a women may take well-meant
help from a stranger of the opposite
sex.
