WHEELS AND WHEELING.

The bill requiring Canadian railroads
to carry bicycles free, as personal bag
gage, has failed to become law, but
will be introduced again next session.
Paderewski, the famous pianist, and
Joseph jefferson, the great actor, are
the latest converts to the wheel. The
latter rides woman's wheel, which is
easy to mount and dismount, and is
much safer in case of an accident.
1t is suggested with reason that chain
makers should get together and estab-
fish a standard gauge. Sometimes it
is matter of considerable trouble for
rider to replace damaged chain, be-
cause the style has changed since he
bought his wheel.
The latest invention in the tire line
is punctureless composition, consist
ing of rubber and cotton so arranged
as to be impervious to tacks, glass and
other tire destroyers. 1t is claimed,
too, that the tire loses none Of it's re-
siliency. At recent test wheel was
ridden over glass and tacks without
injury to the tire. The tire is the in
vention of Boston man.
The expense of pacing an hour race
is said to be not less than $3.50, and this
is the reason there are not more such
contests. The creation of pace-making
teams, for pace-making purposes, that
will remain organized constantly, is a
possibility of the future. Such teams
will consist of twoscore or more men,
and will make regular contracts to pace
races, as is done now in England and
| France.

One of the most skillful experts in
the service of the Treasury Depart
ment, General Appraiser Tichenor,
has just made computation OF the
relative amount of protection given
the sugar refners under the Wilson
and Dingley acts, and he finds the
average differential on the various
qualities to be over third less under
the present law than it was under the
act of 1894, which was superseded
last Saturday. Tichenor goes over
the entire schedule by degrees, and
makes great many figures. Trans
lated into plain, everyday language
those figures mean this; Not only did
the House gain a great victory in the
sugar fight in the conference commit
tee, but the conference schedule
which was accepted by both branches
was less favorable to the refiners
than any ever enacted before. The
trust, that is to say, has less protec
ton under the pingley law than i
ever had under any previous enact
ment.

THAT RANGE FIRE.

Watch and see thai clinker Is not al
lowed to form on the Innings.
In giving the fire a thorough raking
remove all clinkers with the poker.
At night the firebox should be even
full of coal after raking out all the dead
ashes and cinders and putting on the
nights supply.
The ashes should never accumulate in
the ashpan until they reach the CRATE.
If this happens often the CRATE will soon
be burned out.
Never use the shaker when it posi-
BILE. to avoid it; instead use the poker
freely, and you will have brighter fire
and use less coal.
Remember that shaking banks the
fire down into solid mass, and as the
air cannot circulate through it the draft
will be poor.
When the fire from any cause be-
comes dull do not stir it over the top OF
put in wood, but rake out the ashes and
put on the drafts.
Keep the stove well polished; If the
lids become greasy turn them over anc
let the top of the lid come next to the
fire until all the grease is burned Off
then polish as usual.-Leisure Hours.

CHASED BY NEWSBOYS.
Wealthy Chicago Lumberman Has
Narrow Escape.
Tries to Drive Through a Band That
Was Playing in the Street-Arrest.
ed for Cutting Lad with
Whip.

Advanced age did not save William
Ripley, a prominent Chicago lumber
dealer, from arrest the other night on
charge of disorderly conduct after
he had destroyed the harmony OF
newsboys' band and inflicted severe
wounds on Otto Reichard, the leader.
In his expensive char-a-banc, drawn
by span of stylish bays, Mr.. Ripley
and Josiah L. Hathaway, the coal deal
er, along with Mrs. Ripley, were pur-
sued for half block, and only saved
from chastisement at the hands of an
infatuated crowd by the interference
of police from the central station.
Mr. Ripley is one of the best known
lumbermen in the country, and lives at
1888 Washington boulevard. He was
driving in Washington street, intend
ing to go to Lincoln park. Between
Fifth avenue and La Sale street brass
band composed of newsboys was dis
playing it's new uniforms and discourse
ing popular airs. They were direct
ly in the teams path, and Mr.. Ripley
made no effort to turn to the opposite
side of the street. A warning cry from
the sidewalk saved the boys with the
bass horns from being trampled on.
The horses trotted through half the
band when Leader Reichard, who had
ceased to swing his baton for the cho-
rus of "There'll Come Time," sprang
for the reins and stopped the team.
Quickly the long whip descended and

Rowing up Stream,


Events of late have been full of dis
couragment for the advocate of free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to l. Con-
ditions seem, indeed, to have entered
into conspiracy similar to that which
made possible "the great crime of
1888" The argument of the silver.
ties based on the assumption of search
ty of gold did yeoman service in the
last campaign, but the discoveries in
the Klondyke fields, promising a con-
siderable addition to the worlds stock
of its standard monetary metal, seems
likely to relegate that argument to the
class Of spent ammunition. Much was
made also by the silverites of the rela-
ton between silver and wheat prices,
but unfortunately for them, while the
price of wheat has gone up over twenty
cents bushel since last year, the price
of silver has gone down about ten cents
an ounce, and in a week, in which we
are able to record evidences of dis.
tinct revival of business, as indicated
in the early arrival of the long promis-
ed advancing movement for the fall,
silver has touched the lowest point re-
corded in the American market =

POINTED DARTS.

It flatters man to be told that he
looks i'll.
A man may be dressed in very fine
clothes and yet have holes in his socks.
Even a man doesn't like to have the
preacher call when the house is all
topsy-turvy.
Almost every man regrets that ne
neglected the opportunity of some in
yestment which would have made him
rich.
A man never settles down to read
without his wife at once deciding that
there is something in that corner that
she wants.
About the time we all get our minds
made up that deadbeat is all out al

going on a long pleasure trip.

wrong, something turns up to convince
him that he has more good luck thar
he deserves.-Washington Ia.) Demo

The end of uncertainty regarding
duties on imports gives greater co1-
fdence alike to those who have oppos-
ed and those who have favored the
change. The great strength in
STOCKS, particularly in those of the
Granger list, reflects assurance of
heavy crops. The remarkable rise
in wheat, Notwithstanding that assur-
ance, is based on heavy buying for
export and belief that foreign de.
mands will be large, To these must
be added another element of conf
dence scarcely observed week ago.
The heavy increase. in receipts of gold,
whether from one side of the Alaska
border or the other, swells deposits
at the minis and ia the banks of this
country, and if the yield from new
regions answers current expectations.
