WHEELING ABROAD.
Advice for Cyclers Who Contemplate
European Trip.


In a recent number of the L. A. W.
Bulletin there is some interesting in
formation about cycling abroad, and
some valuable pointers for those who
contemplate such trip. First of all
riders are cautioned against relying on
hiring wheels on the other side. The
wheels are cumbersome and worthless
affairs, and large deposits are required
for their safe return.
The steamships will not carry wheels
unless they are Grated or otherwise in
cased, and the best plan is to put one
or two wheels in a trunk, well covered
with vaseline and wrapped so as to pro-
tect them from the salt air and spray.
In crates the charge is $3.50, in trunks
they will go as baggage. Do not depend
upon forwarding company to handle
your cycle unless you want to wait a
month for it. One correspondent says:
Under British law every passenger
is entitled to carry 20 cubic feet GOO
pounds) of baggage" Another adds:
If you intend to ride on the CONT
nent, join the Touring Club de France
before leaving America. League mem
bers will be certified by the Il. c. f. rep
resentative in this couatry, who is Col.
+. S. Hesseltine, 10 fremont street, Bos-
ton. The club ticket will pass you
through the custom houses of France,
Switzerland and Italy. 1t is said that
at Paris one can get a special card of
admission into Belgium from the club
headquarters. 1t is easy to pay duties
at every frontier, but difficult getting
the money back when leaving a coun-
try. There is no duty on bicycles at
British ports. The cost of entrance into
the Touring Club de France is S1.50, or
nearly so. Appoint leader for your
party; then let him ship all the bicycles
N his name. Let him pass them through
the custom houses. Make him GUS
todian of the custom house papers and
the T. c. +. tickets. Remember, that if
any of these be lost, trouble will ensue
at the first frontier the party attempts
TO cross. Let him make sure that his
full name and address is on the card at
tached to each bicycle offered for trans
port by rail or steamer. Unless other
wise absolutely compelled, take your
bicycles on the train or steamer by
which you travel. Do not lose sight of
them. Ship them as baggage along
with your trunks"

From the Wilkesbarre Newsdoaler.
An interesting case involving the
rights of tenants and landlords was
heard by Alderman Douohue Monday
John Lancashire is tenant living in II
house of Louis Smulyan, this city. On
January . last Lancashire moved into
the house and by the provisions of the
lease he was to pay $6 Il month He
paid his rent February / and March
|, after which there was no rent due
until April ?. On March 26, however,
the landlord sent Constable Evans with
4 distrained warrant to collect the
amount of rent for the month of March.
The constable compelled Lancashire to
pay the money, together with the costs,
amounting in all to 81.
Lancashire consulted his attorney,
John 7. Lenahan, and the result was
that he brought suit against Smulyan
for 800 damages. At the hea ring the
landlord stated, by way of defense, that
he was ignorant of the law and was
lfraid that If his tenant moved April
he could not collect his rent. Squire
Donohue told Mr.. Smullyan he had
made a mistake; that landlord in
Pennsylvania has such extraordinary
powers with tenants that they must be
very careful how they proceed to collect
rent. If they make a mistake, said the
squire, as in this case, they must pay
for it. He therefore entered judgment
in plaintiffs favor for the amount claim
