Laughter.

How much lies in laughter, the cipher
key wherewith we decipher the whole man |
Some men wear an everlasting barren siu-
per. In the smile OF Others lies the cold
glitter, as of ice. The fewest are able to
laugh what can be called laughing, but
only sniff and litter and sniggle from the
throat outward, or at least produce some
whiting, husky exclamation, as If they
were laughing through wool. OF none
such comes good. The man who cannot
laugh is only fit for treasons stTtagems
and spoils, but his own whole life is al
ready treason and stratagem. Carlyle.

THE CLEVELAND.
The following extract
from 1.-The Cycling
West " of Dec. 10th,
1896, explains itself:

"The popularity Of the Cleveland bicycle
is ever on the increase and every day
sees some crack racing man dispose of
his old mount in order to become mount
ed upon the speedy Cleveland. More
races have been won upon Clevelands in
recent meets than upon all the other
makes put together Among the Cleve-
land riders who have ridden their
popular mount to victory are the follow
ing: Champion Terrill, Chas. Wells,
Harry Terrill, Whitman, Mott, Crafts,
Vincent, Russ, Williamson, the Noonan
Brothers, and many more too numerous

operator Harkins that there was fire at

Immediately sent II call to the Washington
Friendship and Delaware Companies.
Soon afterward officer Barr saw the ro.
Election and sounded an alarm from Box
.. BY that time the Friendship Company
had reached the bridge. When the COM
panies reached the fire they had nothing to
do but turn their attention to the reigh-
boring properties. The buildings at 2o0l
and 2SOlH were franc and burned like
They were totally destroyed. While the
fire was raging ut its tlerce3t 1t was stated
that William H. Hayman and James Jor-
dan were in the building. Hayman and
Jordan have been keeping bachelors hall
at No. 2S0l. Both houses were owned by
Hayman.
Investigation by reporter revealed the
fact that Hayman Is visiti ng his brother
at Townsend, and that Jordan is very
much Il live corpse to-day. He had Geen to
the house until about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He fixed the stove for the
night and went to friends house to stay
and therefore was not aware of the fire
until after the houses were in ashes.

refuge Sunday on board two steamers
which were at this port, and the French
steamer Vile de Marseille has been
reauisitioned by the French minister in
order to serve as place OF refuge for
French citizens. The Vile de Marseille
has arrived here direct from Porto
Rico.
The population of this place Is in a
state of great excitement but the Hay
tian government has strong forces Of
troops at its disposal, and is resolved
to maintain order.
The exact nature of Germany's de-
mands OH Hayti Is as yet somewhat in
doubt, but 1t Is understood that the
German government asks: An in
demnity Of $4,000 (Americam for Herr
Lueders. The promise that Herr Lue-
ders may return to Hayti and there So
journ without danger Of any kind. A
letter to the German government in
which Hayti will express apology for
the proceedings toward the German
government in the whole transaction.
That the president Of Hayti shall
graciously receive the German charge
d'affaires at Port au Prince.
1t is this fourth demand to which
the most serious exception has been
taken by the Haytian government, as
affecting Haytis honor and involving
deep humiliation. for 1t was Count
Schwerin, the German charge d affaires
at Port au Prince, who went before
President Simon Sam and rudely sub
mittai the demand for Indemnity and
apology.

the First Twenty-four Hours.
New York, Dec 7.-Forty men started
in the big bicycle race at 1915 yester-
day morning. but at 9:15 o'clock last
night only 26 men were riding, Fiji
teen riders had dropped out of the race,
owing to Illness. accident or inability
to keep up the pace. At 9:15 o'clock
five of the riders had passed the 400
mile mark. Waller leading by 425 miles
and 7 laps. Miller was second, nine
miles behind the lead. Stephane had
. Travelled All miles and 2 laps. Hale.
who had left the track several times
on account of his lame knee and a
headache had made $50 miles, and
there were 13 other men who had
passed the 200 mile mark.
The feature of the race UP to the
present time is the form exhibited by
Waller. This mans riding was superb,
and called for the continual admira-
ton of the spectators. Waller had set
himself a task before starting in the
contest, and he cared not whether his
speed upset the plans and calculations
Of other competitors. The task was to
cover 500 miles in the first "a hours,
and the plucky rider failed only by
narrow margin. AS he rode he bowled
down records as well as increased his
lead over opponents. At the Esd hour
he was 81 miles and 7 laps ahead of
Hale's record Waller's riding Is of q
character that makes many doubt his
ability to stick it out. He was off the
track only 43 minutes in "a hours.
Hales record for 90 hours was passed
by Waller. Miller. Stephane, G. Ri
verre, Schinneer, Pierce, Moore and

ALBERT JENNINGS.

for whom there are standing rewards
aggregating $4,000. On Tuesday last
Marshal Benefits men encountered the
gang at house in the western part
of the Cherokee nation. The deputies
then succeeded in arresting John
O'Malley, but the others made their
escape at that time and had evidently
satisfied themselves that the officers
had been eluded, as they were not pre-
pared to resist when surprised.
The Jennings boys and their follow
ers are charged with several crimes,
but were particularly wanted for the
hold UP of Rock Island passenger
train in broad daylight several months
ago near Chickasaw, 1. T. They are
also accused of having stolen 400 head
of CATTLE from the Chiskasaw nation.
AL Jennings has been leader in Okla
homa politics. He was at one time
and Is lawyer of considerable ability,
and both AL and Frank are graduates
of the University of Virginia. Another
brother was killed by Temple Hous-
ton, of Texas. during saloon row
about two years ago. Al Jennings was
shot in the arm during the same af-
fray. The brothers come Of highly
respected family. Their father is pro-
bate judge of Woodward county, o. T..
Harvey Martin, who is believed to be
a member of the Jennings train rob-
bing gang, was captured in the Creek
country, o. T., yesterday.

German marines and sailors, with two
machine guns, on Friday last Dec. 81
entered the city of Kiao-Chau, IS miles
from the bay, and took possession Of
the city walls and gates. They were
not mo!esteG, the Chinese troops re-
treating as the Germans advanced.
The Berlin correspondent Of The
