BIOYOLISTS' MARROW ESCAPE.
Two Yonng Ladies' Run Into a Carr
flagc B mt Sus4ai No Injury.

An accident, which might have resulted
seriously, il not fatally, TO two young
lady bicyclists, was happily averted by
the GOODNESS and presence of mind of
Peter ]. ByTnes, a well-known resident of
Porter street.
Byrnes was driving in a buggy l~eisnrely
along The Boulevard at 8 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. when near the corner of
Beacon avenue he turned the horse to
the west with the intention of turning
around. Two young blcycliSts, who. it
was afterward learned were Miss Essie
Braun and Miss Emma Whitley, both of
St. PaufS avenue, were riding rapidly
along directly behind the buggy. They

they noticed the horse turning. and with
cries Of fright Miss Whitley ran into the
fore wheel of the buggy, while Miss
Braun's wheel struck the foreleg of the
horse.
Both were thrown TO the ground, Miss
Braun directly in front of the frightened
horse. which began rearing and prancing
in his efforts to get away. Byrnes took in
The situation at a glance, and with re-
markable presence of mind he held on

from the PROSTATE form of the fair BIZ
cyclist. Miss Whitley, who had sustained
shaking VI and a few scratches, ran to
the assistance of her companion, while
Byrnes jumped from the buggy and catch

A game that will be watched with inter
est will be played between the two strong
est athletic club football teams, the Or
ange A. c.. and the Chicago A. A., on
the Orange Oval, on Saturday, Nov. 10.
The Chicago team this year is without a
doubt the best aggregation hat ever rep
resented the Windy City, and they have
been playing a very strong game all sea-
son. A line-up may be drawn on them
from the fo~llewing:-On Oct. 9 Yale de-
feated the Newton A. A. by the score of
10 to O; on Oct. 10 Harvard beat the New
tons, 40, and on Oct. 20 the Chicago
A. A. easily defeated the Newtons. who
had h same team that played against
Yale and Harvard, by the score of $50.

Chicago team is a great deal stronger

A BIG BUILDING.

Very few KNOW it, but it is a fact -
explained a prominent builder to a
Washington Star reporter, chat the
pension office building is the largest
brick building in the world. It has
been subjected to much criticism. but
it can stand it, for as time passes
along there are many things seen
about it that escaped notice when it
was newer. In all, there are over
100000 bricks in the building. Gen.
Me1gs took liberties with bricks that
no other architect had ever attempted.
He not only used bricks exclusively
for the builling, but he used them in
constructing the stairs throughout the
building. In the matter of stair build
ing bricks have often been used for the
riser, but the step has always been
Of iron, wood, slate or stone. In the
pension office both riser and step are
of brick. AS brick building, there
fore, pure and simple, it is unique in
construction, outside of the fact that it
is the largest exclusively brick build
ng in the world"

TIPPING.
How Paris Walters Manage to Live
Without Receiving a Salary.

An English resident has investi-
gated the extent of the tipping habit
liz Paris restaurants and has brought
to light some interesting figures. The
investigator examined conditions In
one of the largest restaurants in the
city and found that from tips the
walters average $50 month each. The
custom there is to put the tips in a
box which is opened every fortnight
by the head waiter ard the contents
distributed.
The breakage amounts to $500 a
month, of which the walters pay half
and the proprietor half. Of course, the
walters get no salary, it being well
understood that they are paid by their
"pourboire' or tip. In some cases
the proprietor pays old hands from IS
to $40 a NORTH. Head walters get
from $40 to 500 a month.
The walters also get commission
on all the wines and cigars they can
sell outside. Inside the house the
cellarers only get commissions on the
wines sold to guests. The Partisan
walters do not favor the abolition OF
the tipping system. Under it they
sometimes make $50 a month and
soon save enough to set up in business
for themselves, which is the great OBJ
ject in life of every Frenchman.
Tips in Paris are higher than in
New York and are given by the in
it1ated with good grace, as it is well
understood that they are the only
source of income of the walters. Some
time ago the walters in Paris res
taurant struck because the proprietor
wished a percentage of the tips. Such
occurrences are, however, infrequent
The generous man finds ample oppor-
tunity in Paris; he may tip the
cellarer, who brings his wine; the
head waiter, who ushers him to his
seat, and the waiter who puts on the
dishes.

FOR STAMP COLLECTORS.

Afghanistan stamps are Cancelled
by having a piece torn out of each
stamp. incidentally a piece of enve-
lope or letter is torn out at the same
time. From a collectors point of view
this is a barbarous proceeding; and
we hope that the new idea of cancell-
ing stamps by branding them with a
red-hot platinum wire will not be
adopted. Yet this has been suggested
in some of the German papers. If it
is ever adopted we shall have to col
lect unused stamps only. A German
philatelist Classics collectors as fol-
lows: l. Beginners. 2. Average col
lectors. 8. Serious collectors (whose
albums represent a value Of $40 ,000).
4. Important collectors collections
worth S25,000). 5. Prominent collect
ors $3.50, 000). 6. Great collectors who
have spent over 100000 on their col
lections). The report that the govern
ment purposed to change the color of
the &C. stamp from red to green, as a
measure of economy, brought out a
flood of protests. Any intention to
use green instead of red could be car
ried out for few months only, as all
the governments represented at the
Postal Congress will aim to bring uni
fc1mity in color in stamps of different
countries of practically the same de-
nomination. Red is the color adopted
for stamps of &c 90 centmes, etc.)-

Milwaukee, Oct. 16.-Judge Seaman
rendered a decision in the suit Of E.
A. Shores against John Garfield to
recover profits growing out of their
celebrated Wisconsin lumber venture
in the United States court Friday.
The result is a complete victory for
Shores. Garfield entered into an
agreement with Shores whereby the
latter was to hunt up lands and Sc
cure them while Garfield was to fur
nish the money and attend to the
rest of the work. Shores was paid a
certain salary and alleged that he
was to have one-fourth of the profits
amounting to S125,000.
