merely one of clothing. The discarding of
tall hat and frock coat-those indispen-
sable adjuncts to commercial lffe-for the
more appropriate and comfortable cycling
outfit, does indeed alter the appearance of
man: but more particularly do We note
change inwardly-in fact, almost a dis
tinct personality.
THE graver demeanor has given place
to a joyous spirit of freedom. The circum-

G OOD ROADS NOTES

According to Gen. Stone of the Agricul-
tural Department every wheelman Is a
preacher, a worker and a fighter for good
ros ds. 1t Is only necessary to furnish him
texts for preaching, tools to work with
and weapons to- fight with. and then to
hold him back when his zeal outruns his
discretion. His endeavor should be to con-
ciliate the farmers while he keeps the
cities ripe for reform. He does not want
to lose friends or to make enemies. He
might succeed in passing good roads laws
in spite of the farmers, but he would have
to depend upon the farmers at last for the
execution of those laws.

The Hamilton road bill has passed one

bids fair to become a law, despite the tao

bicycle manufacturers were interested in
the bill because better roads would in

wheelmen do not pay single dollar for
the Improvement and maintenance Of the
public roads.

Ing and firing. The one great objection to
the use Of the bicycle in the army has been
Its inability to stand alone. The new in
vention enables the soldier to halt without
dtsmounting. and to execute the most in
tricate movements, which heretofore were
impossible. u
Gen. Miles and other army bicycle enthu-
siasts have given much thought to the use
to stand alone has been the chief argu-

corps got fairly under way on good road
no difficulty was experienced. A halt,

The new support overcomes this obstacle,
and the silent steed Is now under greater

speed ono should learn to back-pedal and

WAS A RICH WOMAN
Suicide In Hartford Reservoir
Has Been Identified.
SHE LIVED ALONE IN GREAT STATE.
Rumor Had Been Busy With the Unfor-
Inmates Name, and the Story of
Previous Attempt at Suicide
Is Now Being Circulated.

HARTFORD, Nov. 1.-THE body Of a
woman found floating in the Garden
street reservoir has been identified as
that of Miss Alice 1. Patton, 40 years
old. good looking, with considerable
money at her command, and a resident
Of Capitol avenue, a street of wealth.
Her clothing had evidently been
changed, for it was new and unmarked.
Her purse was in the pocket of the
skirt. 1t contained a small amount Of
money, some street car tickets and q
few little articles. none of which served
as a means of identification. Near a
wei on the reservoir reservation was
found bag.
1t contained the womans gloves,
bought in New Haven and some silver
money. The Identification was made by
one of the house servants.
The cause of the woman's taking her
life, and there is no indication that she
met death by other than her own
hands, is unknown. She was identified
BY buckle which she wore bearing the
initials "a. Pr
Miss Patton lived alone in state, sur
rounded by servants who knew nothing
of her intended movements the day be-
fole. She said last Friday that she was
going to New York and wanted the
house closed. This was done, and the
won an ordered a cab and drove away.
Instead of taking the train, she went
to the Capitol hotel and, engaging a
room, went directly to it and remained
there until Saturday, when she took the
afternoon train for New York.
Gossip has been busy with the wo-
mars name ever since her suicide be-
came known. Some say that she was
found in her bedroom week ago half
asphyxiated. Nothing was thought of
it then, the self evident fact that if the
woman had wanted to commit suicide
she would not have left all the doors
open being sufficient to kill the theory
that she wanted to do away with her
self. Now the theory has been revived,
with trimmings to suit the occasion.
There are also strange stories told of
fierce looking dark men seen lurking
around the grounds of the Capitol ave-
nue. house, thing that was never heard
of during the woman's life.
The only reasonable theory is that the
woman's mind was deranged and that
she threw herself into the reservoir
while in that state.

Another Death Credited to the Popular
Fall Sport.

PITTSBURG. Nov 16.-Francis Blair
years old, son of Lemuel Blair, fore
man Of the Pennsylvania railroad at
Penn station, Westmoreland county, is
dead. Saturday a week ago young Blair
and some companions found football
and started to play a make believe
game. They had seen football played
by their elders and were trying to go
through the different plays.
Young Blair seized the ball and
while running with it, was tackled and
brought down. Then five or six older
boys jumped on him. He was seriously
bruised and internally hurt and on
Thursday last was given up by the
doctors. This is the third death from
football in this section this season.
