WILLIAM

The above letter from William
Lehnhart shows my authority for
trying to sell the Mccormick Right
Hand cut, open end Binder, and as it
is hard to sell them without first adj
vertising, l take that method of let
ting the people know that l have one
for sale. The above notice is sufi-
cient proof Of the quality of this ma
chine and the class of work it will do
when compared with the NEW
CHAMPION. This binder has not
got the PUSH FEED nor the CON-
CENTRIC WHEEL, but it has the
usual NECK WEIGHT, SLUGGISH
DRAFT, RIGHT HAND CUT, the
elevator is open, convenient for long
grain to hang cut behind, allowing
the heads to dangle on the elevator
chain. This feature is not objection
able where grain, is not fully ripened.
In case your grain is ripe and the
chain skaters it out, q canvass might
be hung ON rea of the machine to
catch the grain that otherwise would
be wasted. This also operates as a
weight behind and relieves the
horses necks. You also save some in
threshing account. The first to
apply will get a deal if desired.

The Native Indian Troops.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 The Siklns are carrying off the hon'ors in the hazardous campaign on the Af- ghan frontier and it is significant thai the Brush officers and the British gov erTmert are giving them due credt Their exploits certainly are of kind to call out the compliments of superior officers, but beyond this there is a policy in mak- ng much of the bravery of the. nalJwe trocps. These splendid fighters have al- ways been Loyal TO the Bli ish. If o.her native regiments see that the fighting qualities of the Skins are appreciated and rewarded the effect on the whole na- .ive corltingen- of the army will ba good. By this policy Great Britain is not only cu9tlvating a fine spiIit among the na- tive troops of India, but is consolidating wa1like psople as a bulwark against a possible disloyalty and rebellous sp.r.t of other tribes or clazsas or clans.

EVIL DOERS lNI
 THE POLICE COURT

About the most prominent incident in connection with police court proceedings yesterday mourning was the voice of a policeman calling Tustily to the throng of spectators to be seated. Despite his enbreaties many were stubborn and would remain standing ''IIizzoner" ad- monished them to sit down and still they stood. The vigilance of the officer and 'hizzoner'' relaxed along towards the last, and witnesses, lawyers and thosa being tried all stood and hovered about the judges stand.
 The able and just Judge Feagin was just little late, but seemed in a splen- did alumor and ready ito deal out justice from the jump. Seventeen mourners oc- cupied the cage and from the physicg- onomy of some tllere must have been a "hot time in the old town" the night be- fore.
 Fannie Williams and John Simmons were called on a charge of perjury, but dismissed because mo warrant had been issued It is understood that they will again be arrested.
 Nat Leath, a heavyweight negro, who had imbibed too freely of fire water" she night previous plead guilty to the charge of diserderly conduct and was touched up for a $5 note.
 Willie Minnie and Milandi are negroes. .Milanii is Minnie's mother and Willie fought Milandi's daughter, and Milandi B daughter gave the propelhng force to a rock which landed broadsided against Wilie's head. It was all about soap, and about washing, although neither of the parties appeared to have suffered such thing lately. Willie and Minnie were very much deficient and "hizzoner" vie ly assessed a penalty of $5 each.
 Annie Palmer, negro woman of the Southside was up for larceny of $5. She was in a restaurant with negro man and he pulled $5 bill from his shoe, and in some way the woman got her hands on it. The next development was that Annie was trying to get $5 bill changed. She was given $15 and thirty days.
 Ed Cox, an employe of the Birming- ham Railway and Electric company and an engineer on the Bessemer dummy line, were charged with burning coal in- stead of coke within tfe city limits.

tha suburbs it is a good plan, and the teachers owe it to themselves to take this exercise.
 '"rhe public has a wrong idea when it thinks the teachers have an easy time and short hours Most of our teachers are ambitious students, and take uni versity work and lecture courses outside of school hours. They prepare their les sons diligently, with a view to getting the best results in the few short hours allowed them. This takes several hours day. Women so engaged should con- slider their health and take lots of exer- else. Bicycle riding is excellent exer- else. In order to enjoy bicycle riding women must wear suitable costumes. I see no reason why teachers should be prohibited from wearing such cos tumes."
 Superintendent Maxwell, of the Brook lyn schools was warm in his approval of any costumes that would permit bi- cycling and not exceed the bounds of decency. q have ridden 9,769 miles on my bicycle,'' said he, and hope all the Brooklyn school teachers will ride as far"
 I asked him if he would make any rule as to the costumes to ba. worn during school hours. "No," he said, excepting the boomers. don't like them. Brook lyn women look very unprepossessing in them a couple of years ago, but no one ventured to wear them in school. How ever, guess bloomers have gone out of style, and guess the women are glad. 1T will tell you," he said, growing more confidential, "the ladies have a very clever way in managing their cos fumes and I can't understand it. When they get off their wheels they are in full tlhedgsd bicycle costumes. Five minutes later they appear in their classes look ing exactly the same, only they are not in bicycle costumes. Do you know how lfthey do it? It is an art, am sure."

 Yesterdays matinee was, with the ex- ception of the record breaking Thanks giving matinee of "The Old Homestead" !" the largest ever seen at O'Brien's. The parquet and dress circle was packed and damned with ladies and children, with a fair sprinkling of men, and the per- formance was a. great success. The music was fine, the singing excellent and the specialties of the best. The same may be said of the night per formance. The s.

The Kansas City, Tennessee, Coal, Iron and Rail- road company, the Central of Georgia burn coal in that locality. I was put under bond and when brought before Judge Feagin, of the police court yes terday, he fined ms $5 and would not permit me to make a statement to the court"
 There was one ghastly and pitiful in- divfdual in the cage. It was John Tom erlin and his head was tied up in R wealth of whits rags and cotton. John Hudgins was his assailant. Both are inmates of the city prison, and the lat ten is an offender of the aggravated or der, having belen tried and sentenced thre+ times during the past week for a'e- fusing to work. A descendant of the Isle of Erin, and a brother prisoner was the cause of the trouble. Fred Jay was an old man, and many of the prisoners made great sport in tormenting him.
 Fred was put on the witness stand and his story was the best of all.
 "What was the cause of the trouble?" asked "hizzoner"
 John Tomerlin had respect for ould age, may it please yer honor"
 This boy" pointing to John Hudgins had no respect for ould az. and John Tomerlin did. That was just the cause of the fracas"

TEACHERS IN BLoOMERS.
Case of Bad Taste in Dressing Creates Great
 Stir in St. Louis.
New York Herald.


 New York Herald.
 Tn St. Louis. Mo. there Is an asso- ciation called the Gralnt and Gavois School association which takes upon Itself the adjustment of all public school difficulties of that city without undue publicity. lAt It's latest meeting it had a fit of violent indignation because f. was discovered that one of the women teach CTS rode a bicycle to school in boomers. The matter hsl5 not been settled yet, either With or without undue publicity, and the main question: Interesting schJol teachers in St. Louis is whether they must give up their bicycles and bicycle tdsE.umes or not.
 Tn order to find out how New York Cily viewed this important question, I called upon Superintendent Jasper of
 the city schools. 1.-The school teachers cf New York" said he, may wear bi- cycle costrImss wi'tflout fear of moleEta tlfon. I have such perfect confidence in their good taste That I shall n1,t fear meeting separations in bloonlers or othar sensational attire. No rule has ever been made sn New York City schools uPsn the subject Only once in my ex-
 perience has g. principal objected to NeaIcheIls usl.rg their own discretion in the matter of dress. That was up in Harlem last spring, when 6. teacher who had taught for ten years appeared be- fore her classes in @ very short skirt She was old enough to have known bet ter. Al first the school boys Uttered and made remarks; then their parents took
 the matter up and the firslt thing I knew the newspapers were discussing it. I called the lady down-from HarTsm, I mear-and gently remonEt Iated with her Since then the offenss has never been
 repeated
 "The younger teachers are especially discreet, and, though they ride their wheels to school, are quite ingenious about their costumes. In all the schools are ladies' rooms, where they immediate ly don long skirts before entering upon their duties. Therefore s=e no ground
 for finding fault with them or making any rules upon the subject. St. Louis young women must be behind the times
 If they can't manage their bicycling without comment. I think the good
 ssnse of New York school teachers can be relied upon at all times to dress properly and not attract attention
 Charles Bulkley Hubbell, president of the board of education, said T hearti-
 ly indorse the custom of women teachsrs riding their wheels to school I would
 make an exception among the schools
 far down town, where nasty wheel rid
 ing is at all times dangerous on account of the cars and traffic. But certainly in
