Changes In bicycle Costumes.

An old cyclist observes that the style
of garments for wheelmen has changed
considerably in recent years. Five
years ago" says he, when great many
ordinary wheels were in use, the riders
were content to pin their trousers at
the bottom and let it go at that. But
gradually the wheelmen nave become
fastidious. The pobby golf suits were
apparently invented for bicycle riding,
and then the flowing boomers that
could not bag at the knee were intro
duced. To-day every rider takes pride
in his appearance. No matter how
poor he may be, he insists upon saving
enough money to buy a golf suit and
sweater, and usually gets around to
bicycle shoes and golfings. Thus fitted
out he is off to the bouevards, where
fair damsels admire a wheeman who is
properly dressed"

GUNPoWDER MOTOR.
The Latest Bicycle Invention L. Unique,
to Say the Least.

The Latest Bicycle Invention Ii Unique
to Say the Least.
A most remarkable motor has been
invented by F. NJ. Freeble, of Latrobe
Pa. 1t is eight inches long, weighs
So pounds, and, when charged with or
binary gunpowder, will carry bicycle
and rider 100 miles. 1t is believed
that its use will be adopted in the near
future. 1t is said that the steepest
hill can be taken with perfect ease, and
there is no rattle or jar. 1t does away
with the sprocllet chain and pedal.
An exploding chamber is in the for
ward end of small cylinder three
inches long and one inch in diameter.
From the rear of the cylinder projects
the driving rod. Above is the powder
magazine, four inches in diameter and
two inches deep. The driving rod con-
meets with a crank to the eccentric,
which in turn is fastened to the axle
of the rear wheel of the machine. The
forcing outward of the rod causes the
crank TO revolve, this in turn commu-
nicates action to the eccentric and
wheels giving motion to the machine.
The motor is of one-horse power. A
chute leads into the exploding chamber
from the front of the magazine. When
one of the three valves in the feed
chute is open, the other two are closed.
These are governed by bar and cog
wheels. The second valve acts as a gov
ernor TO the other two shutting off or
increasing supply, according to speed
required. The third or lower valve
is heavier than the others, as it has to
withstand the force of conclusion caused
by exploding powder.
The exploding chamber is the heav-
lest part of the motor. At each explo-
sion, which takes place as the powder
comes through the feeder from the
a gaseous smoke isgenerated,
which operates the piston head of the
driving rod. There is a valve at the
top of the exploding chamber, which
allows an excess of gas to escape, and
thus avoids any possibility of danger
of explosion of the gases. When a rider
wishes to start, the rod is forced down,
the valves in the chute open, cap ex-
plodes and the machine moves. A re-
verse operation causes it to stop.
The motor is fastened to the frame
of the machine by clamp, and nothing
but the breaking of this frame can dis
place it from it's position.-Chicago In
ter Ocean.

ROUGH-ROAD WHEEL.

Said to Run Smoothly Over the Most
Uneven Surface.
An English firm will soon put on the
market a wheel that differs essentially
from any ever built before. The pic
ture shows the design. 1t has four
wheels, three being small and one about
the size of those of the common safety.
The wheels are placed in line, and
nothing is gained in the way of balance.
The inventor asserts that his machine
will run as smooth over rough ground
as the common wheel does over asphalt.
The multiplicity of wheels is expected

Editor Daily Light:
A hint to the wise is sufficient.
Please allow me a space in your val
uabIe paper. The time has come when
the colored citizens of San Antonio are
called upon to make preparations TO
celebrate the 31st anniversary OF the
Emancipation proclamation which set
at liberty 100000 of slaves, for when
it brought forth gay and glad tldlhgs
all over this broad land.
Now il has been the custom each
year to call a mass meeting, and APP
point a committee of arrangement 10
carry out the program. The pubic
is generally invited but fail to come.
But as soon as a president is elected
by the first meeting some one VINO
STAYS away from the meeting becomes
dissatisfied because Mr.. H. or Mr.. G.
is not made president and gets his
crowd together and makes a split OF
that day.
The whole thing, it is plainly to be
seen, is done on account Of speculation
1t is a shame that the colored people
of San Antonio cannot be united or

to-day no less than 100000 bicycles
in actual use throughout the world.
This does not include the many mil
lions more in storage here, there and
everywhere, both new wheels and the
obsolete ones. 1t represents cycles in
more or less actual daily service of
wheelmen and women. Now, on day
like election day, for instance, and a
corresponding fete day on the other
side of the water at least three-quar-
tiers of these cyclers take little spin,
some a century run, but the average
much less than ten miles. Think what

Look to the BAN Bearings.

One who has had much experience on
the road declares that it is one of the
most foolish things bicycle rider can
do to use his machine if any of the
ball bearings are broken. This occurs
frequently and may easily be detected
by the hard running of the machine and
the grating noise which comes from
that part of the machine in which the
break occurs. AS soon as the break is
discovered the best method to pursue
is to remove the broken part at once,
as if left in it will destroy the cones b
wearing groove in them. 1t is siy >
pie matter to take the bearings apisr-
and the absence of a ball or two ~

GUTHRIE, Ok Oct. 3l-Rev. G
l.. Berry, cashier of the defsnc
Farmers & Citizens bank indicted
for receiving deposits when thu
bank was in a failing condition, wal
convicted aud sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary He was
prominent citizen, and before be
coming bank cashier, was Congre
gational preacher. The banl con
tanned 3 cents when 1t failed.
c. l. Berry is we'll known in Gar
nett Twenty odd years age, he
had a blach smith shop at Central
City. Later, he came to Garrett,
and, we believe, worked awhile in
Henry Miller's shop. He afterwards
taught school several terms in An
derssn county. His wife was a
daugeter of DR.. Lanter and niece
of Hon. John Il. Lanter
Charley finally purchased small
stock of boots and shoes ON the
west side OF the square. and did
fairly we'll for awhile. We believe
he was also an insurance agent. lie
finally concluded thatG arnettwas too
slow for him; that he had no chance
here to advance. He told the writer
that in Garrett he would simply be
Charley Berry. but that if he should
move to some place where he was
not known, he could make some
money and name for himself, and
his family could move in society, etc
etc. He concluded to move to
Cherryvale, whore he engaged in
the clothing business, and we believe
that John 7. Lanter became bis
partner there. The firm did we'll
for awhile. Fortune smiled upon
Charley, and he soon immagined he
had the world by the tail. He soon
concluded to start a bank, and did
pretty well for time, but banking
was too slow, and he made up his
mind to build a railroad and become
a railroad magnate. But he flew too
high, and, in short time, he fell
like rocket-stick. For some time,
he engaged in various kinds of bust
ness newspaper business, commits
sisn business, etc. etc. Finally. he
went to Kansas City, Kas where
10 continued in the commission
business. We lost sight of him for
4 while, but in the course Of time
no drifted into the ministry. How
ong he was engaged in this we do
not know. but during this time we
heard that he narrowly escaped the
penitentiary for some crooked bust
less transactions When the Okla.
hema country was opened up for
settlement, Berry was on hand.
It seems that he "got start" again,
and again engaged in the banking
business, and did little preaching
ION the side" We have heard
hat he did quite we'll for some time.
IL seems, however, that his specula.

appear so from the above telegram.
