FfeaVen Of Bicycles.
Dozens of Congressman Learn to Ride the Wheel
in Washington.
in Washin ton.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE lull in
legislation in the house While the SEN
ate was considering the tariff bill in
creased the number of Wheelmen in
Washington. Many a member from re-
mote parts of the country learned to
ride the wheel Washington has been
called the heaven of bicycles. 1t has
over 300 miles Of concrete pavements
and the roads in its vicinity are far
better than the average. 1t is the only
city in the United States where streets
are better than the sidewalks. A trip
to Baltimore and back is no novelty.
Wheelmen so there in large parties
and return the same day. To a stranger
the city seems to be alive with bicycles.
Men and women, girls and boys fit
through the streets like swallows, dart
ing here and there between cars and
vehicles. Some are bent on business,
and others are out for pleasure alone.
Thousands employed in the various de-
partments go to and from their work
upon wheels. The courts Of the interior
department, Of the war and navy build
ing and Of the post office building are
crowded with bicycles. In every de-
partment provision is made for them.
The crypt of the capitol is filed with
them. There is a place set apart for
them on the ground floor of the pension
building. Theaters advertise them
checked and stored without charge.
A congressman who Is q member Of
the L. A w. rode past the city post
Office recently at Z o'clock in the morn
ing. The streets in the vicinity
sW2rmed with wheelmen in gray uni
form. They trooped away from the
building in platoons, north, south, east
and west, making the morning de-
livery. These letter carriers run to the
extreme limits Of the city. They use
the wheel IN the delivery Of letters.
Collections from the street boxes are
most all made by carriers on wheels.
Some carriers ride to their field of de-
livery and leave their wheels at a
pharmacy or a grocery while they dis
tribute their letters. The congressman
saw one of the carriers leave his wheel
at the residence OF Senator Stewart,
and from there made deliveries on foot.
1t IS estimated that from 10000 to
5000 persons employed in Washington
use their wheels in going to and re.
turning from business. Nearly 10000
ire employed in the departments alone,
and Of these 1t is safe to say that
more than one-quarter use the wheel
The sight in the morning hours is ex-
hilirating. Rosy-cheelled typewriters
in natty costumes, machinists en-
rloyed at the navy yard, department
clarks, male and female old and
young, school girls and school marms,
oil dash to their work mounted upon
wheels. Some sail along with charm
ing grace and even abandon, while
others nervously grip the handles Of
their wheels and dismount when in
doubt Many sit as straight as ram
rods, with hands behind their backs,
driving the wheels as though they were
parts Of themselves. Others maintain
an unconscious, but easy, attitude, ap-
parently thinking over the work of the
day. A few bend to the low handle
bars, and speed along as though suf-

roundabout. The suit is unique and
characteristic. The coat may have
come from the plains of Texas, but
the stockings are a symphony in hos
iery. The services of no Boston tailor
were required 1t recalls the story of
a well-known captain in the navy, of
whom it is said that he made his own
clothes and cut his own hair
A conspicuous figure in quiet streets
of cool afternoon is Commodore Sam
son, Of the ordnance bureau. He rides
q high frame wheel with aplomb and
dignity. In days gone by the COM
modore was a favorite in the tennis
court with Secretary Olney, of Massa-
chusetts They played on the lot ad-
joining the residence Of Mrs. U. S.
Grant. The commodore is full as grace

The Conduit road and the shady
drives about the soldiers home arc
taVorite courses for wheelmen. To-
ward night they appear here by hun
dreds. Accidents are comparatively
few, because scorching is strictly for
bidden. The ordinance is enforced by
a bicycle squad of uniformed police
officers. To those standing upon the
csplanade of the capitol on the last
night of the session in the early even

more stirring. The air was filled with
the tinkling Of tiny bells, and lights
glimmered far and near on every road

Gently expressed his astonishment at
seeing friend upon a wheel 'It is
the only indication of lunacy that I
have ever seen in you" he remarked.
The wheelman replied, I'm a quarter
of century you will see one hundred
wheelmen where you now see one. All
the rising generation are infatuated
with the wheel. 1t is even more use
full than ornamental"
You are crazy was the reply, at
is simply a fad. Within ten years it
will die out, and you will not see one
wheel where you now see a hundred"

The wheel is also a favorite with the
members of the Chinese legation. Sew
eral of the attaches are experts. All
ride ladies' wheels on account of their
flowing robes.
In fact, everybody rides the wheel,
the clergyman and the congressman,
the lawyer and his client, the doctor
and his patient, the mistress and the
maid, everybody but the Office seeker.

SAGINAW, Mich, July 1.-THE city's
street railway system is completely
tied up today as a result of a several
months fight between the city and the
Union Street Railway company, which
eliminated recently in a decision by
the supreme court, sustaining the right
of the city to take any measures to
compel the railway company to settle
for certain special improvement taxes
Following this the common council de-
