ing Bicycles Free.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14-Bicycles are now
carried as baggage without extra charge
on American railroad lines aggregating over
$4,000 miles in length, an increase of about
10000 miles since last February. The prin-
cipal coast-line steamers on both the At
Iantic and the Pacific coasts are included in
this list, and all the big transpacific lines
to China, Japan and Australia are in line
with the same policy. In France all rail-
roads carry bicycles as ordinary baggage,
and the increase of receipts within the last
very substantial. The same effect is noted
in this country, as shown in the case of
last year carried about 10000 cyclist passen-
gers and this year about 10000, each paying
a full firSt-clasS fare.

Mrs. Fiske's Fight with the Trust.

Mrs. Ftske's Fight with the trust.
Detroit Tribune.
The receipts of Mrs. Fiske at the Pike
Opera House, Cincinnati, week before last,
amounting to $s14o.25, were the largest re-
corded in that city by a dramatic attraction
in many seasons. These figures. in fact,
represent the actual maximum of the most
prosperous of stars for any week in New
York city during a season, while in every
other city of the country they would be
phenomenal in any circumstances and at
any theater. When it is considered that
Mrs. Fiske in Cincinnati played in vaude-
vile theater, to which she was forced by
reason of her antagonism to and her refusal
to have any relations with the theater
trust, the result Is all the more significant.
The crusade against the trust. cause for
which was found in the trusts treatment
of Mr.. Wilson and it's attempts to embar-
rass Mrs. Fiske in her tour, has not only
won the assistance of the best newspapers
in the country. but has brought antagon-
ism to the trust from Augustine DAILY,
Richard Mansfield, James A. Hearne,
Frank Daniels, H. c. Miner, Edwin
Knowles and others, and at the moment
there is forming an alliance of notable ac-
tors and managers for the protection of the
interests of the American stage that will at
once destroy all trust plans and cause the
disfntegratfOn of the combination.

Richard Mansfield's experiences with his
dresser in Philadelphia ended in a manner
somewhat different from his usual disagree
ments with Ills employees. These ruptures
have been frequent enough to make many
persons hesitate before any business asso-
citation with him, although Mr.. Mansfield
has never been able himself to discover any
reason in the world why anybody should
quarrel with him.
Quarrel with me?" he asked once, in the
presence of a group of his friends. why,
1 am a little ball of dancing sunshine. Who
could quarrel with me?"
A great many persons have quarreled
with him, but it must be said that he usual
ly gives a fair warning to everybody likely
to become connected with him. One story of
this kind exhibits Mr.. Manshelds methods.
He was on the point of engaging as secre-
tary young man with whom he had been
in negotiation for several weeks. one night
when he was acting in the city he invited
the prospective secretary to go home with
him to supper, and the theater was quite
remote from the place at which they took
supper. After they were seated the actor
suddenly called for his valet and asked him
where certain ring which he wore habit
ually then was. The man said that he had
placed it, as usual in the pocket of the coat
which Mr.. Mansfield had worn when he
came into the dressing room. That was
regularly put. But that explanation did
not satisfy the actor. He insisted that the
valet go down to the theater and see If the
ring were not in the dressing room. But
it is after 1 o'clock" the man protested.
But he was told to go and have the theater
opened. He obeyed, and after a few min
utes Mr.. Mansfield drew the ring from his
pocket and put it on.
az realized as soon as he spoke he said,
that had forgotten to look in that pocket
for my ring. But l never allow myself to
feel that anybody in my employ can do
anything but my own will. What 1 say
must be done, and that Wallets protest
against going to the theater and looking for
the ring made it certain that he would
have tc, go. 1 realized that l might have
the ring in my pocket. But in any case
my will had to be obeyed."
The a1legory was a little too direct for the
wouId-be secretary. and his negotiations
with the actor ended that night.-New

before what it meant.
They had most elaborate funeral
and buried Fleece with military honors,
with his body wrapped in flag, and
they marched to the grave to the beat
of a toy drum, with Hugo, who
followed close, as chief mourner. When
the little mound, flower covered and
draped with flag, was finished, Hugo
laid himself down across the tiny grave,
and refused to be comforted. He
would neither eat nor drink, and the
next morning they found the great
fellow stiff and cold in death, still
faithfully guarding the mound that
covered his dear little friend. His
great, loving heart was broken with
grief.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Kind Words for Judges.

People have a funny notion about
judges. am sorry for judges some
times, and wonder that they don't lose
all the tender elements of nature, be-
cause people always think they are Sc
we're and stern, and estimate them
from a wrong standpoint. People don't
stop to think that judges are like
themselves, but must be governed by
law and legal principles in the admin
istration of justice. l don't suppose
there is Judge in the state who does
not shrink from the duty of sending a
man to prison. 1t is surely hard
thing to do, and though he may school
himself to calmness in passing SEN
tence, there is sorrow about it which
the public does not realize, and espe-
cially those interested in the people
he sends to prison. 1t is not hardness
of heart. If their inclinations were
followed, fewer men would go to
prison, but they are governed by a
sense of duty first, and then by law,
reason, circumstances and facts.-The
Listener, in Window Reporter.

A Dogs BROKEN HEART.

Mr.. w. L. Murfree, brother of the
weliknown novelist, Charles Egbert
Craddock, recently related a remark
able instance of dogs affection for
his kind.
1t was during the war, when the
Murfree family lived near Murfrees-
borO, Tenn. The children owned two
dogs, a great St. Bernard named Hugo,
and tiny white poodle, Fleece. The
two were inseparable companions, and
whenever Hugo's dignified self ap-
peared there gamboled beside him the
absurd bundle of curls and wool. 1t
was Landseer's picture of Dignity and
Impudence in life. Hugo lOokedlwith
anxious solicitude after Fleece if the
little fellow ran away, which he fire.
quently did, and never gave it up until
he brought Fleece home again in safe
conduct.
Battles were raging all around them,
and one night the firing was so near
and incessant that no one slept.
The next morning Hugo and Fleece
were missing, and while the children
searched for them Hugo YEARLY walked
through the gate, carrying poor little
Fleece's dead body.
He walked to his mistress and laid
his burden gently down at her feet,
then with look of unutterable grief
laid himself down beside it, nor could
they coax nor drive him away. Little
Fleece's white coat was blood stained.
A stray bullet had ended his happy
little life, and the children wept over
