with our surplus female population
must be solved, either by such COM
pulsory law or the establishing of state
and national matrimonial bureaus, and
in the appointing of committees of in

only then, viii the question of how

100000 abandoned women of New York
and the 10000 of Boston could give
some valuable information to the in
vestigating committees, and then the
conundrum why so few American men
marry in country where every in
dustry is SO well protected could be
solved.
In the meantime, during the pending
Investigations on the moral industrial
and matrimonial status of the country
by national and state government Of
ficials, we, your humble petitioners, in
behalf of the women who are
doomed 10 matrimonial appointments
through no fault of ours, appeal to
the chivalry of the American states
men, the representative men of this
great and glorious free country of ours,
TO protect US by giving US women the
opportunity to get out of this land of
civilization to that Of the bleak and
barren wilds of far off Alaska by maxi
ing liberal appropriations for trans
portation and rations, that we may be
enabled to start colony exclusively
of women that will be known as mo
Mans Territory"
The last suggestion in the above is
splendid. Charlotte herself should be
sent off to Alaska by the very first
steamer departing for that country.
The climate, especially a few months
hence, would cool her fevered brow and
quench the fire in her bosom.
Congress Will scarcely undertake to
enact compulsory marriage laws; were
it going to do anything in this line
it would most likely take the form of
divorce legislation. There seems to be
more demand for it than anything else
in the marital line.
If there is a surplus female popula-
ton, which may be doubted, it might
do away with itself and so solve the
problem that is worrying Mrs. Smith.
When she talks about 100000 aban-
doned women in New York and 10000
in Boston, she is merely making asser-
tons for which there is no foundation.
That there are many thousands of
abandoned women in those two cities,
there is no question, but nothing like
the numbers Mrs. Smith gives. She
is simply a crank and what she writes
is nothing but crankiness. 1t would be
worthy of no notice but that she seems
TO have quite a few followers and is
prominent in female suffrage circles.
Still, she is scarcely more cranky than
the congress to which she appealed.

A BICYCLE DECISION.

Justice DaVy of the New York SUI
preme court has just rendered a de-
cisior that is of great interest to BIZ
cyclists The plaintiff in the case, VINO
carried an accident policy in the Fra
ternal Accident Association of America,
was injured by fall from his bicycle.
This was in 1894. AS a result of the
fall he was incapacitated from work
for more than q year. He sued the
company to recover twenty dollars a
week for a year. The company de-
Tended on the grounds that under it's
contract the plaintiff was pledged to
submit his claim to arbitration in the
event of a disagreement with the COM
pany; this he refused to do. The COM
pany also set UP as defense that the
policy provided that if the plaintiff
should be injured while engaged tenn
porarily or otherwise in any occupa-
ton or exposure. classified as more
hazardous than that specified in the
certificate, the indemnity should be at
the rate of the more hazardous occu-
patton.
plaintiff on both points. The account
of the case in the New York Evening
Post is as follows:
In the first he held that no private
agreement looking to arbitra ton could
extinguish the plaintiffs right Of ap-
peal to the courts. In the second he
dismissed as untenable the theory that
bicycling as practiced by the ordinary
citizen is an extra hazardous" occu-
patton, deciding that the word "occu-
patton as used in the policy referred
to a mans regular business or calling,
and did not cover a harmless pastime
like bicycle riding. The clause in the
policy under which the company fought
the claim specially excludes bicycle
riders from the ordinary benefits of the
policy as follows: Insured
persons accidentally injured while en-
gagged in polo, baseball games or bicy-
cling, shall receive only the indemnity
provided for such Sames-an indemnity
of the lower class" In regard to this
Justice Davy said: 1T seems to me
that & person who only rides a bicycle
occasionally for convenience and pleas
ure is not a bicyclist within the mean
ing of said policy. The mere fact that
a man rides a bicycle occasionally for
pleasure does not make him by occu-
patton q PROFESSIONAL DlcycllSt. Inc
clause in the policy evidently has ref
erence TO those who are professional
bicyclists. and make their living by
racing on the wheel These are close
and interesting questions, however: but
in reaching these conclusions I have
given the agreement expressed in the
certificate or policy of insurance a lib
eral, and, what seems to me. a rea-
sonable and fair construction
The decision seems to be a very
proper one. Bicycling is no more haz-
ardous than is horseback riding, rid
ing on railroad cars or street cars. 1t
is true that those who engage in it
sometimes meet with accidents, but do
not those who travel in other ways also
meet with accidents at times?
The most interesting part of the de-
cision is that which says that no pri-
vate agreement looking to arbitration
could extinguish the plaintiffs right of
appeal to the courts.
The decision is important to BIZ
cyclists.

A comMENDABLE CUSTOM.

Not long ago there was an explosion
peating Arms company. in which sew
eral employees were killed. 1t was
distressing in the extreme, and nc
amount of money can compensate the
families of those who lost a loved one
But every family to which death came
as the result OF the accident will re-
ceive $4,000 from the company. This
is the usual amount given without
question by the company in case OF
every fatal accident.
How much better it is for the Win
chester company to do this than to
allow those who have had a father or
brother or husband killed to bring
suit for damages against it. The
amount the company gives 4; about all
that family could hope to recover in
most cases, and then there is no ex-
pense of suit TO be paid. This custom
makes those who work for the COM
pany entertain the kindliest feelings
for it; it makes them feel that they
are employed by human beings who
have a sympathy for them in the hour
of their greatest sorrow, and not by a
soulless corporation.
The custom of the Winchester Arms
company might very profitably be
adopted by other great corporations,
such. as railroads and the like. 1t
would create friendly feeling between
employers and employees that is too
often lacking, for that which does
most to anger employees in cases
where some of them are killed or
MANNED while in the employ of a great
company, is the treating of them as
mere beasts of burden and not as fell
low men. No matter in what situation
in life men may be placed, they like
to be treated as men. This fact is too
often forgotten by those in control of
the great corporations.

COMPULSORY MATR1MoNY.

Last year Mrs. Charlotte Smith was
endeavoring to reform the world and
do. away with crime by having BIZ
cycling abolished. The crime and the
bicycle abide with us though there is
no connection between them. Mrs.
Smiths efforts in this direction were
a signal failure. This year the lady
has been devoting some attention to
the question of matrimony. At the re-
cent meeting in Boston of the friends
of woman suffrage. Mrs. Smith read
a memorial, prepared by herself, adj

Unconvential With the Queen.

Answers: The queen was once In
formed by the manager of her Shaw farm
that a Mr.. Elliott, Scottish farmer, was
a breeder of superior collie dogs. and she
thereupon expressed a wish to possess
one of them. Accordingly Mr.. Elliott
forwarded two beautiful dogs, and her
majesty was so enraptured with them
that she gave orders that the next time
he came to the farm he should immedi-
ately be taken up to the castle.
Mr.. Elliott was somewhat uneasy as to
how he should comport himself in the
presence of royalty, and the manager
spent a considerable time in putting him
through his facings. At last the fateful
day arrived, and he was uShered into the
presence of the queen.
Her majesty shook hands with him,
and said:

THE Jubilee parade on July "a was
the grandest parade ever seen in the
state. Many of the floats were mag
nificent. Nearly every county in the
state was represented by one or more
floats. The float representing Sanpete
county was very pretty, but. like those
of many other counties, it fell far short
of showing our great resources. Davis
county easily carried off the honors
for the best display. She had several
floats in the parade, representing her
varied resources. Her display was
made up of the products of the county
and it demonstrated that the natural
products were far superior to the arti-
fetal representations" says the Eph-
RAIN Enterprise. No one or two floats,
or half a dozen floats, for that matter,
could adequately show the resources of
the great county of Sanpete.
