Bicycllsts Should DIsmount.

The Supreme court has laid down
two rules which makes it very diff
cult for bicyclists to recover damages
from a railroad company for acci-
dents at crossings. The first is that
no recovery of damages can be had
if there is any contributory negli-
gence on the part of the persons in
jured, and again, everybody must
stop, look and listen before crossing
the tracks. Some time ago bicyc,
list at Philadelphia was killed on II
crossing and his widow sued for
damages. But although it vas shown
that the company was negligent in
not giving any warning OF an ap
preaching train and although the
bicyclist looked and listened and
made circle with his wheel before
crossing the tracks still the Supreme
court decided against the widow,
because the man did not dismouut.
The case was that of Robertson VS..
Pennsylvania railroad which is re
ported in $50 Penna. Reports, page
43, in which the Supreme court held
that the bicycle stop, circling about,
is not the legal stop, but bicyollsts
must dismount, look and listen be-
forc crossing railroad tracks

The tariff bill is likely to be a good
deal more easily recognized by men,
bers of the House when it comes
back to that body than was expect
ed at first. The important changes
which the Finance Committee re-
commended have not been accepted
by the Senate, and in the one i'm
portant schedule remaining, that re-
lating to wool, it is believed that the
House rates on first and second class
woods will be restored, or at least
rates approximate to those named in
the House bill adopted.
The demand for o general revision
Of the currency seems likely to be as
promptly met by the Republicans as
was that for a reform of the tariff.
President Mckinley, it is asserted
semi.authoritatively, will recon-
mend to Congress immediately up
on the passage OF the tariff bill that
q currency commission be created
before the adjournment of the spec
ial session in order that it's report
and plan for o revision of the cur
rency system may be laid before the
regular session of Congress which
will begin in December next.

Like legends old, or fairy dreams,
To clasp these hands in love and truth.
That pledged their faith in early youth,
Full forty years ago.

To clasp these hands in love and truth.
That pledged their faith in early youth,
Full forty years ago.
What joys they've had, what bitter tears
They've shed in all the by-gone years.
But yet in joy and sorrows siege
They've still together kept the bridge
Since forty years ago.
How long it seems, full two score years
In faith and love and mingled fears,
Like voyagers bound for summer lands
They've trod the way with blended hands,
Since forty Years ago.
But Love has made the pathway bright
And Faith has illed the way with light,
And sacred Trust has marked the way
That upward leads to perfect day,
Since forty years ago.
The children one by one have gone
From out the tender loving home,
And children's children come to bless
And cheer their hearts with warm caress,
Since forty years ago.
What changes vast have met the eye,
What storms have harmless passed them by
They've seen the nation like rock
Reel with sharp and sudden shock,
Not forty years ago
The link and chain,-a cruel brace
That fettered held dusky race,
They helped the hand of destiny
To strike the blow that set them free,
Not forty years ago.
When treason rolled restless flood,
And all the land was drenched n blood,
When wives and mothers read the sign
And laid their all on Freedoms shrine,
Not forty years ago;
When brothers raised the hostile hand,
And dangers threatened our fair land,
She Clasped her children brave and true
And babe her husband don the blue,
Not forty years ago
All honor now to loyal wives
Who freely gave their dearer lives,
And wrote on Freedoms deathless page
The lines that saved our heritage,
Not forty years ago.
So. friends, for all it seems SO strange
To note these years of time and change,
Again We clasp these faithful hands
And scatter light the shifting sands
OF time and forty years.
So have they lived in love and peace,
So may they live Till life shall cease,
Aud when they cross the darkenng tide
May faith ard trust with them abide
In Heavens eternity.
