HOW RAPHAEL SETTLED HIS
BILL.

Raphael, the great Italian painter
whose celebrated Biblical pictures ard
worth fabulous sums of money, wal
not a rich man when yoang, and enI
countered some of the vicissitudes o|
life, like many other genius, says HdrI
per's Round Table.
Once when travelling he put up al
an inn, and remained there unable I'd
get away through lack of funds ID
settle his bill. The landlord grew sus
picious that such was the case, and
his requests for a settlement grew
more and more pressing. Finally
young Rafael, in desperation, resort
ed to the following device:
He carefully painted upon a table
top in his room a number of gold
coins, and placing the table in a GER
tain light that gave a startling effect
he packed his few belongings and
summoned his host.
"There," he exclaimed, with a lord
ly wave of his hand toward the table
sis enough to settle my bill and more
Now kindly show the way to the
door,"
The innkeeper, with many smilel
and bows, ushered his guest out, and
then fastened back to gather up hil
gold. His rage and CONSERVATION
when he discovered the fraud knew
no bounds, until a wealthy English
traveller, recognizing the value Of
the art put in the work, gladly paid
himfi fly pounds for the work.

THE NEW ENGLAND FAIR.

Have you thought what large un-
dertaking it is to arrange for an ex-
hibitiOn like our time honored New
England Fair which is to be held at
Rigby Park, Portland, next week, for
there must be an ever ending round
of amusements besides the usual at
fractions. The department devoted
to racing has offered $4,000 in purse
money, and includes events for pac-
ing and trotting in every class. Cycle
racing of course has it's usual promin-
ent place among the list of sports,
and several hundred dollars will be
expected in prices.
The firemen will gather in muster
at the park during the fair, and the
premiums are of sufficient value to
bring out all of the crack companies
of this section.
The celebrated Troop F. United
States Cavalry of Fort Ethan Allen
will be one of the features of the fair,
for these cavalry men have the re-
putation of being the best drilled or
ganization in the country.
Uncle Sam will be represented at
these festivities by no less than six of
the mammoth cruisers which form the
North Atlantic Squadron.
The floral, dairy and agricultural
eXnlDlUS Will far SurpaSS any previous
attempts, while the cattle show and
the usual requisites pertaining 80 the
agricultural shows will be retained.
There will be parades, concerts,
balloon ascensions, Parachute jump
ing, and thousand and one ways for
enjoying ones self.
One of the great attractions is, of
course, the Midway, and here you
will find a greater variety of features
than was ever brought together in
New England.
The whole exhibition is the grand
est event in the fair season of the
Eastern States, and it is safe to say
that hundred thousand persons will
visit the fair during the week.
Every station on the Boston &
Maine Railroad has reduced rate tick
cts to Rigby Park, and information
concerning everything can be obtain
ed at station ticket offices.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Road Rules For Cyclists and Others-The
Charms of Klondike- Age
Of Jean de Reszlse.
Especial Correspondence


Ever since bicycling became almost
universal in this city there has been a
great deal of trouble between wheel
men and drivers as to the right of way.
In the law, of course, all vehicles have
equal rights on the streets, and as BIZ
cycles have been declared to be vehicles
by the courts the question was compli-
Gated The local consulate of the L. A.
W. and representatives of the Associ-
ated Cycling Clubs recently got together
and formulated a set of road regula-
tions, which with some notifications
have been adopted by the board of alder
men. The most fruitful source of acct
dents has been the disinclination of
riders meeting at interesting corners
to give way. This has all been provided
for, as has also the matter of turning
corners. The rules are SO excellent that
they might be and probably will be
adopted by many communities.
They give to those going north and
south the right Of way over those going
east and west and make it a misde-
meanor for citizen to refuse to yield
the right Of way to an ambulance, q
police wagon, a fire engine or doctors
wagon, provided the doctor has a police
permit. Riders Of bicycles and drivers
must keep to the left when overtaking
another going in the same direction,
and above Thirty-ninth street they can
not turn unless 5 feet ahead of We
hicIe behind.
Drivers Called to Time.
Drivers must raise their whips or
IL 80 -
or about to turn corner and bicyclists
must carry a bell not more than three
inches in diameter, SO that they will
not be mistaken for a FIRE engine or an
ambulance.
Eight miles an hour is fixed as the
limit at which bicyclists can ride in
the city No more than two can ride
abreast and coasting is forbidden be-
low One Hundred and Twenty fifth
street Bicycle riders must carry lamps,
as at present.
Drivers of vehicles must be more than
is years old. Heavy wagons must not
go faster than five miles an hour on the
streets, and vehicles other than bicycles
are forbidden to turn corners faster than
three miles an hour.
Riding on the sidewalk is prohibited,
but wheelmen may trundle their ma
chimes in single file Bicyclists cannot
carry babies less than years old on
their wheels. The penalty for violation
of any of the provisions is fixed at $40
instead Of $50, as originally proposed.
Riders and drivers must make long
turns when going to the left and the
speed around corners must not be more
than three miles an hour

the short cuJrOule IS almost lTrtsls1IDaS..
Naturally there are thousands in this
city as we'll as elsewhere who are saw
ing up every spare dollar to create a
fund on which to go to the land of Alad-
din with the oriental weather omitted
next spring They hope to make for
tunes and possibly will. Many others
are going there for the purpose of open
ing outfitting establishments at points
usually touched by prospectors on the
way to the goldfelds. The plan, how
ever, which seems to hold forth almost
a certainty of success comes from some
actors. This is all the more remarkable
because of the fact that Thespians are
notoriously poor business men, This
particular scheme had its birth in the
usually not too active brain of fellow
who is leading man for second rate
companies. He confded it to several of
his friends who are also actors, with the
result that four men and two women
will start for the Klondike region early
next spring. They will go little ahead
of time and give entertainments at
Dyea, Juneau and other places where
the miners will outfit. They expect to
find there many of the early birds wait
ing for the season to open so that they
may be the first to get in. These people,
they argue, will have considerable mon
ey and should not be averse to spending
little of it in the effort to while away
the tedium of the long and dreary even
lngs. When the proper time arrives, the
player folk will start for the diggings,
where they will give play each night
AS all of them are old actors and are up
in perhaps 100 of the standard printed
{ s4nas and comedies, they will be able
to vary the bill nightly for several
months It is their present plan to in
duce the miners to ''chip in" toward
the expense of erecting a cheap theater
OF wood and to charge pretty stiff prices
of admission.
They may find that the miners are no
easier to gouge than other people, but
at any rate there is little likelihood
that the enterprise will be failure
Jean de Reszke's Age.
A Weighty matter has recently been
disposed of. For some time the chang

stated his age The country at large
may now breathe again. for De Reszkes
certificate of birth is now available.

point is, of course, wrong, though this

A WAR INCIDENT.

Among the prisoners taken by the
Union troops at the time Pickett
made his great charge at Gettysburg
was Virginia sergeant. He was a
Mason. Captain John A. Kellogg of
the Sixth Wisconsin gave him drink
of something reviving from his can
teen and put some rations in his
empty haversack. Their parting was
that of brothers.
In December, 1864, when Kellogg
was colonel commanding his regi-
ment, I accompanied him on a ride
along the picket line a few miles to
the left of Petersburgh. By some
means, and without knowing it, we
got between the picket lines. We
were brought to a halt suddenly by
the following unmilitary salutation:
''Is that you, Capt. Kellogg?
Looking up, and about two rods TO
the right, we saw lieutenant and
dozen men in gray, who had appar-
emily just taken their arms in prepa-
ration for serious business.
''That's my name, SIR" answered
the colonel.
''Beg pardon. Col. Kellogg. You
were a captain at Gettysburg. Allow
me to extend my congratulations up
on your promotion"
1t was becoming interesting, and
both of Us were making plans for
shooting match between a dozen
Johnny pickets with guns in their
hands, and two officers who had only
revolvers, and they not in hand.
"Guess you don't remember me,
Colonel.".
"I guess that is So" said Kellogg;
and he was more nervous than L ever
saw him in battle.
''I'm the sergeant you gave nip to
from your canteen, and whose haver-
sack you filed at Gettysburg They
have made me lieutenant since then.
I'd like to have visit with you, but
the officer of the day is due here.
Guess you had better get back to
your lines"
'Thank you, Lieutenant" said the
colonel, saluting; and as we turned to
leave, the Confederate gave the COM
mand: shoulder arms! Right dress!
Present arms?'' Then both of us
lifted our hats. There was fraternity
for you.

LONGS MURDERER NOT CAUGHT:
70 Ciue to the Identity or Those Involved I'm
the Midnight Tragedy In Greenwich.

NO Clue to the identity OF 1hose Involved In
the Midnight Tragedy In Greenwich.
GRKENwtcH. Conn.,, June 1.-THE murderer Of
Edward Long, who was shot in the head here at
midnight on Saturday. has not been found by
the Greenwich police. No one doubts that the
guilty man is the companion of the woman with
whom Long and his friends were carousing hat
night, but both the man and the woman have
disappeared. They were traced by Sheriff Fitz-
roy to Stamford. but there the trail was lost.
The couple have been in Greenwich, always
together. from time to time for eight months,
and, although the woman has made the ac-
quaintance OF many persons, no one has learned
her lame nor where her homo Is. She has been
known simply as Nell and the man as Joe. He
is described as between % and 30 years old. 5
feet 0 inches tall, heavily built. and well dressed.
The woman Is about the same age. She was
dressed entirely in black.
Nine young men were arrested this morning
and held for the Coroner's inquest. They were
those who saw the strange woman and her com.
panion Saturday. night. After being examined
they were al! released. Their testimony was to
the effect that Long and the strangers were left
alone In the vacant lot about midnight. and that
shortly thereafter the shooting occurred.
Tonight William Geer, the night ticket agent
at the railroad station, was arrested on a war
rant. He was known TO be acquainted with the
woman, and. II was supposed. could give her
name. He persisted that he did not know il.
He said she told him that she was a variety
singer from bridgeport. The man had told him

by Longs body, was made by a millinor at Port

bered the hat. but she could not recall who the
woman was who bought II.
Geer was locked up to appear as q witness at
day until 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning. He ID
not suspected OF completely in the crime.

He proposed that she go to London. England,
where he would join her In a week and marry
hor.
She sailed for Europe on Feb. Is. and before
going gave him all her money and jewelry ut his
request. on the plea that some one might rob

London, and as she had little money she soon
became destitute and was sent TO u charitable
institution when she became III.
After her recovery she told her story to the
American Consul-General, who procured her
passage back to this country. She arrived here
