cycling Notes.

Next month milder weather will pre-
vail. The roads will then be hard and
smooth, and on pleasant days cyclers on
pleasure and business bent, will be seen
spinning along the highways. Years ago
the few wheelmen Of Woodstown rode
the old fashioned high wheel, while our
neighbor, DIR. Jaquette, was satisfied to
ride his primitive safety bicycle-then the
only machine of the kind used, To dav
high wheel would look just as odd
among the saf5ies.
EDWARD Lewis was among the first
riders here, and among the first ladies of
che town to mount wheel was Miss L.
Cooper. d. W. G. White was the first
man to take the agency for the safety
bicycle. Mr.. White commenced sc elling
wheels in 1892, selling the first Wheel q
Belmont. to Frank Dorrell. In '95 he
disposed of thirteen machines, and last
year he disposed of thirty-one bicycles.
The coming season his display of new
wheels promises to be extensive. The
Crescent improved, Spaulding, Crawford
and other makes will be included in his
stock. E. W. Humphreys, at the Opera
House Store, has in his large show
windows. very beautiful '97 Waverley
which attracts much attention. Adam
Knowles will fill orders for new
machines, and if your much.used bike
needs treatment at bicycle hospital
take it to Knowles.
1t is estimated, says the Inquirer, that
the output of the several hundred Ameri-
can factories this year will be from five
hundred thousand to a million machines,
Ihep the same paper goes on to say that
the immense popularity of the bicycle
has had an influence for good in many
directions. 1t has had an effort in the
making of better roads and it has helped
to impart to men and women a knowledge
of the use of ordinary tools. Such
manual training is profitable, as is also
the knowledge which they gain of the
country and of rural life.
The wide awake writer for Comforts
Cycling Club, in his last letter, comments
on prices of wheels in this manner:
"While the market in 1896 was flooded
with wheels of inferior make, the manu.
tactHrers of high grade machines stood
0y their price of one hundred dollars.
Some cheap machines have given salts.
faction and there is strong tendency
toward reduction, but tim wheels have
had their day, and those who bought
cheap bicycles last year will be buying
high grade machines next spring. One
of the leading makes of the high grade
wheels says it will be possible to buy a
wheel as good as any made for eighty
dollars, and second grade wheels as low
as sixty dollars. Any way whether they
come high or not the bike has come to be
necessity and everybody will have
one.' B.B.

The CommunI,y's Interest in IFS Mil

The COmmu n1ty's Interest In HIS M1iA
10 nearly every village where there is
mill, the community recognizes that the
operation of -four mill is good thing
for the town; and, because it is good
thing for the town, it assumes that the
miller has duty to the community. But
it forgets the reciprocal duty of patron
izing the mill. Ifthe operation of -four
mill is a Desirable thing for the town,
the town ought to make it fairly profit
able thing for the miller. Bot, too ofteD,
the town tries to see how interesting it
can make competition for the local mill,
and possibly makes the miller bear the
unjust share of local burdens while deny
ing him fair share of local prosperity.
Just such short-sighted policy has ruined
many promising enterprise, and built
up some rival but more liberal-minded
community. AN OBSERVER.

New Jersey Annual Conference.

New jersey Annual conference.
The approaching session of the New
Jersey Annual Con ference is beginning to
excite considerable interest among the
ministers and churches. as a number of
important changes are likely to be made.
The Conference will be held in the
Central M. E. Church, Trenton, com
mencing on March Gath, Bishop Warren
presiding.
OF the Presiding Elders, Rev. George
Reed has served six years on the Trenton
District, and will retire, and it is said he
will take the psstorate of the church at
Ocean City.
There are number of names mentioned
for the position of Presiding Elder for that
district, but who the man will be has not
yet been determined. Among those
mentioned are Rev.. B Graw, D. D of
the First Church. Trenton; Rev. James
Moore, D. D., of Central Cburch; Rev. j.
B. Haines, of Atlantic Highlands, and
Rev. J. L. Roe. now secretary of the
Conference and stationed at Trinity
Church. BridgetoD.
The possible appointments are the all ab-
sorbing theme among the majority of the
people. There will be two important
Camden charges to be filled, and possibly
three. Rev. ]. s. Heisler retires from
Union Church to take the super nu nerary
relation, and the death of DR.. Mace leaves
Broadway pastorless. 1t is altogether
| probable that in the general shake-up
following the filling of these two places
and the EldeIship that DR.. Hewitt will be
removed from Tabernacle. As far as
Broadway is concerned it is generally
conceded that if it wants transfer from
some other Conference it can have it.
The Broadway Church would like to have
Rev. j. L. Sooy. He is now in Kentucky,
having gone there last year. and it ID
doubtful if his transfer could be secured,
Presiding Elder Wight, of the Bridge
ton District, is also mentioned in con.
nection with the pastorate of this church

will include the First Church, Salem;
