BICYCLES NOT BAGGAGE.
That is the Decision Of the Circuit Court of
 Appeals at St. Louis.

Appeals at St. Louis.
 The St. Louis Republic reports the following interesting court news, De- ing d decision rendered by thee'ireuit Court of Appeals in case wherein q former Little Rock citizen was the party who originally instituted the suit:
 4 case of interest to bicycle ride s was decided adversely to them. J. H. Bettis bought ticket at Webste r Groves for St. Louis over the Mis- souri Pacific road, and wanted to have his bike shipped as baggage under the 100 pound rule. The rail- road officials refused to carry the wheel unless he paid for it as freight. Bettis applied for n writ ct manda- mus to compel the railroad company to carry the wheel free, and Circuit Judge Russell granted the writ. The appellate court reverses Judge Russell, holding that such articles as bicycle was not contemplated by the statute. The contention set np by the petitioners lawyers was that a bicycle was d necessary article, being used at the end of the journey as further means of conve4an under such q contemplation. the appellate court holds, d light road wagon or d vehicle for training horses might be included as some of these come within the 100 pound limit.

That they were good, we can judge from their descendants; that they were old, we know from the dates on their tomb stones in the old "Burying Ground" on Bell Hill; that they were Puritans, we may be assured; else why did they name the new settlement Judea?

in private life and in the service of the nation, is surprisingly large for school of the Gunnery's size and age.
 To prepare for college has always been part of the Gunnery's work. There have always, in the last 25 years at least, been several representatives at Yale, and gen. erally, at least, one at Harvard. Of these, many have taken highest honors i; others have been Class Orators, Class Poets, and the like. The physical side has always shown up well, and the Gun nery has had her full share of men on the Varsity and Class Teams. There are, at the present time, about 20 'old boys'' in Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Tech nology. About half of the present Gun nery boys expect to go to college.
 To those familiar with Washington it is unnecessary to descant upon the beau ties of her scenery to those who have never seen them, it is vain for us to at tempt to describe them. That they have been appreciated may, be seen from the fact that something like score of New York's business men have beautiful sum mer residences here. Besides, the 'sGun- nery Inn," and the other boarding places are always filled to overf1owing with summer visitors.
 And now our task-if task it can be called-is done. We have told you that we have been able to about the school :; we will show you pictures of the school and surroundings, but we cannot describe or portray the bracing healthgiving air of Washington, the kind nature of it's in- habitants, nor the charm that hangs about the whole school and town.

 In the annals of early Judea, conspicu- ous among the townspeople, are the names of Gum and Brinsmade. The Gums were of Scottish descent, and sprung from the old Highland clan of the ! Gums sturdy race of mountsineers, celebrated in Scotch history for never ending conflicts with a neighboring clan, the Macdonalds. The Brinsmades were of English extraction, and their first representative in Washington was the Rev Daniel Brinsmade, pastor of the First Congregational Society of Juiea. This gentleman settled here, and from him have descended all of the Washing ton branch of the Brinsmade family.
 Frederick William Gum and Abigail Irene Brinsmade, the Founder and first Master, and the first Mistress, of the Gunnery, were born iu Washington, on October 4, 1S16, and July IS, 1920, re- spectively. MT Gum spent his child hood and was prepared for college in and near Washington; when nearly seven. teen years old, he entered the class of 1887 of Yale College. Soon after gradu. at New Preston. He followed this call ing for a few years, but temporarily as he thought, and finally decided to adopt it as his profession for life.
 On April 19, 1S4S, Miss Brinsmade and he were married. It was the intention of the young couple to establish board ing-school; and so, in 1847, they quilted Washington for Towanda, Pennsylvania where they started the Towanda Acade my. Here they remained until 1850 when they returned to Washington, anl founded what was destined to become The Gunnery. The building was on thu site of the present Gunnery, and was { conventional New England homestead Here they remained, and little by little built up the Gunnery into fiourishins boarding ard day school. The nam' "Gunnery" arose partly from the nam' of Gum, and partly from a pun; a gun nery being an excellent place to ''teacl the young idea how to shoot."
 To try to give an account of the growtl of this town and school from this tim' until Mir Gunn's death, in 1881, would b, folly; it has been so thoroughly and ex cellently done in ''The Master of thu Gunnery," that any thing we could writ would necessarily be but a short and un satisfactory repetition.

Brinsmade, nephew of Mrs Gum, and resident of Springfield, Mass, first came to the Gunnery as scholar. He attended the Gunnery for several years, and finally entered Harvard with the class of 1874. Immediately after gradu- ating, he became teacher at the Gun nery, and in 1876 was married to MT Gunn's daughter, Mary Gold Gum. From that time on he was intimately as- sociated with Mir Gum in the manage ment of the school, and upon MT Gunn's death, in 1881, became the second master of the Gunnery.
 MT Brinsmade was admirably qualified to be MT Gunn's successor. Having been under MT Gum both as scholar and teacher, he understood and sympathized with MT Gunn's ideas and system of teaching and governing. Like MT GuDn, he was deeply interested in the physical as we'll as mental culture of the boys.
