The report printed a few days ago

Ices roamed across the plains they not
infrequently compelled trains to stop

ELECTRIC Power Carriages.

From Pennsylvania Grit: Some time
ago Grit printed picture Of one of the
electric carriages introduced in Lon
don, England, where a company has
established regular omnibus and spe-
cial service routes. This form convey
ance is now in practical use in Phila-
delphia, New York, Boston, Chicago,
and other large cities Of the Union,
where paved streets are the rule. A
concern which has begun the manu-
facture Of these vehicles on a large
scale has established headquarters in
New York City. 1t is as yet only in
its infancy, and has only about a dozen
vehicles on exhibition at its salesrooms.
These arrived from Philadelphia where
the factory is situated, about two weeks
ago. Since then they have been oper-
ated about the streets. There is a mo-
tor vehicle which, on Sept. IL, 1896,
made five mile run at the Narragan-
sett Park races, in Providence, R. l.,
in IL minutes and % seconds. The
average time per mile was two min
utes II seconds, and it covered the dis
lance at the rate of little more than
% miles an hour, establishing a record
for motor vehicles. The hansoms and

Jules had stood gazing blankly, from
one to another.
Monsieur Emile" said he, sudden
ly, as a momentary silence ensued; 81
don't understand this at all. You told
me that Chlotilde was your niece; uR'
derstood that she was of peasant
birth"
Emile smiled proudly.
II adopted her for my niece when !
believed her friendless-now her
mother has returned she must go back
to her true name Will 1t matter to
you, who asked me for my niece,
though warned you of my peasant
origin, that she comes from a noble
family?"
"Ah, not to me, who looked upon her
while Chlotilde as the peer Of our
proudest duchess; but am penniless,
stripped of everything-her mother
may object"
Il see you are still mystiiied but
what does the lady say herself?" and
he touched the hand of Lady Felicle
gently.
She smiled, blushed and then, look
ing up with tears still sparkling in
her eyes, she answered.
81 say | would rather remain Chic
tide, always II another name will take
me from the love of Jules. or his be-
trothal VOW"
Then turning to the countess, she
said eagerly:
my mother surely will not consid-
err it any hindrance that he love has
no claim to noble birth, when his ma
ture has proved to be thoroughly hero
ic and grand"
Heaven forbid" answered the coun-
tess, earnestly, but am perplexed-"

little of the mystery. Jules, allow me to

And Emile, his face glowing with
happiness, clasped the two youthful
hands together.
They stared at each other in amaze
ment.
"The marquis l dreaded and feared
uttered Felicle.
"The Lady Felicie / so thoroughly
detested" stammered Edward Jules.
Emile smiled ioyously. and bending
down to the countess began a whisper
cd explanation.
II knew that they were prejudiced
against each other; saw 1t was your
wish they should be united. When l
found the young marquis was only
stunned by the blow on his head, l
knew 1 must keep them together in my
secret retreat, and formed this plan,
foreseeing how 1t would end"
"Our benefactor and preserver al
ways" said the countess, softly; "alas!
we have no reward to give in return"
Emile opened his lips eagerly, and then
closed them again, murmuring, as he

uOSQuANO 40 NSPNDAN
81 carving malarial diseases, and
that it is possible that to this annoy
ing and persistent insect malarial DIS
tricts owe their extremely bad reputa-
ton. An Italian scientist thinks ne has
demonstrated beyond the shadow Oh
a doubt that the mosquito is the cause
of very great many Of the malarlal
fevers and kindred diseases that az
flict the sons of men. He says malaria
is not carried by wind, as in breezy To-
calities this disease is comparatively
unknown; also-which fact will be ad-
mitted by every one-that malarial dis
trlcts are mosquito districts. The
question, therefore, might naturally
arise whether the mosquito is not the
prime cause of the malaria as we'll as
the carrier of it. 1t might be well to
examine the blood of mosquito, and
see If the malarial poison germ is not
found there. OF course, after the In
sect has taken its full Of human gore,
the examination might reveal multi
tudes of malaTial microbes, and this
would prove nothing, except, possibly,
that the person from whom the insect
had fed was full of these same germs.
It is too marked to be altogether a
coincidence, that people who live in
mosquito and malaria infected locali-
ties, and who rarely go out at evening,
and in consequence are rarely Bit
ten by mosquitoes, are not likely to
suffer from malarial conditions. Ger
tain travellers who have been noted for
their carefulness in protecting them
selves from mosquito bites, have de-
clared that they experienced no diff
Guilty whatever from malaria; but these
two facts have but recently been put
together to form basis for theory.
1t would be interesting to know If that
cutting and saw-like lance with which
the mosquito carves its way through
the flesh Of its victim contains in its
sharp teeth malaria parasites, which
need only the slight invitation extend
ed by this state of things to leave their
lodging places and take up their abode
in the quiveFing flesh of the bitten in
dividual. 1t is so frequently the case
that this lance is broken OFF in the
flesh that 1t would be worth while to
investigate and discover, II possible,
whether the violent Inflammation and
fever that follow this act is not to an
extent malarial fever, and whether by
this course of reasoning we may not
arrive at the cause of malaria, and
through this same means discover a
cure.

She IS A CENTURY RIDER
Mrs. A. E. Rinehart Pays a Visit to
the Capital City.
An Attractive Woman Who Has
Done Some Remarkable
Work on the Wheel.

Mrs. a E. Rinehart, the well-known cen
tury rider, arrived in Washington Tuesda Y
night, and is now registered at the Ma
tional Hotel
Mrs. Rinehart is d native of Denver, Col
and has only been a devotee to cycling
for year. In that time she has been made
famous by her remarkable century runs
i'll her native State and in various parts
OF the West.
Last year she rode 116 centuries In
Colorado, covering a distance o. II, 1876
miles. She also made three double cen
turies of 200 miles a day each, which is
an exceedingly remarkable record for a
female rider.
In the great intercontinental relay OF
last year, Mrs. Rinehart rode ill a relay
in Wyoming, and her work at the time
elected much favorable comment. She
holds both the thirty-day and sixty-day
mileage and century records, and has per-
formed the wonderful feat of riding twenty
centuries in as many days
Mrs Rinehart is not a record rider.
She rides for the pleasure it gives her
and the healthful results that follow the
exhiIarating exercise OF long run. Sew
erai years ago she was almost an il
valid. Today sheis healthy and attractive,
ana as she is confident that the wheel has
wrought the great change, she says that
she will continue to ride centuries in the
future.
She arrived in Washington from Phila-
delphia, where she headed the Century
Wheelmen in the great bicycle parade i'll
cidental to the dedication of the Wash
ington Monument She was attired in
white from her cap to her shoes and, with
her divided skirt, received a prize for
making the best appearance in the parade.
This was the first parade in which she
had ever participated
Mrs Rinehart is East on pleasure trip,
and during her soioUrn in the various cities
has been making centuries and studying
the runs The best century run she has
ever experienced was from Philadelphia
to Atlantic City last week She will re-
main in Washington until next week, and
during that time will make several long
runs on her wheel.
II is interesting to note that she rides
nineteen-pound wheel, diamond frame
and geared to seventy-two, and wears
divided skirt invariably when en- tour.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 19.-The third
game of the Washington series resembIed
the previous ones, inasmuch as the Indians
kept fooIiDg around with the Senators
close to them, until the end and then spurt
ed out winners.
If Mercer had received proper support
he would have won his game, but the
flelders went back on him badly. Their
faults were not of the kiud that swell
the error column, although the two errors
were responsible for three runs. The
trouble was that there were players, most
notably Cartwright, who played dreamy
ball and could not get out of the trance
they fell into so easily.
There was no more reason for removing
Mercer in the eighth than there was for
removing Cuppy, but Norton was given

Washingtons runs were made as fol-

Farrell was caught on the plate on Cart

allowed two stolen bases, combined with
