THE POPULAR VEHICLE.
The Many Names BY Which the bsey.
Gle Is Known to Its votaries.

Here is an amusing linguistic
consultation on the subject of the
denomination of the velocipede. in
different languages: In French it
was called celerifere and velosifere.
Then came the words bicycle, BIZ
cyclette, veloce and at last velo.
The word became, which has also
been given to it, is taken from the
Argot. Its etymoIogy is unknown.
1t signifies simply machine.
In Italian it is called velocifero,
velocipede and bicicletta. The
same in Spanish.
In Germany it is farrad or simply
rad, Just as in English they say
wheel" The Chinese call it
sometimes "gaugma, (which means
"foreign HORSE" and sometimes
"feichai," "Aying machine. !"
They also call it "tzu tzun," car
riage that goes without-horse." But
the palm must be given to the Flem-
Iish. In addition to the appelations
"snelwiel, I" "voetwiel," etc., some
of the wags on the banks of the Es-
cault have baptized this winged con-
traption with the centripede name,

and all seems to be doing well, un-
til about two months before the
election some enterprising men who
who are engaged in the office seek
ing business and get their gain there
by, start the cry, ''Our hen roosts
are being robbed" They say it is
a dreadful thing that our pullets are
disappearing and our fat hens are
going and even our old roosters are
not safe, and if this thing goes on
we shall soon have no fresh eggs,
and next spring we shall have no
early fries, and the price of chickens
will 90 up until the dear poor people
and working men will have no
chickens, and the laborlng men will
not have rooster to crow him out
of bed inthe morning to 60 to work,
and this thing must be stopped to
save the country" So they raise
the shout for "Chickens Chickens
Down with the chicken thieves
Protect our hen roosts" The willy
old spider in tho liquor den sees ir
this his chance to keep attention OF
of the liquor business, and he dis
tributes himself about equally II

lchicken issue, and rush in and shou
themselves hoarse, and pay out thel

We wake up and make up,
We rake up and fake up,
And use the word ''up" when we can
We drink up and think up,
We kink up and shrink up,
And do up shirt or man.
We slack up and back up,
We stack up and whack up,
And hold up man or an ace;
We beer up and cheer up,
We steer up and clear up,
And work up ourselves or case.
We walk up and talk up,
We stalk up and chalk up,
And everywhere ''up" g to be heard;
We get up and set up,

CONGRESSMAN LOUD made the re-
markable statement, in his recent
report on rates of postage to the
House of Representatives, that a
long-suffering people are taxed from
$50, ,000, 900 to $40, 100000 a year
more than it costs to transmit by
mail their letters, newspapers and
packages, solely that a few thous
land persons may be INDUCED in the
luxury of printing newspapers. MIR.
Loud wonders why go, 1000, 900 peo-
pie have remained silent so long
about a matter, the mere contem-
lplation of which makes him hot.
AS an ascertained fact, the actual
deficit in the postal revenues aver
ages about $7,OoO,000 year (not
thirty or forty millions). If co.
loco, 900 people pay that much more
THAN they ought to for the carriage
lof their letters, newspapers and
packages, and have remained op'
Ipressively silent about it all these
wears, it is because, in the first
|place, there is, under present rates
an immense saving to them in thu
lcost of postage on their letters; and
secondly, because reduced rates o
newspaper postage are one OF TIT
important factors in saving to th'
people, in reduced subscription pric
!, of their newspapers, more than tn
,l$3O, ,OOO, 900 or $40, 100000 a yea
(which Mr.. Loud talks about. Hoy
large a part Of the annual deficit il
|due to the franking privilege Mr.
!, Loud probably knows. If there
to be equity, if there are to be n
special privileges, why not cut Of
the dead head postage list? Tn

Fire Depnrtmcnt Display.

Chief Templeton marShaled the entire nre
department last night in front of the city
building Just before the council met He
brought out all of the apparatus with the
exception OF the big platform track. The
equipment was sufficient to fill the street
in front of the city building and attracted
a great crowd Of curious people. The object
was TO show the new hook and ladder truck
that has just been completed and put into
service. The chief also took advantage Of
the occasion to emphasize some of the wants
OF the department that had been recon-
mended by the fire committee in the council.
Among them were some slight repairs on a
couple Of hose carts. The chief showed up
the new ladder wagon in fine style, and eN-
planned to the aldermen that its cost was
money well spent. Such a truck, he as
serted, bought in the regular way from fac
tories where such things are msde would
cost at least sl,500, but owing to the fact
that all OF the work had been done in Coun-
ell Bluffs and a great deal of it by the
members Of the department themselves the
total cost of the truck was only $500. It
carries a complement Of nine ladders OF al
lengths. The shortest one is an eight-foot
extension, designed especially by Chief Tenn
pleton to supply an oft-recurring necessity.
The ladder is a light affair that can be
carried by a fireman under his arm when he
first enters a building, where there is a fire.
Heretofore, when it has been necessary TO
go into garret or through a scuttle hole
where there were no stairs, the members
have been obliged 10 use each other for a
ladder, one man climbing upon the shoulders
OF another. With the aid of the extension
ladder a sixteen foot ceiling can be reached
1t is the intention of the chief, il he gets
the approval of the council to equip all OF
the hose carts and chemicals with these
short and handy ladders. Another object OF
Templeton's little display wac to permit all
OF the members OF the council to see the
necessity for adding a hrty-foot extension
ladder 10 the new truck. The ladder is OF
new pattern, that can be handled by two
men, and can be used in confined localities
where the big ninety-foot platform truck
ladder could not be made available. TIE
members OF the council examined the new
( truck with a good deal OF interest, and lis
tened to the suggestions OF the chief with
a good deal of attention.

Irish Members Array Themselves
Against the Government.
Copyright 1897. by Press publishing Company
LONDON, June 2i.-tNew York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram) The proceed
ings iu the House OF Commons tonight on the
Irish protests against the address congratu-
latory to the queen were OF very heated
character There was a very large attend
ance. both on the ministerial and the liberal
benches. The Irish nationalists had come
over from ireland In unexpected strength for
the occasion. and the thrty-eight followers Of
Dillon voted with him against the address.
Healy and his section were conspicuous by
their abserce. while seven out OF eleven
Parnellites were present. Dillon spoke with
great vehemence on denouncug the admins
tration OF ireland during the queens reign,
and he was frequently interrupted by indig-
nant cries and eXClamations from the tories
but he grew more fierce as the tories jeered
and 4 concerted movement on the part OF
large body of them to put him out by leav-
Ing the house entirely failed OF its object.
Dillon declared that he would vote for no
amendment 10 the address and would only
vote against 1t absolutely. At this the Irish
members cheered him frantically.
Redmond, following, attacked him for this,
and was only cheered by the tories in the
hope of bringing the affair into an lreh
suuabble Redmond's speech was muci
milder than Dillons, and he expressed per
sonal regret at striking iarrlng note OF
an occasion of the kind. For Redmond
amendment only seven Irish members voted
| Dillons followers sbstained from voting, bu
! Dillon himself voted in the negative, as die
| forty-three other Irish members.
The action of the Irish members is bit
| terly resented by Englishmen and II Il
said at the House of Commons tonight tha
If any of the Irish members are seen in tn
| streets tomorrow their lives will not b
