Under Ono Umbrella.

On quiet thoroughfare off St.
Charles there might have been seen dur
ing the heavy rain the other afternoon
a shaggy Newfoundland dog carrying
a spread umbrella in his mouth, his drip
ping tail sticking out from under and
wagging complacently. Investigation
revealed the fact that there was little
girl under the umbrella with the dog, her
tiny arm thrown around his neck, and
the two tripping along most amicably.

THE FLYING BICYCLE.
Aerial Wheel VIII Never he Realised,
Says Maxim.

Says Maxim.
Suggestions of a flying bicycle have
been numerous IN recent years, but
Hiram Maxim, of Maxim gun fame,
gives cold encouragement to the am
bilious wheeler who would rise with
the lark and while away his leisure in
midair.
IT. SyiU never be possible for man to
dri 9ho flying machine with his feet,
M. Maxim told an interviewer the
other day, because the power a man can
develop in this way is so small, in COM
parisoD with the weight of the machine,
added TO his own weight.
Though a man may work up to one
horse power for a few seconds, Mr..
Maxim explains, in order to fy he would
have to work up 10 and maintain two
or three horse power, and his machine,
moreover, must be OF practically no
weight at all. a man would require
two or three horse power to lift his own
weight. and a machine OF any weight
would require increased power in pro-
portion.
On the whole, this assurance of Mr.
Maxim's will probably be received with
consolation rather chan disappoint-
ment, to cycledom.

AN IMpoRTANT ExpLANATIoN.

Our contemporary, the New York
Medical Record, after review of the
English statistics, concludes that lu-
macy is really increasing. 1t is not in
creasing at the rate which the figures
on their face might be thought to indi-
cate. Thus the number of lunatics in
hospitals increased in England be-
tween 1862 and 1895 from 2.O2 per TO-
600 inhabitants, to 3.15; in Scotland
they increased from 2.01 per 10000 in
habitants to 3.39. Similar figures have
been collected for Germany, France and
other continental countries. The more
backward the country in education, in
industrial standing and in social COM
plexity, the fewer the lunatics. To put
it the other way. an increase in lunacy
would appear to be a part Of the price
which a people pays for civilization
The figures for suicide and lunacy in
crease on roughly parallel lines.
But this increase is by no means SC
great as the hospital returns would
seem to intimate. In the modern hos
pitals the chronic insane are continu
ally accumulating. Under the moderI
system the rate Of mortality is dimin
ished In earlier days it was unknown
that insanity is a disease or symptom
of disease, that is capable Of cure, an
this ignorance to a certain extent pre-
walls in the backward countries to-day
Now that asylums are recognized a
hospitals instead of prisons, they con
tain inmates who formerly were nc
counted as lunatics. One other Obsel
walton is worthy of attention. The il
crease in lunatics in England is mainl
in the pauper class. This is probabl
due in part to a recognition on the pa
of that class of the benefits Of bein
in hospital At the same time the sil
lister suggestion will obtrude itself th
that class may now embrace an il
creased number of recruits from Il
GLASSES that are unable to support Il
trials of destitution.

HALIFAX FORT STRENGTHENED.
British Military Authorities Making
Importnnt Chnnren There

british Military Authorities Making
Important Changes There.
In quiet way the British military
authorities are strengthening the sta
ton at Halifax. MS. The imperial
troops in the garrison there are to be in
creased by the addition of 600 royal ar
tillerymen, making the total 1000. It
is probable that the Royal Berkshire
regiment will be sent direct to England
from Halifax instead of to Bermuda as
intended.
Plans have been made for a new quicl;
firing battery to be constructed 1T Point
Pleasant by the imperial authorities.
Out of the sum voted by the imperial
government for Halifax an amount will
be taken to erect a commodious stable,
as it is the intention of the military
authorities to place here two or more
batteries of royal horse artillery. The
horses will be purchased at Halifax. but
the guns and all equipments will be sent
from England. 1t is also stated that
next summer quick-firing battery will
be constructed on Georges island The
guns will be of the very latest pattern.
Another powerful search light in addi-
ton 20 the one proposed for Sleepy cove
is to be erected in prominent position
near the entrance to the harbor.

TO LICENSE RECKLESS DRIVING.

TO LICENSE RECKLESS DRIVING.
Give certain kind of person rope
enough and he can be trusted to hang
himself. The walking delegates who
are organizing a mass meeting to de-
fend the right of Metropolitan union
truck drivers to run down bicyclers and
pedestrians, without being arrested or
reproved for it. continue to show that
they are just the sort of people that
walking delegates have been for some
years. AS most people know, the inso-
lence and brutality OF the average
truckman in New York has been well
nigh unbearable, and many people have
come to death or lifelong injury
through their recklessness or deliberate
malice It Is no uncommon thing to
have a driver pace slowly along until
some man or woman attempts to cross
the street in front of him, when he will
hit his horse with a whip, apparently
for the purpose OF seeing the pedes-
trian Jump. IL gives him a sense of su-
perior power and he enjoys it. AS to his
proficiency in bad language his habit
OF going about in a state of intoxica-
tion too far advanced to make him
safe either on truck or anywhere else
except in police station-those things
are too familiar to require more than
reference.
Some other drivers preserve their
hate for the bicycle, but they realize
that It is here to stay, so they have
wisely abandoned their efforts to crush
il and run II into cutters and curb
stones; but the truck man is the Bour-
bon of his species, and he has not yet
been made to understand that people
on wheels have rights-nOt necessarily
as wheelmen, but as human beings
that drivers are requested to respect.
There never was more fatuous exhi-
bition than the one the walking dele
gates propose to make in defence of the
men who have been scantily punished
for their murderous performances on
the highways.

Gen. Neal Dow La Dead.

Gen. Neal Dow, the famous temper
ance leader of America, died at his
home at Portland, Me-, at the age of
90 years Neal Dow was the author
of the Maine prohibition law, which
was the first enactment of the kind
ever placed on the statute book of any
state or nation. He recruited a regi-
ment at the outbreak of the war, and
was in the Mississippi campaign with
Gen. Butler when the latter ran the
forts and took New Orleans. He was
commissioned general by President
Lincoln, but was soon afterward cap
tured and sent to Libby prison. Since
the war Gen. Dow had been almost
constantly engaged in temperance
work, and in 1883 was nominated for
the presidency by the Prohibitionists

Double Murder at Detroit.

After deserving his wife and nine
small children for three months and
refusing to con tribute to their support,
Frank Fadeilin, of 1345 Medbury
avenue, Detroit, returned to the house
about p. IN. and demanded admit
lance. The wife refused to let him in
on the advice of her brother Jos. Auer,
who was in the house. The family
thought he had gone away when sud
denly four pistol shots rang out and
one the windows was Smashed by bull
lets which struck Mrs. Fadellin and
the oldest son Frank, aged II. The
boy sank to the floor dead and the wo-
man, who was only slightly injured in
the shoulder, ran to the front door and
called for help. A moment later steps
were heard on the veranda and think
ing the murderer was coming to kill
the rest of the family Jos. Auer and
Jos. Fadellin, aged 10, each grabbed a
shotgun from a corner and fred point
blank at a man on the porch. With a
cry he fell to the ground and died and
it was then seen that it was not Fadel-
lin, but Jos. Stadelmanp, contractor,
who lived nearby and who had run to
the rescue when he heard the calls for
help. He had arrived just in time to
be mistaken for the murderer. He was
shot directly through the heart. Fad
ellin had disappeared in the darkness
by the time the police had arrived.
Later.-Frank Fadellin was arrested
the next evening as he was about to
enter the home of his sister, Mrs Peter
Mandernach, $50 Erskine street AT
the police station Fadellin readily ad-
mitted having shot into the home OF
his family, but he stoutly maintained
that he did not know he had killed his
son or injured his wife. Not the slight
est regret did Fadellin express for his
crime. He said jealousy of his wife
was the cause of the shooting, and that
he wanted to kill Auer.
