suggested to him that that was an nm
usual word to use in such connection. he
replied that he meant just that and ex-
planned that the people wanted a rest
from the petty execution of unwise laws
and the turmoil of the last three years.
rms, then, Is to be the policy of the new
mayor, but what of the man himself?
OF Low and Tracy even those who never
saw them have fair conception of what
they are. But Van Wyck is an entirely
new man, and his personality is unknown.
ana yet he is to occupy one of the great
est offices in the world, and to be one of
the most conspicuous menin the country.
Wen, Judge Van Wycl1 comes of a good
family, is of New York birth, is a grad
uate of the Columbia law school, is
lawyer ana judge of one of the minor
courts of the city. He makes a good APP
pearance, dresses in excellent taste looks
ike gentleman, and those who know him
well say he is gentleman In all that
the term applies. His manners are plain
and unaffected. He appears to equal ad-
vantage in the best and the poorest So
c1ety. He is bachelor and lives in bach
elor's quarters with two or three other
pacheIors in an apartment house up town.
His only income is said to be his salary
as judge, which will be increased to
$4,000 year when he becomes mayor In
view of his arrest at a French ball sew
was made in the campaign, 1t is of in
terest to learn that since then Judge Van
Wyck has been a total abstainer. In this
rule he follows the example of a number
of political leaders of the higher rank. The
judge enjoys hand at cards, but he made
up his mind long ago not to play poker.
He believes that playing for money endan-
gers friendships. AS to the figure he
would cut on public occasions we know
nothing, but l am told that he can ex-
press himself readily in good English
when occasion shall require. Has he got
a backbone? Well, we will learn about
that when he starts in to make his APP
pointments. The disposition is to withhold
adverse criticism of Judge Van Wyck I'M
til he shows that the deserves IL, and
there is general desire that the favorable
account that is given of him by his friends
shall be confirmed by his political course.
Mayor Strong looks for good things from
his successor, and Seth Low has said in a
manful way that the new mayor and his
associates will receive his cooperation In
any effort they may make to administer
the government of the city In the interest
of the people.

LONG RANGE HUNTING RIFLES.
Their Dangers Where sportsmen Are
Many.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
When one comes to discuss rifles, range
and this average distance at which game
is shot, one Is likely to strike contradictory
opinions. A prominent hunter, in speaking
recently of the great effectiveness of the
American rife. said that in his experience,
elk, moose, bears and white-taIled deer
were most generally killed within, range
of It's yards and that this was so because
they were apt to be discovered within this
distance, not because of any lack of car
rying power in the rifle. When this state
ment is contrasted with the prospectus of
the latest rifle, which has first sight of
$50 yards, fiat trajectory and a maxi
mum range of 2200 yards, what is the av-
erage hunter to think?

Many important new features are TO
be found in the "'97" wheel. For cX-
ample, the frame connections and re-
Inducements are placed on the inside
of the tubing, adding greatly 10 the
appearance and strength, and produc-
ing what is commonly called "con-
cealed'' or Flush" joints. OF great
Importance to the easy running quail
ties of the bicycle are the gearing
which in the "97" Remington has
been improved by making the sprock-
cts of cycloidal cut, with the addi-
ton of flange or shoulder to carry
the side plates of the chain, thus dis
tributing the friction and preventing
the vibration which is very noticeable
in a chain running over the ordinary
sprocket.
In the crank-hanger bearings a de-
cided improvement has been made.
The new form of construction being
such that by the removal of one screw
and the left crank, the entire bearing
can be taken out intact, without dis
placing the balls.
Liberal option of tires, saddles and
gears will be given on the new model.

THE QUAKER CITY SHOCKED BY
TWO RESIDENTS.
The Couple Were in Honolulu, But
Have Since Departed for Japan
Were known as Mr.. and Mrs. Morris.

Early in the present month Il middle
aged man and woman arrived in Ho-
nolulu from San Francisco. They in
troduced themselves as Mr.. and Mrs.
Morris had secured Accommodations at
a private boarding house, where they
remained until short time ago, wien
they sailed for Japan. 1t has since
been learned that these people were
no other than the principals of
prominent Philadelphia society elope-
ment. The details of the elopement
are given in the following dispatch
from Philadelphia, brought by the
Coptic
Mrs. c. c. Pinckney Norris has
eloped with Cavalier Smith, and they
are now on their way to Japan. Mrs.
Norris is one of the best known women
in the fashionable set. and is the moth
er of two children, while Mr.. Smith is
equally as well known both in the So
ciety and club world, and is the father
of five children.
Although the elopement occurred
cred until a week later. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Norris informed her
husband at the time of the departure
that she was going to visit friends in
Baltimore. About the same time Mr..
Smith took leave of his family. They
proceeded to New York and thence to
| San Francisco, where they boarded an
outgoing steamer for Japan, via ilo-
nolulu This information has been OBJ
| tanned through exhaustive detective
work and at the expense of larg.
sum of money. Both were well pro-
yided with funds. Mrs. Norris is said
to have at least $4,000 in money anc
Jewels, while Mr.. Smith aiso took
away a large sum. So far rs can bt
learned neither has sent amy Wort
home, and their elopement caused as
much surprise to their families rs t'
their friends and acquaintance. Thel
had been seen in each others com
pany frequently, but this did not g:v'
rise to suspicion, especially since they
live in the same block, the Norris fam
ily at 1900 Walnut street and thu
Smiths at 1927 Walnut street.
Mrs. Norris was formerly Miss Mari;
Gibson, and is a niece of the lat
Henry Gibson. She possesses larg

had certainly succeeded.
ITO BE CONTINUED. ]

A Marquis Gives Charles L. a Poem from
Cover the Poet.
However dull to us are the works of
that grave and ancient English poet,
Cover, the contemporary of Chaucer,
il is certain that his influence extended
far beyond his own time, as he had adj
mirers as late as the reign Of Charles I.
In connection with the curious ''con-
ference on the occasion of the visit
Charles I. made to the marquis of Wor-
cester at Raglan castle, with his court,
an amusing incident is related. The
marquis was a favorite of the king.
for his franl1ness and love Of the arts.
Among his rare curiosities was a
sumptuous copy of Covers volume.
King Charles usually visited the mar
ouis after dinner, and one day found
him with Covers book lying open be-
fore him. The king remarked that he
had never before seen the work.
''Oh, it is book of books!" exclaimed
the marquis, with enthusiasm. eff
your majesty had been well versed in
it, it would have made you a king Of
kings"
"Why so, my lord?'' asked Charles,
curiously.
''Why, here is set down how Aristotle
brought up and instructed Alexander
the Great in all the rudiments and prin-
ciples belonging to a prince" said the
marquis; and thereupon, under the per-
sons of Aristotle and Alexander, the
marquis read the king such a lesson
that all the bystanders were amazed at
his daring. The king asked whether he
had his lesson by heart, or spoke out of
the book.
eff you would read my heart" re-
sponded the marquis, sit may be that
you might find it there; or if your
majesty pleased to get it by heart. I
will lend you my book"
Some of the new-made lords fretted
at certain passages in the marquis dis
course, and protested that no man was
so much for the absolute power of the
king as Aristotle. Upon which the
marquis, turning the pages till he came
to certain passage, read:
A king can kill, king can save:
a king can make a lord knave.
And Of a knave a lord also.
At this point several of the courtiers
skunk out of the room, and the king
said, laughingly: s'My lord, at this rate
you will drive away all my nobility"
This anecdote certainly proves that
after the lapse of two centuries and a
half the words of the old poet had still
vitality enough to afford a pungent
lesson to the courtiers of Charles l.. as
they had to those of Richard L.
Youths Companion.
