been in Judge Van Wyck's fix wsre shown up in the newspapers their names would fill many columns.
 But the publication of the story was just like Dana. No other journalist who makes any pfetense of responsibility would have been the first to print t. Of course, th.s piece Of petty meanness will help Van wyclx. It will make him thousands of votes. Every geod citizen in New York is painfully conscious of little incidents in his past lffe, innocent enough In themselves, which he would not Ike to see printed in a newspaper under flaming headlines. and he will feel like making Van Wycks cars his own.
 It does not pay either in business or in politics to hit a man below the belt or stab him in the back. American peo- pie love fair play and there are very fsw democrats in New York who will feel disposed to throw Tammany's candi- date overheard because he once went to the French ball and drank some cham pagne.
 The voters in the metropolis are men of ths would, and if the other candidates want to win popularity they will find it to their advantage to let it be known that in their day they were in the habit of running with the boys.

Mayor Harrison on Franchises.

From the Chicago Record.
 Mayor Carter H. Harrison writes over his own signature:
 'sThe streets and highways of a mu- alicipaiit,y belong to the people but when a franchise is granted for their use a partnership is entered into which should provide an adequa te return to the people for their contribution to the joint encouragement. What that return should De yarieswnh each individual case This is safe proposition, however, that the compensation given the people should be sufficiently large to prohibit more than a reasonable return to the corpora tion in the shape of interest on the money actually invested and a safe in- surance against tf15 hazard incurred"
 That is the right position exactly. Mayor Harrison will find the people of Chicago behind him when he undertakes ito handle the franchise question on that basis.

The Nsw York Sun brings to light the fact that Tammanys candidate for mayor Judge Van Wyck, was arrested sn January, 1890. for being drunk and disorderly." The whole story is that Judge Van Wyck went to the French ball and was in a "convivial' state when arrested. The police magistrate dis charged him the next morning.
 The French ball in New York is more stupid than naughty, but every society man in that city wants to see it at least once. and he can hardly avoid taking his out of town friends to it occasion ally. If all the New Workers who have

Spectacles When Riding.

The Belfast Cycling Journal strongly
recommends the wearing of glasses
while riding. Dust, flies and other lit
tie things generally cause considerable
inconvenience to the cyclist. If the
wind is at all fresh it also brings on an
uncomfortable sensation to the eyes.
Glasses of the spectacle type will do
away with all this annoyance. The
glasses, however, should not be of the
magnifying description, simply window
glass or something of that sort. They
are inexpensive and cause no evil effects
to the sight.

of the spokes in such way that it
emitted clear tone, and on little in

spokes that furnished as many notes of

VIII Measure Friction.

One of the latest inventions in the BIZ
cycle line is the dynagraph. The object
of this continuance is to measure the
amount of friction in bicycle bearing.
If the bearings in a bicycle work as they
should, the riding should be fast, easy
and comfortable. On the other hand, if
they do not, the effect is just the oppo-
site. The continuance, which was ex.
hibited at the cycle shows the early
part of the year, met with much favor

A Modest Rider who Prevented What
Might Have Been n Serious Accident.
On a pleasant afternoon recently,
when the boulevard was filled with BIZ
cycle riders team of big gray horses
hitched to heavy platform truck which
had been standing at the corner of One
Hundredth street with no driver in
sight decided to run away. They started
slowly down the boulevard, and when
they discovered that no one was holding
the reins they quickened their pace un-
til they were running at full speed.
When they started some one shouted a
warning to the bicycle riders. Several
women who were in front of the horses
succeeded in turning up a side street
before they were overtaken, and the
riders who were several blocks ahead
bent over their handle bars and scorched
for safety.
As the horses went tearing down the
boulevard in an irregular course the
heavy truck behind them swayed first
to one side and then to the other. The
shouts of warning to the bicycle riders
from people on the sidewalk excited the

riders kept along behind the runaway
team until Ninety-fifth street was
reached, when suddenly man who
wore gray sweater forced his wheel
ahead of the following riders, then
alongside Of the frightened horses and,
waiting his opportunity, grabbed the
horse nearest him by the reins, and in
less than half block he had brought
the horses to standstill, In the crowd
that surrounded the captured team the
man who had stopped them was lost.
When some one inquired for him, it
was found that he had ridden away as
if such feats were not important enough
to interrupt his ride. New York Sun.

men were landed to observe the
tides. The steamer then proceeded to
the northward and found and made an
accurate survey of the Kingman reef,
which was found to be 80 miles due

soundings have been made along the
route of the proposed cable line. The
average depth has been found to be
about 27OO fathoms. On leaving here
