THEY ALL WANT HIM.

David Dayton, the ball player, is IA
much sought after man by each of the
three clubs now comprising the men,
bership, of the league. Captain Wilder
of the Stars, has been making every
possible effort to induce Dayton to
sign with that team.
At the same time Captain j. \.
Thompson, of the St. Louis College
Club, is making strong appeals for
Dayton to come into his organization
No matter which team Dayton joins
he win be good addition. He is a
good all around player, but is strong
er behind the bat or on first base.
Some of his friends have advised him
to cast his luck with the college boys
arguing that such will strengthen that
team and thus make the ST. Louis a
stronger competitor for the un-
conquerable Stars.

A Funny Exhibit,
bottom.

One of the funniest things at the re-
cent national cycle show in London was
a patent handle warmer, a perforated
metal article, trumpet shaped and made
to go in the hollow ends of a handle
bar. Heat is generated in the handle by
means of a specially prepared cartridge,
which will give out sufficient heat to
keep the hand warm for three hours,
while a warming pad was also shown
for attaching to the handle bar as kind
of auxiliary apparatus The curious
thing about the contrivance is that no
provision is made for fixing the warmer
in the handle bar. The article is merely
stuck in like cork, and, being tapered,
it threatens to tumble out at the least
jar. The inventor apparently overlooked
the fact that there are now very few
open ended handle bars, SO that the
ready adaptation of his device seems
purely imaginary, and the practicability
of it is very much open to oubt.-Eng-

THE OITEEN'S JUBILEE.

LONDON, March 6.-The forecasts
of the Queens jubilee progress
through London which are appearing
in the press are ventures on probable
tiles. None of them has official sane
ton. Some of them are absurd. The
open-aid solemnity in front of st.
Paul's church is said to be arranged
because of the Queens lameness. She
is to sit in her carriage, so the story
goes, while the mighty congregation
around her and extending far away
through adjoining streets join in
prayer and praise. Some features of
the royal progress can be accurately
foretold. The eight cream-colored
horses, never seen unless at the grand
est ceremonials, will draw the Queens
carriage. The procession from Buck
ingham Palace to st. Paul's will in
clude most of the personages and not
ables of the jubilee procession, but
will be on a vaster scale.

slip sideways on roads made of granite,

way, us the danger of slipping IS great

wheel, and, while it is advisable to
have protection on both wheels, it is
most needed ON the front one. New

ton hasbesh directed 10, the merits of
this new machine, and already it has
attracted the official eye. In Chicago u
number Of tricycles of this description
will be put on trial for postal purposes,
and it is the object of the postoffice to
substitute tricycle. mail carriers for the
system now In vogue. The. trial of the
new compressed air tficycles will be
made over the long stretches Of boule-
wards and sparse1y settled districts on
the outskirts, and if the test proves sue
cessful the machines will be used all
over the city.
The results from the present system,
where horses are employed, are given as
the covering of 33 miles in eight hours.
With the tricycles it is estimated that
the same distance can be covered and
the same amount of work done in four
hours. The compressed air tricycle. is in
appearance much the same as the ordi-
nary carrier tricycles which has be-
come such common object upon the
streets Of nearly all large cities. Under
the handle bars, however, in the new
machine, there is small compressed air
tank, and the lever by which the action
of the air is governed is between the
handles. For the postal service the two
wheels are in front, and between them
is the receptacle for mail matter.
The adoption of horses some little
time since was in the line of obtaining
quicker dispatch of collection and deliv-
cry, as was also the trolley mail car
now in operation in the larger cities,
and the move upon the part of the Chi
cago postal authorities looking to the
superseding of the horse by the COM
pressed air tricycle. is also designed tc
secure still quicker dispatch and at the
same time reduce the operating ex.
penses. If successful in Chicago, the
scheme will be taken up in other cities,
where favorable conditions exist for the
running of the motor tricycles. New
