Not bevel gear, not twisting, .Wrlg-

less friction than bevel gears.
Endorsed by scientific and practical expert

Approved by Elliot Burris, Managing Dr.

the study and manufacture OF cycles in 1865
and who has never allowed the public to
have an impractical mechanical machine.
Adopted by Humber & Company as the

probable successor of the chain.
Does not require 7-inch cranks TO propel
it. As easy as a chain cycle runs.
To this we have only TO add that 81
Humber wheels, of 81 pattern, are not
much more than half price.
We shall not oonfine ourselves to the sale

TO The Editor OF the Trloune.
Sir: As pertinent to your editorial discussion Of

the first OF next month. why not have all letters
for Brooklyn merely addressed to '"Trolleyville n
"? No one could possibly mistake this address
or designation. because Brooklyn to-day is the mos;
trolley-girt town on earth. Although Its principal
business thoroughfares are already 80 "congested"
with trolleys that the can only move at a
snall's pace, Mr. Flynn seemingly desires 10 lay
tracks street surfaces equal TO fifteen or twen
ty additional miles. May Heaven protect the dwell

WANTED CHEAPER HOTELS IN NETWORK

Sir: In connection with the opening OF tho NILS
Building No. !, the question has occurred to me.
Why should not there be hotels in New-York OF u
similar or somewhat higher grade. to which man
could take his wife, at one-half the present cost?
As far as am informed countryman OF modest
circumstances cannot procure lodging IN respect,
a night. While hotels IA New-York are all
"palaiia" prices are palaial also, On the other
hand, good meals can be procured In almost every
section Of the city al reasonable figures. While
was In Europe for several weeks last summer /
found difficulty in procuring lodging for which
never paid more than 30 cents night. In fact l
think the average would be about 40 cents night.
This included accommodations IN great cities liks
London. Paris and Amsterdam, as well as In small
err towns. To be sure. aid no. sleep In marble
halls, pay rent on mosalcs, pate-glass, two or
three rooms with double beds in each velvet car
pets, or purchase the privilege OF burning dozen
electric lights all night. But there comfort
and ceanliness: Why should there not be similar
provision in New-York and other cities in our
country? I believe there is large class OF peo-
pie who 60 TO the city who would be glad to
patronize hotels a little less swell and costy-if
they were sure they would be clean and whole
