JUBILEE HONORS
Lead to Jealousies and Widespread
Intriguing

Intriguing
NEW YORK, May 24-A Sun cable
from London says
The slump in the jubilee charity funds
still continues. There is widespread in
triguing and jealousies in the struggle
for jubilee honors. There will, 1t is
known, be long list of titles and dec
orations bestowed.
1t is said that Lord Salisbury will re-
ceive a dukedom, and if this be true,
there is little doubt Mr.. Gladstone will
have the privilege of declining the same
title. 1t is well known that the Grand
Old Man" refused an earldom many
years ago. There are some who intimate
that in the weakness of age he would
not have the moral courage to decline
the highest title within the power of his
sovereign to bestow. The point is raised.
however, that no precedent exists for
the raising of commoner to dukedom
without any intermediate steps.

In Virginia, as In Georgia, there Is but
one thing that deprives us OF the Dement'S

it IL the lack of a dog law. Such law
would result in the speedy DETERMINATION

Experts in sheep husbandry, who have

prise that a dog law has not long age

They SEES that great industry. one which

fact that our State lawmakers have not

very rare cases the poor mans dog Is o

1ected TO witness glorious failure. Inc
first trial j had four men up besides my
self, leaving the five empty saddles just
10 see how she worked and to- get part
of the men accustomed TO the machine.
That way we went around the track once
slowly, and found the steering very diff
cult then, for, besides the novelty OF the
machine and my own nervousness, the
slow pace made 1t extra hard. The next
attempt was made with seven up. That
was a success, and the faces Of the doubt
full ones grew about as long as the frame,
and as black, too. From the first l be-
lieved that i could Go the steering all
right. OF course. there was something
unfinished about II. with only seven men
UP. We circled the track at about
three-minute clip. Though II went much
better than with five riders, yet 1t did
not work perfectly. The empty saddles
were against us, so next time I put on
the full force of ten. had six men TO
start us-three on each side. They held
the machine while we mounted, and ran
along with Il for about a hundred YARDS;
by that time we had enough go to keep
our balance, but the men were all ner-
vous, so the pedalling was very uneven
and there was greater sway from side 10
side than was comfortable. Until the
machine moved at about gait or three
strength to turn the front wheel. and l
had to keep wiggling 1t to prevent spill.
The weight resting on the wheels was
800 pounds, but 1t did not seem to make
much difference, II Is the speed that does
the trick. At q slow pace 1t requires great
muscular force TO turn the handle-bar at
all; at fast gait II Is not any harder
than the steering OF a sexeupiet, allow
ing for the greater length of the Jn-seater
and for the weight Of four extra men.
The faster the gait the easier ths steer
ing became. but the stopping-the first
time we tried to stop we rode around
the track four times more than we wanted
10, because We did not dare to stop. Every
one OF the ten men up yelled at his neigh
Dor TO stop pedalling. but nobody did.
At last the six starters caught US on the
fly. and we stepped of without any great
trouble The first trials were the really
dangerous ones. felt the responsibility
very much, and that probably made me
clinch my muscles unnecessarily hard.
You have to keep the front wheel about
two or three yards from the pole on the
turns because the rear wheel Is so much
closer TO the pole. and II you don't watch
. yourself 1t will clip Off the track about
the middle OF the turn. That happened
once at the exhibition OF the 0riten on
the Charles-River track.
The handle-bar Is about Is inches wide.
and they told me 1t made me look as II
| j intended to embrace the starters. Still.
| the single wheels Of five or six years ago
had handle-bars fully as wide. and scms
wider. On tho biograph pictures which
| were taken last week the width OF the
| bar does not look so very big.
We went TO the Providence State Fair
| on the same day OF the first trial. and
maae exhibition runs twice day for a
whole week. / stecred every time and
! got the team In pretty good shape. After
