New York clergymen are beginning
the annual discussion of that old ques-
ton of the connection between bicy-
cles and sin. A few discern it very
plainly, though they fail to make it
plain to others. They should be classed
with such cranlks as Charlotte Smith
who sees nothing but sin in bicycling.
It is really strange that so many good
men, men who are truly and deeply
anxious for the welfare of their fellow
men, see so much evil in things that
are in no sense harmful. Analyzed.
many of their objections seem to be
to the fact that people get pleasure and
enjoyment out of innocent recreations.
To SUCH to smile seems sinful, while a
peal of merry laughter is direct af-
front to high heaven. No doubt it is
natural for such people to regard q BIZ
cycle as a positive evil, against which
both young and old should be warned
yet there is no more evil or harm in Il
wheel than in buggy. a street car, or
a railroad car. And all that can be
said to those who see evil in them is:
Shame TO those who think evil of it.

The Kansas City Star says that the
incident to which Governor Adams of
Colorado refers in his message to the
legislature vetoing a bill to regulate the
manufacture and sale of oleomargarine
may indicate a genuine case of con-
spiracy to brihe, or it may have been
only the trick of a shrewd and venal
Denver LAWYER TO inveigle men into
contributing to his private purse. But
in any event." continues the Star. lit
may be assumed with considerable con-
fidence that all this sumptuary legis-
lation is evil in itself or is brought for
ward for an Interior purpose There is
no more reason in legislating for or
against oleomargarine than there is for
enacting laws for or against any other
wholesome, cheap and nutritious food.
People who want COW butter can get
it-bad as it is sometimes-if they pay
the price. and those who want manu-
featured butter have the right to buy
it without legal restraints or regula-
tions. Whenever there is a proposition
brought forward in any legislature to
pass such bills as the Colorado law
against oleomargarine it is morally GER
tain that somebody is going to get
'pinched, ard to refuse to countenance
such interference would be a safe rule
for honest and conscientious legislators
to adopt"
The anti-oleomargarine legislation
started with congress and received the
sanctified approval of that psuedo
Democrat. Grover Cleveland. So very
anxious for the health of the people
was he that he approved a bill that i'm
posed a practically prohibitive tax upon
1t was a piece of pure
like so much of Mr.. Cleve-
lands craftsmanship. People have just
as much right TO buy oleomargarine to
eat without paying any special tax upon
it as farmers have to sell butter without
a special tax upon it. There is alto
gether TOO much class legislation in
the country, some to coddle the voting
power. some to coddle the money power. !

A recent visitor to the island, describ.
ing the habits OF the men and their
unspeakable Incidence, says this of the
towns resorts and their habitues:
"The men luxuriate IN the cafes or
spend their evenings in worse places.

smoking and luxurious ease. Evidences
Of safety, languor and dullness, the

There is most comfortable place to

OF Havana spend their time ON their
housetops. Thoy dry clothes there,

At tho hotels, as at many private
houses, two meals day are served
breakfast in the late morning, and
dinner in the evening. Coffee can be
had shortly after rising. Vino is
freely drank. Candles serve as illumin-
alton when you retire.
Even in times of peace civilians are
scarce in Havana. Soldiers stand at
every corner--they are the police.

In point OF fact the price was consid.
cred so outrageous, even for game
cock, that the story of the sale when
it first began to circulate found few
believers. But it was genuine sale.
The money was paid and the chicken
taken.
II was at the Birmingham poultry
show few weeks ago that this re-
markable transaction took place. The
gamecock in question, fine black
red, is said to be one OF the most per-
feet OF its kind in existence. II has a
wonderful reach, Is almost perfect in
shape and size, while its fine tail is one
OF its best po,ats. 1t has fue ances-
trail record of prizes and triumphs, and
is heavy winner itself. The owner OF
the bird was Mr.. Hugh Ainscough,
and the purchaser was Captain Hea.
ton, agent of the Earl of Ellesmere.

bizzare effect, but soon learns to np.

fleet could be held ont of the bay. The
castle is re enforced by the long range
OF cannon and barracks on the city
side, and the massive fortress OF the
Cubanos crowning the hill behind the
Moro. All these are decorated with
the red and yellow flag of Spain. Sc
many strong Notifications show how
important the home government re-
CARDS the place.
The harbor Of Havana compares
favorably with the most famous in the
world. Infinitely more picturesque
than New York Bay, it is much live
lier in maritip.e interest than that OF
the Golden Gate. The bay is shaped
like human hand outstretched, With
the wrist as the entrance. 1t is popu-
lous with ships from almost every Ma.
tion on earth. The one idea it inn
presses is that of activity. European
and American mail steamers come and
go daily. Coasting steamers and the
boats of the regular lines from Mex
leo and the islands of the Caribbean
seek the bay, and great ferries ply be-
tween the docks of the city and the
Relga shores. There is also fleet of
sailing boats, yachts gathered from all
over the world, row boats, and what
not in the seaway.
The city itself is pleasing or irrita-
ting to the newcomer according to the
spirit that may possess him at the time
of his arrival. But all travellers agree
on one point-they universally declare
il TO be one OF the noisiest, liveliest,
pell nell, happy-go.lucky, wide awake,
clamorous, dangerous towns in exist
ence. The great humboldt said of it
as he entered it from the bay that it
was the gsyest and most picturesque
sight in all America.
1t is certainly not American, and
yet there is nothing like it in Europe.
1t is intensely Cuban, and n type of
itself. In general view the town

structures that force themselves into
prominence against the background of

beauty would be entirely subordina-
ted by colossal prison near the shore,
which was built for the purpose OF
having capacity to lodge with ease a
matter OF 5000 prisoners at time.
The city is divided into two parts,
called ths intramural, or old town,
which lies between the bay and the
site OF the-ancient walls which have
fallen into decay and have been used
for an upbuilding OF the new city, and
the extramural town, consisting OF the
new city, which lies beyond the site
OF the old walls and is more or less
modern in its architecture. Tho
streets of the old town are laid out in
fairly regular order, and are pretty
we'll paved. But these thoroughbred
are narrow in the extreme, with side
walks barely wide enough for one
pedestrian. The streets of the new
city. although laid only in macadam
are wider, airier and fringed on either
side with pretty palm trees, giving the
town a garden-like aspect.

PARKS, squares and public places. The
squares are ornamented with royal
palms, and here and there an orange
and banana tree, and now and then an
Indian laurel. Ths Plaza lie Armas,
fronting the Governors palace, and
tho Parque de Isabella are two splon-
did spe cimens of Cuban appreciation
of tho richness and fertility OF the
soil and the rare climate. The Parque
dc Isabella is picture OF gay life In
the evening, and is one OF the beauty
spots of Havana.
The cafes are innumeral,le and some
Of them the equal OF the best and most
exclusive restaurants in Europe or
America. The principal playhouse is
the Tacon Theatre. Other places of
amusement are Payret Theatre, the
Albisu Theatre and the Circo, Teatro
de Jane. The Casino is place OF
amusement and instruction combined,
q sort OF atheneum, in which such art
as lives in Havana is fostered and in
which state balls occur.
The glory OF the new city lies in its
splendid streets and the well ordered
vegetation that has been cultivated
along their lines. The churches are
without number and are enthusiastic-
ally filed on Sundays and holidays.
On these occasions unusual demonstra'
tions are INDUCED in in the way OF
bell ringing.
