JUVENILE RIDERS.
Are Receiving More Consideration
From the Cycle Makers.

1t is a noticeable feature OF this sea-
son in the bicycle trade that the max
ers have devoted more attention to the
designing OF bicycles for Juveniles. In
the earlier day OF the business the
Youngsters were not considered by the
makers of high grade bicycles and the
little ones had consequently to content
themselves with poorly built and hard
running small bicycles, or else stretch
themselves on the more attractive BIZ
cycles of their elders. The practice OF
children riding BICYCLES several sizes TOO
large for them Is not to be recommend
ed, and has no doubt resulted In con-
siderable harm in many Instances
Within the last tw" wears some OF the
makers have soreseen the demand for
juvenile bicycles, and have more ade-
quately considered their needs. This
year the supply OF Juvenile bicycles Is
almost as varied as that OF the larger
wheels The smallest OF them are Mt
ted with good ball bearings and pneu-
matte tires and are In every way suited
for pleasant riding by the young.
There Is also a number OF Juvenile tan
dems on the market fitted up with all
the accuracy OF detail that character
ICES the larger double mounts. The
dealers report a steadily increasing de-
mand for the Juvenile wheels. and the
makers who foresaw the demand are
reaping their harvest Life.

" Uuld very much hasten the develop

Whatever may be the real scientific
value Of Prof. Barnard's experiments
he has, according to al the accounts,
demonstrated his ability to control his
machine to marked degree in calm
weather and even in gentle breeze.
OF his machine Prof. Barnard says that
while he does not believe it could DC
controlled in a thunder storm. or even
in a twenty or twenty-five-mile wind,
he believes that it can be managed in
aerial voyages under ordinary condi-
tons. The inventor is physical in
structor at the Y. NJ. c. A. in Nash
vile. He states that the present ship

ton have served to increase that pub
lie interest in the subject Of aero
nautics which Prof. Langley says Will
much hasten the development of
practical air ship. With regard to the
Importance of Prof. Barnard's achieve
ments, however, Prof. Langley is not
enthusiastic, holding as he does that
the successful flying machine will be
much heavier than the atmosphere,
while that of Prof. Barnard includes u
balloon as an essential feature of its
makeup. Prof Langley states that
at present he has nothing farther to
make public with regard to his eXper-
iments but adds: Regarding the
feasibility of aerial navigation for
passenger transportation and CONNER
cial purposes, there can be no question.

and, in my opinion. 1t will be only
matter of short time, possibly few
years, before air ships will be in com
mon use for purposes OF reconnoiter-
ing in war and for individual transpor-
tation generally Larger air ships
will ultimately be constructed, on ra-
tional models and with the strength OF
materials and motive power properly

Another event of interest in the
! field of aeronautics will be the trial Of
| tho machine invented by John s.
! Praul. a model OF which has been
built for the inventor by the Baldwin
locomotive works. A test made with
the model is said to have shown u
lifting power of twice its own weight.
This machine, unlike that of Prof,
Barnard. does not use aeroplanes, the
only approach to planes being two
wide vanes attached to either side for
steering The machine is an exact
cylinder to within very short dis
lance OF its ends, where 1t tapers to
blunt points.
Paul will use hot air and liquid
fuel, though the machine shop test
vas made on the pipes used in testing
loo motives His largest machine will
be built in a few months. 1t will be of
rickel steel and aluminum-cylinder
wings, vanes ard all. The cylinder
will he fifteen feet from tip to tip and
three feet in diameter. The wings,
two at each end, will be fourteen feet
long and four feet wide, tapering at
the ends like a birds. The lower
framework under the cylinder, in
which the engineer and pilot will work,
will give the machine a total height
from working platform to top of cyln-
der of eight feet The engines one in
each end Of the cylinder, each operat-
ing one pair Of wings, will have about
100 horse power and will give the
wings about 400 turns a minute With
nickel. steel and aluminium. Praul de-
clarcs, the machine will have total
weight Cf rot more than ten pounds to
the horse power.
Though Maxim and Langley both
succeeded in holding in air 40 pounds
per horse power in laboratory tests
ana sixty or seventy pounds in actual
practice. Praul has built his model and
will build his flyer on basis Of only
thirty pounds per horse power. and
this, with 1000 pounds allowance for
the machine itself. will let him carry
2 .0O0 pounds extra weight.

chine give a forward motion and

The testimony of witnesses bearing upon
the above statements is referred to, names
and pages being quoted.
Your committee is somewhat embar-
raised as to its course in regard to certain
testimony concerning the fire commission
ers. 1t appears that Mr.. Maguires drunk
enness was brought to the attention of Mr..
Parish, and it appears that Mr.. Grayson
has allowed political considerations to
control him in the administration of his
office. 1t further appears that he stopped
a fireman who was on his way to a fire
and compelled him to go with the COM
missioner to a hall where negroes were
herded for political purposes. 1t also APP
pears that Mr.. Nell was susceptible to po-
htical influences in the administration Of
his office. We are constrained to believe
that the commissioners are not unadvised
OF Mr.. Maguire's untitness; that ne was
elected for political reasons and is retain
ed because of the same influences.
Under these circumstances your COM
mittee recommend to your honorable body
that you demand that Mr.. John f. Ma
guire be cashiered as inexperienced unfit
and incompetent; and if, after a reason

when Told the Captain of the ship
would Not Take Him TO His Native
Land.
The captain of the ship that was 20
have taken Jacob Franck, the lunatlc,
back to his home country, seems to have
reckoned without his hosts in expressing
a willingness to have the mailman aboard
his vessel.
His crew. consisting of about forty sail
ors, raised a row over the proposition of
having a lunatic aboard, and the captain
had to consult their wishes in the matter.
In this way Franck was refused pas
sage.
None of the officers of the vessels that
have been in port here from Germany
have shown any willingness to take the
unfortunate man.
When told yesterday that the sailors OBJ
jected to his going aboard their ship,
FranclS broke down and cried like child.
He is crazy on the subject of religion, and
IL is believed that If he could be taken
on the waters again the revival Of his
former associations as a sailor would ben
eft him.
The ladies who have been at work to
have the man cent back to Germany have
not given up their undertaking yet. They
have secured a sum of money from the
county sufficient to send the man over on
a sailing vessel but since they are un-
able to get passage for him this way they
have decided 10 have him sent from New
York on a regular ocean liner. IN order
20 do this they will have to raise more
money. They will make an appeal TO the
German people In Savannah and others
as well, who may feel disposed to aid In
so worthy a cause, and 1t is believed that
the money will soon be raised.
Fellow countrymen of the unfortunate
sailor who live In Savannah, have already
been very liberal IN contributing to the
fund that kept Franck at a private asy-
lum for several months.

BLACK PATTI ON THE BOARDS.
The Ambitious. sOngstress Sang TO
Both white and Black.


An audience Of several hundred people,
white and colored, heard 1.-The original

night.
There were other troubadours on the
bills, who filled their places as satellites
to the center attraction. There were plano
recitals. dramatic recitations, soprano so
los by colored artists selected from the
circles Of home talent.
Black Patti appeared but twice on the
programme. Her first number was "Hu-
guenots." by Mayerbeer, and she rendered
this 70 the satisfaction Of the audience,
II applause Is to be taken as the measure.
In response TO the encore she sang
catchy little ballad-'In May" This was
rendered better perhaps. than anything
she sang during the evening.
"L'Incantatrice," by Arditt. was the
second number for which she was regu-
larry on the programme. She received an
other encore after singing this. The gem
eral expression OF the audience was that
the songs were very well rendered by the
wouid-be rival for the honors OF PATTI,
the divine"
Black Patti seemed none the less out Of
tune because OF the row she had In At
lanta by refusing TO sing way Down
Upon De Swanee Ribber." Her refusal
TO sing this song by request brought on
serious trouble and the curtain went down
long before " was due, according 20 re-
