STOLEN WHEELS.
Possible CIew to the Wholesale Thefts
Committed Recently.

1t looks as if there Will be a cessa-
ton of bicycle stealing for a while to
come, though that industry has been
pushed along quite lively for some
months past It is estimated that about
a dozen wheels have been stolen in
that time
Last night Police Captain Fisher and
Officer Naghel made a catch that will
cause owners of wheels to breathe
easier. They arrested two youths who
had a sort Of private cyclery in the
basement of 1906 Ninth street. and
there the officers found two wheels that

their original appearance to something
quite different.
Among those whose wheels had been
stolen lately from Lawyer Newman In
looking up this case Captain Fisher
found that a youth named Frank Blair,
who had been employed in some ca
pacity by Newman, disappeared at
about the time the bicycle was missed.
Following up this clew Fisher learned
that Blair had a brother, and yester-
day he and Naghel visited the place
where they lived. and discovered their
work shop and the two bicycles re-
ferred to, which had been stripped Of
their original coats of enamel and were
just being painted anew, one red and
the other black.
The next thing was to find the young
men. Last night Captain Fisher en-
countered them just as they were ieav-

ran away He headed right for the
work shop, not knowing that Officer
Naghel was on watch there. The latter
saw him enter the basement and hur-
riedly throw the wheels into a corner
and cover them with old rags.
Naghel swooped down on him and
placed him under arrest, and about
that time Captain Fisher dropped in

The President yesterday sent a brief
message to Congress asking for an ap-
preparation to send food and supplies to
Americans in Cuba who are suffering
because of the stress of war-the Presi-
dent does not use the word war, we sup
pose because there is a red tape question
as to whether there is war in Cuba
and he asks that a ship be sent also to
remove such Americans as desire to re-
turn to this continent. That is all well,
but it would have been still better to
have informed Congress whether it is
true, as is alleged, that numbers of
Americans are imprisoned in Cuba by
Spanish authority without sufficient
warrant.

The New York Legislature has
passed a law that makes it INSIDE
meanor for anyone to drive a team or
vehicle other than a bicycle, on paths
constructed exclusively for Wheelmen."
Very properly too. Why should any
one wish to use a wheel path for horse
vehicles? But New York was not first
in the matter. Sacramento County had
an ordinance to that effect nearly year
ago, and now the State has approved by
legislation such enactments, and author
lied Boards Of Supervisors to pass and

now it will be simply the result OF
conquest against which the Powers set
themselves at the very outset of the
war, declaring that the map of Europe
should not be remade, no matter who
triumphed in the conflict. 1t remains
to be seen if they will stand true to
that declaration.
1t is somewhat surprising, since Tur-
key asserts a right to Thessaly that she
does not date it back to the time when,
after the Venetians held it by conquest
for a century, the Moslem conquered it,
about 1855, instead of laying her claim
upon so recent an abandonment as that
of 1881.

She Would be Consul.

Mrs Chaplin Weed of Muscatine'
L., the first woman 10 apply for the
position of United States consul.
This progressive woman is desir-
GUS to represent Uncle Sam as
his consul in Germany, aud she
has as good backing as any man
who was ever sent abroad by the
government at Washington.
Senator Allison is repre- senting
her and her petition to President
Mckinley. The document is signed
by all the: big Republican politici-
ans of Iowa, including Governor
Drake, the judges of the supreme
court and several congressman
1t is also signed by Horace Boies
and George M. Pullman.
Mrs. Weed and her frieads
contend that she is amply qualified
to fill the position she seeks. She
has splendid education, and in
addition to her broad culture, sne
is a practical business woman
having an intimate acquaintance
with commercial matters. She is
the widow of Chester Weed, who
was a prominent mercantile man
in Iowa, and who built up a large
business, which Mrs Weed ha'
successfully managed since ne
husbands death.
Mrs Weed has travelled extensively
| tfuentIyand ls one OF the social leat
ers of Muscatine. So highly die
Governor Boies think of her ca
pacity that he rendered her th'
position of trustee in one of the
Iowa colleges, which, howevIr, sh'
declined.
Mrs Weed lives in a beautiful
house on one of the highest point
of the bluff overlooking tn
Mississippi river, which she bull

rich and very popular.

But Forrest was never captured.
Another striking contrast we find
in the manner of their deaths.
Forrest passed quietly away, with
his family around him, several
years after the war being at the
time a member of Court Street G
P. Church, in Memphis. Morgan
was killed at Greenville, East
Tennessee, in a manner most de-
plorable. He, with his staff, had
taken up quarters at the house of
a Northern sympathizer. A young
woman, the daughter of he man
in whose house they were quartered
went hurriedly on foot to where
the Federals were stationed and
told them that Morgan was at
her fathers house. Immediately the
Yankees hurried to Greenville.
Morgan's command was stationed
out of town; so when the enemy
came up he had no one with him
but his staff. AS tho Federals sur:

WONDERFUL THINGS THAT
ARE NEAR.

The Philadelphia Press fore
shadows the coming of the millen'
ium as follows:
"Flying is solved. The princi.
pie is known. A mechanical ex.
pedient is all that is needed now
to make it successful. Practical
flight is to-day not more than five
or ten years off.
A glow worm makes light with
about one three hundredth part OF
the force used in ordinary artificial
light. When men know how to
make light ss cheap, streets and
homes will be as light as day for q
mere fraction of what light costs
now. This is near. Vacuum illu-
mination without incandescence is
already in full operation, and in a
year or two should cut down the
price of light to q sixth of its cur
rent cost, aud in five or ten years
light may be like water, turned on
in every house at will.
When these come, the only use
for gas will be for cooking-lf this
is not done by electricity. Fac
tories, also, before many years,
will be run by transmitted electric
power. This has begun to be done,
and in five or ten years vii be
completed, and the factory fire and
boiler will be a thing of the past.
The city of the future, and no
very distant future, will have no
trolley poles or wires and no horses.
All movements will be on rail by
silent air motors or by horseless
carriages equally silent. All pave
ments will be asphalt. Unlimited
light will be as cheap as unlimited
water is to-day. No coal will be
delivered at private house, and
ashes, street dust and dirt will be
reduced to a minimum. With no
factory fire and no kitchen and
furnace free, the air will be as
pure in the city as in the country.
Trees will have a chance: houses
be warmed and lighted as easily
and cheaply as they are now sup
piled with water"
