VAN WICK ITEMS.

van w NCk nllnrOuS are ENJOY
ing the sport Of bird hunting.
Three "crack shots spent We'd
nesday in rambling over hill and
dale and report pleasant time
for awhile, for themselves, but,
very unpleasant for the birds.
This trio of huntsmen give their
figures thus: One shot 2S times
and brought down II birds, anoth-
er % times and 10 birds, the last
but not least 81 times and 5 birds.
This gentleman is excusable as his
eyesight is failing and beetles
were mistaken for birds. These
gentlemen seemed so we'll pleased
with the sport that they put Op-
tlmus in the notion of trying the
sport also. In company with q
friend we made for the Catawba
River bottoms where we could
have fair view and long range.
We were not long in finding a
covy and the friend began firing
away and saying shoot. The gun
we intended to use is one of these
hammerless kind and we have been
used to one of the kind on which
you can see the hammer. We
put in our time when the birds
were flushed in trying 20 get our
gun in condition to shoot and in
doing this the birds got beyond
our distance. We tried it again
and the friend brought down his
bird and Optimus made the fcath
ers fly. We tried time and again
and the feathers would fly and
carry the birds with them. We
could not stand this and quit in
good humored disgust with one
poor bird and set of tired and
worn out limbs. Iou can imagine
our chagrin, when we had to IN
form Mrs Optimus that the birds
we promised her for next days
pie were still at liberty. She
did not seem disappointed, and
pleasantly said, 81 expected this,
and have bought us some nice
STEAK for tomorrow. This made
us feel perfectly at ease over our
failure and let our mind drift out
in sympathy toward the old bache-
lpr who has no one to sympathiZe
with him, and think Bill Dolittlc
is very sensible fellow in getting
him wife.
\ very amusing thing happened
at our post office a few days since
in which one of our youthful bellies
figured extensively. This youth
fuI belle has more Youthful
lover and some one sent her
nice made up package with small
bottle filled with milk, and full
directions for use when her lover
called again, saying he certainly
would need it being away from
home so long. The note and direc-
tions were signed by DR. Mack.
We think the Doctors know better
than anyone else when children
are liable to suffer.

uNLnCKY DEPOSITORS.

Some of the unlucky wights who had
funds deposited in the Globe savings
bank of Chicago don't take their losses
easily. They want their money back,
and they want it so badly that they
have asked the Legislature of Illinois
to appropriate 100000 to make them
whole. The argument they make is an
interesting one. They admit that the
State is sovereign and cannot be sued
for its negligence. And yet, they say,
in reference to State banks it occu-
pies a position exactly parallel with a
director of bank. The State COW
enanted and agreed with it's citizens
that it would examine its banks hold
/ ing it's charters, and either assess the
stockholders for impaired capital or
close the bank. In opposition to this it
is pointed out that the State under
takes to supervise such banking as is
done under State charters. and has Of
ficials who make frequent examinations
of public financial institutions. The

purpose is to make the banks as safe as
possible, and much has been accom-
pllshed in that direction. There is,
however, no warrant in equity or law
for reimbursing deposltors out of the
public treasury when q bank happens
to fail, The State undertakes to furn-
ish protection, to the extent Of its abll-
ity against burglars and robbers, but
it does not make good losses by burg
larry and robbery, even in cases of po-
lice negligence. A city has regulations
and ordinances for safety against fire,
but q person whose property burns
does not expect to receive the value
thereof from taxes paid by his fellow
citizens. If the principle urged by the
Globe savings bank depostors were
once admitted and applied, there would
be no end of raids on State and city
treasures. And the Chicago Tribune
directs attention to the following sec
ton of the Illinois constitution: The
State shall never pay, assume or be-
come responsible for the debts or liza
bilities of, or in any manner give, loan,
or extend its credit to, or in aid of,
any public or other corporation, assoc
citation, or individual
The depositors' money is gone for
good, or bad, but it is no wonder that
they feel that they haven't had proper
protection.

THE WARLIKE BICYCLE,

People have gone to get married on
bicycles, and soon people will go to war
on bicycles. The French army appears
to lead the way in this new branch of
military experiment. It was the first
to organize a separate corps Of cyclists.
This corps has been lately provided
with folding bicycles, which can be
packed up and carried along over
ground not practicable for wheeling. A
with pumps, tires, spokes, etc, goes
with each cycle company. The latest
French claim Is the construction of
self-moving bicycle, armed in front
with fearful array of bayonets. 1t is
said to be steered with the feet, leaving
the rider perfectly free to use his rifle.
The propelling power is q, gasoline mo-
tor, capable of driving the machine for
ten hours at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour. The bayonets are fixed to a
transverse bar supported by rod plac-
ed at right angles and attached to the
front of the framework of the machine.
Another reported French invention is a
cannon bicycle, worked on the auto
matte principle. The cartridges are to
be attached to a revolving band, which
| is to operate on a drum fixed to the
front of the bicycle. The cannon is said
| to weigh under forty pounds, and to
have a firing capacity of seven shots
per second, the gunner having nothing
to do but to keep his finger on the trig-
ger and aim the weapon.
the French scorch over them. No ac-
count has yet been published of a tack
corps. They may be keeping that dark
But they have established a training
school for dogs to be used in dragging
bicycle riders from their wheels. A
thousand Great Danes are now being
drilled daily in Berlin, the object being
| to teach them to distinguish between
the German uniforms and those of 9TH
err armies. They are taught to rush up
on any cyclist clad in a foreign uni
form The riders are padded to prevent
injury and whenever the dogs attack a
rider who wears the German uniform
they are whipped, while they are re-
warded when they attack Others
A fight between a bicycle corps and a
corps of Great Danes would be an in
teresting and improving spectacle.

THE INVESTIGATION BEGUN,

The investigation of the gorgeous
street. sprinkling advertisement began
last evening, with Alderman Caring
ton in the chair and Town Counsel
Goodhart in the saddle--When he wasn't
temporarily endorsed. Those present
spent an interesting though not a sem
sational evening, and we think we are
within bounds when we say that the
conduct of affairs by the Republican
members of the Board Of Finance made
an unfortunate impression upon most
of the spectators. After the republicans
have been so conspicuously successful
in concealing economy every good Re
publican ought to practice until he can
cheerfully conceal anything and every
thing that looks like sensitiveness about
free discussion of the shining success.
