A Queen, but No Wheel.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazar
me young Queen of Holland is learning
lesson common to human experience
that the solicitude which surrounds US is
as OFTEN as not sad bar to pleasure. The
privy council of Holland have agreed that
Wllhelmina must not ride bicycle. Ideas
OF propriety have not been given as a
reason. She in all likelihood would combat
those. But 1t has been gravely announced
that tho life of one so precious and so
necessary to her subjects must not be en-
dangered. And all this is after the queen
has learned to ride and knows the fun in it,

SOCIAL.

One of the magazines publishes an in
teresting sketch of Ben Franklin, but
does not mention an incident that occur
red while he was minister to the court of
ST. James. On court occasions Franklin
refused to appear in the court dress of
Eng land, as the ministers and ambassa-
doris of other countries did. He took the
position that he was representative of
the United States not only in diplomacy,
but in customs. He commended that he
better represented his own country in the
dress of that country than in the dress
of the country to which he was sent.
This true estimate of the proprieties
marked Franklin as a man of the world,
as well as a statesman and philosopher.
He had as true appreciation of etiquette
as Chesterfield. The position taken by
Franklin Is now conceded to be correct.
The diplomatic corps at Washington ap-
pear in the dress of their country. Sir
Julian Pauncefote wears the knee
breeches and powdered wig of the Eng
lish court. But strange to say Ambassa-
dor Bayard does not conform to this rule
but wears the English court dress on
state occasions In speech as well as
dress Mr.. Bayard has offended his coun-
trymen. aara
On Tuesday night there was a large
audience at the opera house. At o'clock
scarcely a dozen seats were occupied,
but fifteen minutes later the audience

tain raiser, which was one of the pref
test scenes in the play. If people were
as prompt in coming to church as they
are to the theater it would save great
deal of annoyance.
At o'clock tomorrow morning Mr..
Frank J. Sweeney and Miss Maggie
Heating will be married by Rev. Father
OReilly at ST. PauPs Catholic church.
Immediately after the ceremony the hap
by couple will leave for Atlanta, where
they will spend their honeymoon. Mr..
Sweeney is the head cutter for Sommer
& Co., tailors, and Miss Heating is a
popular young lady, residing at 315 Eigh-
teenth street. Many friends will be pres
ent to wish them joy

A NEW YORK OFFICE.

For a number of years the B. & o. R.
r. has had its New York headquarters
at AIS Broadway, and the location has
proved to be all that could be desired fop
railroad headquarters. Lately, however,
a large new building has been erected a
little further up the street, on the east
side of Broadway. and 1t has been deci-
ded by the management Of the road to
rent the entire lower floor of this build
ing and equip 1t in a fashion that will
make the New York office of the B. & o.
superior to any similar office In the coun-
try. The alterations necessary are now
being made, and 1t Is expected that pos
session will be taken by December 10.

OVER A THOUSAND MILES
A Week Does Captain Peabody Travel
In His Private Car.

Captain W. w. Peabody, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the B. &
o. S.W., travelled last year, in his private
car, the Ohio, just 54,419 miles. The rec
ord was kept by c. A Tonay, who has
been in the captains private office for
eleven years, and who accompanies him
on his travels He keeps a daily record
of the cars movements, and can show
at just what point on the road the cap
tain was at any time during the past ten
years while out on his car. In 1889 the
car, with the captain, Travelled $3.50
miles; in 1890, 1890 miles; in 1891, 1852
miles; in 1894, 60,311 miles, and in 1895,
81. 23O miles. This record is hardly
equalled by any railroad man in the
west and is equal to going twice around
the world every year, and half way back
again. I'r

Two accidents happened on the South
Highlands yesterday. A boy was
thrown from his wheel and remained un-
conscious for some minutes. He finally
reached home in a dazed way and could
not tell how the accident happened. and
his bicycle could not be found. A large
gray horse attached to buggy ran down
Pearson hill, overturning the buggy, and
kicked himself loose from the harness,
and started toward Montgomery. where
he will probably be found lobbying.

Mr., jackson did not vote for the
Banner and made a proposition
to the members of that body to
give the tax list to the Ocala
Star and Banner, leaving out the
Free Press and Mail and Express
entirely. They had good and
substantial reasons for their ac-
tions and the charge that they
were Influenced by personal
malice is absolutely false. They
well knew that the Banner and
Free Press had been getting the
lions share of the work and their
claim was DO better than the
other papers. They knew also
that the Star office was the larg-
est and best equipped printing
establishment that has ever been
erected in Marion county and that
the proprietors were in all re-
spccts competent to do the work
in a satisfactory manner. They
knew also that the Star has been
a loyal and Jealous supporter of
the democratic party and they
were in all respects justified in
giving the tax sale to that paper.
The members of the board have
acted wisely and their actions
will have the sanction Of every
sensible democrat in the county.
