FOR BETTER STREETS.
The Bicycle Union is Asking for Im-
 proved Streets.


 proved Streets.
 The Bicycle union, recently organ tzed, is pushing for the improvement of the streets about the city. Morris Ty- ler president of the union, has already drawn up a petition to be presented to the common council, which asks that the principal crossings about the city be bricked as the corner of State and Chapel streets Is at present, The cor ners referred to are Church and Chapel, Elm and Church, George and Church, and several others.
 No decisive step will be taken until the present session of the state 1egis- lature Is over and the laws which shall govern the use of bicycles are settled. There will be number of petitions handed in to the common council as soon as the work can be properly be- gun.
 The pavements about the city are be- ing closely inspected. to detect any faults in road making.
 The Bicycle union is rapidly gaining members and arrangements are being made so that each member of the union shall be member of the Connecticut Federation of Cyclists This can be very easily accomplished by sending fifteen cents of the fifty cents entrance to the federation and receiving the card and button.

A RAILROAD WITHOUT CARS.

In the forest of the Bridal Veil Lum- bering company at Bridal Veil. in Or egon, there is a railroad which does business without cars. Hauling great logs from log pond to the saw mill is the nature of the business, and the train, so called, is made up of an or dinary locomotive and a string of logs, each one as large in diameter, and some even larger, than the boiler of the en- zine. Boards are nailed to the sleepers between the rails and on these the logs slide. Except on descending grades, the boards are greased and the train moves at good speed. Where the road is level or slightly ascending the engine pulls the logs, and where it is descending it holds them back. At the mills of the company the manufactured lumber, regardless of size, is run into a Hume. and this is carried about two miles to the blaming mill and shipping yard, the Hume descending about 1,200 feet in that distance. Economy in rolling stock seems to have been carried to a maxi mum on this road. but the service is quite as we'll performed as the con- ditions demand.-Cassier's Magazine.

COMPASSION FOR ALL SUFFER-
 ING CREATURES.

Tt is shame a beastly shame" shouted the well-dressed man to the crowd that had been attracted by
 teamster beating his horses while try ing to pilot a heavy load of coal
 through Quincy street. The horses smarting under the lash, finally started
 the load over the slippery pavement and moved away The man whose sympath and indignation had been aroused by the incident was apparent ly prosperous drummer on his way to catch train. but he stopped long
 enough to express his decided opinions.
 Tt is a shame" he continued, that
 brutes in the guise of men should abuse
 mans best friend, the horse A noble
 animal is the horse, and treated prop erly will never fail his master I tell you, fellow men, we should be kind to the dumb brutes until we are absolute ly certain about this theory of transmit grafton of souls. Who knows but you or I may some day be dray horse
 beaten and kicked about by some un- feeling teamster?'
 Raising his voice so as to reach the 1 listeners on the outskirts of the crowd, he continued: Tt should be the mis- sion Of every man in this busy, unfeel- | ing world to do as much good as possi- 1 ble. There is enough of misery at the

for which he had struggled. He died wiser, if sadder, man, in April, 1863, | James Buchanan left the stormy scenes in Washington in 1861, almost with a broken heart. No other presi- dent had retired from office so utterly repudiated and detested by great part of the people. Withdrawing to his home in Pennsylvania, he lived in se- clusion, watching with keenest interest the terrible drama enacted between the warning sections of his country. A few years before his death. in 1868, Buchan- an wrote defense of his administra- tion, which seemed to remove in man her the stigma which partisan hate had heaped upon him.
 Andrew Johnson also retired from the presidential office under cloud, By nature, however, he was not morbid ly sensitive man, and his life in Knox vile among his friends was simple, un- affected and dignified. A few years later he was elected United States sen ator being the second of the eX-presi- dents to undertake the duties of that position.
 After eight years in the White House, General Grant took up life of leisure, His journey around the world was probably the greatest ovation ever paid to any man in ancient or modern times. Grant was essentially indolent. Not that he did not labor when occasion re- quired, and often with an energy un- known to other men, but he preferred leisure, and as expresident, he grati- fled that bent of his nature to the full est extent. It has always beeA a grief to his countrymen that the last years of his life were overshadowed by pover- ty brought on by the treachery of trusted friends, for otherwise his re- tirement from public affairs would have been ideal in every respect.
 Half an hour after listening to Gar fields inaugural address, ex-President Hayes left Washington and repaired to his home in Fremont. Ohio. There he lived the quiet life of a country gentle man, being content to engage in agri- cultural pursuits and in the study of charitable problems. He courted seclu- sion and passed his days in that most unostentatious retirement which per fectly befitted his tastes
 General Arthur had ambitious dreams of business combinations and the accumulation of wealth before leaving his public duties, but incurable disease had already fastened its hand upon him. and he died few months later, comparatively young man.
 This brief review of the after careers of American presidents suggests that their retirement to private life is the most natural and withal the most ra- tional i. arrangement. The majority have had ample means for lives of com fort and repose A pension for some would have been superfluous, and the retention of others in the senate or in any public capacity would have beer embarrassing and dangerous to subsa quent administrations York Times.

BIG BREACH IN LEVEES
GREENTILLE, MESS, AND OTHER
 TOWNS DOOMED.

Heroic Efforts to Save the City-Ail Able
 Bodied Men Ordered Out to Render
 Assistance-Two Disastrous Breaks. Greenvile, Miss, March sO,--The le- wee broke at Mound Landing, Miss, hf~ teen miles north of this place, at 5 o'clock this morning, Greenville and all towns west of Deer Creek will be flooded. The break at steads Landing near Perthshire, this morning, was 1,50o feet wide. The entire lower half of the delta will be under water within three days. All able bodied men have been called out to throw up the protect ing levees around the city.
 Jackson, Miss. March 30.-The ere vase at Lake Lee is now about 60o feet wide and all hopes of closing 1t have been abandoned. Levees on the Greenville front are still holding, and q hard fight is being made to keep them intact Lake Lee is seven miles south of Greenville on the Mississippi side, and the water from this break Is going to flood thousands of acres of fine farm lands It will spread out forty miles and cover the growing corn a depth of from one to five feet and find its way to Deer Creek and thence into the Yazoo river, through which it will finally get back into the Mississippi after devas- tating strip of country about seventy five miles long. Railroad Commissioner Evans and Warden McLauren went to Lake Lee yesterday on receiving news of the break, and will keep the convicts at work until danger of further breaks is over.

SUNDAY IN HYDE PARK.

Sunday is Hyde Park s day "At Home" and in the shape of a blue sky she sends her invitation to all London, and her popularity is easily shown by the num- Der and variety of her friends. By long odds the best-looking exhibit Is to be seen during church parade. It extends from Hyde Park Corner to Stanhope Gate and consists of the we'll to do, most of whom probably first came to the park with their nurses and little later with their tutors. and they now come grown up with white hair to pay their respects to the good doctor of their childhood. These good looking people always struck me as closely resembling each other. They form what is distinct ly a Sunday gathering, and one as serious as a wedding. Seldom a loud voice Is heard There is a feeling of rest throughout the whole scene. and it is impossible to be there without en- tering into the spirit of it. In the sol emn throng that pass and repass l have seen a noisy steamer acquaint- ance thoroughly subdued and looking like an undertaken in the long coat and high hat that he was probably wear ing TOT the HrSL tune. Every one elSe seemed to have been there from child hood. The old gentleman in the Row undoubtedly first appeared there on Shetland ponies under the watchful eye of the groom. Here and there under the trees duchess or an American heiress is holding a reception. and the men about them and the ladies them selves are all Du Mauriers.
 This must be the reason that to me the scene is alway reminiscent. It is not a thing to tire of, and Sunday after Sunday these well dressed and well be- haved people attend church-parade as seriously as they attend church. A little farther into the park are the shop keepers and domestics listening to the band. Here you are likely to meet the real estate agent and tailor with whom you have already had dealings. They are a distinct class, and very different from the first exhibit. They keep their frock-coats carefully buttoned, and are apparently not so much at their ease. Separated from these people by an- other social gulf, and toward Marble Arch, are the unemployed listening to the park actors and park orators.-C. D. Gibson in Scribners.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The Posts Washing

There is information of an apparently
reliable sort that the Union Pacific re-
organization committee is prepared to
enter into an agreement to pay the
government between $50, 900, 600 and
$40, 600, 900 for the Union Pacific proper
ties under foreclosure proceedings to
be instituted by the government in the
event the funding bills fail to pass the
house.
The president has been informed of
the purpose of the committee and it is
again reported today that he is ready
to issue proclamation directing a fore
closure should the funding bills meet
with defeat when the vote is taken next
Monday.
The committee it is said, will either put
up the money furnish a satisfactory
guaranty for the fulfillment of the con-
tract. If this agreement is carried out and
the government takes the initiative. then
all other parties at interest can file bills
under the government proceedings.
BY the means proposed and by that
means only would purchasers be insured
of a clear title when the properties are
knocked down under the hammer.

in the Reinhart Trial

Chicago, Jan. 6-In the trial of ex-

day for violation of the interstate COM
merce law, Attorney Forrest outlined
the defense when he took UP the contin-
uance of the cross examination of John
G.. Taylor the eX-1ive stock agent of
the Santa Fe road.
1t will be that the rate, or rebates,
were made by Taylor and not by Han
ley, as declared by Taylor. At the
same time Mr.. Forrest laid the founda-
tion for an impeachment of the witness
if found necessary by the defense.
Taylor. who is the well known horse
man and owner of Joe Patchen. testi-
fed yesterday that Hanley had directed
him to settle the rebates due the Ham
mond company and Isaac Thompson.
Today Mr.. Forrest at the opening
asked Taylor if when he turned his Of
flee over to his successor, Agent I'll
tus he had said to Titus that he would
get even with Hanley for causing his
discharge and further told Titus that
he, Taylor, never took his orders from
Hanley but from the president of the
road.
Taylor denied the language quoted.
Taylor denied that he ever said to ]. l..
Pennington: Never mind Hanley; he
does not count for much. Take your
orders fro me. 1 get mine from the
president"
He denied that he told Superintendent
Vallandingham Of the Kansas City
Live Stock Bureau: "Hanley dis
charged me and I-wflI get even with
him.
Taylor denied that he told Mr.. H. u.
Childs of the Kansas City stock yards

Fe road had been asked for rebate
on a loose car load shipment of cattle,
that the president of the road had said,
See John Taylor; he is the only per-
son in the Santa Fe employ who has
authority to make rebates
He denied that he had told Hanley's s
private secretary that he hoped to
live long enough to get square with
Hanley."
On redirect examination by Mr..
Shields for the government Taylor said
he had not made the rebates in the two
cases named in the Indictment but that
