First Marietta.built Bicycle.

We were shown Wednesday the new
bicycle recently made by Mr.. George
Salzman, Ohio street. for his son,
Harry. The machine is certainly q
beauty, and rider and maker both have
the right to be proud of the mount.
The wheels are regular 2s inch wheels,
but low, short frame connects them
SO that the young owner can feel COM
Portable on the machine. The lines of
fork and frame are fine, thoroughly
reinforced, and were planned by Mr..
Salzman. He made them from the
rough tubing; and the hubs, shafts
and fittings were all made by him out
of the very best material. The machine
was assembled by Mr.. Salzman, and
weighs entire, only 20 pounds. 1t is
geared to 72 inches.
This is the first bicycle of the modern
type ever built IN Marietta, but it will
probably not be the last, as Mr.. Salz-
man expects to engage himself more or
less in their construction in future.

Railroad Economy.

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables.
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is a service of
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. 1t generally
takes four men to turn locomotive
and while they are doing SO their regu-
lar work is abandoned.
Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the so foot turn
table at Chlllicothe with such success
that the Park Street turn-ta BILE in Gin
cinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant
and it cost on an average OF less than
one-half a cent sfor each time the
table was turned. When this same
table was operated by hand it cost 12
cents for each engine. The yearly
saying is bout s7o9.

Important Business Change.

Front street will about January first
witness an important business move.
1t will be the beginning of operations
of a partnership recently formed by
Mr.. A. w. Hutchison, the Bargain
Store man, and Mr.. Jerry Pierpoint,
recently one of the proprietors of the
Bellevue.
Mr.. Hutchison has seen the rise and
success Of the department store idea,
and it is for the perfection of the plan
and its larger operation that the new
partnership is formed
The new concern will occupy the
first floor, at present occupied by Mr.
Hutchison. The second floor double will
also be occupied by the new firm, and
the third floor also as at present. The
quarters will be very generous in size
and will no doubt be the scene of ar
active business

The regulations for admission to the
bar at that time. says the New York

with. Nevertheless there were found to
be only three lawyers on Staten Island,
l3 in Westchester, 60 in Albany, and As
In Onondaga. Monroe county had not
then attained the distinction which 1t
has had since the growth of Rochester
into city and it had within it's borders
only II lawyers, while Columbia coun-

the state many learned jurists, had 32.
and Dutchess county SO. The people of
Long Island were even less inclined to
litigation then than they are now, for
in the whole OF Suffolk county there
were six lawyers only, in Queens coun-
ty there were but two. and in Kings
county Gt is very different now) there
were three only. ++
In Boone county there were five law
yers. in Greene 21. in Putnam three. in
Steuben 12. and in Tioga IA; but per-
haps the lawyer of that period who ell
joyed what might in these days be
called an easy snap was the one member
of the New York bar who resided in
Orleans county. After 1920 there was u
large increase of lawyers in New York
state and in 1884 they numbered 2.os4.

FoRAKER's NEW HOUSE.

Senator Foraker, of Ohio, is building
one of the largest and finest residences
in Washington in the very midst of the
new fashionable residence quarter, at
the corner of Sixteenth street and
Madison place. The house promises
to be beautiful specimen of architec-
ture and is large enough to accommo-
date considerable colony of the Sena-
tors friends. The material is yellow
fire brick, trimmed with gray sand
stone. The interior is arranged for
entertaining, and in the basement are
a mum Der of rooms which the Senator
has planned for offices for himself and
clerks.
Senator and Mrs. Foraker have NOT
been known as society people. While
Governor of Ohio he was hospitable
and performed all the social duties re.
quired of him in a manner beyond
criticism, but after his retirement from
Office he removed to Cincinnati. Here
he lived quietly, devoting himself to
his profession, and picking up business
enough to keep him busy and fees
enough to make him rich, while Mrs.
Foraker DEVOTED herself to the educa-
tion of her children and the care of an
invalid child, to whom both she and
the Senator haye shown the most
touching devotion.
Since their arrival at Washington
they have not changed their habits of
life, but have lived very quietly at the
Arlington Hotel. The arrangement
of the new house, however, looks as if
they were intending to meet their
share of social obligations in Wash.

Consumption of n Small Quantity Suf-
ncient to Revive Tired Muscles.
Experiments of an interesting nature
have lately been made at the instiga-
tion of the Prussian war office to en-
deavor to decide the question as to
whether the consumption of small
quantities of sugar renders the tired
muscles capable Of renewed exertion.
In order to obtain practical result, the
person who was made the subject Of the
experiment was kept totally ignorant
of the object of the experimentes. On
one day, says the New York Medical
Record, a sweet liquor was admins
tered. containing 80 grams of sugar:
on the next day similar liquid, con-
tanning sufficient amount of sac
charine to render 1t indistinguishable
from the other as regarded taste. Aft
er a very large amount of muscular
work had been performed it was found
that better results could be obtained on
the days when the sugar was given than
on the days when saccharine was given.
The blood had become very poor in
sugar in consequence of the severe
muscular effort, and the administra-
tion OF comparatively small quantity
OF sugar had markedly invigorating
effect.

Listen to the ferryboat,
All the live long day.
See her as she proudly floots
Ger the water way.
Here she comes and there she goes.
Now at Williamstown.
See, she puffs, now she blows,
There she turns around
Ever going to and fro,
Through the storms that gather,
Through the rain and through the snow,
Every kind OF weather.
See the throng Of eager men.
Waiting on the bank,
Anxious to get home again
From the drill and tank.
From early dawn till eventide,
Through the dreary year,
Longing for the other side
And the friends so dear.
Thus we linger on the shore
OF life's fretful sea,
Waiting to be ferried DER
To eternity.
