Frederick yilliers' War Bicycle.

Frederick Villiers, the English war
correspondent, intends to use bicycle
when he engages in "active service. p"
He has had machine constructed with
this object in view. 1t is described as
follows: The machine is built to carry
an extraordinary amount of luggage
baggage, wallets, pump, camera, watch,
cyolometer, etc. The various articles
are SO distributed that they do not in
terfere with the revolutions of the
wheels and pedals. The framework of
the machine is high, to prevent all pos
sibility of the pedals striking stones
and rocks when riding over rough
ground. 1t also keeps the rider out of
the mud, and the chain-which is with
out gear case-clean and free from
dust. The weight of the machine is
about 38 pounds, and Mr.. Villiers can
carry another 3 pounds of luggage and
put in 10 miles an hour easily. New

CARRIERS
WHITE
LEAD
IS STRICTLY PURE.

The Carter White Lead Company
stands ready at any and all times by
practical tests to prove that the Carter
Lead will cover one-fourth more sur
face, and do it better, than any brand of
lead manufactured by what is known as
the old Dutch Process. and also to prove
it's superiority in body whiteness and
durability.
We invite practical painters to make
independent tests by carefully measuring
surface and weighing the leods TO be
tested and then comparing results,
which will in every instance prove that
Carter Lead will cover one
fourth more surface
The superiority of Carter Lead is due
to improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which perfect corrosion is obtained,
and, consequently, when you purchase
a keg of Carter Lead you get keg of
Lead that is perfectly corroded.
A keg of Carter White Lead is

orders promptly.
There is more Carter White Lead
sold than any other brand manu-.
featured in the United States.

The Old and the Young.

1t is said that Lord Rosebery, who is
a keen cyclist, considers that strength

sport, the wheel develops these. When

are beginning in good time to develop
those muscles on which every English
man prides himself My little friend is

to be the younger rider Oh wheels.
Among the aged recruits for the wheel
1 may mention no less person than the
bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, who
has recently fallen victim to the pre-
vailing epidemic. The venerable prelate
is in his seventy year. Surely
Mr.. Gladstone cannot long resist the at
traction. But not only do we hear of
dignitaries of the established church in
dulging in the pastime of cycling-it
has its votaries even among the ranks
of the Salvation Army, and from Amer.
lea we hear of squadrons of halleluiah
lasses wheeling to the fray. The cycling
corps carries banners with appropriate
notices, such, for example, as "We'll
puncture the DEVILS tire" eve are

The Wen Groomed Wheel.

The man or woman who does not love
his or her wheel enough to take good
care of it deserves to be classed with
the man who committed suicide because
he got tired of buttoning his clothes in
the morning and unbuttoning them at
night. The wheel is like d horse; we'll
groomed, it runs easily and far; uncared
for, it runs hard and soon wears out.
The little attentions it requires are the
ones that count. New York Press.

One Sunday law is supposed to
be in force over the whole group.
Yet poor Japanese is arrested
under that law for fishing after
shutdown, while scores of people
with IMMUNITY go shooting, boat
ing, fishing, bathing, etc., in and
out of the city limits from morn
ing till night, and others do car
pentering, gardening and what
not about their homes throughout
the day. The spirit of our Sun
day law would seem to be to restrict
people on that day in just
three respects, viz: l, That hir-
ed labor is not to be worked exS
cepting for necessity, mercy or
great public convenience. 2, That,
in consonance with the first,
ordinary trade, traffic and industry
are to be suspended. 3, That
nobody pursuing work or pleasure
shall disturb the day of rest for
others. If the letter OF the law
empowers more severe restric-
tons, then it should be amended.
AS it is enforced, it is certainly
neither consistent nor impartial.

THE MASS MEETING.

In proportion to the Hawaiian
population of Honolulu, the mass
meeting against annexation yes
terday evening had a small attend
snce. One member of every ma
tive family in Honolulu would
have given an assembly of 220O to
$500 people. Yet with consid-
cradle proportion of women the
attendance was not fifth of that
range. This is telling exhibit
which no amount of assertion will
countervail. While it does not
show that the Hawaiians who
stayed away are generally in favor
of annexation, it goes far to prove
the extravaganza of statements On
the other side regarding the ex-
tent and degree of native opposi-
ton. As to the speeches as report
ed, they contained but one solitary
argument. That was that with
annexation the islands would be
overwhelmed by deluge of white
people, who would swamp the ma
tives and take everything in sight.
The orators ought to have gone
further and shown how much
better it would be for the Hawai-
ians to have their land deluged
with the tinted peoples OF Asia.

Besides the six tools it can

the kinds mentioned, has this
group to offer-annexation or NO

exaggerated ideas abroad, which
the native orators of yesterday
had imbibed, as to the in.
duce ments Hawaii will have
to present-in material point
of view-after annexation that
have not been presented any
time the past twenty years under
favorable trade relations with the
United States. Many may come
here while the novelty of coming
is having it's edge worn off, which
will not be very long when it is
found that "everything" or any
thing gin sight" here cannot be
taken" except it is first
bought or earned. However,
all the better advantages the
country under annexation will
have in peace, progress
and prosperity, the Hawaiians
may, if they choose, share equally
with people of white race who are
here at the event or come later,
with a decided lead over the latter
in the opportunities of grasping
the benefits of the situation.
There will be an end to political
unrest and jeopardy of turmoil,
making for peace which the Ha-
waiian loves. The unlimited
market of the United States
will be assured to Hawaiian
products forever, and who should
be producers in their own coun-

they will have all the privileges
and powers of American citizens,

numbers greater actual power in

fore. The whole United States
will indeed be their country,
where many of them have already
made comfortable homes, those
who have gone there with trades
being more than able to hold their
own. Their skill as sailors will
command a premium in the navy
and the mercantile marine of the
Union. 1t is not too much to expect
that the stimulus of the enlarged
national life would enable the
Hawaiians to play a return match
of "crowding" or "deluging" with
the whites on both land and sea.
History was cited by one of the
orators to prove that the white
races only come to the lands of
the dark to qverwhelm them.
While history does not show this
to be a universal rule, it is too
late to raise an cutlery in these
islands of that danger. The
whites have been here long time

Contemporary history, however,
shows the natives of Tahiti under

the contrary of deteriorating in

aborigines of New Zealand past
the turning point and increasing
