The Journals Bicycle Carnival.

New York, Feb. 8-A monster bicycle
carnival will be given at Madison Square
Gardens tonight by the New York Jou1n-
al. 1t will be the most pretentlous, and
Coubtless the most successful affair OF the
kind ever held. Invitations to nearly all
of the prominent clubs of the state have
been sent out. The entertainment will
begin with varied program of racing,
track riding and other notable features,
and then will come the grand parade in
which prizes of the most elaborate and
costly character will be given. When it
is known that the prizes will be even bet
ter than those offered to the participants
in the Journal parade of last September
one can realize the remarkable scale up
on which the carnival will be conducted.

Mr.. Cages Brief Cour tship.

A relative Of LymangJ. Gage, the great
secretary of the treasury, has told me a
story about him that throws a food Of
light upon his character. Mr.. Gage is a
man of few words, and his mind is al
ways very much preoccupied with busl-
ness cares. rhe loss of bis first wife was
a severe blow 10 him, and after a year or
so, it was hoped that he would propose to
her sister, very worthy woman who
spent good deal of time at his house.
But he made no move in that direction.
One day his son said to him:
Father I've made up my mind you're
a fool"
"How's that, John? How's tbat?" said
the father, without looking up from his
paper.
"If you weren't you'd propose to Aunt
Amelia" said the boy.
"Huh! Good idea," said he. Hand me
a telegraph blank"
Then he Immediately wrote the follow
ing message:
Dear madame: My son John suggests
that ask you to become my wife. Will
you have me2 Answer"
And the reply was yes.
can't vouch for the Christian names,
but the story is correct in all essential
details.
Aunt Amelia" was In Denver when
the now historic telegram was sent She
was residing at the St. James hotel, then
the Wentworth house, where, with her
parents, who were cousins of Lyman
Gage, she lived at intervals for few
years. They alternated between Denver
and Chicago, having business interests
in both places.-Washington Corrospon-
dence,
The above sounds queer and, probably,
has not more than grain or two of truth
in it. The proposal by telegraph is well
authenticated. Mrs. Gage was widow of
consumptive brother of the banker who
died in Boulder and Lyman J. came here
to attend the funeral and later visited
with his sister, Mrs. Colonel Brair erd.
He went back to Chicago after one of
these visits, with the widow in his heart
Jumped off the train, rushed to the tele-
graph office and sent his proposition red
hot by wire. Mrs. Gage is handsome
woman and charming one in all re-
spects. The Gage residence at Wash
ington bids fair to lead all the rest in the
splendor of its entertainments.
