THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BICYCLE.

After expending a great deal of time
and thought to selecting the most ele-
gantly finished and scientifically made
wheel In existence we have finally decided
on
THE HIGH ART IDE,
made by the F. F. Ide Mfg. Co. Of Peoria.
III.
The Ide wheel IS noted throughout the
bicycle world as the leading machine of
all artistically built bicycles.
1t has a very large number of peculiar
and distinct features, among them the
patented elliptical spring steel cranks
which give a beautiful and imposing eff
feet to the wheel and increases its motive
powers.
We do not claim that the High Art Ide
is the best wheel made, or any better than
our Barnes Remington or Eagle, but we
do assert that II surpasses everything on
the market for elegance of finish. Just as
its name implies-High Art Ide. Options
on four different styles of forks are given.
The Ide wheels are finished in the follow
ing colors and styles: Full satin or satin
and carmine. satin and black or satin and
royal blue, and satin and olive, all very
rich colors. The choice of tires are NJ. &
W.. New York single tube, Vim, Hartford.
or Goodrich. The latter we think is the
best tire on the market. A number of OPP
tions are also given on saddles.
Call and see or samples of Ides to arrive in
about a week. Ide tandems are $50 and fl75,
and are by far the most beautiful goods OF any
on the market.
Road Wheels 500 and s125.
Road Racers $40
Track Racers 800
We have plenty Of Barnes, Keatings. Hun
ters, Eagles and Saxons on hand at prices to
beat the band.

FLORIDA AND THE FREEZE.
No Serious Damage TO Orange Trees
or PineauuIes Mt Orlando.

or I-lmealtpleA OEihnuOs
Orlando, Fla, Jan. 30.-The cold wave
reached this place on Wednesday night
and yesterday morning the signal service
station recorded a temperature of % de-
grees Thursday morning 1t was half de-
gree higher. This is the lowest point reach
ed since the disastrous freezes of 1915
Fears were entertained that damage would
result to the orange trees and to the prin-
c!pal plants. But thus far 1t is not believ-
ed that either have been injured and the
indications are that we have passed the
crisis. Possibly a few Of the orange trees
may lose a portion OF the outer leaves. but
this Will be no disadvantage The destruc-
lion of insect life will more than Offset the
slight injury to foliage.
Considera Bile apprehension was felt con-
corning the pineapple industry, which is in
such a 1ourishing condition in this sec
ton. But reports from the growers and an
inspection of the pineries show that the
partial sheds under which the plants are
cultivated have efectuaEy prevented dam
age In a few instances fires were kept up
inside the sheds during both nights. But
even where this was not done no percepti-
bic injury has been sustained by the
plants
OF course. vegetable gardens have suf-
fered more. and the truck farmers will
lose considerably. But where they have
seed beds to fan back on they win still be
in advance of competition from other sec
tons further north.

The Kird That Wore In Uac = Hundred
Years Ago.
The horse bogts between the cities of
New York and Brooklyn may be cited
as early attemIds TO solve the problem
of transport by water. An interesting
feature of these early constructions was
the use of a water " heel l2 feet or so in
diameter, with "a aoats the latter in
clined slightly to the radius so as to
avoid the lifting Of the water which is
80 troublesome q feature of the radial
float These horse boats appear to have
been Of three gcRmal designs. In the
first a frame, shaped somewhat like the
letter "a" or an inverted ~, was
mounted to turn around its vertical
axis Four Of these frames. dividing the
circle into eight parts, made a sort of
skeleton cone, and this cone was caused
to revolve by eight horses moving in a
horizontal circular path about 20 feet
in diameter The face gear, 10 feet in
diameter, drove three foot pinion
mounted uuon the axis ON the water
wheel shaft and the wheels were within
the frame ia an opening between half
hulls
The second plan was cf conical
skeleton frame at an Incline Of about
one in two, so that the hcrses had to
travel up this inclined surface, causing
it to rotate with their weight and trao-
\ ton.
In the third plan--a smaller design
the paddle wheels were brought into a
well between the two half hulls of the
boat, catamaran fashion, as in the first
management and the frame was mount
/ ed above the wheels, and its rotating
motion was transmitted by intermediate
1 idle wheels to the water wheel shaft.
Boats of the first and second class seem
A 70 have been abcut 80 feet long.
h 1t is interesting also to observe that
the swinging bridge for ferryboat serv-
ice had been already thought out by
Fulton early in this century, with its
counterweight construction and its
windlass for making the boats fast.
Such boats seem to have drawn a little
over two feet of water and TO have had
perfectly fiat bottoms, like scows. Pro

SHELBY AND THE PRESIDENT
How He Clinched His Appointment as
United States MarshaI.

How He Ciinchcd His Appointment as
United States Marshal.
"One,of General Shelby saving traits
was his ability to say exactly the right
thing to the right man in the right
place. A heavy fight was made ON him
when he was candidate for the mar
shalship. His opponents had told Presi.
dent Cleveland that Shelby had been
concerned III the assassination of the Of
ficers Of CIss county who had issued
some railway bonds against the wishes
Of the people. Shelby prepared himself
with affidavits from leading citizens and
went TO Washington. Disdaining assist
ance, he obtained a personal interview
with Mr.. Cleveland When he entered
the executive Office, Representative
Doc kery, the banker at Gallatin, one Of
his bitterest opponents, was present.
81 have been accused of assassina-
ifon, Mr. President, said General Shell
by, and have been informed that the
appointment to the United States mar
sbalship fer the western district Of Mis-
souri, hinges upon that charge. In JUS
tice to a Democrat l want you to exam
inc these papers at your leisure.
You have been correctly informed,
General Shelby, said the president.
That charge has been made. Twill look
at your papers.
Congressman Dookery interjected a
remark. 1 will bid you good morning,
Mr.. President, said the general There
is nothing that man pointing to Dock
ery-'can say to me in this Office or in
your presence. There are many places
in which he can meet me if he desires
"There was distinct challenge in
his manner and glance, but it never
came to anything. Within an hour Mr..
Cleveland caused General Shelby TO be
informed that he would be given the
appointment. The entire business was
settled in less than half day. 1t was
the guiding principle of General Shell
by's life to go straight for anything that
he wanted and straight against anything
that he didn't like Detroit FREQ
