Bicycle Suit Without Wheel.

The latest Partisan fad has struck
New York, and the more sedate mem
bers of the community are now wonder
ing how it happened. 1t is now the
correct thing to be seen on the boule-
ward, in the park, and even down town
in the business district in complete
bicycle costume and the funny part of
it is that the bicycle itself is a matter
of no consequence.
1t is a common sight to see men on
lower Broadway and Wall street
diligently pursuing their different vo-
cations, but clad in the regulation BIZ
cycle suit. Who in their meanderings
through the winding walks of central
park these beautiful autumn days has
not noticed handsome young women,
some with and some without escorts,
leisurely strolliug along the leaf strewn
paths apparently ObliviOus of all the
world except themselves, dressed in
the height of bicycle fashion?
Many people who see these somewhat
scantly clad youths and damsels with
abbreviated skirts wonder where their
bicycles are. The wise ones do not.
These latter know full well that nine
out of every ten of these knickerbOck-
cred men and short skirted young
women do not own a bicycle, and the
chances are could not ride one if they
did. They are simply following the
fad and are on parade, much the same
as the well formed society girl who
does not know how to swim delights to
stroll about on the Newport or Long
Branch sands clad in swimming
costume which is never wet from the
beginning to the end of the season.
On any fine day the parks and boule-
wards of Paris are thronged with young
men and women dressed in bicJcling
costumes, but without any indication
of ever having owned or ridden a BIZ
cycle. They have simply adopted that
style of costume because they think it
more convenient, and 1t has the addi-
tional advantage of showing the femi-
nine form to the best possible advan-
tage.

and he would be pleased to know how
the council was minded in the matter.
Referred to the finance committee.
President Edwards of the fire depart
ment appeared before the council to
ask that the ordinances be so changed
that eX-preSidents and eX-chlefs OF the
fire department could be placed on the
board of directors. He also asked that
six folding beds be purchased for the
use of the paid men in the department.
as they had now been moved upstairs
into fire mems hall to Sleep and the
present sleeping arrangements took up
altogether too much room. He also
asked that the vicious horse Alex be
sold and a new one substituted; stating
at the same time that the directors had
decided to return the horses
to the positions they occupied
before the chief made the changes.
President Edwards asked for the new
style flooring recommended by the
chief for the horses instead of the pres
ent plankiug; and that six closets be
built in back Of the council chamb Der
for the use of the paid fremen, more
over, the department would like an
ordinance passed forbidding the OBJ
structipg of the streets with eXcava-
tions covering more than half the road
way. Then the speaker called the
councils attention TO the fact that
Juarez had pot done a solitary thing
towards supplying herself with fire ap-
paratus, and that while FL Paso might
be relied on for assistance in the case
of a large fire over the river, 1T was
only fair that Juarez should supply her
self with something in the way of fire
apparatus.
The mayor said in reference to the
department going to fires over the river
that ne was DESTROYS of the most friendly
relations between the two cities to
continue, but he could readily see tie
danger of the department going over
there at night time to put out fire, II
some precOncerted arrangement had
been made by tirebugs to fire buildings
in Ell Paso. In the day time there was
not much danger from this source. 1t
was decided to send d communication
to the Juarez city council stating the
situation and recommending that the
ayun tamiento get move on them in
the matter of providing their city with
fire apparatus, at the same time stating
that Ell Paso would be ready to extend
help whenever necessary.

At the request of Mr.. WhitmOre, the

Health Officer White made the fol-
lowing report: 1 beg leave to call
attention to the necessity that exists
for taking some steps to abate the
nuisance, aud menace to the public
health which is occasioned by the
escape from the sewer of the waste
water from the Southern Pacific rail
road shops. Either the city or the
railroad authorities should provide a
conduct of sufficient capacity, to carry
it Off If allowed to accumulate it will
at the present rate soon flood the whole
tract of country lying between the
railroad tracks and Myrtle street, and
prove not only great detriment and
of the property bat a serious menace
to the health of the city as well.
| am informed by superintendent
Martin, and his position seems to me
well taken, that it is the duty of the
city to furnish sewer facilities adequate
to the necessities of the situation: if
this is true there should be no unnec-
essary delay in the construction of a
8 ever line of sufficient capacity. On
the other hand if it should prove to be
the duty of the railroad company to
take care of its waste water, prompt
action upon their part should be re-
quired.
The matter was referred to the city
attorney and the health officer with !
instructions to report as to the city's |
in the matter.
Mr.. Whltmore here stirred up the |
city engineer into fit of nervousness,
by moving that the city give the grade |

willing to furnish all the requisite help
himself. and the engineer was instruct
I'd by the chair to go ahead and make
