the shoulder of some local speedy
man." 1t makes friends with other
wheelmen, but refuses to ride with
more than one person on the same even
ing.
New York has a bicycle pug owned by
Carroll Fleming, No. 81 West Twenty
second street, who is having an up
| holstered wire basket constructed for
its comfort during the autumn rides.
With the pug on the wheel no bell is
needed, for the animal has a distinct
liking for the sound of its own voice
and barks most of the time.
Charles Hemstreet, No. IL Dey street,
New York, had until recently a bicycle
monkey. The monkey rode in any po-
sition on the wheel or the rider, as it
saw fit, and kept up continual chat
tering all the time. 1t leaped from the
back again like a flash, and hung on
by feet and tail IL most accomplished
manner. The cool weather, however,
proved too much for it and it caught
cold and died.
But a more remarkable bicycle ami
NAL than any other yet heard of is Con-
sui H., chimpanzee, at Bellevue gar
dens, Manchester, England. r. L. Gar
her, who has just published a book
on the speech of monkeys, calls it the
most marvelously human ape in exist
ence.
Consul IL rides wheel, not as other
animals do through the help of the
real rider, but unaided. The ape is four
years old and was brought from the
west coast of Africa year and half
ago. Its aptitude for learning tricks
is immense. Music is one of its chief
accomplishments, its efforts on the
violin and bugle being too ludicrous
10 imagine. 1t is particularly fond of
its cigarette, and enjoys its tobacco
as only the prince of monkey con-
noisseurs can. Not content with using
soap and towels for its additions, it
also shaves, causing much amusement
when stropping its razor; and in addi-
ton to this shaves it's keeper in finished
style.
But its strong hold is the wheel. 1t
rides both the bicycle and the tricycle.,
and it is claimed that it is the only
monkey in the world that possesses
these accomplishments. 1t learned the
tricycle. first, and afterwards took to
the bicycle quite naturally. 1t is an
expert at the sport and steers the ma
chine worthy of study by beginners.
Consul gives performances daily, dis
plays of bicycle riding and other tricks,
all of which are out of the common.
While playing about the grounds the
ape often finds cigar stump. 1t knows
what it is, picks it up, puts it in its
mouth, and goes to the keeper for a
light. 1t will not attempt to light the
pipe or cigar for fear of burning its
fingers, but it will light a match and
hand it to the keeper TO hold. 1t some
times takes a piece of paper, lights it
in the fire and hands it TO some one
to light the pipe for it. 1t is afraid
of the fire and will not hold the paper

KING OSCAR OF SWEDEN.
The Man Who May Decide the
Venezuelan Question.
He Is Now Sixty-Seven Years OF Age
Known to the World as a Philosopher,
Poet, Musician, Author and Wisest
of Sovereigns.

An important figure in the Nene-
zuelan controversy is one Of the most
respected mOnarchs in Europe. Oscar
IL, king of Sweden and Norway, is a
man of 81. with benevolent counten-
ance, a full gray beard and stalwart
figure. In his youth he was a sailor,
and he still retains the bluff manners of
follower of the sea.
He is the fourth sovereign of the line
of Charles Jean BernadOtte, who, by n
singular accident, was raised from the
station of a simple burgher 10 that of u
marshal in Napoleon's army. At the
death of Charles MIL, the parliament
of Sweden chose Marshal Bernadotte
to succeed him, and he assembled the
throne under the name of Charles NV.
He had wit enough to cut aloof from the
emperor when the latter rushed on his
doom, and thus at the reconstruction
which followed he retained his crown
and beQueathed it to his son, Oscar ].
That polite monarch managed to keep
out of the Schleswig-Holstein dispute,
and retained the good will of both Prus-
STA and Denmark; so he died at peace
with all men, though sorely stricken
in body, in the year 1859. He was sue
Cecded by his son, Charles XIV, who
united Sweden and Norway, and reigned
till 1872, when the present sovereign as
cended the throne.
The duties of reigning are not con-
genial to Oscar II. He is poet, mu
stefan and a man of science. He has
written many books, some of which are
as good as if they had not been written
by king. He wrote drama in French,
which has been played to full houses.
He is a corresponding member of the
Frankfort academy of sciences. His
memoir of Charles MI. holds a high
place in historical literature.
The task which fell upon his Shout
ders was one which might have APP
palled less intrepid soul. He had TO

PETS RIDE BICYCLES.
Cats, Dogs and Monkeys Which Enjoy a
Spin on the Wheel.

The bicycle and the pet animal have
come into jUXtaposition and the re-
suit is the appearance of various sorts
of riders such as the average bicycle
manufacturers never made any allow
ance for. Cats, dogs, monkeys and even
parrots are now members of the
'world-a-wheel," and the bicycle ami
NAL is rapidly becoming almost as pop
ular an institution as the wheel itself.
1t is a custom begun, perhaps, more
as a joke than in earnest, but it is a
joke which has been developed into
sober-minded fact. Those persons who
were accustomed to take their pets
with them for walk or a drive now
carry them on their daily spin, perched
on the handlebars or the riders Shout
ders, or comfortably curled in bas-
ket.
One of the first of the bicycle animals
was a parrot whose owner lives in Chi
cago. During the summer it was a Gus
tomary thing to see the bird clinging
to the handlebars of the machine, TURF
ing its head from side to side, appar-
emily so as to miss none of the scenery
and seemingly enjoying the trip as
much as the rider behind.
The pioneer in the sport, however,
il is claimed, was cat living in Dor
chester. Boston. Indeed. cats. seem TO

be the greatest riders among animal
pets, for there are number OF them
that have gone on record as expert
cyclists. The cat is the property of
Aleds Perkins, who takes more pride
in its accomplishments than in her own
advanced age of 12 years, and claims
that the cat is never so happy as when
bowling along over smooth road
perched on its mistress shoulder.
Other cats have cultivated the same
taste. A quartette of them belonging to
Edwin and Ernest Warren, of Montvale,
Mass, have made as good a record.
They ride in a cage attached to handle
bars or on the riders shoulders.
A black cat of Danville, KY, owned
by w. G. Proctor, has made a reputa-
ton as scorcher. No pace is too swift
for it. The more speed the rider puts
on the better the cat likes it, and al
most any evening it can be seen on

tions which had been artifcially put
together in harness, and whose aims
and temper are as far apart as the poles.
He had to contend against such political
foes as Ibsen and Bjornsen. The latter
once actually challenged the king TO
mortal combat. He had to handle three
houses of parliament-two in Sweden,
one in Norway. There has hardly been
day in his reign when he did not need
TO remind himself of his own apothegm
"A king must ever know how to sub
ordinate all the inclinations of his char
a"ter, however legitimate, to the ex-
igencies of political policy"
Whenever he could, Oscar has sought
relief from the cares of public business
in his country house, in the sound of
HelsiDgborg. There, with his wife. the
beautiful and gifted. Sophia of Nassau.
and their four stalwart boys, he has led
the life of a studious country gentle
man, working out problems in arctic
navigation and writing verses on pas
toral themes. There they sit at an

Dromedary and Camel Speed.

The speed Of the camel is greatly ex-
aggerated by writer's, both of history and
fiction. The most accurate informa-
ton shows the speed of the camel to be
about three miles an hour. The swift
est dromedaries do not exceed ten miles
an hour, but the pace can be kept up for
20 hours without rest. A lightly load
ed camel will take, with the same foot,
about 50 strides minute, each one av-
eraging seven feet.

The Mississippi Still Rising.

ST. LOUIS, March 20.-The warning
sent out by the goYernme ent signal service
yesterday that the Mississippi river and
all its tributaries would continue to rise
has been filled to the letter. The COM
munication with the flooded section has
become difficult, but dispatches received
from widely separated points show that
all have suffered alike. It is estimated
that a section of country with an area
equal to the State Of Missouri is now
under water and that the worst is not
over. Advices from Cairo, Paducah,
Memphis and Helena show that the re-
gion beginning north Of New Madrid,
Missouri, west to and including the val
leys of the st. Francis, the White and
the Arkansas rivers in Arkansas, east In
kentucky and Tennessee, the valleys of
the Tennessee, the Cache, the Obion and
the Yazoo rivers, and south to the Red
river are under water. The intervening
ranges of hills and high ground are the
only place Of refuge. The dispatches
lost, stock drowned and a country desc
reached so 9 snd rising slowly which is
but one foot short Of the high record of
1888. All the country south of there to
Memphis is su bmerged. A relief steamer
from the flats below Birds Point brought
in four families. 1t Is reported that flat
boat containing number of people was
sunk at Island No. 10 All the coal fields
in the valley of Forked Deer river in
Tennessee are under water. The Mem
phis Relief association has five boats at
work. These boats 60 to points that are
90 miles from streams navigable in ordl-
nary stages of water. The unanimous
opinion of st. Louis river men is that
conditions must become verse before
there can be permanent relief. They say
that numerous breaks in the lower levees
are really blessings as they are natural
outlets for the deluge that is certain to
come from the melting SHOWS of the

& 1t seems that Gov. Ellerbe has deter
mined not to restore home rule to the city
of Charleston, Notwithstanding the fact
that the Mayor and eighteen of the twen-
ty-fVe Aldermen Of the city had pledged
themselves to do their utmost in the en-
forcement of the dispensary law. This
action on the part of the Governor, in our
humble opinion, ia the greatest mistake
of his life. The principle Of the metro
politan police law is contrary to the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. 1t is
against the principles of our great Re-
public, and we had hoped that the sys-
tenn would be removed from Charleston.
In the first place, Gov. Ellerbe should
not have required any pledge from the
city government. He should have given
the city officials fair chance, thrown the
responsibility on them for the enforce
ment of the law, and if they had not done
their duty he would have had some ex-
cuse for restoring the metropolitan police
system, or trying some other plan. The
dispensary law, like any sumptuary law,
is difficult to enforce in large city where
the sentiment of the people in regard to
the law is divided. Any man who will
go to Charleston and take the trouble to
Investigate the matter will see that the
dispensary law is failure there under
the metropolitan police system. 1t cer-
tainly could be no worse under the con-
troll of the city government, especially
when the Mayor and more than two-thirds
ofthe Aldermen had pledged themselves
TO the enforcement of the law.
