WHO OWNS The BIKE?
Mr.. Chambers Seems Unlikely to Call
for Ii.

Mr.. Chambers Seems Unlikely to Call
for Ii.
A bicycle of the vintage of '96 stands
in the bicycle house at police headqnar-
ters with no one to molest it or make it
afraid no one to ride it-indeed owner
less. The last person known to have
had any control over this abandoned
wheel is Mr.. Edward Chambers, colopd
(born that way, and hailing from Talt:-
more, Md.
The recent history of the wheel is in
teresting. Baltimore seems to be place
where the biker and his wheel are soon
parted; for scarcely day passes that
Chief Dolan dosen't receive from one to
half a dozen dispatches, asking him to
look out for man on wheel, the
wheel being the property of some one i'll
the said town, and the man being de-
scribed as an individual five feet some
inches tall two foot wide and white. black,
green, yellow or red, as the case may be.
Two officers are then sent to the
State road, where they seize the first
man who comes along on wheel, and
if he looks like man who has no right
to ride, off he goes to Jail until the mat
ter can be thoroughly thought over.
Sooner or later, if the wheel don't fit
anybody else, he's turned loose again,
just as it happens.
About the sixth of the present month.
Mr.. Edward Chambers, colored, as afore-
said, was riding in the direction Of VIII
mington on wheel. Mr.. Chambers had
started from somewhere, and his
destination appears to have been
anywhere. At any rate he
wasn't much astonished when they
took him to headquarters and locked
him in one place and his wheel in an
another. Chambers said little. He took
his arrest gracefully; and when, after
three days, he was released, Chief Dolan
asked him where he got his wheel,
Chambers said he had bought it on the
ins allment plan OF the Magee Bicyc'e
Company, Of Baltimore, raid that COM
pany SS and still owed them $40. Mr..
Dolan told him to come back next
day (which would have been Thurs
day. at 2 o'clock and get his
wheel. Meanwhile he wrote to the Ma
gee people at Baltimore. They replied
that they hadn't sold the wheel, didn't
know Mr.. Chambers, and that none of
their wheels were missing
Chambers has never came back for the
wheel, and so it is still at headquarters,
with none to molest it or make it afraid.
Mr.. Chambers doesn't seem to want it,
the city can't conscientiousy sy keep it, and
there you are.

Mr.. JACK BROWN-HlS PANTS.
How = Question May be Asked Once
Too Often.

The nervous system Of susceptible
and sensitive dog should not be trif1ed
with. So says Mr.. JACK Brown, OF Mar
tins stable, corner Third and Orange
Streets, and Mr.. Jack Brown having had
experience, knows.
For some time past, as is now well
known by most Of the friends and all OF
the enemies Of Waldo uhse, the latter
gentleman has been absent from his meals
ut the kirkwood House, which is at the
corner of Third and Shipley Streets. Mr..
Uhse and his dog left about week ago.
Two days ago the dog came back. Mr..
Uhse is still absent.
The dogs feelings, since its return,
have been rutlled by constant queries as
to the whereabouts Of Mr.. Uhse. From
eearly morn to dewy eve, that dog has
been answering the same old que. tion,
addressed to hlm in English, German,
Hebrew. Choctaw and Hog Latin.
Where's Waldo" says everybody.
Damfno," says the dog, land danti-
care"
Last night about 8 y clock, Jack Brown
chief hoetler at Martins stables, stood
opposite the rear end Of the Kirkwood
house, and falling in with Mr.. Chse's
dog, patted the canine on its aching head,
offered it piece Of good beef, and re-
marked that the weather was fine. The
dog knew very well the weather was fine.
AS to the meat, that dog is meat epicure,
and being an Irish setter, prefers wood
cock.
"Where did you leave Waldo?" re-
marked Mr.. Brown.
It's always the last straw that breaks
the camcls back. The dog barked,
growled and made jump for the rear
extension Of Mr.. Browns neither gar
ments. Mr.. Brown made a dive for the
stable entrance, leaving four square inches
of good cloth in the dogs mouth.
Then the dog walked triumphantly
back to the hotel, where it was promptly
s,u e and lock, d in a a k ROT m.
Mr.. Brown can recover the piece OF
cloth by calling at the kirkwood House,
proving property, and paying for this
advertisement.

carried from that hospital daily, every
one containg a dead Spanish soldier, and
the bell Of that little church never
ceases to ring. Every day for two weeks
while | was there, ! counted at least
twenty-five of these boxes, and yet
the fever epidemic at Havana
was almost over, and was nevcr
as bad as it was reported in other parts
Of the island.
IL have spoken with every kind Of
Spaniard and Spanish sympathizcr in
Cuba and with such officers Of the army
as my relations justified me in speaking
to openly. The poorer classes in Havana
are ignorant and indifferent. The opin-
ion of all the better classes is that the
war must soon end, and that it can end
only in one way-by the victory Of tie
Cubans. They realize that Spain cannot
carry on the present wars in Cuba and
the PHILIPPINES much longer, with the
menace Of prospective Carlist uprisings
and revolutions at home. And they see
daily evidence OF her incapacity to deal
with the Cuban difficulties alone. As the
war cannot 60 on thus forever, the only
solution left is peace by the abandon
ment OF Cuba.
"Thc sounds of war and battle are to be
heard every night In Havana. The dar-
ing of the insurgents is phenomenal. In
September last on previous visit, the
centre town was startled one night by
the sound of firing. The insurgents had
attacked detachment Of Spanish troops
at small fishing town near the entrance
to the bay of Havana. The little garrison
fell back before the desperate attack and
was pursued through the woods far past
the city of Havana. The fighting lasted
almost all night, the Spaniards losing
two officers and number of men, while
SO far ascould be learned the insurgents
lost not man. The object of the attack
was mystery at first but the reason
was learned the next morning, when it
became apparent that the Cubans
had landed an expedition on the shore
while the fighting was going on almost
under the guns of Moro Castle.
"The condition Of even the more for
tunate classes in Havana is not envabe.
Provisions Of all sorts bring high prices,
and some cannot be obtained at any
price. A pound of beef is worth -: and
milk is an imposibiIity. \ meal at the
hotel is worth a small fortune. ldlcrs,
loafers and spies abound everywhere in
the city, and make life almost unbearablc.
Americans, particularly, as you well
know, are viewed with much suspicion.
A trihing remark, and expression OF
sympathy with starving people, word
in short and, presto, its author dlSap-
pears behind the ramparts of the fortress
at Cabaras. With all this, there is no
apprehension that the Cuban forces will
attack, or attempt to destroy the city "I
Havana itself.
"They have repeatedly invaded Guam
aEac,a. few miles from Havana and
lIIcd the town with CONSERVATION, the
flash and report Of the rifles having Eccn
plainly seen and heard in Havana Itself.
Back Of Tie city The firing is almost con-
,inua,. 1t is, Of coarse, pore plainly

Money.
RICHMOND, VA, Aug. IL, 1897.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. II, 1897.
1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to a return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts? We have'a
conservative administration. The
country will be governed in fair
ness to the interests of business
men. The tariff question is set
tied. The political situation is
such that nothing adverse can be
done with the currency question
for three years. Liquidation IS
finished. Leading papers in Eu-
rope recognize the deficiency OF
their crops. The United States IS
the only country in a position to
furnish necessary supplies Ex-
change has dropped sharply. Sc
curities have advanced handsome
~. Reactions are natural, healthy
and to be expected. The market
declined this week from one 10
three points, but promptly recov-
cred, and is now advancing.
In the great period Of business
revival from 1879 to 1881, when
money was Gearer. securities sold
much higher. Strong people may
combine to sell the market down
to accumulate cheap stocks, but
the future is bright with promise,
and in Our opinion all good securi-
ties are a purchase. There rarely
comes an occasion so favorable for
the making of money.
