ALMOST SECOND NATURE.
Cyclists Unoonseiousiy Follow the Rules of
 the Road When walking.


 You can tell q bicycle rider by his walk. Not because of a peculiarity of gait, but for the reason that he uneon- sciously follows tho rules of the road that he has learned while riding D bi~ cycle.
 On the sidewalks of the crowded streets of New York and Brooklyn 3 gentleman whose acquaintance among bicycle riders is quite extensive has, as matter of curiosity. watched his cy- cling friends walking to and from busi ness Almost without exception they pass to the right when meeting othes pedestrians and to the left when pass ing them from behind. When turning a corner, the pedestrian who has learned to cycle hugs the wall closely if going to the right and Is almost sure to make a long turn if bound to the left.
 If all pedestrians would observe the rules of the road on the sidewalks as we'll as tho experienced cyclists observe them on the highways, there would be fewer toes trampled upon and fewer persons nudged in the ribs by protrud- ing and sharp elbows.
 There is nothing more annoying to the participants and nothing more Imaginable to tho spectator than to sec two persons dancing up and down and taking a series of side steps because both started to pass each other in the wrong direction.
 The bicycle is unconsciously teach ing people how best to keep out of each others way Any one who does not think the result is sure to be beneficial ought to attempt to stem Q crowd eom- ing from theater or crossing tho bridge at rush hours. There will be no polish left on the rash individual shoes, there will be mud stains on his garments, and 8 feeling of deep, bitter resentment against all mankind in his bosom. --- New York Journal.

Leather and Kerosene.

There is one use of kerosene which is seldom mentioned It often happens that when a heavy shoe or boot has been wet it hardens and draws so that it hurts the foot If the shoe is put on and the leather thoroughly wet with kerosene, the stiffness will disappear and the leather become pliable, adapt. ing itself to the foot. If oiled while wet, the leather retains its softness a longer time. The kerosene does not in- jure tho leather at all.

MY LA0Ys SECRET.

Ny lady aiwaya smiled-not much to do, Bnt when the hours and dnys increase in
 care, And dreariness and weariness pursue, When youth and love grow dim in backward
 view,
 And life is but to bear and still forbear, An, then, her gentle sweetness, undecided By years of bitterness, shone forth. She smiled, My lady always smiled, ir life and death. Some envied her a life that seemed all smiles, And some cried out or caught a sobbing breath. Self pitying, and God and man reyiled, But some, to sorrow's burden reconciled, We're glad the gladness of her face to see Through toil and care and heartless apathy. But when they laid my lady with the flowers To sleep, where wake . thousand smiling

HOUSE ACTS ON
OLEOMARG
Public Must Be Told of the
Real Character of the
Stuff.
Spirited Debate on the Rights of
States Under the Con-
stitution.
The Bill Passed Makes Oleomargarine
Subject to the Laws of
All the States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 14.-When
the House met this morning many men,
bers waited impa tiehtly in their seats for
business to begin. Each had printed
COPY of some bill in his hand eagerly
hoping to get 1t through under the unani-
nous consent rule. When the journal
had been read score OF members were on
their feet crying for recognition, and
business went along merrily for
while. mum Der of private pension and
other minor bills were passed.
Fitzgerald CD of Missouri called for
the passage of bill requiring the Secre-
tary of the Navy to furnish an estimate
for putting the frigate Constitution in
condition to make the journey from
Portsmouth, N. H., to Washington, to be
used as naval museum.
A bill increasing to $50 the pension OF
Martha Carter, widow of Rear Admiral S.
P. Carter, U. S. N, went through without
objection, but later on Loud (R.) of Cali
fornia stated that If his attention had not
been distracted at the time the bill was
read he would have objected to it, as he
had consistently done with regard to all
measures making extraordinary increases
of pensions to widows of officers. He
trusted that in future gentlemen on the
floor would not distract him at such
times. The bill granting pension to
Mary S. Higgins of Johnston, Pa. widow
of Colonel Jacob S. Higgins, veteran of
the Mexican and Civil Wars, was passed.
The bill discussed yesterday to make
oleomargarine and all other imitation
dairy products subject to the laws OF the
State or Territory into which they are
transported was called up by Grout (R.)
of Vermont and discussed by Cooper CD
of Florida and Tucker CD of Virginia in
opposition, and Northway (R.) of Ohio
and Morse (R.) of Massachusetts, in favor
of it. The opposition was on the ground
that the bill provided an interference with
the power of Congress to regulate inter-
State commerce. The right OF a State 20
prevent the importation to its boundaries
of product which the laws of that State
prohibited was the basis for the arguments
in its favor.
Lacey (R.) of Iowa maintained that
under the present laws oleomargarine was
imported into the States, the stamped
covers removed and the imitation sold as
real butter by the retail dealers. Cannon
(R.) OF Illinois vigorously protested
against any attempt to put oleom argarine
out OF the market entirely. Haines (R.)

LONDON, Eng, Jan. IA Edward R.
Taylor, alias Arthur w. Plat, who was

rant obtained through the United States
embassy charging him with the murder Of
lessee Tyree in Kentucky in 1885, and who
has several times since been arraigned in
the Bow-street Police Court upon proceed.
ings looking to his extradition to America,
was arraigned in that court this morning.
Sir John Bridge, the presiding magis-
trate, said that he did not regard the doc
umentary evidence in the case which has
been forwarded here from America as SUI
icient to justify Taylor's extradition to
the United States, and in consequence ad-
ditional evidence has been cableu for.
Upon his first arraignment Taylor virtu-
ally admitted the crime with which he is
charged, but he now denies it. Pending
the arrival of further evidence Taylor was
remanded for another week.

OF Nebraska, In support OF the bill, main
tanned that oleomargarine always mas
queraded in the garb of butter.
In opposing the measure Boatner ID. of
Louisiana contended that tie bill was in
opposition TO that section of the constitu-
ton guaranteeing the rights of every State
in its relations with the others, and If it
was not for that provision the country
would be split up into forty-tive separate
governments.
Williams CD of Alabama spoke against
the bill. Grout called for the reading of
the bill by paragraphs to permit the offer
ing of amendments. The first was offered
by Tucker Cd. of Virginia, and Morse (R.)
OF Massachusetts moved to strike out the
last word in order to make defense of the
manufacturers of Massachusetts against
whose integrity insinuations had been
made during the debate on the bill. His
plimentary references were applauded.
Torrey Cd of Arkansas contended that
the bill granted discriminating powers to
the States in violation Of the constitution.
Tucker called for a division on his
amendment, which would completely
disemb bowel the BILL to quote Mr.. Grout,
and it was lost-123 to SO.
An amendment was adopted providing
that oleomargarine in transit should not
be subject to the police power OF any State
through which it might pass.

by Henderson r. of Iowa. He produced
a telegram from the Dairy Commissioner
of Iowa asking the delegation II Congress
from that State to support the measure.
The Iowa delegation did not need such
urging. 1t had been made to appear, he
said, that the talIow and lard interests
were against the bill. Every dairy in the
district was for it. He was in favor OF any
measure that unmasked deception. He
said the opposition to The bill came from
the great cattle interests of Chicago and
Kansas City, from Mr.. Armour and Mr..
Swift, who kept down the price of cattle
to the injury of the farmers and stock
raisers OF the West.
Grout then moved the previous ques-
ton, which was ordered. An amendment
providing that nothing in the act should
be construed to forbid the sale of oleo-
margarine except in such a manner as
would advise customers of its real charac-
ter was agreed to. A motion for the third
reading of the bill was carried by rising
vote, 122 to SO. The ayes and noes were
demanded, and the bill was ordered to
third reading by vote Of 127 ayes, SO
noes. The bill was then passed without
division.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, Jan. 14.-The
Princess de Chimay, who eloped short
time ago with a Hungarian gypsy named
Ianos Rigo has written letter to the
Pesth Naplou. requesting that paper to
deny recently circulated reports that she
has engaged herself to give public per-
formances on the stage in connection with
Rigo.
She and Rlgo, the Princess writes, will
start to-day for Africa, where they hope to
find quiet and freedom from the annoy
ances to which they have been subjected
by morbidly curious public. The Prin-
cess and her paramour, Rigo, left this city
for Nice to-day. Their departure was very

Union Pacific had made an offer to the
Government that they would take the
roads by paying not only the debt of
$4,000, 900, but $4,000 900 or $15, 900, 900 in
excess Johnson expressed the opinion
that it was "a newspaper story"
His information from New York by wire
this morning was to the effect that there
was no truth in the report. His informa-
ton must have come from Huntington,
though Johnson did not say so. The Con-
gresham said the report was absurd for
several reasons. First-Why should any
syndicate pay so much more than the debt
actually amounted to? Second-No officer
OF the Government is authorized to accept
any such proposition. The road can only
be sold under the hammer to the highest
bidder.
After foreclosure suits are ended, unless
Congress shall provide another method,
Congress has absolute control over the
roads. In this connection the Evening
Times repeats the story of a contemplated
syndicate purchase as follows:
The report is current at the capitol
this afternoon that the reorganization
committee of the Union Pacific Railroad
has reached an understanding with Presi-
dent Cleveland on an upset price for the
road
"Should the Government decide to make
appearance in the foreclosure suits now
pending, Ex-Governor Hoadley. who is
special counsel for the Govern ment, has
signified his desire to file cross bill in
suits now in progress which, it is claimed,
give the Government the amount above
the first mortgage, which might reach as
high as $40 900, 000"
This mornings Post says: "Mr. Hun
| tington a few days ago arranged with
| Speyer & Co. for the payment of all the
defaulted interest upon the first mortgage
Central Pacific bonds. Quite an amount
of interest was in default, but having
cleared it all off, MIR. Huntington is now
in no danger of a foreclosure proceedin g
from his first mortgages of that road.
| "1n this way he has gained at least a
years time, for there are many obstacles
to successful foreclosure to the Govern
ment's lien without the cooperation OF
the first mortgage bondhoiders. The
other bondholders having no claims that
are due and IN default, are debar-ed from
appearing in court.

Judge Mcguire said this morning: 1--WE
will oppose the Bell bill and also the Har-
rlson bill for Pacific Railroad commits
sion. 1t looks very much like Hunting
| ton has now abandoned his hope of
passing refunding bill and will press
the Harrison bill for commission,

to dictate or control. There is no need for
further action by Congress except the
passing of the AttorneyG Generals bill pro-
viding that the foreclosure suits shall be
brought in the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia"

Prefers n Commission TO GOUernni e1lt
ForecIosWre.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.-As tel
egraphed exclusively to THE CALL last
night, Huntington, realizing the futility
of attem ptlng to pass refunding bill will
now seek to have Congress pass the bill
introduced in the House by Representa-
tive Harrison of Alabama, and in the Sem
ate by Gear, chairman of the Senate Pa
cihc Railroads Committee. providing for
the appointment of a commission to settle
the Pacific roads debts
An interview telegraphed to The CALL
last night expressed the views of Chair
man Powers of the House committee.
There is no doubt that Huntington at last
realizes the hopelessness of endeavoring to
secure the passage of the refunding bill.
A measure offered by Bell of Texas as a
substitute for the Powers refunding scheme
provides that if the Government could be
given a first mortgage, instead of the sec
ond lien it now holds, the debt should be
extended for period of years at per
cent interest, instead of per cent as
stipulated in the Powers bill.
The Harrison bill and the Bell measure

to-day. Huntington does not favor the
Bell proposition, for he realizes how diff
cult it would be to gain the consent of
those who are now the first bondholders
10 make their securities a second lien on
the road instead of first, and probably the
only way this could be accom- plished
would be to give them lien on the South
ern Pacific property. Huntington favors
the bill for commission as the best thing
for him under the circumstances.

Crater of English High Society Liable to

LONDON, ENG, JAN 14-Half a dozen
stories are in circulation concerning the
underlying motives that prompted the
bitterness and severity manifested by
Justice Hawkins toward Lady Scott and
her co-defendants during the now famous
trial last week, but the nature of one and
all OF them is of a character that torbids
their finding their way into print even in
CLOSED language.
1t seems to be generally accepted that
strong influence antagonistic to the de-
PENDANTS was brought to bear upon the
court at the instance of certain parties IN
high station, who had reasons to fear that
their own families would become involved
were Lady Scott acquitted and thus prac-
tically given free license to go still deepe
into the scandals of which Earl Russell is
the center figure, and only the outside
crust of which, it is asserted, has SO far
been touched.
AS it is, however, she was compelled be-
fore the passing OF sentence to give
an undertaking to stop her stirring OF the
hideous mess, and as consequence there
are a good many people that breathe
easier. So far as Earl Russell Is concerned,
the outcome, instead of being regarded as
vindication, is generally considered ar
additional condemnation.
The earnest assertions of Cockerton and
Aylott that everything they had stated
against the Earl was true, reiterated as
they were a moment before sentence was
passed, and with the knowledge that the
insistence of the defendants might add to
the severity of the sen tence, has created a
profound impression; and hereafter, ex
cept to his own small circle of intim ates,
Earl Russell will be very much of an Ish.

FLEEING FROM THE PLAGUE.
Even Physicians Leaving Bombay Through
Fear of Catching the Deadly
Cnninninn

BOMBAY, INDIA, Jan. 14.-It is esti-
mated that over 500, 600 persons, comprls-
ing more than half the population of the
city, have fed to the country to escape
the plague.
The streets are practically deserted !;
shops and bazaars are closed and business
is practically at standstill. The doctors
are beginning to fear treating plague pa
tents lest they contract the disease and
many OF the native doctors have fed.
About 100000 persons ara encamped at
Andheri, but they will not be able to re-
main there long owing to the scarcity of
water and the unsanitary conditi pre-
vailing.
Up to last night the official statistics
showed that there were 3349 cases of
the plague and 1926 deaths from the
disease
