KEEP OPEN FOR THE CYCLISTS
There Are Roadhouses whose Doors
Arc Never Closed During the
wheeling senson.

Wheeling may be on the wane, as has
been asserted by many person in and
out Of the trade of late, yet there are
numbers of wayside roadhouses where
edibles and drinlables are sold that
are never closed. These establish
ments are kept open that the early
rider or century man may not be left
without means of allaying thirst or
hunger. In fact, the man who investi-
gated while making an early run the
other day was surprised TO note the
number Of such places open to all com
ers. He wanted TO know more, so while
absorbing q refreshing glass he asked
the attendant at popular South side
resort Il it paid.
II cannot say that Il pays" was the
reply, but If we don't keep open
others will and we are forced by COM
petition to do so. Many persons start
out on long rides in the early morns
ing, thus lodging wagons, crowds and
other unpleasant features of bicycle
riding, and il is to this class we cater,
Then, again, our places are for the
most part open and we had TO employ
Waterman to guard the tables, chairs
and other articles which could not be
stored away each night, so we con-
cluded that it would be simpler to keep
a couple Of walters and plenty of edi-
bles on hand and serve our customers
all night. Another thing is that many
century runs are undertaken at night,
when there can be no unpleasant inter-
ruptions, and we are always called
upon to serve the participants.
"There is nothing more grateful in
the early morning to a bicycle rider
than a cup Of hot coffee and we make a
speciality OF that. keeping it hot and
strong all night. 1t also serves to tone
down The reveler who has been out on
his wheel all night celebrating and
needs a tonic to brace up on before
going home. Yes, we must keep open
and we shall continue to do so until
the snow falls and the bicycle is laid
away to rest and rust. 1t is an innova-
ton this year, but it will be q lasting
one. We have a bicycle repair shop
attached to this place, which is also
kept open all night, and we have many
calls for the services of our mechanic
to repair wheels. It saves many long
walk trundling a wheel to have a bike
shop on the road ready to repair
wheels or stop up punctures. "-Chica'

TO PREVENT COAL rHEFTs.
A Mine Owners Clever Device to Pro-
tect Himself from POtty
PiIferers.

{ The stealing of coal on railroads is
very active industry. In districts where
railroad Nompetition is brisk the roads
fnd it worth their while 10 stand the
loss due to thefts of coal from their
cars. In other districts, where mines
are scarce and brand of coal is we'll
advertised. the dealers will stand the
loss. In other districts, again, as in the
state of Kentucky, where mines are
humorous and the competition is heavy,
the onus of the thefts falls on the mine
operator. A large mine owner, who
had to bear losses of this kind finally
bethought himself of q practical plan
of stopping them. lie built car con-
sisting of an ordinary gondola car, COW
cred by a sectional roof, divided into
four folding doors upon each side of
the car, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The doors are so equipped that they
can be turned back, one at time, or
convenient for loading. When the car
is loaded, the doors are locked and
sealed by one operation. The car is
then weighed and is sure of being de-
livered and paid for at mine weight.
Protection is also thus given the coal
from rain, ice and snow, and the train
crew are not under the necessity OF
climbing over an open loaded car Of
coal in doing their work. The unload
ing is perfectly simple. The doors are
thrown back. each in turn, as the un-
loading progresses. Should the car
not be fully unloaded at night, the
doors can be closed and locked by pad
lock, and it can be left on the track I'M
til daylight without fear of thieves.

SHADES OF MEANING.

"But dear is unquestionably term
of endearment," she protested.
"And yet" he asserted, 'its absence

preached the superlative degree"
"In measure it does" he admitted;
'hut much depends upon the circum-
stances and the persons involved. If
an old gentleman writing to you adj
dresses you as Dear Miss Brown, that
is distinctly formal, while If he says:

trifle patronizing and fatherly, and to
that extent is more friendly. But il

"Then let me illustrate" he said,

about to point out some little error or
bit of foolishness? But If I should say
Dear Girl how about that? Does II

case?"

gested, again blushing, "why might
you not say: Dearest Grip"
'1The superlatives are used so mrch
by some Americans" he said, "that
they lose much of their force and often
do not seem to have the strength

attempt to put them n the suporla

detract from rather than add to theil

.wHITE TRAIN" FOR LoURDEs
Some of the Touching Sights That
Are Seen len Route TO
the shrine.

What is called the white train" left
Paris the other afternoon from the
Orleans railway terminus, says a for
eign exchange. This conveys annually
numbers Of cripples and invalids on a
pilgrimage to Lourdes, where they
hope TO be cured of their ailments
through the miraculous agency Of tha
Virgin Mary. The station presented
an animated appearance all the after
noon. Touching sights were witnessed
when sisters of mercy arrived, carry
ing crippled children or helping in
firm and aged pilgrims 10 alight from
the ambulance carriages. The white
train" properly so called, which is that
conveying the most helpless inyalids
among the Lourdes pilgrims and the
luggage van Of which was surmounted
hy a white flag, left at $3.50 o'clock.
These pilgrims, 800 in number, were
accompanied by nuns and by profess
sional and lady nurses. Other trains
followed in the course of the after
loon and will continue to be sent of.
Ii is estimated that IA trains will be
required in all, and that the total num-
Der of pilgrims at Lourdes this year
will reach $4,000.

CLEVER WAY TO OBTAIN GIFTS
Why II Is Not quite Clear That wom-
en- Should DO This Sort
of Thing.

Men, as a rule. do not desire to pre-
sent handsome souvenirs 90 women who
have been gracious to them, but women
who intend to obtain certain things do
not hesitate TO maneuver, says the New
York Press. An instance of this kind
occurred recently, and in this way;
Having accepted an invitation for a
matinee, a charming girl found upon ar
irving at the theater that she had no
fan. The air, TO her, being intolerably
stuffy, she insisted upon going to shop
near by to get one. She was accom-
panied by man of the party, and after
choosing a fan she had decided upon
days before excuses followed about pay
ing for it. What could the poor man
do? He paid for the fan and swore at
himself for being trapped. within the
next month this same charmingly in
nocent maiden obtained n handsome
smelling bottle in the same way. But
later on the two men discussed this af-
fair over 3. and S. at their clubs. They
have ceased their visits at the house of
the young woman, but she goes on col
Letting from other men friends in the
same ingenious way.
just why girls prefer this way of ac-
cumulating small luxuries is not quite
clear, because those who follow this
scheme are in position to buy, or have
bought for them in their own families,
the same articles they take from men.

heroic Work Of our Naval niidEets9


A conspicuous feature Of our naval
operations is the astonishing work
performed by the small craft in the
regular and auxiliary squadrons. In
bold captures and effective fighting the
pleasure yachts, tugs, revenue cutters
and lighthouse tenders that were
hastily converted into war craft have
excited the wonder Of the naval world
at large. With ornaments OF one,
three and six-pounders, and Colt and
Maxim machine guns. these saucy lit
tie vessels have held their own with
the ponderous cruisers and battle
ships. The feat of the Gloucester, for
merly the pleasure yacht Corsair, in
destroying the torpedo boat destroy
ers Pluton and Furor during Cervera' s
fight from Santiago de Cuba, was one
Of the most remarkable in naval an
mails. The Eagle, Hawk, ManRrove and
other small craft have deeds TO their
credit of corresponding Importance
The great utility Of these naval mid
gets has been demonstrated under
most acute and thrilling circum-

Citizens Meeting at Republican Hall This
 Evening.

Many of our best citizens have be- come very much interested in the movement of the local Y. M. c. A. to secure one thousand new members, and a mass meeting has been arranged to be held tonight at the Young Mems Republican club hall. General E. E. Bradley will preside. The following will be vice presidents: Mayor F. B. Farnsworth, B. R. English, John B. Darlington, Willis E. Miller, Colonel N. G. Osborn, Colonel Charles Pickett, James Graham, James T. Moran, Gen. eral s. P. Merwin. c. s. Mersick, T.. Attwater Barnes, s. H. Mosely, Judge James Bishop, Jerome Donovan, Max Adler, Henry G. Newton, Stephen A. Howe, F. G. Stoddard, Professor Ed win s. Dana, Hon. A. Heaton Robert son, Philo s. Bennett and Professor w.. E. Chandler.
 T. P. Day, general secretary of the Waterbury Y. M. c. A., has been se- cured and will tell what the citizens of Waterbury did to assist them in their campaign. Eleven hundred mem bers were secured. business men, bank CTS, workingmen and clerks uniting in the work. Walter Holmes, the chair man of the membership committee in Waterbury, will be present to tell how they did it. Considerable enthusiasm has prevailed among the members of the local association and their efforts are meeting with good success. Some of our well known business men are also working to boom the membership and place the association ahead of others in the state, the place it should naturally occupy. A campaign song, will You Be One of a Thousand?" will be sung by the Y. M c. A. Glee club at the meeting tonight. The as- sociation is in a very prosperous con- dition at present, the new members are coming in more rapidly than at any time in the history of the organization, and it will not be long at the present rate of increase before the association will be crowded out of it's rooms into larger quarters. The class in elocu- tion has membership of forty-four | and is progressing finely under the ex- cellent instruction of Mrs. Sargent The Bible class has increased to over fifty members and Is growing rapidly.
