were all marvels OF the most recent ideas OF

together without the slightest intimation or

composing the investigatingb board gradually

this was the first in,imation that the Lowell

statement that the Lowell Diamond is the
best bicycle built Is based upon the fact
that every part of the machine is made at
their own factory Previous to and inc,ll-
ing 1896 the machine hearing the name
Of the Lowell Diamond was manufactured
for the John =. Lowell Arms Co. by out
side parties. but beginning with the season
OF 1897, every part OF every machine bearing
their name plate has been constructed at the
factory OF the John Z. Lowell Arms Co. at
south Portland. Manc. This fact easily
accounts for the proven supremacy of the

Frederick Keppel's mother, who
died of heart disease suddenly at her
home here a few days ago, was an
interesting woman. She was the
daughter of an Irish Methodist
minister, while her husband, John
Keppel, was descendant of Admiral
Keppel of Engli ii fame, though
Dutch ancestry. Although 81 years
old at her death, she had perfect COM
mand of her faculties, and had kept
abreast of the times in all matters.
She was so rigid Republican in
politics that when her children
urged her to save her strength, they
were won't to threaten to vote the
Democratic ticket next election
which always brought her to terms.
Many interesting anecdotes are told
of her. as when she drove burglars
out of the house by coming down
stairs with lighted lamp, and pre-
vented an angry st. Bernard dog
from attacking children by seizing the
creature by the throat and holding
him until he was secured. These
things happened in her extreme age,
and to the very last she could recite
volumes of poetry. This vigorous,
acute and interesting old lady didn't t
believe in woman suffrage.

President John A. Mccall of the
New York Life Insurance company
makes an utterance which presents Il
fine example of American patriotism
He announces i'll simple terms that
holders of policies of life insurance
in his company may consider them
selves released from the restriction
which forbides them to engage in
military service. This magnificent
organization voluntarily valves and
sets aside tn clause in its
policies which provides that the
holder shall not enlist in the army or
navy in time Of war, and it gives the
further assurance that it will not even
he necessary for the policy owner to
apply for this release, the company
granting it in full and without reser-
vation. For this patriotic and gener-
ous action President Mccall deserves
and will receive the grateful approval
OF the entire country. 1t means that
if war must come no policy holder in
the New York Life will sacrifice one
lot Of tlttlc ol his rights ana INTERESTS
by enlisting for the defense Of
his country. 1t means that this cor
poration which Mr.. McCall's genius
and enterprise have placed among the
very foremost trust institutions OF the
world stands shoulder to shoulder
with the people in supporting the gov
crnment. 1t is n brave, honorable and
impressive net, and it will command
increasing admiration for the coura-
geous spirit that conceived and exc
cnted it. The first place on the honor
roll of great organizations responding
to the demands of the present national
crisis belongs to the New York life
Insurance company.

ham. The company, it is
stated, has made preparation to put
in use more than 1000 cabs. One
hundred of these have already been
contracted for and are now under con-
struction. Some of them are almost
done, and it is expected that within
ninety days all of them will be on the
streets. The old quarters of the
MichauX Cycle club at Broadway,
Fifty-third street and Seventh avenue,
have been leased. and the new cabs
will be housed there for the present.
Eventually stations will be established
at convenient points throughout the
city. The new company has
close relations with the Elec-
THE Storage Battery company
of Philadelphia, who are said to en-
Joy practical monopoly of tie stor-
age battery business in this country
They plan also to build carriages of
various kinds, omnibuses and delivery
wagons, which will be sold outright.
The battery for the new cabs will
weigh about 1900 pounds and will run
two motors, each of one and half
horse.l over. The broughams will
have four horsepower motors. At
present the batteries on the
thirteen cabs in use are charged
from the lighting companies wires,
but when the new cabs are placed in
service the company will probably in
stall its own generators. No reliable
statistics on the cost of maintaining
aud operating motor cabs have yet
been collected. At present the cabs
charge the usual city rates, fixed by
the city, but the prediction is made
that when the full plant is in opera
tiun the motor cabs will lie able to
cat rates to an extent at least suli-
cient to give them large share OF
business.

Trolley cars are running less than
fifty feet apart on the Brooklyn bridge
during the rush hours of the morning,
but for all that cyclists manage to use
the roadway as they did before the
trolley invasion. The riders fall in
behind car, using the latter for
pace. 1t is a dangerous proceeding,
but as there is nothing else to do the
riders make the best OF disagreeable
situation. The struggle to induce the
bridge authorities to do something
for the accommodation of cyclists has
not been given up, however.
Horseless carriages are a success
here. They have not been long in
nse, but the company, which was re-
Gently reorganized, has found that the
experiment is a paying one, and
though only year has passed since
the first cab came here, the managers
have made arrangements to increase
the number by 100, fifty cabs and
fifty broughams. This will put New
York in the front rank of the cities
that use horseless carriages. London,

in use forty propelled by electricity.
