There is no better proof of the utility
Of a bicycle that the test of actual use,
No usage could be more severe than that
received by the bicycle ridden by the
cycle police of New York city. Seventy
able-bodied men ride these wheels seven
hours a day while on patrol. Their ex-
citing employment consists in regulating
traffic, catching fast riders with stopping
runaways as a frequent diversion. Ac-
cording to the dictates of the municipal
authorities of New York city the Cycle
Squad must only ride on duty that
wheel which has the official endorsement
of the Police Department. Numerous
tests were arranged, in which all of the
leading makes took part. The competition
was keen, and that the Wolff American
was finally decided to be the one best
adapted for the severe usage of the cycle
police is an indication of their worth.

ATLANTA, Ga, May "A Secret marriage

change her status in the world. The par
ties to the romantic affair are Miss Ada
Sheehan, daughter of Proofreader M A.

for secrecy given by the pair is that the

had better get a start in life before claim

ing the fact that the representatives had

While Senator Bacon, having been the

by first suggesting him to the President
supported that gentleman throughout, ne
stated 10 the caucus that Col Wight by

senator Clay stated to the caucus that
ne had already endorsed Gov Atkinson to
the PRESIDENT, assuring him of the Gov
ernors ability and qualifications but that
ne was perfectly willing to go into the
caucus, and would abide by the result
Both ne and Senator Bacon, while they
voted for Col Gordon, will do everything
IN their power for the appointment Of Col
Wight
The President stated to-day that under
no circumstances would he take other
than military man for a generalship
This was said not with regard to Georgia
but the statement was made to a Repub-
hcan senator who was interested in sono
other appointment. He referred, however
to Gov. Taylor of Tennessee and Gov. At
kinson Of Georgia, stating that he would
appoint neither, end added that he was
embarrassed in a somewhat similar way
with regard TO the appointment from Ohio
Gov. Bushnell is urging the appointment
of some gentleman from private life. but
the President is hiding behind the general
rule which he has laid down. To break it
in one case would put him in an embar-
RAISING position.
There was general surprise at the final
action of the caucus Those who were
supporting Col. Gordon felt certain that
when the test came the majority of the
delegation would be for him. The Morning
News correspondent is told that the Pres
ident went so far this morning as to init
mate a desire 10 appoint Col. Gordon, and
that the Savannah man was being very
strongly urged upon him by no less a per-
sonage than the Vice President The re-
suit of the contest is certainly f1attering
to Judge Griggs, who has from the first
handled the cause of his friend and con-
stituent Col. Wight.
Col. Gordons friends in Savannah and
throughout this part of the state have piy-
en- him an active support. His fitness for
the office by reason of military knowledge
and experience, and his ability to command
was recognized, and every effort has been
made to secure his appointment In spite
of the recommendation by a bare majority
of the Georgia congressman of Col Wight
the friends of Col. Gordon have not vet
given UP the hope that he may yet be APP
pointed.

TEST WELLS ARE HIGHLY
SUCCESSFUL.
lNExHAUsTIBLE SUPPLY.
Ata Tr,ninr Cost An Abundance Of Pure
water Can Be Had and Plans Are
ABOUT Completed For tb aiming
the same FROM a chain Of
wens-A uetter water
supp Is Needed.

The crying need Of this city is an
abundant supply OF good water. The
present system is success in every
thing that goes TO make first class
plant except the chief essential
water. The present soure, is wholly
inadequate, and it tecomes necessary
at sundry times during the summer
months, TO turn the creek water into
the mains, and, while this nuid has all
the necessary qualifications for extin
gushing fires and sprinkling lawns, it
leaves much TO be desired as a bever-
age.
The city fathers have had this mat
ter under advisement for some time
and their efforts finally crystalized in
the form OF three test wells that
seem to have solved the pure water
problem for Guthrie for all time z to
come. Under the direction OF the
waterworks committee three wells
have been put down, contiguous to
the pump house, and at a depth Of
ninety feet an abundant supply Of
pure, soft water has been found.
These wells were sunk by Biggs 4
Saunders, Ere eight inches in diameter
and on test made by Water works
Engineer Grant Gorton, covering n
period OF twenty-five hours, one OF the
wells yielded water at the rate OF 4is
gallons per hour, with no signs Of
dimiunition in the supply. The others
are fully as good.
The needs OF the sity for all pur-
poses amounts 10 100000 gallons for
each twcnty-four hours. The commit
tee has determined that fifty OF these
wells, at reasonebi : distance apart,
and all connected with pipe, will furn-
ish this supply all ,he year round and
leave fair margin for extra emer-
gencies. The proposed systec. can be
completed in thirty days and the an
noyance Of creek water or no water
eittiriey done away with.
Now as TO the cost City Clerk De
Clon has letters In his possession fcom
zone of iha most responsible firms in
tht United States, agreeing to come
here, put down the wells, furnish the
latest improved machinery, complete
the entire system, and guarantee an
abundant water supply, said system
TO be satisfactory and unfailing or
they are not to } eccive a cent.
TIE city has been figuring with the
following results: The wells will cost
about $500; the machinery, S2,10O;
tho tank about 81 600, and the tubing
and extras, about $500 more, or S6, 900
in all. or course this latter plan is
at the city's risk and may cost more
than here given.
1t Is gratifying TO be able to an
ncunce that the entire levy for the
year is available for this improvement,
as the revenue from the water works
up 10 May has been enough 10 pay
all the expense Of operating the plant
and also the expense Of the FIRE depart
ment. This sum will meet fully one
half OF the expense OF the proposed
improvement, and no time should be
lost in perfecting a work that woul Id
be OF such inealculaole value to the
residents Of this city.
