ADMIRABLE CONFIDENCE.


The announcement of the Pope Manu-
featuring Company last week that they
guaranteed to maintain list prices on
Columbia, Hartford and Vedette BIZ
cycles, as published in their 1898 cata-
logue during the season ending October
LIST, had a clarifying effect upon the
trade atmosphere, and relieved the feel
ing of uncertainty and anxiety that had
existed for some time, among both buy
ers and sellers, as nothing else could
have done.
That a company which holds undis-
putcd leadership as regards financial
strength, the amount of capital invest
ed size of their plant, and the quantity
and quality of their product, should at
the very beginning of the season pub
licly proclaim their confidence in the
outlook for the years business and
their belief that a discerning public
would demand and be willing to pay for
the best product of the cycle builders
art, is a fact that has given the trade
cause for self-congratulation through
out the land, and will have tendency
been rushing into print with state
ments to the effect that no one knew
where the bottom of the cycle market
was.
The public has had experience with
these calamity howlers, and will not let
the Spring slip by, with its beautiful
days and fragrant air, waiting for low
prices that can never come on the best
wheels. The bicycle has become a
staple article of commerce; to the vast
majority of cyclists, necessity, not a
luxury. Just as there is a demand for
jeans pants, shoddy made clothing,
brogan shoes and calico dresses, there
will also be a limited market for cheap
and poorly made bicycles. But the
great middle class of American citizens,
who can afford meat three times day,
and sugar in their coffee, those in the
higher walks of life, and the leisure
class, will look below the enamel of BIZ
cycles before purchasing. To these,
quality will appeal as strongly as price,
and they will only buy bicycles made by
manufacturers whose reputation, facili-
ties and business methods give stability
to their guarantees.
Coming from the Pope Manufacture
ing Company, this unequivocal agree
ment to maintain list prices on their
'9S product throughout the season,
probably carries more weight than it
would from any other source. BY 81
years of fair dealing, the Pope Manufac-
turing Company have gained the full
confidence of the riding public. The
public has come to understand that this
Company never acts rashly or unadvis-
eddy, that they carefully weigh the
pros and cons" of any step before taxi
ing it, but once having adopted a policy
they have the ability and inclination to
carry it out to the letter. Thinking
cyclists will therefore conclude that the
Pope Manufacturing Company must
have ample and substantial assurance
that there is healthy demand for high
grade bicycles built of the best mate
rial and manufactured carefully and
correctly as to mechanical detail, by the
most modern and improved machinery
and well paid labor.
When it is known that up to March
LIST, the Pope Manufacturing Company
have shipped to their customers, over
5000 Columbia Bevel Gear Chainless
bicycles, this conclusion becomes a GER

THE INGENIOUS MAN.
His Invention Was Forgotten in Time

He was a very ingenious man. He had
made an invention which was of great value
He thought so, at least, if the world did not,
and he had his invention patented. It
was combination camp-stool, cane and UNI
brella. The cane was the usual form of the
invention. At big parade nothing could be
more convenient, and for an ordinary, unex-
pected rainstorm, what could be better?
A man is sure to have his walking stick with
him.
1t was not so very long after the invention
had been perfected that the man was out
walking with his wife, and sudden shower
came up. There were no cars accessible, and
the only thing to do was to run, and the
unlucky pair did this with vengeance,
reaching the house hot, uncomfortable, and
pretty wet.

GEN. FITZHUGH LEE.
In Many Ways Our Consul at Ha-
vana Is Great Man.
Endorsed by Two Administration
and Immensely Popular with
the PeOple-A Bit of Fam
lily History.

Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, ex-governor of
Virginia, and now United States consul
general at Havana, these words were
uttered only few days ago by author
ity of President Mckinley: He has
borne himself throughout this crisis
with judgment, fidelity and courage, to
the presidents entire satisfaction"
For a government officer, intrusted
with duties and responsibilities of a
peculiarly trying character, to so COM
port himself in the bright glare of pub
licity and amid exciting circumstances
as to receive such unstinted praise from
an administration not of his own polit-
zeal party, is very unusual, and the dis
tinction gains in significance and honor
from the fact that the presidents words
fairly express the sentiments of the
people of the United States, irrespective
of party.
Fitzhugh Lees career has thus far re-
tiected credit upon a name and fam
lily famous in American history. He is
the nephew of Gen. Robert +. Lee and
the grandson of Gen. Henry Lee, the
noted Light Horse Harry" of the rev.
dictionary war. 1t was this same

Travelling Satchel and Suit
ably Inscribed.

A tombstone has just been erected in
the cemetery in Lincoln, Kan. which,
for unique design and applicable in
scription, probably has no equal in this
country. James Jacobs, a Lincoln
butcher, died in 1891. His father, Henry
Jacobs, is very eccentric fellow. The
old gentleman several months ago con-
cluded to erect a suitable tombstone
over the grave of his son James. He
wanted something out of the ordinary.
He remembered that James was of
rowing disposition, so he had a stone
cut in the shape of an old-fashioned
travelling satchel. On the plate in the
center of each side is the name -. S.

by the present administration without
evoking any partisan opposition. EX-
Gov. Lee was appointed consul general
to Havana by President Cleveland in
April, 1896, and he succeeded Ramon 0.
Williams, who had held the Office
through four successive administra-
tions. Mr.. Cleveland knew Lee well and
well as in his courage. The time had
come for the exercise by the United
States representative in Cuba of
larger diplomatic discretion than is
usually vested in a consul general, and
FitZhugh Lees selection for this deli
cate official duty was generally regard
ed as happy instance of putting the
right man in the right place"
Soon after President McKinley's in
auguration Gen. Lee forwarded his
resignation to the state department at
Washington, and, presuming that the
usual course would be pursued and
that the office would be filled by the APP
pointment of a member of the presi-
dents political party, he asked for
leave, and returned to this country.
The resignation was duly filed, but not
accepted. Gen. Lees course in Havana
had impressed President Mckinley and
his advisers favorably, and they urged
him to return to his post and continue
to serve the government as he had been
doing. Reluctantly-for he fully ap-
preciated the trying situation - Gen.
Lee acceded to the presidents request,
and it is but the simple truth to say that
ever since his return to Cuba he has
been in perfect accord with his official
superiors in Washington. In certain
sense Consul General Lee has exercised
the functions of minister, and as
much reliance has been placed by the
government upon his reports concern
ing affairs in Cuba as if he were regu-
larly accredited ambassador
Fitzhugh Lee is trife older than one
would think from glance at his latest
portraits. If he lives until next Novem-

mont, Fairfax county, Va. He gradu-

LAW OF SELF-DEFENSE.
Where Protection Ends and Reveng,
Begins.

The right of self-defense is by some
all men by the law of nature. Now these
natural rights" are all very well, but
they are not recognized by the law of
Great Britain. 1t is the law that man
may defend himself, his wife, child, or
servant, from physical aggression. He
may also repel by force a forcible at
tack upon his property. When you, or
your wife, child, or servant is attacked.
or threatened with violence in such
manner as reasonably to lead you to
believe that violence is about to be used,
you may resist the aggressor. And as
the best mode of resistance is very often
to attack, you may lawfully follow the
advice given by an old prize fighter to
a pupil, i. e., get in the first whack."
But self-defense must be moderate. 1t
must not be totally disproportioned to
the attack. For instance, if n hulking
ruffian runs at me with knife (says the
Family lawyer l may shoot him. But
if he runs at me merely with his fists
clenched, and l shoot him dead with
revolver, / shall probably be hanged by
the neck. Not that the law expects a
man to be calm and cool and collected
in all circumstances. BY no means.
For instance, if the said burly ruffian
rushes at me with clenched fists, evil
IDENTIFY meaning mischief, and hit him
with heavy stick on the back of the
ear, may kill him. But l shall not be
hanged for that. l had right to use
the stick; and in the circumstances 1
am not to be supposed to be cool enough
to aim for the spot not likely to be fatal.
Again, self-defense must not develop
into revenge. Thus, if | am threatened
with knife, and by the timely display
Of pistol 1 brighten my assailant so
that he runs away, l must not shoot
after him. If do, am just as liable as
though he had never threatened me, be-
cause l shoot at him in self-defense,
but by way of punishment or revenge
