Rear Rider Caught Him.
Habitues Of the Coney Island cycle path are
telling Of a clever bit of work by two cyclists on
q tandem recently. There was a big crowd out.
and the tandem was making fair pace on the
return path toward Brooklyn. when shouts Of
warning from behind were heard and q large
bay horse came up the driveway on a dead
gallop. dragging after him the fore part Of q
light road wagon with dark blue running gear.
The vehicle had parted in the middle. presuma-
bly, as a result of collision with some object. and
the hind wheels were somewhere in the rear.
Everyday cleared a path for the runaway, but
there were several narrow escapes. and a short
distance up the road was q crowd Of equipages
which invited disaster. All this the men on the
tandem realized. and calling out for q clear

THE USEFULNESS OF THE VULCAN.
Already Proved by Services to the Fleet in
Cuban Waters.

FROM he Wilmington Morning NeHI.
The steamer Vulcan OF the navy, fitted out as
a repair-shop ship by Engineer-in- Chief Mel
vile. proved invaluable to the large squadron
in Cuban waters. operating far from q naval
base. where repairs were impossible except In
the case of exceedingly slight injuries. and 1t Is
now clearly shown that had not this vessel been
promptly sent to Santiago. a number Of the
warships would have had to continue In a Grip
pied condition or been returned to the United
States to be put In good order.
A letter received from Chief Engineer Chas-
mar OF the Vulcan, dated Guantanamo, July 5,
declared that the Vulcan Ia thoroughly appre-
ciated IN the squadron, and Ia doing great
work. Twelve ships have already made use OF
her facilities for repair to their machinery, and
several OF them received new steam pipes In
place Of the old ones that had been shot away,

ELEPHANT GREAT IN CRIME.
The Animals Intellectual Powers Are
Most Apparent in His Schemes
for Revenge.

Few more impressive condolences
can be impaired than one in which a
Hindoo describes how he knows his
elephant intends to destroy him. 1t
is all so seemingly trivial, and yet in
reality of such deadly significance. His
story is so full of details that prove
the mans profound understanding of
what he is talking about that one re-
mains equally amazed at the brute's
power to dissemble and it's intended

psychological standpoint, an elephant
never gives any other such indication
of mental power as is exhibited in it's
revenge. That patient, watchful i'm

of a high intellectual guide than all
stories, true or false, that have been

NOT A COWARD.
The Strange Eject Of Nervous Strain
Brave Little Soldier
in Cuba.

Nervous excitement is responsible
for much that might pass for cow
ardice. The author of ga Cuban Expe-
dition" speaks of one dreadful day,
when he and his comrades sat in q wet
ditch and waited, concealed, while the
Spaniards were so near that escape
seemed almost impossible.
The discomfort of our predicament
up to the middle in mud and water,
with the rain pouring down on us
was at the moment unfelt, in our eX-
element and eagerness in watching
the enemy. Little Joe Storey, who was
next to me, was trembling all over.
Suddenly he grasped my arm and whis-
pered:
ooh, what shall I do? must scream
or fire off my rifle! [ can't help It'll"
], too, felt that he would do either
the one or the other, and [ whispered
back the first thing that occurred to
me.

least noise, I'll stab you to death!>
Then [ told him to keep his eyes
closed, and try to think of something
else, until he heard the first shot fired.
After that he might shout as loudly as
he liked. [ put one arm about his neck
and drew. him close to me. There,
trembling, he rested like quiet child.
Presently his excitement wore off, and
he became used to the situation; then
he was heartily ashamed of his break
down.
But Storey was not a coward. He
was gallant little soul in action, and
only his tortured nerves were respon-
sible for this temporary revolt.

Women Should Know It.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease
is not correctly understood. They have
been led to believe that womb trouble or
female weakness of some sort is respOn-
sible for the many ills that beset woman
kind
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism dragging pain or Gull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensations, profuse or scanty supply
of urine with strong odor, frequent de-
sire to pass it, with scalding or burning
sensation, sediment in it after standing
in bottle or common class for twenty
four hours, are signs Of kidney and blad
der trouble.
The above symptoms are often attri-
buted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, SO many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but a reflection of the
primary cause.
In fact, women as we'll as men are
made miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy

WIVES NEEDED.
Necessity CoIDpeIs Relaxation OF Mi
soSnytst Cecil Rhodes Rule
in South Africa.

British South Africa is sadly in need
of wives, according to late accounts
from that land of diamond mines and
milliOnaires. The chartered company
of which Cecil Rhodes is the head has
for years frowned on the idea of mar
rage among its mounted police, civil
servants and other employees. This OBJ
lection has amounted to practical pro-
hibition. and is well known to have been
the result of Rhodes misogynist views,
he being confirmed woman hater. In
the past year or two number of his
best men have left the company's serv-
ice rather than subscribe to Sir Cecifs
peculiar notions to the extent of re-
naming single for life. The result has
been that other leading members of the
chartered company have taken the mat
ter up. They pointed out that unless
a reversal Of policy were manifested
things would soon assume serious as
pect, as important affairs would be left
in the hands Of the least reliable of the
companys servants. Sir Cecil gave the
matter due consideration, and, finding
that the protest had most substantial
grounds, has surrendered. According

chartered company's officials promis-
ing that preference in promotion will
