LATEST ROMANCE
 OF THE BICYCLE
During His Wheeling Trips Aged Mr. Clarke Fell in Love
 With Mrs. Sylvester.
So the Couple Finally Welded and Are Spending the Honeymoon
 in Florida.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-The marriage of William E. Clarke of Woodhaven, l.. l., to Mrs. Sylvester of California, proves that young lives are not the only ones that are touched and influenced by romance through the medium of the bicycle. The wheel has been the means of affecting the lives of many young people for good or evil. In this case it has caused a marriage between a man of 70 and widow of middle age. MT. Clarke is one of the most widely known men in WoodhaVen. He is the richest man in the place, and he is the most enthusiastic wheelman for miles around. His residence is one of the handsomest places in Woodhaven. On one of his wheeling trips Mir. Clarke met Mrs. Sylvester, who was living in Brooklyn, having lately arrived from California. The widow is a handsome woman, and Mir. Clarke felt interested in her at once. He is a tall, stalwart man with white hair and whiskers. handsome and dignified, and showing few signs of his 70 years.
 Many were the rides the couple had taken together on the cycle path. through the park and on the asphalt streets of Brooklyn, and for a change over the roads of Queens County. Wherever they rode their fine appear ance and evident regard for each other attracted the attention of all. Although the friendship between MT. Clarke and Mrs. Sylvester was known to many in Woodhaven the news of their marriage came in the nature of surprise to all. Not hint of it was whispered outside and nothing was known of it until the ceremony was performed and the couple were on a trip to Florida. Rev. Frank l. Wheat performed the service at the home of the bridegroom on Thursday night, in the presence of only a few relatives. MT. and Mrs. Clarke will return and take up their residence in Woodhaven in Nav

Call Office, Riggs House,
 Washington, Jan. z.
 Before the debate on the Civil Service question was resumed In the House to- day an intellectual attempt was made to agree upon a time for the termina- tion of it. Gillette (R.) of Massachu- setts then took the floor in support of the law. He maintained the argu- ments of Grosvenor and Landis against the law were both in reality strong arraignment of the spells system. He denied that the scope of the executive order of May 6, 1896. was not under stood when the St. Louis platform was adopted.
 Gillette commented wittily on the spectacle of the white-haired veteran. General Grosvenor, leading the young hotspurs of the party in the battle for the spells.
 Cummings D.) of New York an- nounced himself an implacable foe against the whole system of civil serv- ice reform. Roscoe Conkling, who, in his opinion, was the greatest Senator New York had ever known, had once spoken, he said, of the "dreary drivel of snivel service reform" He had nev- CT appreciated it so much as he had during this days debate. Cummings said the hostility to the system had been steadily growing. '"The system is doomed" said he, "and one of the factors in it's destruction is Tammany Hall.'
 Bartholdt (R.) of Missouri took oc- casion to defend Carl Schurz from what he termed the islanders heaped upon that gentleman by Grosvenor. The intimation that there was a stain upon his personal honor was an insult to the German-American, whose con- fidence SchurZ had retained for years. At 4:55 the House adjourned.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: Germany has indicated to the United States Government her willingness to negotiate treaty of reciprocity. I un- derstand the German Government has taken the initiative in proposing a con- ference of the representatives of all Flu ropean powers to secure the abolition of bounties or sugar and other prod ucts. When the Dingley bill was un- der discussion Baron Won Thielmann the German Ambassador, made an earnest effort to have omitted from the bill the provision which imposes an ad- ditional duty on all goods imported to the United States upon which an ax- port bounty had been paid. This nro- vision was intended especially to covar sugar brought in from Germany and other European countries,
 The effect of this provision has bae, to discourage the importation of Car man beet sugars into the JJnitad Stoto. ana It IS believed in administration oir cies that 1t is largely upon this accorr+ that the German Government is saa,- ing the abolition of all bounties o,, common products.

the Fertile Prairies of
Western Canada.

The rapid progress that is being made
In the settlement of the fertile prairies
Of western Canada is leading to the in
vestigation of it's resources by those
interested in having provision made for
those living in the crowded east, for
those who have been struggling for
years on impoverished farms, for the
renter who is unable any longer to bear
up under the strain imposed by the
landlord, and for the farmer who un-
able to purchase farms for his sons in
his own neighborhood has to look
around for lower priced lands. The in
vestigation shows that it is impossible
to meet these conditions successfully
outside of western Canada. Already
millions of bushels of wheat are being
grown there each year, while as many
as $4,000 head of cattle were shipped
out this year. A representative of the
Germania, Milwaukee, one Of the lead
ing German papers in the United
States, recently made a trip through
Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta and
Saskatchewan, where lie the free gov
eminent lands of western Canada, and
In future issue will appear extracts
from flattering letters contributed to-
the Germania and other papers by their
special correspondents.

make their homes in Canada, the Cana
dian government offers 100 acres of
land free of cost to each settler, and in
formation can be had of agents of the

The dock of the Lehigh Coal & Coke
company, of this city, is burning, and
while fighting the fire, a crew OF. men
were caught by a bad cave-in. Two

Foreman Love and six men were on top

on the blaze, when the dock gave way
and several thousand tons of coal went
into the bay beneath, carrying four

other man escaped by hanging to the
fire hose. The others were seen to go
down and for some time they could be
heard calling from below and great, but
unsuccessful, efforts were made to ex-
tricate them. Their identity cannot be
learned as they were new men and
Foreman Love did not know who was
working the hose with him. The fire
is the worst which has been experienced
here for years. The middle of the dock
is burning fiercely and it is being cut
into sections to prevent the fire spread

would be destroyed, together with co.
