NEW LUTHERAN CHURCH.
Progress Made in Greenville
Towards the Organize
ton ola Congregation.

The first steps towards the organization
Of a new English Lutheran Church in the
GreenvilIe section Of the city were taken
last Sunday morning. Special services
were held in Bamber Hall, on Linden
Avenue.by the Rev. Eugene E. Neudenitz.
who is now pastor tf the Holy Trinity
Lutheran Church On Montgomery street
and Jersey Avenue. The principal services
were held in the afternoon at -four o'clock,
when fully four hundred people attended.
Among them were many from Pastor
Neudenitz's down own congregation
who went to Greenvilfe to assist in the
work of organizing a new church. The
movement bids fair to be successful and
services will be held at 10.30 tomorrow
morning and at four o'clock in the after
noon. The work of organizing this new
English Lutheran Church in G%reenville is
under the supervision of the Home Mis-
sion Board, under whose authority Pastor
Neudenitz is acting. The president of the
Mission, DIR. Charles Albert, of Phila-
delphia. complifnented Pastor Neudenitz
on the early success of the new move
ment. and expressed a wish that the new
church would soon secure a sound ound-
alton. Rev. S. G. Burger has been APP
pointed by the Mission Board to take
charge of the work in Greenvi1le as he
completes his studies. He is now a stu
dent of the Theological Seminary of the
Evangelical Lutheran Consistory at Get
tysburg, Penn.
On June 5 next the new church viii be
formally organized. On June 4 the Rev.
Mr.. Burger will take UP his residence in

thorough canvass of that section for the
church. Many people were. and some are
still. of the opinion that the English
Lutheran Church was started TO oppose
Pastor Sarft of the Zion Evangelical
Lutheran church on MeAdoo Avenue,
and for the benefit of the members of the
Lutheran Choral Union, who last fall sew
cred their connection with Pastor Sanfts
Church, where for a long time they fur
nished the music for all the services.
Such is not the case, although it is adj
mitted thai it looks very much that way.
Pastor Neudernitz said in connection
with the new project that the movement
was not to oppose Pastor Sanft. 1.-THE
trouble in the Zion German Church has
nothing to do with our plans, he said.
'sThe English Lutheran Church of which
we form a part has absolutely no con-
nection with the church Of which Pastor
Sanft is a clerical member. The English
Lutheran Church is gaining in popular
ity and new congregations are sprlnging
up everywhere. Last week we organized
a branch church in Hoboken. The English
Lutheran Church is more conservative
than the German Church and is eonse-

The bicycle, In one phase or another
Of its career, u just now engaging the
attention Of many legal authorities, and
before long we shall have precedents
enough established to settle every BIZ
cycle case before II goes ON trial. But
a week or two ago it was decided that
minors could not be held to installment
contracts, and now comes decision to
the effect that beginners injured in rid
ing academies cannot recover damages
therefor when the instructors have ex-
ercised reasonable care IN the perform
ance Of their duties.
Justice Scott, in trial term of the
New York supreme court recently dis
missed, at the close of the evidence on
both sides, an action brought by Flor
ence Hass against Sidney Bowman to
recover $4,000 for injuries alleged to
be due 10 the negligence Of an employe
of the defendant in teaching her how
to ride bicycle. In October, 1895, Mrs.
ITass went to the defendants academy
to take bicycle lesson. She was en-
abled to maintain her equilibrium dur
ing her maiden efforts to steer n wheel
by strap held by the teacher, and,
after the manner of timid learners, she
begged him not to let go. To let go be-
ing part of the business of teaching
bicycle riding, the teacher did so when
he thought the pupil sufficiently at
home, and as n result Of his first dsrc-
gard of her entreaties she had bad fall
and broke the bones Of her leg. The ac-
tion was tried on the theory that the
teacher was guilty of carelessness in at
tempting to make the pupil ride alone
so soon, and in not preventing her from
falling.
The defense was a denial of negli-
gerce, and nonsuit was moved at the
close of the case on the ground that
neither the pleading nor the evidence
disclosed n cause Of action, either on n
contract or for tort.
Justice Scott, in refusing to give the
case to the jury, said: This lady went
to this academy to learn to ride alone,
and it was absolutely necessary that at
some time or other the teacher should
let go Of her." that it appeared that the
defendant had engaged competent and
careful instructors, and TO hold him
liable for 50 much Of the affair rs was
not an unforeseen accident would be tan
tamount to making him an insurer
against injury by falling of every pat
ron who came voluntarily to learn in
his academy, and that no such duty was
contained in his contract to teach how

The jury intimated that had the case

@cncc in fact their finding would have
been for the defendant.

AMERICAN BICYCLES.
They Are Immensely Popular in Ger
many, Switzerland and ether
European CountricH.

\ Series of consular reports has been
made no the state department showing
the wonderful progress Of the trade in
American bicycles in Germany, Switzer-
land, and Ireland in particular. Hither-
to the German cycle manufacturers
have urged their government not TO as
sess higher duty on imported bicycles
as suc,i, but to classify them for duty
under Para graph 470 of the present law
as upholstered carriages, dutable at
$50 marks ($37.50) each, which would
be of course prohibitory. This would
require no new legislation, but merely
an administrative decision, giving to
bicycles, which were not an article of
commerce when the law was enacted,
and are not therefore specifically mer-
toned therein, an arbitrary and unjust
classification, under which each cycle
would pay the same duty as four
wheeled carriage. AS this would apply
to all imported bicycles-those of Eng
lish and Belgian manufacture as we'll
as American--and thereby initiate
against certain commercial treaties, the
decision, notwithstanding the frantic
appeals Of the German makers. has not
yet been given. Meanwhile the lead
ing American cycle manufacturers are
stocking their depots in Germany with
full supplies for the incoming season
and are preparing to establish auxiliary
factories there whenever the prohib-
itory edict may fall. Popular opinion.
even in Germany, is distinctly on the
side Of the American manufacturers,
whose products have not only cheap
ened but greatly improved the stand
ard Of excellence In bicycle construc-
ton, whereas all the principal German
makers have earned large incomes from
both their home and export trade and
are not therefore considered To be in a
strong position to demand new and ex-
trsofdihary protection. 'a
A short time ago the impression pre-
vailed that American wheels were too
light for Irish roads, and that the
wooden rims used wese not suitable for
the damp climate. It would now ap-
pear that the public Is no longer of this
opinion. Not only have the light Amer
lean machines become popular and
their lasting qualities been proven, but
British manufacturers have been com.
PEELED to build lighter machines to suit
the public demand. Another feature
which Is liked in American machines Is
the longer crank and higher gear.
While the British machine has six
inch crank and 60-inch gear, the Amer.
lean VIII have q seven or seven and a
quarter-inch crank and 70-inch gear.

Two popular society young ladies of
q Colorado town have for some time had
serious differences over q prominent
young man. They were advised by
their friends that dueling among ladies
was not good form, SO they decided to
settle the matter with the dice, though
the method seemed trivial. One of the
contestants had thrown four skies and
her countenance plainly indicated that
she expected to win. The other had
thrown once, with pair Of fives, when
the Aforesaid young man appeared un-
announced upon the scene. The pair
Of fives looked SO small in. comparison
with the four skies, while to the fair
gambler the young man looked the
same as ever he did, and at sight OF
him her courage failed her and she cast
the dice box from her. The game was
not finished-neither is the conquest.
