WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Gazette, Delaware, Ohio.

The healthfulness Of bicycle riding for
women is still q disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
Used in moderation it surely creates for
women d means Of outdoor exercise, tho
benefit of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pnstime, Its
effect is likely to be dangerous.
The experience Of Miss Bertha Reed, tho
seventeen-year-old daughter of Mr.. J. R.
Reed, S35 Lake st., Delaware, Ohio, may
point moral for parents who, like Mr.. and
Mrs. Reed have experienced some concern
for their daughters who nre fond of wheel
ing. In the fall Of '96 Miss Bertha who had
ridden a great deal began to fail in an
alarming manner She grew steadily paler
and thinner, and it appeared she was going

Last Saturday evening the literary So

Last Saturday evening the literary 30
cieties Of the South Carolina College in
Columbia debated the query, Resolved.
That the suffrage should be taken from
the negroes in the Southern States" In
speaking Of the exercises the Columbia
State says: 'sMr. A. Beaty Sherard, of
Anderson the last speaker of the afirma
tive and who closed the debate, was next
introduced by President Turnbull. Mr..
Sherard delivered in graceful and easy
manner convincing argument why the
negro should be disfranchised. He touched
briefly upon the constitution and showed
how laws could be framed deprivipg the
negro of suffrage without violating the
Federal constitution. Mr.. Sherard pos
sesses deep, full and clever voice, which
added much to his excellent argument.
Many times during his speech the audi
ence vociferously cheered him. He pre-
sented clear cut and convincing rsasons.
He was loudly applauded at the close of
his speech. The judges, Secretary of State
Tompkins. Gen. Leroy F. Youmans and
Hon. r. w. Shand. then retired to the stir
ring strains of "Dixie" to make UP their
decision. Shortly afterward they returned
and Gen. Youmans, as spokesman for the
committee, awarded the medal to Mr.. A.
Beatty Sherard as the best debater.'
Ruth, the 7-year old daughter of Mr..
Will. Pepper, met with horrible acci-
dent last Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock
that caused her death in few hours. She
was making fire in the stove, and while
pouring some kerosene oil on the wood
1t blazed suddenly and exploded the can,
which ignted her clothing. The screams
Of the unfortunate girl attracted the at
tenti0n of both her father and mother,
who ran to her assistance. The mother
dashed bucket of water on the girl, and
the father attempted to pull the burning
clothing from her body, but their efforts
proved futile, and their darling daughter
was burned from the crown Of her head
to the soles of her feet. Mr.. Pepper was
also painfully burned on his hands and
arms. The little girl lived about five
hours after the accident, and, though her
sufferings were terrible, she retained her
mental faculties almost to the last mo-
ment. She talked very consolingly to
her loved ones during these hours, tell
ing them that she was going to die and
begging them not to grieve for her. for
she would soon be with the angels in
Heaven. Ruth was very bright and
interesting girl, and was favorite with
all of her friends, who deeply grieve her
death. On yesterday afternoon the re-
mains were inferred in the Meals Creek
churchyard, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. NJ. MCGEE. The
parents and other loved ones have the
sympathies of all their friends in their
sore bereavement.

weyIer Hanged I'm EfiGy and No Business
Doing-Spaniards Threatened.

Havana Dec. 22.-Ehgies OF General
Weyler were hanging yesterday after
noon in Cerro, the suburb. surrounded
by jeering crowds, while small process
sions marched and conference.-the
along the streets, shouting constantly.
Business is virtually suspended in con-
sequence of the rejoicing over the evac-
uatiOn. In some instances bands OF
Cubans have visited Spanish shopkeep-
ers and compelled them to shout viva
Cuba Libre" and TO wave Cuban flags.
Printed papers insulting to the Span
iards and threatening to kill them after
Jan. 1 continue to be circulated in va
rious parts of the island. The alcalde
of Santiago de las Vegas has seized
large quantities of such clandestine
prints and burned them The Cuban
patriotic committees are planning Tor
five days feast after Jan /, during
which all business is to be suspended.
1t now appears that the raising of the
stars and stripes over Fort Atares
Tuesday by Major Russell E. Harrison
was a surprise 10 both the United
States and the Spanish military COM
alissioners. The American commission
ers had agreed that no American flags
should be raised until Jan. l. Major
Harrison did rot know this and when
told to occupy the fort with detach-
ment of the First North Carolina reg
iment he promptly raised the flag. This
morning Major Harrison breakfasted
with the Spanish colonel who Is in
command of that portion of the city.
He gave orders late last evening that
the effigy of General Weyler should be
taken down.
A Spanish paper manufacturer COM
planned to General Lee last evening that
the Cuban General Julio Sanguily had
called upon him and ordered him to
display Cuban and American flags from
his factory on penalty of death for re-
fusal. General Lee Immediately had

UNIoH LABOR CONTRACT VOID

Chicago. Dec. 22--The case CO Adams
vs.. Brennan has been reversed and re-
manded by the supreme court. The
board of education had q contract with
the Building Trades council to require
in ali contracts let for public work that
none but union labor should be en-
pioyed. John a. Knisely. a contractor
was invited to bid for repairs on a GER
tain school house. He submitted two
bids. one of which stipulated that If a
provision in regard TO the employment
of union labor was not enforced he
would do it for sum less than that
submitted with the provision in regard
to the employment OF union labor en-
forced The higher bid was accepted.
The superior court dismissed the bill
to have the contract annulled, and this
decree the supreme court reverses, hold
ing that q stipulation requiring the en-
ployment of none but union labor is an
unwarranted discrimination between
different classes of citizens, restricts
competition and tends to increase the
cost of work to be paid for by tax

Miles responded to the summons OF
the committee only after several days
consideration. He was accompanied by
his own stenographer. His examination
was comparatively brief and not sensa-
tional. He spoke with some bitterness
as to the ''embalmed beef" and the
canned beef furnished the army in the
field. This he characterized as an ex-
pertinent for which some one in Wash
ington" was responsible He said that
the landing facilities of the Santiago
expedition were inadequate and that
the men were short OF rations and
medicines and might have been better
protected from exposure to fever con-

Gen Miles stated that the first plans
for sending troops to Cuba were not

there until Cervera's fleet was located.

problem. and the dispatch OF troops, in
