FIRST OF THE WHEEL CRAZE
The Rage for Bicycle Riding Began
in America as Long Ago as the
Year 1869.

Inc spring Of 1869 found the wheel
craze universal. Carriage builders were
led to add to their factories plants for
the manufacturing Of velocipedes. Over
LOCO OF these machines were turned
out every week, while orders were pour
ing IN by the tens of thousands. To
quote from a newspaper of about that
time: "As an indication of the extent
TO which the manufacture of veloci-
pedes was carried On, it may be men
toned that Mr.. Calvin Witty, the pur-
chaser OF the Lallement patent, en-
ployed the resources of seven large car
rage makers, and kept their establish
ments busy day and night. He had 10
men at work in one establishment in
New York, and he also kept men active
ly employed in two factories in Con-
necticut, one in Wilmington, Del, and
one in Newark, n. J.''
But few people had expected that the
mania for this new style of wheeled We
hicies would be SO great.
Among the earliest who exhibited
their skill On the velocipede in public
were the Hanlon brothers. They used
a somewhat clumsy type Of wheel from
france. These, at best, were but heavy
Things, which We're soon improved upon
by American makers.
Schools for teaching learners to ride
were quickly opened: and that of Frank
Pearsall, the well-ll1nown New York
photographer, was perhaps the first OF
these. His school was on the corner OF
Broadway and Twenty street
Together with his brother he turned
out upwards of 800 well-taught riders
within two months. Three months
later nearly SO bicycle schools thrived
in New York and Brooklyn. These
schools We'd one with the other in
high-sounding names. One was the
''Arnphicyclotheatrus," another the
Gymnocyclidium." etc. The cost OF
tuition was SIS each; but this amount
carried with it the right to use a veloci-
pede and to practice in the hall for one
month Frank n. Vizetelly, in St
Nicholas.

advertised by our ewing Friends

Last week London journal which
has been our friend throughout the
war contained the following editorial ::
"Those of us who thought we under
stood the Yankee character must re-
organize our views. We have been
taught to believe that the American
was hardy and level-headed man
who could stand the maximum of
misfortune with the minimum of com
plant. But the noise just now being
made in the United States over the
Spanish war reminds lis more of the
petulancy OF children than the hardi-
hood of men, We cannot understand
it ALL The Americans won war with
a celebrity and brilliancy that seldom
has been equaled in the annals of the
world. They lost comparatively moth
ing either on land or sea. The death
rate from sickness in the armies in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
has been as nothing when compared
with British losses in the Soudan or
upon the very island over which the
Americans went to war. In such a
record it might be supposed there was
nothing with which serious fault could
be found. But, as we have said, we
do not know the Americans. To read
their newspapers one would suppose
they had lost all; that their fleets were
destroyed; the battles lost and their
armies persisted. It seems to us that
the Spaniards in their defeat are con-
Quoting themselves with more manli-
ness and propriety than the Ameri-
cans in their victory"
What answer can we make to this
arraignment? We can only hang our
heads in shame and plead guilty"
There must be a stop put to this I'M
seemly contention. Let us regain
some of our lost dignity and play the
part of men. The sooner this is done
the better pleased will be the great
body of American people.-Post-Intel
ligencer.

Westminster is Destroyed by Fire.

VANCOUVER, 3. c., Sept. ll.-New
Westminster is heap of smouldering
ruins and her citizens are wandering
aimlessly about the streets detected
and hopeless. The fire, famed by a
fierce wind, went from the water front
to Royal avenue, blotting out every
thing for seven streets, then spreading
east and west, wiped out Columbia
street with its scores of handsome bus
mess blocks. The extent Of the fire
is half mile square. The estimated
loss, building and stocks, is $2,5OO,OOO,
and the insurance about half OF that
The fire started at IL is last night at

there for the past year. One story Is
that spark from Il passing steamer
set the straw on fire. The story most
generally credited is that the fire start
ed in the straw from spontaneous COM
bustion, as the shed was closely shut at
the time The fire, spreading from
there, took in all the buildings on Co
lumbia and Front streets from the
Telegraph hotel to the Canadian Pa
cifc railway station, six blocks, and
from the water front to r )yal avenue,
back into the residential portion, sew
en- blocks. When the fire started, the
steamers, Gladys, e lgar and Bonnac-
cord were tied close together. They
were soon on fire, and breaking from
their moorings, floated down stream,
aiiing the wind in the work of de-
struction by setting fire to all the can
neries and sheds on the water front
en- route. The Gladys and Edgar soon
foundered and sank. The BoEaccord
was scuttled to prevent her setting fire
to the Royal City planning mills.
The mayor telephoned Vancouver
that the city was on fire. In an hour
and quarter the entire fire brigade
Of Vancouver was on the scene, and
the two brigades pumped water from
the river, abandoning the reservoir.
The Vancouver boys did noble work,
actually checking the fire westward at
the Queens hotel block, and again
several blocks back from there in the
residential portion. In the meantime
the fire had burned itself ont in an
easterly direction, performing strange
freaks, such II leaving Chinaman's
shack and q saloon standing, where
every building ten feet away was con-
sumed. At o'clock the Vancouver
force had succeeded in checking the
flames, the citizens having prevented
their spread along the water front by
tearing down six or eight Chinese
buildings.

President H. H. yreeland OF the Metropolitan
Street Railroad Company sent tho following
lottor I'd the Board OF Rapid Transit Commis-
sioners yesterday:
GENTLEMEN: The directors Of tho Metro
politan Street Railway Company yesterday took
mp officially for the first time tho subject Of en-
tering into contract for the construction and
operation OF the proposed underground rapid
transit railroad, which, as you arc aware, has
been for some time under consideration by indi-
vidual members OF the board and under ex-
animation by our engineers and counsel. We
entered upon the consideration Of the subject
with tho belief that the necessity for improved
communication between the upper and lower
parts Of the city was so great that relief must
certainly be Afforded and we were sanguino In
tho expectation that an examination OF the
subject would show that the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company could render this pub
lie service and at the same time, In connection
with its surface roads, render greater facility to
the public and secure greater profits for itself
than any one else possibly could do.
"Soon after the public announcement was
made Of our intention the elevated railroad
companies appear to have expressed their will
ingness to enter into an arrangement for the
extension and improvement Of their roads,
which the previous city administration endeav-
orcd, without success, to obtain from them In
preference to tho construction OF an under
ground road. This movement on the part OF the
elevated railroads has been received with ap.
proval by the present local authorities. We
have no disposition to do anything to obstruct
nor to discredit the sincerity and the success OF
this undertaking. and we therefore do not feel
that, 80 long as the alternative method Of secur-
ing the desired result appears about to be under.
taken, we would be justified in asking our stock
holders 10 engage in the construction Of an un.
derground road"
