TOO MUCH FOR AUBURN.
SO the Peace officer Brought Intoxica-
ted Mr.. Moniegel to Worcester.

William Moniegel, % years old, a ma
tive of Russia, who has adopted Au-
burn as his abiding place since arriv-
ing in America, got full of red-eye yes
terday afternoon and proceeded to
make things lively IN the ordinarily
quiet village.
Constable Asa w. Ward got on his
trail, however, and with the assistance
of a fellow -townSman named Allen,
finally succeeded in getting the hand
cuffs on the somewhat warlike indi-
vidual. The prisoner was loaded into
a wagon and driven TO Worcester with
all speed, where he is iodged at the
Waldo street station house.

OF one of the most thrilling episodes
that took place in the camp of the
Rough Riders. On the day before the
"Terrors" left for Tampa they gave an
exhibition drill. which was witnessed
by thousands OF persons. Lieut. Col.
Roosevelt was in command and or
dcred the entire regiment to charge.
As the thousand troopers were dash
ing upon hill ragged little Mexican
child scampered out in front of the gal
Looping column of horses. Hamilton
Fish was one Of the few who saw the

the column, and while galloping at full

AN INFALLIBLE TEST.
what the Bicycle Has Done to I'm
press the NeceTsity Of Good Roads
ON the Public Mind.

The readiness of wheelmcn 20 find
fault with the condition of most high
ways has, ut times. aroused much un-
favorable comment, particularly in
the earlier days of good roads agita-
ton, when the subject was fnr less
perfectly understood than at present
The public-spirited crusade which they
inauguratcd was ascribed wholly to
ulterior motives, and il was not until
they began to demonstrate its univcr-
sally-bencficent effects that the posi-
tion of the cyclist began to be at all
appreciated.
For generations. those who used the
highways had been satisfied to plod
along as best they might. behind steeds
that could voice no Ineligible COM
plant, travelling as little as possible in
the bad seasons and never considering
the many ways in which they would be
advnntaged if firm roadways in every
direction cmancipated them from the
reign of King Mud.
But the bicycle opened fresh vistas
and started new lines of thought. The
patient beast no longer trudged along
through mud-over rocks. ruts and
stumps, uphill and down-while the
driver indolently bounced along in the
vehicle behind him. On the wheel, the
rider, driver and motor are one, and i'm
mediately awakens TO keen and re-
alizing sense of the road beneath him.
Every change in grade is registered by
human nerves; every depression, rock,
or stretch of sand causes shock to q
human backbone, and calls for greater
energy. With bad conditions severe
strain is pvt upon the attention, pleas
ure is destroyed and wearisome labor
takes its place.
The bicycle showed conclusively that
roads were wrong, and it largely indi-
Gated the extent Of their imperfection.
1t thereby set in motion the forces
that have in ten years accomplished
much and are working toward the ac-
complishment Of much more under the
power of the inevitable logic Of events.
Good Roads.

1t is estimated by postal authorities
that each regiment in camp writes an
average Of GOO letters day. The mail
of 10000 troops, received and sent, is
equal to that of city Of 5O0, 900 inhab-
itants. OF course, the government will
forward mail with the greatest possible
prompitude to the army on Cuban soil,
and to the fleet. 1t will be rapidly sort
ed while en- route by railroad and
steamer. The sorters are kept supplied
with military directory furnished by
the war department and revised daily.

A subject 81 importance which has
hos yet rsosiyed the attention Il ~
quires b brought 20 the fore by sstats-
ment recently made TO the effect that
.the smooth surface Of the New JeE.
sey stone roads. 20 much admired By
bicycle riders, is rapidly disappearing.
owing to the infrequency of rains in
summer, the prevalence Of sweeping
winds, and the absence Of trees and
hedges from the roadside. The disin-
tegration of the New Jersey stone
roads, especially of those over which
constant stream of heavy wagons
roll into the city markets, must sooner
or later raise tho question Of the ex-
pediency Of giving part Of the annual
state Appropriation to the repair Of
the roads on the same plan Of division
of cost upon which new roads are
built"
Up to the present time SO much at
tention has been given to efforts to
secure hard roads, and considerati tions
of how they should be laid, that their
maintenance when put down has large
ly been lost sight of. Many, indeed,
have supposed. and some have asserted,
that when once laid It should not be
necessary to touch them for years.
Such ideas are radically wrong. and,
II acted upon. lead to disastrous re.
suits.
AS matter Of fact, macadam roads
require constant attention and care
II they are to be kept in good condi-
tion, the greatest efficiency secured
from them, and economy Of mainte-
nance maintained. All these things
will vary largely with the character
and quality Of the roads, some requir-
ing attention much more quickly and
far more constantly than others, but
the principle of maintenance Is the
same for all.
All stone roads are liable to "disin-
tegration" under certain conditions,
and will speedily be ruined II the ten.
dency Is not checked Mt the outset or,
better still, warded off, so to speak, by
constant care and attention. The
smooth surface disappears, ruts form
water settles in them, and the road
gradually breaks up.
The trouble with many OF the New
Jersey roads is not due particularly
TO the winds or absence of trees and
hedges from the roadside" but 1t is
due to four principal causes, one of
which Is the "infrequency of rains in
summer" and the others are the ex.
cesslve use of clay for binding" pur-
poses in constructing the roads. insuf.
ficient rolling. and failure to adopt an
adequate system of care and mainte-
nance after they are constructed.
We have repeatedly pointed out the
features necessary to obtain and main
tain good macadam roads, and no COM
munity which builds them can afford
TO overlook them, viz: thorough drain
age; abundant rolling of each layer OF
stone as laid; little or no clay for
"binding" purposes; and complete
system Of care and repair, which in.
wolves the constant employment Of n
suitable force of men to keep roads
clean. fill! up the smallest ruts as they
appear, and regular sprinkling in dry
weather.-Good Roads

whether or not the United States

Gen. Roy Stone figures that there
sss 1.soo.ooo miles Of public roads IN
tbs Uaited States over which 500 ooo.-
90 tons Of freight is hauled every
ysar. Putting the avsFags haul st
eight miles-thoush Il l. probably an
overestimste. says the St. Louis Post
Dispatch-he figures the cost Of cart
ing at two dollars the ton, or 3l.0O0.-
100000. the year. With uniformly
good roads the cost Of moving this
freight would be only $4oo. .oo0. 900. saw
ing 5000 OO0. 900 70 the public annually.
This equivalent to the yearly interest
On seo. 900 O0o.oOO Of three per oent
government bonds. One-hah of this
almost inconceivably vast sum would
rebuild every mile Of road In the
United States at an average cost Of,
say. s6,l66 per mile, and the other half
would furnish yearly income of 5000
per mile for their repair and mainte-
nance. At present the people spend
the vast sum Of $4,000. 900 each year
in the repairing Of their worthless
roads This sum would build 1000
miles Of thoroughly good macadam
road. sufficiently wide for rural pur-
poses. Experiments made in the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station
show that in nearly oil road condi-
tions broad-tired wagons pull easier
than those with narrow tires. On q
macadam road load of 2,51S pounds
can be hauled on broad tires with the
same draught as load Of 1000 on
narrow ones. On gravel road. except
when wet and sloppy on top, the
draught Of the broadtired wagon is
much less than that of the narrow
tired wagon; load of Ease pounds
can be hauled on broad tires with the
draught required for 1000 pounds on
narrow tires. The trials on dirt roads
give varying results. When it is dry,
hard and free from dust $3.50 pounds
can be hauled'on broad tires with the
draught required for 1000 pounds on
narrow tires. When the surface Is
covered with two or three inches of
dry, loose dirt the results are unfa-
vorable to the broad tire. In general
the better the road the greater the
advantage to the broad tire.

HENRY FouRNIER ANp n1s TRIcYLE.

HENRY FoURNIER AND HIS TRICYLE.
 Fournier is in deadly earnest in his determination to attain a speed of for ty-five miles an hour. To see him on one of his test trips is a sight never to be forgotten. He flies along with bulging eyes fixed on the ground over which he is flying, hair streaming in the wind and the pufing motor work ing at such speed as to make one tremble to think of the fate of the rider should any untoward accident cause a spill. He seems to know no fear when going like the wind on these risky trips. By constant practice he has become an expert in the manipu- lation of the petroleum tricycle., and will turn curve while going at q dizzy speed of forty-fiye miles an hour with all the reeklessness of a boy.
 His performance suggests the grave danger that would accompany trips such as his on a road where similar machines are dashing along.
