G E N E r A L NOTES

The bishop of Carlisle is a cycling eccle-
siastic of decided views. He considers that
the bicycle comes a long-felt want and
is an invaluable aid to church workers,
especially to the poor clergy-and there are
plenty such-particularly in country par
ishes, where there are long distances to be
covered in the course of visiting. The
bishop is Trinity Oublin) man, and be-
fore his present elevation was archdeacon
of Liverpool and Bishop Of Sodor and Man.

even better results by its new alliance
In some OF the racing models of the '9S
wheels the clearance of the frame over the
tires is very small. On the front wheel
this is sometimes less than one-quarter of
an inch. These wheels would certainly
give trouble If ridden on the road on a
muddy day.
An agreement has been reached between

Starbuch in Philadelphia two weeks ago,
but he expects TO resume racing in a few

Short steering heads are seen on many
OF the 1873 models. A short head does not
give as steady steering as the old-fash-
toned long steering head. But they are
rendered necessary by the close build of
the new models in many cases.

During the last twenty years more than
twelve thousand miles Of free gravel roads
have been constructed. The toll roads, with
but few executions. have been purchased
and made free. Goods roads being abso-
lutely essential to the higher development
socially. intellectually and financially,
therefore road improveme mt Is indicative
of substantial growth, and no state in the
Union can point with greater pride to her
roads than Indiana.
The good work has only just begun. In
every county in the state the farmers are
awakening to the necessity of better high
ways. They realize the advantages of good
roads, and in almost every community they
are lending their cordial support to any
plan which provides for the Improvement
OF the roads, Hundreds of miles of dirt
roads In this state are now being made in
to graveled turnpikes. and as this work
gees on and the different communities are
connected one with another by good grav
eled roads. so will Indiana develop all of
her boundlesS resources"
Another friend of good roads. who is
working with the executive committee of
the indianapolis '9S Meet Club, is John
McGregor. county commissioner and chair
man OF the, committee on the condition of
county roads. Mr.. McGreger in the selec-
ton of his committee, chose two young
men from each township in the county
farmers and wheelmen. He placed each
township in the hands of the two commit
teemen. and holds these sptnsibe for the
&C ndition of the roads in their district.
They are expected to go over their roads
If possible once week, report their condi-
ton to the road supervisor in their district
and tell him just what is needed on each
road 10 bring it up to first-class condition,
and to make a weekly report to the chair
man of the committee. These reports will
be published, and the wheelmen of the
county and also the farmers will be able
TO tell from week to week just what work
is being done. 1t is thought much friendly
rivalry can be established between the diff
wi q Ea
great interest in seeing that their roads are
put In Al condition and kent there.

An important Suggestion Is made under
the mead OF bicycles and buggies. which is
Weieoned oy az dealers, especially those

ana oftentlmes must devote time from his
business to hunt up and secure that which
was supposed to be rented to honorable
people. The prosecution to conviction and
penalty or a few such miscreants would
soon put stop to this particularly pro-
Voklng and costly kind of dishonesty
Another good paragraph relates to the
dlstlnction of vehicles, and it's practical en-
1orcement would prove beneficial to the
Wheelmen. 1t is as follows:
Every now and then horrible accidents
result and Outlines death ensues from
ieShieSS VI last driving, ana IN several IN
stances the police have been unable to ap-
prehend the guilty parties to such affairs.
A primary reason for this inability Is that
tne Ven1cles driven are of such nature
mat fuli and distinguishable feature by
Whlch they may be recognized after such
accidents does not exist. Would it not be
Wen, then, to require all persons doing
business within the District of Columbia

they might be readily distinguished? A
sign or a number on a wagon would fur

The report of the property clerk regard
ing stolen wheels, while furnishing good
data, Is rather incomplete, as no state
ment Is furnished regarding the number of
given in the value of stolen articles re-
covered, but still the exact number of
wheels recovered is not printed. If such a
list be kept its publication would prove of
additional value, inasmuch 1t would

this direction. The stolen wheels are as

KNOWS ALL LANGUAGES
The Translator of Quo Vadis" and His
Personal characteristics.
His Views Of the Future of Nations
and Why He FavOrs Hawaiian
Annexation.

Jeremiah Curtin, the transla tor of Henryk
Sienkiewiczs novel, "Qro Vadis,'' is spend
ing part of the winter in Washington.
Curtin is indeed one of the most unique
characters among American Htterateurs. He
is a native Of Milwaukee and a graduate
from Harvard College. Since 1888 he has
been connected with the bureau Of ethnol-
ogy. but has been away on a leave of abb
sence for three or four years.
In appearance Mr.. Curtin is of a trine
more than average height. His face is an
intellectual enc. 1t would look more SO
were it not for his lonG-fowing Pefferfan
beard of red, with which he enjoys daIlying
His hair is also red. and he wears it combed
straight up and back, which gives him
fierce look. However. when one talks with
Mr.. Curtin, he SOcn finds that he is of a
most Gocile and passive disposition, and
that the exterior is no criterion of his inner
soul.
a Star reporter spent q pleasant hour
with Mr.. Curtin in his apartments at VIII
lari's few days ago. 1t was with some
reluctance that the distinguished student of
languaS es ccrsented to talk, but what he
did say is given herewith:
Il have studied the languages from boy
hood" said he. Il cannot remember when
a book printed in a foreign language did
not interest me. Studying was not a work
fer me; it was the most profound pleasure.
Wherever l go l carry with me books
printed in other languages, and 1 do
much reading a l did i'll my younger days.
Il familiar with all of the modern
languages especially with the Slavonic lam
guages. the main ones of which are Rus

most of the countries of Europe. i have
been through Russia lengthwise and cross

selves around these two. The soul of the
world that speaks English is in America
ard the physical force to make themselves
the English-speaking people.
THE Russians, on the eastern hemi-
sphere, are the leading Slav people. The
ward to the Pacific ocean is Slav now by
race, and will be Slav politically in a future
not very remote. This Slav question is the
greatest political question in Europe since
the rise of the Roman empire.
The social and personal relations be-
tween America and the British empire are
intimate and very cordial; we like the peo-
pie, but they and we are distinct political
personalities. The American idea is differ
ent from the English. There was time in
history when certain number of English
Elen found it impossible to live in that
country. Those men came to America to
live, as they thought just and right. Later,
at various times, other men associated
themselves with these. and from that has
grown the United States of America. which
is in politics what Christianity is in re-
lision.
christianity made all men equal before
God: the United States has made all men
equal before the law. We protect a big
in his greatness and a small man in
his weakness. We defend the man who has
hundred millions and a man who has
Gre cent with the same legal acuteness and
sincerity
In Favor of Hawaiian Annexation.
Asked to express himself regarding the
proposed annexation of Hawaii by the
United States, Mr.. Curtin said
The Hawaiian Islands are ours with
stronger moral right than any law that
has ever come to civilized people The
Americans ChristianiZed Hawaii and have
given to the people of those islands those
things which are human progress
TO my thinking, the annexation of Ha-
wall belongs to an order of questions not
so important as the winning of the indie
pendence of the United States or the es-
Establishment of the Union, but I know 1t
is the turning point in American his
tory
Mr.. Curtin and Mrs Curtin have recent
ly returned from Europe, where they went
last June. They spent the summer in
Switzerland and Travelled considerably in
Austria and Russia. Previous to that they
spent year in Guatemala and Mexico
travelling through the entire country of
Mexico. Part of the journey was made by
horseback.
The accompanying picture was taken by
Mrs. Curtin at the ruins of Palenque, Mex.
Her husband is dressed in the travelling
costume of the Mexicans
Mr.. Curtain recently received a check
for S24,SOO from the publishers of Quo
Vadis,' that amount being his share Of
the proceeds of the sales of the book thus
far.
