bicycle paths. Inc measure was drafted
because of the fact that Boston built a
path for wheelmen on Massachusetts ave
nue., and before the bicycles had a chance
to use it the track was ruined by team
sters.
Miss Jennie Hancock. nurse, of Pill
Belmore street. Philadelphia. has received
letter from Berlin. Germany, stating
that George Richtman, a lawyer, who for
a short time lived in Philadelphia, recent
ly died there and bequeathed to her $92,-
900. Miss Hancock who is 20 years old,
says Richtman fell in love with her some
time ago and offered to marry her, but
she rejected him because she did not love
him, as he was above her station.
Canada has not yet either forgotten or
forgiven that it was Kipling who fasten-
ed upon her the name of THE Lady of
the Shows" The Ottawa Citizen ex-
presses the lingering resentment of this
phrase by remarking: I'VE wouldn't like
to say that it was a case of poetic justice
but here Rudyard Kipling, the gentleman
who wrote THE Lady Of the Shows"
comes over to New York, lands in the
midst of a 'steen-below-zero blizzard. and
is laid up with what Mr. DoOley would
call pee-neumonia. If he had carried out
his original intention and wintered up
here in the banana belt of this fair domin-
ion, all might have been WE'LL
All sorts of trick jewelry are to be
found both for men and women, says the
New York Times. A sporting man has a
representation of a favorite racer in a
pin, and by pressing a tiny button it is
set in motion and gallops along as natural
as life; a humorous lawyer has a watch
with a concealed reservoir of perfumery
which can be sprayed into the face of a
friend when it is being wound, if the
owner so desires, and a woman with a
heavy bracelet can give too inquisitive
friends an electric shock. The up-to-date
bracelet is quite heavy enough to allow
the insertion of a battery. But all these
things are as nothing to the trick Orna-
ments that can be found on Fourteenth
street. They have the "Klondike tooth
there. 1t is a gold shell to fit over a
tooth, and the great delight of 1t is, as
the vendor says, that ii can he slipped
on and off a hundred times a day"
DO Wall street men drink? is a ques-
ton frequently asked, and the answer is
Yes" from the biggest man in the street
to make the smallest Spectator, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Many of the more
noted bankers and brokers never touch
drop until after business hours; but there
are men of great consequence in the whirl-
pool of speculation who cannot decide
which way the eat is going to jump I'M
less they have gazed into the bottom of
several glasses that had been fill
ed with "a little Of the same"
And there are many who have not the
courage to invest unless Jagged" There
are numerous instances here where men
have won fortunes by taking a drink;
and, on the other hand, that same drink
has cost not only fortunes but regulations.
A handsome majority of Wall street men
drink Few drink to excess. Those who
never touch drop are the conservatives.
The bold, fearless operators are half drunk
all the time.
The Supreme Court of New York,
Judge Gildersleeve presiding has decided
that boy of 16 ought to have an allow
ance of 81 500 a year to defray college ex-
penses, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. This
is the case of Richard Delafield Shipman
Shipman is an orphan, the heir to a con-
siderable fortune which is held in trust
for him. Up to last fall, when he entered
Harvard he was getting an allowance Of
$1,000 a year. Shortly after his arrival at
Cambridge he applied for an increase Of
$500, itemized as follows: Tuition, $500;
clothing, $500; books and stationery, SIS;
board and lodging, s., 200 travelling ex-
penses $3.50; personal expenses, $3.50; mis-
celfaneous expenses, $1,000. The court
wisely or mold not inquire into the de-
tails of the last two items but promptly
issued an order upon the executors of the
estate to increase the allowance as re-
quested.
The long barrel stave, curved and ia
pering at both ends, is so familiar that
it is hard to conceive a barrel made in
any other manner, but there are economI-
cal difficulties in the way of manufacture
ing these slaves that barrel makers would
like to overcome. Considerable time and
expense are entailed in securing the neces-
sary swell to the board, and there is much
wastage in obtaining the tapering ends.
A barrel which the inventor. Rob
ert I, Hargroves of Churchland
Va, thinks will overcome these
difficulties has been recently patent
ed. The stave is wedge-shape, tapering
from end to end rather than from the
middle to the ends, and in making the
barrel the wide and narrow ends are plac-
ed alternately. By this arrangement the
barrel is given the essential swell at the
center. For handling commodities OF
finer composition it is proposed to make a
barrel consisting of two layers of these
slaves, one within the other, the slaves
relation to those of the inner section.
People who claim that women have
never invented anything received a IA
nous setback at the beginning of the
week, says a Paris letter in the New York
Herald when a former actress sent 10 her
rival some cachets reputedly containing a
remedy against fairness. The intended
victim does not seem to have been over
weighted with confidence in her former
friends intention, or else she had double
dose of Ewes curiosity. AT any rate she
only took one of these cachets, then opened
the others, and found them fun of the
tiniest fishhooks instead of anti-fat. AS
these little barbed affairs had already be-
gan 10 make trouble in the victims inner
organization, she had Mile. Regime Mar
tial, the actress in question: arrested
Probably Mile. Regime had grown accus-
toned to the idea of crime on the stage
for she was formerly attached to tibet
home of glory melodrama, the Ambign
What is particularly cheering is her re-
mark when arrested that she did not want
