--Eulogies Of the bicycle are common
enough, says the New York Times, but
such praise as the steel steed received from
the Secretary Of the Navy. IN a speech de-
livered this week before the assembled
Unitarians of New England has been heard
rarely indeed. II used TO fear said Mr..
Long, that with these extravagant ana
exaggerated fortunes, these accumulatlons
of great wealth, there might come some
sharp violence between the rich and the
poor But how does the difference be-
tween the rich and the poor manifest
itself? What is the one symbol that used
to mark the poor man from the rich man?
I have sometimes thought IL was summed
up in just one fact-that the rich man
could ride while the poor man goes afoot."
Then came the astonishing part of the
speech: THAT whole danger has been en-
tirely dissipated. Not by teachings OF the
Church, not by any new theology not
even by the sweet persuasion of religion,
but by the invention of a man who ought
to have a monument erected to him as
much as the man who discovered ether or
Martin Luther-by the invention of the
man who invented the bicycle. The BIZ
cycle Is the great safety Of modern days.
The man who owns a bicycle rides his
own stecd. He throws his dust in the
face of the man in the carriage, so that
II Is no longer pleasant TO ride our coun-
try roads in a coach and four" Ii Is hard
to see just how the theory works out, but
there Is evidently something in It for ev-
erybody who hunts long enough.

terday's dispatch, Brown Hadley was ac-
Quilted to-day of the murder of the Mime
sofa soldier, Dennis O'Connell, as soon as
the case was turned over to the jury.
Hon. Boykin Wright made a great
speech in conclusion for the defense and

long enough to write the verdict Of not

]. d. Hilton, the young man who sent
the note to Juror Boyce yesterday was
fined s25 or thirty days in jail. Judge
Rrinson said he made the penalty so light
because ne was convinced that Hilton act

that he imposed the fine as a lesson to
him and a warning to others.

Once Clara Ward, of Detroit.
The unhappy woman who lies in a stu
por in her plague-stricken villa just out
side of Alexandria was once Clara Ward
daughter of old Elmer Ward of Detroit
shipowner shipbulder timber magnate,
spirltualist, mlser and man OF many love
affairs.
There was talnt that appeared In diff
ferent forms in various members OF the
tful but she had Wild impulses, and she
encountered nothing In her home life TO
discourage them.
At the age of II, with 100000 OF her
own, her mother engineered a match be-
tween her and Prince Joseph de Chimay
and de Caraman, head OF the historic
Belgian house OF that name. The we'd
ding took place in Paris Lord Lytton
the English ambassador, and Whitelaw
Reid, the American minister were the
witnesses for the bride. who wore a dress
that had cost $4,000.
Marriage did not restrain Clara Wards
impulses; it merely enlarged her oppor-
tunifies Her husband was too cynical
to concern himself with his wlfe's amuse-
ments
Prince Baldwin, the pronigate heir 10
the Belgian throne, fell in love with her.
While the scandal was at its hight he
died suddenly and mysterlously. Gossips
talked about a jealous husband. Later
they talked about Jealous King.
Outdid All Her Former Exploits.
The Princess Chimay kept the scandal
mongers of Europe busy by many ex-
ploits after that; but they all faded into
insiguificance when she flung herself at
the head of the leader of a Hungarian
band in a cafe chantant-Jancsi Rigo, the
gypsy
She did not tire Of him, as might have
been expected. 1t was the passion OF her
life. She had already borne him one child
before this tragic double birth in Alex
andria.
After hinging away all the world for
the gypsy, Clara Ward abandoned herself
TO recklessness. She seemed to study out
means to shock and offend society. This
was probably less innate wickedness than
a pitiful feminine way of hurting defiance
at the world, and 1t is needless to recapit-
ulafe the follies OF one whom fate has
overtaken so crushingly.
