WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES.
HIS NEW BICYCLE WAS BADLY
WRECKED,
But He Stopped Runaway Horse,
and Probably Saved Two
Lives.

William Jones was happy man yes
terday, but he went to bed last night
with a heavy heart. Bill" as he is
best known, is the janitor Of the Rec
ord-Union" building. His heart is
whittier than his skin, and that is why
it had a. load to bear last night.
Bill is an aH-round athlete. Besides
being handy with his dukes he is
an expert cyclist. The other day he
discarded the old wheel he had ridden
for a long time and blew in a months
salary on a new one. No boy with his
first pair of boots was ever happier
than he when yesterday morning he
mounted his shining wheel and made
tour of the streets in the vicinity of
| the homes of various dark skinned
maidens, and many a compliment was
passed on the grace of the athlete as
he whirled past the windows.
When the shades of night had fallen
Bill got together two or three of his
friends and set the pace for them in a
spin out to Oak Park. AS he was
burning up the rocky pavement in the
vicinity of Twentieth and O streets he
found himself confronted by a runaway
horse attached to buggy in which
| were seated a man and woman. The
man had lost one of the lines and the
horse was dashing down o street at a
mad pace, accelerated at every jump
| by the screams Of the woman
| Bill Jones did not do as many would
have done in like circumstanceS-turn
/ off to one side and let the horse dash
by without an effort to stop him. AS
the maddened animal doomed up before
him in the darkness, Bill leaped from
his bicycle Holding it with one hand,
he swung the other and landed on the
horses java trick he learned in the
roped arena. AT the same time he
gripped the bride in his ironlike list.
! The horse stopped-it couldn't help
itself, but, oh! at what a cost to the
brave wheelmani In the equine war
dance that ensued the horses feet
got mixed up with Bills brand new BIZ
cycle, and when the thing was rescued
it was a sight to behold. The front
wheel looked as if it had been run
| through the Folsom rock-cruSher, ana
| the shower of thanks that the nccu-
pants of the buggy poured on the haa1
| of their rescuer were lost to him as
he dragged the mangled remains into
the glare of an electric light and gazed
on the twisted and pulverized thing
that a moment before was the pride
of his heart. His grief is said to
have been pitiful.
After relating his woes last night
Bill was assured by friend that the
wheel could be made as good as new,
and was asked if the man whose lie
he had perhaps saved had not offered
/ to at least pay for the damages his
wheel had uStained.
"Oh, yes,'' Bill replied; hes a shore
huff gentleman. He jis' tole me LOT
ter take it ter a cyclometry an have
it all fixed up an he'd pay for 1T.
"Of course he told you his name, ana
where he could be found"
! A scared look overspread Bits race
! in an instant He scratched his hean
a moment and then broke out:
"'Clare ter goodness, eff I didn't fer
git ter ask the gemman his name!
But shore he'll do as he said he would,
don't yer Think" a4G
| And Bill wen to bed to dream OF run
away horses and his wrecked bicycle.

LEGISLATIVE CELEBRATION.
A Good Precedent for Future Fol-
1owing-Good Speeches.

The Assembly Chamber was comfort
ably filled last evening, on which &C.
casiOn the members were hosts and
their guests were many ladies and gem
tlemen who came to listen to some fit
ting tributes to the great President.
the great leader, the beloved father Of
the Union.
No formality was observed excepting
that some of the paraphernalia of the
daily labors of the Assembly had van
ished from the Speakers and the
Clerks desks, comfortable seats had
been provided for all who came, and
the full brilliance of the electric lights
studded the ceiling and shone from
every chandelier and sconce. Many
ladies We're present and a spirit of at
tention and interest seemed to pervade
the audience.
In the simplest manner and with pro-
priety Speaker Anderson greeted the
assemblage, welcoming them to the in
formal and impromptu celebration OF
the birthday of the man in whose
honor this day is declared legal holt
day. Speaker Anderson bespoke for
those who We're to address them a toll
Grafton which was due them on ac-
count of the absence of time for prep
aration. He would introduce first, he
said, man we'll known to all for mis-
lofty patriotism, his serious thought,
and his ability to express that thought
the Hon. Grove L. Johnson. The name
was greeted with hearty applause
Mr.. Johnson's address was clear-cut,
symmetrical and we'll considered, given
with a force and an eloquence which
compelled attention. and in construc-
ton and conception the speech was a
worthy vehicle for the patriotic
thought it conveyed. 1t was wholly
extemporaneous and without prepare
ton, save such as Mr.. Johnson is al
ways equipped with-that of we'll
stored mind.
In opening, Mr.. Johnson said that
every American, however lacking in
education, no matter how arduous his
daily toll, whether native and to the
manor born, or whether here by virtue
of his own choice, is ready to say that
he is proud of George Washington as
the Father of the country of his birth
,.or of his adoption.
The lessons to be learned from the
personality and the life of Washing
ton, the speaker said, are many and
manifold. His history as man shows
