SHAKESPEARE A scoRCHER.
The Bicycle Was Popular Even in
 His Day.

Shakespeare, it would seem, must
 have known something about bicycles
 for throughout his plays he makes ire
 Quent reference to the wheel, says a home circle student who has been dig
 ging into the bard. 1t must be that
 Hamlet's father had visited a bicycle
 academy where beginners on the wheel
 were plenty, for the ghost said: What
 a falling off was there!" This most
 excellent description is paralleled by
 another in the same play, in which I reference is made to an accident, the
 new woman Of the sixteenth century | being evidently the greater sufferer. l The first player says: Break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel" /" Then the fool in Lear" gives advice | to coasters, of the merits of which the modern rider may judge for himself.
 He says: Let go thy hold when a
 great wheel runs down hill lest it break thy neck with following it. Even Cleopatra had her wheel. An tony advises her to mount 1t and seek Caesar, when he says; 'Of Caesar
 seek thy honor, on your safety" There
 was evidently bicycle thieves h those days and owners had to carefully
 guard their precious wheels. In "The Tempest Alonzo says to the king:
 ''We, tcI5, my lord, will guard your
 person while you take your rest, and watch your safety" In the same play Ariel undoubtedly heard the king and
 his attendants coming on their wheels when he sung: 'HHark! Now I hear them. Ding, dong, bell" There is no
 doubt that Achilles in "Trollus and Crassida" travelled on bicycle for he says to the myrmidons: Attend me while I wheel" It is safe to assume that, as today the wheel is never end- ing source of compensation, so was it at the time of Titus Andronicus, though tha listener was more patient then. Aaron says to Demetrius: Now talk at pleasure of ylcur safety" It appears from a quotation made by the kings in "All's Well That Ends Wen,'' that the law requires lamps to be carried at night, and that violation of it was death. He says: Let me live after my flame lacks oil'' Chains were not noiseless, and bells were used in the days of The Comedy of Errors,' as shown by a conversation between the Dronio of Syracuse and Ariadna which runs thus: "A chain, a chain; do you not hear it? What-ithe chain? No, no; the bell'' The availability of wheels in dangerous service is illus trated in "Coriolanus," when the wind ed messenger was sent to Cominius: Spies Of the Volsces held me in chase that 1 was forced to wheel three or four miles about; else had I, sir, half an hour since brought my report The tire of which Shakespeare wrote was evidently filled with hair instead of air, and even it's color was of import ance. In Much Ado About Nothing Margaret says: ''I like the new tire within excellentIy, if the hair were thought browner.'' Puck's prophetic remark about placing a girdle around the world in forty minutes is fully equaled by that of Launce in The Two Gentlemen of Verona when he says: ''Then may I set the world on wheels'' Surely the prophecy has been fulfilled.

The Columbia Launched.

Bristol, R. l., June ll.-America' S new
cup defender, the representative OF the
best bodybuilding skill and materials of
which the western continent can boast,
was carefully lowered into the water at
the Herreschoff works at $3.50 o'clock last
night, and as she started down the ways.
Mrs. Oliver c. lselin christened her "Col-
umbia." The launching of the latest pro-
tector of Uncle Sans sailing laurels was
probably one of the most spectacular that
has ever occurred, for the light of the day
had almost faded when she started down
the ways.

Car Riots in Cleveland.

Cleveland o., June l3.-After quiet
Sunday, the struggle between the Big Con
solidated railway and its employees was
renewed in lively fashion yesterday.
The company started the first car from
the Lakeview barns at 10 o'clock, guarded
by deputies and manned by imported men,
The crowds jeered and some missiles were
thrown. The next two cars dashed from
the barns across the railroad crossing with
out stopping, violating the city ordinance
The strikers secured warrants for the
crews of these cars, and both of the new
motormen were arrested.

The Rebels Scattered.

manila, June 9.-Adjutant General,
Washington: The result of the move
ments in Morong province was to drive
the insurgents into the mountains, cap
turing Antipoli and other towns in that
section. They retreated and scattered be-
fore our advance, leaving 20 dead on the
field. Our loss is four killed and few
wounded, mostly slight. The city of Mo
rong is garrisoned. All other troops are
withdrawn.
"Inhabitants of the provinces profess
friendship, and ask protection. Large
numbers wish to enter Manila, but were
refused, as the city's population is incre1s-
ing too rapidly. The leading natives
about the island, including active insur-
gent leaders, ask permission to send their
families to Manila, as it is considered the
only place of personal security"
The conclusions drawn by the war de-
partment officials concerning the condi-
ton in the Philippines given in the dis
patch of General Otis, are that the in
surgents are little more than marauding
band which will continually decrease when
the men find there is life and liberty I'M
der American government. The people
who are coming into the American line
asking protection are considered like those
who sought protection in the forts during
the early stages of American development
in the west.
Nothing is said as to the intention of
Otis to continue active hostilities, but
this matter is left wholly to his discretion
and he will no doubt fight or rest as the
circumstances determine.
Return of the Volunteers.
The Oregons request to defer the time
of their departure until the 18th. They
will leave for Portland on the transports
Ohio and Newport. The Sixth infantrys
arrival will relieve the Californians at
Negros. The Hancock sails in few days
with the Nebraska and other troops.
General Otis has been advised that it is
the wish of the president that all arrange
ments be made to give the returning
troops a comfortable voyage and that the
best care of them be taken so that no
sickness may break out among them.
1t is also said that precautions will be
taken not to load the transports too heav-
lily so that the returning troops may have
plenty of room.
The battleship Oregon will soon be sta
toned off Dagupan, in the gulf of Lin
gayen, on blockade duty.

The fight at Las Pinas continued holly
all day long. Lawton called out his whole
force of 5000 men, and at 5 o'clock he was
only able to push the insurgents back 800
yards to the Seapote river, where they are
ntrenched. The insurgents resisted des-
perately and aggressively. They attempted
to turn the left flank of the American
troops. The American loss is conservative
ly estimated at 90. The battle continues.
