New Cycle fer the Nursemaid

A nursemaid's cycle is the latest inven-
ton in the wheel line. Very appropriate
ly, the inventor of this boon to maids
and babies is a Brooklyn man. A. c.
kuster Is his name.
1t is tricycle., the two front wheels of
which are quite close together Above
these is passenger seat resembling a
small reclining chair. For use in carry
ing an infant out to air the passenger
seat is provided with a hinged bottom,
making the bottom part adjustable at a
level with the seat in order to form bed
for the infant while sleeping A foot rest
at the bottom serves as the foot of the
bed.
The front wheels are pivotal in separate
forks and hold the machine upright I'M
der all ordinary conditions, thus preserv-
ing the passenger from accidents from
tipping over. The other parts of the ma
chine frame, rear wheels, pedals, saddle.
etc. are the same as in the ordinary BIZ
cycle.
The steering is done with the front
wheels. Stability is maintained by the
support of the machine being constantly
upon three fined points, by mounting the
wheels in separate pivoted frames and
connecting them with the handle bar so
as to turn them simultaneously.

Paris, April 16.-The Figaro continu-
ing to-day its publication of the testi-
| mony offered before the court of cassa-
| ton in the Dreyfus revision proceed

good part is devoted to a further state
ment of Colonel Picquart's evidence. He
told the court that the document bear
ing the phrase ''canaille de d was in
no way applicable 10 Dreyfus. on ac-
count of the incredible explanation
given as to the manner in which it
was acquired.
Colonel Picquart said he believed it

tutlng the secret dOssier could refer to
Dreyfus and asserted that at the close
of the conversation he had on the sub

claimed: Then il seems we are mis-

Vey to General De Boisdeffre. chief of

ought to be distinct.
Dealing with the manner in which the
oordereau was obtained, Colonel Pic
quart recounted conversation, in
which Colonel Du Patty de Clam told
him that Dreyfus. after denying the
authorship of the bOrdereau, said it's
writing resembled that of his friend
Captain Brault. In this connection Col
onel Flcquart noted story told by
Commandant Tsterhazy at his trial to
the effect that a certain Captain Brault
had asked for a specimen of Ester
Hays handwriting. Colonel Du Patty
de Clam had also informed Colonel Pic
quart how he had attached the
canalle de d" document found i'm the
intelligence bureau to the bordereau.
Colonel Picquart then alluded to the
protests of innocence made by Dreyfus
and to the fact that the alleged con-
fession to Captain Lebrun Renaud We're
never verified and this could be only re-
garded as baseless rumor He said that
when he first went over the directions
of the intelligence bureau, General De
Bolsdetfre toiu him the Dreyfus affair
was only beginning and asked him to

Germany's Difficult Path.

London, April 1.-THE Berlin CORE
spondent of tae Times suggests as one
reason why an endeavor has been made
by Germany to differentiate the attitude
of Great Britain from that of the United
States in the Samoan affair is the fact
that Germany is engaged in difficult
commercial relations with the United
States and that chauvnist attacks on
America might have an awkward conse-
quenCe. He adds:
Both England and the United States
have every reason to desire an increase of
Baron Won Buelow's authority, since in
the commercial negotiations with both
country he has shown that, in Emperor
Williams words, Germany's foreign policy
marched under the banner of interna-
tional trade and traffic."

FIGHTING A SHADOW.
Germans Will Oppose an Anglo Ameri-

Chicago, April 1.-THE German
Americans of Chicago meet to-mor-
row night to formulate plans for the
organization of an association national!
IN character and having as the object
opposition to an Anglo-American alli-
ance. EN-Congressman William Voicke
said to-day:
The meeting will be one of the most
remarkable gatherings ever assembled
in Chicago. Every German American
organization, no matter what it's ma
ture, will be represented by one or more
able men. We are going to form a great
and powerful association to defeat the
ends of those anglomaniacs who are
shrieking for an offensive and defensive
alliance between the United States and
Great Britain We who have German
blood in our veins are aggrieved at
the efforts being made to antagonize
the United States and Germany. The
two countries should have the best of
feeling, the one for the other. But
there need never be a formal alliance
between them. The United States are
strong enough to take care of them
selves"
