That II the Way PArlsiAns Bicyolists Get
Them Cared for During the Winter.


An amusing phase of Partisan life
has excited attention this week owing
to the advent of better weather. For
several days past the state pawnshops
have received the visits of stream Of
bicyclists, come to redeem the wheels
which they pledged at the beginning OF
the winter.
To house bicycle during the inclem-
ent season is comparatively costly in
Paris. As result, the ingenious en-
thusiast has found that the cheapest
way out of the difficulty is to confide
his machine to the pawnshop. All he
has to pay is the trifiing interest on the
money advanced him. The expedient,
moreover, is as excellent as 1t Is cheap.
The pawnshop never is sure that II
will not have to sell the bicycle in or
der to recover the loan and consequent
ly it takes utmost care of the machines
entrusted to 1t, carefully housing them
in dry rooms and keeping them well
oiled and attended to. The accommo-
dations of the state pawnshops have
been tested to the utmost during the
past winter and as the transactions
are far from profitable the manage.

foreseen demand on Its services.

Sweden and Rygen, at a cost OF 2.220.-
600 crowns; the riksdag has appropri-
ated 2.9s4,000 crowns for the extension
of the telephone system throughout
Sweden; the Opdal-Sundals railroad
will be built this year in Norway, at a
cost of 100000 crowns; nine thousand

An orange tree that will grow and
bear fruit as far north as St. Louis
and Philadelphia is promised by the
officials of the agricultural depart
ment. The destruction of orange crops
and groves in recent years through
frosts in northern Florida directed the
attention of Secretary Wilson to a
search for some measure of relief for
the owners who have been suffering
financial loss. He has been superin-
tending the crossing of the Florida
orange and the Japanese trifoliata. a
hardy variety of fruit and now has
several thousand of the hybrid plants.
which will be set out during the pres
ent spring. The experts believe that
the new orange will survive frost and
a moderate amount Of cold, and are
confident that the experiment will re-
suit in producing trees in which the
excellency of the Florida orange Will
be combined with the hardness OF the
Japanese plant. If the experiment sue
ceeds the department will materially
assist in reviving the orange industry,
not only in Florida. but in other South
ern states. and will at the same time
assure the orange-eaters of ar unfail-
ing supply.

AN INTELLIGENCER FAKE.
An Alleged Conference in Parkers-
burg That Conferred Only in the
Organs Imagination.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-I have read with considerable
amusement an editorial in the Intelli-
gencer of yesterday and another arti-
Gle in the same paper of to-day, regard
ing an alleged conference between Col.
McGraw and the Chiltons at Parkers-
burg last Sunday. AS Col. McGraw
was in Washington that day and as
Major Joe Chiffon was known to have
favored the nomination of Col. Tom
Davis for Governor, the question would
arise, Where did your contemporary
get its information regarding this re-
markable conference, attended, it
seems, by nobody and held nowhere?
However, as the information dished
out in those two editorials contains as
much truth (and no more) than is
usually found in political articles
emanating from the same source, it is
useless to make any further inquiry as
to its origin. Xxx.

Of the Beers dfed III praying attitude.
Many flung down their arms as soon as
they saw the fash Of the Iances, clasping
their hands above their heads, and begged
for mercy. But they had shown no mercy
to US, and this was our revenge.
In addition to this, charges are made
against the British soldiers of footing
and the robbery of Boer prisoners. In
contrast to this, English correspond
ents, Mr.. Stevens among them, point
out that English prisoners were treated
kindly by the Beers, who took nothing
from them. These correspondents also
refute the claim that the slaughter of
the Beers was in retaliation for white
flag abuses, declaring that the British
Lancers who massacred the unarmed,
crouching, kneeling, praying Beers,
were crying wipe ont Majuba!" RE
member Majuba!" proving that it was
simply vicious revenge for the old de-
feat at the hands of the Beers at Ma
juba Hill that the British soldiers
sought, and not retaliation for previous
outrages and brutalities or abuses of
the white flag, which have been official
ly denied and refuted.
That the British war office has be-
come alarmed at the exposure of the
uncivilized methods of the English
troops in this war is evident from the
fact that efforts have been made SINH
lar to those adopted by our own Gen.
Otis in the Philippines to have the COM
munications of the soldiers to their
homes censored. Hence an order has
been issued from the London war Of
flee that censorship be established
over the soldiers correspondence from
the front. The English government
wants no further revelations of English
atrocities.
In this connection, it is worth re-
membering that the same charges were
brought against Gen. Kitchener's COM
mand in the Soudan campaign, when it
was charged that the British slaugh-
tered unarmed and wounded Dervishes.
The charge was not denied but justifi-
cation was pleaded on the ground that
the Dervishes feigned death in order
to take British soldiers unawares.
Hence, all the Dervish wounded were
cold-bloodedly murdered after the fight
as a safeguard!
Alas! for English military gallantry!
Where is the difference between these
British soldiers and the naked savage
warrior to whom they thus carry the
light of civilization"

ONE OF THE ORGANS FAKES,

In another column will be found a
communication calling attention to an
editorial article in the Intelligencer re-
garding an alleged conference between
Col. John T. McGraw and the Chiltons
in Parkersburg on Sunday week.
Our esteemed correspondent thinks
the Register should call attention to
the fact that no such conference occur
red and could not have occurred, since
Mr.. McGraw on the date named was in
Washington, D. C. Our correspondent
mentions other facts in this connection
showing the manifest untruthfulness
and absurdity of the Fourteenth street
organs comments on this alleged con-
ference.
If our correspondent were regular
reader of the Intelligencer he would
not take the matter so seriously. This
bit of misrepresentation, bald and made
out of the whole cloth as it is, is but a
sample of our neighbors political news
If the Register attempted to correct
every misstatement the organ made
about Democrats and the Democracy we
would have space for little else. We
fail to recall just how old the organ is,
but it is fact that it hasn't told the
truth about a Democrat for over forty
years, and it is rather late to break the
habit now.
