DETERMINED TO BAG HIM.

A rather neat story is being told
concerning a country doctor who was
going on his rounds one morning with
his gun on his shoulder. He was a
keen sportsman, as are many of the
faculty whose practice lies in the
places where sport abounds, and was
looking forward to polishing off lit
tie ground game when his profession
al visits were over. A friend meeting
him, and seeing him with the gun, ex
claimed, Where are you going, doctor,
so early in the day, with that deadly
weapon on your shoulder" (The
medical man, it is stated, was we'll
known as a crack shot) I'm hurry
ing off to see a patient" he replied.
We'll" said his friend, Il see you are
determined not to miss him."-London

THE STERLING CONSIDERED THE
BEST WHEEL MADE

AS the constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;
AS the constant gnaw of tiger
Masticates the toughest bone;
AS the constant, cooling lover
Carries off blushing maid,''
So the constant cycle rider
Says the Sterling'S the best wheel
made.
Many and varied are the bicycles
which are now offered to the riding
public; some good, others fairly So;
but more which are scarcely worthy
Of the name. To the inexperienced
wheelman all wheels look alike to him,
as they are enameled, nickeled and
decorated to produce a like effect. The
best fittings, as tires, saddles, ETC., are
also sometimes to be found on the
cheapest wheels; this being possible, as
the money which should be expended
on good material and the skillful man
ufacture of same is used instead, for
the outside appearances; thus bright
nickel and good enamel may cover
the cheapest cast-iron and gas pipe
In the everyday use of a cycle, it is
subjected to very severe strains, and a
machine upon which the owner is to
trust his safety should be carefully Sc
lected, as an imperfectly brazed tube,
or other similar defect, is liable to
cause serious injury to the rider.
Therefore it is we'll, when purchasing
a wheel, to examine fully into its con-
struction, material used, and the
amount of experience it's makers have
had in the building of cycles.
Before you finally decide to buy a
wheel, the P. c. Mfg. Co., on Fort
street, would like to show you the '99
Model Sterling and explain their SUI
perior points to you. Lady's and

EVAPORATED BANANAS.

Evaporated bananas are to be a new
delicacy in the markets of the United
States.
Arthur F. Spawn, of Baltimore, is
said to be the originator of the idea,
and after a trip to Jamaica has sent
representatives down there to erect a
plant for carrying out the plan. AS
yet the evaporation plan is in it's in
fancy, but there seems to be no doubt
that it will be perfected and bananas
that now cannot be shipped from ia
maica in the natural state will reach
the markets of the United States in
another form.
\ Mr.. Spawn expects to place his first
Incorporated fruit on the market this
fall. Whatever may be the state Of
weather. the prepared banana can
reach the market in an attractive state,
without being affected by the summer
heat Or winter chill, as is the case with
fruit when forwarded in its original
bunch from the plant.
In a small way the evaporated fruit
has been tried in Europe, to which
country it is impossible to send it in
the natural state. Confectioners like
evaporated bananas as a base for can
died fruit, and bakers can use them in
a variety of ways.
Bananas have been evaporated to
some extent in Nicaragua and, accord
ing to authentic information, if the
plan proves successful, the industry
will be introduced into the banana. pro-
ducing districts throughout Central
America, the West Indies and probably
all other tropical and semi-tropical re-
gions where the banana is grown.
The general method of evaporation
is that pursued with juicy fruits. The
thoroughly ripe banana is placed in
an oven and subjected to heat for
twenty-four to twenty-eight hours, as
may be required. The evaporated
product is then packed in boxes for
the wholesale trade. 1t takes six
pounds Of fresh fruit to make one
pound evaporated hence the economy
of space in transporting is important,
to say nothing of the saving in proven
ting decay in transit.

SOMETHING TO LEARN.

Inc people who call Mckinley names
for not withdrawing from the Philip

constitutional law. Where has the
President any right to relinquish Am

RAN AWAY FROM THE DEFENDER.
Successful Trial of the Americans
CUP Yacht Columbia.

The first trial trip of the American
cup defender Columbia, which took place
in Narragansett bay yesterday, was more
successful than either her builders or her
owners had reason to hope. Not only did
the new boat show herself to be able in
every particular. but she met the old racer
windward and vanquished her with the
greatest ease.
The race between the flyers, which was
over in five minutes was sailed in an eight
knot breeze under the same conditions,
each boat carrying three lower sails, with
sheet well f1attened. 1t took the Columbia
about three minutes, sailing from the De-
tenders weather quarter, to blanket her,
and in five minutes she was 1oo yards
ahead, going past the old cup defender as
if the latter We're anchored Under these
conditions it would seem as if the Column
bia were from II to 20 seconds mile
faster than the Defender, and if she can
make the same gain in hard blow anxiety
as to the safety of the America 8 cup Will
be considerably alayed.
The trip yesterday was the builders trial,
and although the managing owner, {. Oil
Yer Iselin, and a number of his yachting
friends were on board, still the Columbia $
designer, Nat Herreshoff, was in charge,
and after the sail down the bay the boat
was towed back TO Bristol for few minor
repairs. 1t is expected the boat will have
another trial either today or tomorrow,
and that by the end of the week she VIII
be formally turned over to Mr.. lseiin. In
the meantime her interior fittings will be
finished and her bOwsprit, which appar-
emily started in the socket in yesterday $
brush with the Defender, probably will
need some attention. Before the Column
bia left for Bristol Mr.. Iselin expressed
himself as being more than satisfied with

LINDSAY IN THE TOLLS.
The Rival of Joe MulhaItOn is Ar
rested in London.

Detective TAFT of Philadelphia sailed from
New York Saturday on the tmbria armed
with requiSition papers issued by the State
Department for C. H. FORBES Lindsay, who
is held in London on charge of embez-
cling 81 411.5O from the Mutual Insurance
Company of Philadelphia while an agent
of that company. The man was arrested in
Londonderry and taken thence to London,
where h. is now in charge of the Scotland
Yard authorities.
Lindsay is well known in Washington,
and his last appearance here was last win
ter when he was ACCOMPANIED by an at
tractive woman. who was apparently de-
voted to him and who he introduced as his
wife. He regaled those who came IN con-
tact with him with most marvellous recitals
Of his experiences. According to his state
ments, he was tkirty-eight years old and
had been an English army officer in pretty
nearly every episode since the charge of
the Light Brigade. He recounted with gus
TO his life at Calcutta, when he was on the
staff of Bulwer-Lytton, while viceroy of
India. and detailed his experiences when
Prince Napoleon was killed by the Zulus
in South Africa.
He had held he declared, the head of the
prince and removed the deadly assesai
from his bosom as the dying man expired.
His experiences in America, according TO
his own accounts were scarcely less start
ling. He had gone to Chicago he SAID,
without newspaper experience but had i'm
mediately been made editor of Frank Law
lers newspaper and afterward became lead
ing man on the Herald. He profesSed to have
been in the thick of the Haymarket riots,
and to have complete knowledge of the con-
spiracy that resulted in the death Of DR..
Coughlin
Lindsay first came to Washington a cou-
pie of years ago, and was employed as an
agent of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, and later engaged with other
companies. Leaving the city under some
thing of cloud he went to Baltimore and
edited whist publication, being an adept
at that game.
He afterward went to Philadelphia and
became connected with the Mutual Life In
surance Company. In this capacity, 1t IS
alleged by the company, he collected pre-
MUM of s1,411.50 on a $4,000 policy and
failed to make return. While in Washing
