MASON ON THE NEW CONDITIONS.
STABILITY OF THE INDUSTRY

STABILITY OF THE INDUSTRY.
Elliott Mason, the dean of the bicycle dealers of
New-York. of the first of the men who
coming naturally between the manufacturer and
the public, applauded the formation of the bicycle
combination. and was not afraid TO say so. While
many of the other dealers nervous and
certain Mason kept the tenor OF his way,
confident that the industry needed just such
movement TO meet the new conditions which exist
to-day. You the bicycle has gone through
many stages IN the last ten years." said Mr. Mason
yesterday with every manufacturer working
alone and each cutting the throat OF the other
there little stability to the business. 1t was
immense amount of profit in turning
wheels. The result that the market
giutted with bicycles of the trashy sort. and the
trade a whole suffered. Now these fly by
night concerns have gone to the wall, and
healthful and happy condition remains. Better
wheels Will be turned out, and the riders will be
the gamers.
THAT is the reason why the combination will
be able to do the industry great deal OF good.
Experienced men are at the head OF each depart

undisputed fact that orders being placed with

The STAR SPANsLED BANNER,
YsunH Soldiers and sailors who Set
q Fine Example of Reverence
for the Flag.

An inspiring incident occurred late
" at the football game between the
Annapolis and West Point cadets on
Franklin field in Philadelphia. The
Annapolis players had been cheered
when they dashed upon the field and
they were tumbling about, awaiting
their rivals appearance, when the
band that had come with the sailor
lads began to play "The Star Spangled
Banner. AT once every cadet within
sound of the music. whether sailor or
soldier, stood at attention and uncov-
cred, as he was bound to do by regula-
tion. Every other military man pres
ent obeyed the instincts of his mill
tary training Immediately. Then all
present followed this example and the
assemblage of nearly $4,000 persons
stood in silence and in the attitude
of respect until the stirring sounds
ceased. 1t was an unusual feature of
q great athletic contest and probably
more impressive scene was never
witnessed upon such an occasion.
The criticism had been made, with
some degree of justice, that the people
of the United States are sometimes
lacking in their show of respect for
national symbols. Apparent indiffer-
ence in pose and manner when the
national air is played or sung, or
when the national colors are displayed,
is shown too frequently. People of
other countries are not so neglectful
of the proprieties in this respect as
| Al
ers and newspaper correspondents
have made frequent mention of the
| fact that even in Cuba it is a common
| sight to witness hundreds. or some
times thousands. standing uncovered
at the close of an evening concert in
plaza when the American national
air is played by one of our military
bands.
| Probably the impression. altogether
| too general, that this country has no
real national air is the cause, to a
| large extent, of this condition of af-
fairs. THE Star Spangled Banner"
however, is officially our national air
or national hymn and there should be
little excuse for popular ignorance Of
that fact. Still, how few persons
there are. comparatively speaking,
who know the words of Keys song!
Within recent years the schools of the
country have sung them regularly and
in many cases daily. As result,
there are few of the rising genera
| tions of Americans who do not know
the words. Unfortunately, the chill
dren are not always taught to stand
when they sing this hymn or hear it
played. The fact that we are not .
military nation may explain that neg
lect, and also the further fact that the
great majority of the people have not
been taught to uncover as the flag
is carried by in professions or dis
played upon formal occasions.

minded the American public in a spec.

1t is highly probable that our ancient
and honoyed friend Mr.. Euclid discov.

ing the outspread tail of a strutting
peacock. Ancient and honorable as are
the problems of Euclid, it is practically
certain that the peacock had been on
earth many moons before the father
of cubes. squares, angles and parallelo-
grams dawned upon the world. This
being SO, and the tail presenting such
a dazzling combination of geometrical
figures indeed, they might be used for
the fashioning of beautiful mosaic
it is quite reasonable to suppose the old
Greek caught his inspiration from the
proud bird.
With such statement as beginning

evidence. Only the best evidence is ad.

food
The fact remains, however, that,
although the strike has now been on
for three weeks, the strikers have re-
ceived no assistance from the unions
in either cash or supplies in this dis
trict or in any other. There has not
been much need of it until now, but
now there is and the national officers
are bestirring themselves to get it

There is general impression among

tlement they may contemplate in the
hope that the pen will be compelled
