and road has demonstrated the lively interest
taken in these machines. Clubs have been or
ganzed in Of the large cities, and many towns
OF small size boast OF them. The announcement
that automobile show was to be held in Madison
Square Garden in November was sufficient to at
tract enough manufacturers and owners OF ma
chimes TO the Garden to take up all of the space
within a few days after the announcement had
been made. Now it is said that another show Will
be held in the same month at the Grand Central
Palace.
THE Electrical World and Engineer devotes
several pages in it's last issue to the electric auto
mobile from commercial point of view. In part
it quotes expert saying:
Owing to the nature of the problem which pre-
sents itself when attempt is made to compare
the two systems of locomotiOn from a commercial
point OF view, the most accurate and therefore the
most valuable results be obtained at present
from a comparison OF the electric automobiles used
in light delivery service with horses and wagons
engaged in the same class of service.
Owing the rapid changes and great improve
ments constantly being made in this new depart
of industry, the results obtained in inquiry
of this nature cannot of necessity be considered
final In fact they must be looked upon merely
indicating the present state of development that
has been reached in this branch of the horseess
vehicle industry That the successful solution,
from a commercial point OF view, of the problems
connected with mechanically propelled vehicles
common roads is not far off, seems almost certain.

CYCLING TOURS.
A DELIGHTFUL RIDE OVER THE CYCLE
PATHS OF LONG IsLAND-THE
TRIP OVER THE BACKBONE.

This is the time of the year when the veteran
members of the oldtime bicycle clubs make their
arrangements for tours into the country. The an
nuaI run of the Boston Bicycle Club. the Oldest
club of the sort in the country took place on Sep
tember Is, % and go The trip this year was not so

its length. The veterans left Boston on September

Sag Harbor and from there delightful ride over
the cycle paths of Long Island was started The
party returned to the city by train on Sunday

cycling organization in New-Jersey, and sent out

But that there are many hard questions still left
to be settled before the advent of the horseless
age is recognized by all who have given close at
tentton and thought to this subject.
For comparative purposes, from a commercial
point of view. 1t is desirable to know how far
electric vehicle may be expected to travel

to operate This is to determine whether an cleo
trio vehicle successfully travel charge
OF its battery a distance equal to that required

the class of service with which a comparison is
desired; also. the average amount of energy

electric vehicles to propel them over the streets

the various conditions OF weather and pavement

be expected to maintain when in motion while

conditions with which they will probably be
fronted must also be known before a lust compari-

It may be assumed that vehicles equipped with
pneumatic tires will show slightly increased rate
of power consumption over those equipped with
solid tires.

This is the season of the strenuous life among

John Tice Shoots Photographer Trappe
and Kills HIMSELF

PENNINGTON. Mo-, October g.
While the parade in honor Of Senator
GeeArell was passing through Main
street yesterday, everybody a start
led by the sound of three shots, fired
in rapid succession. F. Trappe, the
photographer, was stahding on the
pavement near the door of the City
Drug Store. AS John Tice, a barber,
crossed the street, Trappe called to
Tice, saying he wanted a note which
he had, when Tice pulled out his pis-
toll, firing three times, killing Trappe
instantly. One shot narrowly missed
a bystander.
Tice then ran up the street to his
barber shop, and turned the pistol on
himself, and blowing out his brains,
died instantly.
For some months, it is asserted,
Tice had been on intimate terms with
Trappe's wife. The injured husband
did not suspect his wife until last
week. and mas been Watching her since
The note asked for vas from Mrs.
Trappe to Tice.
