A Owe CAMPAIGN.
Nominee for Governor
Will Tour tho State on a bicycle

RspubIican Nominee for Governor
Will Tour tho State on a bicycle
Republic: Colonel Joe Flory, Re-
publican candidate for Governor of
Missouri, is perfecting arrangements
Tor a unique campaign this summer.
He will make a anvas of the State,
travelling from town to town on a
rubber-tired railroad bicycle.
The machine has already arrived in
st. Louis. The Colonel will reach the
city to-day. and give the bicycle a
trial in the railroad yards. He on
ceived the idea of this method of cam
paigning some time ago. No sooner
had his nomination been made at
Kansas City than he wired an order
to the maker of railroad bicycles to
fit one out for Lin at the earliest
possible moment, and it now awaits
its owner in this city. 1t is d late
model, patterned after the usual style
of the railroad bicycle used by track
Inspectors and roadmasters. 1t is
supported by two wheels, which run
on the same rail. y third, or small
guard wheel. runs along the opposite
rail to hold the machine OF the track.
The wheels have hard rubber tires and
wire spokes. The motive-power will
be nothing less than Colonel Floory's
arms and legs. The machine has ball
bearings throughout and is said to be
easily operated. Colonel Flory will
be the occupant of the vehicle.
He expects to mount his steel steed
for a tour of the State after the Re
publican convention meets at Phila-
delphia.
When he does begin he expects to
keep the rails hot. His itinerary has
not been completed As yet, although
he has obtained permission from all
the railroad systems in the State to
run his wheel over their lines. He ex-
poets to visits every county seat on a
railroad in the State. He will speak
at all the places. To reach towns not
on the railroad he will leave his ma
chine in some friendly section box and
60 by buggy. The Republican State
Committee will make all arrangements
for his reception at the various towns.
Colonel Flory is not an experienced
bicyclist, although he has tra~eled
quite Il number of miles as a railroad
conductor. 1t is something different
from the ~''varnished cars" however,
and probably not one-half so fascinat-
ing to the novice. For the next few
days the Republican a%spirant for
gubernatorial honors will spend his
time in IN effort to master his mount.
The Republicans are hoping for great
things as a result Of this unusual style
of campaigning.

The St. Louis strikers have appeal
ed to organized labor throughout the
world to raise IA fund of 800, COO to
assist Iin carrying on the strike.
through just what object is to be gain
ed by this, as the places of the strikers
have been filled, is not apparent.
The descriptive and imaginative
powers of the person or persons who
formulated this appeal would do credit
to Il novelist. For instance take the
following which appears in the cir
cular:

A careful reading of this remarkable
appeal fail to disclose one word of
censure from strikers or strike sympa-
thizers who for weeks have set both

mobbed women, killed and beaten

There is an urgent demand for more

dence for having larger commercial
docks, she being but one OF a feet Of
vessels that are now running or are
soon to run TO and from that harbor.
There is but one drydock az that port.
that at Cramps yard. which can ac-
commodate a vessel 430 feet in length
which is twenty feet shorter than the
length of the Brisgavia. The only other
dock Of any considerable size on the
Delaware Is at Harlan and Hollings-
worth Company's yard
A few years ago there was talk OF
having more docks, but nothing result
ed from It. Now 1t is claimed that
more and larger docks are almost i'm

COMPLAINT ABOUT SNOW
OWNER OF LOT ON CLAYMONr
STREET CANNOT BE FOUND.


Chief Dolan is looking for the owner
of the lot situated at the northeast
corner Of Twelfth and Claymont, from
the sidewalk surrounding which the
snow has not been removed.
Residents in the neighborhood OF
Twelfth and Claymont streets have
complained that although they have
been required TO move snow from
their pavements the owner OF the
above lot has not complied with the
ordinance.
When the heavy snow occurred last
February the sidewalks surrounding
the property were not cleaned and
Thomas II. Savery. of No. 1903 West
Eighth street. who was supposed to be
the owner. was arrested. Mr.. Savery
produced evidence TO show that he did
not own the lot, and was dismissed by
the court.
The snow that fell on Thursday last
still remains on the sidewalk except
ing that portion OF it that has been re-
moved by the sun. Upon inquiry at
the tax office it was learned that Ed
ward Savery, Of Philadelphia, is as
sessed as owner OF the property. The
Philadelphia directory contains nc
such name. and as there is no sign on
the property to denote the owner OF
agent, Chief Dolan is In a quandary
how to proceed in the matter.
The chief also intends to proceed
against those property owners on the
sidewalks Of whose property snow still
lays, and who failed to remove IL on
previous occasions. but we're not ar.

ST. PATRIcK's DAY
SONS OF ERIN WEARING THE
GREEN IN HONOR OF IRELAND's
PATRON SAINT.

GREEN IN HONOR OF IRELAND'S
PATRON SAINT.
Every true son Of Erin is wearing
the shamrock today in honor Of the an
niversary of the birth of the patron
saint of Ireland st. Patrick.
The day was observed as usual. This
morning mass was celebrated at st.
Peters Pro-Cathedral. and Bishop
Monaghan delivered an interesting SER
mon in commemoration OF the day.
Tonight local divisions Of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians will celebrate the
day by an entertainment.
OF the many who are today wear
ing the green" there is probably a
comparatively small number who know
the significance Of the shamrock in con-
nection with st. Patricks Day. There
are many traditions regarding the
shamrock, but the one given most ere
dence is as follows: In the fifth cen
tury, when Ireland was divided into
small kingdoms and governed princi-
pally by pagan rulers, ST. Patrick, then
but youth, determined upon a pill
grimage into the pagan strongholds in
order TO spread the doctrines Of Chris
tianity.
He experienced many obstacles and
his doctrine was received with in
lcredulity at every step. His most stern
opposer and incredulous hearer was the
king Of the kingdom of Tara. This
ruler refused absolutely to believe in
the doctrines as taught by st. Patrick,
especially that part of them relating
to the Divinity He could not conceive
how three distinct Beings could exist
as one
Upon one occasion, so the tradition
goes, while St. Patrick was laboring
with the unbeliever, a sudden idea
seized him. Reaching down he picked
from beneath his feet a sprig Of sham.
rock with the three leaves growing as
one from a single stem, and illustrated
his doctrine by means of the sprig
This illustration of the Divinity, from
nature, convinced the unbeliever thai
the doctrine of st. Patrick was the true
one, and he became a convert. Sine,
that time the shamrock has been EN-
blematic Of the patron saint Of Ireland
The year Of the death Of St. Patricl
is uncertain, but is generally conceded
to be 469.
