PROBABLY a FA1<E-DEATH OF
MIR. SPRAGGINS.


Newport News. Va, Aug. l5.-The
story that Watson Loomis committed
suicide is believed to have no tounda-
ton in fact. The impression also that
the man intended To convey in his let
ter that Loomis was an assumed name
is also erroneous. Charles Davis, who
worked with the man at Cramps ship
yard in Philadelphia, says the writing
Is undoubtedly Loomis The man is
said to be alive. and there is reason
to believe that he is with relatives in
Philadelphia. \ letter received yester-
day by Attorney c. w. Robinson from
Mrs. Loomis forms another chapter in
the story, and explains itself The let
ter reads:

"P. S.-Mr. Loomis has been away
from me since the 2lst of May. T.. L."
LOOMS is said to have had Sl,700 in
his possession when last seen. but why
he wished to create the impression that
he was dead or conceal his present
whereabouts are mere matters of con
lecture.

ADVANCEMENT OF THE BICYCLE.

It IL Being Used by Some as a Means Of
Earning a Livelihood.
ITO what base uses is the bicycle
put" exclaimed an elite member of tho
Scorchers' Protective Association, asa
machine heavily laden with tinware
and guided by an elongated individual
made a zigzag line down GriswoM
street. The rider was almost complete
ly obscured by dishpans, lunch baskets
and a choice assortment Of kitchen
utensils, his neither limbs and his wind
tossed beard being the only means Of
identifying him with humanity. As hs
passed down the street he kept con.
stantly jingling an unmusical cowbel
which did no. alright as much as 10
amused. He was rare street spec
tacle, was this movable tlnshop, and
street car patrons and pedestrians
gaped widely at him. But he kept
steadily on his way, as though bis was
the most ordinary business In the
world, and by and by he stopped at the
house Of regular customer and sold
teapot. Farther up the street the oh.
server caught sight Of a laborer on
bicycle. He was acting as steam
barge for cart loaded with plaster and
building material, and he footed an
alarm signal that made moving vans
and every sort of street vehicle give
him the right of way.
"Ah, WELL" soliloquized the observer,
"the scorcher may call 1t base uses
but l believe there is some hope for the
bicycle after ALL AS feature of indus
trial activity It Is certainly advancing"
