Some days ago the New York and
Chicago newspapers printed as an in
teresting society item that j. P. Ogles-
by, son of the former Governor of
Illinois, had wooed and won a Miss
Rogers, a relative of the locomotive
builder of that name. after an ac-
quaintance of three or four days on an
ocean steamship. A friend of young
Oglesby gave a dinner in honor of the
young couple, upon their arrival in
New York, at which the engagement
was announced. A day or two ago
young Oglesby showed up at his home
in Illinois, denied that ne was engaged
and said the whole thing was Joke
He may regard It as funny. but the
public WIFI be apt TO think that it is
cruel heartless. unworthy joking.

New York newspapers are predicting
a marked revival in bicycle riding dur
ing the current spring and approaching
summer and autumn. Signs of the re-
vival, they say, are already to be seen.
1t is not expected that the boom of
some years ago viii be repeated, but
that the number of wheels ridden Cor
utility and pleasure win be consid-
erably increased. During the past
year or so bicycles have been employed
largely as business vehicles, the pro-
portion of pleasure riders being COM
naratively small. 1t is to be hoped
that the revival win eventuate.
Wheels are cheap, and the exercise and
fresh air that the use of them affords
cannot fail of being beneficial.

In all probability the new constitu-
ton of Virginia will not be submitted
to the people for ratification but will
be promulgated by proclamation. The
Richmond Times has taken poll OF
the members Of the convention to as
certain whether a majority of them
favor submitting the instrument to the
people. 1t finds that sentiment is
about equally divided, but thinks the
proclamation plan will be finally
chosen.

The municipal elections in Connect
cut this week have been attended with
some surprising results. In the
rich. prosperous, silk-stocking city OF
Hartford a young man of the name
of Ignatius A. Sullivan, who ten days
ago was an almost unknown dry
goods clerk at the 'munifeent salary
of 800 per month. was elected Mayor
by a solid majority. He goes in with
a reform administration. In the cities
of Bridgeport and Ansonia the out
come was not less sensational. In
the former the stoker of a steam
boiler was elected Mayor, and in the
latterNa laboring man got the office.

In New York the other day a man
was cured of a severe case of rheuma-
tism by the kick of horse. In Chi
cago a week or two ago a fall from a
roof cured a case of the same disease.
While the doctors have failed to dis
cover a specific for this painful all
ment, it is not to be assumed that any
of them will at once prescribe the
New York or Chicago ours referred to.

The New York Times is of the opln-
ion that Santos-Dumont will never be
able to produce balloon that is either
navigable or dirigible in any except the
calmest weather. In other words, "he
is working along demonstrably false
lines and is doomed to endless failure"
Nevertheless, his labors are not with
out value, since they are tending to the
development of motors of high power
and little weight. One of his recent
''air ships was operated by means of
a motor of sixteen horse power weigh
ing only thirteen pounds per horse
power, and a new machine that he is
constructing viii have a motor that
will give ninety-horse power and weigh
only six pounds per horse power. Since
this motor has been ordered the man
ufacturer has declared his ability to
build one of forty-horse power weigh
ing only four pounds for each horse
power developed. with engines like
the last in the market" says the Times,
scientific aeronauts ought to be able
to do something, even if NJ. Santos
Dumont cannot. No bird has anything
like such an amount of force in proper
ton to weight at it's command. Of
course, power is only one of several
requisites for successful flight, and per-
haps it is not the most important, but
at least, it is a very promising begin
ming, and one that hitherto has not
been at hand in form so favorable
for the conquest of the last domain
where man is helpless"

CARNEGIE LIBRARY SCHEME CRIT
ICIZED

In our New York dispatches on
count of the interruption of the dinner,
given in that city by the Society OF
American Authors to Andrew Car
negie, by a minister who insisted upon
finding out whether or not Mr.. Car
negie would pay him $5,OOO,0O0 for d
typewriter which he had invented. The
minister turned out TO be the Rev. DR..
W. A. Crawford Frost, rector of the
Memorial Protestant Episcopal Church
of the Holy Comforter of Baltimore.
1t seems that DR.. Frost was suffering
from acute dementia, due to overwork
in his parish and worry in connection
with his invention. He was not
troubled by pecuniary difficulties, being
in very comfortable circumstances, but
it appears that he thought that he
ought to have at least S., 900 for his
typewriter patent.
1t may be that he had been dream
ing day dreams as to what he would do
if he had great wealth. few weeks
ago, in one of his sermons, speaking of
Mr.. Carnegies plan for establishing
libraries in different cities of the coun-
try, he said: "If Andrew Carnegie had
taken every dollar he has invested in
public libraries and built pyramids in
the winter time out of small stones,
offering a small rate of wages, but
certain employment to men otherwise
npllp6 In ha idle he would have
helped thousands of men to be indie
pendent who have been forced by the
pangs of hunger of the sufferings of
their wives and children to receive
charity when all they asked was work.
And he would have rendered a
greater service to humanity than he
has by locking up millions of dollars in
books, which will be read chiefly by the
families of those who have work to do.
His intentions are good, and so are
those of most rich men"
1t seems that DIR. Frost was willing
to admit that Mr.. Carnegie's inten-
tions were good, but he had doubts
about beneficial results flowing from
negie's money. 1t is evident from
what he said that if he had got for his
typewriter what he asked from Mr..
Carnegie he would not have used it in
erecting library buildings, with which
to keep his memory green, but would
have distributed portion Of it at least
among the poor.

The cleaning and reframing of a
portrait of Capt Mad Jack" Percival
of the War of 1872, which hangs in the
War Department, recalls an old story
formerly told with great gusto in
Washington. Some time after the
declaration of peace Capt. Percival was
ordered to take his frigate to Morocco
and bring back a load of jackasses for
the government. He did not like the
assignment, but obeyed orders. In or
der to show his contempt for the en-
ployment of a war ship in such bust
ness, on entering New York harbor
upon his return he ran in all of his
guns and placed the head of a jackass
through each port-hole as the ship
sailed in. The double broadside of
donkey heads where guns should have
been was sight that created a SEN
sation, and pretty nearly caused Mad
Jack" to be cour-t-martialed.

MEASURE AMENDED
When Introduced By Quarles In
The Senate, but Still Contains
Provisions for Retention
OF Soper ct al. At The
Pie Counter.

After becoming badly shop worn
in the house of representatives the
Hon. p. Leland Soper has removed
the frayed out remnant of his
measure for the perpetuation OF
carpet bagism in the Indian Terri
tory to the United States senate.
There Senator Quarles has offered
it at cut price without murmur
from a taker.
How many times the senator
visited the senate thirst parlors,
before screwing his courage to the
sticking point, deponent sayeth
not. 1t must have been a severe
drain on the supply of the product
which made his native city famous
for surely friendship alone, could
never have nerved him to the
risk.
The carpet bag dream was
slightly amended before even
Quarles would assume the respon.
sibiIity for its introduction in the
senate. 1t now provides for twenty
eight counties. The court Of ap.
peals is to designate county seats;
a recorder of deeds is TO be elected
for four years: the district judge is
to appoint a county judge to serve
four years, deputy United States
marshal is 10 be ex-oflicio sheriff
of each county, and each court is
to have a clerk. Then comes the
appointment of a veritable Pooh
Bah. This is the feature that the
ward of Cy Leland loves to linger
on.
1t is disguised under the com.
mon appellation of attorney
General" The "attorney gene
raj" shall also be presiding officer
of the Dawes commission, "Pur
veyor of the public atmos-
pheTe," Regulator of the public
speech, "Censor of the press"
etc, etc., etc.
The one break in the succession
is the failure to empowes him TO
appoint the Jury commission
ers," which leads TO the belief
that Judge Springer's lesson has
not been forgotten.
The remnant is iypically Soper-
ssque.
It demands the earth and will
get about the same consideration
rom congress as lis author will
rom the people Of the territory.
