BICYCLE CHAIRS LATEST.

From the New York Times.
There is a new fashion In city transit.
A little vehicle is attracting a great deal
of attention In Central Park. Shaped like
the chairs one sees on the boardwalk at
Atlantic City, but with the attendant
seated in the rear, like bicyclist, the
chair-carriage moves rapidly and can go
anywhere that ordikary carriages do. The
original purpose In starting the new We
hicles was that invalids might take pleas
ant outings. But after the first expert
ment by young man and woman, a
bride and groom from the west, who
hired two of the chairs for a ride in the
park, others tried the chairs, and they
have grown popular.
The new vehicle has not as yet caused
any runaways. Horses prick up their ears
in mild surprise and seeming wonder as
to what is to come next. Persons stop and
stare as they did when women first ap-
peared on the streets on bicycles.
The carriage Is dainty thing. with
its bright wicker work. the springs and
metal work painted a bright green and
the man propelling the carriage wearing
a neat blue uniform. His sturdy legs are
clad in knickerbockers. The attendants
are bright looking young colored men.
Doubtless they were chosen because of
the size of their calves.
The bicyclec hair squad first appear
ed on the sidewalk in front of the Hotel
Majestic few days ago. The charge is
10 cents an hour.

LUCY.

By William wordsworth.
Three years she grew in sun and shower;
Then Nature said, "A lovlier flower
On earth was never sown;
This child l to myself will take;
She shall be mine; and 1 will make
A lady of my own.
myself will to my darling be
Both law and impulse; and with me
The girl, In rock and plain,
In earth and heaven, In glade and bower,
Shall feel an overweening power
To kindle or restrain.
"She shall be sportive as the fawn
That wild with glee across the lawn
Or up the mountain springs;
And hers shall be the breathing balm,
And hers the silence and the calm
OF mute insensate things.
1.-THE floating clouds their state shall
lend
To her; for her the willow bend;
Nor shall she fail to see
Fen in the motions of the storm
Grace that shall mold the maiden's form
By silent sympathy.
1.-THE stars of midnight shall be dear
To her; and she shall lean her ear
In many a secret place
Where rivulets dance their Maynard
round,
And beauty born of murmuring sound
Shall pass into her face.
land vital feelings of delight
Shall rear her form to stately height,
Her virgin bosom swell;
Such thoughts to Lucy l will give
While she and together live
Here in this happy DELL"
Thus nature spake-the work was DONE
How soon my Lucy's race was rum
She died and left to me
This heath. this calm and quiet scene:
The memory of what has been,
And never more will be.

THElATE LORD PAuNcEFoTE.

Richard Olney in Boston Herald
1t is quite impossible in any brief space
to do full justice to Lord Pauncefote's
abilities and character or to the services
rendered by him to both England and
America. No better-e equipped diplomat
was ever accredited to Washington. None
ever took more pains to study and under
stand the character OF the people and of
the government with which he had to
deal, and tosthus qualify himself to give
correct information and sound advice to
the authorities at home.
A well-trained and admirable lawyer,
he had the judicial temperament, could
see both sides of a question and could
fully appreciate arguments not favorable
to tho contention II was his duty to es-
pouse. A thorough Englishman, charged
with the protection of English interests,
he never for a moment lost sight of them
Yet 1t has been the good fortune of the
American people that. in Lord Paunce-
totes view, nothing was of greater i'm
portanca to English interests than a good
understa nding between the two countries.
To him the triumph of an English con-
tention which would have left the Ameri-
can people smarting under a sense of
wrong and injustice would have seemed
q defeat rather than a victory
AS diplomat Lord Pauncefote was pre-
eminent for the courtesy and urbanity
supposed to be characteristic of the pro-
fession. Dut 1t would be unjust to him
not to add that he had genuine good
nature and kindness of heart which thor
oughly endeared him to a large circle of
friends to whom his sudden and pre-
mature death will come as a severe per-
sonal affection.

The Rev. DR.. Palmer.

THE death of the Rev. DR.. B. M. Pal
mer, of New Orleans, removes not. only
the greatest Presbyterian minister of the
United States, but one of the greatest
men of any denomination said a Pres
byterian layman who once lived In New
Orleans and sat under DIR. Palmer's
preaching.
This distinguished divine was at once
ripe scholar, a profound thinker and
luminous orator. He was 81 years old
last January, but up-to a very recent
period his discourses were as fresh as If
he had been in the prime of life. heard
DR.. Palmer last fall and marveled at his
mental vigor. One of the most philo-
sophie and powerful orations ever writ
ten by any American was that which he
delivered at the Confederate reunion in
Louisville two years ago. Every one who
read that master work of thought and
diction had an opportunity of appreciat-
ing DR.. Palmer's wonderful gifts. But as
classic and as virie as that grafton was,
those who heard him preach regularly
in his church listened to efforts that were
just as luminous He was not one of
those pulpit men who preached a great
sermon Sunday morning and then tagged
Sunday night. But year in and year out
he delivered two sermons every Sunday
that were models of the homiletic art
and were marked by singularly felicitous
expression.
DIR. Palmer belonged to the conserva-
tive school. He took no stock whatever
in the new theology
'There is an old saying that every
mans place can be filled. 1t Is true the
man dies; the work boes on. But DR.. Pal
mer's place can no more be filled in New
Orleans than Moses D. Hoge's place can
be filled in Richmond"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press
Pleasure is only comparative; pain is
positive.
Going into politics means going out of
everything else.
Mans path to duty leads from the
school; woman's from the church.
The next proudest thing to being a
mother for most women is being an
aunt.
The longer a man argues to make n
woman see the reason of a thing tba
surer she is to trust her instinct about It.
A fox terrier can discount philosophy,
and a cow with her cud knows more con-
tent than Is in the bosom of the church.

The Weather.

Some people complain of the weather
no matter how it is" said busy man.
This cool spell should be agreeable
to everybody, but have heard hundreds
complain about 1t and say they wish it
would get warmer. And then these same
people, when the thermometer indicates
30 or s5 in the-shade, complain and pray
for cool wave. My philosophy is, the
less people fret about the weather the
happier they are.'

Iron Prices.

"Twenty-dollar iron did not keep up to
the fancy price very long in 1900, but
there is every indication that prices
which are prevailing now, SIG and up
wards, will hold for some time to come"
said an iron manufacturer.
II do not believe No. iron will sell
for less than SIC the balance of this year,
and I will not be very much surprised if
1903 iron brings as high as s1S.''
