New Bath-Chair Hanson Cab.

A new species of recreation has just
made It's appearance in Oxford, Eng
land. 1t takes the form of kind of
bath-chair hanson cab, being, indeed,
nothing more than a very comfortable
basket chair mounted upon two wheels,
with bail bearings and rubber tires.
This chair is fastened to the saddle
pillar OF bicycle by means of rigid
shaft, with bali socket at the head, SO
that neither the steering OF the cycle
nor the leaning over of the machine as
it turns a curve is affected. No doubt
the new conveyance will prove an eX-
cellent form of entertainment with
his sisters or aunts when they visit Ok
ford. The cars are not appropriately
called .rickshas," and the labor is
much lighter than might be expected
for the coolie. Rather more hills than
usual have to be walked, but the idea
has such vast possibilities the pur-
pose, say, of paying a round of after
noon calls, or conveying fair burdens
to outlying districts of beauty and
amusement-that "rickshaS" are de-
serving of adoption in the country gen.
orally, where, indeed, they are begin
ming to be used, and in the London
suburbs where traffic is not too heavy.
They cannot possibly upset; they
travel more smoothly and faster than
a carriage, and are not in the least Ii
able to run away.

where Ignorance Is Bliss.


An American art student, confined to
the care of a friend in Paris, arrived
at his destination in the evening, and,
meeting some difficulty in finding the
address, was late in reaching TIE lat
ter's apartments. After a long Journey
being hungry as well as tired, he asked
to be directed to the nearest restaurant,
preferably to one of the many Duval
establishments OF which he had so
often heard. His friend accompanied
him to the Duval place of the neighbor-
hood, reaching the door just as it was
about to be closed. At that hour OF
the night there were no substantial
viauds to be had, except certain
ragout au quelquechose, which the
young student accepted as Hobson's
choice. To his satisfaction, he found
his supper very appetizing, and, with a
glass of good red wine. he enjoyed the
meal heartily; the more as the charge,
all told, was less than two francs. Well
pleased. with his first prandial expert
ence in Paris, he expressed his gratifi-
cation to his friend on the road home,
asking incidentally: by the way, what
was that ragoUt-beef, or mutton, or
what?" His feelings underwent a sud
den revulsion as his friend replied:

pitifully, softly almost tragica1ly. She
reached for a gold key and opened her
desk. Her hands moved mechanically
among papers and sketches till she
drew forth a small book with white
satin corner on which was traced a
gilt composition. She opened the
leaves. There was nothing within the
book but names and dates. Slowly she
counted them. Then she dipped her
pen in violet ink and wrote below the
last name a number, the date, and the
Mans name. There was no smile on
her face now. She turned back the
leaves of the satin-covered book to the
first name-the one that lead all the
rest. And with a sob that seemed to

A Harmony MeetInq.

There will. be Democratic harmony gathering in Boston July A and both Mir Olney and MT. Bryan will make speeches." said gold Democrat yester- day. This Is as it should be. If we are to have harmony opposing factions must be brought together through their re- spectivc leaders.
 There can bo no chence of Democratic victory In 1904 unless Bryan and men li6e Olney, who belong to the Cleveland wing of the party, heartily unite. It Is said that Mir. Cleveland desires Mir. Olney to head the ticket hut the Massachu- setts man has said In very positive terms that he would not be a candidate. Men sometime change their minds, however and many good Democrats still hope that Olney will change his. In my judgment Arthur r. German Is the strongest man and the only very etrong man in the Presidential possibility class who should be seriously considered. He would make an ideal standard bearer"

LETTER FROM CHRISTMAS.
Committee Reviews investigation of
 West Indian Scandal

Washington, June 23.-A special com mittee of representatives which is in- vestigating charges in connection with the purchase of the Danish West Indies, resumed its session today and Chairman Dalzell laid before the members letter from Captain Walter Christmas who has been the central figure in connection with the charges. in which the latter states that Neil Gron obtained his confidential report by foul means; that he has req son to believe that Gron falsifed it and denies a number of allegations which 1t contains.
 He says he never tried to impress Min ister Horring that bribery was the only way of getting the islands sold. He had not given the name of any congressman in connection with the use of money. He makes a general denial or several mat Major Swenson. He says that in view of Christmas character and absurdly con- tradictory statements he attaches no tm- portance to the letter. He says the op- ponents of the sale of the islands are us- ing the Gron-Christmas scandal to pre- vent ratification of the treaty
 H. H. Rogers of the Standard oil Com pany sent a letter in which he says he had but one interview with Christmas and that was devoid of importance. He adds the story he tells as to my claim, the ownership of twenty-six United States senators Is simply falsehool and so absurd on It's face that 1t Is hardly worth referring to.

A Word to Governor GYcock,

A mob numbering about seventy-ive lynched two negro boys at Greensboro, N. C.. and Governor Aycoak of that State offers a reward of S450 each for the arrest and conviction of the lynch CTS. Such an offer Is good enough in its way, but it will not lead to the de- lection or arrest of any one. The ex- perience of all the States demonstrates this. The offering of rewards in Geor- gia never led up to the arrest of lyncher and Georgia is today one or the worst States in the union in the respect of lynching. The offers of re- wards in such cases are farcical..
 What is needed in each State Is a Governor with backbone. Instead of offering rewards Governor Aycock should have his backbone massaged or otherwise treated. It lacks vigor A Governor with backbone offers no rewards, but he gets at once, when a lynching bee takes place, behind the solicitor and sheriff in question, and arrests follow in due course of time. This sort of business stops lynching, as the offer of rewards never has and never will
 Solicitors and sheriffs will do their duty when they know the chief execu- tive of the State stands behind them and will uphold them. It is mere non sense to say, for example, that the per sons who participated in the Greens boro mob are not known. They are known to hundreds of persons, and their acts at the time are also known. Governor Aycock should study Ala bama, and above all else he should have his backbone treated until he acquires some of the courage in sucf cases that Alabamas Governor has manifested and will manifest again il an opportunity for It's use arises.

Cleveland in Politics.

Former President Grover Cleveland kept out of politics for six years, but now that he is taking little dash at it again, marked a well known politician.
 "The men who hate Cleveland hate him cordially but to the credit of the country his admirers In the Democratic party are more numerous than his en- emes. While MT. Cleveland is not posing as a party leader he will probably take more or less active part in politics from now until 1904 As Cleveland Is the only Democrat who has filled the Presidency since Buchanan went out of office in 1861 and as he Is a man of uncommon force his words of counsel will have weight as long as he lives.'

 "I have a high regard for King Ed ward He is both a Democrat and gen. tlemar and am satisfied that if he had his way he would cut out of the coron- ation oath all that Is offensive to Cath olics.
 T detest snobbery and fiunkeyism, and so does the King I am sorry to see Americans toadying to his majesty. If citizens of the United States who are introduced at court would act as repre- sentatives of a great republic should act, the King would think better of them than are they aping the nobility of his country

TO ALTHEA FROM PRISON.

By Richard Lovelace. When love with unconfin-ed wings
 Hovers within my gates, And my divine Althea brings
 To whisper at the grates: When lie tangled in her hair
 And fettered to her eye, The Gods that wanton in the air
 Know no such liberty. When flowing cups run swiftly round
 With no allaying Thames, Cur careless heads with roses bound, Our hearts with loyal flames: When thirsty grief in wine we steep. When healths and draughts go free Fishes that tipple in tte deer.
 Know no such liberty. When Oike committed linnets) I
 With shriller throat shall sing, The sweetness, mercy, majesty
 And glories of my King: When I shall voice aloud how good
 He Is. how great should be. Enlarged winds, that surl the flood,
 Know no such liberty. Stone walls do not a prison make,
 Nor iron bars a cage; Minds innocent and quiet take
 That for an hermitage; If I have freedom in my love,
 And in my soul am free. Angels alone. that soar above.
 Enjoy such liberty.

or less spotted, and the projections along the bill are very short in the culex and very long in the anopheles. The culex stands on the wall in a round-shouldered fashion with head and beak projecting forward toward the wall, while the anopheles keep head and body on the same plane and both at a considerable angle to the surface. One need not fear the hump backed mosquito, although it's bite is as annoying as that of the dangerous variety.
 As rule the harmless sort Is bred in rain barrels and small puddles or pools, while the noxious insects are as rule bred in swamps and stagnant ditches. The latter does not fly far, but this insect is very vicious wher- ever it appears. It proceeds to obtain a bit of human blood, which in its stomach is developed into minute spindle-shaped cells, and it projects these cells into me next victim it lights on, producing malaria and levers.
 Those who desire to see pictures of the two classes of mosquitoes, and to procure at the same time all needful information should send for Bulletin No. 1855, issued by the Department of Agriculture. It is shown in this bull letin that the breaking of the miasma of swamps is an exploded humbug. It is the mosquito that does the busi- ness. He is loaded with protozoa from the swamps which when mixed with human blood creates the malarial cells before described.
 Beware the anopheles this summer. Send for Bulletin No. 155 and be ready to give these mosquitoes a warm re- ception when they come, for their coming is near at hand. All sections of the country harbor the genus an opheles, and Alabama has full allow ance of such insects, and some parts of the State have large surpluses of them, Montgomery for example.

Three Other Men Found.

If a third-termer who cannot carry his own State or any neighboring State Is wanted, then has the Mont gomery Advertiser found in Grover Cleveland 'the man for the occasion" But is the occasion so lame, halt and blind as all that? Is the Democratic party reduced to the extremity of taking a man as a standard-bearer who cannot carry either his native or his adopted State, as the elections of this fall will doubtless demonstrate even to the wayfarer?
 This new Aristides must carry New York and he should carry New Jersey and Connecticut as well but if it be- comes plain this fall that he cannot carry any one of the three, then where does our third-term Aristides stand? Will the highly classical Advertiser continue to demand his nomination? :? There is no use of fighting that battle of Platea at all if defeat be inevitable. for in politics it is not absolutely nee. essary to be classical in order to be successful. We are willing to admit the high standing in Greek scholarship of the esteemed Advertiser, but that standing, precious as it is, cannot be coined into electoral votes, and it is electoral votes we need and must have if Democrat is to be put in the White House in March, 1905.
 It is question of the present and i'm mediate future. The Democracy are not faddists. They want in this trap a man who can be elected-a man whom the elections of this fall will show has living chance, something that MT. Cleveland has not about his person. That man may be Arthur Pue German, who has just been elected Senator for Maryland, or Governor Patterson, who may be elected Gov ernor of Pennsylvania this fall, or Tom L. Johnson, who may be elected Gov ernor of Ohio next fall. The Demo cratic party has much greater possi- bilities of success than the Advertiser seems to think it possesses. It has possibilities that far outrun any that are centered in third-term candidate.

OUT OF THE CANAL CONTEST.

Frcm the Boston Herald.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama has come out of the isthmian canal contest badly worstod, and without much doubt severe ly chagrIned. Yet the Senate regards him as the veteran champion of the fight. and that he has connected his name with this canal business is as sure as that any canal Is ever built. He has had the matter so much on the brain that it has made him very much q man of one idea. He al- most forgot that he was a Democrat In view of it, exte opt to revive certain Bour- bon features in tho Democratic party in his mind, ard he has ceased to air his prejudtces against the colored race. Everythng but the canal has been side issue with MT. Morgan.

Some if not all of these agreements contain this provisions: This contract is in no case to be set aside because of any rule of the United Mine Workers of America now in force or which may hereafter be adopted; nor is this con tract to be set aside by reason of any provision in their national, State or local constitutions" It is difficult to see how the Indianapolis convention to be held July r can honorably order a suspension, which is in effect a sym pathetic strike for the benefit of the hard coal miners, in the districts that have entered into contracts with op- orators. Honorable action on the part of the miners demands honorable &C., tion on the part of operators, and vice versa. It would be unwise to disre- gard agreements, and The Age-Herald is confident the miners of Alabama, who can in no way affect the supply of coal in districts reached by hard coal, will not vote contrary to the spirit and essence of their contracts. There is no reason why they should. Contrary action would hurt themselves and this district, and it would not help the Pennsylvania miners a particle.
