HIS NERVES ARE STRONG
Charles G., Fitzpatrick, the One-Leg.
ged Trick Cyclist, Pays Visit
to Minneapolis.

Charles G. Fitzpatrick, the one legged
trick cyclist, and his brother, E. ]. Kill
patrick, of loop-the-loop fame, are at the
Hotel Nicolet. Charles G. Fitzpatrick
achieved fame some years ago by riding
a bicycle down the steps of the capitol
at Washington. Since then he has ac-
quired reputation and shekels by perform
ing many similar feats.
Kilpatrick's latest stunt and perhaps
the most dangerous he has ever attempt
ed, is driving an automobile up and down
a steep board track. The chute is built
at an angle of about IS degrees and has
no guard at the sides to prevent the auto
mobile from leaving the track. AS the
chute Is only six inches wider that the
gage of his automobile, the dangerous
character Of the trick is easily under
stood. Mr.. fitzpatrick says that this is
the most hazardous feat he has ever ac-
conplished, and that it is much more OF
a strain on his nerves than the trip down
the capitol steps. Many persons have
asked Fitzpatrick to allow them to make
the trip with him, but none has repeated
the request after one trial.

PRIVATE CLAIMS
The House Holds It's Nose and
8. Passes On,

Washington, D. c., Feb. g. -
Under the order made last Saturday,
the thirteen claim bills favorably acted
upon in committee of the whole On Fri
day but not disposed" Of by the house
were taken up in the house to-day. "
Mr.. Payne, the republican leader, who
opposed the bills in committee Of the
whole, attacked the first one which pro-
vided for the payment of two years pay
and allowances Gabout $4,000 to the
widow of Charles B. Goldsborough, an
service who died of blood poisoning con-
tracted in the service. He opposed it on
the ground that it would establish a bad
precedent, tending in the direction of a
civil pension list.
"Are there not now 1000 or more super
animated government clerks practically on
q civil pension 1ist?" asked Mr.. Hepburn
There may be many clerks who are not
fully earning their salaries replied Mr..
Payne, "but it is not the fault of con-
gress. 1t is the fault of the executive
branch Of the government
The bill was defeated 40 to 81.
Mr.. Payne characterized the next bill
which was to, pay Joseph w. Parish, the
balance alleged to be due on a. contract fol-
the delivery of 10000 tons Of ice to the
army in 1868 (some ss0o,o0o) as the
''most barefaced case which would be
hoped for some time to come" .-...
Mr.. Graft (Ill), in charge Of the bill. re-
plying to Mr.. Payne, charged him with
raising the cry last Friday that the
treasury was being looted and yet being
unable after investigation to find a valid
reason for opposing SO of the 40 bills upon
that day. The bill was passed, 100 to SO.

0'BRIEN'S FATAL DRINK
The Coroner and Superintendent of
Police Are Investigating the
Liquor Sale.

Whether c. A. Eastberg, proprietor Of
the saloon at 1131 Washington avenue s.
is in any way responsible for the death
of Wesley O'Brien, colored, from the eff
feet of drinking pint of whisky in thai
saloon, will be thoroughly established by
Harry G. Irvine, deputy coroner, and Ed
j. Conroy, chief of police. Both say tina
if they find the ,saloonkeeper in any way
responsible they will start proceedings
against him. zse<s
DR.. Irvine spent this forenoon in visit
ing the men with OBrien when he drank
the liquor, and secured valuable informa-
ton. Oliver Wiley, who made the fatal
wager with O'Brien, says they We're both
intoxicated when they entered the sa-
loon. They secured a few glasses of beer
and then O'Brien offered to bet a quarter
that he could drink half pint of liquor
without taking the glass from his lips
Wiley charges that Eastberg set out the
liquor, knowing that the wager had been
made: O'Brien drank the whisky and
then threw the quarter on the bar call
ing for a round beer. He then offered
to bet another quarter that he could
drink another half pint of whisky. and
the same proceeding was repeated. A
few minutes later he became unconscious
and died later in the night
Eastberg admits that the men were in
his saloon, but denies selling them whis-
KY. He says they came in from the
clubrooms above and bought several
glasses of beer but no whisky was drunk
there

The Latest Beat Is a Small Bow

Regular fare beaters are the bane of
street railway conductors The pa ssenger
VINO doesn't pay his fare because he isn't
asked for it occasions some loss, but the
real trouble is with the passenger who gets
on the car with the intention of beating
the company. The First avenue lines
seems to be the main point Of attack
Until recently a man who looked respect
able enough to know better worked the
First avenue conductors. He has now
peen pointed out to every conductor on
the run and his fare will be paid in the
future if. every one else is missed.
. The foxy individual walked to Eighth
street to take his car for home. He knew
that fare taking begins at Sixth strickland
that by the time Eighth street was reached
the conductor has left the platform and
was well up in the car. The individual
simply moved up close behind the con-
ductor when his back was turned and
habitually managed to escape payment of
rare. One of the fare takers is something
or a student Of physiognomy and after he
had noticed the foxlike nose and mouth
shaded by a scraggly red moustache he
watched the man, discovered the game
and tipped the scheme off. to an in
spector who at cnce gossiped with the
rest of the conductors on the subject
The latest fare-beater is a young bow
who boards the cars at Thirty fourth and
N1collet. For several trips his size en-
apled him to stow himself behind other
passengers, thus escaping the payment OF
fare. At Fifth street he would step out
and ask for transfer to the Bloomington
line, which would carry him to his school
near Seventeenth street.
Last week a conductor ferreted out the
ydungster and demanded his fare The
boy cried and begged for a transfer until
he got it. The next day, a week ago, he
was spotted again and he asked for an
envelop as he had no money. The con
ductor paid the fare, but no envelop was
returned to him. Yesterday the boy got
on again at Eighteenth street, evidently
having been put off at least once on the
way from Thirty fourth: This time en-
treaties did no good, nor the request,
Give me one of them envelopes BY con-
tinufng the alteration the school boy
with his bundle of books under his arm
managed to get as far down as Grant and

amid the roars Of laughter Of passengers
on the first car he boarded another one
block behind. : -
