TO DE CONTINUED,
Ring Out the Old.

A manifest absurdity is the practice,
still apparently universal, of figuring
and stating the gearing Of the bicycle
1t is survival of the unfittest. When
the safety bicycle first came in COM
petition with the ordinary or high
wheel, 1t was quite natural that they
should be compared, and 1t was proper
that the crank revolutions of the one
should be stated in terms of the other
but now that the ordinary is absolutely
dead, why should Sthe old and always
inconvenient practice be retained? II
would evidently be better all around TO
give the crank effect of the safety either
in the feet of road traversed per crank
revolution or in the number of revolu.
tons to the mile. Thus, a 54-inch ma
chine might be called 1s-foot wheel
for the number Of feet to the revolution,
or it might be called 1913 wheel for the
number of treads to the mile. Almost
any method would be better than the
present historical relic.-Americap
Machinist.

Chartering Special Trains.

From the New York Times.
Special trains are becoming so frequent
now that they attract little attention, ex-
cept they make record runs for long dis
tances or unless there is some trouble col
lecting payment for them." said a veteran
railroad man. Ten years ago when I was
a division superintendent on one of the big
trunk lines running out of New York
special train was an event that never failed
to get mention in the newspapers. Station
ma sters required ample notice to get one in
readiness and there was a great deal of
fuss making arrangements all along the
line. At any of the big railroad terminals
in any city now man can get a special en-
CINE and car to chase fiier almost as easy
as he can check his trunk. Only a few
minutes notice is required, and right Of
way Is obtained for 100 or 200 miles along
the line without noticeably disturbing
schedule runs. A man who has to keep an
important business engagement or a Wo-
man hurrying to sick husband, pays 500
or double that sum for a special with as lit
tie concern as paying a supper check in a
swell hotel. We live in a rapid and extrav-
agant age, and grow accustomed to such
things"

KENsINGTON NEWS.
Improvements Made to Noyes' Library
Personal Mention.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
KENSINGTON, Md. August 13, 1903
The trustees of the Noyes Library have
recently had the interior of that building
renovated throughout Among other things
the ceilings and walls have been painted
and new cases have been added to hold the
newest publications which are constantly
being added to the two thousand recently
catalogued. In order to further improve the
building a lawn party has been arranged,
the proceeds of which will be used to re-
paint the exterior of the building and to
improve the surrounding parking.
The library is situated on a triangular
parking on Montgomery avenue and Car
roll place, and is thus conspcuously sit
uated and accessible from all sides. The
building was erected in 1880, and with the
parking donated to the town as a free Ii
brary by Mr. B. H. Warner with the I'M
Outstanding that if it were not kept up it
would revert to the original owner. This
precaution on the part of the donor and the
enthusiasm with which it was received by
the residents made 1t a substantial institu-
ton from the very start. Mr.. Crosby 8.
Noyes, for whom the library was named,
donated a large collection of books of fic-
ton, history, art and valuable volumes for
reference many of which were purchased
with the generous sum he contributed at
that time.%
While the books are free to all to use in
the reading room, a nominal sum is
charged to those desiring to take books
home and these funds are used for pur-
chasing new volumes, and in subscriptions
to the current magazines. Entertainments
from time to time given by the citizens
including one event participated in by the
Woman's Club of Kensington, have been
great helps toward filling the new shelves
which are added from time to time Mr.
Noyes' subsequent donation of books and
cash set pace which the patrons Of the
library have striven to keep up to.
A board of trustees govern the institution
1t is now composed of Marshall B. Cush-
man, president: Louis w. Maxson, secre-
tary: J. Wilson Townsend. treasurer; Rev
James T. Marshall. Watson W. Eldridge, J.

NOTED sALooNKEEPER DEAD.
John A. Showles Was Picturesque
Figure in Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, August 13.-John- A.
Showles. a saloonkeeper known to almost
everyone in Milwaukee as Judge" Showles,
is dead of heart failure. He had conducted
a saloon here for more than thirty years.
He never sold mixed drink, declined to
sell more than three drinks to a man. and
If he knew mans family suffered be-
cause he frequented Showles place, no
price could buy a drink.
Six O'Clock in the evening was his clos
ing hour. and when the clock struck 0 his
best customer was told that business was
over for the day.
Another pronounced popularity of the
Judge" was his dress, which was of the
years before the war. When he walked the
streets it was in the dress Of the days of
Clay and Webster-fowing coat, trousers
wide in the leg and generous of girth. ard
collar of the big flowing kind seen in the
pictures of early day statesmen.
He was we'll educated and Mason of
high degree. Nothing is known of his lam
lily.

WRECK ON ROCK ISLAND.
Train Ran Into Washout - Fireman
John Leggett Killed.

TOPEKA. Kan, August 13.-The engine.
mail car and baggage car Of the Texas ex-
press on the Rock Island, which left To.
peka at midnight, went through bridge
across Hendricks creek. near Alma, this
morning. killing Fireman John Leggett and
seriously injuring Engineer John McSteen
The baggagemen and expressmen jumped
when the shock came. and were swept by
the waters in tree tops, from which they
were rescued at daylight by William
Graves fisherman. Graves also found the
engineer unconscious and entangled in the
limbs of a tree.
The engine is at the bottom of the creek
out of sight. One car Is dangling from the
end of the bridge. and another Is lodged on
the bank of the stream. partially under
water. That a heavy loss of life did not
follow IS due to the narrOwness of the
stream where the disaster occurred. A
cloudburst had filed the creek and weak
ened the bridge.

RfvoK1Na DOCTORS LICENSE.
Necessity for Definite Plan of Proceed
ure Cited,

DIR. j. B. Gregg Custis. president of the
board of medical supervisors of the Dis
trict. recently wrote to the Commissioners
citing the law under which the board of
medical supervisors may revoke a license
to practice medicine. DIR. Gusts called at
tention to the necessity for the establish
ment of some definite plan of procedure in
such cases as may arise from time to time
in which 1t is apparent that the interests
of the community require revocation Of
license.
DR.. Gusts recommended that the major
and superintendent of police be instructed
to bring to the attention OF the corporation
counsel cases in which 1t appears that a
license to practice medicine or to practice
midwifery may be refussble or revocable
under the Law. and that the corporation
counsel be instructed to formulate, present
and prosecute charges against the people in
question before the board of medical super
vfsors and the Court of Appeals.
Commissioner Macfarland is very much
interested in having this law executed. and
Is DESTROYS of having the plan proposed by
the board or some other scheme worked
out He has recommended that the matter
De referred at once to the corporation coun-
sci for an opinion outlining a proper plan
or procedure and embodying any sugges-
lions that might aid in the execution of the
law in question.

NAKED BOY ADRIFT IN BOAT.
Picked Up 100 Miles OF the Coast of
Georgia

NEW YORK, August 13.-The Morgan
line steamer Eldorado, which arrived here
today from Galveston. had on board a
twevle-y ear-old boy who was found adrift
in an open boat about 100 miles off the
coast of Georgia on August 10. He was
naked and almost dead from exposure.
After the lad had been revived somewhat
he told Captain Prescott that with two
other boys he was fishing outside the har-
Dor of Havana when the boat broke adrift
and they were unable to row it ashore. Two
Of the lads. seeing the land rapidly reced-
ing. plunged into the water and swan for
shore. The other boy was unable to swim
so far. and remained in the boat without
food or water until picked up by the Ell
dorado. He says he was adrift for five
days. Captain Prescott thinks the boat
could not have drifted $50 miles from Ha-
vana to the point where 1t was sighted in
less than six days and possibly longer.
