BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Surety Co Explains Why Construc-
 ton Co Stopped WorE.

The department of public works met in the mayors office last night and lis tened to D. A. Macbeth, assistant gen. eral manager of the National Surety Co, New York, regarding the failure of the McGovern Construction Go, for whom they have furnished bond of $20,0O0, to keep right on with the work of constructing the outfall sewer to South Brooklyn. He is bright fellow and found no trouble in getting what he wanted from the board, reasona- ble time to give the McGoverns a chance to get on their feet, and if they can't do this the company would like to have some other competent man figure on 1t. His explanation made things look pretty good for the Me Governs. They are in no way re- sponsibie. The man who handled the money, Senator Fffer of Philadelphia, dropped S60,OO0 recently in some real estate ventures, and as a consequence the company has not been able to meet its obligations. Fifer, 1t appears, in- tends to make good and has given the company property near Philadelphia worth S25,0OO and they expect to raise enough on this to put them in a posi- ton to go ahead. Mir Macbeth said that the McGoyerns and the Surety Co.'S agent at Philadelphia are his au- thority for all this. and If 1t be true the McGoverns will be back on the job shortly. If not, he would guaran- tee that the company will put some body else on. provided that is agree able to the city.
 While 10 vote to that effect WAS taken, II was understood at the close of the hearing that the Surety Go will be given ten days to see what It can do in the premises.
 During the discussion MT Cairns said that S4.0O0 or 5000 will have to be spent as soon as possible In order to protect what has been done. He also reminded the company's agent that the city will look to them for the ex- pense of policing the ditch from the time 1t was abandoned until work is resumed.

But your father. thoughtfuIlx be

But your father" thoughtfully be gan Mir Fourthly.
 Well, of course, we expected him but if his machine has broken down il may take him some time to fix 1t, and I don't think we'd better wait" sai( the young man.
 No, let's don't wait for papa" ex claimed the girl, flor when his ma chine breaks down he gets awfully ex cited and he would not be in state te witness a wedding"
 With that the young people took their positions and in the fewest word: possible the minister pronounced them husband and wife. The final words had scarcely left his mouth when Mir Neyersmith plunged his machine alongside and shouted furiously:
 "Madge Neversmith-" but he got nc further. for the smiling bridegroom said, mockingly:
 'Madge Doolittle, if you please, Mir Neversmith."
 Yes, papa" chimed the bride. We are married. You can ask MT. Fourth ly. We were on the way to his house when the old machine broke down and
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-11-17

 providentially he found us here, and we didn't wait for you, for we feared you would be late"
 Neversmith looked at the minister inquiringly and saw at once that he had arrived too late. -.. a.,.
 "So that is the reason you did mol care to wait for your father?" began the minister, as he took in at glance the situation.
 Forgive us, MT. Fourthly," began the girl, and, turning to her father, she went on: land you. too, father. I love Leonard and you wouldn't consent to our marriage, and so we eloped, and am very sorry-no, mean glad-oh I don't know what I mean, only that want you to forgive me-
 Neversmith's face, which up to this time had been like a thundercloud, suddenly lighted up with a smile.
 Well, I suppose I must make the best of it. Come, pile into this ma. chine. and I'll take you to my house Here. Mir. Fourthly, is a little token of my esteem. that the bridegroom in his excitement has forgotten to give you" and he handed the astonished minister a crisp s100 bill.
 When the bridal party arrived home Mrs. Neyersmith. who, by the way, was fond of young Doolittle, was al the door to bestow her blessings.
 Its all your fault" growled Mir Neversmith. as he shook his fist at Maggie, the maid. You ought to be drawn and quartered."
 Yes, sir; thank you, sir" replied the maid, with a grin.

REAL MARvELS OF SPEED.
Some Bicycle Records That Put tt Blush the Best Pace of
 the Autos.

Because the automobile Is so con- spicuously in the public eye, the world is inclined to marvel at each successive report of its speed performances. They almost shudder as they read of some flights of 50 and SO miles an hour by laundering monsters of 90. 100 or even 120-horse power. And while they mar vel and shudder, speed performances far more remarkable are being permit ted to be passed "unheralded and un- sung"-the performances of men on bicycles.
 How insignificant appears 60 miles an hour by a gigantic motor car pro- pelled by an engine of 100-horse power. when compared with 56 miles per hour by bicycle propelled by one-man power! How little real merit there is in no miles in two hours by the same mighty creation of steel when in the same period of time a mere man on i two wheels completes full and more than 999 miles! And yet this is the case. It has become so generally the fashion to overlook and minimize the bicycle and to glorify the motor car that few there are who know that within this twelvemonth two French cyclists have set up records such as put the motor car to blush-Guignard, 65 miles 1,515 yards in 50 minutes, and Contenet, 99.36 miles in twice 60 min utes. If the world sought real marvels of speed, these would seem to supply them.
 Of course, these records were made in the wake of powerful motorcycles, but that detracts little from their mer- 1t. That flesh and blood should be capable of maintaining such amazing flights under any conditions hirly slaggers imagination when it is given play.-The Bicycling World.
