An instructor has given 1 the following: J 1. Grasp the handle bars lightly. i Do not stiffen the muscles o! the arms ( and shoulders. 2. Turn the wheel gently in the ( direction toward which you feel you are | falling. Do not jerk it but turn gently, i 3. Do not be afraid to bear down on t ■ the pedals The faster you go the more i easily will the wheel be controlled, but ;do not attempt scorching until you ' teel that you are master of the wheel. ■ 4. Always look ahead, or rather toward the point at which you wish to ; go. If you look down at the wheel you j are almost sure to become ‘’rattled," I and if you tix a terror stricken jiaze on any object you wish to avoid, you are almost sure to run into it.

GIXJKAL ib-JNSION DHL. I Some Very Important Changes Suggested to Existing La.vs. Wasbixgtox, April 23. — The house yesterday entered upon the consideration of the general pension bill, reported, from the invalid pension committee. It amends the existing pension laws in > some very important respects. i Before the pension bill was taken up, ( Mr. Goodwin (Pop.) was seated in place , of Mr. Cobb (Dem.) from the Fifth ‘ Alabama district. Bills were also passed donating, con- 1 deihned cannon and cannon balls to St. 1 Boniface Union Soldiers’ Monument * association of Chicago. Mr. Pickier, chairman of the com- 1 mittee on invalid pensions then called 1 up his general pension bill. The bill 1 makes a presumption of death of tin en- 1 listed man exist if no tidings have been ] heard tjom him for years, it pip- h video that (Insertion or dislfonorable dis- , charge shall not be a bar to a pensloh Under the act of 1899, if the enlisted man has served 90 days subsequent to ‘ such discharge; it provides that pensions ‘ allowed shall date from their first application; it fixes the maximum income of a, widow entitled to a pension under the . act of 1890, at 8300 per annum; it pro- j Tides that no pension shall be reduced or discontinued except for fraud or re- ] covery from disability and that eiscon- J tinned pensions when'reconsidered and ' reallowed, shall date from their discon- f tinuance. ( Mr. Pickier took the floor and made , an extended speech in support of the . measure. It added no new classes of pensioners to the rolls, he urged, but ’ only liberalized existing laws and neutralized the hardship of some of the. 1 existing regulations and. practices of the. ’ department. He criticized the admitiis- ’ tration severely. He spoke foi\ three f hours. Senate Finally Disposed of the Sectarian 1 School Question. Wa’SHINGJON, April 23. —The senate yesterday disposed of the sectarian school question by adopting a compromise framed by Senator Cockrell of Missouri. The Indian bill as it came 1 from the house provided that “no money herein appropriated shall be paid for 1 education in sectarian schools." This provision is struck out by the I Cockrell amendment as adopted and it is declared to be the settled polii/bf the government to make. no appropriations for sectarian schools after July 1, 1898, thus giving two years for the abandon-ment-of sectarian schools, instead of an immediate abandonment. Ute amendment was adopted by the decisive vote of 38 to 24. The Indian bill was not completed when the senate adjourned. During the day the bill was passed providing government regulation of excursion fleets attending regattas; also the. resolution calling for information as to the arrest of Bishop. Diaz, in Cuba. The president’s vetoes of two pension " .bills brought some criticism of thechairman of the committee ou*pensions, Air. Gallinger, but no action was taken on the vetoes beyemd££ferripg timm.
