To make mattters short, however, I will say that I found that he was my Paul Fischer. It was just one month from the time I met him until we were married. On our wedding day Pan' brought out a portfolio and asked me

good fortune to j to look through it and tell him what

meet — Margaret and Paul Fischer. They were so completely absorbed in each other that they seldom took the trouble to become acquainted

with strangers, not feeling the need of companionship. But, as good luck would have it. they did allow me to come to see them, and when I had known them long enough to dare to speak on personal matters, I remarked upon the perfect harmony that existed between them. Then Margaret told me their story; and this is the romance as she gave it to me: "I will tell you my side of the story and then Paul can ten you his. • As you may have discovered, I have dabbled somewhat in occult matters. 1 have always been a natural musician and I play without difficulty any piece of music which 1 may pick up, although I have never taken a lesson or ‘practiced’ one hour during my lifetime. When I was a child I had only one playmate—he was a little older than myself—and I was satisfied If I could hide away somewhere and wait for him to come. The peculiar part of the matter was that no one else was able to see him, and as for myself, I

never knew where he came from, nor did I ever see him until I looked up suddenly and found him beside me. Another peculiar fact was that he always carried an odd instrument, similar to a harp, and we would sit side by side for hours, he playing, I listening entranced, until suddenly the mu- ' sic would cease and I would look up to find the player gone. Then I would go into the house and play the music over again on the piano. This went on for years and people considered me ‘queer,’ if not quite crazy. “I never could talk with my playmate because he used a language which I could not understand. As I grew older I drifted away from him Other affairs filled my mind and it was hut seldom I would have a vision in which the same form always appeared^ but seeming to grow older even as

was.

"I began to study occult sciences when I was about 18 years old. attended spiritualists’ seances and finally took up the study of theosophy. Never, however, had I received a socalled ‘test.’ and any deductions made were of necessity founded upon the experiences of other people. “One night, after I had attended a meeting, I sat down by the table at home and, idly picking up a pencil, started to draw a portrait—I who had never In my life been able to draw a straight line. The picture resulting represented a young man with dark eyes and hair combed straight back from a wide, high forhead. The features were delicately molded and the mouth was partially rovered by mustache.” (Here she looked admiringly at her husband and then resumed the thread of her narrative). "He seemed 23 or 24 years old. and was decidedly handsome. Underneath the por trait I was impressed to write: 'This is Paul . You will soon see his face.’ I was told soon afterward that

I thought of h's drawings. The first sheet I picked up showed a portrait of myself. I was represented sitting at a table sketching a man s head, and the date was the same on which I had done my first and only drawing si* years before. Uut Paul must tell you

the rest."

“When I was a little boy, In the old country (l was born in Alsace-Lor-raine), people regarded me as being ‘very peculiar.’ I would wander oF by myself for hours where no one could find me, carrying my harp along, and when l returned I would have a picture in my mind of a little, browneyed, brown-haired girl, who listened to my music 'and reproduced everything which I played upon an instrument different from any I had ever seen. I know now it was a piano, but then I had no knowledge concerning it. Sometimes I would have long fainting spells, and while I was unconscious would babble away about the little maid who could ‘ understand what I said, because sfflPlilked a different language from my own. Finally it began to be whispered about that I was possessed of a devil and my father was forced to send me away in

order to protect me.

I came to America when I was 18 years old, and, going to the far west, amassed quite a fortune. 1 did not see the friend of my childhood so frequently as I grew older, because increasing wealth brought increasing cares and 1 had no time to make the customary visits. Still, once in awhile the old ‘fainting spells’ would come over me and when 1 returned to consciousness 1 would bring with me the memory of a smiling face and gentle, brown eyes a fare that seemed to grow older with my increasing years.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO DEVOTEES OF THE BICYCLE. Wheelmen Are Hampered in Kurope—In Russia the HieyetistA Must Pass An Examination—Bald Keeps

Foreign Restrictions. D V I C E S from abroad indicate that the growth of cycling is resulting In the imposition of restrictive rules upon riders. In a letter received in this country from a wheelman in Australia he declares that in tht city of

Melourne new laws have been adopted to regulate the bicycle traffic which are considered to be too severe. Riders are compelled to dismount in meeting horses that in any way become restive or show signs of alarm. Names and addresses must be on the wheels, and no rider is permitted to use a wheel not fitted with a brake. Riding abreast is limited to two persons. These rules are objected to by the Victorian league, and the officers propose to take steps to have the authorities amend some of the restrictions. In Russ'a, where very little wheeling is done before May, the regulations are peculiar. A rider n ust pass an examination proving his efficiency to handle a bicycle in public. Then a permit is necessary. Until this year women were prohibited from appearing on a wher). Some of the regulations affecting riders in Russia are as follows: Only “low” wheels or safeties shall be ridden, and each rider shall always carry his permit guaranteeing proficiency. Before the permit is issued the rider must file with the city governor a photograph of himself, to be used in case of trouble.

When listening to a cycle sermon— be careful not to talk in your sleep. 8. Beer wagons are hard. Besides, if you do them damage you are liable to arrest. 9. If you stop at a hotel on Sunday do not say: ‘Can I get any liquor here on Sunday?’ But sit quietly down as other gentlemen do and request of the waiter, ‘A sandwich and a little water.’ 10. A tandem with a girl on the front is a good thing to push down but not up hill. Therefore, if a hill suddenly rises before you have her dismount while you think you notice a puncture, and conclude not to remount until you reach the top."

SECRETARY WILSON TALKS ON THElh NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES.

Royalty An-heel. Cycling is in Europe one of the ac eomplishments, like tapestry, embroidery or dancing, writes a European correspondent to the “American Wheelman." It goes first on the list. All the royal ladies ride, and, of course, all the fashionable world is bound to follow. At first it began with the men. Emperor William starting and the other princes imitating. Then they begged the ladies to try, and one after another dropped into line. Queen Mar* garet of Italy, says the correspondent, is the most enthusiastic wheelwoman lu all Europe. She learned to ride a»

Hires, for 1 felt that some time, some- | where, 1 should meet her. ‘One night about six months ago I was late in leaving the office and upon reaching my home 1 hurried down to the dining room. In the hall I came \ face to face with Margaret, the friend i of my childhood, the sweetheart of my | dreams. I could not eat—I was too j excited—and I begged Mrs. Porter to <all the newcomer into the parlor to introduce us. The longer l talked with her the more convinced 1 became that she was the one woman in all the world whom I could love. I was curious to find out whether she had any conception of the peculiar circumstances which drew me to her and I questioned her adroitly in regard to

the matter.

“Then, she, who had puzzled her iear little head in vain over the matter, told me all her experience and when we compared notes we decided that, as heaven had meant us for each other from the beginning, there was no reason why we should wait for our happiness. ’So we were married and lived nappily ever after,’ as they say in the fairy stories. “Now, I myself do not pretend to give an explanation of this, but Margaret, who has studied these matters closely, says that my astral body must have detached itself from the material form and sped across the sea to join her, drawn by some inexplicable, invisible attraction. That may be the ease. If Margaret says so l am willing to accept it as truth. But this I do know. She is a dear, sweet little woman, the sweetheart of my waking and sleeping hours, my alter ego, the cenler of my universe.”

tions. Riding in bicycle costume without a coat is prohibited. Riding on certain streets named by the city governor is not permitted. Any violation of any of the regulations causes the rider to forfeit his permit and it cannot be renewed for another year. It is estimated that there are 7,000 riders in

St. Petersburg.

IS 1.000 For Bald. Eddie Bald scored a decisive victory over Kiser, Cooper and Gardiner in the one-mile race at Manhattan Beach, under the auspices of the Riverside Wheelmen. Later, Bald, Cooper and Kiser met in a series of races at one mile in Bay City, Mich., for a purse of $1,000. Bald won one race and Kiser another. The deciding race was postponed on account of rain. So Chairman Mott of the racing hoard of the L. A. W. agreed to allow the men to decide the issue on their order of finish in the one-mile profession race. The one-mile professional scratch race was run in five trial heats, two semi-finals and a final. The latter was reserved for the last event of the day. Bald and Kiser, who had qualified in the trial heats, were among the starters, of course, and all eyes were centered upon them. There were eight contestants and they got off well together, with Kiser, Bald, Taylor, Hoyt, Gardiner, Cooper, Titus in order named after they had traversed half of the first lap. On the second lap Kiser, Bald, Gardiner, Cooper, Titus and Jenny ran in the order named behind the pacemaker. Jenny went high on the hank and shot into first place as he passed the stand at the beginning of the third lap and final lap. His lead

WAS INTRODUCED. Paul Pitcher was a spirit and was the same little boy with whom I had been acquainted in my childhood. I was told also mat he was born in AlsaceLorraine and had never been outside of his own country. 1 treasured the portrait I had obtained, it had a great fascination for me, but so much oe cupied my thoughts that I had no time, as a rule, to think much of the original. Six years passed by and 1 found it necessary to go to a strange city. I readied the town early in the morning and, hunting up a hoarding house at once, I settled down for good rest before commencing the busi ness which had brought me to the place. "As I was going to dinner that night I came face to face, in the hall, with Paul. 1 started and so did he. Then with, T beg your pardon madam,’ he stood aside to allow me to pass. I was too much disturbed to be able to eat much, and I felt his eyes were watching me all the time, so I soon left the table. “In the evening Mrs. Porter, the woman at whose house I was staying, knocked at my door and asked me to come into the parlor. I hesitated, but wr-nt ->nd was introduced to ‘Paul Fischer’—the man of my dreams—the man of the portrait. I reoogniz<>d the face, the voice, the way in which the hair was arranged, in feet, every detail corresponded with my preconceived ideas of how he would look. But my head was In a whirl. My Paul Fischer was supposed to he a spirit, hut this Paul Fischer was decidedly material. “It was just one week before the problem was solved. I do not intend

"WHERE WOULD YOU BEGIN?” Forty-two persons who had resided for three mon hs or more in college settlements, thus coming into contact with the very poor, were recently asked: "What reforms or changes have you c ime to feel are most urgent and most practicable, and where would you begin?” In the Publications of the Church Social Union the replies are summarized as follows: First and universal conies improved housing of the poor: In quick succession follow the organization of labor, the eight-hour movement, playgrounds ami parks, improved i c’lools and school laws, municipal reform, persuasion of tin poor to have smaller families, trade schools, public baths, the introduction of poetry into the lives of the poor, income tax. coffee houses, cooking and sewing obligatory in public schools, tegcneratlon of the upper c asses, consumers’ leagues, (he inculcation of thrift, free silver, municipalization of railways and lighting, temperance reform, sweat-shop regulations and direct religious work. Some of the suggestions are rather general, and some are a trifle absurd; yet the list has its uses. It proves, for instance, that intelligent and sincere people may honestly differ concerning the solution of the problem of poverty, and the disagreement only brings out the ’truth that there is a diversity cf needs, as well as “diversity of gifts, and that any and every possessic-n or r,c ompllshment may be so used as to brighten the lives of the unfortunates. Quite as important as the question, “Where would you begin?” is another inquiry which conscience must force upon every thoughtful citizen: “Will you begin somewhere?”

EDDIE BALD, was short lived, however, and he fell back to sixth place in the next 300 yards. The finish was a beautiful one with Bald and Kiser working very hard in the last 100 yards. Bald cut away about 50 yards from home and beat the Ohio man out by a length of a wheel. Cooper was the same distance behind Kiser, with Taylor close up in fourth place. Bald's victory was very popular, and he received an ovation when he rode past the stand after making a circuit of the track. New Rule* for Cycler*. A wheelman who has recently emerged from a term in the hospital has formulated a new decalogue, which he promises to adhere as long as the bicycle shall have attractions for him. It is as follows: ”1. To avoid tiresome climbs up long hills on windy days with a high gear—use a low gear. 2. To increase mileage and to do cen turies in ’surprisingly’ short timeuse a cyclometer with a key. 3. To escape disfigurement of the face—allow

ED KISER.

Monaco two years ago, and since that time has ridden almost every fair day. Recently she received as a present a gold-plated wheel, made in Paris, having her initials and crown in Jewels on the handle bar. When she is in Rome she rides only in the palace garden, but when at her country places she takes to the private parks, and rides

madly up hill and down.

The Czarina of Russia. like her English and German cousins, rides considerably. When she was in England on her last visit she rode daily, making a beautiful picture on the wheel. The Princess of Wales rides a tricycle, and her three daughters are famous at wheeling. They all learned to ride at the same time, and the cycling instructor from London was greatly ; amazed at the gay spirits and jollity i of the English princesses. Little King Alphonso of Spain rides a wheel, and so does his Hapsburg mother, in her moments of leisure. The Infanta Eulalie rides finely, and uses an American wheel. She appears in a stunning rig, if the reports may be believed, comprising a skirt of dark blue and jacket of dull red, cut in military fashion. Two grooms, in impressive uniforms, follow her, and frequently she is accompanied by friends among the nobility. Mile. Lucie Faure, the French president's daughter, is one of the most charming of the young women who cycle in Paris. Her costume i?

said to be one of the prettiest.

ODNKY J DOWLING, who is better known professionally as “Rob G 1 e n a 1 v in," has been playing ball for a dozen or more years, and in that period was twice in the major league, being both times co nnected

with tlie Chicago team. He was born Jan. 17, 1888, at Indianapolis, Ind., and began playing ball professionally with the St. Joseph team of the Western league in 1887; but after that club disbanded he finished the season with the Wichita team, which replaced the St. Josephs. In 1888 he was a member of the professional team at Dubuque, la. In 1890, after the Brotherhood revolt, from which the Players’ league emerged, he was given a trial by the Chicago club of the National league, participating in sixty-six championship games that season, and ranking high both as a batsman and fielder. In 1891 he was a member of the Portland club of the Pacific Northwest league, participating in eighty-four championship contests, and ranking first as a second baseman and twelfth as a batsman, according to the averages of that league. He also took part in the after series, for the championship of the Pacific coast, between the Portlands, champions of the Pacific Northwest league, and the San Joses, winners of the California league pentant, In which he led in batting, with a percentage of .328, leading such noted batsmen as Lange and Everitt of the Chicagos and Reitz of the Baltlmores, etc. In 1892 he was with the Los Angeles team of the California league, and was re-engaged by the same club for the season of 1893, and when that club disbanded during that season he came east and signed with the Chicago club of the major league. In 1894 he was with the Detroit team of the Western league, participating in one hundred and twenty-nine cham pionship games that season. After the close of the campaign he had some trouble about a portion of his salary, which was awarded him bv the di rectors of the Western league. In 1895 he was connected with the Indianapolis and Grand Rapids teams of the Western league, being engaged by the former club to play second base during the temporary absence of Canavan who had been injured. Glenalvin appeared on the Indianapolis team on May 27. and remained with it until the latter part of July, when he was released to the Grand Rapids club, appearing on the latter's team on July 30, and he remained with it to the end of the season, he participating in eighty-eight championship games with the two teams, and made some very creditable batting and fielding performances. Twice during the season he made four safe hits to a game, and ten times he made three safe hits, including doubles, triples and home runs. In the two games played on May 30, at Indianapolis, against the St. Paul, he made six safe hits. Including a home inn, two triples, and two doubles. His best fielding feat in any one game that season was the accepting of fourteen out of fifteen chances; twice he accepted all of thirteen, and once all of twelve chances, three times ten chances, seven times nine chances, eleven times eight chances, ten times seven chances, and eleven times six chances. In three games at Indianapolis, on Aug. 19, 20, 21, he accepted all of thirty chances at second base. In 1896 he was one of the organizers of the Pacific Northwest league, and had the franchise of the Portland club, he being captain, manager and second baseman of its team,

seven cham ‘s, and seventeen times i?VTJ\[I. , PQ AT? TTI P ^HT TIT six chances to a game. In four games 1 ^ .vIiALIjIU i v I 1 IlEi OUL Ilia played on the afternoons of Sept. 11 j

and 12, at Indianapolis, he accepted all | except two of thirty-seven chances. During the past winter Glenalvin and Robert H. Leadley purchased the franchise of the Grand Rapids club of the Western league from George Ellis, and Glenalvin is now captain-manager and second baseman of the team, and thus far lias been doing some fine work for his club, both at the bat and in the field. His best hatting feats, so far, was twice making four safe hits in one game, and six times three safe hits, and on June 21, at Grand Rapids against the Indianapolis team, he made three double baggers, altogether having five triples and twelve double baggers to his credit. His best fielding performance thus far was the accepting of twelve out of thirteen chances at second base, twice all of ten chances, six times nine chances, five times all of eight chances, and nine times six

chances to a game.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star: The story sent out from Pittsburg by the New York Journal man. Roth, to the effect that one of the Pirates twirlers was laying himself liable to perpetual tdackltst by standing in with the Pittsburg gamblers, and pitching as they willed, has aroused the Pittsburg management. There is nothing so vile as the diseased imagination of a dishonest critic, and for a man of this class to cast such mean insinuations at the pitchers of any club is most disreputable, to say the least President Kerr, of the Pittsburg club, naturally is angered over the accusa tion, which puts every pitcher on the Pittsburg team under suspicion with the few people who are not onto Mr. Roth's curves, and to vindicate Presi dent Kerr, the twirlers, and incidental ly to nail Mr. Roth to the cross, Mr. Kerr offers the gentleman $2,500

Hriioftt* to Them by the Inrren«e In farm l*ro«lu«*tH—New ( ropa and Mitre Olver* Milled Farming Are Needed*—Hairy Fanning Should AImo Re Knrouragml* Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has Been interviewed upon the subject ol farming in the Southern States By a representative 'of the Manufacturers* Record, of Baltimore. We quote from

the interview as follows:

How has the South Been Benefited By the increases in farm products?” It has been benefited in proportion as other sections of the country. What that proportion is cannot be approximated. It is Best to look at general facts. The South produces crops peculiarly its own—fruits, all varieties of vegetables, tobacco, rice, sugar, cotton, etc.—all of which are in demand in their own, Western and Northern markets, and some in foreign markets., If times are prosperous, if the prosperity of the people at large is augmented l>y the prosperity of the farmer, arq not the products of any one section, say the (South, whether they are necessities or luxuries, more iu demand everywhere, and, therefore, are not

their prices increased?”

‘‘What are the most urgent heeds

of the Southern farmer?”

‘‘Oh! That is the question. All farmers everywhere may lie said to need something. Everybody in every Business or trade may Be said to need something, though he may lie getting along all rigid. There is room for improvement in every walk of life. 1 might answer your question iu a gen-j eral way, as so many have answered it.' I have already spoken upon the needs of a resuscitated soil. I know the Southern people to he industrious. But I am going to find out and study thoroughly their needs, and I am going to satisfy those needs as far as it lies iu my power. I aL going all through the South in October. 1 am not going as a high commissioner or special ambassador, or special envoy,’ or anything of that style. I shall not go in a special car, viewing the country from a car window while traveling at the rate of forty or fifty miles aq hour. I shall go as a plain American citizen. I want facts, and facts only. I want to see the farmer in his shirt sleeves, not the politician, with his high-sounding and plausible theories, I can get all of these I want right here

in Washington."

‘‘What are the general needs of thq Southern farmer as far as you have had an opportunity to observe them?" ‘‘New crops and lots of them, more diversified farming, more up-to-date methods in some sections, more general and liberal raising of cattle fon market and for dairy products, ami sheep for mutton and wool. “One general need of the South wes# is a closer relation and a more r&pid commnnication with the European markets, and w ith this object in view

Expert* at fycllne. Being an expert rider does not mean being able to get over the ground faster than any one else. Frequently the men who think so know next to nothing of superior riding. It Is the man who can bring his machine almost to a standstill in a crowd; who knows how to “slow up” and wait for a team to pass without allowing Mis front wheel to do an extra amount of wabbling, who is rightly termed expert. Such a rider can push a weak companion up a steep grade with an ease that is enviable, all the while his own machine is guided almost entirely by the swaying of his body, and without running into the wheel of his companion. It is delightful being helped up a hill by a stalwart rider.

An Electric Bicycle. A novel event took place recently on the Seine bicycle track, Paris, where the brothers Jallu made their first trial run on a new electric motor tandem. After making several laps to limber up the machine, full speed was put on, with the result that 50 meters, or 1,625 feet, were covered In twenty-alght to twenty-nine seconds, and 1,000 metres, or 3,250 feet. In fifty-seven seconds. It is believed that with some practice the time can be lessened, and that five miles will be made with this machine in the same time as the best four miles so far covered on the ordinary bicy-

Freedman Talkn of Cllqu* Itm* President Freedman, of the New York Club, sailed on the Majestic recently for Europe. Before going Mr. Freedman, iu an interview, vehemently denounced Nick Young and John B. Day, inspector of umpires, for the poor umpire system in the League. ‘'Action must be taken," he said, “or the game as a sport and a financial enterprise must fail. Never have so many pro tests been made against umpires as this year, and the public—even those who sympathize with the clubs receiving the benefit of this injustice—is becoming disgusted. Nick Young is to blame, and I am not the only one disgusted with his work. Inspector of Umpires John B. Day comes back from his Western tour of alleged inspection with a whitewashing report of the work of the staff. Place it beside the statements of the press critics, presidents' protests, and sworn affidavits of drunkenness on the field and disgraceful acts on the part of umpires, and which is to be credited?” Mr. Freedman intimated that President Young had too much to do, and that he should be relieved of umpire supervision. He further asserted that there is a clique in the League fighting against the New York club. Messrs. Byrne, of Brooklyn, and Brush, of Cincinnati, are mentioned as being ringleaders of the Clique dominating the League. Mr. Freedman says they have gained the enmity of the Eastern magnates, and predicts that there won't be a thing left of them at the next League meeting.

I have already placed myself in correspomlence with several ocetjn steamship companies to induce them to establish lines direct Between the ports of the Gulf of Mexico and those of Europe, the steamships to Be provided with refrigerators, so that the fruits, vegetables, dairy products, poultry, eggs and other perishable farm products can Be shipped expeditiously to all the markets of Europe. Just think of the vast territory to be benefited By such an enterprise—Southern Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and all of that section lying north of these States nearer to the Gulf than to the Atlantic seaboard. Wliy the farmers of the Southwest will be nearer European markets than their Brethren of the upper Mississippi valley. “The Southern farmer should pay special attention, and he is already beginning to do so, to more crops. Al least three-fourths of every farm should be grass, should Be a pasturage, thus^ affording that relief, that rest, widely the Southern farms needs most.

The league was short lived, the season beginning May 2, and terminating on June 14. After the disbandment of that league Glenalvin returned east and signed with the Milwaukee club of the Western league, where he finished the season, participating in seventy-eight championship games, as second baseman of the Milwaukee club, and again making a very excellent showing, both at the hat and in the field.
