SAYS BICYCLE IS A CORSE. Women's Rescue League Ilenoauces Its Use in a Series of Resolutions. The Women's Rescue league intends to begin an active crusade against tho use of the bicycle by women. The league hjis adopted those resolutions: ■Whereas, Tho alarming Increase of Immorality among young women In the United States Is most startling to those ,who have Investigated the subject of disease and vice; Whereas. A great curse has been Infthted upon the people of this country because of the present bicycle craze, and If a | halt Is not called soon 75 per cent, of the] cyclists will be an army of Invalids within the next ten years: Whereas, Disease among the young ■women Is appalling because of the Imprudent use of the bicycle, by bringing on diseases peculiar to women. Furthermore, Immoderate bicycling by young women Is to be deplored because of evil associations and opportunities offered by cycling sports; Whereas, recycling by young women has helped more than any other medium to swell the ranks of reckless girls, who finally drift Into the standing army of outcast women of the United States; Whereas “Bicycle run for Christ," by socalled Christians, should be properly termed “Bicycle run for Satan," for the bicycle Is the devil's advance agent, morally and physically. In thousands of Instances; therefore be It Resolved, That tho Women’s Rescue league denounces bicycle riding by young , women bceaust of producing Immoral suggestions, and Imprudent associations, both in language and dress, which have a tendency to make women not only unwomanly, but Immodest ns well. * Resolved, That married women should not resort to riding the wheel unless they wish to prevent motherhood; and be It

Resolved, That the Women’s Rescue league petitions all true women and clergymen to ulu in denouncing the present bicycle craze by women as Indecent and

vulgar; and bo It further

Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent where they will do the most

superior science, with the result that Lucey was knocked down aril out. He was sin tippled into the hospital, n sorrylookinp young man. His nose was broken anil Ids features badly battered. As the two pugilists were not detected while fiphtinp, they will not be punished. The “yearlings” have been avenged, and as T.ucey stood op and took his medicine bravely he will not be further molested while at the academy, having given sufficient proof of

his courage.

INEBRIATING SPRING WATER. Well In Indiana That Bubbles Flnlft That I* 8trantj«*ly Exhilarating. Mill Creek township, Putnam county, Ind., is stirred over the discovery of some remarkable properties in th ■ water of a well on the farm of Oas i Jiroadstreet. The water is pure, cold and sparkling, but it contains some s'-eret property which, as seriously alleged by scores of witnesses, gives the same exhilarating effect upon the human system ns alcohol. Dozens of j>eople have experienced the. sensation of a “jag ' by drinking freely of the water, but no bad elffet followed. Samples of the water hate been sent to Greeucnsth* and to the State university for analyst:. Sonic of the people who have e\i>erimented with it assert that the intense eoltlness of the water upon a heated system gives the intoxicating effect, but others.insist that the water is the “genuine stuff,” and that it is the elixir for which search has been made during ail the centuries past. A series of excavations have been projected to the Broadstreet farm, and little else is discussed in Putnam county.

The lioness was on view for the first time the other day, though shearrived in Chicago on the Fourth, and wns the center of crowds of admiring

While the matron of the Cnion railway station at Indiannpolls, Ind., was busy the other night with passengers a woman approach, d with the remark: "The parents of this child have separated, and she is tagged for Decatur, 111.” The matron begged the woman to wait a moment, but when she looked around the stranger had gone, but had left a child, a bright two-year-old, with a card pinned to its dress on which was inscribed: ‘My name is Leila Ress, of Winchester. I am going to Mrs. Emma Knight, post office 1k>x 112, Tlecatur, 111." The impression prevailed among the Cnion station attnehes that something was wrong, but later there came a telegram from Mrs. Knight saying that the child's mother was her sister, and to forward ns per directions. The little one remained about the Cnion railway station throughout tho day and until 11 p. m. at night, making hosts of friends. During the day the matron received 50 or more offers of adoption.

Entire Colored I'opulutlon of Atlantic City

Attend* the Obsequies.

The entire colored population of Atlantic City, N. J., is plunged in the deepest gloom, for death has removed from their midst a remarkable, dog who, in their superstitious minds, was accredited w ith supernatural powers and supposed to possess all the qualities belonging to a successful mascot. The funeral of the animal took place the other day, and hardly a descendant of llhin living there failed to attend and pay respects to the dead. Never was such a scene witnessed iu this country. Had the. corpse been that of a distinguished member of the race It could not have received greater honors. It was laid out in a satin-lined white casket, with a two-inch blue ribbon alKiut the neck. Tho funeral took place from the cigar store of Ware Johnson, on Baltic avenue, where the body bad lain in state all morning, being viewed by a constant procession of

negroes of all ages.

The dog was known as “Cufie Johnson,” and w as owusd by Mitchell Chanclle, who grieves at the loss as much as he might a child of his own. It was of shepherd breed and very intelligent. Among the many tricks he could do w as the holding of five, cards in his paw, shaking of dice, which more than anything endeared him to ills owner, and similar feats. He was often the flood Samaritan to supply the wants of the indigent people among whom he lived, and it was his penchant for doing charitable work that is supposed to have led to his death. He was in the habit of entering Johnson’s butcher shop when it was unguarded and purloining any piece of meat he could make off with. The other evening he made away with a leg of lamb, which was said to tie poisoned ami set as a trap, and ns a result his decth ensued. A REMARKABLE B'BLE. Ai-MaU of Kenorm lllUAtriito It n-ltli One

THEIR HONEYMOON AWHEEL. Bridal Couple Start on an Extended Tout on a - Bicycle Built for Two.” Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lamson, of Aurora, 111., have broken away from conventional forms and are celebrating their honeymoon in a decidedly unique manner. Mr. and Mrs. Lamson were married the other night at the home of the bride’s parents, and the next morning mounted a “bicycle built for two” and started on their wedding tour. They have securely fastened inside the frame of their wheel, which by the way is a gentleman’s tandem, two carriers with a capacity sufficiently large to contain necessary changes of clothing and other supplies. The bride’s traveling dress, or bloomers rather, is of Inittle green, trimmed with gold braid to match the enameling on the wheel, while the groom wears the conventional pepper and salt cycling outfit. They passed through Chicago in the afternoon on their way to South Bend, Ind., where they intended to spend the night. Their destination is Niagara Falls, with a possible extension to Montreal. Mr. and Mrs. Lamson expect to make the entire round trip on their wheel, aud will be at home to their friends in Aurora
