A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
MAN ABOUT TOWN.
A Chicago newspaper baa told bow you cau estimate the speed of a bicycle rider as be passes you. Bicyclists are required to keep within a speed of eight miles an hour lu that .?ity and the requirement is said to be irksome oa the expert riders. The po ice have learned how to tell the speed by watobiDg the pedals for a few seconds or for a second. Whenever a rid«r revolves bis p°dals once in a second you may sure be is going faster than eight miles an hour. If his bicycle is geared at 60, one revolution in a seooud is a speed at the rate of 10& miles an hour if at 03 his sprrd is a half mile faster.
A gentleman -vbo makes frequent trips iuto the surrouiuifag axncultural country says there is a o§cided indiua tlon of better times with the farmer. Tbo work of repair to farm buildings and fences is seen on all sides. The crop ptospects are the best and the promise is for better prioes than the farmers have received for their products in several years. Wheat is now sellibg in wagon lots at a higher figure than in fourortive years. The industrial outlook is also good aAd the best judme* SHV there is now a po^itiva Indication permanent improvement. One genu** man whone business depend* altogether on the prosperity of industrial enterprises, says there is even|a slightdanger that the revival will come too rapidly and with too much of the boom spirit. He thought possibly there might be a too precipitate effort to get all the benefit of a revival at opce with the result that the return of prosperity would be impeded. One of the best indicators of the business and industrial activity is to be found in the telegraph offices. In both the Western Union and Pootal offices here the business has been increasing rapidly in the pun. ten d\cs or two weeks.
The base ball league now seems to be established on a good and strong basin with excellent prospects for g-i"g through the scheduled seasoti. Usually it has been the case with the minor leagues to live until after the big attend ance on the Fourth of July].and then give up the ghost. This league has been organized on safe business principles and while first class sport may be expected there will be no foolish rivalry involving too heivy an outlay.
There is a new movement toward a consolidation of the gas interests but just what steps are to be taken those Interested do not Mil. It i* said the two oorapiinies have lost $200,000 In the past seven ywars and the holders are tired of the experience. The attempt to consolidate the two companies has been made at different times for two years but there has alwav* been some) obsta cle. For a time a Philadelphia stock holder of the old company {objected and as under the law the unanitnons consent of the stockholders must be secured thai effort was abandoned. Last year the old company's stockholders werelready when a new objector wasjfoundjin the Citizen's company. He put his objection in the shape of ad emand for a big price for his stock. His fellow, stock holders have labored in vain witfeJihlm'bot he w«. resolute. It in thought the new movement will be some teindofa proceeding in the courts, perhaps'the appointment of a receiver. The Con* turner's company which was Incorporated at the time the first consolidation scheme was on foot and which secured subscribers for the service, has not? been heard from In a long time, but probably It will bob up as soon as there ls]a prospect for higher prioed gas. It was understood at the time the company was formed and subscribers secured that there would be no effbrt to establish a plant unless the price was plased above 50 cents by the consolidated company. That the price will be higher than that amount If there Is a consolidation is undoubtedly true because that Is the^price the old company la now charging.
The trustees of Ooatea college estimate that with the debt paid they will have a property considered for college purposes to be worth «100,000. There are thirteen acres of ground whloh is constantly appreciating in value. The work of raising the |50,000 to lift the debt has been about completed and the Board of Aid for Colleges of the Presbyterian church has loaned $10,000 to meet pressing obligations until the subscription money Is collected. A member of the board said that In the past seven years Mr. W. R. McKeen had given more than $20,000 to the college. He has taken great Interest In the Institution and takes pleasure in
giving It money. Th® past year the ool lege has been self-sustaining, not count ing the interest on the debtaod la confidently believed that from this time on there will be no aoopmuUting debt. The standing of the oollege as a high class educational institution for worqen is of the best and it now ranks with the highest order of these special colleges
"f Florence Nightingale
On the 15th day of May Florence Nightingale celebrates her seventy-fifth birthday—as great a woman and as great a public benefactor and as mu?h at a heroine as she was 40 years ago, when she went forth from her comfortable home in England, not as a mere nurse to attend to the wants of the wounded and dying British soldiers in the Crimea, but as a fearless organizer of great field hospital system, which the British war office authorities, staff offl cers and generals had looked upon as a mere matter of afterthought in the preliminary arrangements of oiie of the most difficult campaigns in the history of the civilized world, writes Fitz Boy Gardner in a sketch of "Florence Nightingale at Seventy-five" in The Ladies' Home Journal.
No one had thought of the physical sufferings which would have to be un dergone by the brave soldiers who were sent out with the prospect of along winter campaign before them, without any adequate hosp tal arrangements having been made. Y.'hen the great mistake was realized, it waa a woman who came for wa|(l to rectify the terrible blunder, and it cosily be imagined that obstacles were thrown in her way. But publio opinion was soon aroused, and when Miss Florence Nightingale arrived at the Crimea with her band of nurses she had t^fs whole British people at her back.
other's Rights In Colorado. eeting of the home department Oman's club held early in the there was a discussion, led by rriugton, of the Colorado laws to women. The blood in the
At
of the1 club Miss relating veins of the mothers present was made to boil or congeal, according to difference in temperament, by the discovery that in Colorado a mother was given no legal right to her children, of which the father was considered sole guardian. The indignation resulting from the discussion of such manifest injustice was relieved when Senator Hartzell introduced a bill into the legislature to amend the statutes pertaining to guardianship
tof
children so that the mother should be the joint guardian of her children with her husband. Be it said to the honor of the tenth general assembly the bill passed without a disseiiting vote.—Denver News.
Her Dress Was Conspicuous. You would not suppose that a costume entirely of black relieved by a few violets would be conspicuous, yet it attracted more attention than any other toilet seen in the course of a long morning's outing for this season. The young woman who wore it was dressed in widow's weeds, heavily draped in crape from head to foot Her bonnet, from which depended a long crape veil, was adorned with two bonnets of bright purple violets, one over each temple, and her neck was encircled by one of the deep bands known as flower collars, of the same blossoms. The effect was fairly garish, and every woman in the car and most of the men looked at her with "wonder and amaze," which, it is to be feared, she mistook for admiration.—Philadelphia Press.
Mrs. Ada D. Davidson.
Mrs. Ada D. Davidson, retiring president of the National Science Club For Women of Washington, has devoted her time during the past year to geological excursions, spending last summer in Europe. At the annual meeting of the club last January she described the Giant'a causeway, the White cliffs of Dover, the Alps, the Mer de Glace, Mount Vesuvius and other points of interest She has recently found traoes of glacial action along the line of the new drainage canal southwest of Chicago.

Very Dainty.
An exceedingly stylish frock worn by a distinguished looking blond at ft recent tea was of black silk crepon. The neck was odd, but graceful, being made without a collar, but gored so as to fit perfectly and curved up so as to reach as high as a collar could possibly go. There it was finished with a full ruche of black jetted lace, out of which the blond head aroee like a flower. Over the shoulders were two white moire tabs, covered with tan embroidered pattern in black jet— Boston Courier.

FOE LITTLE FOLKS.
A FIVE-YEAR-OLD POLF.
She Has Never learned a Line of verse, bat Composes It Cleverly. There is a Hoboken tot who will j&ne day shine among th» women poetfc of the land if her precociousuesa $»e present time counts for anything, tie Walker is the little girl's uqgd all day long, from the time t^afrher blue eyes peer laaily from ba^ind long brown laaheB«j^,Jhomomentwi the sandman comes scattering his sli ber potions, Gertie is busy rhymes—not mere ohildish »oi mind you, but good, sensible r]
about the things she sees about her—the sky, a dog, a trolley oar, a ferryboat— everything that goes t§ make up her
The gift for versifying oam^to Gertie quite naturally, and some of her simple childish stanzas put on paper make very pretty reading. Indeed you would never suspect that the verses were made and originated by a mere babe of five short summers. You sefe, little Gertie has never learned how to'^yreftd and? could therefore never know just what poet% means. S
Just the same she gcis on making h$r rhymes almost always in perfect time and always about the beautiful objects of natura At no time is the bright little damsel more happy than at nightfall, when she sits in her tiny rocker and builds air castles of verse to the amusement of those who are listening to her. We may all hear from this tot over in Hoboken some daajj—New York Recorder. ,^P
A Brave Little Bugler.
Every war brings out stories of heroism that last long after many other incidents of the conflict are forgotten. Boyish bravery in the heat and smoke of battle in particular is always told of and seems to have more distinction than that of the older soldier, who is trained to do his duty under all circumstano From the Japan-China war has com story of a brave little bugler that is like ly to be told over and over again. It was on one of the battlefields, which were not frequent in that war, when the Japanese troops were somewhat panic stricken and were retreating before the Chinese, that the little bulger was mortally wounded. I *v
Strioken and dying as he was, the brave lad did not forget his duty. He saw the troops flying and knew that the Chinese were gaining a victory. With splendid courage he1 raised himself, and grasping his bugle sounded aloud and stirring "charge." The troops heard and rallied under its message, charged valiantly in obedience to it, and the day was theirs. But the little bugler had died as they fought and did not even know that his effort had been successful His comrades knew, however, what he had done, and they bore him from the field in triumph, and already the "uta," a poem of honor, has been written in his memory, while his mother has arrayed herself in robes of state and honor, and wound her hair with flowers, the proudest woman in the empire, that her only son should have thus distinguished himself.—New York Times.

Little Ben lives in a new house, one of the most modern of modern houses, where light, water, heat and other things are all to be had by tuning a knob or touching a bell He lives in a state of perpetual marvel over these things, and the other night when suffering from a headache the little fellow said to his mother, who sat beside him: "Please turn cm the dark, mother.

I4ttle Alice's Good Night,
Little Alice never liked to go to bed. She made many excuses for this dislike. One night she was fussing a little as usual "Oh, mamma," she said, "Ifeel so lonesome ^Suppose," said mamma, "yon think about the pretty, bright stars. They are shining so brightly. There is one almost opposite your window, just oyer the roof of papa's office." "Let me see," cried Alice, running to the window. "Mamma, I am going to choose that brightest one for my owu.'' "Very well, dear," said mamma.
Every nicht after this for some years before jumping into her little bed Alice went to the window, lifted the curtain and bade one star good night She had averse she used to say
Good night, little Btar. I go to my bed. I leave you to shine
While I lay down my head On njy pillow to rest Until morning light, When you will be fading
And I shall be bright.
If the nights were cloudy and Alice could not see any star, she said the verse just the same, for she thought the stars were shining somewhere behind the olouds. After this she said no more about being lonesome, but went happily to bed.—Youth's Companion.
The Clock's Face.
One of the questions that the sharp eyed boy or girl is sure to ask is, Why isn't the hour of 4 on a clock's face put IV instead of four ones, thus, IIH? The reason for it is said to be that away back in the time of Charles of France, who reigned in the latter half of the fourteenth century, when the first clock was made, its maker, Henry Vick, was commanded to bring it before the king. He did so, and the king was very well pleased with it, watching the works with much interest. But he said fin ally, "You have got the figures on the dial wrong." "I think not, your majesty replied the clockmaker. "Yes. That four should be four ones." "Surely not, your majesty," urged the man again. "Yes, it should be four ones," insisted the king. "You are wrong," once more said Vick, which made the king very angry. "I am never wrong," he cried. "Take it away and correct the mistake." The poor clockmaker could only obey, and the blunder of the king has come all the way down to us, for all clocks have been so marked ever since.
