MII.WAUKKK is to have a club of one1 egged base ball players this season. They do not expect to be very good players, however, just about scientific enough to defeat such a team as Evansville has this year.

WIM.IAM JKNNINOS BRYAN and Robert FitzHimmonn played a date against each other in Washington the other day, and the prize fighter's crowd compared with that of the defeated candidate's was as 16 to 1.

THK bill for a Greater New York was passed by the New York legislature this week over the veto of the. mayor of New York City, and when It' takes effecfc that city will hare one of the greatest municipal organizations in the world. The mayor of the n«w city will have nearly as much personal patronage at his disposal as the president of the United States.

IN O defeated China with ease in the late unpleasantness between those countries, .Japan is assuming airs that may lead her into trouble. The Hawaiian authorities prohibited the admission to that country of a large number of immigrants from Japan, and the latter government has sent, war ships to Honolulu to see that her subjects are protected. The newspapers of Japan insist that the gov eminent shall assume a stern attitude towards the United States and see that the Japanese are deprived of none of their privileges.

A IN IN N A I congressman lias appointed a negro as a cadet to Annapolis, violating all traditions in that matter, as it is said that a colored man has never attended the nation's naval school, although negroes have been students and graduates at West Point. The boy earned his preferment in competitive examination, which was open to all. and the congressman lost no time in making theappoint ment, which has created a great stir in the classic shades of Annapolis, wher^ government. spends ii great deal of money every year in making sad sea dogs out of landlubbers. The students threaten to resign in force if the appoint.ment is insisted on, and break up the school. The congressman. however, has the courage of his convictions, and declares that if the boy^js willing to put up with the slights that he will be treated to then- he shall have the place. It will be interesting to see if siiuh an appointment will break up the Annapolis school

Tin. laws enacted by the last Indiana legislature became operative at midnight Wiilnesday. by proclamation of the governor It is the earliest that tin1 laws ever b.v.une dVeclive in this state, the necessary proclamation having in several instances bivn delayed as late as June and July. The people of Indianapolis an1 especially interested in one law that took effect then, the three cent fare measure, an I they made things lvidcUy interesting for the street car men by refusing to pay more than three

cents

fare. The street

car management instructed its conductors trefuse to accept this reduced fare, but after a consultation letween Mayor Taggart and President Mason, of the street railway, the order was rescinded until a decision is reached by the courts. A hard legal tight is being made against the law. and the lest talent that can I*1 stvured is engaginl. Street car rorporati ns all over the country an1 watching this tight with interest, for it means much to them If the Indiana law win stand, the test of the courts, it may I*1 expected that similar action wil lw taken in uumerous other states

wrvoking to have attained

a «legm» «f perfection in Chicago that it will hard to rival in m*ny other communities The latest wreck is that of the Globe Saving* hank, wich was the depository of the Illinois St*u» university, ami through the stealings of the president of the wrecked bank that institution is likely to he closed at one*, owing to the lack of fundi). It has no cash on hand, and if it is enabled to run until the end of the term in June, it will be on money loaned by it* friends in

the hope of being re-imbureed by the state. Ex-governor Altgeld was responsible for the university funds being placed in the Globe bank, and at a meeting of depositors one day this week there was a demand that he be hanged by a mob. It is a little more elevated to steal a man's money by way of his bank account than to put one's hand down in his pocket and take the money from there, and the punishment as a rule is less severe, but this last failure, by its aggravated features, will be made an object lesson, in the way of punishment, to untrustworthy bankers, and many of them will doubtless be frightened into doing business with honefety and judgment.

SUNDAY

bicycle parties are not to be very

popular in Indianapolis if Rev. R. V. Hunter, formerly of this city, can prevent it. He is aggressive in his opposition to Sunda^ bicycle riding, and in an address before the Y. M. C. A. there, recently he said: "I have a wheel, and I like to ride it when the roads are not too slippery, but if that wheel is going to take me down to hell I submit to you if it would not be best for me to abandon it. The wheel in its place is a good thing—an excellent thing. But when it comes to organizing wheel parties to go out away from church fifteen or twenty miles on Sunday, not to have a good time, but to have a spree, then the wheel is a bad thing, and that is just what it is being used for to a large extent at present. In stich cases it is the instrument of making a holiday and not a holy day out of the Sabbath. It takes our youths away from the church and makes godless young people out of them. The wheel is a good thing only when used conscientiously, just as one would use his feet. I am going to try to organize in my church an anti-Sab-bath wheel club to make these runs into the country on a night in the week. Let us work to the end of having Saturday half-holidays, as we should, when we can all go out and have a good time without violation of God's holy day."

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

An Oregon girl with two suitors named Mann and Mouss decided to be a Mann. Women who wear short hair will become men in a future world, so think the Chinese.

In the hands of a real clever woman a dried prune can be made to taste as good as an orange.

There were fifty-six signers of the declaration of independence, and only three had or used a middle name. Robert Treat Paine, of Massachusetts, and Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, of Virginia.

Speaker Reed has a po'or 'opinon of the senate. After listening to one of their pooderovs discussions, the other day, he turned to one of the senators and said: "Do—y u—think—Mason—will—stay-in the—sfenate—long—enough—to—become as—dull—as—the— rest-f—you

Paris is learning how to handle a municipal franchise. It will allow a condfpany to build forty-five miles of railway through its streets at a cost of $40,000,000, the fare to vary from 2 cents to 4 cents. At the end of thirty-five years the city will take possession of the entire property without paying a cent.

The legislature of North Dakota attempted at its receut session to enact a complete new revenue law, and now it is said that by a curious oversight no provision was made in the law for the collection of state taxes assessed and levied in 181X1. A special session of the legislature may be needed to remedy the defect.

Two more eighteen-story hotels, to cost •3,000,000, are to be erected at once in New York city and the architects say they are to be the finest structures of this class in the city. It seems to be the opinion of shrewd real estate people in New York that the transient population of New York has already been vastly increased by her magnificent hotels.

When President McKinley was governor of Ohio his father was still alive. He then signed his name "Wm. McKinley, Jr." After the father died he wi bed to drop the "Jr." but as he took the oath of office as "Win. McKinley, Jr.." he decided to retain it. When he was governor for a second term his name was signed plain Wm. McKinley. Gradually the letter "m"' in "Wm." became almost a straight line, and so he decided that as president he would sign his name "William McKinley."

Prince Albert of Thurn aud Taxis is spending on clothes the fortune accumu lated by his ancestors while they held the monopoly of the post as hereditary Grand Post masters of the Holy Roman Empire. He wears a new suit, perfumed with attar of rows, every day. spending $15,000 annually on his tailor, who keeps twenty workmen constantly at work for him. He puts on a new necktie three times a day and uses up pairs of boots a year. He spends $1,000 a year on cigarettes and $75.0X) on sports. The priuce is years of age and married to an Austrian archduchess.

James Robinson, the famous bareback rider, who began his career in 1845, is still living in Mexico. Mo., with his wife. The feat which won him fame was performed in This was turning a back somer-

sault while riding backward on a running

won especial praise for his daring from the

circus ring with a fortune, and although it is nearly ten years since he appeared before the public he says that with thirty days' training he could perform with as much agility as ever.

In France the woman cyclist is called a "btcyclienne." In far away New Zealand the awful word "crclodonna" has been

of young men to coin expressions. "Your tire is punctured" indicates that the story jou are telling lacks the element of truth. A young couple sharing a mutual fondness are "riding tandem." A man leading a fast life is "geared too high." An old fogy is referred to as a "high wheel." A chaperon is known as a "peacemaker." A cheap bicycle is called a "gas pipe" machine. ______________

A SONC OF INNOCENCE.

Pretty baby, mother's pride. Fresh as roses at springtide, Dimpled bands and dimpled feet. Laughing eyes and mouth so sweet,

Pretty baby.

Winsonbe%ays and winsome wiies, Happy looks and happy smiles, Funny coos and merry crows Rippling to your tiny toes,

Pretty baby.

Mother's kiss is on your lips, Like a greedy bee she sips All about your baby mouth, Drinking sweetness without drouth.

Pretty baby.

Pretty baby, good as fair, At thetbottom of life's stair. Mother loves you, mother prays God will brighten all your days,

Pretty baby.

Proverbs of The Scorcher. A soft answer turneth away wrath, but a soft tire filleth a man with evil thoughts.

It is wise cyclometer that shows its master an extraordinary days run. As the spoke is bent, so shall the path of the bicycle deviate from the straight and narrow way.

A drop of oil in time may save many a gallon of perspiration. The bicycle hath wisdom which submitteth to the charge that it is at fault and not its master, for running no two days alike during the week.

It cannot be said of a rider that he begins in the way he should go. A bicycle can do almost anything save climb a tree.

The rider who pursueth his way with his head bowed runneth to his own destruction.

It is not meet that bicycles should greet each other with clasping of hand. Rather let them pay a formal, distant greeting one to the other.

The oil cup that goes too long uncovered will become possessed of as much grit as the rider of the bicycle thereof.

As the handle bar is bent, so shall the spinal column of the rider be inclined. It shall be said of all bicycles that their way is the way of the crank.

The man who looketh behind him in a crowded path would better be a pillar of salt.

The New Ten.

Matrimony has ten commandments. These were studied out by Theodore Parker shortly before the day of his wedding. They took the form of ten beautiful req-, olutions, which he inscribed in his journal. They are as follows: 1. Never, except for the best reasons, to oppose my wife's will. 2. To discharge »11 duties for her sake freely. 3. Never to scold. 4. Never to look cross at her. 5. Never to worry her with commands,

To promote her piety. 7. To bear her bu rdens. 8. To overlook her foibles. 9. To save, cherish and forever defend her. 10. To remember her always in my prayers. Thus, God willing, we shall be blessed.

If You Wish to be Ilappy Beware of the man of two faces. Persevere against discouragement. Take a cheerful view of everything. In all promised pleasures put self last. Trust in God and mind your own business.

Cultivate a short memory as to all unkindness. Do not talk of your private, personal or family matters.

Cultivate forbearance till your heart yields a fine crop of it. Give your tongue more holiday than your hands or your eyes.

Act as if you expected to live a hundred years, but might die to-morrow. Compare your manifold blessings with the trifling annoyances of each day.

Do the duty thaf lies nearest: the second duty will already have become clearer. Be content to do the things you can, and fret not because you cannot do everything.

Never reply in kind to.a sharp or angry word it is the second word that makes the quarrel. nvu»iw.

Make the best of what you have, and do not make yourself miserable by wishing for what you have not.

AMUSEMENTS.

When will the time come when "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will lose its charm to the rising generation? Judging by its present freshness, its alluring powers will be per ennial. There is something in the skillful combination of the pathetic and the humorous that never fails to fascinate and the story that it tells of the suffering of

the

horse. He did the same trick afterwanl flnegt sensibilitiwof thefanmansonl. Such before half the sovereigns of Europe, and jays

coined us a substitute for wheelwoman. In and fall of one of the greatest iniquities many towns in the west of the United States the fair rider is called a "bloomer** without regard to her costume. The word "scorcher/' as indicating a speedy 'cyclist, is fairly engrafted upon the language. In Chicago, however, the "scorcher" L* called a "scoot." The technicalities of the machine hare led to attempts upon the part
