FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1898.
EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG

THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.

 

 

I often wonder if those persons who
object to bicycle riding ever stop to
consider what good the wheel has done
for the boys.

I remember not many years ago when
several billiard parlors with numerous
tables were in full blast right here in
Norwalk.

Every night they were crowded with,
young boys who were just taking the
first step towards sewing their wild oats.

The proprietors made money and
many of them oifered prizes and other
inducements to draw the young men to
their parlors.

All of this was before the advent of
the silent who 31.

Things are different now. The boys
can be found nearly every fine even-
ing enjoying a ride on their wheels,
either with some chum or some pretty
rider of the gentler sex.

The result of this new fad, if wheel-
ing may be called a fad, has closed
nearly every billiard parlor in town.
Not one of them is now in successful
operation.

Then. too, those saloons where bill-
iard tables once drew the young at
night have become obsolete. The tables
have gone and the young men seek a
ride on their wheels nights rather
than spend them among convivial com-
panions.

Another point in favor of the biCyclc
is the absence of yohng men from the
street corners at night.

There was a time when large crowds
of young men could be found every
evening standing on the corners or in
front of some store.

You may visit the Bridge almost any
evening now and note theuabsence of
these youngsters.

If you are interested in their where-
abouts take a ride down East or West
avenues and you will find hundreds of
them enjoying a ride on their wheels.

The bicycle has come to stay, and the
more the boys and girls are encouraged
in riding, the better will they become
both in body and in mind.

Elocution not only teaches one to
read well, but it gives confidence, clear
and correct pronunciation, a pleasing
voice and an easy manner.

The oyster is not the only thing in
a stew just now.

To have the right idea at the right
time is to be possessed of genius.

The daintiest conceit in writing paper
seen for some time is of the 'Wedgewood
pattern.

The poorer the individual the more
extravagant is he generally in his ex-
penditure of time.

It is high time that the high boot
supplanted the low shoe, but what we-
man will admit it.

’Tis only the person who has never
been treated in a hospital who has any

the top of the cone is cut off, making
an opening in the trap. The top of
the trap has over it a metal cap on a
hinge. The cap is perforated with a
number of holes to permit of the circu-
lation of water through the trap.

The minnow trap is slung horizon-
tally in a wire holder, which has a
handle on top to which a rope is made

fast. Suitable bait to attract minnow; 3

ABOUT 3331303 CAMP

Committee of War Commission
Submits a Report.

THEY FIND N0 FAULT

Report of the Sub Committee of the Com-
mlosion on the Florida Camp. The
Committee “’as Favorably Impressed
With the Site.

Jacksonville, Fla.. Oct. 21.-Gen. J.

WVilson and Capt. Howell, constituting

the sub-committee appointed to visit
and report upon the conditions at
Camp Cuba Libre, made their report to
the full commission yesterday. The
following is the important part of the
document:

“We carefully examined the site of
the camp of. the Third Pennsylvania
Volunteers, which it has been reported
was a trtopical jungle, on worthless
land until cleared, and upon clearing
which the troops are said to have
worked like slaves until it was fit for
a camp site. While your committee
cannot state the condition of this land
when the troops arrived, it found no

' appearance of a tropical Jungle in the

vicinity. There were no evidences of
there having been serious work in pre-
paring the camps, although, as is usu-
al, there were small bushes, vines, and
low palms here and there over the
cap sites and adjacent land.

"Altogether the committee was most
favorably impressed with the charac-
ter of the site selected. We visited
and obtained from the County Clerk of
Nassau county, Fla... Mr. George E.
Wolff, a map showing the lands occu-
pied by the troops, and his official
certificate as to the ownership of the
land. This certificate states that the
greater part of the lands occupied re-
verted to the state of Florida in June,
1897, by reason of unpaid taxes, and
that no one by the name of Alger ever
controlled any lands in the county of
Nassau, as shown by the records, and
that the land occupied by the Third
Pennsylvania VOlunteers at Fernan-
dina as a camp was at the time the
property of the state of Florida.

“The water was piped without ex-
penditure to the camp from Fernandi-
na, being from an artesian well about
60 feet deep, the supply was unlimited.

The water had a. slight sulphur taste,_

which it is said some of the troops dis-
liked, and occasionally used surface
water. The locations of the hospitals
pointed out to us, were on high ground
well drained, and apparently well se-
lected. The Mayor of Fernandina. in-
formed us that Major endley, the sur-
geon in charge of. the camp, had stated
to him just before the troops left, that
the number of sick was 540.

“Your committee, therefore, has the
honor to report that, in its opinion,
the camp was well selected; that prob-
ably the site was equal in all respects
to any other that could have been
found on the Florida coast. That from
the information it obtained, and what
it saw, it was far from being a tropical
jungle, and that the. certificate of the
county clerk indicates that no govern-
ment official was interested in the
land; that the amount of work done in
clearing the underbrush was no greater
than might have.been expected at al-
most any locality ln the south. select-
ed for camping purposes; that the site
was well draincd, the water for drink—
ing and cooking purposes good. and
the bathing facilities at the sea beach
excellent.”

.Killed by '4 Chinese lIIol),

Paris, October 21.3-At the cabinet
meeting yesterday the minister of for-
eign affairs, M. Delcasse, read a dis-
patch from the French minister at Pe—
kin, M. Gerard, announcing that a
French missionary and several Chinese
Catholics have been massacred or
burned to death in a chapel at Pak-
lung, in the south of China, by a riot—
ous mob. M. Gerard immediately de-
manded reparation from the Chinese
government, including pecuniary com--
pensation.

M. Delcasse instructed M. Gerard to
inform the Chinese foreign Office that
the French government will take ac—
tion if China does not adopt measures
absolutely guaranteeing the lives of
the missionaries.

 

San Juan Comxniss-nn’s Goodbye.

San' Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 21.—
Judgc Advocate Hunter has inducted
into office five native Supreme Court
Justices. The scene as the natrualiza-
tion oath was administered to them
was impressive. The new justices ap-
pear to be very intelligent men, with
a thorough understanding of their du-
ties.

The American and Spanish commit-

tees met jointly for the purpose of ex- ,
'chang’ing farewells and adjourned.

Yellow Fever Refugee Dead,

Warren, 0., Oct. 21.—Miss Beck, who
recently came here from Mississippi to
escape yellow fever, died yesterday.
Her death is believed to have been
caused by yellow fever. There was a
severe frost throughout this section
last evening and there appears to be
no danger of the disease spreading.

 

Harold Frederick Death,

London, October 21.—The remains of
Harold Frederic, the newspaper corrc-
spondent and author, will be cremated
at Waking cemetery. It has been
learned that Mr. Frederic has been in
the hands of Christian Scientists and

that a. doctor was only summoned to ~-

attend him a few days ago.

 

Russian Fugitive Arrested.

Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 21.—“-Ivan
Kraus, an officer of the Russian army
at Port Arthur, China, who arrived
here on board the steamship Empress
of Japan as a Stowaway, has been ar-
rested. Kraus was discovered making
maps and plans of the fortifications at
Port Arthur and fled.

British Warship Launched.

London, Oct. 21.—The third-class
cruiser Prometheus was successfully
launched from the dockyards at Hull
yesterday, with all of her machinery
aboard. She is a. vessel of 2,135 tons
and 7,000 indicated horse-power and

,will carry eight guns. '

About Precious Stones.

A remarkable fact has been dis
covered. The colors of precious stones
.are not permanent in the light. To
give a chemical and physical expla-
nation of this is difficult; for, al-
though chemical reunions in solid bod-
ies have been proved, one would not
presume them to occur in the exceed-
ingly hard minerals concerned. A
ruby, which had been left for two
years in a light - show window, was
found to be considerably lighter after
this time had elapsed than a stone,
previously of exactly the same color,
which had been kept in the dark. Sim-
liar results were observed with em-
eralds and son hires. Still more has-
ty than with case valuable colored
gems is the action of light on the less
expensive stones. Garnet and topaz

and dull, while the latter only turns
