Death In the Bicycle.
The shocking accident which resulted
in the death of that well-known New
York clubman, Robert Center, the
other day, has led to a very animated
revival of the controversy concerning
bicycles. Mr. Center was thrown from
his wheel and run over by a heavily
laden coal wagon. The pole first struck
him, knocking him off his wheel, and
then the vehicle passed over him as he
lay upon the ground, crushing his head
and his breast and causing death prac-
. tically at once. It now transpires, as
indeed the circumstances of the case
suggested in the first instance, that Mr.
Center was riding in the racing posi-
tion, that is to say with his head thrust
forward and his body almost parallel
with the ground. Riding in this posi-
tion he of course could not see ahead
of him, and so, when the coal wagon
turned suddenly in his direction, pre-
sumably to get out of the way of a
street car, Mr. Center dashed into it
before he could possibly check his head-
way. Evidently the pole struck and
stunned him and theiwheels were upon
him in an intact.
It is a fact that fast and reckless bi-
cycle- riding, especially in what is call-
ed “the racing position ” is a practice
that should be suppressed and prompt
ly so far as concerns our streets and
public thoroughfares. If all the harm-
ful consequences fell upon the riders
themselves, the general public might
contemplate the situation with a reason—
able amount of fortitude, but they do
not. For every wheelman that gets
hurt, at least a dozen pedestrians are
wounded, maimed or killed. As a rule,
drivers who see them coming, with
heads thrust'forward and eyes bent upon
the ground, try to get out of their way.
They, on the contrary, seeing nothing
and t) often caring nothing, dash
straight ahead, noiselessly and at a ter-
rific speed. And, as we know, the re-
sult is a long list of shocking and cle-
plorable casuality to innocent pe0ple.
The practice should be abated.
Enough harm has come of it i Let us
see if we cannot reduce the record of
disaster. The riders may not see fit to
take’ care of themselves—let the author-
ities, then, take care of the rest of the
community.
imported Ruins.
This country has long staggered un-
der the weight of the sweeping accusa-
tion that it has no ruins. But what do
we want of home-made ruins when we
can import from countries which have
been in the ruiuation business for cen-
turies. everything in that line that is
m cessary to our comfort?
Cornelius Vanderbilt is having a new
mantel and fireplace at his house in
Newport erected at a cost of $75,000, be
having money to burn. The terra cotta
used in the construction of these inter-
ior luxuries is taken from the ruins of
an old Roman villa at Prompeii. '
There is norhing that can give greater
stability to an American family of
wealth than the vauisition of relics of
this character. Toasting one’s toes at
a Pompeiian fireplace tends to stimu-
late that love for the remote past upon
which all patrician families must base
their sense of superiority. The mom
recent the attainment of wealth and
Sicial ambition, the greater is the ne-
cessity for the collection of Old World
antiquities that give to a modern man-
sion an atmosphere of time-honored
glory.
As soon as the new crop of million
airebin this country shall fully realize
the desirability 'of possessing the flot-
sam and jetsam of former ages the
market value of European antiques will
go up with a bound. Just reflect how
much it would add to Brother Maples’
importance if he could purchase in
Hawaii a puir of Queen Lil’s old slip-
pers in which to write railroad edi-i

Fifth Anniversary.
The King’s Daughters of the First
Congregational church celebrated their
fifth anniversary in the chapel, last
evening. The room was beautifully
decorated with flowers and plants, and
chocolate and cake were served from
small tables, presided over by ladies
belonging to the different circles, each
table being made most attractive with
dainty china and flowers. After a de-
lightful social time, Mrs. I‘. K. Noble,
the president, made a short address
which was followed by the reading of
reports from the various circles, in-
cluding the Inasmuch, the Forget-me-
not, the Doorkeepers, the Ministering,
the Thoughtful, the last named com-
posed of the youngest members, the
Busy Bees and others. Each circle re-
ported much work accomplished and
many acts of kindness done. The
Ministering circle reported having
made 3,488 calls during the five years.
After the reading of the reports, Rev.
Dr. Noble said a few words of welcome
to the circles, and spoke feelingly of
the noble work that had been done by
their efforts and zeal, and of the com-
fort aud cheer they had carried into
many homes, causing all to hope that
in the future the Daughters might be
enabled to do much more good in “His
Name.” A hymn was then sung after
which a short time was spent socially.
Thus ended the fifth anniversary of the
King’s Daughter, and the occasion will
long be remembered with all its bright-
ness and cheer encouragement for still
better work in the year upon which
they have now entered.
A Card.
The thanks of the family are hereby
smost {sincerely extended to the friends
who so kindly gave expression to their
sympathy in various tender ways; to
the pall-bearers and others, who aided
at the funeral, and to one and all, who
by word or deed, endeavored to lessen
the burden of grief of the bereaved
ones. FRANK SELLECK.

The rumor of the death of the veter-

two weeks ago he died. Gillespie is an
old time prizefighter and the hero of
