Revolution by the Wheel.
No one could have forseen, a few
years ago, the wide-reaching effect of
the bicycle. It has proved one of the
inventions that make revolutions. The
change it has brought aboutgin the’
habits of thousands of men and women
is itself alm‘ost revolutionary. The
most sedentary person, once mounted
on a wheel, becomes a votary of out-
Vdoor exercise, and to women especially,
*the bicycle has opened possibilities of
“recreation and enjoyment hitherto im-
«possible.
This has wrought a change in the
'apopular pursuits and diversions. All
«sorts of indoor entertainments now
yield, in fine weather, to a trip awheel.
‘On the other hand, the bicycle clubs,
"are a new institution of growing import-
ance and the number of people for
whom the wheelmen have made employ-
-:ment must be enormous.
The manufacturing of the machines
”'vhas suddenly become one of the great
z—industries of the day. Not only have
tlarge workshops been built for the pur-
pose, but the sewing machine factories,
the typewriter factories, even the watch
factories have been turned to making
bicycles. Places for their sale are mul-
titiplying even more rapidly than beer
~Bhops. Where other trades have failed
\ the cycle trade flourishes, and there is
no indication yet that the business is
overdone.
When everybody has been supplied
"With a wheel, the demand will naturally
slacken; but that will take a long time
and some other invention may then come
along into which the surplus energy
may be diverted. And until everybody
is mounted, or a still more seductive
mode of motion has been devised, the
bicycle is plainly destined to carry all
before it, changing the habits and pur-
suits, the industries and the amuse-
~ments, even the manners of the people,
and what at first was regarded only as
.a toy has proved an instrument of social
revolution. ‘
WEDDING BELLS.
The Camp--Morrell Nuptials at Hartford,
Last Evening.
A beautiful wedding occurred at the
{home of Mr. and Mrs; Daniel Morrell
at the corner of Garden and Myrtle
‘ streets, Hartford, last evening, the
bride being their eldest daughter,
Susan Morrell, and the groom Jonathan
«Camp, son of Mrs. Frances J. Camp of
>~this city:
'I he house waslavishly decorated with
lilies, carnations, smilax, Canterbury
bells and potted plants, presenting a
charming floral picture and filling the
rooms with fragrance. The ceremony,
performed by the Rev. Joseph H.
Twichell, was in the reception room,
“the bridal party standing in front of
the large bow window, which was also
--banked with potted plants.
The bride’s gown was of ivory white
satin, cut en train, trimmed with point
lace and chiffon. Her veil was fastened
with a diamond and pearl pendant. and
she carried a white prayer book in
which was tied lilies of the valley. The
imaid of honor, Miss Florence L. Mor-
srell, only sister of the bride, wore a
crown of pale green satin, with trim-
ming of green chiffon. The brides-
maids, Miss Curtis of Troy, Miss Inez
Kseler of Norwalk, Miss Osborne of
Brooklyn and Miss Northam of Hart-
'ford, wore gowns of white brocaded
silk, striped with pale green and
trimmed with green chiffon. All car-
..ricd loose bcquets of lilies of the valley
and mignonette. The best man was the
~bride’s brother, David S. Morrell, and
the ushers Were John and De Witt Mor-
. tell, brothers of the bride, Richardson
Thurston, a classmate of the groom,
~ and John C. Chapman. ~
After the ceremony there was alarge-
~ly attended full dress reception, lasting
. .until 9 o’clock. At 10 o’clock supper
was served for the bridal party, in the
library, and lunch was served in the
Mdining room during the reception. The
house, with its broad veranda, was
brilliantly illuminated. There was
-continuous music by Emmons’s Orches-
tra. The floral decorations were by R.
sG. Hanfordof this city, and Habenstein
neutered. '
Mr. Camp for the past two years has
-"- been connected with the Perkins Elec-
. trio Switch Company in Hartford, and
is now representing that company in
i-Boston. -

with his hands .in his pockets and when
the car rounded the curve “going at
the rate of 18 miles an hour,” he had
not felt the slightest swaying of the car.
After the defense placed Mrs. Mary
Guider on the stand, who further cor-
roborated Mott’s story of the accident,
the case was adjourned Judge Hall say-
ing that he would visit the spot this
morning.
The Judge arrived on the 10 o’clock
train, this morning, accompanied by
Judge DeForest. . Tramway car No. 17
was in waiting at the corner of South
Main and Monroe streets which the
party boarded and were taken to the
car barn where our No. 7’was inspected,
it having gone out of service. The sign
referred to was on the window in what
appeared to the counsel for Mumford
as nice fresh paint, and it was also
painted so as to be read by the passen-
gers in the car, those standing on the
outside being required to puzzle it out
by reading it backwards.
After the inspection the party were
taken to the scene of the accident at
Rowayton where Judge Hall made a
careful inspectibu of the curve and
premises. Upon request of Attorney
Walsh the party reentered the car and
it was run over the curve at what was
purported to be the highest speed. A
start was made not over 150 yards from
the curve and the power turned on full.
The car made the distance in 33% sec-
onds and as it rounded the curve a
lurch was experienced, the force of
which was sufficient to shut the front
car door, which stood open.
The time required for car No 17 to
travel 450 feet would indicate that it
was usually slow, which may account for
Judge Hall saying that “he never rode
so slow before on an electric car.”
On the return to South Norwalk the
Judge and Attorneys took the 11:06
train for Bridgeport where the argu-
ments were heard and the decision re-
served.
Stole the Bait.
George Wendling came over from
Bridgeport, yesterday, and in company
with James Haulinthefish Hoyt went
after trout. Having more bait than
they could conveniently carry, it was
placed under the cooling shade of some
wild shrubbery. The disciples of Isaak
Walton fished and fished but without
much luck, and concludedto return to
the point where the bait had been de-
posited. George reached under the
bush for it. With a look that Would
killa worm he turned to Henry and
exclaimed, “Mein Gott, Henry, we are
lost, the baid vas gone cud.” A further
and a thorough search developed the
truth of the exclamation, and the two
fishermen, slowly, and with downcast
eyes returned home.
New Lessee of the Opera House.
The Norwalk Opera House has been

Chief Engineer J. T. Prowitt will
strongly object to the ending of the

Mr. Wilmot Fawcett was take it sud-

they’ll drift on us.’ Then the officer of
the deck yelled. When he yelled, he
says: ‘I‘hc man at the helm threw his
rudder in just the opposite direction
from that which he should, and made
the collision certain.’ ,
“For myself I can see no excuse for
the collision. The night was bright,
and any one with a knowledge of steer-
ing, should have cleared the Columbia. ”

CHASED' BY AN ELEPHANT.
Miraculous Escape of» a Hunter In the In-
, dlan Jungle.
, The . author of “Gun, Rifle and
Hound” narrates an adventure which
befell him and two companions, “Will”
and “F——,” in Ceylon. “One of the
most miraculous escapes ever known in‘
elephant-shooting,” he calls it.
it should be said, was a. famous killer
of elephants, and had brought with
him a. native tracker well used to the
business; “a. little wizened-up creature,
but absolutely fearless.” They were in
search of a notorious rogue elephant,
which had killed so many men and
done so much other mischief that the
government had put a. reward of fifty
dollars upon his head. ‘
We started early in the morning, and
were soon on the fresh tracks of the
brute. He was evidently moving pretty
fast. The tracker followed the trail
almost at a trot, and it was rather hot
work keeping him in sight. At last it
was obvious that we were close upon
the elephant, which was heading more
and more into the thickest jungle.
“Nasty. dangerous brute,” whispered
F—; “we shall hear him before we
see him.” ‘
' A minute or two more and the track-
er stopped and pointed to a branch
which was still oscillating violently.
The elephant could not be a minute
ahead of us. We all stopped and
looked intently among the thick trees.
With a. scream of rage the rogue
crashed out at us. We all fired. I think.
The tracker ran toward Will, the ele-
phant close after him. Will fired again,
and turned to run. The tracker had
slipped out of the way. F——-, and I
ran after the elephant, reloading as we
ran. He was gaining rapidly on on
poor friend. ,
“Round a treel” shouted F——,
“round a tree!” Will made for the
nearest one, the elephant ' not two
lengths behind him, and we still forty
yards behind.
To our horror we saw Will catch his
foot in something and go down at full
length. F— groaned with despair,
and dropping on my knee I fired two
baarels uselessly into the brute’s hind-
quarters.
Then came the miracle. Whether the
blood from half a dozen wounds had
blinded the elephant, or Will’s sudden
disappearance into the long grass had
deceived him, I cannot say, but. half
stopping, he turned and made off into
the jungle, where we lost him, after
following him for hours.
DWARFING DOGS.
Taken from Their Mothers in Infancy
They Are Bush to Lilliputian Size.
Specialists and doctors who take an
interest in the progress of alcoholism,
its injurious action on generation and
the part it plays in degeneracy will be
glad to add another branch to their
study in the shape of the falsification
of dogs, says the New York World.
For falsification of dogs exists in Paris
and thrives, just as well as the imitators
of Japan ware, old furniture and pic-
tures of Corot, Terriers-and Rubens. Ask
for a bottle of Chartreuse in any grocery
store of Paris and you will be served
with a bottle of Charmeuse, and as to
truffles, diamonds, champagne and cof-
fee, imitators of these have obtained
too lofty a station for them to care for
criticism of their products. -
It was generally supposed that the
animal reign had not yet been tam-
pered with, so that most persons will
be surprised that the French have re-
cently discovered a method of produc-
ing tiny dogs, which, when offered for
sale on the boulevards or in the Bois de
Boulogne, fetch good prices on account
of their rarity. Like all other callings,
competition is about to cut down the
profits of the originators of the idea
and next summer visitors are promised
any number of lilliputian dogs at an
insignificant price. - . . .. s"-
This is how the diminutive animal is
produced: Snatched from its mother’s
breast when it is but a few hours old,
it is put on an alcoholic diet instead of
a lacteul diet. When it reaches a cer-
tain age alcohol under different form
constitutes almost the sole diet of the
animal. The young dogs do not die,
but, What is far more important, they
do not develop and appear to be wast-
ing away continually. They soon cease
to grow entirely. By coupling these
products the lilliputiau animal is ob—
tained after two or three generations.
'What a terrible lesson for drunkards
and absinthe consumers!
QUEER USE OF A CIGAR.
Story Which Shows a Sea Captain’s Pres-
ence of Mind.
‘ A good story is tOld of a, sea captain
who died not long ago and who was
formerly in command of aship in which
passengers were carried from “London
to Lisbon. On one occasion, says Tit-
Bits, the ship caught fire and the pas-
sengers and crew were compelled to
take hurriedly to the boats. The cap-
tain remained perfectly cool through-
out all the confusion and fright of the
debarkation, and at last everyone ex-
cept himself was got safely into the
boats.
By the time he was ready to follow
the passengers were almost wild with
fear and excitement. Instead of hur-
rying down the ladder the captain
called out to the sailors to hold on a
minute, and, taking a, cigar from his
pocket, coolly lighted it with a bit of
burning rope which had fallen from
the rigging at his feet. Then he de-
scended with deliberation and gave the
order to push off. ~
“How could you stop to light a cigar
at such a moment?” he was asked after-
ward, when some of the passengers
were talking over their escape.
“Because,” he answered, “I saw that
if I did not do something to divert the
minds of those in the boat there was
likely to be a. panic, and overcrowded
as it was, there was danger of the
boat being upset. The act took but a.
moment, but it attracted the attention
of everybody. I was not nearly so un-
concerned as I seemed to be, but was
in reality in a fever of excitement.
My little plan succeeded. You all for-
got yourselves because you were think-
ing of my curious behavior. and we got
ofif safely.“ ' - '

WHERE BIG GAME ISAPLE‘NTYL “
How a. Hunter Found Himself Face 2“
’ Face with Two Big Lions. . 9.
In “Lion Hunting in Somaliland,”
Capt. C. J. Melliss tells how he first
found himself face to face with two
full-grown lions. He started from Ber-
bera. for the Hand with tencamels, a.
dozen Somalis, two donkeys, a. pony
and two months’ provisions. ' '
The game on the route were gazelle,
aptelopes, guinea. fowl and bustards,
and at night jackals and hyenas.
Shortly after reaching the Hand, which 4
is a. great waterless plateau, he met the
two lions, “actually waiting for me,"
he writes, “all to myself; a. vast plain
on all sides, clear of jungle as a. lawn,
not another bush even in sight.
“I was going to get them, or they
get me. That Was the only uncertainty
in the whole thing.”
He goes on to say that what struck
him most forcibly on seeing- a wild lion
for the first time was that there was
none of that slim, weak appearance in
the hind quarters which is so visible in ‘
caged lions.
Capt. Melliss used a. much heavier
charge than Mr. Salons, and seems to
have had little difficulty in disabling a.
lion with a. well-aimed shot. When he
had killed them. the lions were skinned
and the hides tied behind two'horse-
men.
He describes vividly his delight after
his first day’s shooting. “I shall never
forget the pleasure of it,” he says.
“What a paradise the country seemed
as my eyes wandered from the two
great heads at the cruppers to the wild
herds scattered over the plain.”
In four days he shot no less than five
lions ' and eight lionesses and captured
four cubs.
Capt. Melliss usually rode up and dis-
mounted to shoot, but a much more
exciting way, which he occasionally
experienced, was to track the lion’s
spoor and follow him into the jungle
on foot.
