LATEST cox-es FROM THE. STAGE.
Cute Quip: that Are Doing Duty in Metro-
politan Theatres. '
It is a fact that brighter and fun-
nier things are said by actors off the
stage than when they utter the lines
written by some one else. Take Mau-
rice Barrymore, for instance. He was
talking to two friends about the ben-
efit to be given at the Academy of
Music. One said: “Say, Barry, what
is the Actors’ Order of Friendship ?”"
“Two beers,” replied Barry.
'At the Lambs’ Club the other night
' Dixey told a new story about Stetson.
He had engaged a song and dance
man who was fearfully bad. “The
artist” was just making his exit, sing-
ing the last bars of “Where Are the
Friends of My Youth?” when Stetson,
who was standing in the wings, said:
“Take the rest of the week and find
them.”
George Fuller Golden, at Keith’s,
tells of the man who was sent in haste
for the doctor to attend his mother-in-
law. “She’s at death’s door, doctor,”
said he, “and I’m afraid you can’t
pull her through.”
.John Kernell says he called on a
friend, and was treated to the most
delicious sausage he ever ate. “I
asked him where he got them,,and he
gave me a pointer.”
There are many new jokes in the re-
vised “Evangeline” at the Garden
Theatre. Fred Solomon at one stage
of the play announces that he will re-
cite a poem composed by himself.
Striking an heroic attitude, he do
clares:
“Mary had a little calf,
So she couldn’t put on bloomers.”
Another version of the prevalent po-
litical joke is heard in the same bur-
lesque. Bigelow, made up as David
B. Hill, announces that he must take
the 12:44 train to Albany.

EXPERTS BELIEVE IT WILL BE THE
WHEEL OF THE FUTURE.
Arguments in Favor of the New-{angled
Gear Show that it is Superior in Many
\Vays to the Chain and Sprocket—Man-
ufactured in France Principally.
Experiments with the chainless bi-
‘cycle have been in progress for the
past twelve months in this country,
with the result that a machine of this
kind is now manufactured in France,
and several firms in this country have
expressed their intention of placing
wheels similar in construction on the
American market‘next spring. The in-
\troduc;ion of chainless bicycles in this
country occurred several years ago,
but their sale was limited, due to the
manufacturers’ lack of financial back-
ing and the failure of the makers to
produce a durable, easy-running ma-
chine of this nature. These difficul-
ties, it is now claimed, have been
ovo‘come, and one of the leading
manrfacturers of this country, who
proposes to make chainless bicycles
next year, claims to have tried one for
18,000 miles, and that for all-around
riding it has stood the test wonder-
fully.
A CHAINLESS SAFETY BICYCLE.
Riders who watch the progress of
bicycle construction are greatly inter-
ested in the proposed change in gears.
and considerably curiosity is felt as to
the demand that will be made for
these chainless wheels. When the
safety wheel was first introduced rid-
ers claimed that it was merely a pass-
ing fancy, and that it could not sup-
plant the old high bicycle. The chain-
less bicycle will likely be received
with the same spirit, and, like the
first safety, it will, with continued im-
provement, likely force the chain gear
out of existence in the same manner
that the high bicycle has been retired.
. Some wheelmen are skeptical as to the
I success of the chainless wheel, and the
cautious rider feels that it will be
well to use the ordinary chain gear
for next season, but at the same time
to keep an observant eye upon the
new—tangled arrangement and its suc-
cess. '
INTERIOR VIEW AMEAICAN IDEA.
Riders of experience realize that the
chain gear at times causes an endless
amount of annoyance from stretching,
rusting and adaptability to pick up
dirt. In spite of its drawbacks it is
at the present time found eminently
satisfactory because it is the best
thing on the market today. Outside of
all the new devices patented for gear
attachments, the bevel gear is likely
to give the best satisfaction. This
picture of the safety bicycle presents
the safety chainless wheel with the
bevel gear. This picture presents a
neat appearance, as the ordinary
chain is disposed of. In point of
weight it is said that the bevel gear
will not be any heavier than the ordi-
nary chain gear. A point that will
make the bevel gear popular is the
claim to cleanliness. The gears, front
and rear, are entirely enclosed, and
at the same time can be kept con-
stantly immersed in oil, insuring per—
fect lubrication. Examinatioi of the
wheel ‘and gearing shows that it is
simple and direct. The usual crank
shaft carries, instead of the ordinary
large sprocket, a bevelled gear of
suitable size, meshing with which is
a smaller gear, the shaft of which
passes either through or over the right
rear fork. "he rear end of this shaft
carries another small gear which
meshes into a corresponding gear on
the rear hub instead of the usual
rear sprockci- At each end this shaft
is carried on ball bearings, which are
arranged in such a way that wear can
be taken 11*) without affecting the
meshing of the gears. The bearings
for the hub and crank are of the usual
form.
Well-Digger Shirey’s Nerve.
An Aberdeen, Md., well digger named
Shirey, had a thrilling experience in
the woodland property lying north-
west of Aberdeen, belonging to the 0s-
born brothers, and saved his life only
bngreat nerve and presence of mind,
The timber is being cleared, and
Riley’s sawmill is at work on it con-
verting the trees into lumber for build-
ing purposes.
Shirey was employed to deepen a
well and had placed a charge of dyna-
mite in the bottom to blast a large
rock that was in the way. After light-
ing the fuse he came out of the well
and waited a sufficient length of time.
as he thought, for the fuse to burn. He
returned to the well amid many pro-
tests from a large number of men em-
ployed at the mill. \Vhen the bottom
was reached he found the fuse burn-
ing, and in another second the explos-
ion would take place. With remark-
able courage and presence of mind he
pinched off the burning fuse with his
thumb and fingers, thus saving his
life, as in another second he would
have been blown into pieces.
Facing death \under such circum-
to tax the nerve of any one. When
Shirey came out of the well he was
not even pale. He treated it as a case

How to Cure :1. Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him to
be in amost miserable condition. It was
undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took imme-
diate steps to bring about a. speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and the many good recom-
mendations included therein, we concluded
to make a first trial of the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory in its results, is
putting it. very mildly, indeed. It acted
'ke magic and the result was a speedy and

DOGS ARE NOW DYED.
Dog Stealers Find it Necessary to the 8nd-
‘_ cess of Their ‘Businesg.
Thisis said to be the age of adul-
teration. Even dogs are adultei-ated
now. In Paris the practice of color.-
ing and otherwise metamorphosing
dogs seems to have been carried on
extensively, and generally for very
obvious reasons. One reason is that
some persons who own pet dogs like
to have them of a color corresponding
to the fashionable color of each par-
ticular season, and as dogs can not
shed their skins like snakes the nec-
CSSfll’l‘ Changes of color must be pro-
duced by other means. Another rea-
son is that dog stealers find it very
profitable to give a new hue to such .
canines as they may acquire, as it is I.
then impossible for their former own-'-
crs to recognize them.
A pointer, 'says an expert, can be
changed into an animal closely resem~
bling a spaniel by means of a tinc-
ture which will make his. coat black
instead of ‘ orange. Any required
change of color in a fox terrier can
be made by means of a tincture com-
posed of walnuts and sulphate of iron.
The process does not injure the ani-
mal’s health,2 and the fictitious color
will last to the end of the season.
To change a black dog into a white
one is very easy, and is effected by
gradually eflacing the original coat.
In the case of spotted dogs special
mixtures are used. vThere is, in fact,
no kind of dog in which the required
changes cannot be made with little
trouble.
Dog stealers, however, are not sat-
isfied Wlill changing the color of the
stolen dogs. Some dogs. they know,
are so loyal that they will at once rec-
ognize their former masters wherever
they may see them, and in such a case
in spite of the change of color, the
masters, attracted by the dog‘s ca-
resses, are very likely to suspect that
something is wrong, and the endrmay
be a trial before a police magistrate.
The knaves know well what the re-
sult of such a trial would be. The
magistrate, seeing the dogs caress
their former masters would naturally
decide the question of ownership in
their favor. Nay, his suspicions once
aroused, he might even go further and
order that the dogs be thoroughly
washed, and this would surely result
in the knaves discomfiture and arrest,
since ample evidence of the fraudu-
lent colors would be forthcoming.
Na ssity, however, is the mother of
invention. A modern dog stealer
adopts the following tactics: He sees a
thoroughbred dog, and decides to
steal him. But first he must find out
the animal‘s name, and under no cirs
cumstances will he steal him until he
has found it out. Having secured the
animal, he ties him in a room and
calls him by his name several times
a day. The dog, hearing his name,
raises. his head and wags his tail, but
instead of the expected caress he re—
ceives a. shower of blows from his
brutal new owner. After he has been.
treated this wary several times he nat-
urally conceives an insurmountable
repulsion for his own name, and as
soon as he hears it he is sure to sneak
off with his tail between his legs.
He Forgot the Bride’s Name.
“Say, please hold on there, my
friend. Wait till I go home and get
her last name, I’ll be back before
long.”
This was the funny exclamation
made by a man in the Cleveland Pro-
bate Court after'he had entered his
own name and the given name of his
prospective wife on the license book.
Clerk Schwab, who was dispensing
the young man’s wants looked up
startled. It was one of the most
amusing things he had run across in
his diversified career behind the coun-
ter. 'After vainly trying to suggest the
missing name, he agreed there was
nothing left but to go home after it.
The young man was Eugene Mur-
‘ phy. He dictated and spelled out the
name of his intended. It was A—u-
g-u-s-t-a —. But there it suddenly
stopped. Murphy“ blushed, looked
slightly—just slightly—disturbed, turn-
ed all sorts of colors in a minute, and
finally thought he’d give it up. That
is precisely what Clerk Schwab did.
After tarrying with his pen in his
hand for a few minutes he told the
young man to come back after he
knew whom he was going to marry.
Meanwhile an interrogation point
was left as a substitute for the trou-
blesome appendage. “Better make it
‘What (1’ you call her?’ suggested a
bystander. Perhaps it would have fit-
ted the case to a “T.”
“Say, were you ever in such a pre-
dicament?” mildly queried Murphy.
“Say, but it’s tough, boys; flShe’ll
think I’m forgetting her thus early.
But I’m not. I hope you will fare
better.” ,
Then he departed to solve the fate-
ful conundrum.
It seems Murphy did solve it. Later
in the day the missing name was
found on the register. Only the dif-
ference in the shade of the ink re-
mained to tell the tale of a prospect
ive husband’s plight. ' he full name
was Augusta. Krentz.
