"O n ce on an ocean steamer,” said a traveler, " w e had a heated shaft bear ing, or something of that sort, so that the engines stopped for five or six hours. I had often read and heard about how the captaiu was the great mogul aboard ship, how about all things pertaining to the affairs of the ship he held aloof und must not be approached by the pas sengers, and that it was a sort of viola tion o f the unwritten rules of the sea for a passenger to ask the captain any thing. And there may he some reason iu all th is; if one passenger might ask him, 40 might, nud surely the command er of the ship ought uot to be unneces sarily disturbed by useless questions. We hud been lying there three or four hours waiting. There was no danger whatever, but it was a delay and an in cident of interest, and of course all the passengers talked about nothing else— the common information was that the delay was due to a heated bearing. “ I was standing on the upper deck by the door to the main eon) pan ion way leading to the deck below. The captain came along the upper deck from the after part of the ship and went below by that companionway. Ho must pass w ithin a foot of me, and under the cir cumstances it did not seem like a vio lently unreasonable breach of salt water etiquette to ask him what was the mat ter, which I did. A passenger who stood on the other side of the doorway looked at me w ith the amused smile of an older traveler. The captaiu said nothing. He simply passed on, to all outward ap pearances quite unconscious of my ques tion or even my presence. ” — New York Hun.

BICYCLES FORCE ECONOMY. C h ic a g o Shopkeeper» Say E v e ry One E co n o m izin g to B u y a W h e el. 1« Storekeepers and tradesmen have their own ideas on political economy. They do not explain the depression in busi ness and the financial difficulties by any of the stereotyped arguments of the pub lic speaker. With them the cause is uot the outflow of gold, it is not the silver dollar— it is the bicycle. If the tw enti eth century fulfills the prophecy that the man who does not ride a bicycle w ill be a curiosity they say they w ill close up (hop. Every bicycle rider, they say, is in training— physical or economic. If he is not preparing to win medals or cash prizes or pianos he is paying for his wheel. To the bicycle as a hygienic in vention they do uot object; for the rich man they think it is just the thing. But they do not like it on the installment plan. The installment plan, in the dic tionary of the tradesman, means no c i gars, no theater, no novelties in neck wear and no meals for more than 15 cents. The chapter in the tradesman's polit ical economy devoted to statistics pre sents figures something like these: In Chicago there are about 150,000 persons baying bicycles on the installment plan. They are, as a rule, people who make just enough money and have none to spare. Some o f them figure expenses so closely that a day's outing w ith their best girls or w ith “ the hoys” means a boycott of the street car for several weeks. The bicycle for “ spot cash” had little or no inducement for them, but they have succumbed to the blandish ments of the installment plan and are its slaves for six months. When the installment plan gets its clutches on the young man w ith a salary it takes $30 to start with. As a rule he cannot spare this amount iu one month, so he saves up his spending money for mouths ahead. When he gets started he gives up $10 a month. Bicycle dealers are considerate in that, in most eases, they do not take away the earnings of tli< tradesman for more than six months. Sometimes they take $5 a month, but that is usually all the young man can pay, and the agony of the tradesman lasts nearly a year. However the m at ter is figured up the tradesmen lose about $2,000,000 a month. When their statistician made his first report some of them fainted. The restaurant keeper, the cigar man and the “ gents' ” furnishing goods man can tell months ahead when a regular customer is contemplating the install ment plan. He comes into the restaurant out of breath and pretends to be in a great hurry. He takes a seat at the lunch counter instead of at the table where he is accustomed to sit. The w aiter brings him a b ill of fare. “ How long w ill it take to get a ten derloin steak?” he asks. "O h , about ten m inutes,” says the waiter. "T o o long. Can’t wait. Terrible hur ry, yon kuow. B rin g,m e a ham sand wich und a cup of coffee, aud he quick about it. ” When he has finished, he pays his 10 cent check without looking at the pretty cashier and goes out on the ran. A t the cigar store he drops from a 10 cent to a three fo r a quarter cigar. The next day he finds something for a nickel that he can bear. Then he gets to talk ing about cigars being too strong for him and buys a b o x of cigarettes. F in a l ly he comes iu and gives the cigar man a long tale about his best girl not want ing him to smoke and says he has prom ised to swear off. He tells the man where he used to hny his neckties that he has a very poor stock. The tie he saw Jones wearing was a beauty, but he cannot find one like it in town. The storekeepers are resorting to all sorts of devices to keep their trade. One cigar mini has rented his window to a bicycle agent and says he is catching the spare change when the fellows come in to pay their installments. A t many of the restaurants there are racks in front of the windows where riders are invited to hook their wheels w hile they take dinner. Restaurant keepers think this w ill shame the wheelmen into buy ing a good meal.— Chicago Record. P ra ise F o r D r. D epew . Chauncey M. Depew is a newspaper angel. He is an unfailing source of sup ply to the reporter. Some New York journalists wanted to ask him a few questions the other day, but found that he was at a board meeting and could not immediately accommodate them. He sent word, though, that he would meet the reporters en masse at a certain hour iu the afternoon and answer their ques tions “ on the fly .” He is always ready.

Y., who was arrested recently for a daring burglary committed last Oc tober, made her escnjxi from the Fishkill jail by tiling out the lock. She went to the house of James Fleming, her cousin, and on the following day, dressed iu a cut away coat and large trousers and wearing a large white felt hat that concealed her hair, which was rolled up iu a knot on top of her head, she walked out of Fishkill right under the noses of the police who were looking for her. Annie knew that the trains would be watched, so she walked the track to Peekskill. a distance of 18 i miles, passed the night there, and the next ! morning walked to the home of her par i ents in Montrose. Before appearing before them she changed her cloth.es iu the woods, i throwing aside her disguise and putting ' on her dress, which she had carried in a bundle. Although she met and talked ! with different men on her tramp, none of ! them recognized her.

Adolph Friederichsl A most fascinating man— brilliant, dashing, sparkling, optimistic, im pul sive and generous— a natural leader of men. He hail all the qualities that win men’s admiration. He had follies— and, I almost said, vices— that conld only be condoned by overshadowing them with his m ultiplied virtues. By birth a Ger man; by naturalization ail Aiuericau; by profession a journ alist If yon would know more of him, he was a short, stocky m a il about 40 years of age, with a smoothly shaven, round face, and a leonine head like Millocker, the com poser. He married a sweet faced, mild tempered, little woman, who idolized him and whom he loved w ith all the warmth of an impnlsiToand affectionate nature. His income was sufficient for the needs of an economical man, but Fried- ericlis was not economical; he did not premeditate extiavagance, but was one of those unfortunates whose tastes were patrician and whose means were ple beian. He knew little or nothing of the value of money; a bill or a coin was to him as a leaf, and he “ the owner of un bounded forests. ’ ’ He gambled some times— uot often. When he won, he felt no pleasure other than what earn« through the purchase of some luxury for the little w ife at home. When he lost, he was depressed— not for the loss of the money, but because the little w ife would suffer some deprivation. Then his exu berant disposition would assert itself, and lie would cheerfully Itorrow such sums as he needed from the first friend who would lend. Many such obligations were never repaid. His inability to meet them w ithin a reasonable length of time caused him lunch temporary annoyance; then he neglected them and eventually forgot them. Anomalous as it may seem, his sense of honor was high and strong. Had he been accused of being truant to any debt of honor he would have resented it to any extremity. His weakness was his optimism. It mattered not how dark and cheerless the present,' the future was roseate, the past was dead. The morning of that rosy future never dawned. Friederichs sat in a room in a Chicago hotel w ith two senators of the United States. The city was filled w ith people gathered for a special occasion. Men were rushing about, pausing for hasty handshakes or whispered consultation, secret conferences were being held be hind locked doors, and everything por tended that an event of importance and magnitude was about to take place. W ithout a sw elling cheoris heard, m in gled w ith the notes of a patriotic air played by a brass band. Presently the band wheels into sight from across the street and marches down one of the great thoroughfares. Follow ing comes an army of men w ith flags and banners. The conspicuous attire is long linen coats and tall w hite hats. On tlieii coats are badges of ribbon denoting the •rganization to which they belong. They carry no more formidable weapons than light w alking sticks and sun um brellas. They are greeted w ith cheers from the surging, struggling mass that lines the sidewalks, and an answering cheer goes up from the nlstered, high hatted line. Occasionally some uudulv excited individual utters a yell. A s the procession passes out of eight a sim ilar one crosses on a side street, and the crowd shifts and struggles into position to obtain a view of the latter. Thus the day is spent, thus the evening and far into the night. It is a scene with which Americans are familiar. They know the meaning of this assem bling of hosts, this gathering of clans. On the morrow a national convention ol a great political party is to be held to select a candidate for president of these United States. “ Senator, I cannot do i t ,” said Fried erichs to one of the men in his apart ments. " Y o u might as w ell expect the colonel of a regiment to desert his gen eral in the midst of battle w ith victory in sight. I have been w ith him from the first. W aat would the German peo ple tliiuk of me if I deserted now? I have written hundreds of columns in his favor. They have reail and believed.
