FREELAND, PA., JULY 11, 1895. A New Danger. From all cities comes the complaint of fast riding or "scorching," as it is called. The man or woman on tho bi cycle is become the bane of the pedes trian. Crossing streets in the resi dence parts of the cities bus become the art of dodging two-wheeled vehicles. In New York city they have a law which forbids riding at greater speed than eight miles an hour. But how is a policeman to judge of the speed? And how is he to arrest violators of this wholesome regulation? The Tribune's advice is a bicycle-mounted police. Tho men for this service must be expert riders. In many places the bicycle riders have special paths or roads set apart for their use. Excursions into the country have also become regular features, and, strange to say, the inns which went out when the railroads came in are being reopened. FARMER WHITE, of Michigan, has a racing cow. Iler favorite pastime is to jump the fence and run along the highway like a blooded colt. One day it occurred to the farmer that he ought to put such talents to use, so lie re marked to a neighbor that ho had a cow that could outrun his horse. The result was a match between the equine and bovine—half-mile, straightaway. The cow had a clear lead up to the first half of the distance, but just then a dog appeared in a side lane and barked furiously. The cow jumped the fence and gave chase to the canine, and the equine trotted in an easy winner. Ilad it not been for this diversion, it is be lieved that the cow would have won. A MIND reader was showing off before a party of Chicago men. "Can you read an alderman's mind and find out how much money he got for his last vote?'* asked one of the spectators. "Certainly," replied the mind reader with a smile. "All right, try it on my friend here," indicating an alderman who sat beside him. The alderman be came very red in the face, looked at the mind reader distrustfully, murmured something about his friend being "too gay" and then retreated.

Testimonials free, - " JAPAN ACTED SQUARE Mr. Foster Talks About the Recent Oriental War. Good Reason Now To Expect Per manent Peace—Tho Policy Main tained by tho United States Ap proved Germany's Intervention Was a Surprise. Washington, July 9.—ln conversation with a reporter for the United Press Mr. Foster, who was Li lluug Chang's ad viser in the Japanese-Chinese peace ne gotiations, was asked for his opinion of tho prospects of permanent peace be tween China and Japan as the result of the treaty of Sliimouoseki. lie replied: "There is good reason to expect perma nent peace between tho two empires. The terms demanded by Japan may, under the circumstances, bo regarded as reasonable, especially in view of the re trocession of tho Liao Tung peninsula. The treaty has been observed aud carried out by China with scrupulous good faith, ller conduct in this respect has created a very favorable impression in Japan." Germany's Intervention a Surprise. In regard to the attitude of the pow ers towurd the parties to the recent con test Mr. Foster said: "The intervention of Russia, on account of the terms of peace, was not unexpected, aud it is not unnatural in view of her predominating interest in the Orient, especially on the north Pacific coast of Asia. That France followed the lead of Russia created no surprise in the 'east; bue that Germany should unite with them in u display of force agaiust Japan was entirely unex pected and is not yet understood. British Residents Bitter. "British residents in China and Japan are very bitter in criticism of their gov ernment for its übsleiition in the matter. They allege that its failure to join with the otiier powers in rearranging the terms of peace, lias lost for their country much prestige aud has left Russia a free hand iu its influence and control at Pekiu. Our Policy Approved. "Of all countries diplomatically con cerned in the contest, the United States has come out of it with better grace than any other. From the first her interest hits been recognized by both belligerents as purely disinterested, her only desire being to render such service as would bring about an honorable and lasting peace. The conduct of the state depart ment in its very delicate relations with both combatants has been marked by good judgment and few mistakes, and the good offices of our ministers and con suls in China and Japan, where they represented the interests of bath govern ments, have beeeu very useful aud highly appreciated by both nations." Tired of Residence Abroad. Mr. Foster was asked why he declined to accept the oiler to remain iu China as the adviser of tho government, the first ever made to any foreigner to euter into the councils of that nation. He answered that during the past twenty-live years he hud spent the greater portion in foreign lands, and that while his residence abroad had been generally pleasant he had found no couutry equal to his na tive land, and he desired to spend tho rest of his days in his own country and own home. Concessions Granted by Japan. The Tien-Tsiu Times in and editorial review of tho peace negotiations as finally promulgated, says that the docu ment showed an abatement of one-third ($144,400,000) of the amount of the in demnity claimed; tho reduction by one half of the area of territory claimed on the mainland; the reduction of the pay ment to be made by China of the cost of the Japanese army of occupation pend ing the performance of the treaty of obli gations by China, from tho whole esti mated sum (1,000,000), to one-quarter of the cost ($100,000); the restriction of oc cupation of Chiuese territory by .Japan ese troops to one post, Wei-llei-Wei. There was also a complete abandonment by Japan of the claim for special privi leges to her subjects trading in China, that immunity from certain taxation imposed by China upon other foreigners doing businesss in her territory, and the right of Japaueso traders to pay for their purchases iu China in the currency of Japan. This illustrates to China tho value of Mr. Foster's services. To 1 i 111 If 1 link I morn's Court House.
