Gaffin also started with them, but before he rode a mile his bicycle broke and by it he received some pain ful scratches and bumps, the way his bike unloaded him. The wheelmen started at 4 o'clock in the morning and by 10.30 there were on Lancaster aveaue, beyond 52nd street, Philadel- phia. After partaking of a hearty dinner and an hour’s rest, they started for the return trip and were home by 8.30 o’clock in the evening.

J PRAIRIE FOURTH Jt Was Celebrated in a Way That Pleased the Yankee Sottler (FEET AIN'T no use t’ think o’ Fourth o’ July in this God-forsaken hole,” P| grumbled the new station master, as his eye rested scornfully on the scattered collection of wooden shanties which made up the little western town. “Back in Perry: ville at least two brass bands 'ud a been playin’ now. I ¢’n see th’ wagon all cov ered with flags 'n bunting a standing in front of th’ Methodist church all ready, for 1 th’ little girls in red, white an’ blue that was THE PATRIOTS OF NEW STOCKHOLM. to represent th’ states. ‘An’ Judge White 'ud a been all ready with his copy o’ th’ declaration under his arm, an’ askin’ every- body, if they, thought it was going t’ rain 'n spoil th’ doings. We'd a had dinner at th’ grounds with th’ Hollises an’ th’ Perrys, me’n Libbie an’ th’ kids. They'd a been singin’ of th’ ‘Star Spangled Banner,” and we'd a had plenty o’ firecrackers an’ fire- works at night. Well, T ain’t mentioned th’ Fourth t’ th’ kids this year; maybe they'll forget it with nothing t’ remind ’em of it among these furriners.” His dull eye came slowly back from the dull line where prairie met sky. “Yes, 1 guess th’ glorious Fourth don’t mean much t’ these Swedes an’ Dutch. Hello!” As he watched, a fat little German was excitedly climbing to the roof of his rickety board dwelling with a roll of bunting; un- der the excited, broken English of his wife's direction he was fastening it to the caves. At the same moment the tiny upper win- dow in Ole Johnson's shanty was opened for the first time in months, though the family slept in that room. A few mo- ments later Old Glory flung its starry folds from the sill. Old Fritz Schmidt was wring- ing “America” from his groaning horn across the way. From down the road came a shill chorus of childish voiees singing the “Star Spangled Banner,” with various ac- cents. The new station master ran acros: the road and into his new little house, which smelled still of paint. Ten minutes later, three American youngsters, with flags in their caps and strips of buniing about their shoulders, had joined iz the singing. The glorious Fourth wus being celebrated at New Stockholm ds well as at Perryville. The experiment of tobacco growing in Ireland is now meeting with sue- CESS. The French minister of public works has published some statistics whieh show that during 1900 no less than 50, | 048 boats of various sizes were at work on the Seine. The boats carried 10, 000,000 tons of merchandise, of which 649,037 tons were used in Paris. An old horn snuff box once belonging to Sir Francis Drake, possibly the one which he used at Plymouth Hoe during his famous game of bowls, bas just been sold for £3 10 shillings in London. The snuff box is a quaint old relie, bear- ing the coat of arms of Sir Francis, with his name on the lid. A German expert in the east points out thatas time goes on more and more men are required to coerce China inte doing the will of another power. The opium war required only 4,000 Euro- peans, the Anglo-French war against the Chinese, 16,000 and 4,800 Indians. The Japanese needed 95,000 men and 115,000 coolies, and to-day we find 90 men of war and almost 150,000 men at- tempting to compel obedience from the giant empire. THE CYCLING WORLD. On a bad or narrow road always make room for the heavier vehicle. The Touring club of France makes a splendid showing with a member- ship record of 80,000 riders. Ring your bell before passing from} the rear a team or another cyclist It can do no harm and may possibly do a great deal of good. Tom Cooper says he is going to be a cycle racer until he is too eld te guide a wheel. He adds that he has been obliged to assert his stand ow: ing to the constant rumors purport: ing to come from him, and claiming to indicate his intention of retiring from the track. Lives of English Kings, The four Norman kings of England averaged 55 years, the eight Plan- tagenets 53. The Wars of the Roses shoriened life in the succeeding. dynasties, the three Lancastrian; Yings averaging 43 years, and thel Murder and Suicide. Howard Shenk last Sunday, shct and killed Mrs. Hill at Charlestown, West Virginia and then killed him- self. Mr. S8henk was the only son of Rey, Levi Bhenk of Rapho township, a New Mennonite preacher. Shenk went to Charlestown on Saturday and secured possession of a note cent by his rival to Mrs. Hill He npbraided her for caeting him off and when he left he said he would kill himself. He called on Mrg, Hill on Sunday morning and she consented to see him. They were alcne in the room when the double tragedy was enacted. The position of the bodies indicated that Shenk held the woman while be ghot her in the head. When he saw that she was dead he walked to a rocking chair. placed his pistol be- hind his right ear and discharged the bullet that ended his life. 8henk premeditated the murder. He sent a letter to his firm telling them that he intended leaving the country. Another letter addressed to his father asked him to care for his child, as he would never hear from him again, and he asked his father not to believe anything bad he might hear, but that he was deceived by a woman he loved, The husband of Mrs, Hill is a* cripple, an inmate of the State Howe for Incurables at Huntington, Mr. Shenk was a clerk in Wolfe Yoffee’s clothing store, in Mount Joy, about five years ago. : Shenk’s first wife was Miss Margie Ohmit of Marietta. She secured a di= vorce from him, and one child was the result of that warriage, Mira Edith Shenk, who lives with her grandfather, Rev. Levi H. Shenk His second wife was Miss Lillie Woods of Columbia, She also secured a divorce from him. Shenk lived fey several years in Columbia, and was ay clerk in Fuld & Bachman’s store. He left Columbia to accept a posi tion in a Harrisburg store, and short ly afterward he accepted a position a traveling salesman with the firm of Mason & Boswell, Staunton, Va. The main facts in the tragedy are that insane jealousy of the woman caused Shenk to kill her and then himself, She refused to allow Shenkg cowe any more to her house, hay'ug found another man f or her lover. Shenk’s body was brought to M2: nt Joy yesterday afternoon and was tak en to the residence of kis father by by undertaker Davia H. Engle.
