Here was a great hotel property that had cost over two millions of dollars, a perfect palace in construction and appointments, that had literally died out, gone to seed, and was closed up. Mr. Haynes took it and spent two hundred thousand dollars in Bew equipment and a fortune im advertising the fact. And today it is doing the largest business of any hotel in New York. Of course, there must duild up such s business on, and Mr. Haynes offers it in the very fact of a most central location, an@ in giving the best accommo- dations at the most reasonable charges.

The several minor positions at the jail are filled by the board of county commissioners, and as that body is democratic, Sheriff Zimmerman, who is a republican, will have serving under him the democratic attaches of his democratic predecessor. The new general manager of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad, R. B. Campbell, together with a large party of his fellow ofticials, arrived here on a special train Thursday, on a general tour of inspection, and after spending an hour here left for Brunswick and points west on the road. The little daughter of J. Thomas White of Middletown, this county, was bitten in the left arm on Tuesday by a dog belong- ing to Harlan Jones of that place. The dog’s teeth severed an artery in the child's arm, causing a hemorrhage, but fatal re- sults were prevented by the prompt arrival of medical aid. The republicans here have started a rumor that the present democratic board of county commissioners intend soon to resign their offices. They base the supposition upon the fact that the extension of their term from two to six years was a potent cause for the defeat of the democratic ticket in the re- cent election, and they contend, also, that the republican minority in the coming legis- jature will make a strong and obstinate fight for the repeal of the odious county commissioner law.

John is only sixteen years old, but he thought he would be able to ride a bike. All that was necessary was to get the “bike,” and that he made up his mind to do. He soon learned that a wheel would cost him anywhere from $100 to $150, and that was a little more than he felt able to pay. His funds were a little low, but he had made up his mind to have one, and so he concluded that he would start to manufacture one. In his part of thé country the roads are as smooth as con- crete pavements, and John had often pic- tured himself passing along on his silent steed, leaving the fast horses in the rear. His cash did not increase in proportion to his desire for a wheel, and so out there on the farm in the mountainous country he went into his father’s shop and started to construct a racer. He worked early and late, until he had finished the consgruction of the wheel as shown in the photograph, and now he is seen on the road trying to keep pace with some of the riders of pneu- matic tired fron horses. The entire wheel, with the exception of an old iron tire from a carriage wheel, was made by the boy. The rear wheel is made of a solid piece of oak, while the handle bar and seat are made of a lighter wood. On a recent trip through that country made by the members of the Georgetown Cycle Club the rider was seen, and Dr. Downey of New Market, presented a picture of the boy and his wheel to Mr. George M. Hunt. The Victor Club’s Banqnet. Saturday night members of the Victor Cycle Club met at the banquet table and discussed their recent successful race meet. Mr. S. B. Davis, the newly elected presi- dent of the club, presided at the banquet and called upon the members and friends for short speeches. The guests took occa- sion to congratulate the members of the Victor Club upon the success which at- tended their meet, and the members of the club dwelt at length upon the necessity for the construction of a suitable race y it Be Taken to Exterminate This Pest. While Brazil and Hawaii have their little difficulties, it may be interesting to know that seeds of a great revolution are being sown in the great west. It is probable that a severe war of extermination will be waged in the Dakotas against a foreign invader, known as the Russian thistle. This per- sistent weed has caused several millions of damage already. The prospects are that unless general action is taken next summer the weea will spread peyona nope of exun- suisament. 4. +1. Dewey, assistant botanist of the Agricultural Department, acting under or- ders from Secretary Morton, iett Saturday night for thé norcawest to make an invesu- ation into the extent of the damage done to tne crops. ‘The weed was introduced into the coun- try about seventeen years ago in some flax- seed and sowed near Scotland, South Da- kota. From a small beginning it has spread through the Dakotas and into Minnesota, Jowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The seed sprouts in May or June and by September has developed into a plant from two to six feet in diameter and half as high, forming @ dense, bushy mass of rigid branches, of- fering an effectual barrier to the passage of man or beast. At intervals of half an inch or less on the branches are clustered three sharp spines a quarter to half an inch long. The full-grown plant, shaped like an in- verted saucer, two to six feet in diameter, all grows from a single root less than half an inch thick. When the ground is frozen in November and the prairie breezes begin to practice for the winter this small root is twisted off and the whole Plant turns upon edge, like a cart wheel, and goes off before — wind scattering seeds at every revolu- lon.

Two new houses are being erected here, ject further. we are informed that summer time is the it season for the sale of artificial eyes. People are at that time of the year more particular as to their ap- pearance, discover more readily that the artificial eye is beginning to lose its pristine perfection. Another Point fs that there are many people walking about whose outward appearance suggests that they are in full possession of both visual organs. but have not even one. “I have fitted,” said the manufacturer. “scores of people with two glass eyes.’ The innocent de- ception is the more successfully carried out owing to the fact that the blind. from force of habit, no doubt, look. or appear to Phelps and Shaffer for business pu: and the other for Mr. John O’Brien.
