The principal subject of discussion was the Washington avenue {mprovement. Ex- Mayor Judson T. Cull, one of the large property owners on Washington avenue, made a speech, severely criticising the work. He objected to the work in gen- eral, claiming that the stone was not of sufficient thickness; that sand was used instead of gravel,which would, he thought, cause the stone base to spread under the wheels of heavy vehicles, Ex-Congress- man Compton, another large property own- er on the avenue, also made an address. Mr. Compton stated that he was rather surprised at the way in which the spect- fications were not carried out. Engineer English then made a statement. Mr, In- glish sald the stone of the proper kind and was as near the size specified as he could possibly get it. He said that sand was used on the work instead of gravel, because of a request made by the council to keep the cxpense down, after they Iearned it wouid make a difference of $700. Mayor Phelps was empowered to engage an engineer to visit Laurel to in- spect the work. The mayor submitted a communication in reference to the success cf petitions sent the Baltimore and Ohio. He ehowed that the pstitloa for a crossing at Montgomery street had not Leen grant- ed; that the xetition and resolution for an overhead bridge at ‘Talbott avenue was turned down by the company on account of the expense and for the reason that a tunnel had been built in 1888 In the north- eastern erd of the town; the application for a rebate of one-half on car loads cf materials for permanent street _{mprove- ments was not allowed; the reduction in the price of tickets to Laurel was refused at first, then reconsidered and allo the letter of refusal to run line of at depot to conform with the town line in making permanent improvements on Main street was afterward reconsidered. The council at a late hour adjourned. ‘The funeral of Mr. "| R. Owens, a prominent farmer of upper Prince George's, who died near here, on his farm, late Sat- urday evening, will take place’ from his residence at 3 o'clock this evening. At the time of his death Mr. Owens was in the neighborhood of venty-five ¥ of age. He leaves three sons—James F., John, and William. The last named—Mr. William Owens—Is a candidate for county commis- sioner on the dem ticket. A very enjoyable party was given last night at the residence of the Misses Dora and Pauline Clark, in honor of Miss Stier of Washington, niece of the well-known cashier of the Lincoln National Bank. The lawn was brilliantly illuminated with pret- ty Chinese lanterns, Dancing, singing, etc., were pleasant features of the occa- sion. The recitations of Mr. Bash were highly entertaining. Among those present Miss Stier of Washington, Misses ley, Mary, Georgia and Jennie Berry, Alice and Saltle Gray, Nettie and Sophye Snowder, Maud Harrison, Mary Sailer, Mrs. Dr. Coates, and Misses Dora and Pauline Clark, and Messrs.

AMERICAN CYCLER IN EUROPE He Finds Nothing but Praise to Say of Its Roads. Popularity of the Sport and the Gen- eral Effort to Make the Par- ticipant Comfortable. From the New Orleans Picasuae. A few days ago Mr. Harry H. Hodgson, one of the oldest cyclers in the city and the fourder of the local division of the Leegue of American Wheelmen, returned with his wife from quite an extended tour of Europe. Mr. Hodgson has possibly done more for the bicycle riders of this city than any other person. It has been his one hope to secure for the riders some system of gislation which would give to the public good roads throughout Louisiana. Having made the question a close study he realized the importance of the work, and at once attempted to secure the calling of a convention with the object of placing on a is a plan for improving the untry roads of the state. upe Mr. Hodgson paid par- ticular attertion to the cycling of that country, and the roads which the cyclers had at their command. he magnific of these thoroughfares was, indeed, s| ing. They showed even more clearly the utter lack of pathways in the south, and the carelessness exhibited in the construc- tion of the few good roads of which the state can boast. Speaking of cycling In Europe and the bicycl: used, especially In Mr. Hodgson remarked that the foreign wheel was of a much heavier weight than the American machine, and still it was not more durable. ‘The American wheel has ence in France, ard gained much prom! specially in Paris, where it is considered the best. The French machine weighs from thirty-two to thirty-five pounds; the American wheels weigh about twenty-five to thirty pounds. While in Parls Mr, Hodgson witnessed the races between Banker of Pittsburg and the Belgian champion. The Belgian rider had defeated all the fast 1iders of Europe, but when he met the American he simply played with. Banker allowed 1 to lead until the etre! near the his riv finish, when he went by him with compara- There were hundreds of Amer- and the money won amounted to thousand: Every bet was taken, and even odds were given. The Americans showed their true American spirit, and played on thelr country repre- sentative in every manner possible. Craze for Cycles. The cafes and restaurants all over Europe cater to the wheelmen. In the early even- ing the waiters place on the sidewalk bi- cycle stands, and riders can have their machines locked up, and when they are ready to depart they present a check and their wheel is released. It is a common sight to see from ten to tive ease. icans at the race, twenty wheels at one time in front of cafes and r 's of the cities of Europe. The craze r cycles has swept over the world, and the number of riders is wonder- ful. In Europe this growth is not so ex- traordinary, for the reason that the coun- try roads are so magnificent. Among the most famous cf these roads, and possibly the most magnificent piece of engineering im the werld, is the driveway from Nice to Monte Carlo. It is the Corniche road, made in the side cf the mountain. The surface is of the hardest broken granite, and is kept in such constant repair that it is actually as smooth as a billiard table. The foundation was so properly laid, ard the road itself so well drained, that five min- utes after a rain it is dry. There are gut- ters on the roadside, and these gutters are drained at intervals to deep ditches, where the water fs held until carried off again and distributed among streams. In France every department cares for the roads, which are Kept in the most perfect repair. Should one department have a sur- plus, after the roads in that section have been properly attended to, that money, in- stead of lying idle, ts expended In laying out another road, and when more money can be secured this new road is completed and made as beautiful as the old ones. Im- mediately upon the laying out of a road trees are planted, and within a few years there is an archway to shade the riders in the summer months, and the big trees break the wind of the winter. The roads of Italy, as of all Europe, are very fine, but these are sadly in need of repair. The country, however, Is bankrupt, ard can hardly make the necessary im- provements, yet the roads were so well and properly constructed originally that they have stood the ravages of time. In many instances there are good roads which iave not received a bit of improvement in twenty years, and they are better than the best streets of New Orleans. Of course, these public driveways are not cut to pieces by heavy wagons and floats like the streets of the American city. One of the most striking examples of a road and the man- rer in which @ road should be built ts the Appian Way, which leads from the city of Rome. Built 2,000 years ago by the Caesars, It Is even now considered one of the best roads In the world. Within the past fifteen years there has not been one cent expended upon the driveway, and, from general appearances, it can stand an- ether twenty years without repair. Care of Streets. The one sesrct for the preservation of the streets of Paris is proper Iegislation. Ve- hicles, under the laws, are required to carcy tires acccrding to the weight to be carried on the wagon. Carriages and pleasure ve- hicles are allowed a certain width for their tires, but the heavy floats and wine Wagons must have a much wider tire. In this man- ner the extreme heavy loads are distrib- uted over a much larger space than the weight of a cotton float and its narrow-tired wheels. Then, too, the wagons are not al- lowed to pass over certain streets, which are reserved for the pleasure vehicles, like the Champs Elysees, where heavy traffic is forbidden, and only light vehicles aro al- lowed, and y of these have rubber bands over their tires and pneumatic tires to their light wheels. In Germany the same grand roads exist. There are very few clubs in that country The bicycle riders are great tourlsts, how- ever, and can be found over all parts of Europe. In Germany there exists the Rad- fahrer Verein, an organization much after the fashion of the League of American Wheelmen. It has about 45,000 members. The greatest feeling of friendship ex‘sts among all wheelmen of different countries. ‘To show the fraternity of the wheel all over the world, Mr. Hodgson cited an incident which occurred in Genoa, Italy. He was about to catch a train, and at the depot ke was approached by an Italian cyclist. He had recognized the League of American Wheelmen badge pinned on the lapel of Mr. Hodgson’s coat, and, seeing the American, came forward with great exhibition of friendship, shaking his hand and saying something in Italian about America. ‘As the train pulled out the Italian could be seen standing on the platform waving Fis hand. In Brussels the cycling fever was fcund to be universal. Thousands were riding wheels, and Antwerp is now a cycling center. The Aenstrasse, which borders Lake Lucerne, is another of the famous rozds of Italy, and is visited by almost every tourist who goes that far south. Improved Roads, ‘The principle which seems to be followed in the building of roads is, first, a proper foundation, made hard by drainage. Then there is placed a layer of broken stone, and the top surface is vsually made of small stones, which are watered and rolled by immense stone rollers, until the surface is as solid as a rock and smooth as possible, The improvement in the machines for making roads has advanced and Is still ad- vancing. The roads of all Europe are so extremely good and are so well built that there is not a country which a rider can- not tour in its entirety, no matter how wet er how dry and warm the weather may be. The engineers of Hurope consider asphalt- um the best material for building streets, and this is used very extensively both in Paris and Lendon. Wood pavements have also been very extensively used, but sev- eral prominent physicians hoid that wood pavements catch and hold the germs of Cs and that they should be done away with. The cycling amcng the women has ad- vanced as much as among the men. In Paris the costumes worn by the lady riders consist of everything from bloomers to rac- ing tights, the bloomers, of course, being the most popular. The white sweaters are often worn. Among other interesting things about cyclers, Mr. Hodgson told of a strange costume which a lady in France had made. The costume was neatly made for bloomers, and in the country, for the lady lives outside one of the cities, the bloomers were worn, but as soon as she approached a city a skirt, which was but- toned clear down to tha hem, was swung around in place and buttoned up, and this protection made matters decidedly moze comfortable, until the country was again Feached, when the skirt was placed in a ae. In concludirg, Mr.-*Hodgson remarked that the road is that physical sign or sym- bol by which you may tmderatand any age or people. If they have no roads they are savages, for the road Ys the creation of men, and the type of civilized society. No comparison could be drawn between the streets and roads of Louisiana and those of Europe; but with proper attention and proper engineering, which was not prompt- ed by a desire to make’ personal gain, the roads of Louisiana could be made equal to those in any other state in the Union. —____+e+___ TO BALANCE ACCOUNTS. Mr. Spofford’s Stntement as to His Re- ccnt Deposit Into the Treasury. Librarian Spofford, in view of various conflicting statements regarding the sum of $22,400 paid by him tnto the treasury last week, was asked what the amount really represented. He replied that it was approximately the amount due the treas- ury on balance of copyright and salary ac- counts, as he found it. An unfavorable and wholly wrong construction, he said, had been placed upon It as representing a large deficit, whereas it was actuilly a balance between two accounts—a salary ac- count due the librarian for several months’ disbursements and an account due the gov- ernment for several months’ copyright fees. These acccunts had remained un- settled, although constant payments had been made by him to the number of ten or twelve during 1894 and 1895, of copy- right receipts, amounting to over $55,000, besides the $22,490 now deposited. He em- phatically denied any allegation that the recent payment was made to make good any wrongful withholding of moneys due to the government. On the contrary, the whole matter involved a balancing of delayed ac- counts, which his accumulated labors, con- stantly growing, had too long postponed. All copyright receipts had been entered daily, with dates, sources and amounts, whether small or large, duly noted, and he (Spofford) held himself responsible for the same. MAHON’S RIDE. A Law Sult of War Times That Never Ended. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Before I close this desultory account of horses impressed, captured or stolen, I must tell a horse story of Lee’s invasion of 1863 that ought to be historic, but that I believe has never appeared in print. Con- gressman Mahon, who will probably prove the only sincere advocate of the “border claims” in the next Congress, Is the hero of this tale. Mahon always had an eye to a good horse, and so it is not surprising that an animal belonging to an officer in Jenkins’ cavalry brigade should have taken his particular fancy. As the borough of Chambersburg was then in possession of the enemy, most other men would have been content to admire, without a thought of ownership, notwithstanding the horse waa riderless for the moment and without an immediate attendant. With Mahon to admire was to act, and so he sprang into the saddle and rode away. He was pur- sued, but escaped, and still had posses- sion of the horse after the last “reb” had gone back to “Dixt But somehow the town fathers of dear old Chambersburg imagined that the borough owned that horse, and, as attorney. for the town, I was instructed to sug Mahon for the value ef the animal. I agcordingly brought an action on the case, and, filed my “narra- tio,” while Mahon made.answer by a most formidable array cf counsel. All this hap- pened in October, 1863, but the case has never been tried. It. ought to be. Mahon will consent to waive all formalities, or rather informalities, so that we can get the case before Judge Stewart and a jury. I believe I will go back and try it. What a Rip Van Winkle proceeding it would be! I don't suppose I could win, for I never believed the old town had any more claim to that horse than I have to the moon, but if the defense was willing and the court gave us plenty of scope we would carry out a new chapter in history, and Mahon’s ride would become as famous as Sheridan’s. Interest im Art. From the Chleago Record. ‘A great many amusing things come up In the course of a free day at the Art Insti- tute. Not all of the visitors are educated in art matters, and yet they explain the pictures and statues quite glibly, as if they were. One day last week a hearty, red-faced woman in a flaring bonnet came in with a little girl. She looked about with an air of proprietorship. “Katie,” she sald, pointing at a figure In plaster, “luk at the pltrified man!” Another inquirer after knowledge asked a guard Sf Raphael's “Transfiguration” represented “Christ in His various stages from birth to death.” “I want to see Niob,” said a man recent- ly in Director French's office. The director couldn't understand. “Why, Niob, Niob,” said the man im- patiently, “the woman that cried so much.” “Oh, you mean Niobe.” ' When he was shown the statue he seem- ed much affected, gazing on it steadily for some moments. “It's the first time I’ve seen it,” he said, with emotion. “You see, I'm the inventor of the Niob complexion wash—perhaps you've heard of it—and I’ve wanted to see Niob for a long time. —_—___+e+____ Pavement From Molaases. From an Exchange. Perhaps the oddest pavement ever lald 1g one just completed at Chino, Cal. It is made mostly of molasses, and !f it proves all of the success claimed for it it may point a way for the sugar planters of the south to profitably dispose of the millions of gallons of useless molasses which they are sald to have on hand. The head chem- ist of a sugar factory at Chino, M. E. Turke, was led to mzae certain experi- ments, of which the new sidewalk, 1,000 feet long, from the factory to the main street, is the result. The molasses used is a refuse product, hitherto believed to be of no value. It is simply mixed with a certain kind of sand to about the consist- ency of asphalt and’laid Mke an asphalt pavement. The composition dries quickly and becomes quite hard and remains so. The peculiar point of {t is that the sun only makes it drier and harder instead of softening it, as might be expected. A biock of the composition two feet long, a foot wide and one inch thich was submitted to severe tests and stood them well. Lalt with an inch or so of its edges only resting on supports it withstood repeated blows of a machine hammer without showing any effects of cracking or bending. —— ---*e0-—____ A North Carolina Ruling. From the San Francisco Argonaut. In North Carolina the judges of the su- perior courts “rotate,” §. e., ride each cir- cuit of the whole state in regular succes- sion. When Judge Shipp of one of the mountain courts, in regular rotation came to ride a circuit on the sea coast, he was much pleased with clams, which were new to him. He had a clam supper, with the result that he had a most violent illness, and could not hold court for two or three days. When able to:sit-on the bench, the first case tried was an affray in which one man used a pistol and the other knocked him down with a clam (in the shell). Manly, appearing for the state, introduced a witness to prove that one clam, so ased, was a deadly weapon. “Stop there, Manly,” said the judge, earnestly; “the court will hear evidence whether or not a pistol is a deadiy weapon, but the court knows with- out further evidence that a clam is.” —-se4——___ Fine Old Cide rom the Boston Commercial Bulletin. “Haow d'ye like that cider?” asked a close old farmer of a poor fellow that he had given a glass instead of a tip for a Job. “Pretty good; but it's a pity you didn't have another apple.” “Another apple! Why?" “Because you could have made another barrel of it, you know.” FOR RESULTS OF EXCESSES Use Horsfcrd’s Acid Phosphate. Dr. R. H. PEPPER, Huntington, W.

An order outlining the official program for the dedicatory services of the Chicka- mauga and Chattanooga National Military Park was issued yesterday by Secretary Lamont. It is as follows: War Department, August 26, 1895. Pur- suant to the act of Congress approved De- cember 15, 1804, the national dedication of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga Na- tional Military Park will take place on the 19th and 20th of September proximo. The veterans, those who have been in- vited, and the public will assemble at Snod- grass Hill, on the battlefield of Chicka- mauga at noon, September 19. Orations will be delivered by Gen. John M. Palmer of Illinois and General John B. Gordon of Georgia. The exercises on the 20th will begin at noon in the city of Chattanooga. Orations will be delivered by General William B. Bate of Tennessee and General Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio. The evenings of both days will be de-’ voted to meetings of the veterans of the armies participating In the two battles. The complete program in detail will be hereafter announced. A water-proof tent covering seats for ten thousand people will be erected in Chattanooga for the meeting of the 20th and both night meetings. The participation in these dedicatory ex- ercises has been recuested of the Presl- dent, of Congress, of the Supreme Court and of the heads of executive departinents, and invitations to be present have been sent to the governors of the states and their staffs. Like invitations are hereby extended to the survivors of the several armies that were engaged in the bettles of Chickamauga and Chatianooga. It is ob- viously impracticable for the Secretary of War to issve individual invitations. The act does not make provisions for transportation, quarters or entertainment. In view of the large attendance which now seems assured, it is suggested that all who expect to be present make imme- diate arrangements for quarters. These can be secured through the Chattanooga citizens’ executive committee. General J. S. Fullerton, chairman of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park commission, is designated as grand marshal of the ceremonies, and will appoirt such marshals and assistants as may be required. General Fullerton is also charged with the preparation for the dedication, and the procurement and dJstribution of such stores, supplies and services as may be needed, and that will be a proper charge against the appropriation of $15,000 for defraying the necessary expenses of the dedication. All proper accounts for the expenditures will be paid by the disbursing clerk of the War Department, but before payment all must be examined and approved by Gen. Fullerton. The band and one battalion of the sixth infantry, the band and _ one battalion of ‘the seventeenth infan- try, the band and one battalion of the third artillery—all under the com- mand of the Meutenant colonel of the third artillery—will encamp on the field of Chickamauga about September Ist prox- imo, and remain until after the ceremonies. The troops will be employed in preserv- ing order within the park and the protec- tion of public property. DANIEL S. LAMONT, Secretary of War. Statement Secured From Waller. Ambassador Eustis has wired the State Department that Newton B. Eustis, second secretary, and Mr. Alexander, counsel of the embassy, have returned from Clair- vaux, where they took down a full state- ment from ex-Consul Waller of his trial and conviction by the French military court at Tamatave. The statement will be forwarded to Washington as soon as pos- sible. —____-e. The Raltimore to Return Home. When the Olympia reaches the Asiatic station she will become the flagship.

From the Boston Post. The proposed gathering of the surviving members of the Palmetto regiment at the cotton states and international exposition will be an ‘nteresting occasion of some hfs- torical importance. After the battle of New Orleans, Gen. Jackson, who was a native of South Carolina, recelved from the la- dies of that city a handsome souvenir vase as a token of their admiration. On his death Gen. Jackson willed the vase to the bravest soldier that South Carolina should send to the next foreign war. The Pal- metio regiment went 1,100 strong to the Mexican war, but only 300 survivors re- turned. A committee was appointed to de- cide which was the bravest of the 300, but where all were Spartans in valor the com- mittee had a hopeless task. The vase then went into the possession of South Carolina and the legislature then undertook to dis- pose of it according to the wishes of Gen. Jackson. The legislature finally disposed of the matter by deciding that the vasa should go to the last survivor of the Pal- metto regiment. There are now only ten or twelve survivors, and their coming to Atlanta will bring a distingulshed group of men. The vase will be exhibited, and will be an object of great interest. It is of solid silver and beautifully embossed, being about eighteen inches high. Judge J. J. Martin of Atlanta, one of the sur- vivors, suggested the gathering, which will doubtless take place. The vase was ex- rab ltea at the New Orleans exposition in ———_+e+______ The Star Out of Town.
