RIVERDALE, A few evenings ago, while Mr. W. A.

Ah Sin on a Wheel. From the Chicago Chronicle. The bicycle craze has reached China- town, New York. A riding school has been established in Mott street for the exclusive use of celestial enthusiasts. Quong Wo Chang, a wealthy merchant, is among these who are learning to ride, but he pre- fers to have his tuition out in the street. The other evening a visitor to Mott street heard an unusual chattering and saw sev- eral Chiramen out in the center of the street. Chang was trying to learn how to ride his steel horse. He had turned up his nose at the idea of riding in a bicycle school, and was ready to practice with his machine on the street. Two children of the orient held the safety in position, while four more lifted Chang bodily and ‘placed him tenderly in the seat, ail talking at ‘once, and those who had nothing else to do gesticulated wildly. After Chang had been seated the two men pushed the bicycle along rapidly to get it in motion and then let go. Chang worked desperately with his feet, his blouse and pigtail flying in the breeze. The steel animal zig-zagged along several feet, and then, as {f suddenly re- membering something, turned squarely around and collided wth a beer keg on the sidewalk. Chang shot over the front wheel. His companions rushed out, hauled Chang out, pulled his clothes out straight and dragged him and his wheel out into the middle of the street again. Once more the caring wheelman was mounted. He sailed away “beautifully” this time, and his friends clapped their hands in delight. He was nearing the end of the stretch and going witk much speed when the hind wheel of the safety reached up and caught him by the cue. The wheel simply drew the cue into its spokes, and was itself drawn up to Chang's head, so that the celestial shot forward on one wheel and landed up against a lamppost. Chang was so badly dislocated that he couldn’t walk back home, so two of his frierds picked him up and carried him away. ——+o+—____ Fight on Horsebac! From the San Francisco Examiner. A royal striped Bengal tiger took some of the shine off the agile maidens who Flunged through paper hoops at the circus lest night. The equine and the tiger were the novelty of the show, which is replete with startling feats of the sawdust arena and elevated stage. Victoria, as the bezst fs called, does a stirring equestrian act on the padded back of an anguisked horse inside of a circular steel cage. Neither the horse nor the tiger seem to enjoy themselves as they should, but the spectators, who completely filled the mammoth tent, applauded the turn. The tiger rides well and jumps through the pzper hoops with all the grace and skill of the young lady in pink tights. But the exercise is extremely wearing on the horse. Three valuable circus steeds died of heart disease, superinduced by fear, while the tiger was training for this amaz- ing act. They never knew what moment they might be killed ard carried off into the jungle. ——_—_-e+—____ An Odd Nesting Place. From an Exchange. If you walk along the road in Loch Shel- Grake you will observe in the garden of one of the residences a pair of boys’ weather- beaten trousers hanging on the clothes line. This, in itself, is no curiosity, but if you knew that in one of its legs a bird had built its tiny nest and reared six little ones, you might open your eyes. This is the vase, and as the owner of the trousers is too humane to disturb the in- genious little builder, the trousers remain there in all sorts of weather. In showing them to visitors, the owner tells how the bird, while they were still damp, cdrried in its little sticks and threads and arranzed them inside, and, when not disturbed, brought its mate and reared their little Lrood. The trousers will probably adorn the gar- den till the snows fall. Perhaps some be- lated sparrow my then fird a cozy home in the forsaken nest and bring its family to occupy it for the winter. see Milks His Cows at Your Door. From the New York Sun. For ten days a man who looks like a granger, and who claims Snake Hill as his bome. has heen peddling “mitk on draught” to the residents of the upper west side “of Harlem, and hae been doing a good busi- ness. The granger-looking man has with him two cows, which he leads through the streets, yelling at the top of his voic “Here you are! Nice fresh milk on tap The charge for the milk is twelve cents a quart and three cents a glass. The majori- ty of his customers seem to be the moth- ers of young children, who watch the milk drawn fresh from the cow without any fear of its being adulterated or skimmed before ft reaches them. When asked how he was getting along, the man replied: “Can't | €omplain. Guees I'll have to double up on my cows if business keeps a-booming.”” see. Bees Came Down on Baby’s Head. From the Philadelphia Press. Two children of John Fehr, residing near Straustown, had a thrilling adventure with a swarm of bees. The insects left the hive in a Jarge, black and variegated balk as is ual when swarming, and alighted upon a two-year- old child, who was pleying in the yard, totally unaware of the danger. An- other child, Merton, aged fourteen years, fortunately realized the dangerous condi- tion of affairs, and having learned that swarms will vacate certain places when a noise is produced, at once secured some tin kettles and hammered upon them with great energy. The din and confusion caus- ed the bees to leave the child unharmed, and in a few moments more the swarm alignted on a large pine tree, where the owner subsequently captured them and placed them in a hive. Neither of the children, singular to relate, had received a single sting. CENTRAL UNION MISSION A Visitor Gives a Sympathetic Account of Its Work. How This Great Agency for Evangeli- cal Work Impresses a Stranger im the City. From the Christian Herald. Whatever may be the testes and pe- culiarities of a visitor to the national cap!- tal, he will find in Washington something to please and interest him. Whetlér he delights in politics, in history, in art, or in some other of the many fields to which he is attracted by natural predilection, educ: tion or association, Washington affords gratification in his peculiar field. It is fit- ting, therefore, that the man in whose life religion occupies the chief place, should also find in Washington something that will fill his soul with joy and stimulate him to emulation in his own neighborhood. He will certainly find thjs if he visits the great building in Louisiana avenue in which the Central Union Mission has its home. Dr. Louis Klopsch, the proprietor of this jcurnal, spent some time there during a recent yisit to Washington, and was aston- ished at tke energy, devotion, wonderful organization and consecrated Christian relf-sacrifice that he witnessed there. The scene and the work are truly phenomena that should interest the student ef human mature. There are meetings in which the ruined gambler, the roue, the drunkard and even the convict may be seen. Audiences in which the miserable victims of almost every kind of moral leprosy are repre- sented. Later on, about midnight, there will be another meeting for those victims of vice who cower in hiding in the day and riot in the night. Going from one person to ancther, Mstening to stories of sin and sorrow and shame, are sympathetic men, ‘Who not enly listen to the sorrowful tale, but tell the victim how he may recover himself and pour into his ear encourage- ment and assurance of victory. It is Christ- ike work, this of raising the fallen and speaking peace to the troubled. The Master delighted in it, and these men follow in His fcotsteps. Nor do they wait to be sought. There are some who during the evening we been out on excursions to various parts of the city, in a gospel wagon, in which is an organ; there has been singing of gospel songs, and they have been giving the gospel invitation to the crowds who gather around the strange vehicle, from the crowded alleys and tenement houses, and from the parks and loafing places of the city. They lead busy lives, these men, who thus labor in Christ's own way. The day is occupied with business of one kind or another, requiring their best thought end their close attention. Some hold re- sponsible positions in the civil service, others are in barks and stores; they are cultured, highly educated men, respected and honored by their assoctates for their intelligence and efficiency. When the hour for qvitting work comes a thousand at- tractive places beckon them with offers of @musement and pleasure. Fashionabie, aristocratic homes would open to them hospitable doors; the most exclusive clubs would welccme them to membership; the concert, the ball room and the theater are cpen to them, but, turning their backs on all, they go to the mission or the mission wagon to try to save souls. It would be difficult to explain their conduct if we did rot know how much men have done and will do, when they can say, “The love of Christ constraineth | Origin of the Work. The mission originated in the sympa- thetic consideration by a few Christian young men of the peculiarities of Washing- ton life. The capital has a magnetic at- traction which is felt in the farthest cor- ners of our broad land. Congressional bus- | iness draws many; the hope of securing government employment attracts other: the desire to associate with people whose talents, wealth or political power have put them in the front rank of American life, Influences others. Far away from their country homes for a longer or shorter period, free fram the restraining influence of the small town where every one knows them, they are an easy prey to the enemies ef their souls. A few young men—less than a dozen— talking over the situation near the end of the year 1884, and deploring the evil, deter- mined to make some effort to remedy it. They thought they could not do much, but = resolved to do what they could. They und a room in Pennsylvania avenue that would hold about seventy-five persuns, and they rented it for a meeting, at which spe- cial effort should be made to preach the Gospel to the worst of sinners. They also arranged to hold street meetings near the place, to invite people into the room. That was the beginning of the movement—the little seed which God blessed and which is now grown to so great a tree—a veritable tree of life for the healing of the nations. The briefest summary of the stages of devlopment is all that is possible in the space at olr command. The first public meeting was held on January 25, 1885. During the very first week, the hearts of the workers were cheered by seeing fruit from their labors. A notorious gambler was converted in the little mission room—a man who gave such clear evidence of the reality of his conversion that no one would doubt it. .He has since led for ten years an exemplary Christian life, the first of a great host to whom the mission has been a spiritual birthplace. During the year 1885 the meetings in the room and on the street were continued. Fifteen persons were known to have been brought in from the open-air services and the workers rejoiced that God was using their humble efforts for the conversion of sinners. The room soon became too small to accommodate the people who attended the meetings, especial- ly on Sunday evenings, and a dime museum was rented for those services. The sum- mer of 1886 saw the beginning of the Gos- pel wagon movement, which has been a wonderful source of good. It was only an old omnibus that was used. Three meet- ings were held in different parts of the city every Sunday afternoon, with most grati- fying results. In one section seventy-five persons, mostly heads of families, were converted, and a branch of the mission, known as “Providence Hall,” was started. The Gospel Wagon. In the spring of 1887 a Gospel wagon was built at a cost of $775. Branches of the mission have been organized in different sections of the city, cottage prayer meet- ings held in the homes of converts, tents erected, homes, hospitals and lodging houses visited, until the Central Union Mis- sion has become in fact the city evangeli- zation society of Washington. From the first it stood as the representative of the churches, and this most cordial reiation has never been disturbed. In January, 1887, a larger hall was secured at 930 Pennsylv: nia avenue for headquarters. The mission soon outgrew this, and on November 1, isp2, the property formerly occupied by the city post office, on Louisiana avenue, was purchased at a cost of $56,000. It was oc- cupied January 1, 1893, while the repairs and remodeling were in progress. Almost every line of work known to Christian en- terprise is being successfully carried on un- der the blessing of God, with the approval and co-operation of the churches. There is a debt of $16,000 in notes of $250 each, which may be paid at any time, and a trust of $30,000. The work of the mission is growing rapidly and the future is full of promise. The valuable work dcne by the mission has won the hearty approval of the church- es of the city of all evangelical denomina- tions. From all quarters have come gifts to enable if to extend and develop the wcrk, and as the directors and chief work- ers regeive no salaries from the mission, the gifts go directly and intact into effect- ive operation. The mission and its branch- es now occupy fourteen buildings in vai ous sections of the city, and last year the number of meetings was 2,170, at which there was an aggregate attendance of 243,- 941 persons. Of these, no less than 1,740 made profession of faith last year, making a total of over 7,000 who have come for- ward to declare themselves on the Lord’s side since the mission was opened. An ex- tensive philanthropic work is carried on in addition to the strictly evangelical serv- ices. Free lodgings, gifts of clothing, an employment bureau, and free meals are all included in this hive of Christian activ- ity. -Some of the Worker: ‘The chairman of the board of directors, Mr. E. D. Batley, is the leader of the evan- gelistic work, and Mr. George W. Havell, the present editor of the Mission Bulletin, is the leader of the music. Mr. Bailey eame to the city twelve years ago as an evange- list and editer of a reformatory paper. After graduating from Wheaton College, TBinais, ‘se “held e professorship sn) the tn stitution for six years, but place to take the field as an Sraceliaes and in this chosen profession he had very marked success. After coming to Wash- ington he accepted a government position, became an examiner in the civil service commission, and devoted his time, outside of office hours, to the mission. Mr. Havell, after devoting some of his best years to evangelistic work in the south, where he suffered many privations on account of the poverty of the people among whom hd labored, took a position as examiner in :hé'pension office, and plu: enthusiastically into mission work. He had already acquired some celebrity as a gospel singer, but his power and capacity for serv- ice were never fully tested until he took the lead of the mission gospel singing, in which field he has few equals in the power to move people by: the presentation of the gespel in song. He is an Englishman by birth, but came to this country when quite young. Mr. George W. Wheeler was one of the five original directors of the mission, and the first secretary. When he came to the city, more than twenty years ago, he was far from being a Christian. He held vari- ous positions at the Capitol in ceanection with eongressional committees, but finally became an expert accountant in the Treas- ury Department. Several years before the mission started he was converted, and at once became an active worker. Naturally enthusiastic and aggressive, he threw hig best energies into the mission work and became one of its most successful workers. Not brilliantly gifted either in or singing, he nevertheless developed a real ability in organizing and conducting meet- irgs, his ability being most marked in the direction of setting others to work. He ‘s leader of the Saturday night meeting, and has charge of the very useful and success- ful midnight mission work. r. J. H. Hitehcock’s name cannot be mentioned without a pang. He was chair- man of the board of directors from the be- girning until September 10, 1804, when God called him from service on earth to His presence. One of the kindest, most tactful of men, his ear was ever open to the troubles of others, and his heart and hand were in their relief. His death was a loss to the mission that was severely felt by his colleagues. Maj. George A. Hilton is another well- known mission worker. His evangelistic work called him away from Washington scon after the mission entered on its wider work, but in the hard and difficult task of the opening and the plans for its earlier operaticns, Maj. Hilton’s energy and ferille brain were invaluable. Maj. Hilton is a New Yorker; he served in the war, and thirty years ago learned, by sad _experi- ence, the need of such efforts as the mis- sion is making. Struggling frantically to rid himself of the chains that a dissipated life in Washington was binding around him, he failed again and again, and would have sunk in despair but for the grace of God. Maj. Hilton is now president of the National Gospel Mission Union, an organ- ization desigaed to assist in planting such missions as the one in Washington in every city in our land. Maj. Hilton has the cor- dial support in this national movement of a bozrd of electors, composed of Christian laymen, including such well-known workers as Mr. C. N. Crittenton, Rev. Stephen Mer- ritt, Mr. A. W. Dennet and the proprietor of this journal. _———— IN UNEXPLORED CHICAGO. Postmaster Hering Lost While Trying: to Discover Some Branch Offices. From the Chicago Recard. One day last week Washington Hesing, postmaster of Chicago, was lost in one of the city’s pathless forests. For hours he and the party .with him wandered ubout seeking for someyhuman habitation where they might inquire,the way to the Chicago post office. Byt;when at last they sighted the lonely cabin.of,a frontiersman and ask- ed him a question, he answered in Polish and they coukin’t. understand him. Later they found a man working in a cornfield. “My man,” said:the postmaster, will you tell me the way to the city “Who be you?’ was the response. “My name is, Hesing. I’m postmaster of Chicago. “Never heard, of you.” And this was what surprised the post- master even more;than being lost. He said he thought the man was far below the average in intelligence. Postmaster Hesing has lived in Chicago all his life, and he re- ‘gards himself. go cbeing as familiar with every part of the city as any man in it. He has seen it. made, so to speak. Every few weeks.the postmaster, his pri- vate secretary and a few other officials make the rounds of the branch offices to see how the work is being done. In the down-town districts, where the street car companies are competing for patronage, this is a comparatively easy matter, but Chi- eago is a big city, and it is an entirely dif- ferent task to reach its uttermost corners. Last week the postmaster went to Pull- man, and, having inspected the office there, concluded to penetrate deep into the wilds beyond. A carriage was hired and the driver was directed to go to Riverdale. Now, Riverdale lies in the extreme south- westerly corner of the city, almost twenty miles by road from the heart of Chicago. Most of the people who get their mail there are farmers, for that part of the city from 130th street to 140th street can be used to excellent advantage for raising cabbages and onions. The tmaster’s party reach- ed Riverdale without mishag, although at each turn of the sandy road they all felt as if they were discovering some unknown country. From Riverdale it is about four miles as the crow flies to Hegewisch, in the extreme southeasterly corner of Chicaga, and within a short distance of the Indiana state line. There is no direct line of transit between the two places, and the country is a waste of swamps, sand hills and scrab-oak for- ests. A few meandering country rozds cut through it here and there. “Do you think you can find your way?” asked the postmaster anxiously. The driver was certain that he could So the party set out, and although it was a hot afternoon they couldn't help enjoying the rural scenes about them. The horses plodded along in the sand for an hour, but there was no sign of Hege- wisch. Once they crossed a river and once a railroad, and then, ddenly, the road stopped at a fence, behifld which there was a cornfield. So they all got out, and, al- though the road was rarrow, the driver succeeded in turning around. Then they drove and drove until they finally approached a town. “This is Hegewisch,” said the postmaster. But it was Hammond, Ind. So the driver turned to the north and Grove in and out through the country roads. Finally they reached a place where there Wate a wide marsh on one side and a forest on the other. Then they came to some bars, which the driver got out and let down. He said he didn’t know where he was. “We are lost,” groaned the postmaster, despair in his voice, for it was almost din- ner time. At last they came to a lake, and a native said that it was Wolf lake, after confessing that he had never heard of Post- master Hesing. About four hours after leaving Riverdale the party reached Hegewisch safe and with a heightened idea as to the immensity of the rural districts of Chicago. 2S A Stpry of Lincoln. From the Chicago Herald. “At the timeyof the convention in 1800,” says C. C. Brown pf Springfleld, “nearly all the lawyers apd politicians in Springfleld had gone to Chicago. There had been a fire up above,, fhe! aa office, on 6th street, north pf the square, and Lincoln, with several pin was up there in the forenoon playitg Yall—throwing a ball up agairst the britk Wall that was still stand- ing and catching if on the rebound. Funny, wan't it? Lincoln was playing bail on & public street, 4 his coat off, while Greeley and ‘Wweediand all the rest of the giarts were mipyifig heaven and earth to nominate him fn a, nattonal convention at Chicago. “At half- ee 11 saw him going home with a piece of beefsteak, wrapped up in a brown paper, s was his habit. Early ‘n e afternoon the telegram announcing his mination was received, and the town went wild with congratulations. No, he waen’t playing ball when it came, and I don’t think he said ‘There's a little woman more interested in this than I am,’ and hurry home, as has been stated. The Star Out of.Town.

Baltimore Found It an Unprofitable Reminder of Loss. From the Baltimore American. The inscription and flood line on the stone in front of the Maryland Institute were erased on Thursday by order of the man- agers of the institute. The managers de- cided that the presence of the flood mark was detrimental to the interests of prop- erty owners in the neighborhood. It was argued Ly those who have been urging the erasure for many years that strangers were shy of buying property in that locality, as the flood mark suggested to them the pos- sibility of a recurrence. It is said that one out-of-town business man was about to purchase property in the neighborhood, when he accidentally saw the piece of mar- ble, indicating how high the water had risen during the flood. He asked some questions and the sale was not made. Property holders have also objected to the presence of the stone. The stone remains in the wall, but the inscription giving the date of the flood and the line have been eut out. The flood occurred on July 24, 1863, when a raging torrent from Jones’ Falls flowed through Harrison street, and was nearly as high as the top of the lamp posts. The piece of marble marked its extreme height. Over 2,000 cellars and first floors were flooded. The passengers of a Gay street car were in the water up to their armpits. The car and passengers were carried down Harrison street to Fayette. Debris was piled many feet high in front of the Mary- land Institute, and the market was swept out. Crichton’s whisky distillery was de- stroyed and Long Dock bridge was covered cver with wreckage. Charles, Fayette, Monument, Madison, Centre, Hillen and Swann street bridges were carried away. The flood spread over an area of two square miles and did much damage. “Ta 1868 Jones’ Falls was not confined and had a full sweep. A heavy rain.caused the stream to overflow its banks. Since then millions of dollars have been spent in build- ing walls of the stoutest masonry all the way along the falls on both sides, and as far north as Union station. The flood of 1889, when Johnstown, Penn., was swept away, was much greater here in Baltimore than was the flood of 1868, yet Jones’ Falls was confined.to its bed, and its surface was many feet below the top of the walls. Property has steadily advanced in value ali around Jones’ Falls, and it is just as safe from overflow as if it stood on Mount meen ee AUCTION SALES. THIS AFTERNOON. DUNCANSON BHOS., AUCTIONEERS.
