From the St. Louis Globe-Demorrat. ads ‘A new rider with a new wheel is as airy and imaginative as the traditional boy with his first pair of trousers. One of the new rider's most laughable hallucinations fs that, by purchasing a wheef, he has be- come economical instead of extravagant. It Is customary to hear the new rider de- fend himself from the charges of extrava- gance in the purchase of a bicycle by the declaration that he will, by the use of it, soon save in car fares alone more than the wheel's cost. Let no man delude himself with any such dea. Supposing it -were possible for him to ride a bicycle to and from his work each of the 300 working da: in the year—and such a supposition is away beyond the probabilities in the case—he would store up in car fare savings but $10 per annum, at walch rate it would take just three years and foult wiofiths for him to garner the $100 pile his wheel had cost j him. | ‘Therefcre, such arguments are fallacious, and should at once and forever be abandon- ed. Don't hide behind a subterfuge so weak as this car fare allegation. honest with yourself and the world; say St right out, so all may hear you, taat you have bought a wheel because you want to ride one, be- cause of the pleasure it glves and the wider scope it glves you when an outing 1s poss ble. If that is not sufficient to silence those who criticise you, leave them to their ways and go yours awheel, satisfled that your investment In a bicyele yields you never- failing dividends of health azd happiness. SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA. Word has been received here that the memory of the late Frederick Douglass, whose home, as is well known, was in Ana- costia, is to be perpetuated by the colored Feople of Alexandria, Va., who have laid out and will soon dedicate with appropriate ceremonies a beautiful burying ground, to be called Douglass cemetery. A suitable plot in the center of the cemetery will be reserved as a site for a monument to Mr. Douglass, and an appeal for funds for this purpose will shortly be made to the country at large. The handsome residence of Mr. Richard Leapley, near Forestville, Md., with its en- tre contents, was totally destroyed by fire a couple of days ago. It is supposed the ac- cident was caused by a defective flue. The less was about $5,000, on which there was insurance amounting to $2,500. ‘The social committee of the Young Peo- ple’s Society of Christian Endeavor of Gar- den Memorial Church, of which Mrs. Sadie Eileen Poates is chairman, is busily en- gaged preparing for their next entertain- ment. At their social of last week the fol- lowing program was rendered: Organ volun- tary, Mr. Fulton Karr; recitation, Mr. B. Bryan; organ solo, Mrs. M. P. Snell; vocal solo, Miss Jessie Darling; reading, Mrs. M. M. North; recitation, Mr. Frank Tchannon of Washington; organ solo, Mrs. Sadie E. Poates; address on “‘Sociaility,” Mr. Chas. R. Robinson. Mr. H. A. Linger, sr., superintendent of the Anacost'a M. B. Sunday school, has be- gun his prepzrations for the usual enter- tainment given on the evening of Thanks- giving day by the children. This is a mat- ter in which Mr. Linger takes great inter- est, and heretofore the results have been that a large audience has attended and every one been pleased. >_—— . ROCKVILLE. In the cases of E. and E. Baltzley agt. the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac- turing Company, and of the Johnson Com- pany agt. James B. Henderson and others, involving the sale of the Glen Eché electric railway and the Tenleytown and Rockville electric railroad, argued here last week on motions to dissolve injunctions restraining said sales, Judge Lynch of the circuit court Saturday rendered a decision in cach case dissolving the injunction and giving the trustees power to proceed with the sales. What came near proving a disastrous conflagration occurred Saturday on the farm of the late Chancellor Keys, about one mile from this place. A spark from the enging of a passing train on the railroad, which runs through the place, set tire to the dry grass and weeds alongside the track, and, the wind being high, soon a space of several acres was in a blaze. A large crowd of people soon assembled, and by hard work for several hours prevented the flames from reaching the dwelling house and other buildings on the farm. A tot of fencing and other property was burned. The following transfers of real estate were last week recorded in the office of the clerk of the circuit cgurt: Charles G. Porter to Savings Institution of Sandy Spring, lot in Brookeville; $375. E. and E. Baltzley to Frank A. Burger, lot in Glen Echo; $1,200. Edwin Baltzley to Catharine S. Pratt, lot in Glen Echo; $1,200. Richard Harper to United States, part of an acre of land; $572. Joseph H. Lewis to James W. Boyer, 157 1-4 acres of land; $2,500, Jno. C. Lyddard to George L. Lamson, 3 5-8 acres; $—. Howard Garrett to Wm. T. Redden, 5 1-3 acres of land; $100. Catherine Cook to Wm. Rudd, 16 acres of land; $—. Joseph W. Moyer to Josephine I. Pine, two lots at Glen Echo; $2,400. Wm. Reading to Chas. E. Ting- strum, 2 acres on Chesapeake and Ohio canal; $113. Jas. Harper to United States, two-thirds of an acre on Washington aque- duct; $1,575. Charles H. Brooke to Henry €. Sherman, one-third of an acre; $— Charles B. Henry to Edgar L. Grimes, 35 acres of land; $280. Wm. Norwood to L. E. Grimes, 25 1-3 acres of land; $200. Mary Copp to Marion V. McArdle, jot at Ken Gar; $300. Same to Edw. J. Jennings, two lots at Ken Gar; $600. A rather singular accident happened to a load of hay which was being taken to the Washington market Saturday on a wagon owned by Mr. J. Hilliary Bogley of this county. When a short distance this side of Tenloytown on the Georgetown pike the teamster discovered that his load was in a blaze, and he had much difficulty in getting the team of horses from the wagon. The entire load of hay and vehicle were de- stroyed. The origin of the fire is attributed to friction caused by a portion of the wagon coming in contact with on2 of the wheels. The ladies of Poolesville and vicinity will give a cantata, entitled “The Flower Queen,” at the town hall, that place, on the evening of Friday, November 1,’ the Proceeds to be devoted to the town hall fund. All-day services were held in the Baptist Church at this place yesterday, a large congregation being in attendance. Sermons were delivered by the resident pastor, Rev. L. R. Milbourne, and Rev. J. T. Edmonsun of Baltimore. Mrs. Wm. Sibley of Washington and Miss May Leaman of Baltimore, who have been visiting friends im the vicinity of Boyd's Station, returned to their homes last week. ‘The marriage of Mr. James Burdette and Miss Mamie Etchison will take place in Methodist Church at Damascus on Tues- day, the 22d instant. Rey. Wm. Hammond and wife are visit- ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Price at Hyattstown. eee = CLARKSBURG. There was an Epworth League rally at Clarksburg M. E. Church last night. The chapters from Clarksburg, Hyattstown and Browningsville meetirg in joint service. Rev. J. W. Steele is pastor of the church, and is an enthusiastic Epworth Leaguer, and through his efforts the service was planned. Mr. W. B. Matthews, the district president, and Mr. F. T. Israel, the district secretary, from Washington, were present and addressed the audience on the work of the Epworth League. There was a large congregation. The singing, under the lead- ership of Prof. W. R. Windsor, precentor of the church, was very fine. Mr. O. S. Layton, an aged and respected izen of Montgomery county, died at his near Clarksburg, last Friday, illness of only eight days, from pneumonia. He was an official mem- ber of*the M. E. Church at this place. He was buried from the church yesterday morning, and his funeral was the largest even seen in this town. The political pot is at fever heat. There never was so much activity as now. The democrats held a largely attended meeting in Gibson Hall last Saturday night. Speech- cs were made by Mr. C. C. Rhodes of Balti- more and Messrs. Alex. Kilgour and Jas. A. Henderson of Rockville. Next Saturday the republicans meet here and expect a large iS residence, after an Ajgousing republican meeting for the purpose of ratifying the state and county tick#ts was held last Saturday night at the Palg Alto House in Bladensburg. The stand; was decorated with American flags and the yard was illumirated with numer- ous lamps. A portion of the Marine Band, under the leadership of Prof. Steniche, | played patriotic airs during the intermis- sions bet@een the speeches. The meeting was called to order by John W. Belt, chair- man of the state central committee for Prince George’s county. Mr. Db. E. Graves of Bladensburg was chosen as chairman. The following vice presidents were select- ed: F. H. Smith, George N. Walker, F. A. Holden, R. V. Hall, Wm. A. Meloy, M. V. Tierney. The secretaries were Lewis O. Wissman, Lewis W. Richardson and P. E. Stubbs. Speeches were made by the chair- man and by John W. Belt, Wm. A. Meloy, P. P. Castle, Capt. Wm. Potter, George Holmes, Capt. Roger Bellis, Richard Law, F. A. Holde1, Richard Ryon and Lewis O. Wissman. It is rumored that the managers of the new electric railway between Washington and Laurel intend to change their present route through the center of Hyattsville and go further to the west of the town, taking their old route, which will go through Fenwick's place at Highlands, the old Evans addition to Hyattsville, F. H. Smith's place, Wine and Johnson’s new subdivision and the prcperties of F. J. Gramlich and Addison M. Smith in this village, going thence to Riverdale: The surveyors are making a survey of this route. It is said that the managers of the road have ordered their. lawyers to stop examining the titles to the property in the lower part of Hyattsville through which they had intended the route to pass. It is also said that the changé-of this-route is caused by the people having set too high a valuation upon their ‘’property, as it would cost the company about $30,000 to go through the center of Hyattsville. Some of the property holders in the lower part of the town seem to be very‘much concerned over the rumor, and many of the citizens who are anxious for thé’ railroad to g0 through this part of the town regret this action on the part of the managers. Edward F. Mangum, thé"little son of Mr. and Mrs. James Mangum’ of Bladensburg, died in that village yester@ay. The walls of the first Story of the new Masonic Temple in this Village have been ccmpleted, and work is ‘how being com- menced on the second story. A number of heavy ron beams have artived and are be- ing placed over’the first story, in order to moke the floor strong. The ceiling of the first story will be seventéen feet in the clear, and the dimension$ of the room which will compose the néW'town hall will be thirty-eight by sixty-four feet independ- ent of the stage and vestibule. The second stcry will compose the hall in which the lodge meetings will he held. This temple, when completed, will be one of the finest structures of the kind in the state outside of Baltimore.

A very successful fair and bazaar given by the ladies of Woodside for the benefit of the rectory of Grace Episcopal Church was held at Irving Hall, Linden, Wednes- day evening last, at which the handsome sum of $125 was realized over and above all expenses, to the gratification of the members of the church who originated and participated in the laudable enterprise. Among the pleasures afforded those who patronized the fair was an instrumental solo by Miss Henrietta Smedes, instrument- al solo by Mrs. J. E. Benedict, vocal solos by Mrs. T. C.

Local Notes of General and Special: Interest. There was an alarm of fire yesterday morning, caused by the partial burning of a row of frame houses on the north side of Queen street between Columbus and Alfred streets. The origin of the fire is supposed to be from a defective flue. Th loss, in- cluding the household effects, will amount to about $500, partly insured. The greatest loss was caused by water and the destruc- tion of household effects. During the pro- gress of the fire Policeman Hall detected a colored girl named Lizzie Lewis stealing towels from a bureau drawer which had been carried from one of the burning build- ings. He carried her to the station house and locked her up. Mr. Lewis Weil, who has been ill for some time, occupied one of the houses, and, if it had not been for the heroic actions of the firemen, he would have been suffocated, as it was not known at first that he was in one of the burning buildings. He was carried to the infirmary. Charges Preferred. Jos. J. Bradley, driver of the hose wagon of the Hydraulion Fire Company, was Sat- urday suspended by Mr. Geo. R. Hill, pres- ident of the board of fire wardens, pending an investigation into charges of drunken- ress preferred against him.

Berryman Green, pastor of St.James’ Episcopal Church, Leesburg, has been call- ed to the rectorship of old Christ Church, this city, made vacant by the death of Rev. Henderson Suter.

Then he ad- dressed himself directly to those present, pointing out the fundamental significance of the fact of sex, its universal presence and fateful sway over human life. In rapid outline he sketched the pari played by this one form of transgression in tho history of the world, and the mischief wrought today in every community. A number of popular heresies and age-long fallacies were pointed out, such as the double standard of morals, the wild-oats theory, and the perversion of marriage. ‘The sacredness of fatherhood was dwelt upon at some length, and the possibility of living a right life. The audience was a representative one and Msienxed most al tentively and witif evident profit. — Seriously Injured. Robert H.
