VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS all imporities. $1 a bos, The publication of the various routes to outlyiag points for the benefit of wheel- men, ard the detailed description of the roads, in The Star, has proven to be im- mensely popular with a majority ot cyclists in this city of both sexes, The object was rot so much to encourage road riding as It Was to enlighten the general riding public on the condition of the various highways and thus enlarge their riding territory and give room for additional exercise. Since the publication of these articles a number of suggestions have been received. There are many people who ride bicycles, but whose time to devote to this pleasant astime is limited. Consequently they are unable to avail themselvgs of an all-day trip, and have to be content with riding erourd the city and in the outskirts. From this class of people a number of requests have come for a description of short rides, which can be made in a_ half day, or shorter trips, which would afford the means of spending a few pleasant hours on summer evenings. For the benefit of this class and for the edification of all cyclists a series of articles will be published, tak- ing in all the territory within a radius of six or eight miles from the city, giving a description of the roads and showing the “Complete Flour.” The color is a_ brilliant white.

This highway runs from 35th street and ends in the Canal road, about a mile and a half from_the Cnain bridge, crossing in its journey Foxhall, Ridge and the Conduit roads. Its total length is about two miles. The road is mainly con- structed of macadam, but in its lower end clay forms the road surface and bed. The || macadamized portion runs from the be- ginning to the intersection with the Ridge read; from this place, macadam, gravel ad clay, ta the Conduit road and te the Canal road, clay. Ridge and Loughborough Roads. The Ridge road—This road is perhaps not quite a half mile longer than the New Cut read, and during its course It enjoys two different names, the lower half being known as the Foxhall road, so named in hcnor of a colonial celebrity, w north- ward from the intersection of the New Cut read it is known as the Ridge road.

Throughout its course the road is in fair condition, some places excellent, -and is always ridable. The lower half is of dirt and gravel, and, though these are the chief components, almost the entire length the read in some places is macadamized. The Loughborough road—This road runs frem the Tenleytown road or Wisconsin ue to the Conduit road, and is a small ion over three miles in length. A raight road would only be one-half the tance, but the road makes several deep curves, Which approximately doubles its lergth. At the Tenleytown road it is really a continuation of the Pierce Mill road, while at its other end the road runs in the Conduit, just between the girls’ reform school and the receiving, or Dalecarlia, reservoir. For the greater part of its length the road is macadamized, though dirt and gravel ar: seen frequently. The last portion lies between the Tenleytown and the Ridge roads. Up to a short time ago the balance of the road made rather peor riding, but the road has been im- proved since the erection of the reform school, and now is about as good riding as the other section. Thig road south of the Ridge road was known as the Chain Bridge road, In fact, it is still known as such, and at the intersection of the roads and old and weatherbeaten sign gave names of the road. Tanlaw and Canal Ronds. The Tunlaw road—This road is regarded as a back road and runs almost parallel with 32d street extended, alias Wisconsin avenue, alias Tenleytown road. The road proper begins at right angles with 32d street, just opposite the old power house of the Georgetown and Tenteytown electric ilway. Since the laying out of the sub- ion known as Burleigh 36th street has been opened and so extended as to run to the Tunlaw road. This road is the favorite highway for driving, horses becomi: frightened by the electric cars on d street extended. The road: proper extends from 32d street to the Loughborough road, and is about the length of the New Cut road. 4n extensicn of the highway runs north of the Loughborough road and runs to the mouth of Mill creek, which formerly ran into the Dalecarlia reservoir. The ex- tension fs, however, an old wagon path, but very little used by vehicles, and af- fords but poor bicycle riding. Approxi- mately, the extension equals the length of the road proper. The road is principally dirt and gravel, with few places macad- amized, and some stretches of clay, of ve little length, however. The road is always ridable, and is good in-dry and ordinary Weather, but sloppy in wet weather. The Canal road—This road is perhaps used more extensively than any other roud leading into Georgetown. It begins at the Aqueduct or Free bridge and ends at the Chain bridge, and the distance ts cal- culated to be three miles, though, if any- thing, it is somewhat less. The road is the only inlet of any good to the farmers and dsirymen frem Langley, Lewinsville and other poirts in Virginia, and, on ac- count of the héavy traffic, is more or less cut up and rutty. Though this may be the case, there are plenty of side paths which can be used for bicycle riding. There is a disadvantago, however, in using this road after nightfall, when the cyclist fs un- able to keep on the paths. The road is main- ly macademized its whole length, some por- tions of it having received more recent re- pairs, while in other portions the macudam has been so worn off as to expose the clay subsoil. However, the road Is at all times ridable. ‘These fine roads all lie inside the District line, and consequently the repairing of the same falls upon the District govern- aD! ry ie OKVN.LE, “Ero, ment. The roads are fairly attended to from a cyclist’s point of view. It can be said that none of the public roads in the District are unridable, and this means a good deal when fully considered. It will be noticed that in the map there are a number of roads unnamed but mark- ed with an X. These are private wagon ways, some of which have been extended from road to road for convenience. For wagons they, as a rule, make poor routes, and, as a rule, for cycling they are in- finitely worse. ———_—_ WILD HORSE JERRY. cresting Western Character Defied 2 Storm on the Plains, From the Buffalo Express. he most interesting character I ever knew I met last summer in Greeley, Weld county, Col.” said W. C. Boerner of Den- ver. “He has caught more wild horses in is day than any other man living. His real name is Jeremiah Smith, but every- body around Greeley knows him as Wild Horse Jerry. He has a little ranch down on the banks of the Platte about ten miles east of the town, and it was there that I met him. I was riding from Lovelands to Sterling. I stopped at Jerry’s house for the night, and that evening, before we turned into bed, he told me something about his experiences. He {ts quite an old man now, but he is still very active and can ride 100 miles in a day easily enough. “It was over thirty years ago that ke started out as a wild horse catcher. Since that time he has caught over 1,000 horses, and he has broken every one of them to the saddle. He has ridden for three days and nights steadily after some _ particulariy wary band of horses, stopping only to change horses. It takes a man with an iron constitulion to do that, and he is one of the mest powerful men in the country. He is under medium height, but the muscles stand out all over his body. “Once, he teld me, he was far out on the plains in midwinter witn a young German. They were miles away from any ranch, hen they were caught in a snow storm. 'Yhe only thing to do when a storm like that strikes you way out on the plains and the thermometer ts way down below zero, is to roll yourself fn your blankets and Tie down and wait until the storm is over, and the weather gets warmer. ‘I is what they did. The sncw piled up over them and kept them warm, but they knew It would be as much as their Nves were worth to get up and try to continue their journey, The snow down #0 thick and fast that they n't a foot ahead of them.

WHEN THE LIBRARY 1S REMOVED The Present Quarters andthe Space in the New Building. SOME RECOMMENDATIONS In addition to what has already been printed in The Star of the special report made to Congress by Mr. A. R. Spofford, the librarian of Congress, the: following’ ex- tracts will be found to be of interest: “It remains to advert briefly to the ques- tion included in the instruction of Congress to the librarian as to the expediency of re- moving the law library to the new building. While the ultimate accommodations of this department In that edifice may be deemed highly desirable, yet so long as the Su- preme Court continues its sessions in the Capitol the undersigned belleves that the convenience of that tribural, as well as of Congress, would be best subserved by con- tinuing ths law library in its present loca- tion, or, perhaps, accommodating it in one of the upper halls to be vacated. “The uses to which the space in the ex- isting Library of Congress may be applied after the removal demand the careful con- sideration of Congress. It is suggested t a working reference library of from 10,000 to 20,000 volumes might usefully be left in the central library hall, where Senators and Representatives could enjoy a quiet epportunity for researches in preparing their® reports and speeches, free from the Intrusion of the public. This selection of volumes might include not only the princi- pal encyclopedias, dicticnaries and other works of reference, but also one copy of the more important American ard British authors. This could be dore irom the du- fiicates of the main library, which would thus remain unimpaired as a lbrary of reference. The two wings of the library, with their iron shelving, are admirabiy adapted for the orderly arrangement and safe reservation of the very valuable manuscript archives of the Senate and House, now exposed in rooms which are far from fire proof. The Senate document- ary library might also be accommodated in one of the wings, without materially in- terfering with the use referred to, The further suggestion occurs of making more room; for the committees of Congress, and, in the judgment of the architect of the Capitol, about twelve such rooms (six in each wirg) might be fitted up, .although this would quite preclude the proposed safekeeping of the papers of Congress. The subject is commended to the attention of both houses. “The librarian may be permitted to add, in connection with the auspicious epening, at a time not now remote, of the new and commodious library building, that Its public usefulness would be greatly enhanced were Congress to provide for making its stores accessible to the public during the evening hoiirs. While it.is neither safe nor expe- dient to make it a library of circulation, which is Incompatible with Its uses as a great and comprehensive library of refer- ence, there appears no good rcason why its advantages should not be as liberally extended to the people as is compatible with its safety and preservation. “In conclusion, the undersigned, wiile dls- claiming for himself any merit in connec- tion with the new building, cherishes just satisfaction in the reflection that he has contributed, in some degree, to the build- ing up of the great collection which worthi- ly represents the intellectual product of America, and, with the liberal, fostering re of Congress, will yet be filled with the learning of all lands. Compared With Other Libraries, “He desires, however, to place before Con- gress some view of the relative expenditure in other Hbraries and departments, that tt may be seen how extremely small has been the working force allowed in the Library of Cangress. The Boston public brary, with two-thirds as many volumes, and no copy- right business, hes 140 employes. The Con- gressional Library had in 1880. twenty- four employes; in 1885, twenty-five; in 1890, twenty-six, and in 1895 it has thirty-eight, of whom five, however, are employed in the detached service in the law library and the Smithsonia hanges. ‘The British Museum, with no copyright business and no circulation, but with 1,600,- Goo volumes, exhibits of antiqu nts eight de- engi elec- , window cleaners, p xpenditure in salaries is in books, $60,000, and in binding, $45,000, mugeum has long been buying up, ve their weight in gold, the of the Englisn press in past been an ef- there would be no which, had there alw ht flaw, eetual cop jon to purchase.

The structure com- bines, to aWegree not previously reached in any extensive library building, the requi- sites of great capacity, economy of storag abundant light, good ventilation, convenie: access, and arrangements for prompt and econémic service to 1 rs. “Ample room exists in the new building for the orderly arrangement of the accumu- lated copyright publications of the past, and for th of more than a century to come. It is proposed to devote one of the larger rooms in the library to the reception of the copyright archives, and another to right office, with all the state and nutional records assembled, where the work of ering, indexing, searching and veri- fying is carried gn. > The Rending Room. “The catalogue department of the library demands a space which is liberally provided for in the commodious rooms adjoining the reading room. The card catalogue, in an extensive series of drawers specially adapt- ed, will be arranged in the center of the reading room, where the library service calls for its incessant use. Around this center, where the su ferce of attendants will be stationed, com- modious desks for readers preparing their hook tickets, and shelves filléd with an ey tensive serles of printed catalogues clopaedias, bibliographies, indexes, aries, directories, atis and other works of reference, will be arranged. The desks seats for the readers, about two hun- 1in number, disposed in concentric tiers, with ample spaces between for transit and for library service, will fill up the remain- der of the reading hall. The sight-seeing public, who do not come for purpose of study, but to Inspect the building, will be excluded from this room, but will have am- ple opportunity to view it from the long, open corridors in the first gallery surround- ing it, without disturbance to readers. “The central reading room and the li- brarian’s office adjoining will be connected by telephone with the Senate and House of Representatives.

These should be exhibited in glass cases, with suitable inscriptions, and will consti- tute a museum of the arts of typography, Llvstration, etc., of much interest and value. For these galleries and other rooms throughout the building, furniture and fit- tings will need to be provided by Congress, an estimate for which was sent in by the librarian on October J, in his annual estl- mates rendered to the treasury. The large number of reading desks req reading room, as well as the i rs drawers for the card catalogue, have been provided for out of the fund for construc- ; tlon of the library building.. The same is true of the vast amount of artistic work in the interior finish of the building, so uni- versally admired. Great credit is due to Gen. Thomas Lincoln Casey, late chief of engineers, under whose official charge and that of his assistant, B. R. Green, C. E., the work upon this monumental edifice has gone forward. “Two commodious and elegantly finished honky Christmas a issue of reading rooms for the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively, have been pronced in the western front of the build- “On the upper floor are rooms for a res- taurant and its appliances, designed to ac- commodate the reading public ployes of the library.

The latter’ pro- vision, long needed as an adjunct to the li- brary, to avoid the risks and wear and tear or possible loss by fire in sending out its treasures for binding, may readily be equip- ped by detail from the government bindery, as already done in some of the depart- ments.”" —_———_+ e+ —______ STORY OF A HORSE. Badly Wounded in Battle, He Still Performed His Daty. From the Chicago ‘Times-Herald. Here is a horse story told me by James F. Lyen of the first cavalry, who had no superior in valor and will carry to the grave a limp and a quarter of a pound of lead. He said: “We hed in our company a young German named Schultz. His horse was his especial pride. Sometimes Schultz went to sleep without rations, but bis horse neve No matter how scarce or hcw hard it was to get forage, the young German's horse always had an evening feed, a thorough rubbing down, a loving pat and a ‘Good- night, Frank,’ in two larguages—broken Snglish and German. Many a time have I seen Schultz ekirmish for a lunch for his herse when we halted to make coffee in- stead of preparing iis own lunch, “While the rest of us stayed in our tents and read or played cards Schultz would ke=p Frank company for hours, someumes tal. ing German to him and sometimes English. Some of our horses showed lack of car Frank’s showed overeare; was always ii gcod order; in camp he glistened like a new plug hat, and seemed as fond of his master as his master of him. When’ the Atlanta campaign opened, in May, 1864, there was not a prouder soldicr or a prettier horse than Schultz and Frank in the first. “Our fest fi t of note in that campaign was at Varnell’s Station, May 9. Somebody —never mind who—made a mess of it. Our little brigade, the second, of the first cav- alry division, consisting of the second and fourth Indiana and the first_ Wisconsin, commanded by Col. O. H. La Grange, was thrown against Gen. Joe Wheeler's entire command, and we fought it all day. We started to charge, but were halted in a piece of woods and were crdered to fight on foot. We were already under fire and in consider- able confusion, and only a portion of the command heard the order, so it happened that some of us fought as cavalry and some as infantry. “Schultz remained mounted. and did herole service. Early in the fight his pet was shot. As the animal made but little fuss over it and steadied down quickly, his rider thought it was only a slight wound, and remained in the battle all day, having traveled many miles in the performance of important and Cargerous tasks, the wounded animal seem- ing to enter into the spirit of the work as completely as his master. That night, at 9 o'clock, the brigade camped. The moment Frank was unsaddled he lay down. Schultz thought it was because the horse, like him- self, Was tiredy and, after patting him and telling him in béth languages what a splen- did fellow he had been that day, and thank- ing him for carrying him safely through one of the hottest iattles, ke busied himself with supper retting. n the foruge bag were several extra dirs of corn, After his Own repast of black coffee, crackers and uncooked white pork, such a banquet as many a soldier has been more thankful for than he was for the feast of last Thanksgiving, Schultz shelled the corn and took it to Frank. The horse did not welcome him as usual; did not rest his head on the master’s shoulder and look, if he did not s such a master. He didn't hear Schultz a nee in German that he was coming with a double ration. Frank was dead and stiffening, showing that soon after lying down life had departed. “When Schultz realized that his pet was dead he threw the corn down, dropped by the side of the animal, tenderly laid one hand gn his neck, and with the other gently rubbed his head, as he had done many times Lefore, and sobbed like a child. In talking about his loss the next Gay he said: ‘My poor Frank couldn't tell me he was badly hurt, and ask to go to the hospital, as I would have done had I been shot. He car- ried me all day as if he thought it was his duty, and that things would go wrong if he didn’t, and when the battle was over and I’ was getting supper he lay down and died. That horse was a better soldier than I am— than any man in the regiment. Not one of us would have fought all day with such a rt as that. No one would have expected it of us; yet I expected it of Frank, and he did not fail me. I shall never think as much of anything again as long as I live.’ With this outburst the poor fellow broke down again, and none of his comrades made light of the orrow—they knew it was sincer —se0 UP A TREE.

GIBSON story of a woman with a mystery begins in the THE LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL 10 Cents: On All News-stands The Curtis Publishing Company, Philadelphia COPYRIGHT, 1895, BY THE CURTIS PUBLISHING COMPANY there lived a man who had a wife and daughter. He seemed prosperous and his credit was good for anything he desired. One fine starlight night he disappeared, taking with him nearly everything that wasn’t nailed down. He had made about every man in town a creditor, and when he went away the people betook themselves into outer darkness for a while and wailed and gnashed their teeth. The wife and daughter were treated the same as the rest. They found themselves destitute. The fiend in human form who nad so long oificiated as husband and father had left them not deliar. The lady and her daughter w: of course, Icoked coldly upon for a while, as people believed them to be in collusion with the departed, But they were not depressed by this. They went manfully to work like heroines in a play; the mother did sewing and the daughter did whatever she could get to do. They prospered as they deserved to prosper. The older heroine in time es- tablished a millinery store, which captured all the trade, while the younger became principal of the schools. They had money in the bank and could eat ice cream when- ever they wanted to. The other day a scedy tramp called at the back door of the lady's residence and asked for a drink and something to eat. The good woman looked at him intently and recognized her husband. Aud now the really beautiful part of this story comes in. Did the lady kill the fatted calf for the prodigal and bid him welcome and forget the past? Not to any great extent.
