20 ROUND ABOUT ON WHEELS The Gay and Berious Side of the Tired and Tireless Steed. NEW YORK FIREMEN CATCH THE FEVER Prospective Mounting of the Depart- went—The Bachelor and Bloomers —Improvements and Novelties 4 =Among Local W The bleyele craze has struck the New York fire department, and in the near future it may be no unusual sight to see firemen in full uniform awheel in the streets of the metropolis. Only a few months ago a sug- gestion of the possibility of applying the bi- eycle to the needs of the firemen would have been met with ridicule, but since su- burban postmen and mounted policemen have taken to the wheel, the firemen have hegun to ask themselves, “Why not we also?" A New York Sun reporter talked with a number of members of the department re- cently and learned that a movement had been started to bring the wheelmen of the department together into a club, 3 and to agitate for the adoption of t cle for such of the work of the department as 1t is fitted to. Perhaps th» most enthusi- astlc wheelman in the department at present 18 Assistant Foreman Maher of engine 20, on Marion strest. Maher Is an expert rider, and he has taught many of the men in his com- pany to ride. The Interest has now grown to such an extent that nowadays the third floor of the Marion stree quently resembles a bicycle emy nd nearly all the men in the company have learned to ride. Foreman William Reil who is in charge of the company, encou the adoption of the bicyele among his although he does not himself use one. Lieu- tenant Maher said to the reporte “It is true that the formation of a wheel- ing club among the b e riders in the d partment has been frequently suggested, and 1 believe that it only needs some one to take the initiative to carry the thing through Buch a club would be of value because would serve to bring together members of different battalions. As it 18 at pr hardly any two men from one company have the same day off, but among all the membe of the department there are of course a great many who have the same day, and frequent club runs would be possible.” Captain Freel of engina 8 and Lieutenant Smith of 2 truck both expressed themselves In favor of the adoption of the bi among the men for their private use. Cap- veel said n in the fire department and T should bo glad to see the number twice as large. For the n some of tha stations the use of the wheel means a saving of from one-half to two-thirds of the time now spent in getting from the engine houses home and back again. 1 believe that wheeling would also mprove the moral and physical tone of the men."” Another scheme which has been proposed and which a fire department official author- fz:d the Sun man to say was under consid- eration is the construction of a le chem- fcal engine, for use in up-town, or suburban n proposed contemplates a ne of from thirty to forty gallons capacity, which would be propelled by four men, and would make much better time than the horses do. A well known cap- tain said in regard to this proposition: ““The scheme is perfectly feasible for di tricts where the roads are fairly good and th buildings not too large for a small squad to operate on, Where the buildings are some distance apart it would be a great improvement over the present arrangement, 1 should be glad to see it tried. Another place where I think that the bleyele could bs made to do good service would be for the use of division chiefs in riding to fires. This would mean a con- siderable saving to the department, and would enable these officers also to make better tme.” The manner in which the members of one uptown engine company became supplied with wheels Is interesting. One night an alarm of fire was sent in from a bicycle store. It was not a serious affair, but the smoke and water resulted in considerable damage to a number of wheels. A member of the company suggested that there was an excel- lent chance to secure some cheap bicycle: and the firemen bought most of the damaged machines, and after spending a day or two in scouring them up they appeared in fine trim. It is said that a certain bicycle company Is making a special bid for the patronage of firemen, offering to sell them wheels on the installment plan at 30 per cent One captain, who Is known as an enthuslastic wheelman, said: “I don't want to be quoted as saying so, but I wish to heaven that enough firem would adopt the bicycle so that a man riding along In uniform wouldn't attract attention. I haven't sufficlent nerve to appear on my wheel In uniform, but I'd like awfully well to do it.” g THE BACHELOR AND THE WHEEL. ‘When a fascinating bachelor talks about bleycles for women every woman in soclety, every rosebud In her first season should lis- ten. Time was when every well-balanced man expected to marry. If these were those good old days the talk of even a bachelor bank officlal—and that is what he js—would not be so weighty, but now, when men in- clined to be husbands are difficult to locate, ‘and still more difficult to persuade to the altar, the opinons of every eligible male citi- gen in these United States are worth their welght in bleycle tires to every woman not yet provided with what Josiah Allen's wife calls “‘a pardner.” “No, T _don't like for women to ride ‘wheel he said to a Globe-Democrat man, “and not becauss I think there Is any harm in the exercise or any tendency to immor- ality in the mere pastime. On the contrary 1 belive the exercise is conducive to health, unless excessively indulged in, and I can not see wherein the pastime has any lmmoral tendency among moral women.” Then what in the name of common sense s your objection based upon?"” queried his listener. “Well, Il tell you,” he answered. “It Is the process of evolution that the wheel is the first instrument to bring about among women as womanly women. You see, I like women with all their feminine attributes— es, and inconsistencies—and I am opposed 0 anything that brings them nearer the male level, and that is what I fear in the growth of bieycle riding. When a woman first buys a bicycle her intentions are gen erally good. She will ride moderately, she thinks; she will dress modestly, she Is cer- tain, and she will gain much in hea'th and pleasure and lose nothing in womanliness. She sees no reason why she cannot ride a wheel and be just as good a wife and true a mother at the same time. Of course, she starts out in shoe-top or ankle-length skirts and leggings. She rides for awhile in perfect contentment, without overtaxing her strength or calling attention to herself by any idlosyneracy of garb. Then she galns more command over her wheel, more confidence in herself and makes acquaintances among other women more expert than herself. Once in awhile her skirt catches on the p:dals of her wheel, 50 she decides to shorten them to & knee-length, and accordingly” like he old woman of whom we've heard tell Who went to the market her eggs to sel she ‘culs off her petticoats up to her knees,' Unlike that dame of anclent ryhme, she does mot shiver nor shake nor doubt her own {dentity, pending the decislon of the little dog at home. But she does ride faster and farther in her abbreviated garments and one day she discovers that skirts of any sort are nulsances; that Mrs. This and M 'hat wear bloomers that have been endorsed and recommended by @ dress reform league, and straightway she gets herself a ir of the most approved bagginess, and “finds out she can coast like a boy and ride more madly than Tam O'Shanter, “Leggings are hot things to wesr, too; that is another brilllant discovery, and she #oon reasons herself Into a frame of mind where It i easy to discard them and flatter herselt that she I8 conquering a tendency to- ward mock modesty, Released from that question comes the final evolution into knlckerbockers.

I say, no, 1 don't like to see women riding wheels, It always sesms to me that the bicycle Is the firat link of an evolution that will abolish femininity and the ‘eternal unmanly,' and sometimes 1 feel fo strongly on the subject that the innocent rubber tires look like a monster force that s turning women Into men at the rate of a thousand a minute.” And the bachelor banker lit another cigar with the hopeless expression of a man Who has made jdols and found them clay, who has dreamed of goddesses in soft robes, re- clining upon mossy banks, inhaling the per- fume lotus blossoms, and has awakened to find them red-chesked boys, in knickerbock- ers, traveling into the twenticth century as fast as a bicycle can carry them. MOSES ON THE BLOOMER: There have been a good many scorching philipples delivered again:t the bloomer gar- ment, but the hottest on record thus far, in the opinfon of the Chicago Times-Herald, was the scathing denunciation by Rev. G. E. Scott, pastor of the First Method st Episcopal church of Waterloo, Ta., delivered on a recont Sunday. Rev. Mr. Scoft hindied the ble without gloves. "To be more explcit, he pcked up the bifurcatel garment with the tongs of theological inquisition and flailed it with the chastisement of righteous rhet:ri:al invective, The bloomer may therefore be excused if It has a crushed and withered look. Coming close on_the heels of the drast'c ukase Issued by the Chicago Telephone c-mpany, the budy blow from the Towa gentlaman suggests the reflection that the bloom'r will have to hustle if it maintains Its standing In good soclety, Indeed, there azs many who con- tend that it never had any standing in soclety and never will have The Waterloo preacher did not esntent him. self with promulgating his own theorics in r d to the blcomer, but quo'ed M show that sacred writ is against it.

The knowledge, thus gained by reading, con- versation, and experiencs, can but be useful to all concerned; cartain it is, the more a cyclist knows about that wond<riul thing that arrles him—a moden bleycle—the more h» admires and appreciates it. TAKE CARE. There is a rule of common law ‘‘caveat emptor.”" It is applicable to the sale and pur- chage of real estate, and means let the pur- chaser take care, says the Indianapolis Jour- . It Is his business to protect himself in making a trade, to see that he gets a good title, and s not cheated otherwise. If he gets a financial fall it is his own fault. It is his duty to take care of himself, and not the duty of the seller or anybody else. The principle has some moral application to wheel men and women. The bicycle having been legally and judiclally recognized as a vehicle, with certain rights to the use of streets and roads, though not of sidewalks, equestrians must govern themselves accord- ingl The average pedestrian is willing enough ta do so, but there is some difficulty in knowing how to do It. No person cares to be run over or into by a bicycle pro- pelled at full speed by a human motor, and no person will be if he or she can avoid it. How to avoid it Is the question. The solution of the problem is in making the bicycler or bicycless avold you. If you are anxious to aveld a collision he or she is still more so, as it would probably result more disastrously to the rider than to you., That being the case, the logic and ethics of the situation require that the whole responsi- billty of avolding a collision be thrown on the rider. The moment you begin to dudge you get confused yourself and you confuse the rider. Either stand still or proceed without reference to the impending wheel. Look stralght ahead or keep your eyes on the ground. Above all, do not catch the eye of the rider. If you do the chances are that you will both begin to dodge and dodge in |:m wrong direction, with a consequent colli- sion, As a questlon of legal rights, remember that at all street crossings pedestrians have the right-of-way, and if a wheelman runs into you you have/a claim for damages, the same as If the driver of a carriage should run over you. In addition to this, remember that the wheelman is even more anxious to avold a collision than you are and If you do not con- fuse him by beginning to dodge, and es- pecially by catehing his eye, the chances are 100 to 1 he will give you a wide berth. The general rule should be *“‘caveat wheelman''— let the rider beware. A CAMPING OUTFIT. Philip J. Bailey, a San Francisco lad, has completed arrangements for a bicycle tour under novel circumstances. He intends to camp out during his trip and has constructed an ingenious arrangement by which he hopes to add to his comfort in varlous ways. To keep oft the sun he has arranged a canvas- covered canopy on a framework that s strong, while it Is light and neat. On the front support s fixed a gong which makes almost as much noise as one of the fire patrol wagons. On a shelf over the hind wheel a small coal ofl stove is firmly secured. This is for cooking on the way, and to the upper part of the canopy are fastened a small frying pan, coffee pot and water can. Another rack is for knife and fork and spoon. A rack par- otherw camper’'s rifle. His blankets, in which cer- tain necessaries will be wrapped, he will carry strapped over his shoulder, together with a water canteen. Thus rigged Mr. Balley thinks he can make the trip very pleasantly, He made all the “‘extras’ for his bieycle himseif. Their neatness and evident strength bear witness to his mechanical skill. Everything is snugly fastened into place by various devices that keep the many ‘“‘et- ceteras from rattling. The young man is arranging a stand for a student's bicycle. This will serve for the student to carry his books in, or can be swung around and used as a book rack, so that the rider can read as he travels. Another device In course of con- struction is a bicycle arranged for the con- venlence of physicians, MEDICAL ENDORSEMENT. Bloycling as & healthful sport for women has received the endorsement of the Missis- sipp! Valley Medical assoclation, which seems to embrace the leaders of the profession in a large sectlon of the country, One of the speakers at the meeting of the association at Detroit, Dr. I. N. Love of St. Louls, strongly defended the use of the wheel by women, be- leving that it offered to women a means of emancipation from her many troubles, but he deprecated the wearing of the ugly bloomer costume. He was londly applauded by the women in the convention, and several promi- uent physicians endorsed Lis views, HIGH OR LOW SHOES. opinion exists among bicycle riders regarding the proper style of shoos to be worn when propelling the wheel. . The main difference centers upon the question of high-out and low-cut_shoy While the advocate of low shoes clalms greatér freedom for movement 1o the ankla Jolat, and, cousequently, greater power exerted in pedaling, the user of high shoss contends that the ankle is proteoted from injury and is strengthened for its wark by the encasing ulgh-cut’ shoe. most in- variabl pginted-toe shoa by eitber DEWEY & STONE FURNITURE COMPANY. 1115 and 1117 Farnam Street.
