W\ Dozens of Congressmen Learn to Ride the Wheel &v<^> in Washington. j j& / to the Globe. WASHINGTON, July IT.— The lull in n in the hous ; while the sen - considering the tariff bill in the number of wheelmen in ton. Many a member from re parts of the country learned to r ; the wheel. Washington has been i the heaven of bicycles. It has miles ■■!' concrete pavements : :.■! ■!.- in its vicinity are far an the average. It is the only . the United States where streets tter than the sidewalks. A trip ►re ami back is no novelty. Wheelmen go th._-re in large parties return the same clay. To a stranger ■ms to be alive with bicycles. M'-r. and women, girls and boys flit :^'h the streets like swallows, dart- Ing hi re and there between cars and vehicles. Some are bent on business, rs are out for pleasure alone. Thousands employed In the various de l . rtments go to and from their work upon wheels. The courts of the interior department, of the war and navy build in? and of the post office building are crowded with bicycles. In every de partment provision is made for thorn. crypt of the capltol is filled with i. There is a place set apart for them mi the ground floor of the pension ;ng. Theaters advertise them ( ed and stored without charge. A congressman who is a member of t'. ■ !,. A. W. rode past the city post recently at 7 o'clock in the morn- The streets in the vicinity Bwarmed with wheelmen in gray unl. They trooped away from the building In platoons, north, south, east and west, making the morning de ll vi ■.-;.-. These letter carriers run to the extreme limits of the city. They use the wheel in the delivery of letters. Collections from the street boxes are all made by carriers on wheels. Some carriers ride to their field of de livery and leave their wheels at a pharmacy or a grocery while they dis tribute their letters. The congressman saw one of the carriers leave his wheel at ths residence of Senator Stewart, Rnd from there made deliveries on foot. It !s estimated that from 12,000 to persona employed in Washington use their wheels in going to and re turning from business. Nearly 20,000 are • mployed in the departments alone, and of these it is safe to say that more than one-quarter use the wheel. The sight in the morning hours is ex l.illrating. Rosy-cheeked typewriters in natty costumes, machinists em ployed at the navy yard, department e!arks, male and female, old and young, school girls and school manns, vU dash to their work mounted upon wbeels. Some pail along with charm ing grace and even abandon, while others nervously grip the handles ef their wheels and dismount when in doubt. Many sit as straight as ram rods, with hands behind their backs, driving the wheels as though they were rai-ts of themselves. Others maintain an unconscious, but easy, attitude, ap parently thinking over the work of the day. A few bend to the low handle bars, and speed along as though suf- -v tAXi THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE. fering from curvature of the spine. Darwin's theory is apparently re versed. Instead of the slow evolution through long ages of man from the siaiian, we have the rapid develop, ment of the simian from man. This evolution is confined to the lords ox creation, for no lady has ever been seen on the streets of Washington rid ing a wheel with ram's horn handle bars. Nor are the patrons of the wheel con fined to the Caucasian. Though the Ethiopian cannot change his color, ho proves extremely facile in changing his method of locomotion. The colored girl, whether octoroon, quadroon, mulatto or Congo, is in the front on the wheel. She rides it gracefully, if not artistically. Often she is accom panied by a dusky admirer. One of these admirers attracts universal at- Miss Antique— l have been in two centuries. Miss Guy— lf you live until nine teen hundred, you will have been In three. tentlon. Tall and slender, he rides at the side of his tinted Inamorata, clad in a full bttcycle suit. The suit is a stun ner. He wears a blue cai> with a long white peak and a snowy button on top. His blazer carries the Princeton colors, orange and black. His knicker bockers are of a navy blue, and h'la golf stockings are of a plaid that would throw a highland chief into convul sions. The wheel is also a favorite with tha members of the Chinese legation. Sev eral of the attaches are experts. All ride ladies' wheels on acc.ount of their flowing robes. In fact, everybody rides the wheel, the clergyman and the congressman, the lawyer and his client, the doctor and his patient, the mistress and the maid, everybody but the office seeker. He w^alks. Not long ago a congress • man took tea on a Sunday afternoon with a family living in the northwest. The lady of the house was busy at tending to the wants of those around the table. One of the children at the table asked its mother where Gertie, the servant girl, was. "She and the cook have gone out on their wheels. This is their Sunday off," replied the mother. "Has your servant girl a wheel?" the congressman asked in astonishment. "No," was the reply, "she hires one for fifteen cents an hour." She then told a story of her washer woman. "She comes here every Mon day," the lady said, "to do the wash ing. Last Monday I waited all day for her and she never came. She ap peared bright and early on Tuesday THE CYCLE OP TIME. morning. I asked her why she failed to come on Monday, and she replied 'I hired a wheel. A lady out beyond the soldiers' home owed me sixty cents and I went out there to collect it.' " After a long morning ride the con gressman breakfasted at his rooms, and, mounting his wheel, rode to the capltol. He had hardly turned the cor ner before he passed a gentleman in SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 1897. knickerbockers, a neglige shirt, sack coat and golf stockings. The costume was complete, with the exception of the headgear. The gentleman wore a black slouch hat. The breeze was wooing his silver Dundreary whiskers. He had a magnificent presence, an.l rode the wheel with the ease of an expert. He was,Raar Admiral John G. Walker, of the L*nited States navy. The admiral was lost to sight in a bevy of young ladies, .who crossed his track and fluttered lender his bows like Mother Cary's chickens. Two blocks away the congressman met another object of interest. It was Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire. He wore a pepper and salt suit, a straw hat, had clips on his ankles, sat firm and upright, and was making good time. A quarter of a mile behind him came Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, the past and prospective chairman of the com mittee on appropriations. He wore a felt hat and a gray business suit, and was smoking: a Danville intimidad. He has been riding the wheel for several years, and it is said that he was the first man who -ever induced Speaker Reed to mount j the wheel. Whether this is so or not, ft is certain that the statesman frora^ Maine never uses a wheel in Washington. His form is familiar on Pennsylvania avenue. He usually walks to the capitol, rolling to and fro, like a sailor on leave. Those who have seen him astride the wheel in Maine say that he presents an in teresting appearance. Mr. Cannon takes hiswheel with him on entering the capitol, and de-posits it in his commit tee room, as do .several other congres sional wheelmen* Representative Babcock, of Wiscon sin, is a new addition to the wheelmen. He was chairman of the committee on the District of Columbia in the last house. If he succeeds himself his ad vent among the wheelmen will be hail ed with delight. A new criminal has been developed fn Washington. He Is akin to the scoundrel who ruins ladies' dresses by throwing vitriol upon them. He scatters chunks of broken glass in places frequented by wheelmen. His operations extend throughout the city. I A hint from the chairman of the dis trict committee to the commissioners might secure his apprehension and con viction. In his excursions upon the wheel Mr. Babcook is accompanied by his wife, who is a graceful rider. Nor is he the only congressman whose wife accompanies him in his expeditions. Mrs. George B. McClellan frequently rides to Alexandria and back with her husband. In riding about the city you often meet Representative Shafroth, of Col orado; Senator Bacon, of Georgia; Sen ator Tillman, of South Carolina; Sen ators Elkins and. Faulkner, of "West Virginia, and Senator Kyle, of South Dakota. The latter has as a compan ion a daughter, who usually sets the pace for her father. Senator Wolcott, of Colorado,, now absent in Europe, Is greatly mlssj&d by the wheelmen In Washing-ton diirlng the present ses sion. A Representatives Foss, of Illinois; Taylor, of Ohio; Latimer, of South Carolina; Sherman, of New York; Curtis, of Kansas, and others belong to the congressional bicycle brigade. All are enthusiastic wheelmen. Rep resentative Sprague, of Massachu setts, has won more than the usual notoriety by appearing on the floor of the senate In a wheelman's costume. The costume fits nim to perfection, and is evidently «he work of a Boston tailor. Jerry Simpson is an old rider, and one who understands the ethics of land navigation. He wears knee breeches and Is ftpt ashamed to wear •em\ iraq) Sum§wio4»B ajon •men}, however, Is the shit of Col. William G. Sterrett. of TexiW. He appeared on the floor of the house the other day with golf stockings and a butternut roundabout. The suit is unique and characteristic. The coat may have come from the plains of Texas, but the stockings are a symphony in hos iery. The services of no Boston tailor were required. It recalls the story of a well-known captain in the navy, of whom it is said that he made his own clothes and cut his own hair. A conspicuous figure in quiet streets of a cool afternoon is Commodore Sam son, of the ordnance bureau. He rides a high frame wheel with aplomb and dignity. In days gone by the com modore was a favorite in the tennis court with Secretary Olnoy, of Massa chusetts. They played on the lot ad joining the residence of Mrs. U. S. Grant. The commodore is full as grace ful on the wheel as in the tennis court. The Conduit road and the shady drives about the soldiers' home arc favorite courses for wheelmen. To ward night they appear here by hun dreds. Accidents are comparatively few, because scorching is strictly for bidden. The ordinance is enforced by a bicycle squad of uniformed police officers. To those standing upon the esplanade of the capitol on the lasn night of the session in the early even ing. Pennsylvania avenue presented a fairy-like spectacle. It was filled with wheelmen, and their lights were as numerous as fireflies in summer. The avenue was fairly phosphorescent with them, and the scene was made more animated by the music of the bands which were to take part in the in augural procession. The plaza front ing the capitol presented a scene even more stirring. The air was filled with the tinkling of tiny bells, and lights glimmered far and near on every road in the capitol grounds. And still the old fogy doubts! A member of the Confederate cabinet re cently expressed his astonishment at seeing a friend upon a wheel. "It is the only indication of lunacy that I have ever seen in you," he remarked. The wheelman replied, "In a quarter of a century you will see one hundred wheelmen where you now see one. All the rising generation are infatuated with the wheel. It is even more use ful than ornamental." "You are crazy," was the reply, "it is simply a fad. Within ten years it will die out, and you will not see one wheel where you now see a hundred." — Amos J. Cumr_ings. m STREET CARS STOPPED. City and Company Involved In Trouble lit Sugrinnw. SAGINAW, Mich., July 17.— The city's street railway system is completely tied up today as a result of a several months' fight between the city and the Union Street Railway company, which culminated recently in a decision by the supreme court, sustaining the right of the city to take any measures to compel the railway company to settle for certain special improvement taxes. Follownig this the common council de clared the company's franchise for feited. Action like that of today was not expected, however, until next week. During last night the police placed a big steam road roller across the car tracks leading to the main lines, and are guarding the machine against any molestation. The bondholders and stockholders of the company have vainly tried to agree on a basis of set tlement for the trouble, the bone of contention being a debt of $45,000, which the bondholders were unwilling to as sume.
