A LONG BICYCLE TOU,.
A New York Wheelman in Town on
a Trip Around the
World.
Expects to Complete the Journey
Some Time in the Fall of
1883.
Lhe Tourists la the Yellowsteone Natioal
Park Make a Pet Of "Oatlng'a"
Represeaeatvle.
All the bicyole riders in Helena tarned
ouat last night to greet F. G. Lenz, a young
man from New York city who is making a
tour of the world on a bicycle. He started
from New York on June 5, and so far has
traveled 3,198 miles, whioh includes six
days wheeling in the national park. Mr.
Lens will rest in Helenm four or five days
before starting west. On leaving New
York he took the Hudson river road to
Albany; then..e to Buffalo, Detroit, Jackson,
Chicago. Milwaukee, LaCrosse and St.
Paul. From St. Paul be came west to
Aberdeen, S. D., up the Jim River valley to
Jamestown, following the Northern Pacife
railroad to Livingston. Six dave were
spent in the park where Mr. Lenz was the
pet of the sourists, and as muok of an
attraction as "Old Faithful" geyser. He
left Bozeman Wednesday morning and
spent the night at Crow Creek and arrived
in Helena at five p. m. yesterday. When I
he leaves for the west he will fol
low the old emigrant road to Port
land and then go to fan Francisco r
where he will take a steamer for 1
Japan. 1)aring the winter months he t
will be in China, where Mr. Lenz expects a
he will meet with some difficulty, owing to t
the ignorance of the natives in the interior.
By next spring he expects to be in Persia
and Turkey, and will afterwards "do"
Europe on his wheel, returning to New
York in the fall of 1893.
The wheel on which Mr. Lenz is traveling
was an object of much interest last night to
the local wheelmen and others. It is a
pneumatic safety. Over the rear wheel is a
steel framework on which is strapped a
special -satchel containing clothing weigh
ing twenty-fve pounds. When on the road
Mr. Lenz carries on his back a camera
weighing fifteen pounds, which was esupe
ially made for the trip. It has an ingenious
arrangement of clockwork designed by Mr.
Leanz which makes the camera automatic
and with which hi can take his own pie
ture. The preofs of his snap shots are
sent to "Outing," a magazine published in
New York, with letters describing his trip.
Over the front wheel he carries a canteen,
and strapped to the handles is a case con
taining a silver plated revolver.
This Mr. Leaz calls his "dog pal
verizer," to be used on canines who
dispate his right to the road. He has no
use for the ammonia guns which some
wheelmen carry. These are a special fea
ture of bicycle equipment. They carry a
charge of ammonia which is squirted at
the muzzle of a dog. Mr. Lenz prefers a
revolver, as being moe effective and be
lieves it is a better weapon for general ser
vice than the ammonia squirt gn. Around
his waist in a leather belt he carries his
money and watch and a hunting knife, the
latter being a present from a cowboy ad
mirer whom he met while passing through
the Dakota bad lands. The two little
leather fobs on his belt where he carries his
wateh and currency Mr. Lenz calls "Time
and Money." He says that's what it takes
to make a tour of the world.
When he reached Helena last evening he
was in good spirits sad excellent condition.
He is well tanned and his muscles are hard.
His weight is 140 pounds and he stands five
feet seven inches in his shoes, and isa25
years old. Montana, so far as he has
traveled through it, he says, has the worst
roads he has met since leaving New
York. Wisconsin and Michigan roads were
bad, but not so much so as the highways of
eastern Montana, particularly in the bad
lands, where he found it very lonesome
wheeling. At every place on his tour Mr.
Lenz says he has been well treated, the
wheelmen especially taking great interest
in him and doing all in their power to make
his stops agreeable and aiding him in every
possible way. After he eompletee his tour
of the world Mr. Lenz will write a book in
which he will describe his trip around the
world on a wheel.

COMING ATTRACTION6.
On Monday and Tuesday evening next,
Manager Remington offers a rare treat to
his patrons, which will be Iteed and Collier
and their great company of comedians in
their latest farce comedy oraze, "Hoes and
Hose," of which the stars themselves are
the authors. The company numbers twenty
people, every one of which is an artist.
The play has been a howling, hilarious hit,
and it is said to contain a laugh in every
line. There are also many new features
introduced, among which will be the latest
New York sensation, the great "Kangaroo
dance," which will be Introduced by Mist
Louise Allen, who is the originator of it.
Another prominent feature will be the
"Bowery hall," which has been so much
talked about by the eastern press
of late. It receives half a dozen curtain
calls at eaebh performance. Charlie
Reed, who is the originator of the "Tamale
ouRng," will sing it here during his
stay, as waell as many other new ones of
which he has no end. Charlie was for a
long time a partner of Billy Emerson in
8an Francisao in the minstrel business, and
took his departure from black face four
years and then started as a comedian in
force-comedy, and f om the start was an
instantasneous success, and to-day stands
without an equal in his own peculiar way.
Of his partner, William Collier, who is a
very young man, the samue can be said, as
he is a directly olil)olte style of comedy,
and is known as the quaint cttuiedian.
They will also present the entertainment
here in its entirety, as they bring all the
seanery and costumes they used in .an
Francisco at the California theater, whe: e
they have just closed a two w.eik' engag.e
meat. This is the first appearance of
these clever comedians in three years
(which was then with the City l)Irectory I
company), and they then eastablihed them
selves as favorites, and their reception will
be an enthusiastic oiie.

w. c. T. U. QUJESTIO.
I ra Mnaliopatl Oovern net Revs Child's
Play ? the embters Ask.
To Tan lruartnnla Several visitors at
the eity councll last session and the pre
sediang one could cot bat repeatedly ask
themselver this question, when they saw
with what little thought and dignity sub
Jests of vital importance to the city's wsl
far were handled.
Particularly in settling the question
brought forward by the W. C. T. U. it wa not
necesary that the coanailmen, bseasss they
differed in opinion from the petitioners.
should discuss the subject with pointless
witticism and obsene jest, and with many
a nod and wik and knowing semile passed
round. It was net neeessary to move that
the prayer of the petitioners be granted, and
carry that motion by a vote in the affirma
tire, and then in a few moments move that
the report of the judiciary committee on
the petition be accepted, and carry that
likewise by a vote of adffirmation, when ,it
was almost antagonistic to that prayer
to make the W. C. T. U. think they were
doing something with the petition. Cer
taknly the union was capable ef seeing the
absurdity of snuch prooeedngs. Was it not
pure childishness to move, in a pet, that the
marshal he instructed to enforce ordinance
nine, for the purpose of ending the dis
onesion at that time, and then in the fol
lowing session to have it boldly stated that
the council all knew nothing was meant by
that motion but to close the disoussion, and
that the eoancilmen had the good interests
of the city too much at heart, (pocket
hemeart) to seriously countenance any such
motion.
This member then immediately called for
a reseal of said action and a motion to
adopt the report of the committee. The
clerk immediately responded that said re
port had been adopted at the previous meet
ing, remaining discreetly silent about the
other motion being carried, granting the
prayer of the petitioners. Did the clerk
and councilmen imagine for one moment
that those little dodges were not apparent
to outsiders as well as to councilmen? They
can assaie them it required no extraordin- 1
ary aonteness of intellect to grasu the "true
inwardunes" of those proceeding. Did it
not show an utter misconception of the
loving anxiety that fills true parent's
hearts, for a councilman, a father too, to
state that this petition was sent in proba
bly, by women whp were obliged to wear
their last year's bonnets and wished a more
obscure thoroughfare than laii. street on
which to display their faded finery and
therefore, in their seolishness, had perse
outed these poor women by asking for their
removal.
'T0onf so 115O a5 011050 Who Will not see,'
they thought, when another councilmas
advised the W. C. T. U. to go about pray
ing, weeping and imploring these women tc
reform, overlooking the fact that the V
C. T. U. did not ask for the privilege ol
reforming these women, but for their re
moval, that the children of the town might
be kept from evil sight seeing. Thhl
W. C. '1. U. and the national likewise,
have cohsidered this question too manJ
peats, to have much faith in reformatory
methods for these women or for the men
who support them. However, as the hon
orable member stated he was perfectly
sincere in all he said and truly desired to
do the right thing, the W. C. T. U. stands
ready, whenever he is pretared to open up
such a crusade among the men, to offset
his efforts with a thoroughly sincere and
earnest attempt to reform these women.
"What is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander," and certainly if these poor,
deluded women need some one to pray for
them, the men, who have sunk so low they
do not see the degradation to themselvea,
in encouraging these women to continue in
a course of life that in reality is but tor
ment to both body sad mind, need the
prayers of all guileless men.
The W. C. T. U. did mot present the peti
tion in the interests of refoem, bet as that
of prevention. It woald keep the pule
mind of the child pure, and it does not
believe in accustoming the mind to sin as a
necessity in others, and farther still, it
believes in training the boys to
believe that born pure, as their
sisters are, they can grow to pure manhood
as their sisters oan grow to pure woman
hood. It believes God made man in his
own image, and by living aright in his
triane nature, man can attain to the
nobility of soul implanted at his birth. It
believes also that:
Vice is a monster of so ft:ihtful mien
.s to b. hated, needs but to be seen.
let sten too ott, familiar with her face,
We first condemn, then pity, then embrace."
It asks, with all the agonizing fears of a
Christian mother's heart, that these sights
and sounds, these'dreadful evils afflicting
mind and body "unto the third and fourth
generation" may be removed from the path
of the children, not their children alone,
bat in the interests of the city and suffer
ing humanity, all children, and they do n t
ask it to prosecute thoese women, but in the
interests of self p eservation, which
is the fist law of nature. "Onward and
Upward" is the motto of nations, but can
ort be carried out unless it is the motto of
idividuals. That an evil has existed, is
existing and will exist, is no reason why it
rast exist or why we should "sit suapnely
by" and say we can do nothing to abate the
evil. No evil need exist in the maximum,
if mankind resolutely and reasonably fights
its existence.
'to return to the proceedings of the coun
cil. The same member affirmed that by
adopting the report of the committee all
the terrible features of Clore street's sin
would be abated, as all youths would be in
their homes, and said the street would be
under the strictest surveillance, that in
fact it was already closely guarded. That
same night a party went twice through
Cloue street. The first time a boy of not
fifteen was being eajoled into one of these
honses and the second time the doors and
windews of every house were wide open,
the inmates lolling thereat while musie,
idancing and hallooisg met the ear at every
step. A crowd of negroes and Chinamen,
larger than the obnoxious crowd which be
tanyed the unoffenitinr cowboy, blockaded
the sidewalk for some distance and not a
policeman in sight either time, although
the street was affirmed to be under the
"strictest surveillance."
Many of the councilmen :re doubtless
interested in having your city become the
capital of the state, IDo they think that
the puerile proceedings of the last few a:-s
sions and the reputaetlo this city already
has for morality (I?) will be likely to
secure it a majority of votes among the
other cities of tee stats? Scarcely, while
it plays battledo:e and ehuttleroek with the
higlieet interests of humanity, and places
money upon the throne witn passion the
power behind it. I be W. C. T. U. appeal
to all thoughtful minded citizens to sus
tain them in their work and to demand a
consistent enforaement of the laws, which
would not endanger tlihe lives or the happi
ness of the good womni of the town, as
corn, of the eoounilmnon irm: libunt, on the
rentrary, would very likeul prevent the
city from dying of blood poisousua.
