ORIGIN OF PNEUMATIC TIRES. Aa Irish Doctor Invented Them to I're ssrvs Ills Hou's llosltli. Very few of the hundreds of thou sands of cyclists who now enjoy the pastime of an up-to-date safety shod with pneumatic tires have an Idea from whut a crude contrivance those same ulr cushions on wheels have been fk evolved. Pneumatic tires were In [ vented In 1889 by J. P. Dunlop, a horse doctor of Belfast, Ireland. He had a son who rode a tricycle and who, by bis i^iulgunce, bad developed a nervous trouble. The veterinary concluded that Ihe boy'a disorder was due solely to the Jolting of the wheels, uud, planning to do away with the objections, so that the lad might continue bis exercise, be hit upon the Idea of putting air cushions on the wheels. With ouly such material os he bad at hand for use in doctor! ug equine Invalids, he eet to work, Using a broomstick ns a mandrel, he w rapped It aplrally with linen bandages. Next ha took some rubber sheets und so luttuued them around the liueu. Tbs ends also be fastened with rubber so lution. He Inserted a valve a little bet ter than a plug and putting It on the wheels started bla sou away ou the grot pneumatic Urea. It * as quickly found that Ihe rough and ready alyle a( fabric would not bald ntr, and so *u Inner sheath of pur# rubber waa tiled. The valve was vulcanised lo this Inner tub# In such a wsy that In the event ol any trouble with ihe velve sn entirely now nlr sheath was ths only remedy. “ i» rt«e were In use at the lime end tires wne fnntenwd to the rim by n strip of muslin which earns out with the tree edge* (torn the under side el \ ike Urea.

There was really do necessity for the j use of the card, either, for the two had | frequently met. Mrs. Ricketts was the candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket, while Mrs. Jenklnson was the Demo cratic nominee. Under the circum stances It waa natural for her to be surprised at receiving a call from her opponent. i "I <SBie to see you on a small matter of business," replied the visitor. "T’ray proceed," "J have learned from good authority that your managers are bent upon a . < ampi.lgn of personalities, and that, they l intend to give to the press certain slan 1 derous gossip about me Intended to In , Jure my candidacy."

"We'll see uhout that, Mary Hllen Hlckdl*, you were engaged to my lius han(V In your younger days, a good many years ago." "I'm not nearly as old as you, I'd have you know," "You are!"

"And I merely wish to add that on : the very first publication of a personal Ity about me In your newspaper organ* I shall print lu tho Dally Bugle ever) single one of your mushy, lackadaisical epistles. Do you understand?" The two women glared at each othei a half minute, and then Mrs. Samantha Jenklnson withdrew, leaving Mrs Mary Ellen Ricketts deep In thought. The campaign was conducted without any personalities. Harper's Bazar. THREE GREAT ACTRESSES. Thrjr A rm Sarah llsrnlisrdt, Unions Moiljnlia and Kleonora l>uaa. There aro perhaps only three living actresses now In active llfo to whom the title "great” would bo applied by common consent. These aro Sarah Bernhardt, Helena Modjeska and Ele onora Duse. Jnnauschek, alas! al though still upon the stage, belongs tc the past, while Ellen Terry, with all her dainty skill and radiant charm, bat not yet reached those heights to which genius alone ean aspire. Each of them excels In ways peculiar to herself. Bernhardt, after carrying off all the laurels offered la the artificial and de clamatory schpol of French tragedy, hat devoted btr maturcst powers to the Il lustration of the most violent passions conceivable by morbid Imagination, Her achievements In this direction have been extraordinary, and her dramatic genius cannot be disputed, but some ol her latest triumphs have been won In defiance of most of the laws of nature and many of the rules of true art. Mod Jeska, if lesa potent In the Interpreta tion of the fiercest emotions than her French rival, need foar no comparison with her in poetic tragedy; while In the field of poetic comedy she Is unrivaled. Her performance of Juliet, Rosalind and Ophelia are utmost Ideally beauti ful. Eleonora Duse, whose fume has biased up with meteoric suddenness, Is pre-emluent above hll actresses of her time for versatility, that rare gift of impersonation still rarer among women tbun uaiong men, which can conceal the real beneath the assumed Identity with out resorting to the common expedients of theatrical disguise. The phrase that •ueb or aucb a part wue assumed by this or that actor la heard every day.

And people Ill-natured people, that l» thought the colonel hod a vivid imagination. There was a prodigality about bis physique that one somehow expected to see re peated In the colonel’s character. And to hear the colonel hold forth from*the end of the boarding house table over which he presided, the unsophisticated hoarder would never have doubted that such a reasonable expectation would be realized on closer acquaintance. Wbat, then, was this unsophisticated one's surprise to hear tho doughty colonel, evidently In a high good humor with himself, say one day: "Well, I earned ray fare downtown today.” That the colonel would stoop to earn a ulckh* was remarkable; that he should boast of It was Incredible. “You see,” pro cecaea tno man or mi.itnry aspiration*, "I went down In the carette. Oettlng In at Schiller street the carette was empty, and I went way up to thd front and bought six tickets for a quarter. One I dropped in the box. Then as the car filled up I was exceedingly useful to those who sat farther down, passing their fares up and depositing them. An exceedingly polite man they all thought me. And so I am, so 1 am. But instead of dropping their nickles In the box I dropped my tickets in until I bad used up my five tickets and con fiscated five nickles. I had regained my quarter and paid my fare. After that I was not so polite. I let people drop their nickles Into the chute which the company provides for that purpose. Awful nuisance, that chute. But it’s not my business to play conductor if the company’s too mean to hire any.’’ And the colonel called for another cup of tea, and the unsophisticated one gasped to think or the smallnees of which auch greatness was capable.

HA MILTON-BURR EPISODE A O CENTURY AOO. It ral All AnnUa la Mnamlnu (Has 1.1 fe Wrm Oat In Oaalh. Iha Other In tha shadow of Aranglag tit#— futtrlr and IM.grar*. MONO Ihe notable duels that have ta ken place In thla country wltbln the present century not one has left such a hitter taste In the mouth of the Am erican patriot ns the notable meeting between Aaron llurr and Alexander Hamilton, on the chosen held of honor at Wechawken Heights, N J., opposite ihe city of New York, on .luly 11, 1*04. The personal and political antagon ism culminating In this dreadful trage dy dates as fur back as 1792, when Ham ilton, In both verbal aud written ex pressions of opinion, characterized Aaron llurr ue a man who was willing to use his tools to carve out hla per sonal ambition at the cost of any sacri fice of his country. Whether thM charge was true or not, the country has at least an opportunity of rendering Sober Judgment after the lapse of nearly one hundred years. Tbut the two men were bitter polltl eal rivals und pursued each othor re lentlessly for many yeara previous to the final art In the drama Is a point, es tablished beyond reasonable discussion. Tbe American of today, however, I* apt to take the view that Alexander Ham ilton wa* the martyr who willingly Im molated himself on the altar of hi* country, while Uurr was the relflah po litical schemer who wa* willing to adopt any unscrupulous means by which he might hope to get his haled rlvul out of tbe way. Two things Hamilton knew when he crossed the Hudson from his beautiful home rn Washington Height* on that fateful summer morning. These wore that hi* antagonist thirsted for hi* blood, and also that tho bullet of Aaron Burr bad seldom missed It* ulrn. This knowledge would almost justify tho be lief that Hamilton deliberately went to the field prepared to kill Burr, and thus rid tbe Infant republic of tbe man ALEXANDER HAMILTON, whom he considered its most danger ous foe. or be killed himself, knowing that In that event the namo of Burt would be forever execrated, that the act would destroy his political influence for ever, and that the greatest good to the greatest number of his countrymen would be accomplished in either event, The duel Itself occurred, as I have said, cn the morning of July 11, at about 7 o'clock. Both principals, with their seconds and surgeons, rowed across the Hudson, the Burr party reaching the field first. Burr, according to all accounts, seemed to bo in a blood thirsty frame of mind, while the de meanor of Alexander Hamilton is de scribed as dignified and almost mourn ful. The distance was ten paces. Choice of puulticm and the giving of the word —both considered by followers of the code as distinct advantages fell by lol to Hamilton's seconds. The word wa« "Present !'* Both parties tired in suceeu sion, with an Interval between, about the exaet time of which there was u dispute among the seconds. Hamilton fell almost instantly, and It Is told of Burr that he advanced to the side of his mortally wounded rival with an expression of melancholy on his face, but that he suddenly withdrew in sl len-e and was hurried from the field by his seconds. Van Ness, who wss the closest friend of Burr In this affair, and knowing that his principal must fly for his life, led the way to the boat by a devious route In order to avoid recog nition by the surgeon and rowers of the Hamilton barge, which he anw ap proaching through the Irene. Hr lloe ack and Mr Pendleton lifted the wouud ed statesman and bore him to the boat, in which he was conveyed to hla home serosa the river, where he was al'ended nut only by his own surgeons but by ex | pert specialists In gunshot wouuda who wars Immediately summoned from the | French frigates lylug In the harbor. Hut human aid was of no avail, aud 1 the aaguleh of hla family was hardly less painful to wltaeao that the eceru* elating suffering of tho dying elates man. home with charoctarlelle courage and fortitude. The deathbed scene was pathetic in a degree that has had ten parallels In history, llurraunded by his broken-hearted wife sad seven > hlldren. with his mind perfectly clear, hut he I reft of the power of spec* k. the tile of tho great American pairtel, soldier and statesman the uistt who led the alernt on Ywkittens heights, and f,»ught Ik* fieauet futessn buttles of at* Hum slowly ebbed until I o'clock on the fol lowing Thursday afternoon. Tbe funeral *ai leld at Trinity Church on the following Saturday. It wa* attended by thousand* of mourn* era, each countryman of the dead atatea man nuralng in bla heart a peraonal and Indignant narrow. It waa a danger* oua throng, and If there lingered among thone grlef-ntrlckeu thousand* a partt aan of Aaron Hurr, he waa wlae enough to keep nllent. The eulogy, a noul-atlr ring oration, wa* delivered by Oouver neur Morrla from a platform la front of Trinity Cbureh. on iltoadway, at the he»d of Wall ntreet. goon after lfa e< hoe* died away. In the eloquent word* of a fellow-compatriot, “a shroud, a eof*. fin. a narrow vabterranreun cabin, waa all that remained of Alexander Hamil ton' ’ Aa for Aaron Uurr, he had fled for hi* life on the very day of the duel. latter he wa* di*fraricbt**d by the law* of New York, and Indleted for murder In New Jersey. After that he became an lahmacl on the face of the earth, dying on Staten Inland when eighty yearn old, MRB. ALEXANDER HAMILTON, friendless and almost In event of the common necessities of life, Hamilton Orange, the home of Al exander Hamilton on Washington Heights, still stands unchanged from the day that the great statesman was carried bleeding and dying across Its threshold. The properly Is now owned by Bt. Lukes Episcopal Church, which It adjoins, on the corner of t'onvent ave nue and 141«t street. Scarcely a stone's throw from the portals of this pictur esque old colonial mansion are the thir teen trees planted by the hand* of Oen. Washington s captain of artillery, each one representing one of the thirteen original atates. Visitor* to the neigh borhood view these old landmarks with much Interest, and glance involuntarily down the street, probably 142(1. leading down to the river over which the sail little cortege bearing the dying form of the most prominent politico) leader of his time wound Its way on that luck less July morning. Htrangc to say, the old Jumel man sion Is not far away. Two years before his death, Aaron Birr. who was the third vice-president of ibis country, who was tried for treason, and who came near going down into history by the side of Benedict Arnold, married Madame Jumel, who soon obtained a separation from him. Reviewing the whole matter, one can hardly fall to recall the slow grinding of those: mills of the gods that brings sure retribution at last. Burr left no monuments. Though a man ot transcendent genius, there are few who care to remember him, Ham ilton lert enduring footprint* on the Hands of time. The latest evidence of the loving remembrance In which he i» held In toe hearts of bis countrymen Is the beautiful statue whhh stands in front of the famous Hamilton Club In A A ItON Ul'KK.
