The wheelmen last night tendered a reception to Colonel Albert Pope, of "Boston, and Mr. Bebert Gardner, of Chicago, a member ot theiraclng board of ths League of American Wheelmen. Mr. Gardner Is a eyllst of note, wm a prima mover in establishing the Pullman road race, and bM done greet Mrvloe to tha sport la other ways.

Colonel Pope is a tall, handsome, portly gentleman, a fine type of the Intelligent, progressive and pre porous manuTMtnrer, and although a war veteran time has aealt ently with tne color or ate nair. tjoionei 'one wm in command ot a Massechussette regiment duriag the war and fought as far souths Vicksburs and Jeskson, Miss.

He waa a Republican, then a Cleveland Independent and Is now a Democrat. He believes the Republican party Is doomed, beeauss It la a party of prejudice. The McKinley tariff Is a mistake. The ores bill la a worse error, but will never pass. The Republican party maintained Itself in power so long by perpetuating the feeling.

The young mea have forgotten about slavery, they only know that Derooo-raev advocates advanced fdeaa, and they are helping to bring about lta ascendancy. Kven the old abolition state ot Massaohus-aetta Is in the Democratic column. Many old soldiers like himself are with tha young men. He respects any man who fought for principle, and believes In fors-lvlng thoroughly.

He thinks it wm wrong to give them the ballot, not because they were black, but because they were Ignorant, Northern states- would object oven more than do tbe southern to being placed under the control of tha Ignorant classes. Colonel Pope win probably revisit New Orleans during Mardt-Gras, when he will aeoompany Governor Russell and others who are expected to made the trip. Colonel Pope wm one of the gentlemen mentioned for the Demo-cratio nomination for governor when Mr. Russell wm nominated, but he Is a warm friend and great admirer of the young governor.

Whea Colonel Pope coniia ended Port Hell General W. wm In charge of Fort Heaven, Just opposite, and they exchanged shots frequently.

The eveilsU' reoeotion lasted from 8 to 10 o'clock, and took place at parlor L.

Colonel Pope is tbe father, of cycling In America, and bM not only fostered the sport but led tbengat rer gooa roeaa. next year it is said that he will make a large donation to tbe League of American Wheelmen for the purpose of having read conventions in every state, and endeavoring to lnnuenoa all legislatures to pass good road laws.

anw "Then and Now." How the Condition of Woman Hll Im proved la a Hundred Tears. If anr ereature on earth bM reason for exultaat, tearful. bMvea ward-rising thankfulness, it is the modern woman. Never in-all the world's history bM she been so tree from burdens, as exalted la prtvelegM to-day. This nineteenth century le the era of ber coronation.

To-day she stands queen of herself and ef the world. In the palmiest days of the -'good old times" the only woman wao wm auowea any pnvueges or 1 V.

You wooJd not dare to read aloud in mixed society any book of the last century. Books were not made for women; and so whether they were deowut or not, waa a small consideration. vea the old preachers Indulged In coarseness of language that would not now be permitted in a political harangue. Some ef Martin Luther sermons could not bo read la a modern school, swearing la the drawing-room and In the "beet society wm ate uncommon suing ninety years ago. Evea she ladiea themselves not rarely Indulged in lt Dean Ramsey tells aa anecdote that will III as tr ate bow fit wm m-garded.

A slater wm speaking ot ber brother much addicted to the habit, and she said; Our John swears awfu', aad wo try to correct aim for it; but," aha added, apologetically. nee doubt it Is a great set-off to conversation. Tha "doable-In tendre" aad iadalioate Illusions, a oon now no res pee table company would then quit eommoa In mixed society. Liguty years age eminent lawyers weald um language in the eeurtroem, la the presence ot ladles, tor whleh they would now be arrested by the saerlaT. Thea women were punished by being publicly whipped on tbe bareback.

Prisoners la pliiarlae were pelted with eggs, and leered aad taunted by the bystanders. The whippingpost, the stocks, cropping and branding were common, it wm ne very care eight to see a man and his wife, front the first society, sitting on the gallows tor an hour, with ropes round their necks. And those who favor the harsher forms of punlehmeaf anight profitably take ootiea of tae fees tbat milder counsel, fewer crimes, and the general elevation of society are invariably ao eompanlments of each other. To be poor and msaaa then wm worss than torture or death. Tha poor were "sold" at public auction, their board and keeping frnnnkss down to tne lowoas bidder, who waa left to treat taem very muck as lie pleased.

Almshouses were almost unknown. Ths lssane wife of a prosperous man wm aomatlmes fastened la a room la the house, and kept there for years, her eereame making hldeoue the public road oa whleh he lived. The eommoa eonoel girl of to-day is better off. In all tnat make life desirable, than wm any queen of 300 years ago. More comfort, mora purity, more iu-telllgenee, more refinement, more things worth having these mark- the advaaee ot cur social life.

Never were houses so good, never was furniture so convenient and abundant, never was-dress so comfortable and healthful, never manners so simple and sensible, never tha means ef all enjoymsnt and development so eommoa and so universally accessible as to-day. And yet, in spite of these facts, there are large numbers of people perpetually bemoaning our degeneracy and sighing over the departure ot the "good old times" ot oar early American life. r. The reason of the present distressing state ot affaire I beard explained not long One man thought it was bacanse tiie "good old doctrines'' were nowadays not preached at all, and the other wm equally sure that it wm because tbdy were preached all the time. Never was a grander fallacy than this whole Idea.

Never wm more Ignorance ot the past displayed than by those who talk of the falling away of modern times. Never wm the church so bright and fair now, and nsver did the eky ot the future redden with a more glorious promise of the coming day. la tnoso -good old times" men lived under the horrid shadows ot frightful superstitions. It is to modern edenoe only that we owe oar emancipation from the yoke of this awful tyranny. Seientiflo explorers bave been ever the earth, and finding no mouth of bell, that is gene.

Science bM explained earthquakes and voloaaoes, and now devils fight no longer In the bowels ot the earth. ACtaa aad Vesuvius are no loager vent-holes of tha pit, Aatrouomy bu shattered the folllea of astrology; and people have found out that the stars are minding tneir ewn business instead ef meddling with theirs; and eclipses, no longer moon-swallowing menstsrs, are only very natural and well-behaved shadows. Since psychology Is studied, we know that witchcraft la folly, and inaanlty ia onlv a disease to be treated aad cured. Thus scieaoe like a mother going up stairs to bed with her frightened boy bM been with ber candle Into all the old dark corner that need to maks us or sap and cringe and shiver with terror.

Shall Less Than Twelve Decide Onlniona of Cnleaew Lawyers the i'New Minnesota Jury The eleven stubborn aad Ignorant men who from time immemorial bave been thwarting Justice and the will of tbe twelfth Juror are finding defenders in this age of Irreverent comment on hoary custom and sacrificed precedent.

And these champions, too. are found net alone among those innocent of ail legal knowledge, but among that most conservative and volubls class, Judges and the lawyers, A dispatch from St. Paul says the governor ot that state has decided to Issue a proelamatioa declaring the adoption by the people ot the constitutional amendment making a verdiet by fl ve-eixtbs et a Jury In a civil aetioa valid. This be will do on advice that the provision ot the constitution providing for "a majority et those present aad voting" does not mean -a majerltyef thoee voting at the election, bat a majority ot tboM voting en the pending ameudmena. On that point and the other one, to the policy of making any number ef a Jury 1cm than tha whole eompeteat to decide a ease, a number ef lodges and lawyers were interviewed yesterday.

On the Minnesota question they eould say Uttle or nothing, they had not examined the provisions of the constitution of that state, though those who oared to express a viaw believed the governor's poslr tlon to be untenable. On the other point nearly all were unaaimeue In desiring a change In the Jury law whleh would give a certain number less than the whole but larger than a mere majority of the twelve Intelligent Jurymen" the power to declare a verdict la ail civil and criminal eases, except wban the offense was a capital oae. State's Attorney Longeneeker I have for a long time favored a change declaring; nine of the twelve Jurymen competent to give a verdict in any case that wm not a capital one. It requires but a mere majority of tha supreme court, which le tha final arbiter, to determine all issues. do not believe Justice would suffer by the change, while In most Instances tha adjudication ot Cases would be hastened and costs lessened, W.

J. Hynee I am decidedly in favor of chancing the law, but In tbe ehaage would embody some peoular eonditloaa and gradations ot majorities. As to the la believe we ought not to require unanimity in Jurors after the first two hours of their consultation. This would give ample time to the minority; whether of one or more, to present Its views and arguments. Oftentimes one man of clear Judgment and businesa experience might auooeed in showing the other eleven that they were wrong, or in part misapprehended the issue.

After the expiration of those two boars eleven Jurors should be authorized to return verdict, and the time for discussion advanced tha requisite number should be hourly decreased until after a certain number of hoars three-fourths of tbe Jury should be competent to render a verdict. I see no reason why these rules should not be applied to capital oases, except that I think the constitution of tha United States would require unanimity. 1. Judge Scales in eriminal cases I think any number less than a unit and more than a bare majority of the Jury should be Mtlsf aotory.

E1 Chalequero." Tne Mexican "Jack the Kipper" geav--. teneed to Too Tbe eelebraud trisl of Franelseo Guerrero, known ss "El Chalequero," wm eon-eluded yesterday morning. The prisoner was found guilty ef two homicides, and was Mnteneed to be shot. Besides the two murders, he was adjudged guilty ef having committed seven rapes and various robberies and assaults on women. Thus ends ana of the moat famous criminal Seses that bM occupied the courts of Mexico for some time.

Guerrero committed the greater number of these crime on the read between Mexioo and Guadalupe, and the story ot them resembles in many points the acts of "Jack the Kipper," of Whlteohapel fame. The first murder lmputsd to aim eoouxrsd in 1883, whea the body of an unknown woman wm found in the suburbs, whose death bad been eaused by a small, sharp instrument, apparently a shoemaker's knife. In succession other bodies of women, murdered In exactly the asms manner, were discovered in the neighborhood, and several women made complaints against Guerrero tor robbery and outragM oommltted on them by blm. He was and for many months bM been in prison while the evidence against him was accumulated, and the tolls tightened about htm that shut all hopes ot escape for him. The evidence In the mur ders wm circumstantial, xne ouim mj wounds on the body ot bis victims showed that a small knife like those used oy shoemakers wm the weapon employed, and "El Chalequero" bad been ssen with such a knife in his posaesaion, he being, by trade, a Till, in Connection With the evidence given by the women whom, he had robbed, and wnose persons ne oau vioiatou.

The variety of soups that are now canned bo aa to be ready for consumption with very little trouble as to heating is remarkable. One may select from this list: Tomato, mock turtle, ox-tail, consomme, julienne, macaroni, ekra. gumbo, green turtle, chicken, pea, beef, bouillon Maggi, vermicelli, mullig-tswney, clam broth and clam chowder. All tbese soaps come in cans, and, with nothing more to be done than a little heating, are ready for tbe table. If oue does not care' to oegm ms dinner with soup, be may do so with oysters.

These come in cans, and one may have either Saddle Bocks or Sine' Points as he pleases, or both. Jf he prefers clams to he cam have them, for Little Necks are now done np so well in cans that they may be had at hand always. For fish he may choose from bloaters, fresh mackerel, fresh salmon, white fish and brook trout, In-ci dsn tally, for relishes, he may have olives, radishes and even celery. When it eome to meats, we find a vast KoMt chicken, roast turkey, roast beef, ham, rout lamb, rottt mutton, and roast dnck are all canned. The vegetable list comprises-asparagus in a half dozen varieties, corn, toraatoes, peas, unccolash.

spinach, squash, potatoes. Boston baked beans, lima bean and st ring less beans. For game he may have pheasant, quail, partridge grouse, woodcock, snipe, and wild dnck. By this time he may bo ready for his dessert, and for that he may choose from all kinds of finite, jellies, marmalades, or English plum padding. The lstt not only comes in cans, but is even accompanied.

by the necessary sauce. Other things that are canned and that may be made to tit here and there in a dinner are lobster, chicken, and shrimp salads sardines and deviled crabs, that are not only canned, bat are sold with the accompanying crab shells, so that the deviled orab may be nerved just as thoogh it had been picked ont and especially prepared for the occasion. addition to this lint-then are to be found in cans and ready for consumption codfish green turtle, herring, smelts, Iambs' tongue, boned turkey, boned chicken, ox tongue, chipped beef, smoked beef, ham sausage, compressed ham, pig's feet, tripe, deviled chicken, ham, lobster, tongue, and turkey Dotted dnck, chicken, tongue, game, ham, and turkey Boston brown bread and evaporated vegetables of all kinds. The list of canned fruits includes apples, apricots, blackberries, blaeberries, cherries, cranberry sauce, figs, grapes, sroose berries, peaches, pears. Dineao- ples, plums, quinces, raspberries, straw- oernes, ana even preservea.

roses There are also fruit jellies of every, kind, and fruit preserves, jams, and butter. Mince meat and desiccated cocoanut likewise come In cans. With the extension of the food 8tui canned there has also come ah improvement in the cans used. Whereas it formerly required a great deal of trouble to open a tin can of any sort, this difficulty has been overcome by a' simple though curious device. Around the can is soldered a strip of tin, one end of which may be fitted in a key; by turning this key the soldered run is twisted off without the least trouble and the can ia opened for use.

Many people may not like a tin-can dinner, bat those who eat such a dinner, either from choice or necessity, certainly cannot complain of the variety or Quantity of the food at their service.
