A Ladies' Bicycle Club.

A ladies' bicycle club has been formed
in this city, and although the organiza-
tion is but week old, it already COM
prises thirty active members. 1t is
expected that the organization of this
club will do much toward bring
ing the ladies bicycle into as general use
as the tricycle..
"The numbering tricycle. has had its
day." said the President of the club to
q reporter. "The new bicycle answers
all requirements for ladies', and all pref
udice against it disappears at once, even
fIom its most radical opponents, the in
slant they see it controlled by grace

be graceful on tricycle.. On a bicycle,
too, only the toe and heel are exposed,
and the embarrassing awkardness of the

will be q tight fitting body or Norfolk,
full skirt, walking length, and riding
hat and gloves. The ladies of the club
will not appear ON the streets except in
riding costumes, and with permission of
their teacher, and will not ride in pa
rade. the club will be kept strictly
private and first-class. Ladies will be
elected to membership only when pro-
posed by members. and then by unani-
nous vote. Gentlemen will be admitted
only as honorary members. Some of
the members of the club have already
mastered the bicycle and others are

the superior pleasures and advantages

THE SULTAN UNAWED.

The last cable advices from Tangier,
received at the State Department at
Washington, in regard to the expected
settlement of the pending difficulty are
not, it is understood, as encouraging as
they were believed to be. The Sultan of
Morocco is not only disposed not to refer
the controverted question of authority to
arbitration, but the evidences are that he
is inclined to assert his authority by sus-
tanning his views in a forcible way.
This, it is said at the State Department,
is most deeply regretted, because our
government has nothing more formidable
with which to assail the sultan than the
missives of the State Department; and II
diplomatic correspondence should fail to
awe the sultan into accepting the views
of the State Department it has, tits said,
no reason to hope for any moral support
from the navy. The correspondence.
however, will continue, with the hope
that Consul General Lewis may subjugatc
the sultan by peaceful methods.

WORSE THAN MORPHINE HABIT.
\ Man Takes Phosphorus Daily for
Years and is q Total Wreck Now.

SAN Francisco, CAL.-JOhn Clayton,
now i'll the City and County Hospital
here, is of particular interest both to
medical men and the world at large as
the victim of a rather new ''habit." He
presents the first instance i'll medical
science as known ont here of ''phos-
phorus habit" and he has become as
complete slave to this substance,
which he takes in the form of pills. as
any morphine fiend is to his habit. The
result is that he has suffered torturcs
from blood poisoning, and his lower jaw
bone has decayed SO badly that he has
had to have it taken ont.
When he applied to the hospital for
admission two weeks ago it was found
that he was suffering from necrosis, or
decay, of the lower maxillary, and from
a general breaking up of his nervous
system. His jaws were swollen and his
mouth SO distented that his facial ap-
pearance was repulsive. His face had a
peculiar ashen pallor, different from
that usually produced by illness. The
gums were so contracted that portions
of the jaw were exposed. Pus had
caused blood poisoning, and this pro-
duced such intense pain that he had
been taking daily half grain of NOR
phia. Clayton said that while serving
as hospital steward of his regiment in
the army fourteen years ago he had
seen phosphorus given to sick soldiers
as nerve stimulant Afterward, when
he felt some symptoms of nervous de-
bility, he began taking phosphorus pills.
1t seemed to put new strength and en-
ergy into his nervous system, and so he
kept 1t up for several months. When
he ceased the practice he felt the former
symptoms returning, and so took up the
phosphorus again. He found that he
could not stop its use without his nerves
giving way; and for years he has used
the drug unremittingly, always carrying
with him his case of pills. For the last
year he has taken daily onc-tenth of a
grain. Physicians consider one-hun-
dredth part of grain a regular dose,
and even then they carefully watch its
effect. The amount that Clayton has
lately been taking daily would ki u ~
ordinary man.
When he applied to the bspital the
physicians told him thatllis ONLY hope
for life was in the .gmnoval of the Jaw
bone. This wasdone, and the patient
is now gettingon fairl y well, though it
is doubtiullf he can live. He is fed
upon lguid food, and good deal of
stlIlulant of various kinds is given him,
5ut he constantly begs for phosphorus,
and Graves it so much that frequent hy-
podermic injections of morphine are
given to keep him quiet.

A TRAIN WRECKED.

A Burlington & Quincy freight train
was badly wrecked when entering the
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
yards at Chicago, ILL.,, and under circum-
stances which leads to the belief that it
was the work of the strikers or sympa-
thizers. After the engine and two cars
had passed, some unknown miscreant
threw the switch and the next fifteen
cars were piled up in hopeless wreck in
a ditch. Just as the switch was thrown.

cars, and at the same time a car Of
