cern on this point. Molineux is % years
old, 5 feet Q inches tall and weighs l35
pounds. His chest measures 80 inches in
natural state, upper arm 1874 inches, and
forearm l2A inches. He has never been
beaten In a horizontal bar contest, and won
the first championship for this event given
In this country In 1885 from a field Of sew
enteen performers. In 1886 and 1851 he did
not compete, for the fixture was held in
New York city and he was out west in
business, but he returned in 1883 and won
the event again amid flying colors. F. j.
Hosp won It the two years Molineux was
away, but he took second place in 1883.
In 1859 Molineux was O member Of the
New York Athletic club, and wore that
clubs colors in the horizontal bar cham
pionship for that year, which he won again
just as easily As on former occasions. In
1880, owing to close confinement to
business, he did not compete, and he says
he has retired from competition. The
standard of excellence he has left Is a most
difficult q for other horizontal bar per-
formers to reach, and 1t Is doubtful II the
feats Molineux used to do will be du-
plicated by an amateur for many years.
He commenced practicing his speciality
while at Sedgwick institute, Great Bar
rington, Mass, and continued after leav-
ing there at the gymnasium of the Young
Mems Christian association, Brooklyn,
where Lis superiority soon showed itself.
He has during the past half dozen
years taken part in many exhibitions and
competitions, and his work on the various
Ladies' Days" Of the New York Athletic
club and at the celebrated amateur circus
arranged by ylr. james NJ. Waterbury
made n lasting impression. His services
have been much sought after and 10 satisfy
all requests he would have to not only
keep himself In constant practice, but the
actual time spent in rendering favors would
amount in the long run to something con-
siderable. Soon after becoming expert on
the single bar he tried feats on the double
horizontal bar, and the ease and finish of
his throws, shoots and somersaults from
n bar to the other have been equaled by
very few professionals.

Mrs. Mary Z. Bryan has completed her
emotional drama of "Manche," which she
dramatized from her successful novel OF
that name, and read IL toa large number

who gave n reception for that purpose.
Among the friends were Mrs. Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, Miss Fannie Edgar Thomas, Mr..

plot well worked out, and her characters
are all living, breathing beings. Three Of

The Dangers OF Pole vauIting.

Word comes from various places showing
that accidents ut pole vaulting, mostly the
breaking OF the poles, still continue. and
one recently at Staten Island, where the
athlete landed heavily on his spine 30 that
be could not get up for some time, rather
dampened the whole games. The main
trouble is that athletes wishing to excel In
this game use poles far too light for them,
which when grasped high up to clear q
great elevation snap between the grip
and the ground. There are cases On record
OF athletes meeting with such an accident
having been impaled on the lower end,
falling directly down on it. At almost
any competition five or six different sizes
of poles can be found brought by different
athletes, and IL is not unusual to zee q LOO

TO THE FARMERS ALLIANCE

DEAR SIsTERs:-Knowing as l do,
that the geographical situation OF a
certain small portion Of Hartford
county, n. c., in which there lives
about thirty children, entirely de-
prives them of thu advantages of the
public schools, and having had my
sympathies aroused for them, know
ing that the pecuniary condition OF
their parents makes it impossible for
them to board their children from
home in order to attend school, L
have decided to make IN effort IN be-
half of these little ones and join hands
with a sister who says that she is
heart and hand with me and is willing
to dvOte her entire time and talent,
free of any charge, to the teaching OF
these little ones and as many more as
may be in this unfortunate condition.
We need books and a comfortable
house to begin this school. And l
kindly appeal to the charity of our
sisters in the Farmers Alliance and to
all Christian friends to aid me in this
work and any one feeling willing to
do so will please send their little do
nations to John Hare, Mapleton, N. G.
Remember we do not expect much
ana will thankfully accept Of Is cents
from each Sub Alliance.

twelve months ago you scarcely saw

throughout the country, but to day,
you cannot pick up a paper, let it be

reference to the Alliance or it's methods.
Twelve months ago politicians ignored

UNEQUAL FREIGHTS.
A Powerful Argument in Favor Of Gov
X eminent Control of Railroads.

A Powerful Argument in Favor OF Gov
X rnmen Control of Railroads.
The government railroads of Russia
are paying great and fast growing
profits into the treasury of that En-,
pire. In 1888 the net surplus was
$1,000, 900 In 1880 it is said to
have been SIT, 500, 900.
Taking this as a basis, our railroads,
if they were operated by the govern
ment, would pay all taxes, National,
State and municipal.
India has more than $4,000 miles
of railroad and magnificent depots,
iron telegraph poles, and the lowest
fares in the world.
Now the poor, degraded paupers of
India can earn but seven cents a day
and board themselves. But the fare
for this class of passengers is only
one seventeenth of a cent per mile, or
for one days labor the common laOorer
of India can ride on the govern ment
roads of that country ll9 miles.
The common laborer of the United
States will not earn more than $3.50
per day, on an average, and board
himself; but a three cents per mile
he can only ride fifty miles for the
price of one days labor-an advantage
in favor of the poor pauper of India
of sixty nine miles for one days labor,
or 25, 1876 miles further that a pauper
can ride in a year than the great and
free independent American citizen.
