weaker sex Of the burden of a third
wheel and set women all over the
country to cycling The pneumatic
tire has placed the bicycle racer
abreast of the trotting horse for short
distances and away ahead of it for long
ones. The prices of machines" have
dropped as their quality improved.
The improvement of the common roads
has been due largely to the persistent
clamor of cyclists and reacts to in
crease their number.
There are between $50, 600 and 300,
900 wheels in the country, not count
ing the myriads of children's veloci-
pedes. AS some Of the cycles are
hired out and some owned in partner
ship and some are tandems and carry
double, there may not be so very many
short of 500, 900 regular and occasional
wheelmen in this country.
The safety or goat" bicycle is the
universal favorite nowadays with men
and women alike. The reasons are
many. The certainty of avoiding tum-
bles is not the only one. Safeties are
all practically of the same size, and if
owner ever gets tired Of one he has no
difficulty in selling it, If he has big
wheel the difficulty Of selling is ten
fold. First, he has to find man who
wants wheel of that sort, and few
do nowadays, and then it's literally ten
chances to one that the purchasers
legs won't be of the right length. The
dealers like the safeties, too, as they
are made in one size and three styles,
and there is no necessity of carrying
unstable sizes to suit an occasional
long or shortlegged man.
Men wheel because they want to,
women because others do. 1t makes
an immense difference whether bi-

Starts wrong" it may languish for
years unless the leaders happen to take

The cushion tire proves to be not
much of al improvement upon the solid
kind, but great things are expected of
the pneumatic tire, which consists of a
hollow rubber tube blown full of air.
The great trouble with tire so far is
that it has to be made soft and flexible,
and soon wears and bursts. It may
be doubted whether it will ever be
much used on cheap load machines,
but for track-racing it is certainly a
great invention, saving several seconds
on the mile. One inventive Philadel-
phian has devised a steam tricycle.

How AN Ohio Man Obtained Sleep.

Sunday evening two young men re-
tired in one of the principal hotels and
went to sleep, One of these guests
was from Ohio, the other a genuine
frontiersman from Dakota. They slept
until a. m. Sunday, when they were
awakened by a couple of registering
youths who occupied an adjoining
room, and who were hilariously drunk.
The youths shouted and sang and
cursed until guests all around COM
menced to protest; and then they
shouted and cursed and sang all the
louder.
The Dakota man rang for porter
and sent him to quiet the unruly youths,
but with no other effect Then the
Ohioan arose, tied suspender around
his waist, rolled up the sleeves of his
night shirt and walked to the door
whence came the riotous sounds. He
knocked, and one of the drunken fell
lows opened it. The Ohio man didn't
stop to talk, He charged into that
room, belted one youth in the neck
knocking him on top of the bed.
Quick as flash he seized the other
and hurled him bodily across the first.
Then he pounded their heads together
while he regained his breath, and told
them that if they woke him up again,
he would come in aud throw both of
'em through the window. He slept IN
peace until breakfast time-Phila0e!-

grading shall have taken place.
In the accomplishment OF this work q
force of as high as SEQ men has at times
been employed. In addition to tho men
who have been employed on the shovel
gangs and at tho Scrapors, and on the
trains, dredgcrs have been constantly at
work on the artificial canal at the north
side Of the ground. This canal was dug
several years ago by the Park Commits
siOncrS, and was, at the time it was com
plcted about eight feet deep But the
sand thereabOut is of q shifting and I'M
stable nature and gradually slipped into
the canal, until it was Swallowed so that
the dredgcs COu d not at first enter the
mouth Of the canal.
The Worlds Fair Board determined to
extend the canal through the grounds,
quite to the center. so as to form an Or
namGntal island, and transform a part
of the plan into a miniature Venice.
According to the original plans, two of
the main buildings are to be separated
by canal frequently spanned by orna-
mental bridges.
All Of the loan, even below water
mark, will be saved that is taken from
this canal and transported to the south

Women at Auction Sales.

"Our best friends are the women, !"
said an aucti0ueer to New York Iel-

his red flag in front of a fancy and no.
ton store. "The average woman is
the most determined bidder, for when
a woman will she WILL and that's
equally true when she sets her mind
on getting q bargain at an auction sale
as it is when she wants to have the
last word with her husband. The
women who attend auction sales of any
kind are neither very rich nor very
poor. They are from the comfortable
class. The women enjoy shopping and
we like to see them at our sales, for we
know the prices, and of course it fol
lows the commissions will be higher
than if their men folks did the bidding.
"Some women have perfect mania
for attending auction sales They will

FAM1LYAFtn1orED WIrH RABIES.

Four Members of Household in the
Awful Clutches of Hydrophobia--The
Disease Transmitted From Calf Skin.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 10.-The
fourth Of the Vandeyer family at
Atchison, Kan, has been taken with
hydrophobia. The father was stricken
yesterday and his death is momentarily
expected. One member of the family
died Saturday and two Others it seems
cannot recover. The cases are the most
remarkable ever heard Of in the west.
There are six brothers and one sister in
the family and there is considerable
apprehension lest more of them should
be stricken. Dr. King says that there
is no doubt that the disease was trans
mitted to the boys when they skinned
the affected calf nine years ago. Thos,
Nandever is resting easier.
The condition of his mind has entirely
changed since yesterday morning He
is now quite convinced that he will live.
When DIR. King called ON him he was
engaged in writing letter of consola-
ton to his father.
Jacob Vandever, the 15-years-old boy,
has not taken particle of nourishment
since he was attacked by rabies Satur-
day. The popularity Of the strange
disease is its centerng at the muscles of
the throat, completely preventing him
from swallowing. The sight of any
thing nourishing or anything that sug-
gests swallowing, throws him into the
most horrible commissions.
