STANFORD MAP RESIGN.
His Ill Health and Other Reasons Incline
Him to Leave the Senate.


SAN Francisco. May S.-The Examiner this
morning prints story. apparently we'll au-
thenticated. that Senator Stanford will resign
early next year should Republican Lcgisla-

several intimate friends Of his determination

warned him that absolute rost ard freedom
from excitement are imperative in his present
condition. His mind Ia eloar. but he is in an
exceptionally nervous state. with unnatural
facial redness. and has much difficulty In
walking about, even indoors.
Mrs. Stanford Is much, worried IN conse-
Quence. and thinks TINT he can prolong his
life by retiring from public life altogether aud
living quietly at Palo Alto.
The Senator himself IL much worried at the
result OF the diagnosis by his physicians. and
for this reason Is going to Carlsbad this sum-
mer in the hope that he will got immediate re-
lief from his present difficulty
Another thing which his friends say has in
is the disappointment, Of his political ambi-
tion. He really hoped to 10 candidate for
the Presidency. and he attributes his failure
to the ridcule and abuse henped uIon him by
Huntington and his friends when the change
was made in the Southern Pacific Presidency.
II he resigns there will be u lively skirmish

WHY BICYCLES ARE COSTLY.

They Arc Made with Great Caro- on the
interchangeable Principle.
The Iron Age attempts to explain why
high grade bicycle costs SO much
why the price of it puts it out of the
reach of the ordinary working man or
woman. In tho first place the bicycle
must be made on the INTERCHANGEABLE
principle, SO that a missing or broken
part can be supplied by the factory at
once All of such parts undergo rigid
system of inspection, being subjected to
the severe strains which they must
stand while the machine is in use. Main
parts, like the sprockct wheel, hubs,
bearing, ETC., are gagued, tho allow
ance for variation being one-quarter of
thousandth. variation in excess of
this throws the piece out. The method
OF "stringing" the wheel is thus de-
scribed: The outer ends of the spokes
are threaded in order to enter the hard
ened brass nipple, the cap of which
is, OF course, on tho outer side of the
rim. The boy who strings the wheel
up merely tightens the nipples sufli-
GENTLY to hold the parts together. After
this the wheel goes to an expert work.
man, who tightcns the spolles, bringing
them all under the desired tension. The
wheel is then mounted on the axle and
turned, piece of chalk held near the
rim serving to indicate any irregularity.
To correct such defects and make the
wheel perfectly true the nipples are
frightened or loosened. This is sim
pie matter, and yet one requiring great
judgment" The brazing of the joints
and the making of the felloe or iron to
receive the rubber tire are also opera
tons requiring tho greatest precision
and delicacy of handling. In short,
there is no part of the modern bicycle
that can be turned out without the
closest attention to detail. The day has
not come when it can be made factory
fashion.
