THE BICYCLE.

This has been a great week for the BIZ
cycle enthusiasts, and the results of the
contests have been such as to gain more
devotees of the whirring wheel. Some
records have been broken ana the sport
has been conducted in L fair and equi-
table manner. Considering that bicyc.
ling in its present form is only four Or
five years old, the popularity it has OBJ.
tanned is surprising to the laymen- To
the crank" however, there is no.
thing astonishing about it. The modern
bicycle offers a means of getting over
ground that is at Cnco healthlul and eco
nomical. The silent steed needs 10 oats.
A drop of oil now and then satisfies its
appetite. 1t doesn't die; it isn't subject
to SPAWN. ringbone or CHAMBERS. 1t
does'nt run away, and no stable is re-
quired to shelter 1t. Seated on its back
the rider laughs to scorn the crowded
cable cars aud the elevated road. HIS
cheeks glow with the ruddy health en-
gendered by the exercise, and he would
not exchange places with the fashionable
in the dog cart whom he leaves far be
hind on the boulevard. 1t is no wonder
then, that all bicyclers are enthusiasts.
They have right to be. They enjoy
advantages over ordinary people, and
they are only human in showing that
they possess them.

RETAINING YOUTH IN MATURE
LIFE.

Not only does the vivacity, the enthu
siasm, which belongs to youth carry Tx
man who retains it in middle age oyel
difficulties, but it brings him the sym
psthy and applause of the world, which
is sometimes refused to more worthy
men.
We honor Bacon, out we give our af.
lection to Charles Lamb. Washington,
Jefferson, Adams, and Webster com.
manded the homage and veneration Of
the nation, bat it loved Clay, Lincoln,
and Blaine, with all their faults.
The tendency of American life is to
force our young people into shrewd
adults, who try anxiously to rid them
selves of impulse and emotion.
1t is a common sarcasm among the
young that their fathers and mothers Ell.
joy jokes and are touched by sentiment
which their children are quite too old to
care for.
But may not the fin de steele boys and
girls be losing an element Of strenlh
when they forget how to weep and make
merry.

EFFECT OF FAITH IN TIMES OF

A BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
Chicago Switchmen Present Demands
for More Money-GeneraI Managers Re-

Chicago Switchmen Present Demands
for More Money-General Managers Re-
fuse.
CHICAGO, March "A strike of the
switehmen and switch tenders on the
Michigan Central railroad is iminent
and Il it is not promptly settled there is
possibility of its leading to complca-
tions on other roads.
Last Friday the employees of the Mich
igan Central formulated demand for
an increase Of wages, with the intima-
tion that an answer would be looked
for on Monday loon. The increase de-
manded was 80 cents an hour for night
helpers; night foremen 10 get 80 and "a
cents. II these demands are not grant
ed the men say they will strike and the
majority Of the engineers and fremen
on the switching engines will, the
switchmen say, stand by them.
The large majority Of the dissatisfied
men on the Michigan Central are nom
union men, and Grand Master Wilson,
of the Switchmen'S Association, said to-
day that he had no power over them,
though for the sake Of his own men
working on the road, he was endeavor-
ing to prevent strike.
The dissatisfied men have left the
matter in the hands of their own com
mittee and the officers of the Switch
mems Association, but the feeling
among them is strong, both on account
of wages paid and time-some of them
claiming to be worked seventeen hours
a day, and if they don't receive what
they ask they will, they say, walk out
In body.
1t was learned to-day that a secret
meeting of the switchmen held in this
city some time ago, and at which every
road entering Chicago was represented,
il was determined for all TO present de-
mandS for increase of wages and for re-
drees OF grievances, to the general
managers by noon on March 6. On
eveoy road complaints have been sent
in and committees have begun to nego-
tiate, and will know by tomorrow after
noon, and the question Of a strike will
depend entirely upon the outcome OF
these meetings.
Less than week ago q meeting Of
the general managers of all roads en-
terlng Chicago was held. 1t was unan-
imously declared the sense OF the meet
ing that no increase in wages would be
granted during the present veal. The
men declare that this is only bluff on
the part of the general managers and
the demands which have been sent in
will soon show how much firmness there
is behind the resolution.

ALONG-L DAUGHTER.
After Many Years Located In an Indiana
Camp-The Mother Had Sought In Vain
for Years for Her-A Romance.

for Years for Ber-A Romance.
TOLEDO, o., March 5.-A romantic
affair has just developed in this city
which, while rivaling the Charley Ross
narrative in some details, is vouched
for In every particular.
George Burt died in 1s4S, and his
widow, who made her home at Chester,
o., was unable, through poverty, TO
properly care for her little girl and her
self, and gave the child to family
named Butler TO keep.
The little tot was bright, wlnsome
lass, and the family soon made over
lures TO sas a Sd9l7d haer rJfitbellE cagbssTq
family. In 1851 she married j. II.
Churchill, and then demanded the little
one, but was persuaded by she Buffers
TO permit it to remain with them.
The Churchills shortly afterward
moved TO Illinois, and few years later
received the startling information that
Butler was charged with having passed
counterfeit money and had left the
country. Mrs. Churchill came TO Ohio
for her child, and ascertained that Mrs.
Butler and the girls had gone
to Cleveland. ARRIVING In Cleve-
| land, she was met Win
demand for 5000 for board and care for
her daughter, which she was unable TO
nav. and Mrs. Butler still remained the
Bnrt girl with her. But Mrs. Church
IN returned TO illinois. and finally sue
ceeded in securing the money and jour
new back to Cleveland only TO find that
Mrs. Butler and the girl had gone, no
one seemed to know whittier. The
next heard OF the Buffers they were on
An Indian reservation In Minnesota, the
ex-counterfeiter engaged as traper.
Mrs. Churchill. however, spentagreat
deal of time and considerable money In
endeayoring 10 locate them, but never
succeeded In doing so. Years iater
there appeared In the southern part OF
! Illinois an Indian medicine company,
with whom was woman named La
Verre. who told such a remarkable
story OF her past life that relative OF
Mrs. Churchill hearing ii wrote 10 her,
and the letter resulted in continued
correspondence. When the medicine
| company visited southern Michigan
town few days ago, Mrs. Churchiil
went 10 see the woman whom she
thought might possibly be her long-lost
daughter. Those who saw the two
women together remarked the wonder
full resemblance. As near ss the La
Verre woman can recall there seems "a
be a slight discrepancy as 10 age, but as
she can remember 80 little beyond the
time she went west with the Butler fam.
| ily. this may be accounted for. As yet
neither party is absolutely positive, al.
though quite sure as 70 the relationship.
Madame La Verre has written u
her old Indian home with
view Of securing positive proofs 9i
her identity. Mrs. Churchill is now az
old woman, and she declares IL she
could only be satisfied as TO the bonds
of relationship existing between them
that Madame La Verre was indeed hei
long-lost daughter-she would be con
tent. She resides on Mscomber street
in Toledo, at present, and the life-lonI
search for her daughter has been con
slant worry and source OF many burn
ing heartaches for long years.
