Late squire Abingdon.
NEW YoRK. March 20.-Charles Mitchell,
who is staying at the Gedney, yesterday
read carefully the biography of his de
ceased friend and hacker, Squire Abingdon
Baird To many of the published state
ments Mitchell took decided exception,
particularly that which represented the
squire as a sort of person about whom
prize fighters were wont to hang and the
inference that might be deducted concern
ing his own connection with the deceased
millionaire sportsman.
esquire Abingdon and ~ he said, "have
been friends I might say pals, for seven
years, but never in my life have / been
under any obligation to him either tiuan-
cially or otherwise. He accompanied me
to this country at his own solicitation. His
solicitors, Lumley and Lumley then said
that ] had saved his life by getting him
out Of bed aud getting him to interest him
self in anything for he had been confined
to his rGom for three weeks and was not
expected TO live.
"It was not necessary for the SQUIRE to
find money for me to bind this match with
Corbett. My father-in-law, Pony Moore,
put up So, 800 to make the match for $l0,-
coo a side, ten weeks prior to any intima-
ton that the squire would back me- The
chances were then 600 to / that Abing-
ton would never come to the United States
and l certainly have not expected anything
from the squire, for during my previous re
lations with him we quareled-the only
quarrel we ever had
In talking about the offer of Corbett to
fight him for the purse and honor, without
any side bet If necessary, Mitchell said:
cit is the only good thing l have ever
known Jim TO do or say. OF course 1 ap-
preciate his kindness, though 1 think his
charity comes little too late. The only
time l want Corbett to treat me nice is
when we are in the ring and then the bet
ter he treats me the worse | will use him.
Among those who spent part of the day
with Mitchell were Edward Everett Bell,
Ike Thompson, the wealthy bool1maker,
and jim Hall
Mitchell said that Hall was ready to
I fight Fitzsimmons at the middle-weight
limit in the same week and before the same
club in which the fight between him and
COTbett would come off.

SHOULD CHILDREN CYCLE.
Az Eminent Surgeons Opinion Very
Important Question.

Important Question.
A very interesting discussion Is now
under way among certain physicians as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of allowing young
children to ride the bicycle. BY some
it is urged that the childs frame, being
in an immature state and capable of be-
ing distorted much more easily than
later in life, is apt TO be more or less
Informed by the wheel. Others assert
that the exercise is highly beneficial,
whether partaken of by old or young.
There is a third class which takes the
middle ground that bicycle riding can
do no harm to any one, young or old,
provided he or she forms the habit of
sitting perfectly upright.
1t may be here stated that the for
ward bend, which is SO commonly seen
in riders about New York city, is not
only extremely ungraceful, but is detri-
mental to the health as Well There
seems to be an idea among bicyclists
that the machine can be ridden faster
and more easily by placing the seat
back as far as possible and leaning over
to reach the handles That this is an
erroneous notion can readily be proved
by adopting both this and the upright
method for while. The latter will be
found far more comfortable and digni-
fed
1t is true that racers bend forward,
but this is merely to avoid as much as
possible the resistance of the atmos-
phere. No racer will bend himself
double when he has long distance to
travel.
A celebrated English physician and
surgeon. who is well informed as 20 the
effect of bicycle riding on the constitu-
ton. has been interviewed, and renders
the following opinion:
THE question whether young chill
dren between the ages, say. of six and
twelve should BE allowed to cycle, and,
If allowed, how much they may indulge
in the pastime without incurring the
risk of injury, is one of considerable in
terest, and has of late provoked dis
cussion. This. like most medical ques-
tons. is subject on which no man.
who forms his opinion after due iivesti-
CATION, can pronounce dogmatically. or
lay down any strict and invarfa bic
rules: for there are children and chill
dren, and what for one small boy or
girl might he merely healthy and bene-
fetal exercise for another might mean
physical ruin. But while each case
must be judged on its own merit. enc
fundamental principle may be clearly
enuncisted, namely that no young
child with any organic weakness,
whether Of heart, lungs, joints
or nervous system should be al
lowed to mount a machine IN
der any circumstances whatever
Eliminating, then those who. az this
period OF their lives, are disqualified by
nature there Is Do doubt that the exer
cis.s Of cycling, properly regulated and
adjusted to the capabilities II the indi-
vidual Is one of the very best forms of
recreation that can be psrtasen % ~

SIMPLY INFAMOUS.

The self-sacrificing Democratic Post.
Dispatch of st. Louis has assumed the
duty of assisting in ferreting out the
frauds connected with the pension
bureau, and, in furtherance of the
scheme, has begun the publication in
its columns Of the entire list of pen
sioners in Missouri. Whatever may be
said in defense of the ostensible object
of this patriotic O. service on the part of
the P.-D., the real purpose is to as far as
possible humlliate and hold up to ridi-
cnle all who are receiving the measured
bounty of the government they rescued.
Such Infamous intermeddling with the
governments affairs, for the transaction
of which it has an deliberately organized
and equipped department specially pro-
vIded, ought to bring down upon the
heads of those thus engaged the severest
execrations of all honest and fair-mind-
ed people. If frauds exist In the pen
sion roll as it is made up there is not the
slightest doubt that the present hostile
administration will discover them and
will make haste to give the discovery
the widest official publicity, and the at
tempt referred 10 to humiiate the vet
Grams of the Union will not facilitate the
work one whit.

BANKS OF AGR1CULTURA1 STATES.

From the Topeka Capital.
According to the full official govern
ment report Of the grain production of
the United States in 1892, Kansas stood
first in production of wheat with &c, S31, :
900 bushels: Minnesota second, with Al, :
210, 900 bushels, and California third,
with 80, 157. 900 bushels. The crop of
Kansas rivaled the combined crops of
the next two states and exceeded the
greatest yield previously recorded by any
state in the Union,
In corn Iowa carries the banner, with
a crop of over 200 million bushels, Illi-
nois coming second with over 165 mil
lions, Nebraska third with over 1856 mill
lions, Missouri coming fourth with over
1913 millions and Kansas fifth with about
146 millions. Indiana comes next q long
way off with 1913 millions.
In oats Iowa again leads with crop
of about 80 million bushels, Illinois sec
ond with IS millions, Wisconsin third
millions and Nebraska sixth with 43
millions.
On the three principal grain crops
Iowa is the first state in the Union with
a grand total of 303 million bushels, Hi
HOiS SGCOuu Will ~UC IliIiiOuS, NdHStsS
third with 260 millions, Nebraska fourth
with 215 millions, Missouri fifth with 1872
millions, Indiana sixth with 165 millions
and Ohio seventh with 14S millions.
The approximate value of the three
crops places Iowa first with a total value
at home of 10S million dollars; Illinois
second, 106 million dollars; Kansas THIRD.
100 million dollars; Nebraska fourth, 70
million dollars, and Missouri fifth, 60
million dollars.
From these comparisons, which hold
good with some variations for the last
five years, Iowa deserves to rank as the
first agricultural state in the Union,
with Illinois and Kansas close second
and third and Nebraska next at con-
siderable distance IN the rear. The total
volume and value of the staple crops in
Iowa, Illinois and Kansas entlte them
to rank alone with no rivals among the
agricultural states in the Union and
with the greater cheapness of Kansas
land and the greater area of it not yet
under cultivation it will not be long be-
fore the Sunfiower state outstrips Hill
nois and rivals Iowa.

KANSAS Has HAD Her SWEAT.

| If Kansas and her towns were first to
project "a boom," it is equally true that
her people and interests were tbs first to
realize the squeeze Of the sequel Her
speculative imitation collapsed long be:
fore the reaction was felt by other states
Kansas had in reality Iquidated before
the obligations of other sections had
fallen due. and today her people, her
towns and all her interests, are down to
bed rock, solidlv, safe from any and
all impending troubles which may
be threatening eastern corporations and
the municipalities of the Pacific coast.
II the present stringency and uneasiness
Of the eastern money centers had occur
red two years ago it would have meant
ruin for Kansas but two big crops for
the farmers and general eff
fort upon the part Of bust
ness men, combined with close
economy and hedging all round, oblIga-
tons have been met, speculative inter-
ests wiped out values scaled down I'M
til a firm and secure footing has been
found, so thai, today, very small per
cent of Kansans, either farmers or bust
ness men, can be found who could be
embarrassed or driven to the wall what
ever might happen to tho country at
large in the way of financial panic.
The bottom having been reached it
would be difficult to get lower. There
is absolutely no speculative risks being
carried by Kansas people Business for
three years past has been done on spot
cash. The farmer, as a rule, has not
only cash in his pocket but grain in his
bins, hogs in his pens, cattle in his pas
lures, and if mortgaged at all, his inter-
est paid to date. For two years past the
average Kansas community has really
been on such a footing as to take
advantage of, and profit by the first
wave of renewed prosperity that might
come to the country at large, and, per
force of her experience and of condi-
tons, must retain such ground floor ella
ton until she has won from her own
inherent resources such prosperity. Our
withers have been wrupg however, the
other CALLED jades may now vince, and
from whatever circumstances In short
Kansas has had her leveling process, her |
cyclone, which, in sweeping away specu-
lative superstructures and superficial |
debris has left her foundations clear and |
solid
