Hill Wylie, tho oS.Dead-HrOke bicycle
Tourist, Here To-day.
Harry Hillard Wylie, the bicycle
tourist, who is riding against time from
New York to Chicago, is expected to ar
rive in Wheeling at noon to-day. Yes
terday he had what was probable tho
hardest days ride OF his entire journey,
from Cumberland to Uniontown, across
the AlleEhanies, a distance OF sixty
three miles, II he got into Uniontown
on time last evening he intended riding
to-day to Fairview, Ohio, n~inety-six
miles. which would bring him to Wheel
inr for dinner. Some OF the local
wheelmen will ascertain when he will
BIO sure to get here, and ride out proha'
bly, us far as Triadelphia TO receive him.
His arrival in Wheeling will mark the
end OF the hardest part Of his long jour
ney, To the west he will ride over the
national pike, than which there is no
bettOr road in America,
One OF Wylie's ideas in making the
trip is to demonstrate that the National
pike route is the most desirable for
wheel tourists riding from the east to
the Worlds Fair, Of whom there are
great numbers; some are taking the
route through northern New York and
Ohio, notably Tom Roe, who is riding
across the continent. Wylie claims the
lower route is better in IN all around

cess attained. Shortly after l o'clock
all the members turned out in car
riapes, each wearing the club outing cap
and badge, and gave a short parade.
The turnout attracted much attention,
In a number OF the vehicles the boys
bore proudly aloft several fine owls, the
emblem OF tho club, Colombo" the
big feathered pet, was in the first car
riago, The boys claim no returned
from his wanderings especially to at
tend the outing. He attracted the most
attention. The club was headed by tho
fuli Opera House band attired in their
new uniforms, tho new drum major be-
inc tout OF sight" Several Of tho
members received bouquets from
friends, some being OF flowers and others
OF fruits and vegetables. AT twenty
minutes Of three the club and guests
started for the park in u special. No
stops we're made, and the run was made
in sixteen minutes.
Not the slightest detail arranged for
the entertainment OF tho guests was
omitted, the members vieing with each
other to add to the pleasure OF those
present, and not the slightest incident
occurred to mart.
The hours were a~greeobly passed I'M
til midnight in dancing and various so.
cial diversions. A concert was also
given by the band stationed OH top OF
the mound.
About nine o'clock some fn0 fire
works were set oil, followed by the
usual grand walk around. Last nigat's
rain was not sufficient to dampen the
ardor OF the assemblage, AT midnight
all returned to town, glad to have been
there.

procured to make a line ON each side of
Market street from Tenth to Sixteenth

was recalled when the people hardly
allowed enough room for the paralers,
and il was decided necessary to have
the wire lines, Messrs. Tracy, Of the
Western Union, and Wolf, OF the tele.
phone company, had said they would
furnish the wire free OF charge. Six
teen men will be employed to hold up
the wires at street corners to allow
teams to pass when desired, The COM

1t was decided toinvite the city coun-
Gil and other municipal officers and the
county commissioners to participate in

Sioux City Tribune, 16: b. Fl. Sullivan
of Huron, S. D., was in the city yester-
day on his way to the worlds fair. The
South Dakota politicians are, Mr.. Sulli-
van says, awaiting the settlement Of the
prohibition question in Iowa with a
great deal of interest,". as they think that
the decision reached in this state will
have considerable weight with the people
of South Dakota when electing the mem.
bers of the legislature next fall. RE.
submission was only defeated by a very
small majority last winter" he added
and since then the sentiment in its favor
has Ger steadily growing. 1t was by
far the most important issue then. A.
our next legislative session the sen
atorial fight will throw it into the back
ground. or course it will come up for
consideration, however, and the present
indication seems to indicate that it will

ton that the incumbent when once con-
frmed cannot be removed without the
consent of the senate.
Mr.. Preston is a native of Tennessee
and about SO years Of age. He has been
connected with the treasury department
since 1866, when he was appointed a
clerk in the fret auditors division. He
was transferred to the mint bureau
when it "a organized in 1878, along
with the late director, MI. Leech. and
several other clerks whose knowledge of
mint affairs made them especially valu-
able to that branch of the service.
he has held the position of examiner
for many years and outranked Mr..
Leech in the bureau when that gentle
man was selected for director by Presi-
dent Harrison. AT that time Mr.. Pres
toms claims to promotion were vigor-
ously urged, but without success. He
retained his position as examiner, how
ever, and was second in command dur
ing Mr.. Leech's term, assuming that
gentleman's duties whenever his alb
sence rendered a substitute necessary
and succeeding him as acting director
upon his resignation to accept a position
with a New York bank.
The director of the mint has general
supervision of all minis and assay offices,
and all purchases of silver are made by
him. Mr.. Preston refused to purchase
bullion at a higher price than that pre-
vailing in London on the day of sale and
found it necessary to reduce the time for
delivery of the metal purchased from 10
days to five. His action evoked a storm
Of criticism from the friends of the white
metal and a counter current of approval
from those who favored the repeal of the
| Sherman law.
