WORLDS RECORD
Beaten by Otto ZeigIer at
Sacramento.
BY The Associatd Press.

~N~~~~ANs~e h'''e
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 17.-On the 2Sth
OF September, John S. johnson caused q
sensation in bicycle circles the world over
by riding a mile at Wsltham in the phe-
nomenal time of :50A.
This wonderful feat was eel ipsed in this
city yesterday when Otto Zeigler Of San
Jose, covered the mile in 1 80 As matter
Of fact, he did ride the mile in fraction
over :49, but as one of the watches made
1:5o fiat,th judges placed the official time
at that figure.
This mile was made from a flying start,
paced by tandem teams. The riding was
done under the supervision of Sacramento
Athletic Club aud under the rules of the
l.. A. W., which makes it official. The
start was q fine one and the quar-
ter was passed in 26 3-5. The
half in :53 3-5, leaving Zeigler full min
ute to make the last half In order to break
the record. Near the three-quarter pole
Delmar and Hamilton, the relief PAGERS,
made perfect pickup aud the wheel
men were fairly trembling with excite
ment and enthusiasm as the watches
licked off l.. Zeigler still had twenty
seven and three -fifths seconds to equai
Johnson's record. Within about 90
yards of the wire Zeigier, who had been
riding almost on the heels of the PAGERS,
shot ahead Of them and beat them under
the wire. He could have lowered the re-
cord by fully two seconds had the pace
makers been able to lead him.

suppression will not rise above it, nor

SOME THINGS HARD TO BE UNDER
STOOD.
NUMBER 1.
By j. d. SMITH, NJ. ID.

Written for The Tennessee Methodist.
Some of the strangest things and
seemingly most glaring ineonsisten-
fies in tile worlds history arc happen
ing in the closing decade of the nine
tenth century.
For instance, in the New Orleans
christian Advocate of recent date,
Rev. w. G. Black, D. d., of Jackson,
Miss, referring to the late liquor traf-
nc bill passed by the Legislature OF
That State, says: "WithOut claiming
the gift of prophecy, | hazard the pre-
diction that this legislation is the be-
ginning of the end of the liquor traf-
nc in Mississippi" Now, the ''hard
tnlng to be understood" in Brother
Blacks 'hazard' is how an end to the
ii4uor traffic is to be reached by Ii
eeasing saloons, in any place, under
any circumstances, or with any sort OF
restrictions. Without such license
The restrictions would be unnecessary,
because our United States Supreme
Court says; "NO man has any inner
emit right to sell liquor by the retail;
!. Is not a privilege of a citizen of q
State or of a citizen of the United
States" and hence sit is matter OF
legislative will only"-just such leg
isiative will as that Mississippi Legis-
lature exercised, when, under the
pressure of high clerical influence, il
legaiized the saloon in the State, and
gave It an existence it could not have
mad without such legislation. Further
more, the Methodist Church, North,
says that that legislation of which
