Officers Elected, Committees Appoint
ed and Everything Ready
For Flower Day.

Othcers Elected, committees appoint
ed and Everything Ready
For Flower Day.
The San Antonio Cycling club
met last night in their club rooms,
upstairs, at the corner Of Com
MERGE and Yturri streets, appoint
| ed Messrs. w. II. Smith, John Slap
penbeck and Otto Praeger as a
| committee on entertainment and
reception of the visiting wheelmen,
| who are expected to visit the city
on Flower Battle Day.
A letter from Eagle Pass details
that there will be 10 or more wheel
men from that city who intend to
ride their wheels all the way to
San Antonio, if the roads are good.
They will telegraph the boys when
they approach the city and this
committee will ride out to Castro
vile and escort them in.
w. G. Caskey, A. F. Heckle, VIII
Bowman and Fred Barr were elect
ed as new members.
For the flower day parade Climb
lines have been eliminated and all
wheelmen of the city will join in
one body with Grand Marshal
Bell at their head. He will appoint
a number of lieutenants.
Bud Parker, of Waco, writes the
club in regard to making a relay
race from San Antonio to Waco, a
distance by wagon road of about
200 miles and if San Antonio
Wheelmen are willing the stretch
between Austin and San Antonio
will be apportioned to them. The
boys are in for it willingly and
their part of the relay will be un-
der the charge of the captains Of
our two wheel clubs. A year ago
this relay was run to Austin in D
hours and 40 minutes, but the
boys expect, with the lighter
wheesl they now have to lower
the time materially.
Among other business transacted
was the nomination of officers for
the next meeting, which will be in
May.
The Alamo Wheelmen also held
a we'll attended business meeting
last night, in their elegant new

A committee, Messrs. Lawyer,
Heckel and AXtell, was appointed
to wait on visiting wheelmen for
the Flower Day and the Captain
was instructed to take a delegation
out on the road and meet the Eagle
Pass wheelmen.
Chabot, Walters and Pine were
named as a committee to confer
with a like committee of the Cy-
cling club in regard to Offering
prizes for the best decorated wheel
for Flower Day.
Ten new members were admit
ted, as follows: Messrs. Phil Shook,
f. Richardson, Thos. Tengg, S. R.
Scott, w. H. Folsom, H. A. c. Tor
rey, Fred Buford, A. l.. Tucker,

SMOTHERED IN FLOWERS.

Michigan Delegation Fared We'll on En-
tering the House.
The Detroit Tribune of Tuesday contain
ed the following Washington Dispatch
Washington, Special Telegram, Dec. s.
The republican members of the Michigan
congressional delegation had no reason to
complain OF their reception at the capitol
today. Representative Burrows received
almost as much of an ovation upon his en-
trance on the floor of the house as did ex-
Speaker Reed. His desk was mass of
flowers.
Representative Linton, however, carried
off the palm as recipient of floral compli-
ments. A few minutes before the house
was called to order two pages entered bear
ing hugh floral model of ''little red
school house" with belfry surmounted by
an American flag, compliment to Mr.. Lin
ton from his admirers in Washington. The
applause both on the floor of the house and
in the galleries was deafening and was re-
newed as Mr.. Linton, blushng like school
iature school house.
Upon one side of the mass of red, white
and blue immorteles was a card bearing an
inscription from Mr.. Linton's speech of last
June, "The public school, the bulwark of
American freedom"
Below this there was a reference to Mr.
Linton's majority in the Flfty-third congress
and another line calling attention to the fact
that he increased his majority iive-fold in
the last election. The Illusion supposed to
be that Mr.. Linton's bold stand for Ameri-
canism and American schools during the
last year was to be credited with his wonder.
fully increased majority. At the end of the
little building hanging right from the tower
was another card which testified the affec-
ton in which Mr.. Linton was held by the
donors There was nothing TO indicate from
whom the tribute came, but 1t Is understood
that 1t was presented by the citizens OF
Washington, who are in sympathy with the
movement of which Mr.. Linton is the con-
gressional exponent.

Alloys for Aluminium.

Pure aluminium is too pliable for
some of the uses to which it has been
proposed to devote it, but experiments
in alloying it will unquestionably in
crease the serviceability and applica-
tions of that metal in time. Chromium
the addition of which has such a good
effect in hardening steel, has lately
been tried abroad with aluminium.
The result is gratifying, but the diff
culties of effecting the combination
are great. Wolfram, a mineral con-
tanning tungsten, iron and manganese.
has also been alloyed with aluminium,
and the product has lately been placed
on the market in England. This metal
is almost as light as pure aluminium,
but more ductile and harder. 1t can
be worked like mild steel

The richest peasants in Europe are

vegetables for the great cities of north
ern Europe. They supply flowers to
the courts of ST. Petersburg and Berlin.
Their costumes are one of the sacred
traditions of the country and not to be
modified, come what may. The women
wear little caps with stifiy starched
bows of silk, over this a straw hat
which looks as if it were upside down.
Their skirts are short, the aprons full
plated. The bodice is white with a
sort of Zouave jacket of bright colors.
The silver jewelry is the pride of their
lives. The men wear small clothes,
long waistcoats trimmed with silver
buttons, long jacket and a quite ordi-
nary looking cap.

HAVE THE SMALLEST HANDS.
! American Women Take the Lead, Fol-
lowed by Their Sisters of Austria.

American Women Take the Lead, Fol-
lowed by Their Sisters of Austria
The women of North America have
the smallest hands in the world, and
next to them come the Austrian, Span
ish. French and Italian ladies' Those
of the fair Spaniard, according to the
New York Tribune, are often spoiled
by coarse fingers, rounded at the tips.
Russians have long, but beautifully
formed hands. The hands of English
women of rank are aristocraticallY
shaped, but they are long and some
times too dry. The French grande
dame takes the best care of her hands
all the world over. Germans are gen
orally endowed with large and fat
ones with enormous fingers. A typical
beautiful hand is that of Duchesse
de Mouchy (nee Anna Murat); it is
very small, delicately formed, with
taper fingers curved a little at the ex-
tremities, and almond nails. The hand
of Vicomtesse de Galard is exquisite.
1t recalls Canova's statues, of which
the hands are smaller and more aris-
tocratic than those of the famous
Greek models. Two of the Austrian
archduchesses are noted for their
lovely hands, Archduchess Eliza
beth, mother of Queen Christina
of Spain, and Archduchess Maria
Theresa, sister-in-law of Emperor
Francis Joseph. OF fair Frenchwomen
who can boast of charming hand the
duchesses of Ayen and Mouchy are
among the best known; also Princess
de la Tour d'Auvergne and Princess de
Wagram, Duchess de Luynes and
Princess de Polk, Mines. Yturbe and de
Mieri, though Spaniards, have hands
as perfect as their feet, and Duchess
de Morny is another of the peninsular
beauties whose hands are good. A
charming specimen of the Russian
hand is that of Duchess de Sesto-long,
but superbly made, while those of
Duchess de la Rouchefoucauld and of
Lady Randolph Churchill, nee Jerome,
afford illustrations of the lovely little
hand of the North American woman.
Most Parisiennes wear 61S or 634
gloves. These are not the smalles
sizes for a pretty hand, but are those
worn by many of the fairest of the sex,
nevertheless; for tight glove is por-
feet abomination. 1t makes the hand
look larger instead of smaller.

Watery Meadows.

Much of the land classed as
meadow in the Adirondack region
is curious swampy soil, covered with
vegetation that rises so as to hide the
underlying cold, dark water. One may
walk for miles upon such meadow, the
feet sinking into it as into water
soaked sponge, and deer frequently
feed upon the grasses of the meadows
and seemingly enjoy in midsummer
the perpetual cool footbath of their
pasture.
