a little bitters or a dash OF Jamaica

DENVER, Aug. 1.-THE citizens are
beginning to realize that the L. A. w.
meets here this week. For the past six
weeks crack riders from all over the
country have been on the ground accus-
toming themselves TO the high altitude
before the dates fixed for the contest.
Yesterday some of the stores began to
fly banners and bunting on the breeze,
and today delegates hays arrived in
numbers to indicate q large attendance
and most successful meet. The hotel
corridors are full Of young. enthusiastic
strangers, all wearing badges, and bicy-
Giles are about the only vehicles to be
seen anywhere. The track is in excel
lent condition. being as hard and level
"a asphalt pavement. That it is
very fast is indicated BY the rec
ords that have been broken during the
past week by visiting and local riders,
and no doubt exists that new recorde
will be made. The races will come of
Thursday. Friday and Saturday, and
until then the visitors will be literally
dined, wined and smoked, and taken by
various routes over the many fine cycling
roads and through magnificent noun
tain scsnery. All day long the qnarters
Of the Denver Wheel club have been
thronged by visitors, and the local
wheelmen have started in royalty on
their entertainment programme. One
OF the most enthusiastic, enjoyable and
record-breaking meets in the history OF
the L. A. w. is expected.

BOY RULERS.
Tho Present Seems TO Re an A &c of Youth
With European Royalty.

Tho Present Seems TO Bo an A &c of You'll,
With European Royalty.
This may indeed be called the age of
youth with an 6-year-old monarch on
the throne Of Spain, a 13-year- old queen
OF Holland, 19-year-old khedive in
Egypt and an 18-year-old king at Bel
grade. With regard to the latter l learn
from friend who has recently been in
Servia tho following account of how
King "Sacha" spends his day. Although
rarely in bed before midnight he is up
early in the morning, and, arrayed in
the undress uniform Of a general, re-
ceives his court marshal, his aid-de-
camp in waiting and his secretaries,
who present to him their daily reports
and take his instructions.
After glancing over the newspapers
he receives his ministers at 10 O'Clock
and then doffs his uniform and dons
mutt for luncheon, which is served il
the small dining room of the palace,
and tho young king usually sits opposite
his father, who does all the talking.
Then conversation is generally prolonged
in tho smoking room after luncheon,
until 3 or 8 O'Clock, Milan smoking in
Vulnerable cigarettes, habit in which
no is initiated by his promising son, a
drive to his suburban palace of Topchida
following. II was here that his grand
father, King Milosch. was SO cowardly
poniarded by Karageorgevicz
At 6 O'Clock the daily council of min
listers takes place, at which tho king
presides, and at s o'clock dinner is
served, after which the king generally
accompanies his father to the theater or
to some great official ball. From this it
will be gathered that he has little op-
portunity for reading, exercise or in
struction of any kind, and the existence
that he loads can only DO described as
the reverse of wholesome for so young
man.
Perhaps the most unwholesome feature
of 1t all is his association with his fa-
Their, who, when his son visited him at
Paris a year ago, disguised even the
most cynical and hardest of the French
boulevardiers by making the lad ac-
quainted with the principal members of
tho demimonde. New York Recorder.

BELLAIRE, Nd. Aug. 1.-THE tariff
reform meeting of Hartford county
Democrats adopted the following resol u
tions
Resolved, First-That we cordially
ysiterate our endorsement of the Demo-
cratic national platform Of 1892, and the
efforts of our incorruptible president
and the national house of representa-
tives to formulate into legal enactment
by the Wilson bill its promises and pro-
visions.
Second-That in the name Of the
Democrats Of the country we repudiate
and condemn the obstructive and trait.
orous action of our senators from Mary
land who grossly misrepresent their
constituency 1t the behsst of the sugar
trust and. other combines.
ThiYd-That Senator Germans asper-
persions of President Cleveland and his
patriotic course merit and receive un-
qualified condemnation.
Fonrth-That 10 is only consistent
with the action OF q senator who has
published to the world his presentations
through the filth and mire OF politics
that he should no longer consent to oc.
cupy the position he has eought to pros
titute by his renegade action. conscious
as he may be that he has betrayed the
party which elevated him to it.

Vigllant and Britannia VIII Compel
for 1t Wednesday.

vigilant and Britannia VIII Compete
for 1t Wednesday.
LONDON, Aug. 12.-It has been def.
nitely arranged that the match between
the Vigilsnt and the Britannia fer the
e150 cup offered by Lord Wolverton
shall be sailed on Wednesday. The
race will be 10 miles to windward and
return as proposed. Mr.. Gould at first
held out for race leeward and beat
home. but he has changed his mind and
the agreement has been signed. Much
interest is manifested in the race, for if
the wind Wednesday holds through. the
Vigilant will show what che can do in
the open sea in all points of sailing.
Notwithstanding the feeling enter.
tanned by many Americana here that the
British yachting public have not treat
ed the Vigilant in an exactly sportsman
like manner, there is no difference Of
opinion ia to the attitude Of the prince
of Wales toward the Yankee eioop's
owner. During the course of converse.
ton between the prince and the officers
of the cruiser Chicago on the occasion of
the princes visit, his royal highpses re-
ferred to theiplucky and spcrtemanlike
qualities displayed by MIR. Gould
throughout the racing between the
Britannia and the Vigilant. The prince
eaid he was particularly anxious that
the Britannia should meet the Vigilant
ON the open sea in order that the merits
Of the two boats might be clearly
judged.
The prince had eeen the boats crew
from the Chicago win the race from the
crews OF the warships. and he eompli-
mented them upon their skillful vic
tory.

That is what Eugene F. File says hi!
wife has been to him since his marriage
and that alone. File is leather flnishe,
and foreman in the shops of McDermot,
g. Howard in the eastern district Of
Brooklyn. For tho reason given he has
begun suit for tho annulment Of his
marriage, which was celebrated eight
years ago.
Mrs. Moore keeps boarding house at
225 Eavemeyer street. Her daughter
Annie, known in the neighborhood as
Miss Moore, is slender. Among the
boarders is Mr.. File, who now claims
that he is known among Annies friends
as Mr.. Moore, her brother In short, al
though the marriage ceremony was per-
formed between them Dec. /, 1886, he
declares under oath that the ceremony
ended at the church door, and that since
then Annie has refused to play the part
of wife to him.
File says that out Of salary Of SIS
week he has paid his mother-in- law
S13 part Of the time and $40 the other
part for the board Of himself and isis
ter Annie"
A year or two ago, maddened by the
circumstances by which he was sur
rounded, he lett town. His wife per-
suaded him to return, but it was not to
marital happiness, for his wife contin-
ued to be sister to him, as before
At last the husband brother got one
of the visiting cards of 'Miss Annie
Moore, 925 Havemeyer street" and paid
visit to Mr.. Westlotorn and asked him
for advice. Papers were prepared and
served upon the daughter.
The answering affidavit was to the
effect thatAnnie had been his wife and
lived with him as such until no left her
and began proceedings She asked the
court that he be forced to pay her $40 q
week and $500 counsel fees in order that
she might defend the action. Justice

the plaintiff to show cause why he
should not put up the cash. New York
