FOUR MEMBERS OF TIE RACING BOARD.
main in class A as strict amateurs rather
than lose such valuable support, unless they
can make advantageous terms with some
manufacturer who wishes to have his wheels
exploited. If these wheelmen became class
A riders, both classes would prove failures,
for the strictly amateur class would be as
full of concealed professionalism as ever,
and there would be no one riding in class b
that could draw a cOrpOraEs guard at Il
meet. If, on the other hand, a strictly pro
fessional class We're made and governed by
the l.. A. W., every prominent bicyclist
!, would probably join it, and tbs would
leave class A as pure as it is intended to be.
The crack riders of today will not become
semprofessionals unless there is rs much
in it for them as there is at present in be-
ing what is called an amateur. John $.
johnson is one of the fastest amateur skat-
ers in the world, but if he joins class b and
becomes II miprofessionalh he will probably
be barred from amateur skating cont rS & by
the National Skating association. IiImmrr-
man is a good standing broad jumper, but
if he becomes Il scmiprOfessional the y. a.
U. will bar him from competition at the
national and other general athletic cham
piOnshipS. Other Wheclmen who shine in
different branches of athletics would be uf-
fcctcd i'll the same manner If they @le
made out and out professionals under the
l.. y. W. rules, however, and are allowed
to compete for cash or merchandise, there
will be enough in it for them to lose their
amateur status and the support of the ath-
letc clubs. The bicycle trade think,
would prefer giving cash, for if Il dealer of
fers Il bicycle Il prize the amateur who
wins it often sells it below the list price to
| one of the dealers own customers and i'll
| that manner Injuries the dealers trade.
There is room in this country for profess
sional racing properly conducted, and mas
! much as we are sure to have such racing 1t
, seems to me the l.. n. w. may as well
; control it as any other organization.
Pure amateur bicycling under the present
rules of the l.. A w. is impossible, and al
though the racing board is composed of
conscientious, honest and painStaking men,
who constantly do the best they can, its eff
forts to sweep back the wave of profession
alism are no more successful than those of
King Canute when he commanded the ocean
to retire Like the old Danish monarch,
too the members of the racing board know
they cannot perform the impossible and are
simply doing what they consider the next
best thing by proposing the division of
, wheelmen into classes y and b. Many
well known riders believe, however, that
, the entire difficulty would be settled sue
cessfully and satisfactorily if the L. y. w.
would make their proposed class b an out
and out professional class and put all the
'simon pure amateurs in class a.

How to Make an Old Batbtub New

When the zinc or tin lining grows
shabby, give it a coat of white paint.
After this has dried apply several thick
nesses of white enamel, waiting for each
application to dry before adding the
next. In this way a thick enamel coat
ing is laid upon the metal, giving it the
appearance, when completed, of porce-
lain. The enameled lined tub is not
only very much daintier in appearance,
but can be kept in order more easily
than zinc or tin, damp cloth wiped
across the surface being all that is need
ed to retain the purity of coloring.

DIR MUM of this city spoke against
compulsory vaccination, before an audi
ence of 800, in New Britain the other
night. He said the virus used in innocu-
lAtion is poison, and causes erysipelas,
gangrene and other similar diseases, aud
told of a Waterbury young lady whom he
| vaccinated some years ago and who has
| since been afflicted with blood poisoning.
He also made the statement that the sou
| Of New Britain physician had contracted
| leprosy and finally became insane as the
| result of vaccination. DR. Mum makes a
| terrifying argument and yet comparatively
few physicians refuse to accept the theory
| claimed for vaccination. And as for our
| laws being severe They are not a circum-
stance to what they are resorting TO out
| west. The Illinois board of health has
teachers in the public schools to be vacci-
mated, aud denying school privileges to
those who fail to comply. The board of
health of Wisconsin has followed suit, and
extended the order to scholars in private
schools also, and the Iowa board of health
has gone still further and ordered that
| every person in the state shall be vRcci-
mated. The Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany has likewise taken steps to protect its
employees west of Pittsburg by sending out
from Chicago Il vaccination train, leaving il
optional, however, with the men on
| trains, at stations and ia shops as to
whether they will subrait to the operation.
How Pure Rope Linen Can BE Tested.
In selecting rope linen for embroid-
| cry take bit of the thread between the
| thumb and fingers of both hands and
lub i gently; then draw the fingers over
it lengthwise. If it splits or breaks o4
trays with any degree of roughuess, dis
card it as entirely worthless. Most Of
the cheap threads are nothing more or
less than jute and are designed only to
sell. More than one person has tried
| to work linen and found it so lumpy
and rough and disayreeable looking that
it was given up in despair, sometimes
without finishing the piece. First class
| linen may be tested in the way describ-
! ed and will remain almost entirely
smooth. The finer grades may be scrap
ed repeatedly with the tLumhnail with
mt producing any roughness.

Idaho, Is discussed ss follows: "Tbe
Indian appropriation act for the cur
rent year contains a clause directing
the secretary of the interior TO contract
with responsible parties for the con-
struction of irrigating canals and the
purchase or securing OF water supply
on this reservation, the expense of CON
s'ructing said canals and of securing
the water supply ID be paid out of

TO the disposal of the secretary of the
interior for the benefit of said Indians.
THE problem of securing q water
supply for the Fort Hail Indians has
been under consideration by this office
for some years, Int the INSULT cheney of
water on the reservation, and the great
Cost OF bringing it from outside the
reservation, has rendered il impossible
to adopt any plan the cost of which
would be within the limits of the funds
available from the general appropria-
tioi. for irrigation on Indian reserva-
tons. AS the Indians will have a
surplus of irrigable lands after a COM
plete system of irrigation shall have
been constructed, the expenditure OF
their present tribal funds for that pur-
pose will ultimately result in placing
q much larger amount to their credit.

WALLACE, Idaho. Oct. 27.-The last

constantly coming in.
