THE SCHOOL FLOAT.
what Mr.. Keithley Says About His



Motives in the Matter.
A Star reporter called today on Mr..
George Keithley at his place of business on
& street southeast. Mr.. Keithley stated
that he had received letter from Mr.. Nc
Hugh notifying him that the float which
he and Edward Dreschler had prepared for
the Labor day parade could not appear In
the line of march
Mr.. McHugh said that as now he had
learned the true nature of the float, he
would revoke the permission which he had
given for its appearance in the parade. In
discussing the matter. Mr.. Keithley said
that he regretted that Mr.. McHugh or any
ore else had misinterpreted MS motives IN
the matter II was correctly reported yes
terday in The Star" he said, when said
that the float shall represent the public
school system as one of the bulwarks o!
the republic, and also chief principle or
the Knights of Labor. 1t is the only means
of education the workinGman possesses. 1t
will further represent the entire building
trades as we'll as all the branches of mani
ual training embraced in the public
sctcol system, and will demonstrate that
the workingmen uphold the public schools
for the education of the masses.
This said Mr.. Eeithley, is all there Is IN
the entire matter. The people who seem
to connect the float with any desire on my
part to excite sectarian feeling or to ere
ate disturbance, are evidently not ac-
ouainted with me nor the record which L
have as citizen here. The form or the
float represented the old-fashioned School
house, and that it should be connected with
the recent demonstration at Boston or any
partisan influence is certainly not my fault
and was not in my mind when my aSSoci-
ate and myself planned the float"
When asked If he was member Of the
A. p A.. Mr.. Keitbley said that had moth
ing to do with the question. He said that
he might as we'll be asked If he was Ma
son or a member of any other organization.

DOG DAYS.
Superstition COnfuses n Season With
the Animals Condition.

Superstition COnfuses n Season With
the Animals Condition.
From the Milwaukee Journal
The sure way to prevent your dog from
going mad in August Is to kill him in July.
But that remedy is just as good for any
other month, and the record shows that
dogs are just as likely to go mad in one
month as in another anywhere except in
the Imagination. Mad dogs are really rare.
Any poor, worried dog, tired, hungry and
prosecuted is liable to be called mad, and
is at once executed without trial Were
he kept and cared for 1t could be deter
mined whether he was mad or not, and
thus relieve many anxious fears of those
who may have been bitten. But dog days
have nothing to do with dogs further than
to impose muzZles on them at time when
they need their greatest freedom to pre-
serve their health. It Is possible there are
many dogs mad on this account but they
have not written the Journal about it.
Dog days Is an old institution. Hippo
crates, 45o years before Christ, calls it the
hottest and most unhealthful season Of the
year. That stands yet. Dog days begin
when the star Sirius rises and sets with
the sun or near 1t. The accepted time is
Eew from July to August IL. This star
is the brightest in the heavens. and always
has been, 50 far as known, but other stars
have rivaled it for time. Frightening up
ard then declining in luster in a strange
calls it red or orange red, but it is now
bite. 1t is the principal star in the con-
stellation of CAMS Major the great dog.
being located in the tip of the under jaw.
This constellation follows Orion in the
heavens. Another name for Sirius is Ca
nicula, the little dog. Hence its popular
designation.
Now, what in the world all this has to do
With mad dogs Is a question. 1t is obvious
that the dog days are the coolest days in
the year in the southern hemisphere; do
dogs go mad there in the coolest weather
only, and here only in the hottest? 1t is
not so here, and probably is not true there.
But popular superstition has Joined dog
days and mad dogs, and for this there is no
divorce court but a growing intelligence.

A Bicycle Life Buoy.

From the Philadelphia Record.
When a fellow comes to his senses and
finds himself clinging to a life buoy there
Is nothing for him to do but to cling on
and hope somebody will como along in
boat and pick him up. But not so with
the life buoy recently invented by a
Frenchman. This is supplied with a BIZ
cycle-like gearing, into which he may slip
his feet and hands, and if he happens to
be wheelman or an athlete he may go off
on a pleasant cruise by himself This de-
vice consists of an infatable rubber bag,
which acts as a seat and buoy, in which is
o notwithstanding sleeve for shaft, on
whose outer end is a screw, or paddle
wheel, waist and shoulder straps prevent
ing the person using the buoy from being
washed off. The forward end of the bear
ing sleeve is forked, the forks being pfvoted
to an alright casing or buoyant chest,
against the rear side of which the seat
may be folded up. The casing also forms
a partial support, and contains the mechan-
ical propeling devices, having at its under
side bearings for the horizontal propelling
shaft, and on it's front side bearings for
vertical shaft, whose lower end Is a
screw whose operation is adapted to up
hold the buoy in the water. On the casing
is stepped a mast, on which sail may
be set, and downwardly extending frame
supports pedal shaft, by which may be
operated, through q Sprocket chain connec-
ton. a crank shaft having a bevel gear
meshlng with bevel pinion on the verti-
cal shaft, the latter shaft also having a
bfvel pinion meshing with a bevel gear
oh the forward end of the horizontal shaft,
both shafts and their screws or paddles
being thus operated by the pedals and
by hand cranks at each side of the casing
There Is rudder on the forward side
of the casing, and compass is mounted
Just below a lantern supported on a rod
n pedals and
crank handles are arranged to be folded
upon their shafts all parts of the device
being designed to occupy as small space
as possible when not in use.

Sensational Charges Against Crack
Wheelmen.
ACCUSED OF TRYING TO FIX RACES
Cabanne, Titus and Murphy are
Suspended.
PROMPT ACTION TAKEN

ST. LOUIS August 31.-The Republic to-
day makes sensational charges against
Cfas. Murphy. Fred J. Titus and l.. d. Ca
banne. the three crack class riders who
participated in the diamond tournament
given in this city on Saturday last under
the sanction of the League of American
Wheelmen.
There were three class B events on the
program, and according to two of the riders
themselves, IL was fixed that each Of the
three named should win one of the events
Cabanne, the paper says, was to be al
lowed to take the mile open. the most i'm
portant race, as this was his home. Muir
ply however, go Cabanne and Titus assert,
broke faith and carried off two of the
races. while Terrell, California man. hon
estly landed the third, therefore shutting
out the two men named.
Alexander Laing, local amateur. VINO
heard the three class b men DISCUSSING
the races afterward, said tnat MURPHY
gave as an.explanation of his conduct that
lis firm ordered him to ride out the races,
having heard of the agreement.
The matter has been called to the atten-
ton of the local members Of the national
racing board of the league. The men, if
guilty. will be ruled of for life or for
period proportionate with the oTense; me
punishment is left by the racing rules 10
the discretion of the board.
According to the Republic the only feeling
on the part Of Csbanne and Titus seems to
be one of Indignation against Murphy LOT
not carrying out his part of the agreement.
They called him a, Judas. sneak and rene
gade, and said he was a disgrace to his
profession.
THAT Murphy is the most underhanded
racing man on the circuit" said Titus
ave should have known better than 10
have trusted him..
Tie following telegram was sent today to
George d. Gideon, chairman OF the ma
tional racing board, League OF American
Wheelmen, Philadelphia, by the local MEM
bers of the board:
Suspend Cabanne, Titus and Murphy
perding investigation.
Evidence they fixed race here August
o. Papers full of II. Men are in Kansas
City. Answer Immediately, as they leave
for the east tonight.
(Signed DOUGLAS w. ROBERT
The suspension of two more class b
riders has been asked for. The associated
cycling clubs, under whose auspices the
races of last Saturday were given has en-
tered a protest and asked for the suspen-
sion of Bliss of Chicago and Cooper Of De
troit, for not appearing at the diamond
Tournament after promising that they
would ride. The racing rules provide tnat
after a promise has been made by the men
or their employers to appear they are in
duty bound to ride and II they do not they
are liable to suspension.
The following answer in response to the
telegram asking for the suspension of Ca
banne, Titus and Murphy was received:

''To Douglas w. Robert, st. Louis:
Suspend all three and send synopsis OF

Col BRADLEY was introduced by w. P.
ThCrne, chairman of tine local democratic
comrnittee. Yesterday afternoon at joint
debate with Gen. Hardin, but before ne
uttered his opening sentence a crowd OF
drunken men, who had masSed themselves
directly in front of him, began to yell and
ieer so that he could not make himself
heard. Chairman Tnorne stepped to the
front of the platform. and in an appealing
voice said:
sGentIemen, we, the citizens of Henry
county have tried to make the stay of our
distinguished guests, Col. Bradley and
Gen. Hardin, a pleasant one: The honor OF
old Henry county is at stake: Col. Brat
ley has the first speech. and 1 beseech you
as democrats and kentuckianS, to give MIN
a respectful hearing"
The noise continued, ard Bradley with
drew.
Then the democratic disturbers began
calling for Hardin, and when he came for
ward re was glowing with rage. He mo-
toned his hands for quiet, and when there
was lull he said, in a voice filled with
passion: -,-
81 cannot under any circumstances adj
dress this audience after the insults you
have put upon my distinguished opponent.
1t .is a matter of profound regret to me
that Kentucky democrats have disgraced
themselves as we just witnessed. l posi-
lively decline to speak"
Gen. Hardin was roundly cheered for this.

1t is the practice of The Star to

The average circulation exhibited
