THE ATHLETIC SIDE OF WO-
MANS BICYCLING.

In the first place, it ought to be law
for every woman that she should never
ride bicycle after distinct feeling of
WEAKNESS comes over her. For those who
are beginning, especially, and in a measure
for all women, there is danger of riding
out certain distance, and only turning
towards home when this feeling of weari.
ness comes on. In such cases the strain on
the nervous system all the way home is
very great, and by the time the end of the
journey is reached-for it has become a
journey by this time-the rider il exhaus-
ted to such an extent that severe head.
ache or some more serious indisposition is
the result. There is no other reason for
this than the fact that she did not prescribe
for herself certain distance before starting
out, which was not to be exceeded under
any circumstances. No ordinary woman
who rides for pleasure once or twice week
should do over about ten miles at a time
This is perhaps an hours ride, that may
be easily extended to an hour and a
quarter before that distance is covered: and
if she does not feel fresh and in glow
when she stops, she may be certain that
she has ridden too long. Naturally there
is that healthy tired feeling which any one
recognizes after athletic exercise, but is
quite different from and never should be
mistaken for the WEAKNESS which comes
from too much exertion and straining of
the nerves and muscles. Very few women
have ever been injured on a bicycle who
kept to this rule and limited theil riding
to normal distances.
The limit of distance which is desig-
mated by the first feeling of WEAKNESS, is
only little more important than the
limit of speed which the female frame is
capable of undergoing under healthy exer-
cising rules Whether a man can ride at
full speed for long distance and still
retain his good health is a doubtful ques-
ton, but it does not particularly concern
us in the present discussion. 1t is quite
certain, however, that no woman can keep
up high rate of speed for even a generous
portion Of mile and not create the begin

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many per.
sons with severe attack of catalrh, which
in some respects resembles the former.
These individuals suffer severely with pain
about the forehead, eyes and ears, with
soreness in throat and stoppage of the
nasal passages, and, in fact, are incapaci-
tated for work of any kind for days at a
time. These are catarrhal ,suiierers. Ely s
Cream Balm has been used with the best
results in such cases. The remedy will
give instant relief.

MRS. MERROW'S STATEMENT.
She Declares That She Left Her Husband
Because of Drunkenness and Abusive
Treatmet and for No Other Reason
Correction of a Possible Misunderstand-
ing.

Mrs. Merr ow, wife of George B. Mer-
row, who has brought suit for $780, 900
against Leonard G. Young and Miss Dora
Noses because of alleged alienation of
his wife's affections, that as far as she
could SEQ it was scheme to extort
money from Mr.. Young. She had
worked in Mr.. Young's establishment
several years previous to her marriage
and had met him after her marriage as
any OF his other employees might have
CHANGED to meet him. A few weeks after
her marriage, which was three years ago.
her.vhusband came home in an3intoxicated
condition, and as time went on this be-
came more frequent. His treatment be-
came extremely abusive, until she could
bear it no longer. Her relatives advised
her to leave him more than a year
before she did, telling her they did not
consider it safe for her to live with him.
Mrs. Morrow desires to say nothing
further in regard to the case
In the statement of this case in yester-
days PRESS, it was mentioned that Mr..
Anthoine, counsel for Mr.. Young had
said that he considered it case of black
mail, pure and simple. This should not,
of course. be misunderstood, as criticism
of, or in any way reficting upon the
counsel for the plaintiff in the case.

New England Fair,

A meeting of the committee of the City
Government on New England Fair met
last evening in the aldermen's room, City
building. There were present Aldermen
Dam, Thompson Peters and Little
Councilmen Anderson, Doherty, Haskell,
Nickerson and Kent Alderman Thomp-
son was elected chairman and Mr.. Kent
secretary.
Upon the start it was seen that it
would be advisable to have conference
with the officers of the New England
society before proceeding further, and it
was voted that the secretary notify the
New England officers that the committee
request conference with them at as early
a date as possible.
The meeting then adjourned. There
seemed to be an opinion among those
present at the meeting that the city
would probably have, to make some
arrangements for a proper reception to
the great United States fleet, which will
be assembled in our harbor the anne
week that the fair will be held.

TRIALS OF A BIBLE AGENT.
A Curiously Hostile r ecaptIon Met With
in Franklin County.

One of the agents of the American
BLDG society recently related to report
er Tor the PRESS the following extraor-
dlnary incident of his trip through
Franklin county from which he had just
returned. There is small farming
community up there among the hills,
somewhat remote from the regular routes
OF travel, and which is known in the
vicinity as the "Back Kingdom. !"
The Bible agentssvisited this neighbor-
hood and walked up intogthe dooryard OF
the first house. There seemed to be no
one at home, but before he had time to
knock at the door, he was surprised and
started by most ferocious and unexpect-
ed attack
A big Plymouth rock rooster came at
him like battering ram, with lowered
bill and Tapping wings
The Bible agent recovered himself and
kicked out frantically at the enemy.
Luckily his foot struck it insthe breast
and over went the rooster. But the
fierce, old clatterer was up and at him
again like flash.
This time we'll directed kick sent the
bird rolling over and over. But it gath
cred itself togetherafor another rush, and
the Bible agent seized hoe that was
leaning against the house and raised 1t
on high.
This somewhat daunted the rooster. 1t
stopped short, raised itself on its toes,
gave utterance to three defiant crows and
then retreated in good order with state
ly tread.
The Bible agent found that there was
nobody in the house. AS he continued
on his way, he soon met some men in
the Ihay field He shouted out, Look
here, if you don't look out for that
rooster of yours, he'll kill somebody or
get killed himsellf. -
At this time the men almost rolled on
the ground with laugher One of them
came up and explained that the boys
had so plagued the fierce old rooster that
he had become as ugly and aggressive
as any savage watch dog.

THE DUST RISES.
Race for surveyorship Begins to Get Hot
and Dark Horse Looms Up.

This oil eamy, summer weather has al
most driven all thoughts of politics from
the minds of men. Yet there are few
shrewd men, survivors of the Democratic
party, who still keep an eye on the Port
land surveyorship in spite of the warm
weather. General Mark F. Wentworth S
time will expire some time in December; !;
so it is about time for the candidates to
be sanding the track. There are a host OF
them, as is well known. The Hon.
Charles f. johnson of Waterville, the
Hon. Charles Mccarthy of Portland, the
Col John G. Cobb of Portland, and
Charles S. Deake, Esq, of Portland,
have been so long in the field that their
candidates. are known of all men.
Recently dark horse has loomed up.
Since Brother behring's memorable squirt
on the last quarter of the Collectorship
race, dark horses have produced feelings
of uneasiness in this neighborhood. The
present instance can be no exception.
The dark horse, in this case, is Mr.. w.
FL. Anderson, who is said to have entered
the contest vigorously and with strong
backing. His friends say that he will
stand good chance on is record, because
he was born a Democrat and has re-
manned such steadily, although he has
never been in factional fights. His father
was the old Democratic governor, Hugh
]. Anderson. Mr.. W. Fl. Anderson was
paymaster in the navy during the war
and for several years after. Later he was
treasurer of the Portland and Ogdens-
burg. He is now manager of the New
York Life for Maine.
