BICYCLE RIDERS SLANG.

Like the HOrsemen a nd Baseball Play.
ers, They Have Their Own.
Like all forms of sport, bicycling has de-
yeloped a new set of experiences, says an
exchange. In baseball, for instance, it is
said of butter fingered" players that they
.couldn't catch cold or couldn't hit o
balloon Every form of sport must have
its own kind of slang, and that of the cyclist
is fairly good In discussing the relative
merits of two racers on the track, for in
stance, it is usually said of one that he ''can
ride rings around the other" which means,
of course, that he can stop on the track and
describe circles ard still win the race.
That expression has taken the place OF
ride him to a standHtlil, Whicn is not es
sentially bicycle talk.
Pulling his leg" has bicycle applica-
ton. and is used when one rider goes out"
ahead of another and coaxes all the speed
ont of him. Cant ride fast enough to keep
warm" applies to lots OF wheelmen ana
needs no explanation. "Scorchers," OF
course, are essentially bicyclists, and the
word came into general use with the appear
ance of the idiots, who 'scorch" through
the streets and parks, to the great danger
of the lives of other people winning
hands down is winning so easily as not
to have hold the handle bars. Riding
around the clock" is riding for twenty four
hours, which lots of the bicyclers are be-
ginning TO do.
20, you've got tack in your tire and
Say, mister, your wheels don't track"
mean that the person addressed is '.off his
base" or doesn't know what he is talking
about. There are many other expressions
in the bicycle vernacular, and additions are
being made every day.

HAD NO BIBLE.
Bartender's Copy the Only One in the
Clubhouse.


Clubhouse.
AT a recent meeting of the Harlem Re
publican Club ex-CongIcssman Harvey c.
Calkin introduced a resolution to have re
freshments" served in the club on Sundays.
The resolution was laid on the table.
When the library committee was called
on to make It's report, Mr. Calkn, who is
a member of the Mount Morris Baptist
Church, said:
II came 10 this clubhouse n Sunday or
two ago with some friends. We wished
TO consult Bible, but could not find any.
We searched everywhere without success.
finally secured one from the barkeeper.
That was the only one in the house"
Mr.. Calkin also proposed later on that
his resolution permitting the sale OF re-
freshments on Sundays be taken from the
table and referred to the house committee.
Mr.. Calkin said that in offering this reso-
luton he had only the interests of the
club at heart; he was instigated by no per-
sonal feeling, and that there was not a.
better Republican in Harlem than he.
Vice President Lincoln A. Stuart, who
presided. said the club must vote first to
take the motion from the table. This was
done, and, before Mr.. Calkin could offer
" fcitE IL " tue IOust GOtliIutttc,
Washington Winsor made a motion to
table the resolution again, and it was
promptly seconded by Mr. Thompson. The
motion was carried.
Mr.. Robinson said he was glad Mr.. Calkin
had searched for the Bible and found it,
and hoped he had discovered some valuable
truths in it.
LET us buy Bible,' some one said.
1--WE have one," another replied
NO" interposed Chairman Stuart;
''our Bible was loaned, and we never saw it
again"
II move We buy Bible for the library
eX-Assistant United States District Attor-
ney Baker said.

man Stuart said. ANY Bible society will
gladly send US oue.''
Mr.. Bakers motion was seconded and car
ried unanimously. The meeting then ad-

THEY SHALL NOT FIGHT,
Say Gov. Culberson and Sheriff CabeI,
of Dallas.

Say Gov. CulbersOn and Sheriff Ca bel,
of Dallas.
New York, Aug. PA special from
Austin, Tex, says: Gov. Cul6erson yester
day made public some correspondence be-
tween himself and Sheriff Cabel, OF Dallas
County, in regard to the Corbett- t-Fitzsim
mons fight
The Governor, in his letter, asks Cabel
If he intended accepting the attorney gen.
erals opinion, holding that the prize fight
ing law is valid Cabei replied that if any
writ was placed in his hands by the county
attorney, he would certainly serve it, and
he adds that in case no writ lie issued, and
the responsibility is thrown entirely on
him, he Will unhesitatingly discharge his
duty.
The sheriff in turn asked the Governor IL
under the law, he would be justified in
using force, even in shooting down citizens,
or If such a course would be advised by
him.
In reply TO this, the Governor Gays that
at the proper time, what force may be
necessary TO successfully Cuell the fight
will be easily secured. He further advises
the sheriff To notify the fighting manage
ment at once that they intend to suppress
the fight at all hazards, go that the MAD.
agement can cease operations on the ring
and building at Dallas.

Senator ouay's Carrier Pigeon.

When Senator Quay started for his home
in Beaver last Sunday evening part of his
luggage consisted of a neat box, in which
was q trained carrier pigeon. The bird
was the property of Alan G. Frazier, a
bright lad, whose home is at 1912 Spruce
street, and he had intrusted the flyer to
Senator Quay with the words: Release
her at Beaver, and If she returns to Phila-
delphia il will mean that you are to win
the State chairmanship fight" Sergeant
alarms Harrah, who accompanied the
Senator, promised to take charge of the
pigeon and start it on the homeward jour
ney. Young Frazier lofts his bird over the
stable belonging to Mr. Egan at Thirty
eighth street and Woodland avenue, and 1t
was here that he kept constant watch for
the bird, on whose leg band is the letter
"F" and the number 1891" Yester-
day the pigeon flew into a window Of the
city hall at the bureau of surveys. Real
Estate Assessor Flood was sitting at the
table on which the bird alighted. 1t was
almost exhausted, but young Frazier was
notified. and last night he was the happiest
boy in West Observation-Disclosures

Cnshing a Check, Marseilles.

We had to make our way through a crowd
occupying a iagre room or small hall in
which business was conducted This hail
was filled with people, some of whom were
there to look after their own or other peo-
pies affairs, and others of whom had obvi-
ously dropped in for a casual chat. Almost
all were smoking cigarettes, an amusement
which they shared with a good many of the
bank clerks. When We had got through
this crowd my friend aud host presented
his check at guichet. The man behind
the guichet gave him metal disk, stamped
with a number. Armed with this, my
friend made bis way to another guichet,
behind which stood, not clerk, but an Or
dinary porter, wearing the livery OF the
bank This porter had his hands full of
similar metal disks. After a weary wait
ing he called out the number-say 3O2-on
my friends disk.
Then my friend advanced, identifying his
check by another number, obtained at the
first guichet, and then received his money,
not in the currency or form which he wished
for, but in such shape as the porter had at
hand to dispense from the authorities above
him. Then some of the notes, being only
locally negotiable, my friend had to go to q
third gulchet, to see If they could be
changed into negotiable notes. On occa-
sions this is impossible, and the unfortu-
nate holder of the check has either to leave
part of the money he has come for until
a favorable opportunity, or accept what
he can get on the chance of paying it away
or getting it changed or both, with some 81
his tradespeople. Beyond this, there is
no clearing house system; each bank makes
q charge for cashing a check on another
bank, and these charges practically swal-
low up the tiny. amount of interest nomi
nally allowed on a constant balance. Aud
this is how the daily routine Of banking is
conducted in the First Bank of Marseilles.-

The League games scheduled for to-day
are as follows:
Chicago at Washington.
Pittsburg at Boston.
St. Louis at Brooklyn.
Louisville at New York.
Cleveland at Philadelphia.
Cincinnati at Baltimore.
Philadelphia went into fourth place yes
terday by beating Louisville twice, and
the fact that Boston did not play. The
Quakers are about 10 points behind Ralti-
more and Cleveland, and, it seems, can
hardly be in it for the penant. Yet there
are those who are predicting that before
the race is over they will be found close TO
the heels of the leaders.
Cleveland and Baltimore will both doubt
less make a mighty effort to win to-day.
The clubs are tied for first place. The
Clevelapds seem to have the harder task be-
fore them. They have to go against the
Quakers, while Baltimore meets CiDcin-
natl on her own stamping ground.
The Senators started off well in their
first game at Baltimore yesterday, and
the fifth inning that they were going to
stop the Orioles in their long winning
streak, but when the Baltimoreans piled
up three in the fifth and two in the sixth
everybody gave up and left the bulletins
disheartened.
Bill Hassamer finishes with the SensS
tors to-day. He will no doubt be heartily
1t is understood that Bill has promised
those who came out to-day sample of
the kind of ball he is going to put up when
he becomes a Colonel.
Baltimore baseball critics think Mana
ger SChmelz has made another good bar
gain in getting Joe Corbett Speaking OF
this young mans work in the second game
in that city yesterday, the Sun says: He
was presented to do battle with Mcmahon
and, considering that 1t was his first ap-
pearance in the League, the boy did very
well. The home clubs hard hitters, in
fact, could do little with him, and had he
been supported at all decently, he might
have made things very interesting. He
has plenty of speed, good control and q
quick curve, that is very deceptive.
The Young Tribulas have reorganized for
the sason, aud would like to meet clu bs of
their age, thirteen. Challenges can be ad-
dressed to John Daily, No. 80 K street
northeast.
The Boston team is after Catcher Bergen,
of the Kansas City team. They do not ex,
pect to have much use for him this year,
but want him on hand for next seasons
work.
McGraw, who got kink in his back in
the first game at Baltimore yesterday and
had to retire, has Strengthened out and will
be on third base against Cinnad to-day.

Parker, Bridget & Co.,
3l5 7th St.
315 7th St.

1t is more than likely that the recent
Leonard has killed boxing in New York.
The sUpposition was that the meeting was
TO be q friendly one, and Leonard got
Dixon's promise to go lightly, but he no
sooner saw an open Ing than he started
in to do" the colored boy and thus
make a cheap reputation for himself.
The outcome of Leonard's action was that
he and Dixon got into Il regular rough and
tumble fight, and the authorities now seem
inclined to give no more permits for boxing
shows.
The next important event scheduled for
the coming week is that between Kid La
vinge and Jimmy Handler, to take pla ce
before the Empire Athletic Club, at
Maspeth, on Monday night. This meeting is
bound to be an interesting one. Handler
is regarded by many expert judges of
boxers as having the making of a cham
pion. Lavigne has been tried by good
men and found to be n game, ha ard hitter,
but many think him slow and lacking in
science. Handler is not only very scientific,
but he is fast, and will give the Michigan
wonder a furious fight IL he does not de-
feat him. The winner OF this bout stands a
good chance, to be matched against the
English lightweight champion, Valentine,
If the latter should fail 10 get on a match
with the American champion, McAuliffe
Joe Tousey, who came to this city from
Chicago "A few days ago, has agreed TO
box Billy Mcmillan six rounds at the ex-
hibition to be given at Georgetown next
week. Tousey was at one time regarded as
. very good man He met Joe Choynski in
Chicago in a limited round go and made
Q good showing. He Travelled with Peter
jackson afterwerd, but since that little has
been heard of him in the boxing world.
The arrival of Valentine, the champion
English lightweight pug list, has not
created the interest among the boxers here
that the advent of such a distinguished
character from abroad usually does. There
may be n reason in this In the fact that
Valentine is not looked upon either in his
own country nor this as being Il phenomenal
boxer. He is neither q Carney nor Burge
When Carney came over something like
ten years ago lie created stir in boxing
circles everywhere, because he was looked
upon as having but one, if any, equal in
the world. Burge was not considered asg good
as Carney was in his day, but when the
latter came to America few years ago to
contest for the worlds championship
with McAuliffe, the whole pugilistic fra
ternity got excited, and n sac, ZOO purse
was offered for the meeting by Copey
Island club. but there were whispers that
II Burge and McAuliffe got together for
such purse the meeting would not be
on the square, and Judge Newton withdrew
1t and the battle didn't take place II
