Wheelmen.
NEW YORK, Feb. lS.-The annual
convention OF the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen began this morn
ing at the Grand Union hotel in
this city, with attendance Of bicy-
Gle enthusiasts from all states,-
Maine to California. The primary
object of the convention is to dis
cuss several important changes in
laws Of the league, and selection OF
place for next annual meet. The
question whether or not the color
line shall be drawn in the league
will come up during the SEES.
sion, and will likely provoke
more contention than any other
question before the league, as the
mem bers are very evenly divided on
the question. A mighty effort will
be made to have the law admitting
colored wheelmen to the league re-
pealed. Roll was called this morn
ing at l0:40, after the committee
on credentials had filed its report.

Good Word for John J. Stevens

Good Word for John J. Stevens.
From the Texas Blade.
"In this campaign in all Of its
rancor and severity we sincerely
regret, it was our fate to speak
harshly of J. j. Stevens. Mr..
Stevens was for years the right
hand friend and earnest supporter
of Gov. Edmund J. Davis. Not only
this he has justly earned the repu-
tation of being friend to the col
ored people. We knew this, but
we pledged our faith to act honest
~ by our interests. Did we keep
our faith? Many little acrimoni-
GUS things were published on both
sides; and many lasting enemies
made; we regret this; but we do
not regret we stood fearlessly by
the business interests, against
those who opposed them. No man
in our opinion is more honest or
deservedly popular than John j.
Stevens, and we hope in '96 to see
him in the reform movement with
his friends, who will always stand
by him, instead OF permitting his
name to give an air Of respectable
ity to a ticket that always here
after will fail to win"

this truly startling description of the con-
dition Of the destitute there: "At one
time we had nothing in the house TO
eat My daughter Rose came across an
old flour sack containing some stale bread
and crusts, which had been i'm the house
eighteen months, hard and dry rs q bone.
BY pounding with hammer and soaking
in warm water, we were able TO emf
them, while my son was away in search
of work. We have lived the past year
almost exclusively on bread and flour
and-water gravy. There are many in
this vicinity who are fully as destitute
rs we are. Food and fuel are what we
are the most in need of. We can burrow
in the ground TO hide our nudity and keep
from freezing, but it will not satisfy
hunger"

AMERICANS EAT TOO MUCH.
Result of Investigations by the Blu
Icau of Animal Industry.

Icau of Animal Industry.
The nutritive value and cost of foods is
discussed ~ length in bulletin of the
agricultural department, based on inves-
tigation made by the bureau of animal in
dustry. The results of these studies, says
the bulletin, confirms the general impress
sion of hygienists that our diet is one
sided and that we eat too much. Owing
To the large consumption in this country
of sugar and the use of large quantities
of fat meats, the food which we actually
eat has relatively too little protein and
too much fat, starch and sugar. 1t is
found that the protein in ordinary meats,
fish and milk is readily and completely
digested, that of vegetable foods is much
less completely digested than of animal
foods. One-fourth or one-third of pota-
toes, whole wheat and rye -four may es-
cape digestion and thus be useless for
nOurishmCnt, and onc-siXth of the pro-
tein of wheat flour, corn meal, peas and
beans may be assumed TO be undigested
when cooked and eaten in the usual way
''Of the meat extracts in the market"
continues the report. ''some contain very
little and others practically no material
which builds tissues or yields energy
Animal foods crafty the palate in many
ways which the vegetable foods do not
and what is perhaps of greater weight in
regulating the actual usage of commune
ties by whose demand the prices are regu-
lated, they satisfy real need by supply
ing protein and fats, which vegetable
foods lack"
