Cycling Notes.

Cycling Notes.
The cycle sundres market is flooded with
so many so-called tire-repairing outfits for
single-tube tires that contain utensils and
material so radically at variance with the
proper method of repairing this class of
tires that were it not for their superior
qualities, which even a bad repair job can
not totally efface, they might suffer in the
long run. Riders of single-tube tires should
insist on procuring repair outfits with
blunt-edged plug patches made in proper
proportion to the size of puncture. large
size plug should have a large-size crown,
of the same thickness from center to edge,
and it Is folly to use any other. The plug
must be properly supported at its base
from the inside, and wnen repair is made
in this manner with the proper material
and care it never becomes defective. The
natural cohesiveness Of the rubber and the
evenly distributed cement between make
the patch and tire as one piece.
Regarding his wonderful record-breaking
competition mile Of 1.5S Is, made at Chi

struck the turns on the track the pacing
triplet could not hold them and swung
wide. but 1 had no idea that We were go
ing under TWO minutes. When 1 jumped
the triplet on the last turn twas an easy
matter to leave it behind, and LBS would
have been nearer the time had the pacing
been fast enough.

GOOD FOR THE GAME.
Jack Doyle DcpOsed From the POSI-
ton of Manager of the Giants.

President Freedman has deposed Jack
Doyle from the management of the New
York Base Ball Club, and until further
notice Harvey L. Watkins, who has acted
as assistant manager, will be in charge.
Secretary Bonnell said: Il received tele-
gram from President Freedman announcing
that he had deposed Doyle and put Wat
kns in his place. That is about all 1 care
to say about the matter just now. The
trouble and misfortunes which the club has
suffered from in the past few weeks are
pretty well known, and 1 do not care to
say one word which might in any way add
TO them
1t was said that the main reason for
President Freedmans action was that
Doyle was not disciplinarian and did not
wish to fine or restrict his players.
But that this was not the reason for the
move is well understood. Those who were
left behind to look after the interest of
base ball did not fail to see how things
have been going from bad to worse since
the return of the Giants from their western
trip.
President Freedman, who is now in Nova
Scotia suffering from hay fever, was nod
fed of the result, as stated.
1t is not regarded as probable that Wat
kins will be retained permanently as man
ager. He hasn't had enough experience.
He is, however said to be an exceedingly
clever man and much more of a hustler
and diplomat than Doyle. He was formerly
with circus.

WHAT WILL TIE PRICE REQ

The Eagles corn editorial has gone
the rounds and the price of corn and
hogs are assured so far as We can as
sure them. In the meantime showers
OF rain continue to descend, and every
shower from now on adds bushels to
every acre, and instead of OO,O0O. 900
bushels, Kansas is likely To have 400
100000. or with good soaking rains up
10 the middle Of August millions more.
In the meantime the SowS would do
well by doing better.
But for few additional statistical
facts about corn. Exports of corn for
the fiscal year ended June 30. acsrerat-
ed 25.50I.I5 bushels. which WAS the
smallest total for any year since ISIS.
The largest annual export of corn from
this country was in the year following
the big production IN 1889. when 1o1.
913,t17 bushels were sent abroad
Even in that year the shipments were
triiie short Of > per cent OF the Weld.
and in no other year on record has the
expectation Of corn equalled the per-
centaSe Of the production. But corn
is the food basis Of 4 very important
class Of exports in the form of meat
products and lard. and the effect Of q
large or small yield upon the foreign
trade Of the country is not TO be mea-

1T WAS NO GO.

The old hook and ladder wagon, the
original fire apparatus belonging TO
Wichita. was out yesterday for its last
appearance on our streets. Il was on
its way to newer frontier town and
was being hauled Off by number of
men composing the city's original vol
unteer fire company, headed by brass
band and escorted by fine modern
engines. 1t was a case of ''off with
the old and on with the new" The

daily brass band performance is no

stood opposite, has long since been
forgotten, its managers and its actors.

to sit stradle Of whiskey barrel in
his shirt sleeves in front OF his store
and smoke a short pipe the latter have
probably long since Joined the silent
majority. When the procession
reached the front of the Eagle Office
it was halted for a moment and then
run was made. 1t was a short one.
Wichita's original fire boys found that
they were old men. The run lacked
the spOntaneity and ''get there" of the

ell, officially, adopted the motto Of

NO RIGHT TO KISS HER

Give the new woman an inch and
she will take an ell and follow it up by
denying everything, it seems. The
bike had no sooner been conceded
than the boomers were demanded. The
hideouS hybrid of skirts and breeches
and mans meek martyrdom in sub
hitting to them as demands is NOR
tifying enough, but the humiliation of
threatened denials is what is worry
ing the lords of creation. Away they
go spinning along the landscape scan
daliZing the gods, but what worries
the man is will she skim back. If
riding wheels was only confined to
man it would run out as a ''fad'' in a
short time, but there was deep design
upon the part of woman to mount and
TO ride. The act not only involved
the right to the trosuers but the right
to say nay as well as yea. 1t in
wolves ways of living and reciprocal
duties and love and its caresses, IL
indeed a man would ever want to kiss
a thing in boomers astride a wheel.
However the issue has been forced
and that too by a woman in the land
Of polygamy, the home of the en-
franchised and liberated sex. Her
name is Mrs. Maria Lee, this ''new
woman" and she is not only beautiful
Of form and feature but her husband
loved her to death. But she being
new, bike rider in boomers, declares
that there should be no such thing as
love between the sexes and that any
or all demonstration of affection makes
her sick. So for three months she re-
fused to allow her husband to kiss her
on or off the wheel, behind the door or
anywhere else. Thus last week, feel
Ing that he couldn't stand it any longer,
he plead for an osculatory embrace
just coaxed for it. But Mrs. Lee was
firm, and more beautifully bewitching
and killing in her perverseness than
he had ever seen her, so much so that
Mr.. Lee became desperate and pulling
a revolver demanded what he believed
himself entitled to. 1t was loaded, he
was desperate and she wilted. knowing
her man.
But this did not end It. The new
woman is not TO be ended by n revolver
if it is loaded. She has sued him for
divorce, asserting that she didn't care
to live with fellow who was bound
to kiss whether or no. The funny part
of 1t is, that is funny for the new
woman but startling for men who
have been foolishly suposing that they
had right to kiss their wives when
ever they felt like it. the Utah court
has just granted the divorce.

HoRR,S CROWD ROWLING.

Harvey is having a picnic and the
great daily papers Of the big cities are
sick. The financial editor OF the New
York Tribune, the eX-banker and eX-
congressman, who in representing the
leyel-headed and the wise of the Re
public, was to utterly route the author
of Coins Financial School and rebuke
the idiosyncracies of the woolly west,
is himself being done up" in a humil-
iating manner. That the metropolitan
press feel the defeat, that they are sur
prised beyond measure is evidenced
in their own columns. They now at
tempt 10. weaken the effect by belit-
Ting the discussion in fippant para
graphs, in long editorials Of expla-
nation and by caricature.
Say, declare and threaten as they
may the fact remains that the single
gold standard is but a modern expert
mental robbery. 1t was case of legal
looting, Of the capitalist stealing from
the poor laboring man, of the creditor
holding up his debtor. 1t was a case
of assumed mastership and of possibly
slaves.
Harvey will make all this very plain
before he gets through with the pluto
Gratis champion. The plutocrats now
see this and it makes them sick, hence
the sneers and explanations of their
organs. He will show that all the
opponents of the policy of reopening
bottom dishonest schemers. We have
wondered If when the American peo-
pie have asserted themselves and de-
clared that silver must be reinstated, if
these fellows wouldn't come forward
with a proposition that all farther min
ing Of silver cease.
Horn no doubt will do as we'll as any
man that cause could have selected
to present side which holds out no
hope, but Harvey being neither a poll
tician or banker but the advocate of
right must win. 1t is the men whom
HOrr represents that are endeavoring
to faSten a new monetary standard
upon the world, and the burden Of
proof rests upon them to show, if they
can-and they cannOt-that the scheme
they advocate would be better than the
bimetallic policy which has the ap-
prevail Of centuries to commend it to
the judgment Of mankind.

THREE SILENT MEN.

During the last few days the county
has been treated to the delightful di-
version Of beholding Benjamin Harri-
son escaping from the newspaper re-
pOrters. There is an Indication Of a
slight Harrison presidential boom In
the country, and the summer madness
on the part Of the newspapers is to
discover whether Mr.. Harrison will
father that boom and whether, also,
he has any settled idea of the financial
question.
In the hot chase after the Hoosier
several newspaper men have over
taken him and put the questions TO
which answers are desired, point
blank. To these attacks Harrison has
quietly replied that he will not talk
for publication.
Tom Reed is safely hidden in the
Maine forests, the only intelligence in
regard to him being that he has cut
off his mustache and doesn't care to
talk for publication. Mckinley who
isn't hiding at all, is just as firm as
Reed or Harrison in his refusal to
talk
From the standpoint of partisan
benefit, it must be agreed that the
three most prominent men in the Re
publican party do well to hold their
tongues. One of the troubles with the
Democratic party has been the capac-
ity most all its leaders have. OF slop-
ping over. Democratic statesmen with
a propensity for airing their views
have caused as much discord and dis
satisfaction in that party as any other
one thing.
There is no need for Harrison, Nc
Kinley or Reed to talk. 1t is not abso-
lutely essential TO the comfort of the
land that it know whether one or the
other is n candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination, or what his views are
on the financial issue or tariff.
AS for their ambitions, if they have
any, and it is generally understood that
they have. it is best that they talk
little and do much. AS their silence
is not hurting the party or the people
or themselves, why should the news
papers worry at all?

Electricity on the Stage.


The perfection OF stage realism Is due
IN measure 10 the advancement OF cleo
tricity. Sizzling or shifting calcium
lamps and dangerous heating gas jets
have been entirely supplanted by the more
effective and more readily handled electric
current. One of the most novel effects is
that OF making a rainbow. Feeble paint
ed slides or old stereopticon methods are
employed no longer The rays of pow
erful arc Of 5000 candle power passing
through adjustable double prisms are d.
verified, and by an adjustable mechanical
device partial primary or secondary
rainbow can be produced.
By the electric sciopticon-a device look
Ing very much Ike camera-many new
and beautiful effects are secured. One OF
these is true imitation of the rising and
setting Of the sun. The sunrise instru-
ment produces a red glow at dawn. and.
as the sun continues It's motion. the color
is gradually changed TO bright sunlight.
The reflection Of the sun or moon on rip
ping water is simulated. as well as the
falling OF water either IN the shape OF
cascade or rain.
To the list of opticalillusions by means
Of the arc sciopticon may be added the
falling of snow. the dashing of waves, the
gathering and passage OF clouds across
a background, rising fire with smoke.
sand storms, the fata morgana. the
aurora boreans, the play Of lightning and
the eruption Of volcano.
The open box arc amp IS especially
designed to take the place OF calcium
lights. 1t is claimed to give from four
to ten times more light and to be easier
to operate. 1t consists OF the handled
arc lamp, a sheet iron case with color
slides, and a wrought iron stand with a
device by means of which the light may
be thrown in any direction.
The Chaser is adapted for projecting
a beam OF light on stationary or moving
objects. The lamps is provided with a
graduator. by means Of which the light
can be changed to five different colors.-
