All our best racers are getting mar

sepidemlcof marriage going ON among
them just now!' That il the testimony
that comes over from London, and It
would seem to be m undoubtcd fact
thatsthroughou England and France
at least the wheel Is rapjdly apament-
ing marrying and CIV ing in marriages.
The London County Cycling club has
recognized this tendency and has pro-
vided for it by Offering prizes for the
seasons racing that gentlemen COM
petitors may find aoceptAble and suit

The trouble IN says the New York
World. that while q cyclist is still In his
salad days and 5efore he thinks Of mat
rimony, he is greatly interested in
racing, and delights in posing as .
champion ''scoroher" for the benefit Of
lady cyclists who are there to view. II
there is anything wheelwoman APP
preciates it is man who is strong,
powerful and snduring on his cycle,
and who can put up century at very
nearly record speed. The men who can
do this the best are the favorites for
women to ride with. Long trips, the
participants being = man. and . girl
alone, naturally follow, and after few
of these an engagement results.
After marriage the ''acorchers" begin
to subside and their pace becomes much
gentler. Several of the leading cycle
clubs of London have lost many Of
their swiftest members through mar
riage. In an attempt to do something
to break this tendency the prizes for.
the one-hundred-mile race which is to
take place in London on the Herne
Hill track have been SO designed that
they can either be used as clasps for
gentlemen or as brooches for ladies. It
is hoped that the married women de-
sirops Of acquiring these wil force
their husbands to practice and enter
The effect of cycling on the matri-
monial market in this country has not
been especially marked here, but it is
likely ta-be within few months. That
is, if one may Judge from the number
Of engagements that are probably ION"

the Casino in the park have countless
COUPLES who dismount shyly from their

NEGRO MORTALITY ~ CITIES

Colored Population IN Towns Only Kepe
Up by Recruits from the Coantry.
DR.. De Saussene, Of Charleston, 8. c.,
has been collecting statistics to deter
mine the mortality among the southern
city negroes. It is well known, says
the New Orleans Times-D Democrat, that
their death rate is very large, but -
the statistics OF births are deficient II
has not been possible to determine g
yet whether the negro population can
maintain itself in the towns, although
there has been q strong belief that 1t
could not and that the negro population
Of the cities was kept up only by draw
ing from the rural districts. This Dr..
De Saussene now shows beyond aues-
tion.
In the fourteen years between 1850
and 1894 the deaths among the negroes
in Charleston exceeded the births by
5,426, that is, there were three
deaths for every two births. Tho
Charleston negroes are decreasing 1t
the rate Of 388 q year, and the
negro population of the city would
completely disappear in couple Of
generations if it were not recruited
elsewhere. The Charleston mortality
Is little less than that of New Orleans,
and allowing for this difference and the
larger number Of negroes here, in order
to keep up its colored population New
Orleans must draw 1854 negroes every
year, or 1850 every decade, to prevent
an actual decrease.
The heaviest mortality among the
negroes DIR. De Saussene finds among
the children. Out of every 1000 white
children born in Charleston, 297 die be-
fore they are one year old; out of every
1000 negro children, 564, or nearly
twice as many, are killed of. In Sa-
vannahs the mortality among negro
children is nearly three illnesses great
as among the whites. DR.. De Saussene
explains these figures by the negro ten
dency toward immortality and vice, and
the disposition to consumption, which
is carrying them off by the thousands.
These facts will explain what puzzled
the statisticians short time ago, why
the negroes increased so rapidly in pop
ulation during one decade and so slowly
the next. The growth of the southern
towns and the large immigration of the
negroes into them have scarcely affected
the increase of the colored population.
In the country districts their death rate
is much nearer that of the whites, be-
ing only 30 per cent. higher, whereas
in the cities it is from 65 to lis per
cent. more.

NIAGARA At WORK.
TAe Great Haus - : Csaseatoe u Ease-
tx3cltys

The first OF the flvethousand horse
power dynamos of the Niagara Power
company has been turned on and the
success Of the great operation has been
satisfactorily demonstrated. The ex-
pertinent was made in the presence OF
one hundred and Rfty members OF the
American Institute OF Engineers.
As certain parts Of the machinery
were not yet completed, says the Phila-
delphia Record, it was thought best
not to run the dynamo with the full
load Of Eve thousand horsepower, but
upwards of three Thousand rse-power
was developed, and it was demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all the experts
that all that has been mapped out for
this mammoth enterprise will be full
filed to the letter.
After the test the electrical engineers
were enthusiastic over what they had
seen.
DR.. Louis Duncan, president of the
American Institute Of Electrical En-
gineers, said:
at rest any doubt that might hitherto
have existed il the mind OF any man as
to the success of this undertaking. It
is certainly the greatest feat of cleo
trical engineering in the world, and
the test to-day is a demonstration that
it will prove all that has been claimed
for it. The machinery worked mar
velously well, better than any steam
machinery. In fact, there remains
nothing more to be done in the way Of
demonstrating the complete success Of
the work except transmission. It is
only necessary now to increase the
dynamos and the power is ready. Mag
ara has at last been harnessed, and is
now waiting to be hitchcd up.'
The question Of the transmission of
the power has been thoroughly dis
cusscd here. It is the opinion of all
the eL1 1;neers that the power will in
a short time be sent to all points within
a radius OF twenty miles from the falls.
They say the question of transmission
has been demonstrated in other coun-
tries to be successful. 1t is the general
opinion that in brief period power will
be sent from here to all the surrounding
towns for less money than it can be
produced locally by steam.
It is estimated that twenty thousand
horsepower can be sent to Buffalo,
twenty miles away; twenty thousand
volts pressure over three wires five
eighths of an inch in diameter each.
An idea of the tremendous force may
be had when it is stated that, If prop
erly applied, the power which passes
through these wires would snap eight
or ten Of the cables used on the Broad
way cars as it they were made of spool
cotton. 1t is power equal to that Of
forty railroad locomotives, and force
sufficient to turn all the wheels in the
city OF Rochester, and when the plans
of the company are completed, which
comprise utilization of four hundred
thousand horsepower on the American
and Canadian sides, it is estimated that
there will be sufficient power to turnf
every wheel, light every light :apd run;
every trolley car within a radius Of two
miles Of the falls in the United
States.

Washington, Oct. S.--Commissioner
Browning of the Indian office has taken
prompt and decisive steps to prevent the
Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize fight taking
place in the Indian territory. He has
prepared letter Of instruction to Agent
Wisdom at Muscogee, Indian territory.
directing him to SEQ that the laws are
enforced and to eject forcibly any in
truders who may enter the Indian coun-
try for the purpose OF creating a dis
turbance or of engaging In anything
that may be detrimental to the Indians.
Tho commissioner says that the statutes
OF the United States are ample to COW
err the situation and to prevent the fight.
The agent will have at his back not only
the Indian police, but all the United
States troops necessary to eject the
fighters. The statutes give the United
States authority to keep out of the In
dian territory all persons whose pres
ence would be detrimental TO the peace

London, Oct. 5.-A letter TO the Pail
Mall Gazette from Ku Cheng, pub
llshed this afternoon, dilates upon the
fact that the only fighting man sent to
Ku Cheng with the commission APP
pointed to inquire into the massacres Of
missionaries was Lieut.. Waldo Evans Of
the United States cruiser Detroit, In
spite Of the fact that two British gun
boats were lying Mt Foo Chow. The
correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
adds that when the party arrived ut
Ku Cheng the mandarin In command
there refused to allow the members Of
tho commission to attend the trial Of
the accused vegetarians. whereupon
Mr.. j. Courtney HIckson, the United
States consul ut Foo Chow, who was
the most energetic member OF the COM
mission, peremptorily demanded In the
most vigorous language the right Of
being present at the trials. He said he
did not care how great n person the
mandarin was, he would stir up NIL the,
powers unless he was admitted and
gave the mandarin four hours in which
TO made up his mind.
