colorado has rejoiced in the posses
sion of two or three live representa-
tives of the English aristocracy, SAID
Alfred S. Trude, to voraclous re-
porter of the Chicago Times-Herald-
II met one of them at the Brown
Palace hotel in Denver when L was
going out ON a hunt. He was Lord
Ogilyie. and seemed intent on dong
as we'll as he could to pay or the
United States national debt. Inc IN
ternal revenue tax on the drinks thaI
man took from January to January
would place a government ga9ser De
yond want. Ogilvie had a cattle ranch
ND in Estes park, or perhaps North
park. At all events it was IN some
park and when he wearied OF ranch
life he would come to Denver to ENJOY
himself. He had superstitions ABOUT
sleeping. and could not rest well unless
he had a champagne bottle on each
post of his bed. Thus it came that to
insure somnolence he invariably called
up and drank four quarts after retlr-
ing to his room in order TO get the
empty bottles He was a very notional
man, this Lord Ogilvie, and pint Dot
THE occasion I met him he struck
Denver tired and worn out. he went
to his room early, and, after the Gus
tomary cork popping, went to sleep.
An hour after midnight sharp the loud
and somewhat truculent song of
rooster came reverberating through
the corridors and down the marble
stairways of the hotel. Again and
again the bird sounded his note. The
clerk stirred up his force of belIbOys
and they attempted to find the creature
which was breaking the rest of the
guests Twenty bells rang and the
clerk had to send back as many sooth-
ing explanations One man came
down half-dressed and pleaded to be
permitted to see the other cockfghts.
He was q clean-strain sport from Mis-
souri,, he said, and would never open
his mouth where the police could hear
of the main. He was homeSick and d
good, quiet cockfght would cheer him.
"At 2 o'clock the clarion again
sounded. This time the clerk. knowing
the habit of fowl. had deployed skirm-
ishers. Bellboys were on all the floors.
and the one patrolling the second
marked the chicken down in Ogilvie's
room The clerk went to the aristO-
Gratis room and kicked upon it.
Come in shouted Ogilvie, who
was aroused after ten minutes effort
Come in; the door isn't locked
"On the head Of the EngIishman's
bed was perched fine brass backed
game, the winner of a hundred bat
ties, and the owner of a voice like a
bugle. He regarded the stranger with
hostile eye and crowed again.

in using her arms to support herself
till the pedal comes up she is develop
ing this great pectoral muscle as well
as those under the arms and the vari-
Gus muscles of the back with the
names of every one of which she has
become familiar.
"a man of my acquaintance" the
speaker continued, declares that he
has had a great deal of fun developing
the exterior muscles of the leg and
that he proposes to learn the names
and location of every important mus
Gle in his body and then systematically
develop them by fancy exercise on the
wheel
Il have spoken of the necessity of
patience on the part of one who would
master trick riding Persistent effort,
constant practice, is also essential. So
is proper training, and this should be-
gin at the very start The first lesson
should be right, else the pupil has a
false start, which viii be exceedingly
difficult to remedy. The first lesson,
in fact, may properly be considered the
forerunner Of future failure or adj
vancemenit, not alone in muscular de-
velopment but in mental equipoise and
ease and grace of action as well.
The main object should be to check
rather than create in the pupil ten
dency to over-weening confidence, and
the display of much conceit in an en-
closed exercising hall, which is likely
to lead to serious disaster on the road
The expert teacher will always study
the temperament of the beginner. and
strive to develop an unconscious sense
OF security and self-reliance from the
moment the first mount is made The
teacher mars or makes the pupil at
the start. There are details and tech
nicalities inseparable from a thorough
preparatory bicycle education which
only experts understand. This is as
true in expert wheel riding as in piano
playing and everyone knows that the
surest way to ruin musical education
is to allow the pupil to learn pieces
on piano before he has mastered the
scales. A. e. VOGEL.

1t is a rather interesting fact that
riding the wheel often so stimulates
the desire for greater bodily develop
ment as to induce the rider to under
take a regular course of physical Gull
ture So true is this that the bicycle
academies are now included among the
great feeders of the gymnasiums. OF
late, however, especially in New York,
this desire for greater bodily upbuild-
ing has taken another turn. It has
been discovered that trick bicycle rid
ing affords exercise to every known
muscle, and therefore many amateur
riders, both men and women, who
have time and money to spare are 60
ing in for fancy riding. Nearly all
who have done so are highly enthusi-
astic and some go so far as to say
that fancy riding viii be the standard
gymnastic exercise of the future. Men
who are competent to teach trick riding
are in demand and points regarding
fancy training are valuable What fol-
lows is gathered from a conversation
with Ira Johnson, the intelligent col
ored man who has devoted most of his
time Tor the past two or three years
to the teaching of fancy riding to mem
berS of the richer classes in New York,
and who spends his winters in the
Knickerbocl1er city and his summers

AN IDEA For THE LAUNDRY.

Linens that have been stained by tea
or coffee may be cleansed by moistening
the spots with water and holding them
over the fumes of small piece of
burning sulphur or a few sulphur
matches. Wash Immediately with wa
ter in which a little ammonia or soda
has been dissolved. Stains that moth
ing else will remove are often taken out
by the vapor arising from burning sui
phur, but the material must be washed
thoroughly at once

There is an idea more or less preva-
lent among those who fiatter themselves
that they are practical men, that the
preservation of forests, the planting of
trees and specially the celebrat ton of Ar
Dor day are mere matters of sentiment
matters unworthy the consideration of
the practical men aforesaid 1t is I'M
doubleday true that forest preservation
and tree culture are worthy the finest
sentiment. and that they have provoked
the commentator of the best poets we
have had; but it is also true that there
is purely practical and economic side
to the question with which the statisti-
clan, the mathema tician and the practi-
cal man of affairs have more to do than
the sentimental poet who deals in fig
ures of speech to impress an aesthetic
truth.
The relations of the precious metals
gold and silver-to one another, are con-
interest, that all other questions of poll
tical policy are now secondary to this
one. II may astonish those who are veX-
ing their minds over this matter to know
that the timber product of the United
States is really of more Importance than
that of the precious metals. Let us look
at the figures. The product of gold and
silver in the United States for the year

STATE POLITICS.
Lively Democratic Convention Held
at Stockton.

| STOCKTON, June Gone of the live
! liest Democratic convention in the his
| tory OF the county was that of to-day
| For the past few days all sorts Of wire
pulling has been going on, and the enc
mics OF Frank H. Gould had him where
they wanted him last night. Then the
programme was changed, as his fol-
| lowers were afraid to put him up with
the other prominent Democrats as a
delegate-at-larg to the State conve.s
ton, and SO sent him to-day as a rep
resentative of his ward.
When the convention opened there
was no doubt but that Marion De Vries
OF this city would be the Chairman
DR.. Gordon of Lodi was also nomin-
ated, but he received but seven votes
and De Vries all the rest.
The delegates came to the convention
with all sorts of resolutions in their
pockets, and there was a sharp con-
troversy as to whether debate should
be permitted on the resolutions sub
mitted to the committee having charge
of them. 1t was finally decided to cut
off debate, but to allow the resolutions
to be read. One of the resolutions de-
nounced Cleveland in round terms, and
the others were rabid anti-American
Protective Association. 1t was finally
decided to adopt some more conserva-
tive statement of the sentiment of the
delegates, which advocated free coinage
of silver at a ratio of 16 to / and the
nomination of Presidential candidate
who was in sympathy with the free
silver sentiment
Marion De Vries was indorscd for
Congress in opposition to Grove l..
Johnson.
The following delegates We're selected
to go to the State convention: First
War3-Mike Brisco and W. l.. Brennan;

THE DIVORCE QUESTION.
Cold Comfort From the Church
Which is PitiIeSs.

In some of the British colonies the
divorce law has been extended so as to
embrace the several causes of disunion
which / have mentioned, Christian
dogma and tradition Notwithstanding
says the Westminster Review" Some
OF us may yet live 10 see the law sim
ilarly extended in the mother country,
and l venture to predict that, when
the time comes, not a few of the clergy
will be found willing to waive the mys-
tlcal tenets of their order and to throw
in their voice with nature and common
sense. l have known wives become
hopelessly insane, obliged to be put
under professional restraint, and leav-
ing their husbands in the prime of life
and With children to bring up. Nature
and common sense prompt the husband
to seek another companion, but the
State Caught by the church, says he
shall not. Accordingly he knows he
may not pay his addresses to any re
spectacle" lady. He even ceases to be
welcome where there are marriage
able daughters. What wonder if he
eventually accepts illicit companion
ship? And drunkenness. To say moth
ing of drunken husbands, have known
drunken wives, creatures unfit to con-
sort with any human being, self-de-
graded below the level of beasts and
maintained by desolate husbands whose
only hope is that death may speedily
consummate the separation. / have
known of husbands convicted of fell
ony and sentenced to long terms OF
Imprisonment, leaving virtuous and
gifted wives destitute of substance and
debarred from remarriage. OF deser-
tion it is sufficient to remind the reader
of the notorious Jackson case, wherein
the Judges of Appeal gravely decided
in effect that by going through the
marriage ceremony, a man may con-
denim himself to lifelong celibacy!
Cold comfort has the church for the
victims of these anomalies. She offers
only barren sympathy, exhorting the
victim to bear his cross with patience
But the victim may well retort that
such counsel comes i'll from a church
which has made the cross for him and
has helped to fasten it on his Shout
ders, and is ready to scourge him ESQ
cially and spiritually as soon as he
falls under its heavy weight, while she
escorts him along the weary road to
GoIgotha. For such is virtually the true
state of the case. Dogmatic Christian
ity has ever been cruel at bottom and
in this matter of idissoluble marriage
the church has been pitiless. 1t is mere
fetch worship, but it passes for mo-
rality.
