THE POLISH CHURCH TROUBLE.
4 Committee Asserts That n MajOrit!
Are Against Father Aust.

A committee representing those who
are opposed to Father Aust's adninis
tration of affairs at the Polish Catholic
church on the South Side called at The
Tribune Office yesterday and made the
following statement concerning Mon
day nights meeting:
The meeting was called to order by
Father Aust and he appointed Father
Gramlevitch as a speaker Father
Gramlevitch was not allowed to speak,
as he had no business there and besides
knew nothing of the affairs of the
church. All the priests then left and
afterwards the congregation appointed
the following committee to manage the
financial affairs of the church,: Presi-
dent, Joseph Nyts; vice president, Mat
thews Sufka; treasurer, Martin Rabega;
secretary. Leon Kafchienski; assistant
secretary. Stanley Rumovitch; con-
troller. Rev. Richard Aust.
six trustees and four collectors were
also appointed. This committee shall
exist for one year and shall manage
faithfully all the affairs Of the church.
We also wish to say that we had be-
tween six and seven hundred legal
members of the church at the meeting
which appointed this committee. Father
Aust had only about one hundred men
and they made the disturbance at the
meeting"

senate. the highest law-making body in
the country, and it was proper that at
this time the district should send a big,
broad-minded and patriotic man who
aspires to be legislator. not because Of
the pecuniary reward it will bring him,
but because he has patriotic desire TO
represent the people of the district.
Such a man he presented to the con-
vention in the person Of DIR. N. c.
Mackey, of Waverly. He said that the
part of the county DIR. Mackey comes
from is entitled to the nomination this
year.

The Gigantic InrOads on All Lines of
Trade.
From the New York Sun.
In the current number Of the Forum some
interesting data have been collected by Mr.
]. B. Bishop to show the economic and
social influence Of the bicycle He esti-
mates that since the passion for wheeling
got under full Roadway, less than five Years
ago, at least 500. 00O. 900 have been spent in
the purchase Of bicycles in the United
States alone. The output for the present
year is computed at from $50, 600 to I, 0eO, 900
machines. at an average retail price Of $50
each. Obviously, million people cannot
buy bicycles at the average price named
and continue to supply themselves with as
many other things as they would otherwise
have bought What are the other kinds of
business which have been most seriously
affected by the remarkable DEVELOPMENT Of
the new branch of manufacturing?
The makers of watches and jewelry are
said to have been the first to feel the effects
of the diversion of money to bicycles. 1t
seems that formerly on Christmas day ar a
birthday the favorite present to the male
members Of a family was a watch; now It
is a bicycle. The young girls on their part
were accustomed to save their pin money
for the purpose of buying earrings or a
breastpin; now they hoard it for a bicycle
The grown-up daughter, who used to look
forward TO the purchase of piano, now
concludes that she will wait no longer and
gets bicycle Instead. 1t Is reported that
the piano trade for the current year has
fallen Off 80 per cent. According to the
furniture dealers, young women, when al
lowed by their parents to choose between a
new set of parlor furniture and bicycle
always choose the latter Undoubtedly,
however. the worst sufferers are the horse
and carriage trades and the anciliary lines
of business. Saddle horses are drug in
the market: the livery stable business has
been cut down from a half to two-thirds:

II Was Walled Up in the Vatican

The oldest decorated walls in the palace

set to work to find IL, and at last got into it
through the window which looks upon the
roof Of the Sistine Chapel. The story, which
is undoubtedly true. gives an idea of the
vastness of the palace. and certainly sug-
gests the possibility of more forgotten treas
ures of art shut up in forgotten rooms.
One other such as least there is. High up
in the Borgia tower, above the Stance of

by Cardinal Bibbiena, of the Chigi family.

Tor new carriages the dema nd has been 20
much reduced that several leading manu-
lecturers have gone to the wall. The sad-
Ole and harness makers have been forced
to turn their attention to the making a
bicycle saddles. Riding academies have
been turned into bicycle schools
20 far only the direct economical come-
auences Of the bicycle craze have been con-
s.dered. Mr. Bishop proceeds to discuss
some Of Its indirect effects The Journals
of the tobacco trade assert that the coz
sumption of cigars has fallen of during
the present year at the rate of a million
cigars day: this they ascribe to the fact
that. as rule, wheelmen do not smoke
while riding. Saloonkeepers say that they
also suffer. because their rooms are de-
serted on pleasant evenings; even the
wheelmen who visit them avoid strong
drink. because riding requires a steady
head.
A large restaurant in this town which
makes a specially of table d'hote dinners
has incurred this summer a loss of half its
business through the desertion OF wheel
men. Railway and steamboat men report
that e-cursionists prefer to go to the coun-
try or the seashore on the bicycle rather
than by rail or water. Trolley and other
street car lines from cities to their sub
urbs have had their receipts sensibly di-
unfinished. In cities the theaters are said
to be injured by the bicycle even in winter.
and to be ruined in summer. On the other
hand. in country villages, the churches are
fast losing the attendance of young people
Va Suiiody, anu are trying 10 lure tnem
back by providing storage room for their
wheels. Shoamakers complain that they
suffer materially because persons who for
merly got their exercise by walking have
taken to the wheel. upon which they ride
in low-priced shoes, which are subject to
little wear and tear. Dhe matters say they
are injured because bicyclists wear cheap
caps. The tailors aver tipat5their business

cause their customers do not wear out
clothes rapidly as formerly. spending
much Of their time in cheap ready -made
bicycle suits. Dealers II. cry goods say
that the prediction of young women for
the wheel has reduced their sales of dress
goods and expensive costumes from - to
30 per rent because so many girls prefer
an evening ride in bicycle garb to sitting
at home in more elaborate apparel Final
ly, the booksellers declare that much rid
ing prevents much reading, and that their
trade suffers One great news agency IN
New York city. which deals in novels and
periodicals, asserts that its loss in trade
this year from bicycle competition does not
fall short of a million dollars.
Some of the economical effects of the
widely extended use Of the bicycle will no
donbt be lasting but others are certain to
be transitory. As Mr.. Bishop remarks
people are not going to get on permanently
without pianos watches because they
ride upon bicycles. As soon as a given
community becomes stocked with bicycles
and the changes and improvements become
so un!mportant as no longer to require the
purchase of new machines every year.
money will begin to flow back into some OF
its former channels.
