AN ELASTIC CORSET.
Perhaps the most perplexing subject
for consideration of wheelwomen is
how to get a corset exactly suitable
for wear while enjoying their favorite
exercise. Some admirable theories
have been advanced concerning the
mooted question of dispensing with
them entirely, but it has not met with
the hearty approval of the vast ma
jority. The combined skill of designer
and manufacturer has been taxed to
furnish an acceptable corset or su-
perior substitute. One firm appears to
have at last succeeded in supplying
the most unobjectionable contrivance
which has yet been put upon the mar
ket. Whalebone in the heavily boned
stays break with the constant swaying
or the body, and In a short time become
useless; therefore, nothing developed
on this order has proved serviceable to
the woman bicyclist. Elastic webbing
has been advantageously utilized by
the firm referred to in constructing a
corset. For stout ones two bands are
Joined above the waist line, the Sec
ond fitting snugly over the hips for sew
eral inches The upper one is fitted to
the form by means Of darts and is at
tached to a crocheted waist, which
helps to support the bust. 1t is the
embodiment Of comfort and is destined
to be popular with the athletic woman.
Another style has but one broad elastic
band, which terminates at the waist
line and is sort OF empire girdle.
HUNDREDS OF PATENTS.
There are filed in Washington 725
applications for patents on bicycle i'm
proVements. But it is difficult to sup
pose that Of that number named any
are likely to prove more interesting
than an invisible brake which, when
applied to a running fixed wheel,
seemed to be thoroughly effective. If
the contrivance is as good on the
road as on the stand, wheelwomen
will be able to surprise the multitude
by wondrous back-pedalling. After the
twentieth century bloomer girl-whose
mission seemed to be to prevent over
croWding-the other novelties of great
est interest were the new non-punct-
urable tire, which will be especially
useful for tandems, and the multogear,
which gives the rider a choice Of three

oil alone. The sprocket wheels should
be thoroughly cleaned before replacing
the chain. There are number of chain
lubricators on the market, including
mica lubricator, which will not soil the
hands or clothes. Many wheelmen
lubricate their chains with a semi
fluid preparation of lumbago and the
solid graphite as we'll; only a small
quantity of lubricant is required. After
the bicycle is cleaned it should be thor
oughly oiled and the bearings should
be examined and tightened, if neces-
sary. When the bicycle is put up for
the winter it should not be allowed to
stand on the floor. 1t should be hung
up with the tires partially inflated ;
this will tend to preserve the tires.

Chairman National Republican Committee.)
Nebraska, for presiding officer of the con-
vention. The selection of c.. w. Fair
banks, of indianapolis, for temporary
chairman gives general satisfaction. When
we add to these accomplishments the fact
that the presidential nominee has prac-
tically been named it must be conceded
that the convention has apparently a COM
paratively easy and brief task before it.
Obstacles may be encountered, but as yet
comparatively few of them are discern
able
The contest in the committee on resolu-
tions is expected to be sharp, but not pro-
tracted. AS it now appears there will be
little or no difficulty in agreeing upon any
of the planks of the platform except that
relating to the financial policy of the party
Two problems present themselves, The
first of these is how much to do for silver,
the second how little to do for gold
Around these questions range the specu-
lation and the interest of all.
One important question remaining un-
settled is that Of the selection of a vice
presidential candidate. Next to the flnau-
cial plank the filling of this place on the
ticket has engaged the greatest share Of
speculative attention the past week, but
apparently opinion has not been so well
crystalized on this subject as upon others.
The names Of many candidates have been
suggested, including those of Mr. Hobart
of New Jersey, Governor Morton and
General Tracy of New York, Governor
Bulkeley and Senator Hawley of Connecti-
cut, Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania,
Representative Dingley Of Maine, Hon. II.
Clay Evans of Tennessee, Hon. NJ. H.
DeYoung Of California, Ex-Governor Lip
petit and ex-Governor d. Russell Brown
of Rhode Island, and General McAlpin OF
New York. The official announcement
from Governor Morton on Saturday night
that he would not be candidate under
any circumstances leaves General Tracy
as the New York candidate.
Senator Quay's attitude in the conven-
ton continues to be the subject Of nc
small degree of speculation. When asked
whether his name would be presented as

THE EIsENHoWER TRIAL.
The Case Was Called This Morning and a
Jury Empaneled.

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
PoTTsvmLE June 15.--when criminal
court opened this morning, the first case
called was that of Theodore Eisenhower
charged with the murder of John Schwindt
on February 18th last, at Shenandoah The
reader is acquainted with the circum-
stances of the case, and how Eisenhower
laid in wait ut the deep cut on the Lehigh
Valley tracks at the south end of Main street
for William Schwindt, and how the latter's
twin brother, John, received the bullet, and
which caused his death two weeks later.
Congressman Brumm and George Dyson are
counsel for Eisenhower, and District Attor-
ney Bechtel will be assisted in the prosecu-
tion by John F. Whalen Esq,
The delay in securing jury was occa-
stoned by the non-arriyal of Judge Savidge,
who did not put in an appearance until the
afternoon session The defense has sub
poenaed thirty-six witnesses so far, and the
prosecution expects to call in twenty, so that
the indications point to a lengthy trial.
Eisenhower was brought into the court
room this afternoon, looking very cheerful,
although much paler than previous to his
confinement in the county Jail. Both Mrs.
William Schwindt and the widow of John
Schwindt are in attendance, and when
Eisenhower made his appearance they wept
profusely, and their sorrow visibly affected
those in attendance at the trial. Mrs. Eisen-
hover, wife of the prisoner, is not present,
in fact. she refuses to appear. Neither side,
so far, has subpoenaed her. The mother Of
John Schwindt is also in attendance at the
trial
At 4 o'clock this afternoon but two jurors
were selected namely: A. E. Granzon, of
Ashland, married, and a shoe dealer, and the
other is George Hill, of Silberbrook, Kline
township, miner, and married. Twenty-Five
had been examined, and of this number
three were excused, two accepted and the
remainder set aside 1t will probably require
the entire afternoon session to secure the
jury.

JUST ARRIVED FROM THE WEST.
o presidential candidate The senator re-
piled that the matter had not been def
nitely determined, but that it would prob
ably depend upon the wishes of the
friends of other candidates than Mckinley.
Mr.. Quay is in somewhat embarrass-
ing position. He has for some time real
lied the certainty in his opinion Of Nc
Kinley's nomination, and has advised that
the other candidates acquiesce in the in
evitable and retire from the contest. Pre-
vious to arriving at this conclusion he
had entered into an arrangement with the
friends of other candidates to remain IN
the race They are now disposed to hold
him to his agreement Hence, he finds
himself hesitating between his own incli-
nation to get out of the way Of the Mckin-
ley movement and desire to comply with
the wishes Of his coworkers.
A prominent member of the national
committee asserted this morning that Mr..
Quay was still urging upon other candl-
dates the advisability Of allowing the Nc
KInley nomination to be made by accla-
nation, and that falling TO secure aheir
acauiesence he would probably When
