BICYCLE And HORSE
Great Events Yesterday at Louisville
and San Francisco.
BEN BRUSH WINS ANOTHER
Dwyer Has Luck Forced Upon
Him - Excellent Sport at the
Wheel Meeting Exciting
Sprints and Finishes.

San Francisco, May 1s.-The first ma
tional circuit bicycle races ever run in
this city were witnessed by $500 people at
the new Central park six-lap track this
afternoon. The sport was good, especially
in the amateur handicap race, which was
run off in u heats and three semi-fnals.
The time was fast in every heat-much
faster than in the professional races. In
the one mile scratch. professional. there
was a loaf in every heat for four laps and
a sprint at the finish. This style of racing
was very unpopular with the audience,
which expressed its disapproval by hiss
ing and hooting the riders. The finishes
were. however. desperate and exciting
enough. c. s. Wells, the big San Francis
coan won the honors of the day, winning
the mile scratch, professional. and beat
ing out the fast brigade in the mile ham
dicap, getting third place. In the latter
race Wells and Foster. old and bitter ri
walls, were on scratch, and caught Nc
Crea and Terrill, rs and so yards re-
spectively. in the first lap. Then began a
loaf. the men realizing they never could
catch the limit men, Jones and Gushing,
IS and 60 yards respectively, and were
content to play for third money. The fin
ish for third place was far the most in
teresting. as IL decided in a measure the
superiority of Wells over his old-time ri
val, Foster. The limit men finished half
lap in front of the bunch. When the
time came Wells used his terrific sprint
and won out by half a wheel from Nc
Crea, who beat Foster a few inches.
Jones won the race easily from Cush-
ing.
The one mile scratch, professional, final,
had Wells. Coulter Davis and Terrill as
starters. The riders took things easy for
four laps. when Wells stole around the
bunch and won by six inches from Ter
rill, who beat Coulter a wheel.

THE TERRIBLE CYCLONE.

horrible Details of the Storm-The TRACK
of tue Wind.
Sherman. Texas. May 16.-The great
est slaughter by the cyclone was done
here. w. j. Evans was killed by the
cyclone and II wounded. At Gribble
Springs, three persons were killed and
several injured.
When the first blast of the cyclone
was felt at Justin, Denton county,
more than a hundred miles from Sher-
man, men, women and children were
wholly unprepared for 1t. The cyclone
went northeast through Gerald and
Denton, thence to Mipgo, Giggle
Springs and on to Mustand. A hundred
miles was travelled in an hour. The
small settlements along the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas, north of Denton, all
suffered. Elmview was lashed, then
the village of Howe. The southwest
end of Sherman received the full force
OF the storm, which, while sweeping
over Denton county and part of Gray
son, seemed to have gathered new fury
and wreaked the worst of it's ruin on
this city.
The result of the terrible cyclone
which swept Gray's Hill and Fairview
additions to Sherman yesterday after
noon are not yet complete. The list of
dead up to noon to-day include rs. At
least dozen more are expected to die
before night. 1t is estimated that 20
or 30 bodies are yet uncovered, but
several hundred men are searching the
fields, digging up the debris and drag
ging the creeks. Six more bodies, four
dead and two alive, were recovered
this morning. The missing child of
Luke Montgomery was found this
morning 200 yards from home. The
little ones skull was crushed and the

1t is reported that IL bodies of dead
whites are being brought in from north
of Sherman. The streets are crowded
with stricken people. Hundreds of
farmers are in town, and 1t seems that
half the population of Dennison is here
to-day.
Details of the storm grow more hor-
rible. Bodies have been decapitated,
limbs torn off. eyes gouged out, cheeks,
fingers and toes cut off clean as IL with
a knife, hair pulled out, great slivers
of wood sticking through limbs, noses
fiattened in, skulls crushed, brains
scooped out Some victims have their
necks broken, others are mutilated hor-
ribly and some are not broken OF
bruised at adj, but apparently lie serene
in death.
Many private homes are utilized as
hospitals. Ladies are doing all possible
to care for the dying and wounded.
The undertakers are overrun with
work. People view the dark skies and
threatening clouds with evident appre-
hension. Bodies are being brought in
hourly. The total killed will reach 120,
wounded 100. The people are respond
ing generously to the call for help. and
over $4,000 has been raised.

Political.

The Republicans are waiting for
the two silver senators from Utah
before taking full control of the Sen
ate in all its offices. appointments and
spoils. They secured control of the
committees by Populist help when a
large silent vote was required. With
the two Utah votes they will have to
conciliate but one or two Populists.
The point is that the fewer Populist
senators they are compelled to sub
sidizc the greater the amount of
spoils and plumber that will be left
for distribution among themselves. -

According to report, Mr.. Davis OF
Minnesota is anxious to ride into the
White House on the crest of Il war
wave, and the resolution reported by
this Republican senator from the
committee on foreign relations is
presumably to set things in motion.
1t is another and wider departure
from the declarations contained in
President Monroe's message, which
were made under entirely different
conditions from those now prevail
ing, and will only serve to further stir
up the passions and prejudices of
persons who think nothing but red
war is Il remedy for the misfortunes
of this republic. The Davis resolu-
ton, which happily cannot become
binding upon the President, is far
reaching, and even takes the trouble
of settling their own petty disputes
and possible quarrels with foreign
powers out of the hands of all the
South American republics, which is
nothing more than a usurpation of
rights which would involve the Uni
ted States in endless and unnecessary
complications.

The ANONYMOUS In Magazines,


Should the anonymous be given
up, rs it has already been by all tho
monthly magazines? Certainly not.
There arc still many men, though
tho world will scarcely believe it,
who arc so placed that they cannot
avow their literary work, or who
feel as if they derogated from their
dignity in avowing it, or who are
unable to hear criticism OH them
selves by name, which they do not
feel unplcasantly when applied to
their work. They know much, and
they arc the natural patrons of tho
quarterlics. There is much to be said
even in tho historical and scientific
departments of thought which tho
writer's do not care to say over their
own signatures, and which it is to
the worlds interest should be said.
And finally in our day work is apt
to be deteriorated by being signed.
Tho writer is anxious about himself,
his own repute, his own consisten-
cy, his own standing in foreign eyes,
rather than about tho quality of his
work. There are cases, of course, in
which tho name of the author adds
a sincere value to his work, and
cases also in which prose writer
will no more do his best while hid.
