The Portland wheelmen who onter-
tanned their friends from Boston, July

in the form of invitations to the Sloppy
Weather Yacht club and the Dead Calm
Yacht club and about 25 mem bers of the
Press ard Middlesex Cycle clubs. There
will also be representatives from the
clubs in Sanford. Norway and the other
cities in the state, besides visitors from
Chicago, New York, Hartford anu HAY
erhill. The party will arrive on the morn
ing of September 18th, when they will
be met by. the Portland boys and taken
to the Congress Square hotel where they
will breakfast A steamer will be in
readiness and as soon as breakfast is

Elaborate arrangements are being made
and it will be- without doubt the greatest
day for visiting wheelmen for some time
to come.

A REALLY GOOD LAMP.
One That is Clean, Light, Bright and Will
Stay Lighted.

Now that the evenings are growing
shorter it behooves every cycllst who
enjoys ride in the best part of the day
to provide himself with a good light
giver to show the way. One of the
best we have seen is the new improved
Globe Vapor Lamp which we have had
the pleasure of testing. 1t gives a bril-
liant white light; will stand the hardest
knocks and laughs at the wind and
weather. 1t is light, beautiful in shape
and extremely simple.
The manner of attachment is UNIQUE.
no bracket being required, the lamp
fastening directly to head tubing or
forks quickly and securely. 1t is well
made, finely nickel plated and is as
much better than the old style lamps
that flood the market as daylight is over
darkness. 1t possesses one feature which
everyone will ppreciate-absolute clean
illness. Ii cleanliness is next Goodness
then the Globe Lamp should be an idol
to the bicycle rider and it is. 1t is the
original 'sVapor Lamp and contains
patented features to be found in no other
make.
To add to the other good qualities the
price has been reduced to $500. Trade

& Co., Chicago, who control output of

MAKING VOTERS.
How the Candidates Shake Hands at the
Rate of Fifty Minute or 800 per Hour.

An incidental feature of the Presiden-
tial campaign will be the handshake of
the four lending candidates. The other
day Mr.. Bryan shook the good right
hands of 4, COO men, women and children
at Lincoln, and it Is common occur
renee for Major Mckinley to shake hands
with 500 persons in an afternoon.
The political handshake, particularly
the national political handshake, is a
very different thing from the ordinary
business. or social greeting. Most people
don't know this. If MCKINLEY, Bryan
Sewall or Hobart shook hands like ordi-
nary people their lists would be shape
less mass inside of week. Imagine wha
1t Is to shake hands with fifty people a
minute for two hours at time, grasping
the dainty fingers OF sooiey belle one
second; falling into the ironclad clutch
of horny handed son of toll the next
second; shaking the mushy paw Of a bar
gain-oounter dude she third second !;
catching the diplomatic hand of mil
lionairs the fourth second; fondling the
pudgy palm Of an Influential dowager
she fifth second; pressing the oily hand
of fat politician the sixth second, and
80 on through every grade OF the human
family, tickling the pet emotions and
fiattering the respective vanities OF each.
aanQ6QakluS IS JuQSeI 10 10 u sluple
thing by the unthinking, but when it is
elevated to high place among the arts
IL becomes an intricate science.
Mr.. Bryan s shake is a device tingling
with emotion, bubbing with enthusiasm,
sizzling with vigor, bursting with conf
0enoe and volcanic In its heartiness, cor
diality and good will. But it is artful,
like the hand grasp of every schooled
statesman. Mr.. Bryan never allows the
visitor to do the shaking or the squeez-
ing. He does that and SO do MoKin-
ley, Hobart and Sewall. Is's q matter of
representation, and after a little prac-
tioe the habit becomes instructive. The
art lies in grasping the extended fingers
Of the visitor and holding them in such
position that the visitor cannot get a
good grip on the candidates palm.
The caller may try to slide his palm
further along, but the fingers of the can
didare hold him firmly. This gives the
candidate distinct advantage. and the
practical joker, who has q grip like a
steel wise, Is balked in his endeavor to
crush the hand of the smiling candidate.
4 his brand Of the practical Joker seems
to make 1t business to shake the hands
of great men just for the pleasure Of see-
ing them Vince under mighty pressure.
But the up-to-date statesmen have foilsd
them by adopting the candidates grip.

THE BROWN STRIKE,
Two Men vvounded-Cleyeland Traders
Complaining.

cleveland, o., August S.-Tha militia
stationed at the Brown Hoist works
charged upon crowd of citizens who
were peaceably gathered in front of the
home of one of them Lust night and two
men were bayonetted. Their wounds
were not serious. Fifteen men were ar
rested by The soldiers, charged with dis
orderly conduct. A petition was started
last evening among the business men in
theEvicinity Of the works, appealing to
the mayor for police protection against
the militia. They claim that theiI GUS
toners cannot walk the streets peaceably
without danger from the bayonets of the
soldiers. The decision in the injunction
case against the mayor to restrain him
from calling out any more military to
protect the Brown works was passed
until next week.

is to BIO no repetition OF the Jameson
trial in his case. 1t Is known that Mr.
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, de-
sired TO see him iii the dock and has dis
cuSsed the question of indictment with
Mr.. Arthur j. Balfour and the attorney
general. There are as ample reasons for
indicting Rhodes as for the conviction
of Jameson, but a trial and its prelim-
inaries would have involved a delay of
six months III the proceedings of the COM
mlttee of inquiry, So Rhodes has mean
time escaped the ordeal he challenged.
When he reappears in England il will
be with ruined prestige and as ooni-
paratiYely poor man.
Cables from Rhodesia convey little of
the truth as to tho destruction that has
fallen upon the colony. Private letters
received by business firms in London
having relations with companies at
Johannesburg and BuluWayo disclose
facts which the chartered company's Off
Gals will soon be unable TO conceal.
There is DO longer q COLONY nor oolonists.
Though the Matabeles have been driven
into the forest end hill Businesses, it will
take months to subdue them effectively.
While insecurity continues, business pro-
jeots are impossible. London firms have
ordered their agents to return as soon
as puSblD1os NEOSp6OttuS byuulCdtoS anu
promoters having land lots and mining
concessions on offer in London, Glasgow
and other centres. have ceased TO operate.
The colonists are streaming out of
Rhodesia towards the Transyaal, any
where southwards where they see a
chance to live. The only traffic into the
colony IL in munitions and provisions for
the troops. Men who are not enrolled
in the fighting forces and all women and
children are assisted to emigrate. as a
necessity, from country where milk
costs 70 shillings per bottle ard small
tin can of ment about five shillings. All
necessaries than can be brought by trans
port ale required by the fighting men.
Within the next two months Rhodesia
will be deserted by all but the fighters
and this is part of the story that will be
told before the inquiry committee. As
regards the military operations it is ex-
pected that they will be suspended when
the rainy season sets in. If the Matabeles
had been absolutely crushed before the
raids came on lasting peace would have
been secured. The stand they have made
is giving them something like the pres
tige of victory among the native races,
and widespread risings are feared in the
north of Cape Colony and in Natal.
