TT WAS NOT A CUT IN WHEELS.
Merely n Few Il wheels the Indiana
Company Was Closing Out.

c. f. Smith, OF the Indiana Bicycle Com
pany. says the public must not construe the
signs posted In the windows of the waverley
store last Saturday to mean that there has
been a cut in prices. He says the cut was not
made on any OF the 1896 wheels, but was
merely on a few wheels not made this sea-
son which IL was desired to close out. Every
wheel affected by the cut. he says. was
plainly carded, and the cut did not extend 10
any others. He says IL was merely a closing
out sale OF those odd wheels. which It was
not desirable to carry i'm stock. being wheels
that are not being made now. He says the
factory Is running full time He anticipates
no reduction In price or standard wheels.

OF The Board Of Works that there were TO be

Smith says he does not want to undertake
TO organize such n club unless 1t can be
started or in first-class style.
There are few other cites or the size of

THEosopHIsTs on SUNDAY BALL.
General Consensus that All Sunday
Laws should BE Enforced.

George w. Brush lectured last night be-
fore the Theosophical Society on Sunday
Baseball" The lecturer took the ground
that those who wanted to play
baseball on Sunday had a right TO
do so, and that a person had as
good a right TO go and witness such a game
on a Sunday as on a Monday. He said his
views were purely individual and for which
the society was not responsible. He thought
the preachers by preaching about Sunday
baseball simply advertised 1t, and, il 1t is
wrong, then they do more harm than good.
He also said that ministers for generations
had sought to procure observance of Sun
day, but now, after centuries, had not in
f1uence enough with officials and the public
to compel the officers and police to enforce
what Sunday laws are found on our statute
books. Z 8f~-
After the lecture, a warm discussion of the
subject followed by different members, each
from his own standpoints The general con-
sensus seemed to be that the Sunday laws,
whether good or bad, shoul be enforced.

The CIeyeIands To-Day.

The celebrated Cleveland team. winners
of the Temple cup and commonly known as
the Spiders" will be here to-day for a
game with Indianapolis. Patsy Bolivar
Tebeau is captain of the Spiders and
they are as lively and, gamey a lot of play
ers as ever donned uniforms. Tebeau's
superb nerve is one of the features Of each
recurring baseball season. He invariably
claims the pennant, holds all the other
clubs cheaply, and comes pretty close to
making good all his boasts. Cross and
Phillips will probably do the box work for
Indianapolis. Hansen may possibly be put
in for a few innings in case IL is decided
to nave either OF the other two pitchers
named go against Detroit Wednesday,.
Buckley will catch part of the game and
McCauley will play first. The game will
be called at $3.50.

The Rig Four,s Adyertisement.

During the last week large posters have
appeared along the lines of the Big Four
road announcing that it will sell tickets at
excursion rates next Sunday to this city, on
account of the first championship game of
baseball ever played here on Sunday. The
trains will certainly bring in large crowds of
people. whether there is a game of ball or
not, but If there is no game there will be
many disappointed people from out of town
walking the streets during the afternoon for
want OF something better to do.

A few years ago Jim Chessley was one
of tho best all round athletes on the coast,
but he made a speciality of baseball and
sprinting. One night, after being out
with the baseball crowd, he suggested that
they go up to his lodgings and look at a
new suit he had bought to sprint in.
Though it was o'clock in the morning
they accepted his invitation.
Chessley stripped ana put on his new
running shoes and trunks. While he was
still prancing about the room before his
admiring friends a commotion was heard
out in the hall and cries of stop thief!''
Chessley threw open his door in time to
sec man darting down the stairway. He
dashed after the fellow, and, after sprint
of half block, caught him. When Chess
ley took him by the collar he whirled
around as if he intended to fight, but when
he had sized Jim up from the top of his
head to his spiked soles his jaw dropped,
he shook his head hopelessly and said:

THE SPHINX's BACKBONE.

Important Excavations Made BY
Colonel Raum of San Francisco.
LONDON, March 25.- The Egyptian
journal, Sphinx, says that Col. George
Raum of San francisco, has just, with
the khedive's permission, made excava-
tions at the foot of the famous sphinx of
Ghizeh, and even inside the stone mon
ster.
By gallery built at the base of the
head he has penetrated under the back
bone, and discovered sort of well,
which was cleaned out and found to be
twenty-five feet deep, and from this level
two corridors branch of, onsto the north
west, the other to the southwest The
top of the sphinx's head is pierced with
hole, in which it is believed there
should be fixed a head dress or cap of
stone.
Col Raum thinks he discovered the
head dress buried twelve feet under
the ground in a temple-Iike space
between the beasts paws. 1t represents
a coiled serpent supporting three col
umus, in the form of lotus, painted red,
and measuring forty-fve inches at the

the poets home in the hands of his late
friends in Amesbury.

to the fund.
Many leading men arc in favor of the
project to make it a memorial to Whit
tier and will send subscriptions to help
purchase the place.
