Turner's Down the Bicycle.

luruoIb DOWu buo DlOJOlo'
CHICAGO, April 27.-Chicago
Germans have gone on record as
being opposed to bicycle riding.
Up to this time the wheel has
reigned supreme in their ranks, as
elsewhere, with nobody to say nay,
but now the spell has been broken.
The men who refused to sanction
pedaling as an exercise are all in
touch with prominent athletic
societies and their action was
taken only after deliberate con-
sideration. 1t is the twenty-tifth
annual convention in turn verein
circles. This circle includes rep
resentatives of the principal Ger
man athletic societies OF Chicago.
Besides these are two Louisville
societies and a number OF Indiana
organization. All were represent
ed by delegates, who after one OF
the most spirited debates in the
history of the district, refuses to
commend to the national conven-
ton which meets in Louisville,
June %, that prizes be given for
bicycle riding as we'll as for other
kinds Of athletic sports. Thus the
two wheeled vehicles stand alone
as an outcast from the turner's
rank, for scarcely any other sort Of
machine used for exercising pur-
poses has been put under the ban
by the Germans. Prizes are
offered for excellency in almost
everything which brings into play
the muscles.
A distinct issue was made before
the matter was voted upon. This
was whether or not the wheel was
conducive to health. A number Of
speakers argued that it was not.
They asserted that it enervated
the system and most Of all that 1t
made the body crooked and
caused STOPPING shoulders and
spines.
One of the principal objects Of
the organization, they said, was to
make the body straight and perfect
in every particular.
Then the advocates of bicycling
had an inning. They cited the out
of door feature of the sport and its
! increasing popularity, but their
arguments availed them nothing.
When it came to a vote the propo.
| sition was defeated by substan-
tial majority.
Friends of the bicycle got but
little consolation out Of COM
promise, which they effected short
ly afterward, but which hardly
mitIgated the force of the blow
which they had received. This
was the passage Of resolution to
the effect that an exhibition of BIZ
cycle riding should be given in the
near future. 1t was expressly slip.
ulated, however, that no prizes
shall be awarded, and that the only
point to be considered is grace in
personal carriage. Speed is to take
no part in the show and an effort
to make it a feature met with so
much opposition that it was plain
the wheel had more enemies than
friends. The reports showed the
united societies to be 500 better of
than they were last year. George
d. Schmitt, OF the Chicago associa-
ton, presided over the meeting,
and Peter Tollenbach, Of Louis
Vile, acted as vice-president. 1t
was decided that the district con-
vention should be held at Evans
will, Ind, about April %, 1897.

CAFES AND SLASHERS.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
George Clark appears to be the
Wright Quincy Of the democratic
party. Things have never went
right with either the democratic or
republican organizations since
these two extinguished statesmen
formed their unholy alliance in the
campaign of 1872.
Does the administration propose
to entirely abandon the sewer
work ? Really, does the admins
tration itself know what it pro-
poses to do?
Time flies. But what has be-
come Of the proposition to hold
fair and exposition in San Antonio
during the coming autumn.
There are any number of gentle
men in San Antonio who would be
willing to sacrifice their time by
serving the dear people in con-
gress; but they are very solicitous
of Judge Noonan's interests and
feelings in the matter. None OF
them appear DESTROYS Of sacrificing
the Judge. That's the only thing
that keeps them from announcing;
so they say.
There is suspicious silence in
and around courthouse circles,
which BODIES no good to the ene-
mics of the chieftains. When the
old war horses get their thinking
caps on, they never fail to evolve a
program literally embellished
with red lights and pea green trim
mings.
Well, how about Mr.. Gray's de-
mand for $3.50 for alleged services
during the month of March? Has
the warrant been forwarded, with
cost of exchange added? 1t would
be too bad il Sammy were taxed
with the expense of 80 cents for ex-
change.
What has become Of that citizens
public improvement committee,
whose mission, primarily, was to
investigate the sewer matter and
endeavor to hasten completion OF
the work? The people had conf
dence in the gentlemen composing
the committee, and earnestly antic-
ipated some intelligent and prac-
tical result from their labors. Will
some member of the committee
please rise and report progress
The people of Waco have every
Incentive to keep cool during the
soming heated term, whatever may
be the torridity Of the political
temperature. Local firms adver-
tse to supply pure ice throughout
the city, in any quantities desired,
"rom 8 cents up" at the rate Of 20
cents per 100 pounds, delivered, or
| 15cents per 100 at the ice stands.
HIRE in San Antonio the consumer
considers himself fortunate in be-
ing served at so cents per 100, with
the accent on the hundred.
A new small calibor rifle has
been named the Cigarette, on &C
count of its deadly effect at short
| range.
The sewer situation shows no ap-
preGable change for the better.
Work has not been resumed, the
streets remain torn up and i'm
passsble in places, the interest on
the binds goes steadily on, while
theAlamo National bank enjoys the
uses, benefits and profits Of some
$150,p00 Of the city's money with.
out cents expense to itself or a
penny's profit to the city. Let the
band play on the people will chip
in when the hat is passed around.

FIRST TRAIN TO FRESNO
Passengers to Be Carried There
on the Valley Road on
Monday.
Will Take the Invited Guests Who
Are to Participate in the
Celebration.

Most of the session held by the directors
of the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Valley Railway Company yesterday was
devoted to the consideration of the re-
quest of the Fresno celebration commit
tee for an excursion train on October 5,
Labor day.
The Fresno people propose to make that
day one long to be remem bered by every
one who is fortunate enough to be in the
metropolis of the raisin belt on that date
The advent of the Valley road is the chief
motive for the celebration, and as most
fitting and appropriate to the occasion the
committee has asked the Valley road Off
cials to provide and operate its first pas
senger train between Stockton and Fresno
on the day in question.
1t took little time to accede to the wishes
of the Fresnoites, most of the discussion
being in the form of suggestions as to how
to arrange things so as to best please the
people of Fresno. 1t was finally decided
to make up train of the six fine passen-
ger coaches now at Stockton and two of
the combin alton smoking and baggage
cars and place it at the disposal of the
celebration committee.

TO FORM A COUNTY COMMITTEE

The Citizens Independent convention
resumed work on its list of candidates last
night. J. II. Gray was taken down as
nominee for School Director at his own
request. Mr.. Gray declined to run in con-
sequence of pressure of business. In his
place DR.. ]. G. Crawford, a man with a
Grand Army record, was substituted.
To fill the unexpired term of School
Directors DR.. J. II. Soper and T. R. Knox
were nominated.
G. ]. Hutchins of 7l5 Golden Gate ave.
nue. was given the nomination for State
Senator for the Twenty-frst District. c.
H. Wetgen was nominated for Tax Col
lector.
Having fixed up the list thus far, and
satisfying B. P. Mallatratt that his favor
ties, Wallace Bradford and H. c. Hender-
son, would not be disturbed, the conven-
tion mapped out a course for future
political existence by providing for a
County Committee, which will. when per-
fected, consist of DR.. George l..
Fitch, q. T. Written, A. G. Smith,
d. Forster and W. D. Kingsbury as dele
gates at large, with one member from each
council, club, lodge or other sub -organiza-
ton, and also one delegate at large from
the fraternal society to which the branch
belongs.
These will comprise the incoming
County Committee which will SOW the seed
for permanent political organization.
1t is expected that the work of the con-
vention will be completed at tomorrow
nights meeting.

OF such supervision are obviously so great
that some years must eiapse before any
measure of an effective kind could be car
ried into operation in American cities,
where political positions are not always
wisely filed.
He spoke of the use of tuberculin for the
purpose of discovering tuberculosis in
cattle, said it is most effective and spoke
in favor of its use in this State.
Major Alvord of the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry spoke in a
general way of the manner in which the
Government issues tuberculin. He said
that it is sent to boards of health and to
persons who give evidence of fitness to
use the tuberculin and furnish results.
The secretary read letter from II. III.
Taylor of the Milbrae dairy suggesting
that the use of tuberculin should be
made to conform to the condition of the
local COW, and that the University of Cali
fornia should manufacture the tuberculin
and furnish it at cost. He also suggested
that if a cow is found affected the owner
should be allowed to drive it to fertilizer
factory so as to be enabled to obtain q
certain remuneration for the property he
is forced to destroy.
There was a discussion on the present
methods of inspection in this State and
the necessity of law that would provide

to be destroyed. The matter of the man
ner in which the San Francisco Board of
Health acts in quarantining milk was
mentioned, and Mr.. Howard stated that
he was having legal opinion prepared
which he will present day.
Professor NJ. +. Jaffa of the agricultural
department of the University of California
read paper on cattle foods. He went
into long technical explanation of the
relative value OF foods for cattle and gave
the result of analyses of California and
Eastern food. The foods dwelt upon were
mixed feed, shorts, middlings, bran
(wheat), bran linseed, oatcake meal, CO.
coanut meal. cottonseed meal, burr clover,
beet pulp, beet pulp silage, clover and
corn silage. Beet pulp. he declares, has
proved most valuable food for COWS.

that the association had been organized to
aid the industry in getting legislation and
otherwise. 1t aimed to place the dairy
men of this State on levelNwlth those of
the East, who had superior educational
advantages. One of the chief objects was
to prevent, by legislation and other means,
the adulteration of products. The first
year of the association was an important
one. as the battle against oleomargarine
was fought and won, with the result that
the market was now in better condition
than it would otherwise have been. There
had been an overproduction of butter and
cheese, as many had engaged in dairying
because they had failed in other pursuits.
Notwithstanding the quantitatiYe over
production the quality was not such as
would command a market outside of the
State. The speaker called attention to
the need of education in dairying, such as
was given in other States. AS to tuber-
culosis, all dairymen hoped some way
would be found of protecting the public
health without injuring the dairymen.
AS means to this he advised strength
ening of the ASSOCIATION.
Mr.. Rousell moved the appointment of
an investigating committee to inspect
daiTies In which it was complained that
cows were affected with tuberculosis.
Mr.. lie Baron urged the action of the
association in securing good roads.
u. +. Adams suggested that the average
of California butter should be raised.
At the afternoon session there was full
attendance, and the first paper read was by
DR.. p. X. Brown, representing the Acad-
emy of Sciences, on the inspection of dairy
cows for tuberculosis.
In the outset he called the attention of
the meeting to treatise on tuberculosis
and its effect on the human race. He
then described the bacilli and the number
that are thrown off by a patient affected
by tuberculosis.
He showed that by the experiments of
Professor Ernest the milk from q cow
affected with tuberculosis is exceedingly
dangerous, particularly when the udder is
affected with the disease. The presence
of the disease is often found In COWS with
out the udder being affected.
He then spoke OF the character of the
meat of the tuberculosis-affect animal
and the methods that are employed in
Germany to prevent the disposition of
such meat for human food. The proper
ton of the people who are affected bv par

present Colonel J. T. Ritchey, Redlands
DR.. Livingstone. San Jose; T. L. Carothers,
Ukiah; Senator S. N. Androus, Pomona;

Colonel Ritchey was elected chairman of
the meeting and Colonel d. E. Miles Sec
retary.
1t was announced by the chairman that
round trip rate of $72 80 had been al
lowed by the Transcontinental Associa-
ton. While the date of departure has not
been definitely fixed it is thought that Oc-
tober Il will be the day. The excursion
lists themselves may elect the route. In
order to secure the rate offered one hun
dred tickets must be taken.
It is proposed that the excursionists
shall represent the leading industries of
California, such as wool. fruit, lumber,
shipping, banking, manufacturing and
railroads. Advocates of the Nicaragua
canal are to be feature of the pilgrimage.
The limit of the excursion privilege is
thirty days and the excursionists must go
in body. George II. Pippy, 623 Market
street, will receive applications from citi-
zens in this part of the State who desire
to make the trip.
Last evening Colonel William Mac
donald was elected vice-president and
authorized to call a meeting of the excur-
sion advocates in this vicinity whenever
he shall deem it necessary.
Colonel Ritchey of Redlands and G. J.
Gritfiths of Los Angeles will attend to
similar duties in the southern part of the
State.
Colonel Ritchey has received many
assurances, which lead him to believe
that the requisite number of subscribers
will soon be enrolled.

only and stops will be made at the various
stations along the route to take aboard
such guests. Among those who are to be
invited are Governor sBudd and his staff,
the directors of the Valley road and rep
resentatives of the newspapers of this
City. The directors will leave here for
Stockton on Sunday evening, lay over at
Stockton during the night and proceed to
Fresno on the Valley roads first passen-
ger train on Monday morning. The re-
turn trip OF the train will be made at 6
o'clock Monday night.
Contracts were awarded by the directors
Yesterday for the freight depot and the
turn table at Fresno. The depot is to cost
between $4,000 and $4,000 and work on it
will De begun in about two weeks.

proper facilities can be provided for trav-
elers all along the line and at the termi-
nais.

DISOBEYED A JUDGE,
A Jury That Refused to Acquit g
Prisoner When Ordered
To Do So,

Despite Judge Belcher's instruction to
acquit Antoine Lengo of charge of burg
larry the jury in the case yesterday brought
in verdict of guilty in the second de-
gree.
Lengo and Henry Newell, his room mate,
were arrested on suspicion of having
robbed several places. A quantity OF
stolen property was found il their room.
1t was proved during the trial, however,
that Lengo was not implicated with his
chum, and on motion of the defense
Judge Belcher instructed the jury to bring
in verdict OF not guilty. After a long
discussion the twelve talesmen overruled
the instruction of the court and brought
in the decision mentioned.
A new trial, at which LeDgo will be ac-
Quilted, will probably be granted.
