THOSE CIGARS,

Down When Lighted.

Down When Lighted.
From the Chicago Tribune.
1t was the dead of night. Darkness
so thick that the street lamps made but
a glimmer in it and enveloped all the
city. Suddenly Mrs. Tomanjerry. the
wife of the genial and widely-known
South Side saloonkeeper woke with a
start from a sound sleep. Silently she
pushed the bedclothes away from her
face and rose to a sitting posture. She
listened intently. 1t was but too true.
there was a burglar in the house. She
could hear his footsteps as he stealthily
crossed the floor of the bar room below.
She placed one hand over Mr.. Toman-
jerry's face so that he could not cry
out and jabbed him in the ribs with her
elbow. Mr.. Tomanjerry awoke hur-
riedly.
John" she said. softly, there's a
burglar in the place.

DIAMOND STUDDED SWEATERS
An Innovation in Bicycle Costumes
Which Is Not Quiet Yet the Rage.

Diamond studded bicycle clothes are
the last things that q rational person
would think of, says a writer in the
sunday Journal. But there are peg
pie. wEo, if they kept cows. would sew
diamonds on them. provided they had
diamonds in plenty and the COWS
would stand it.
\ woman will find more places to put
diamonds. and more ways to get theri,
than man WILL ten to one, and 'f
anything marks n tendency toward d..
cadence in the magnificent sport OF BIZ
cycling. it is the growing inclination Of
women. who started out right. to be-
deck and bespangle their bike" CO.'S
tunes and themselves with diamonds
of all waters.
The new habit OF tacking gems on to
the bicycle costume originated, observ-
ant wheelmen say, with small but
very active actress in this city, who
started the boulevard and other BIZ
cycle Paths up town early this season
with the most marvellous of bicycle
outfits. She dazzled peoples eyes with
all the colors of the rainbow. and her
perforated hosiery left but little TO the
Imagination.
Brt when she had exhausted all that
dress could do in the way of producing
a sensation along the boulevards. she
heSan with the jewel display and as
she whiiind up and down the sunlit
afternoons the coruscations from her
were like the summer sunlight upon
the dancing waves.
At last the monotony of wearing So
mi, }, ,li1.l 10Y lpyy hnr Ia
tours seemed Ia weary even her. and
she declined, as base ball players say,
to bunch her hits" %
She dropped the costumes Of ANTI
ing blues. reds. rirks and purpIes,
ard one ''fratic'.s" day appeared up,n
the boulevard in The plainest but rich
est OF black cycliI.g costumes. Sh.
looked as trim, as jaunty and seurv
as it were r. asibie for woman L,
look. ON her l:ead was the small ,st
bit of a hat. but it had no ornament
but a single black feather. She had
black bloomers and black silk stock
| inss with a very perceptible rib, and
the rest of her shapcly figure was en-
cased in trim fitting black silk jer-
sey.
1t was all plain-enticingly plain
but the jewelry fad had not been for
gotten. She had simply carried it to q
higher plane Of perfection. In the mid
die Or the breast of the black silk
Jersey glowod and sparkled a gem
which would make a pawnbroker shed
tears of envy. 1t was a diamond we'll
nigh as big as a door knob, and all
around it, in a triple row. were ranged
emeralds and perls and rubies. The
whole design was completed by six
long, glittering points Of smaller dia-
monds, making a star such as never
shOne in the forehead of any dawn.
1t was her only adornment. save the
unquestionable beauty which nature
had given her, and with it she made
the hit of her life. After displaying
the costume two or three times upon
the Central Park bicycle paths. the
young lady took the costume with her
upon a western journey and sent the
cold shivers to running over the sus

THE GRANTS AT FIsTICUFFs.
Fred Grant, Unlike Young Scwall,
Supported His Father, and Both
Could Fight Gamely.

Fred Grant, Unlike Young Sewall,
Supported His Father, and Both
Could Fight Gamcly.
The Grants, father and son, knew
something about fisticuffs at the Point
1t is tradition that General Grant, an
undersized cadet, being forced into a
fight, was licked. He got in training
and tried conclusions again with no bet
ter success. A third time he failed to
win. but at the fourth fight. several
months after the first one, the young
fellow who in later life was to conquer
the confederacy by persistent pummel-
ing, knocked out his antagonist, says
the New York Press.
When Fred Grant was at the Point,
at the opening Of the 70s, he had period
ical punches with Quincy O'Malley Gill
more, the red-haired son Of General Gill
more, Of the engineer corps. Gilmore
is captain in the Eighth cavalry now.
and Grant is commissioner of police In
New York city. The son of the great
Grant was joshed somewhat by the
cadets. On Grants first Fourth Of July
at the Point he was asked, Mr.. Grant,
who was the greatest American"
George Washington" said Grant,
promptly.
He was the greatest American gen.
eral too, wasn't he?" asked the cadet,
with q grin.
HE may have been a greater man."
said the son Of the president, but
don't think he was a greater general
than my father"
What" yelled the first class man.
why, there's no more comparison be-
tween your father and General George
Washington than there is between a
plucked hen and the American eagle"
Then Fred Grant showed the stuff
that was in him. They fought right
there in the company street till the
guard arrested both.

BIGGEST BONA FfDE ELECTION BET.
Sfratton's Wager of One Hundred Thou
sand to Three Hundred thousand
Taken in New York

COLORADO SPRINGS, CoLo.. Oct. 3d.
The biggest bona fide election bet OF the
present campaign is about TO be concluded
here. w. S. Stratton, the millionaire
mine-owner of Cripple Creek. few days
ago offered to make a bet of 100000 on
Bryan against 100000 ON Mckinley.
Stratton's offer to bet this large sum was
telegraphed East by the United Associ-
ated Press, and through that medium was
given the widest circulation and publicity.
Mr.. Stratton's offer has been the chief
topic of discussion since it was made. but
none of the local mining magnates or
capitalists evinced any disposition 10 cover
the money. The belief. however, was gen.
eral that the bet would be called by out
siders. Telegrams were received here to-
day that the bet has been taken and that
the money is III the Chemical National
Bank OF New York, placed there by we'll
known moneyed men of that city. On the
advice of his attorneys. Mr.. Stratton de-
clined to send his money to New York and
take chances under the New York laws.
His money was placed in the First
National Bank of this city this afternoon
and the New York money is expected to-
morrow. Stratton has agreed that If he
wins the wager he will place the winnings
to the credit of the Colorado Springs Free
Reading Library, a very small institution.
