The Fad in Bicycling Will Be
Paper Chasing.
Society People Take Part in a
Run Near New York.
A HUNT BREAKFAST.
Prizes Awarded the Winners,
Also a "Booby" Given.
Pass Trough a Small Town Like
a Whirlwind.

New YORK, Feb. 24-'Paper chasing"
on bicycles is the latest eastern fad A
successful and delightful meet was held
IN a country town near New York, and
all society is talking about it.
The party met for a "hunt" breakfast
at high noon at the clubhouse. Imme-
diately after the breakfast, TWO of the
best riders, with leather bags, filed
with bits of paper, acted as the shares"
They were given a good start and
rushed along the we'll made roads, turn
ing this way and that, and dropping bits
of paper as they did SO. The ''hares"
seemed to fear hot pursuit, and, accord
ingly, ran a different course for nearly
four tiles.
When they were out of sight and some
distance away the "hounds," some forty
six in number, with IA whipperin and
master of hounds. started after them and
had to follow the route mapped out by
the bits of paper.
The ''hares'' laid their course to a
club house, where aftern Don tea was
served. In summer beautiful glade,
where an appropriate luncheon is spread,
will be an appropriate flush. About ten
minutes later the mounds" came in, led
first by one of tho feminine members of
the party and her escort, the whipper-in
and second by two men, one the master
of hounds; Miss - was good third
The gain of about ten minutes made
by the hounds" over the "hares" ex-
hibited a remarkably speedy run. The
first prize going to the young woman
who was first in at the finish consisted of
silver bicycle lantern. The second
and third prizes-a silver bell and
whistle-were awarded to the next best
riders among the women. There was
bloody" prize which was presented to
the last uan in at the finish.
When the riders passed through a
small hamlet en- route with their bicycles
lin full gallop," they creattd quite
sensation. In their enthusiasm to be
in first at the finish they violated the
town ordinances, if, indeed, the town
was possessed of Sucn rules, in regard to
fast riding, and passed through the place

was shown the Associated Press dispatch
from London this morning stating that
the Bolin gbroke club of that city would
give purse of $4,000 and $500 each ex-

Corbett read the dispatch carefully and
then said: II will accept the proposition.
The Associated Press may state that if
the Bolingbroke club will forward the
articles of agreement to me l will sign
them without delay.
"As to the bluff made by that second

HANLEY'S CASE DROPPED.
The Case of Burglary Against Him by
johnson s. Nebel Nollied.


The case against George Hanley, the
confectroner, charged with burglarizing
the store of johnson s. Nobel has been
nolIied at the instance OF County Attorney
Stafford.
Hanlsy was arrested in a highly sensa-
tional manner early in the spring of
1895 on complaint of viii johnson, of
the firm of johnson s. Nobel. johnson
claimed to have caught Hanley in tn o
early morning stealing cakes from the
interior of their store, having entered by
a window. johnson had been watching
for him.
Hanley had but a short time before
sold the stock to johnson s. Nobel, and
they still owed him sum in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, Hanley Immediately
said it was "a case of blackmail, and that
Johnson had called him into the store
and made him a proposition that if he
would release the mortgages they would
let him 20, but that if he refused they
would bring a charge of burglary against
him Hanley refused to do this.
County Attorney Stafford has nollied
the case on the ground that he has no
more evidence than was produced at the
preliminary examination aud that it,
with the fact in the way that johnson &
Nobel owed Hauley a large sum of
money, would hardly get conviction.
There is reason to believe that there is
considerable in Hanley's story of the af-
fair. Mr.. Hanley now has the stock.

GaIIarv of Rnman Curios.

The initial steps have been taken IN
an enterprise which, when completed,
will give the American Museum of Nat
ural History a collection unique of it's
kind. The idea is to have model fig
ures representing at least one type
from every race of human beings on
the globe. Such a vast undertaking
will, of course, take years to consum-
mate and can only be carried on by
degrees.
The old Wood hall, where specimens
of American wood are shown, will con-
tain the specimens. DIR. BoaZ, professor
of anthropology to the museum, has
already plaster casts and measurements
of faces, hands and feet of number of
Indian tribes of the North Pacific coast
and few models of some of the Brit
ish Columbia Indians will be ready
next week. Special attention will BIO
paid to the aborigines of this continent
and there are now nine museum at
taches busy taking measurements Of
aboriginal tribes west of the Rockies.
Plaster casts will be taken of the
faces, hands and feet and photographs
OF the whole figure, full face and profile,
and exhaustive measurements will be
made of the physique. With these data
to work upon a plaster figure will be
cast and then clothed in the costume
of the native represented. The figures
will not be shown merely standing up
but groups will be designed showing
the mode of life and occupation of the
different races.-New York World.

osTEL OVERFLOW.
GAchita is Worrying Over How
z to Accommodate Delegates
To the Two Republican ConVen-
lions Next Month.
THE CAREY CROWDED.
About 400 More Rooms Tele-
graphed for Than Space.
The KansaSPOlitician MustHave
the Best Always,

WICHITA, Feb. 24-The great problem
now staring the hotel keepers in the face
is how to accommodate the delegates to
the two Republican state conventions to
be held here next month.
Wichita has just as good hotel accom-
modations as any city in the state, but the
two conventions coming together will
tax the hotels to their utmost capacity.
The great trouble with conventions of
this kind is that all the delegates who
come to them want to be in the push and
hence crowd to the hotel where the push
is.
Some men who know very we'll that
they must put a chattal mortgage on the
brindle COW before they como here, are
telegraphing for rooms at the Carey al
ready. Telegraphing three weeks ahead
for rooms is fad peculiar TO Kansas
politicians and it is clever one.
The result of all this telegraphing is
that about 500 rooms are engaged at the
Carey, or about 400 more than the hotel
has.
But they are all booked, and when
the convention day comes and the dele
gates arrive they rush up to the counter
like shot out of cannon and ask:
"Did you get my telegram"
"Yes, sir"
did you save me roOm?"
"Yes, sir, but we are a little crowded
today and l suppose you wouldn't mind
if somebody else was in the room, too"
"Oh, no, not at all. Is there a ire in
itf"
"Yes, sir, steam"
THAT'S better"
Nine chances out of ten the man
doesn't go to bed till o'clock in the
morning and at that time he doesn't care
a rap how many roommates he has. More
than that he will be perfectly satisfied if
there are not more than three in his bed
when he gets there.
There is great interest conferred in
these conventions and especially in the
second days convention, and this -ac-
counts for the fears of the hotel men that
they will not have much room to spare
about their places. They are all engag-
ing outside rooms for the expected over

A Fight May BE Arranged For Corbett
aud FiizslmmOns.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-If Robert Fitzsim-
mons, the new champion pugilist of the
world, and James J. Corbetf, the former
fistic champion, can be prevailed upon
to stop talking at each other. and come
down to solid business, fighting place
and suitable purse can be prom pity
arranged for them before good
club When Fitzsimmons defeated
Maher on Mexican soil near Langtry,
Texas, on Friday last, a representative
of the Associated Press was in
structed to ask Manager Flem-
ing of the National Sporting club here
if that body could be induced to put up
purse for Fitzsimmons and Corbett. The
reply was that under no circumstances
would the National Sporting club snb-
scribe a cent for a contest in which Cor
bett was one of the principals, but it was
added, any other American pugiIist
might apply with fair prospects of ar
ranging match.
The objection to Corbett is based on the
very bitter tongue lashing he gave the
National Sporting club when he
returned to the United States
after his appearance here. The
members of that club claimed that they
had treated Corbett with every consider
alton and that he repaid their kindness
by abusing them to the utmost.
The Associated Press representative
was then notified to call upon Secretary
Stevens of the Boiling broke club and
eventually placed the matter before that
gentleman. After some elaboration
and consultation with his organization,
Mr.. Stevens said that the Boiling
broke club would give purse
of $4,000 for Fitzsimmons and
Corbett to compete for and that the
club would also allow the contestants
$500 each for expensas. These are, it is
understood absolutely the best terms OBJ
tainable here and it is hoped the offer
will be promptly accepted refused.
The fairest treatment possible will be
given both men and it will be a case of
'may the best man win"
Should Fitzsimmons refuse this offer,
or fail to accept it with the promptness
desired by his we'll wishers. Frank
Slevin stands ready to meet Corbett
before the Bolingbroke club. Slavin
already has an offer in Sporting Life to
meet Fitzsimmons for $4,000 side, the
fight to come off in England, or he will
bet $4,000 that he can stop Corbett in
six rounds. In the circumstances there
seems to be no obstacle in the way of
bringing Fitzsimmons and Corbett to-
gether in a ring here for a fair
purse. The purse offered is not SO large
as :he purses offered in America but the
expenses of the pugilists will be sosmall
comparatively, TO compensate for diff
ference in the size of the purse.
The replies of Fitzsimmons and Cor
bett are now awaited by Secre..-y
Stevens of the Bolingbroke club.
