CYCLING NOTES.

Bicycles that are too cheap seem to be ex-
pensive luxuries.
Only two per cent. OF the accidents in tho
highways and streets OF Great Britain came
from bicycling.
DR.. James P. Cooke, of Boston, though
blind, Is one of the most enthusiastic bicy-
Gle riders. He rides a duplicate with Mrs.
Cooke.
When Linton, the professional bieyclist
was buried in London the other day. his
bicycle draped in black was led behind the
hearse.
Many bicycles have been stolen in Brook
Ign since the year opened. and the question
arises, Did the Beitord-Brooklyn bicycle
burglary gang get any of them?
In several villages and small towns near
New York City there is something of a cru
SADIE going on to prevent bicycle-riders from
making use of sidepaths and sidewalks.
A man who rises to the defence ofbicycIinn
says: 1.-The woman who neglects home and
babies for cycling would neglect them any
way The fault is with the woman, not the
wheel"
Even to the farlhest eastern part OF the
world the bicycle has found its way. A
bicycle clcb has been formed at Vladivostolz,
which is the end station of the great Siberian
railway.
Wheelmen of Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
are required by new ordinance to ring q
bell fifty feet from q pedestrian they desire
to pass and to slacken speed, under penalty
Of arrest.
Women bicycle riders will no longer be al
lowed to obtain accident policies. The ac-
ctdent insurance companies of New York
have been issuing policies to women riders,
but have discontinued+ this practice.
It has been rumored that the bicycle trust
will raise the price of the high grade wheel
to Sl25. The rumor Is believed to be with.
out foundation, but dealers in the high
grade wheel say that it could be successfully
done.
Some inventors persist in trying to make a
bicycle that can be operated with motor,
and such machines have already made their
appearance. Why ingenuity should be en-
ployed in this way is not apparent TO the
ordinary oyclist, to whom the exercise he
gets on his wheel is one OF its most potent
attractions
A Hillsboro (Oregon) man owes moro to
MS bicycle than he ever thought he would.
he missed the train that was to take him to

Dethought him of his wheel, which he
mounted, and scorched to such effect that he
arrived Just in time to cheer the dropping
spirits OF q willing bride.

No DelusiOn After All.

From what l. related IN the Berliner
Tagblatt il seems that the ROentgen
rays have Just rendered signal service
to a poor fellow who, during more
than four wears, has been confined IN
lunatic asylum under the erroneous
conviction that he was mad. We read
that the person, II cooks assist
ant at Hamburg, having some
years ago been arrested for a trivial
offence, his disgrace so preyed upon
his mind that he tried TO put an END 10
his life by means of n revolver. Con
veyed to the hospital he was dis
charged at the expiration OF a lew
weeks as cured; but he soon returned,
complaining of excruciatlng pains IN
his head, and affirming he had pui-
let in it. Medical men ridiculed the
notion as absurd, and as he continu-
ally repeated his statement, he was III
timately declared to be insane and
locked up in a mad house. For over
four years he remained in the asylum,
maintaining during the whole time
his conviction that he had bullet IN
his head. Finally, reminded by the
chaplain of the asylum that If lie
wished to recover his liberty he must
say 10 more about his bullet, which
doctors believed TO be myth, he
ceased from insisting on the point,
and was consequently permitted
to leave the mad house, with, how
ever, warming that, should his 'iixed
idea" ever again take possession OF his
mind, he would be forthwith again
placed under restraint. Immediately
after his release, according to the
Tagblatt, he went to Berlin, and got
well-known doctor, who had heard
of his case, to examine his head by
means of Roentgen rays. The result
of this inspection, it is stated, was to
confirm the truth of the poor fellow
story. The buAeti the presence OF
which no one would believe, was dis
lowered embedded in the shell i'm
mediately above the right eye, and
what had been considered As a lunatlc s
"fxed idea' was thus proved to be a
fact beyond dispute. London Stand

The dervishes have lost nothing of

floht with logged determination in
the face of our deadly volley fire they
fought on with rifle and spear and

each wounded dervish, as he lay
bleeding to death on the ground, was
a dangerous and treacherous foe until
he had breathed his last; they even
did what some authorities denied that
any troops, however brave, would
ever do---they stood in groups firing
steadily into our ranks while our
Maxim guns poured their streams OF
bullets on them, moving them down
like grass.

the world would have stood, as these
men stood, for nearly two hours,
against such fearful odds as were OPP
posed to them. But, if one may judge
from this fight, the deryishes have
changed their old tactics; they have
to a great extent abandoned the reck

her. She understands their suffering,
and has the power to relieve and cure.
In nearly all cases the source of
women's suffering is in the womb.
In many cases the .nale physician does
not understand the case and treats the
patient for consumption-indigestion
anything but the right thing.
1t is under such circumstances that
thousands of women have turned to
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, and
opened their heart and lives-wOman
to woman-and received her help.
You ask how she can tell if the doctor
cannot? Because no man living ever
treated SO many cases and possesses
such vast eXpel fence.
Displacement, inflammation, torpid
action, stagnation, sends to all parts
of the body the pains that crush you.

Compound is the sure cure for this
trouble. For twenty years it has done
its grand work and cured thousands.

that the Act made prostitutes or

At the Lyceum Dec. 4 and 5.
Perhaps the most pronounced
and with all beneficial transition
made in the annals of thea trica1
history of America was the &C.
ceptance of the school of acting
in which intellectually and re-
6nement reign supreme as ex-
pounded by Edwin Booth in
reference to the followers OF the
actings of Edwin Forest who
ruled by force of a genius SUBJ
merged by artifice. Mr.. White
side has followed closely that
school of acting on which Mr..
Edwin Booth was such an able
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-12-05

exponent and in which it's ad-
herents study nature and place
naturalness paramount in the
art of acting. 1t is perhaps on
this account that Mr.. Whiteside
has been hailed as the coming
legitimate successor of Mr..
Booth. One of Mr.. Whiteside's
most distinguished tributes is
his simplicity of treatment of
character which is singular1y
prominent in his portrayal of
Hamlet. Mr.. Whiteside's Ham
let is poetic. The character
which he represents is a dark,
melancholy, fascinating, dream
ing hero of a poem, he handles
the subject as near akin to the
ideal as possible, removed from
actual life, and with all within
the bounds of natura1ness. There
is an indescribable charm about
the character of Hamlet which
fescinates by it's own personality
and no one who does not possess
this peculiar power of fascina~
ton so often described as "mag-
netism" can hope to attain the
pinnacle of fame in this role.
That Mr.. Whiteside has been
conceded by all the eminent crit
iques OF America to be the ideal
Hamlet now before the Ameri-
can public is really not to be
wondered at, aside from his fas-
cinating personality he is a
Hamlet to the manor b0rn'
endowed with slender figure

My Dear Sir:-I thank you for
your letter of this date. I en-
joyed being with the members
of organized labor in Duluth on
Labor Day, and speaking to
them, I greatly appreciated
the opportunity of talking to
you and the welcome and hear
ing you gave me. / assure you
/ have nothing but satisfaction
with your arrangements, for
with all that was going on
on the grounds and the
great crowd present, | do
not see how you could con-
vicinity have bettered things.
AS to what you say about my
defeat of course I am disap-
pointed, personally and other
wise. l am not sorry, however,
to have taken the stand [ did.
While defeat is perhaps a per-
sonal loss to me, it is not that
which is to be most regretted.
I regret that | shall not be in a
position in congress where |
could talk for the cause 50 near
to me and, / believe, which so
greatly concerns the great mass
of the people. The cause is
not lost, it is not dead. Defeat
cannot be final, for we are right.
Duty remains to us. That duty
is to take up the work of educa-
ting the people, so that when
the questions at issue in the
late campaign are again sub
mitted to the arbitrament of the
voters we shall win a magnifi-
cent victory. The cause is only
strengthened by the recent
combat.

GREAT NORTHERN RECONSIDERS
THE MATTER OF REDUCING
DULUTH RATE.
RAILWAY CIRCLES DISTURBED.
REPRESENTATIVES, OF THE INTER-
ESTED LINES MANAGED TO
~ GET TOGETHER.
WILL NOT PROSECUTE SAUNDERS.
DefaIcation of the Former Agent
at LangdOn Has Been Made
Good.

The slash in rates between st! Paul and Du-
luth which the Eastern Minnesota contem-
plated putting into effect today has been, for
the present, at least, called off, and today
passengers will pay the regular fare-s4 80
the same as usual, no matter upon which road
they travel.
That the Great Northern was sincere in its
determination to reduce the rate as mentioned
in this Column yesterday lis best shown by
the fact that circulars were prepared, and In
many cases sent out to the companys agents,
and, further than that, copy of the new rate
sheet has been forwarded to the interstate
commerce commission.
The simple notice of the intended reduction.
sent to competitors, and supplemented by
the notice published in the papers, had the
effect of stirring UP quite a little excitement
yesterday. 1t is rumoreds that the dignified
heads of the interested lines got together, and
whatever was said and done, the result is
that the Great Northern was asked to recon
slider its determination.
1t Is even alleged that there were admis-
sions of slight deviations from the tariff. but
with the good-natured understanding on all
hands that the beginning Of the Spring bust
ness should not be marked by anything less
than card figures, the necessity for any reduc-
tion was considered eliminated. Thus in
spite of the published reports that this line or
that line ''had declared late in the afternoon
that 1t would meet the cut" or that ''the
liveltest rate war which had occurred In the
Northwest for some time has been precipi-
tated." the whole matter was closed to the
satisfaction of the interested lines, and not
late in the afternoon, either.
