Ricycllsts, Day at rrenton

Bicycle riders for fifty miles around
Trenton are becoming very much excited
about "Wheelmen's Day" at the Inter-
State Fair. The day is given up to
bicycle races, so far as the race-track is
concerned. Unlike local affairs of a
similar kind, this is one of the League of
American Wheelman's National Circuit
race meets. A thousand. dollars in prizes
is offered for speed. There are five
amateur events and two profet sional
events-both of which will undoubtedly
be hotly contested by the famous crack
riders of the country.
AS a part of the general amusement
programme Lee Richardson, who holds
the worlds championship for swiftest
half-mile backwards, will give an exhibit
ton OF fancy trick riding, while the
Horseless Wagon will be demonstrated
to be a success. Wheelmen's Day comes
on the first day. The dates are Septem.
Der 2Sth to October I'd.

A WORD OFTHE DRESS STUFFS
Ouieter effects prevail this
season-not an absence of
color, by any means, but an
absence of large designs. The
whole gamut of rough stuffs
is run-the weaver showing
his Difference to the tailor by
producing fabrics that will
closely follow the contours of
the wearer. This is noticeable
in the great family of cheviots,
the cheviot beauty left, but
the h%ummocky thickness re-
drced. Sac de Rasin and the
Potato-bag weaves exemplify
this. Broadclotlls and the

A New Minute by Paaerewsk,,

Ignace Paderewski has written a new
minute for the piano, which he has dedi-
Gated to his American admirers and given
the significant name of "Menuet Mod
erne." He regards the new composition
as his best, and believes that it will meet
with greater popular favor than his
"Menuet a L'Antique," written in 1888
of which over seven million copies were
sold in a single year. 1t is the first min.
net written by Paderewski since Clan
tique, "and was composed by the famous
pianist expressly for The Ladies' Home
Journal, and will appear in the October

So eminent and unbiased an authority
as the New York Sun still insists that
the large sale of bonds by the present
Administration wss to furnish money to
pay the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment because of a lack of revenue, in
stead of for the purpose of maintaining
the gold reserve in the Treasury, as
claimed. This is a fact that needs to be
kept in the public mind, because it is one
of the strongest arguments for the restor
alton of the true American protective
policy. With a revenue adequate to the
needs of the government, no more bonds
need be sold, and then the free silver
advocates would be robbed of one of
their chief arguments. The mills, and
not the mints, as Major Mckinley says,
is what we want opened.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. The ecram-
Bile among local banks and other finan-
cial institutions to subscribe for the
bonds which will DO sold by the United
States Government for gold, with which
to replenish the Treasury gold reserve,
promises to exceed that for the last
issue. The applications already re-
ceivsd from Baltimore National Banks
amount, in the aggregate, it is said, to
about 81, 5000 600. This does not include
the applications of savings banks, trust
companies and individuals.
Messrs. Alexander. Brown & Sons, it
is said, will also bid for round amount,
probably 81 900 600 II ia estimated
that the Baltimore National Bank holds
about $4,000 OC0 in gold, and that they
could conveniently spare $500. 900 Of
this amount. Besides the holdings Of
the national banks. the savings institu-
lions and trust companies also have q
large stock OF the precious metal on
hand which they would gladly ex-
change for Government bonds.

Silver Advocates Will Insist on an
Amendment to the Bond Bill Provid-
Ing for FREQ Coinage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The Senate
finance committee met to-day and ad-
journed at 1890 until tomorrow. No
action was taksn and no vote WAS had
Tho bond bill WAS discussed, but the
tariff bill was not taken up. Senators
White and Wolcots and Vest were not
present, 80 that the free silver men and
the antt-silver mon were tie. After
tho regular meeting Of the committee
the Republican members held o con-
ference in the committee room and the
Democrats conferred in the distric
committee room. Senator Jones (Pop.
New went with the Democrats, as the
conference was considered silver con-
ference more than anything else.
The conference Of the silver advocates
resulted In unanimous decision to In
Bist upon an amendment in the nature
OF substitute providing for FREQ COIN
sge and the elimination Of all authority
for the issuance of honda. Senator
Jones, OF Arkansas, was delegated to
prepare measure In acc 1rdance with
these views, to be submitted TO a full
meeting Of the committee BIS soon as It
can be completed. There is hope that
the bill can re ceiye final consideration
at the hands of the committee in time
to permit reporting to the Senate to-
morrow, but this may not be accom-
pltshed. The absentees will BIO paired
when q vote is reached in committee.
The Democratic and oliver members
concluded their conference before 9
O'Clock, but the Republican anti-free
coinage continued theirs during the
afternoon. 1t is quite definitely de-
termined, however. that they will make
minority report and it is more than
probable that they will endorse the
House bill without amendment The
majority Of the Republicans will oppose
the reporting of the substitute bill to-
morrow, but will ssk that the report be
postponed until Tuesday next.
