NIGHT RAGING.
Bicyclists Go by Electric Light
At New Orleans.
Have a Splendid Fourth Mile
Cement Track.
TWO RECORDS BROKEN
Lawrence, the Trick Rider,
Does Fancy Work.
Zeigler and Gardner Make Phe-
nOmenal Time.
TWO RECORDS BROKEN

New Orleans, June 1.-THE greatest
bicycle races ever held in New Orleans
We're ridden yesterday afternoon and
last night over the smooth surface of
the quarter mile cement track at the
corner Of Carrolton and Tulane ave
nue.. 1t was one of the events of the
national circuit, and among the riders
entered were many Of the fastest men
in the United States.
When the committee decided that ra-
ces should be run at night they at once
made arrangements with the managers
of the Louisiana Electric Light COM
pany for a full supply OF electricity
Thirty-two lights, with refectOrs, were
arranged around the race course, be-
sides a number of lights distributed
over the grounds. There was also a
large search light on the top of the
grand stand and under the manage
ment of q careful and experienced man,
this light was kept upon the riders from
the time they left the starting line to
the finish.
The lights along the back stretch
We're a trifie uncertain, and this seem
ed to frighten the riders, and they lost
courage and would not ride out to a
finish.
During the intermission which came
after each heat of the amateur events,
Lawrence, one Of the famous trick rid
erS gave a remarkable exhibition. He
had some difficulty in riding the high
bank but his exhibition was one of the
best ever Witnessed in the south.
Gardner had formed such high
opinion of the track that he willingly
consented to ride for the mile unpaced,
flying start, mile record. This record
has stood at 2:25 2-5. He was a trifle
uncertain about the lights and it was
due to this anxiety that his attempt
was a failure After a quarter mile
warming up he made the start His
pace was fast, but steady and he rode
close to the edge of the inside limits of
the cement The first quarter was made
in 80 seconds, the half in 1908 the three
quarters in 1:34 10 and the mile in
2:OS Is.
Two worlds records We're broken in
the first two races

sional Otto Zeigler won. Time. 100 2-5,
and worlds record for professional
competition. single paced half mile.
Former record, los 1-6

WHY DID PEOPLE THINK so
That Topeka Was to Grow Clear Out
to Martins Hin.

The West Side Circle railway viii
soon pass into history Workmen are
busy taking up the track on Eleventh
street and that is all that remains of
this suburban railroad.
The West Side Circle was Distinctive
" a boom enterprise. 1t was built in
the days when it was supposed the
limits of Topeka would soon reach four
miles east and west of the present linn
its. Work was commenced at imprOv-
ing Martins hill and boulevards We're
laid out and trees planted between the
city and that place.
A big hotel was to be built on Mar
tins hill, where the wealthy residents
of the city were to spend their sum
mers. Tt was then that the West Side
Circle was built and it was to serve
the purpose of easy and rapid trans
portatiOn to the vicinity Of the Mar
tins hill hotel The hotel never ma
terialized, but the road was operated
nevertheless.
The road was used several years ana
was operated by steam locomotives,
but after the boom had run its course
it never paid operating expenses, for
the people who had been caught and
had settled far out along the line Of the
road began to move to the city.

MATSON is MARRIED
And is Now Living in a Handsome
Home in San Diego.

Albert NEatson. husband of the wo-
man who was so cruelty murdered in
Topeka a little more than a year ago,
has been married and is living in a
beautiful house in San Diego. Cal "A
Topeka lady saw him and his wife at
their home while visiting in San Diego
The bride was a Miss Robertson and is
said to be a young woman Of 25 with
q rather pretty face.
Mr.. MatsOn sold the Saline county
farm of 200 acres which belonged to his
former wife soon after he was given
charge of the property. The Topeka
property is still owned by him, but is
not considered valuable.
After Mrs. Matson's murder an at
tempt was made to find a viii which
she was supposed to have made, hut
the viii was never discovered When
Novels was arrested charged with the
murder he told q story about a box of
papers which had been taken from the
MatsOn house and turned over to a
c0lOred woman. The woman was found
but the papers were not. and the prep
erty which was supposed to have been
willed to other relatives went to the
husband Of the murdered woman, with
whom she had not lived for many years.

SILVER SUGGESTION.
supt Kretz Would Retire Paper Cur
rency Under Five Dollars.

Washington, June 17.-Major Herman
Kratz, superintendent of the Phiadel-
phia mint, is in Washington and talk
ed about free silver. Among other
things Mr.. Kretz said:
There is another problem about free
silver coinage which does not seem to
be considered. Should a free coinage
law be enacted, we would have to equip
about a dozen new minis. Our present
facilities would not be adequate to coin
the silver now in sight in five years.
L think a good way to increase the
coinage of silver would be to retire all
paper currency under So. That would
put millions more of silver in circula-
ton"

DEATH OF BISHOP HAYGooD.

In the death of Bishop Haygood one
of the strongest men in the South
passed away. His individuality i'm
pressed itself upon the religious and
educational thought of his country in
a lasting manner. He was an original
thinker and a brave explorer. He was
among the first presidents of Southern
colleges to obtain large gifts from
wealthy Northern men. He brought
Emory college into the front ranks.
The young men he trained in college
almost idolized him and he never lost
the intellectual and moral mastery
over them.
He was about the first great South
ern preacher to understand the negro
question. His book ''The Brother in
Black" was one of the most striking
books of generatiori-vigo new,
broad and brave. 1t had a strong in
fiuence upon the leader of thought in
Georgia, impressing deeply and broad
ening the views of such men as Henry
Grady and Hoke Smith. This book
made him a national figure, and gave
him great influence throughout the
entire country. AS agent for the
Slater fund he was instrumental in
doing great things for the education
of the ngro. He saw no solution of
the negro outside of his education
and eyangelization, and his speeches
and writings created a healthy public
sentiment that peryades the whole
educational world.
AS Bishop, DIR. Haygood was among
the first, but he brought more honor
TO the Office than it gave him.
A great man and leader in Israel
has fallen.

A VOICE OF HOPE AND ENCOUR-
AGEMENT.

Tom Watson, of Georgia, says that
the socialists in the Populist party
are irving to drive him and men of
his thinking TO the wall just as they
drove Dunning and the National
Watchman. He says that it is not his
purpose, and never was, ito substitute
socialism for Democratic Republican
ism and he "will have nothing to do
with any lot of extremists who make
war on private property" Mr.. Watson
inveighs strongly against the steal
thy approaches which the socialists
are making to secure control of the
Peoples party and it's newspapers. J"
He shows that the socialists have
thought Ito push the Peoples party
further and further. slyly but reso-
Iutely, until they got it committed to
their own radical and vicious doc
trines. Perhaps they win succeed"
The Georgia Populist leader says he
is a .Ieffersonian Democrat, has meant
10 do all he could ito restore the gov
eminent to its original landmarks,
has won his spurs battling for re-
stored and purified Democratic repub-
lie" that the government of Wash
ington and jefferson and jackson is
good enough" for him, and he means
Ito open the eyes of the people 10 the
stealthy approaches which the social.
lists are making to secure control of the
Peoples party and its newspapers"
This ringing denunciation of social
ism by Mr.. Watson is the most encour
aging voice of the new year. Many Of
those, not Populists, who are battling
for "a restored and purified Democratic
republic" have watched with aston
ishment, pain and sorrow 1.-The steal
thy approaches of socialism. They
have seen their neighbors and kins
1nen being led, 'slyly but resolutely
from one extreme to another unit
they were ready to follow even CoXey
bir self in his raid upon private prop
ertv and his attempted destruction o
the Original landmarks" Since 1895
there has been no socialism too sweep
ing. no radicalism too extreme, ~
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-01-21

Replying to our demand that the
Popuist papers should give the name
of the Democrat or Democrats who
put through the assignment act" or
shut up, the Progressive Farmer says
it was misunderstood. 1t says it has
never said it could name the man or
men who were responsible for the
crime. 1t only thinks Democrats
might have done it, either to get pay
or to bring reproach on the Legisla-
ture. If the officers of the Legislature
all Fusionists, would permit any men
TO put an act on the statute books that
never passed, either for pay or to bring
reproach on the Legislature, they
were too corrupt or too incompetent
to be defended by the Progressive Far
mer or any other newspaper.
