Many inventions followed the Tyer
skate. Mr.. Plimpton has more than 500
different skates upon wheels in his mu-
scum which tell the tale of an immense
amount Of thought labor and money be-
slowed upon the absorbing subject of sup
plying to the skating fraternity q suitable
rolling skate of scientific pretensions and
practical value. No doubt thousands Of
strenuous efforts were made by great In .
ventors to produce what was required for
the skater, but after thousands Of attempts
and the production Of some of the most
ridiculous results the perfect Plimpton
roller skate entered the arena, and, to the
surprise of the skater, met his require
ments to the letter.. 1t is patented as a
Equitable skate, " the principle patent hav-
ing been procured upon the rocking foot
plate which guides the wheels by cramping
them by the motion of the foot which rests
upon the skate either to the right or the
left, Just as tho forward wheels Of wagon
are cramped by moving the axle. This is
principle, and a principle alone could not
be patented, but the application Of that
principle to the roller skate was patented
in all parts of the world. This is great
patent, for it is impossible to make a skate
which will be "guidable" without the
rocking footplate.
The only difference Of Importance be-
tween roller and ice skating Is in move
ments in which the skater turns from for
ward to backward and in the performance
of the "spins." These movements are dono
generally upon the center of the skate on
the ice, while in roller skating the turns
must be done upon heel or toe. Roller
skating is much easier to learn than Ice
skating, but the ice skater must femem-
Der that the rollers are mechanical. The
best ice skaters have frequently fallen in
the very first steps upon the rollers when
refusing to heed the warning to walk first
in order to get the "feel" of the skate and
learn that when q circle is struck on the
roller skate there is no forcing the curve
and the skater will come around to where
he started the circle, just as certainly as If
that circle were struck with a pair of d.
viders.' For this reason the movements
may be done with more precision on roll
ers than on the ice skate. Another advan-
tage Of the roller over the ice skate is that
the skating surface is always ready and
does not depend either upon the season or
the flckleness of the weather.
The first steps upon the rollers should
be walking, with the toes we'll turned out,
which position will give support and re-
sistance. After thus walking carefully sew
eral times around the room the beginner
may glide slowly and carefully to right
and left and then part Of circle gradually
increased until graceful roll, while sup
ported by a companion, may be acquired
in the first lesson. After this all the move
ments known to ice skating may be done
on the rollers with as much grace and less
fear of falling than upon the ice.

The Pacing King at Home.

Robert J is a neat, compactly built bay
gelding, standing Is hands high and weigh
ing $50 pounds. He has an exceedingly
intelligent head, very broad between the
eyes, and his eyes are the perfection of
gentleness, says Outing. John Eassley, his
good natured colored groom, is completely
in love with him, and the horse is as fond
Of him as he is Of the horse. He has his
little cot in the stall, and for the last three
years has slept with him every night. Rob-
ert j is an early riser and is as fastidious
as to the regularity Of his toilet and his
breakfast as the biggest swell of clubdom.
If, in the early morning, the groom does
not awake, Robert begins to "nose"
around the cot III very gentle manner. II
no notice is taken, he becomes more marked
in his movements, and finally, if the groom
persists in sleeping, he gently but firmly
seizes the coverlids of the cot with his teeth
and pulls them off. Resistance is useless
then, and the groom at once rises and at
tends to the duties of his Office.

Recently published vital statistics OF

berger was paced by a quadruplet and the
time was taken by experienced handlers Of
stop watches the record will doubtless be
allowed. The following day Dirnberger
covered two miles in minutes 81 As Sec

Dirnberger is described by an admirer as
"a strawberry blond of great good nature
combined with fighting qualities. He is
about 20 years Of age, is feet 8 inches
tall, weighs 1866 pounds and does not
smoke nor drink. Over year ago he pre-
dicted that mile in minute IS seconds

speed of minute 40 seconds might be
reached this year.

Walking boots for wear with CLOTH

Like Richard of DID, Mike Dirnberger

seems little more than himself, for the
reason that he recently rode one and two
miles in much better time than he was
capable Of in 1898, when he and little J..

ing numerous new records between 100
yards and two miles, In that year Dirn-
berger, paced by a running horse, rode a
flying mile in minute 81 seconds, which
was then the fastest mile ever ridden on a
wheel. He also held several worlds rec
ords for shorter distances, and during the
year demonstrated that he was one of the
best competition riders in America by de-
feating Bald, johnson and nearly every
other racing man Of note in America, Tim

A PcSth0use Pint

KANSAS CITY, Kas., March 20. - The
health officers Of this city experienced a
riot today at Grand View, a suburb lying
west of the city. They leased tract Of
land near Grand View upon which to build
a pesthouse to shelter two smallpox pa
tients. This morning several wagon loads
of lumber and big force of carpenters
we're dispatshed to the tract to begin the
work. Soon after the arrival at Grand
View the residents of the suburb began to
assemble in neighboring field. After the
carpenters had erected the framework of
the building the mob of 200 people bore
down upon their proposed pesthouse.
Many of the men were armed with guns.
They were urged on by a number of
women. The carpenters obeyed the orders
of the leader to stand aside. The mob of
angry citizens then attacked the building,
razed the framework, tearing the timbers
piece by piece, and scattered the lumber
over ten-acre field. The carpenters and
teamsters were told to return to the city,
and they did so. Tonight the health au-
thorities are looking for another site for
their pesthouse.

Outlaws Conceal Treasure Which VIII Take

Outlaws Conceal Treasure Which VIII Take
the Finder Rich
SALINAS, Kas.. March 29.-People living
in and around the little town of Hope, in
Dickinson county, are considerably excited
over the belief that great treasure is hid
den in cave in that vicinity.
Thirty years ago settler living in Nor
sick stranger, who, when near to death,
told them that he was the last of a gang of
outlaws who for several years had infested
the Santa Fe trail, west from Council
Grove. In return for the kindness of the
family the man conflded to them that a
large treasure OF money was hidden in a
cave at the head of Turkey creek and that
he alone knew of its location. just before
his death he made an elaborate chart of
the cave showing just where the treasure
was hidden.
The man to whom the drawing was given
went at once to the head of Turkey creek. i.
near where the town of Hope now stands,
who still lives on the creek, made
a careful search but failed to find a
cave. Five years later a Michigan colony
settled along Turkey Creek valley. One
day herder tracked a wolf to the head of
the creek hidden in dense growth of
brush and vines. The Michigan people
knew nothing of the cave story and Mark

been visited but seldom.
Recently the tract was bought by A. Hem
quent. who proceeded to prospect in and
around the cave for gypsum. 1t was then
that Jack Markley heard Of its discovery
and recalled the treasure story.
Mr.. Henquent became interested and
made trip to Morris county to look for
the man with the drawing. He had long
since died but hia widow waa LIVING and
told them that the chart was in the posses
aion of a married daughter who lives in
California. Steps were at once taken to
secure 1t but it has not yet arrived. 1t is
recalled that thirty-five years ago the hill
country at the head of Turkey creek was
the rendezvous for a gang of desperadoes
who terrorised and plundered the settlers
and travellers. Later on the gang was
broken up by the United States troops
