II George Clarke will not vote
for either Bailey or Mills or Hogg,
for whom will his vote be cast? He
will support some one who will
vote for one of the three, and he
can hardly help himself unless he
remains at home when the day of
election comes. Either this or he
will scratch his ticket.

The difference in the administra-
ton of the republican party and
that of the democratic is very
forcibly seen in this: During the
last republican administration the
public debt was reduced 1896, 000,-
600; during the present democratic
administration the public debt has
increased $780, 100000. There is q
volume of suggestion in these fig
ures. Add the two sums and you
see how much more it costs. to run
the country under one term Of de-
mocracy than one term Of republi-
canism. Cleveland's term is not
concluded, hut at the present rate
the difference against him, as COM
pared with Harrison, is over $780,,
OO0, 900. -...'..~

1t is a good time to change the

stream will flow smoothly this fall.

gulf port of this state. To a gov

IN CYCLEDOM.

San Francisco municipal officers have
decreed that no bicycle rider shall carry
on his wheel child under six years of
age.
Cycles are used in large numbers in
johannesburg, South Africa 1t is said
there are 1000 in use by all classes in
that place.
Arthur Zimmerman, the champion
racer, announces that he will not ride
this year except for pastime, having
accepted a position as cycling editor on
city paper.
Washington leads all the cities in this
country in bicyle riding, on account of
it's excellent streets. In fact, it might
be said with truth thateverybody rides,
young and old, rich and poor.
A new use for the bicycle has been
discovered in the New York state re-
formatory at Elmira, which is much
commended by the general superintend-
ent. The captain of the watch makes
his rounds within the prison proper
through the main corridors on a cycle.
!, All hopes of getting any satisfaction
for the murder in Armenia of Lenz, the
American bicycle tourist, have been
abandoned. The apathy of the Turkish
officials, or their open opposition, has
hampered inquiry until the American
investigators have left in despair.

FAMOUS HOTEL CLOSED.
The Brunswick of Now York City
Unable to Stand Competition.
Was Once the Most Popular and Fas hion-
eble Stopping Place in New York
Story OF the Cause of
Its LccIIne.

The famous old Hotel Brunswick Of
New York city has been closed, and it
is more than likely that it will be dis
mantled. Josiah ii. Baker, who was
appointed receiver of the hotel on jan
nary p, after u struggle to compete
with the newer houses has given up
the contest and has announced that it
would be impossible to keep the house
open any longer.
The lletel brunswick is one of the
most famous hotels that the city has
ever had. In 1872 james Mitchell, one
OF the proprietors of the Hoffman
house, and Francis Kinzler, then at
the head of the culinary department of
that hotel. conceived the idea of maxi
lag a hotel that should eclipse any
in the city. Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. KIM
Ter had jointly about 100000. The old
Hotel Brunswick was selected, and ar
rangements made for transforming it
lrto the greatest hQtel OF the time.
Ina extending and equpping the hotel
S3o0,O0o were expended. The bar and
cafe became famous at once, and the
furnishings and decorations of the
dining and bathrooms were greatly adj.
mired. For q time the place was pop
nlar with society people. and many
foreigners stopped there. Many fash
ionable balls, etc., Were given there,
and Mitchell & Kinzler were rated at
100000 by Bradstreet's.
One evening, when the rejuvenated
hotel was IN the full flush of prosperity,
mild-mannered man of ministerial
appearance entered and engaged the
lower ballroom floor for a "select party
of friends" AT two o'clock a. m. 30
coaches arrived. They We're crowded
with women, young and old, in decol-
lette costumes, who blew tin horns,
smoked cigarettes and otherwise acted
boisterouslY. The mild-mannered man
appeared with the select party" and,
announcing himself as BILLY" Me-
Glory 1.-THE then notorious concert hall
keeper). said that nothing was too good
for him and his friends. An offer of
$4,000, 1T is said, was made to McGlory
to take his party away, but he declined,
The unwelcome guests remained at the
1880 1tt 'pAitieS any theH stFeaIueu
poisterously through Fifth avenue
toward their homes In the cast side
slums. With their departure the pros
perity of the Brunswick began to wane.
Every effort was made to regain lost
ground, but other hotels We're opened
and business divided.
There is nothing to be learned about
the probable disposition of the graund.
The site, facing, as it does, Fifth avenue
and Madison square, is an excellent one
for hotel, and it is limited that new
hotel may be built upon it to compete
with the Waldorf, the Holland house
and other new hotels that have done
much to bring about the downfall OF
the old-time house.

"BlcYcLE HAND" NOW EPIDEMIC
Many Sufferers from This Newest Of
Wheelmcn's Ills

II man in street car drops the
change which the conductor hands
him, if the clerk makes bad scrawl in
his writing, or if glass of water sud-
denly falls from a guests lips in a
restaurant, don't stare, it Is merely the
bicycle hand"
This latest complaint inflicted by
Dame Natare on those addicted to the
excessive use of the wheel is RAPIDLY
assuming astonishing proportions in
Chicago. Especially since the season
for country riding has opened is the
prevalence of the trouble becoming
more marked. Everywhcre people are
complaining of the Inconvenience, but
few know the cause.
In the middle of the palm, close to the
wrist, the nerves pass on their way to
the fingers. A blow at this point will
set the two smaller fingers tingling as
If the crazy bone" OF the elbow were
struck 1t Is at this point. which pugi-
lists call the "heel" of the hand, that
the end of the handlebar rests in rid
ing. Consequently the Jolt and lar of
a rough road keep striking success
sion OF blows on the nerves, ultimately
producing tingling and numbness as
# the fingers were asleep" This effect
often lasts for days after hard ride
and causes all manner of Inconvenience
and some degree Of pain to the unfor-
tunate rider.
The causes are: Rough roads, fast
riding, initiating front tire too tightly,
putting the handlebars too low so that
too much weight is thrown upon them,
NIL coasting and taking bad grip of
the handles.
The remedies ore, Seftening the front
ure, raising handlebars. riding slower
and less, and taking hold of the handles
properly, This last is the best solu.
ton Of the difficulty, since if the weight
comes upon the padded portion of the
hands there will be little danger of the
complaint occurring.
