GREAT WORLDS RECORD
Made By Plucky Teddy" Hale the Irish
 man Champion Cycler

Made By Plucky Teddy" Hale, the Irish man Champion Cyeler. New oYrk, Dec Hone minute after 8 o'clock tonight Teddy Hale, the Irish hero of the six days bicycle race at Mad ison Square Garden, passed the previous record for six days made by Shock in 1S93-sixtesn hundred miles-by four laps and twenty-five hours and fifty-nine min utes to the good. He not only broke the records himself but forced the six men following Cn his track to break the pre- vious best record for 116 hours-1,457 miles, eight laps. Hale was sprinting miles in 2:24 at o'clock this evening, and appeared so fresh and well that he is, looked upon as the winner of the con- test.
 The battle for second honors was waged again today between Foster and Rice. At noon the Dutchman had a bit the bet ter of the Wilkesbarre boy and led him by few miles, but later on Rice had rsgained the lead. For a time it looked as if Rice's weakened frame would scarcely support his wonderful pluck. He was very weak al times and the strain was. making him irritable. He was poorly handled up to last night, when "Pete' Golden, the old timer who was hired by the committee of Wilkesbarre citizens to look after the man whose do- ings are filling the Pennsylvania town with admiration Golden humored the wearied rider in great shape, and in the evening Rice was going much better, though still weak. The pace was telling on Foster also. and he went off pretty frequently during the day.
 Reading, Shock, Smith Taylor, Moore and Pierce kept in about the same posi- tions after the leaders all day. Ashinger, Maddox and Cassidy made the third di- vision, about forty miles miles behind Pierce, while of the other four Cannon and Mcleod are likely to get the tail end of the eleven prizes if they keep on at the same rate
 A tremendous burst of applause greet ed Hale when the announcement was made at o'clock that he had broken the six day record. The band struck up Irish airs and pandemonlum reignad for a few minutes. There were fully 5000 people in the garden at the time and the crowd kept pouring in until about 10 o'clock, when between 5000 and 10000 yern nrpSant.

SIGHED FOR HIS HOME.
A Cherokee Stranger Reaches the City Penniless With Two Babes in His
 Charge.

Among the arrivals in the city yester- day was a man about 2S years old, having in his charge two infant children. He said he hailed from Cherokee county and his purpose is to go to Texas. That he lost his wife several months ago and as he was in needy circumstances had concluded to work his way to relatives in the west who are well-to-do.
 It was evidently his first visit to the city and he was as much at sea as if, he had landed on Crusoes island. He had just money enough to pay his rall- road fare to this city, and when the cops eye fell upon him and sized him up, he advised the stranger to carry the babes to the Mercy Home and lookout after work
 The stranger said he was able and wanted to work but did not know where or how to get it.
 Night was coming on, and being in formed that bunking on the streets and steps is a back number in Birmingham, the poor fellow began to realize the change in his situation. He doubtless thought of his once happy cabin in old Cherokee, where the rustic of the pines and the song of the whipporwill was en- chanting music to welcome the moon beams and the lark sang her first notes at the break of day; where no cops Strolled the highways and where one is ct liberty to warm himself in the sunbeams or draw the warm mantle of the blue sky around him and slumber unmolested in the full glare of the man in the moon Perceivng his situation he plead pite- ously for a place to hide his head.
 The captain finally consented to allow him to nod at headquarters under the promise that he would seek work on the morrow and provide for those children and not allow them to remain on the charity of the good women of the city.

 They eat their food without relish, sleep without refreshment and worry along day by day half sick, but refusing to believe it.
 These women who are farther along in poor health than they think, are the very persons who would find an aston ishing help in Paines celery compound. It's regulating action on their tangled nerves, and it's re-vivifying action upon digestion and assimilation are just what their system is in need of. Why should any one not try it?

MAY NEVER BE TRIED.
Fifth Victim of a Negro Who Butchered
 a Family, Dies of Her Wounds.

Famlly, DleS or Her WOundS.
 New Orleans, Dec. 11.--AIiss Lizzie Mill Ter, one of the victims of John Johnson, the negro who butchered the Cotton fam fly near Tickafaw, in Tangipahoa parish, two months ago, died this morning at the Tourne infirmary.
 Four persons were killed outright by Johnson and the death of Lizzie Miller brings the number of his victims up to five. Miss Miller was frightfully hacked about the head and body with an axe in the hands of the negro, and although she had lost much blood, there was hope that she might recover and she was brought here where everything known to medical science was done for her, but without avail. She has never been able to tell how she was wounded.
 The negro murderer, Johnson Is still here confined in the parish prison. Court will meet in Tangipahoa in a few weeks, and he will be carried there for trial, but will probably be lynched as soon as he is brought to Amite City.
