INTERC|Tf CYCLE RACES
Series Between Baltimore and
Washington.
WILL BE FOR "A TROPHY
Which VIII Govern the
COntests-Capital City Team WIN
Probably Be Selected from bail,
Greer and the Sims Boys-Cantii-
dates In Training.


Arrangements have finally been made
whereby the much disputed point as to
the relative merits of Washington and
Baltimore crack amateurs bicycle riders is
to be settled once for all.
Three men from each city will be Sc
lected and the team winning three out
of five races will win certain prizes.
For some time Division Council Sans, Of
Baltimore, has been trying to make such an
arrangement ana he n.is now gotten mat
tiers in thOroughlyr satisfactory shape
The boys are to race in a series of meets
which will take place in Baltimore and
Washington alternately.
The first OF these meets is to come off
in Baltimore on the Goth OF July under
the auspices of the Park Track and Cycle
Association at the Park cycle track. There
will he five races at this meeting, of which
the intercity race will be the third The
prizes for which this series OF races will be
run are trophy donated by the Baltimore
American and two medals, one to be
raised by subscription at this end and the
other to be supplied by Baltimore
CONDITIONS OF THE MEET.
The conditions under which the trophy
las been given are as follows: In this, the
first year, it is to 60 to the team WIN
ming the best three out of five races For
the next two years it is to be held in trust
by the winning team subject to challenge
by an amateur team from the other city.
Failure TO challenge by the defeated city
in any one year is to be considered vic
tory for the team holding the cup. Winning
the cup three consecutive years will be
title to complete ownership.
A committee consisting of Mesars Get
finger, Stinemetz, Mexican, Cabrera and
Britton, are considering the men who are
to have the honor of defending Washing
tons sclaIm OF championship. The team will
almost certainly be selected from the fol-
lowing four: Fred Sims, George Ball;
Billy Sims and II. X. Greer. Mudd who is
one of the very fastest of the local men, was
considered for time, but the committee
came TO the decision that he was too likely
to lose his nerve In a race.
CONTESTANTS START TRAINING.
The contestants for the honor bega train
Ing today at International Park, and will
continue to train daily until Saturday, when
they will leave for Baltimore. 1t is ex-
pected that n great number of local wheel
men will accompany the team to the Monu-
mental City. Washington wheelmen will
also enter the other two amateur events on
the 25th, and 1t is confidently expected
that they will carry Oft everything in sight.
The names of the Baltimore team have
not been announced, but all Washington
wheeimen agree that Baltimore has no
racers who can ride one, two, three with
our Acra cks.
The second race Of this series will take
place in Washington some time in August
at the International Park. 1t will, per-
haps, be run off at the meet of the Arling
ton Wheelmen which occurs on August 90

tive Of the national Democratic and Con-
gressional committees, has been visiting
tile towns and Indian agencies in this Sec
tion, collecting assessments from govern
ment officials and others for the national

had any authority for the. use of his name
for the collection Of any campaign funds
for any purpose.
Turner collected several hundred dol

larger. The pipe should enter the
pump about 1s inches below its dis
charge spout, and should enter the
tank at the top. Every time the pump
is used there will gallon or more flow
into the tank, depending upon the bore
of the pump, the size of the pipe and
the length of time the pump is used.
The hotter the weather, the more
pumping is done, as rule, and the
cooler the water will be kept in the
tank.
The tank must have an outlet at the
opposite end from which the feed pipe
enters, and little larger than the feed
pipe. This outlet must be about two
inches lower than the top of the cans.
The water should always be little
higher than the milk.
If it is possible to utilize the waste
water for stock it should be done. 1t
will save that much extra pumping. In
our case it is conveyed through an un-
derground pipe (G) into the barn base

horses as needed.
In the diagram, the water enters the
tank through the feed pipe (F). The
overflow escapes through the discharge
pipe (D) into the funnel (C). L is n
faucet for emptying the tank, which we
sometimes find necessary in hot wealth
er, when more water is needed in the
stable. The tank is then retil1ed with
fresh water. In case we wish to pump
direct to the stable, the pipe is closed
at y, i'll the tank, the funnel removed,
and the pipe closed at C. The water is
pumped into a reservoir or trough at A,
and finds its way to the stable through
the underground pipe (G) independent
of the tank. Where this plan can be
adopted it will be found very satisfac-
tory, but can only be used where the
tank is higher than the stable.-ohio

CAPT. MOLLY.
n Woman Who Did the Cause of Frce-
dom Heroic Service.

An old book containing records OF
revolutionary days in New Jersey gives
one or two facts of individual heroism
which, though authentic, are probably
unknown to most readers.
At the battle of Monmouth, farm
er's wife followed her husband, who
was an artilleryman, to the field, and
carried water to him and his comrades,
when they were exhausted, from the
neighboring stream.
Her thin gown being burned by
shell, she put on the coat of an Ameri-
can private soldier and the plumed hat
of a British officer, taking them from
their dead bodies.
Her husband was shot dead at his
post, but Molly stepped quietly into
his place and served the gun SO expertly
during the action that she was com
mended to Washington for her GOODNESS
and courage.
He appointed her to the rank of a
lieutenant, and retired her on half
pay. She was the heroine of her
county as long as she lived, always
wore an epaulet on her shoulder, and
was known as Capt. Molly to two gen
erations.
Tunis Forman was boy of II in a
family whose men were all in the
| army. Tunis was compelled to stay at
home, but one day a rumor reached
him that two British soldiers had been
seen in the woods which were situated
near his home in Freehold.
He seized his gun, ran to the woods,
and found the men in thicket. He
covered them with his musket and
shouted to them to drop their guns or
he would shoot. The men, not know
ing how many Yankees were in the
bushes, obeyed. Tunis then ordered
them to march to the town, and fol
lowing with his gun aimed at them,
actually brought them in single-handed
and delivered them, prisoners, to the
authorities.
We seldom hear of such dramatic
displays of daring now from either
During the civil war countless Ameri,
cans rushed into the field, the men to
kill, the women to nurse, for the cause
which they deemed the best.
Now, men are silently risking their
lives every day in pursuit of science, in
medicine, in the life-saving service
and in thousand unnoticed duties
and hosts of women are being trained
to nurse the sick with skill and intel.
ligence, and to carry cleanliness and
decency into death breeding slums
almshouses and prisons.
Surely the "arts of peace" are not al
dull and slavish, as the poets tell us
and it requires as fine courage to save
life as to destroy it-Youth's Com

HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
Bin Recently introduced in Congress Pro-
vidcs for One.

vidcB for One.
A bill has been introduced in the |
house of representatives and referred
to the committee on appropriations for
the creation Of a special commission on
highways. 1t provides that one sem
ator, two representatives, the chief of
engineers of the army, the director of
the geological survey and the chief of
road inquiry OF the department of agri-
culture shall constitute commission
to continue during the life of the pres
ent congress, to make reports by bill or
otherwise, and to inquire generally how
the government may promote the im-
provement of highways by the scien-
tific location of roads on the public do
main, the employment of the geological
survey in the discovery of road ma
terials, the free testing of road ma
terials, the construction of model roads
and instruction in roadmaking at agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tions, the military academy, and, when
practicable, at all institutions having
military instructor. The commission
is also to confer with the interstate
commerce commission and with rail-
way officials to secure reduced rates for
the transportation of road materials,
and by conference with state authori-
ties and organizations to aid in awaken
ing general interest in road improve
mcnt.
II is not the function of the national
government to undertake the construc-
ton of wagon roads in the states, but
NJ. CY;c,,,c nl,iantinn unn1a fnlIr
ago, that it is an infringement of state
rights to inquire into the condition of
roads in the states and to encourage
their bettelment, is not worthy of seri-
| Gus consideration. The educational en-
terprises of the federal government
have gone too far for the revival of the
old internal improvements controversy
of 70 years ago, and it is not proposed to
repeat the experiment of those times
and build post roads through the states
with national revenue. The efforts of
the department of agriculture to pro-
mote local prosperity and distribute
useful information are as revolutionary
as the modest proposal that the govern
ment encourage road building. If this
may not be done, the Smi thsonian insti-
tuition should be careful not to infringe
on state prerogatives i'll scientific re-
search. The bill before the house de-
nIands no large outlay. 1t simply APP
propriates SO, ,1oO.o5, being the amount
returned to the treasury uneXpended
from the last two years appropriations
for road inquiry. The office of road ill.,
quiry of the department of agriculture
has done valuable work in circulating
information regarding improvements in
different states and hints on methods
of construction and repair available un-
der varying conditions. 1t is believed
by those who are doing the chief work
for improved highways that the pro-
posed commission would be valuable
aid in the enterprise, and their opinion
is entitled to consideration.-N. Y

wants No class Legislation.

One member of the Massachusetts
legislature wants to pass bill pro-
viding for a tax of two dollars on BIZ
cycles. the amount so raised to bye ap-
piled to the improvement of roads.
This will afford an opportunity for the
wheelmen to pay their own freight,
as it were, and that of the teamsters,
carriage owners and pedestrians also.
If vehicles are to be taxed, let every
man who uses the highway pay his own
freight. Discrimination is not popu-
lar, even in legislation.-Cycling Ga

KEEPING COWS CLEAN.
just Before Milking Is the Best Time for
Grooming.

just Before Milking Is the Best Time for
Grooming.
If one-half is true that the scientists
tell us about the extreme susceptibility
of milk TO taints and disease germs, the
Importance of keeping cows clean can
not be exaggerated. H..
Assuming that, for their own COM
fort and for the sake of keeping the
milk claen, the COWS are to be brushed
and groomed, where and when shall il
be done? If in the stables where they
are to be MIXED, then the atmosphere
of the stables must soon become loaded
with the dust and dirt, brushed or
carded from the cows, and the milk is
more likely to be contaminated than if
the filth had been allowed to stay on the
cows. The practice in good horse sta
bles is to take the horse out of the stall
for grooming.
The COW needs grooming more than
the horse, and in the opinion of the
Jersey Bulletin, it is of vastly more inn
portance to those who are to drink her
milk. Certainly, then, the COW is ell
titled to as much pains, as the horse,
and should be groOmed in a separate
place from that in which she is MIXED.
For this purpose, an open shed is per-
haps best. AS a practical test of the
value of grooming cows, we suggest
that those who doubt it, make u fair
trial by carefully weighing the milk of
two or three COWS for three weeks or
30 days without grooming them, and
then, grooming them thoroughly for
the same time, note if there is any per-
ceptible difference that can be fairly at
tributed to the grooming. That the
cows will feel better, look better and
really be better off, we have not
the least doubt. aga
AS to the time for grooming, it has
been found that just before milking is
the best.
