CYCLING NOTES.

A novelty in the way of cycles has reached Phoenix. It consists in an inn portation by Pinney & Robinson of a new double (not tandem) cycle, where with two persons sit side by side and propel, not a tricycle., but a true bi- cycle. It is called the "Punnett Con- panion," and is eagerly being tested by wheelmen.
 Riders possessing a due regard for the rights and privileges of pedestrians never clang their bells unnecessarily. It is sufficient for the careful, observ- ing cyclist to give timely warning only, not to ring his alarm after the occa- sion has passed, or in hysterical man. ner when it is too late. The wheeling critics of the larger cities can best comprehend this statement. Take New York city for instance. Green cy- clists run down pedestrians almost daily there, and in nine cases out of ten it is developed that the rider rang too late, forgot to do it, or did it when too far away for his victim to note the warning. Common sense will dictate when to ring and when not to ring.
 Cooper first, Bald second, and the rest rather uncertain bunch as yet, is the way they stand in the profes- sional ranks at present. Sanger will do better later on. Among the anna teurs of the Metropolitan district, J. Harrison of Asbury park, Ray Dawson and J. A. Powell of the New York ath- letic club and F. F. Goodman of the Riverside wheelmen, are leading the bunch. They are all good men and when they come together on Saturday the fur will fly.

JUAN IS DEAD.
The Pima Suicide Finally Gives u
 the Ghost.

Juan, the Indian who cut his throat at the county jail, died shortly after midnight yesterday morning. His hold on life had been marvellous. Often when the watchers had thought him dead he had revived and had even swallowed water. About midnight, when alone, he had arisen, had taken a blanket from his cot, and had lain down on the cement floor in the oppo- site corridor. There he was found a few minutes later dead. The body was washed and was neatly dressed in the habiliments of white man by sev- eral Indians who presented themselves for the purpose and then was given over to the county undertakers for in torment at the county expense. The Indians seem pleased at their tribal loss, for Juan on all accounts was about the toughest Pima on the reser- vation. He spoke both English and Spanish and used his talents for little save vicious ends. His only use was that of an informer on Mexicans who sold liquor to Indians, and he seemed malicious in such employment.

manipulate it, and in commodious ice chests and sideboards are to be found all the fluids that especially delight the connoisseur of vintages. Ref1ecting back the glassware, and itself the es- pecial pride of the establishment, is a great glass mirror, 14xS feet in size, by far the largest glass in the southwest and one of the largest in the west. The air is cooled by revolving electric fans, that also throw their breezes into two card rooms, of the handsomest arrangement, located to the rear, beyond silken portieres.
 All the work, it is gratifying to note, is that of home artisans. The mir TOTS, bent glass, papering, decorating and painting are from the establish ment of D. A. Smith; the carving and the carpentry are to be credited to R. H. Collins; the Phoenix Plumbing company did the plumber work, in all it's completeness; the electric fixtures were supplied and put in place by R.. H. Strong and the furniture, glassware, carpets, etc., have been supplied by the B. Heyman Furniture company.
 With such fittings, it is not to be wondered that the verdict of every vis- itor last night should be "The hand somest place of its kind I have ever seen.

THE WELLINGTON.
Opening of Ben Buffers Beautiful New
 Resort.

Last night "The Wellington threw it's doors open to the public. The Wellington" it should be explained, is the evolution of an idea and the idea was that of the pioneer caterer of the city, Ben Butler. The new establish ment is the successor of the saloon so long kept by John Kelly at 6 West Washington, and well-known to every resident and traveller under it's name of ''The Cabinet"
 All the evening the place was thronged and the proprietor received congratulations by the score on the manner in which his idea had been worked out. The predominant color is silver-blue, the metal trimmings of oXydized silver, the hues of the silk drapery and of the Wilton carpets well matching the general pleasing eff feet.
 Above the entrance swings a great arc lamp, in silver case, it's rays bring ing out sharply the beauties of the curved Venetian glass on either side and of the panels below, on which in relief are figures of Summer and Spring. The entrance is through heavy swinging doors, in the alcove on one side being the cosy little office. Be- hind the long and polished bar is cut glassware in a profusion that satisfies the professional pride of Birt and Arnold, the skillful artists who will

UNDERWEAR.

It may seem to be, a useless sugges- tion to advise people about their un- derwear, but every one to their taste, as the old lady said when she kissed the COW. Gents balbriggan underwear at half price and French balbriggan at that, may not be suggestive to some people, a Maricopa Indian for instance, but there are others and many of them would eagerly take advantage of any poor merchant who made such an offer. Alkire's are making just this kind of an offer because they have too much underwear and then they rather like to be taken advantage of, anyhow.
