time on record where a bicycle has been
known to run too fast:
his NAPOLEON WAS TOO FAST"
"A gentleman recently called on the
Jenkins Cycle Company of Chicago. He
had ridden a light Napoleon racing wheel
for a year. His weight was 172 pounds.
and the weight of the wheel was 171b

found it impossible to ride SLOWLY on his

carry him. He was accommodated with
as heavy wheel as the firm makes. ;.

TALK OF THE NEW PARTY,
MIR. Russell Says He Already Has
1000 Voters to Go Into II.

1000 Voters TO Go Into 1t.
A meeting for the purpose of organic
ing Mr.. Waring RusselPs new party will
be held within the next ten days.
Mr.. Russell. and the friends engaged
with him in the movement, will endeavor
to secure the theater for the purpose of
holding the first meeting, and making
plans for party organization.
MANY of the reports that have been
published with regard to this movement, "
Mr.. Russell said yesterday, have been
very much in error. We are not organ
izing any club or faction or anything OF
that kind, but a political party for the
benefit of Chatham county.
Il did not take any action or make any
move in this matter at all until l had Sc
cured 1000 names of the best men in Sa-
vannah who have agreed to join this
party These names have been secured
and everything is now ready for organ
ization. We will hold a meeting, proba-
bly, at the theater If we can secure it,
be discussed and committee appointed
to prepare a platform upon which the
party will stand.
"The object of the party is to secure
able and talented men to go to the legis-
lature men who will represent the inter-
ests of the people instead of personal and
individual interests OF course, we are
opposed to a great many things as they
stand at present, but the platform has not
been definitely outlined and will not be
until it has been considered by the meet
ing.
The meeting of course will not he con-
fined to the Loco who have signified their
intention of becoming members of the
party, but will be open to all who desire
to attend ii and join our ranks. l am
very much surprised at some of the re-
ports that have been published. l do not,
of course intend to hold any political
meeting at my house, and I am surprised
that such statements should have been
made. We have talked over the matter
considerably. of course, but little was
done until we secured the strength we
desired for the purpose of organization.

AT THE THEATER.
A sBirituaIIstIc seance by the Miller
Brothers.

a Sptrituolistic Seance by the Miller
brothers.
There is one small boy in this town who
will probably not grow any more in seven
years; that is, If the old saying about
soaring seven years growth" out of a
person amounts 10 anything. The small
boy in question was on the stage at the
theater last night and had been placed
on guard at the side Of Prof AIiller's spirit
cabinet where he could see that nobody
entered from the rear. The lights were
turned low and Prof Mills announced
IN rather sepulcheral voice that there
was materialized spirit inside the cab
met, and that il would appear. Slowly
the curtains parted, and a white-robed
figure emerged with stately tread.

the back of the stage to the footlights
ANA ne wouldn't 90 back again, either

Ihe seance, given by the Miller broth

series OF demonstrations of occult phe-
nomena; The Millers are not preaching

claim to produce some very peculiar mani
