WOMEN AND THE BIcYCLE,

After a close study Of the subject for
tn past five years, Isaac B. Potter in
forms the Century Magazine OF his be-
lief that the use of the bicycle will do
more to improve the physical condi-
tion OF American women, and there
fore OF the American people, than any
other agency. This he thinks has been
demonstrated by the increasing num-
bers who testify to its benefits and
popularity. The average woman loves
TO be out Of doors; she enjoys the
change of scene, the gentle exercise,
the delightful companionship Of con-
genial friends, and the exhilarating
benefits of contact With the pure air
and bright sunlight, which the lnowl-
edge OF cycling brings within her
reach. To the woman, as to the man
these features, possessed by no othei
form OF sport, comprise the foundation
on which the popularity OF the bicycle
will rest.
The only possible danger in cycling
for women lies in the fascination
which sometimes tempts her to undu
effort. In common with every othe
form of exercise. bicycle riding may
of course, be overdone, an
as well by women as b.
men; but under proper advice fror
the family physician, supplemented b
such practical suggestions as may b
had from an Intelligent Instructor. o
from an experienced rider, any woma
in, q fair. condition Of health may un
dertake bicycle riding with a feelin
of certainty that the result will be de
iightful and helpful Ia a measure tina
was never anticipated.

Delaware City does right to protes
against the action OF Major Raymond
in making the Delaware river, between
that place and Pea Patch Island, the
dumping place for about one million
cubic yards OF mud dredged from
Cherry Island flats and Schooner Ledge
shoals. It is their duty to not only
protest in public and in private, but
also to be sure that their protests are
heard and needed at Washington. SEN
ator Gray thwarted the schemes of Ma

TO GUIDE AND NOT BEFUDDLE.
Names are printed at the head OF the
several tickets on the official ballots to
guide the voter in making his selection
and not to befool or befuddle him into
voting that ticket which he does not
want to vote. This fact should not be
lost sight OF when the clerks OF the
peace meet to determine whether the
Addicks party shall be permitted to
head its ticket Union Republican
Party" and the gold Democrats to use
the name National Democratic
Party"
In both cases a faction has taken to
itself the name OF the national organi-
zation In It's endeavor to make the
voters believe that It is the regular
party organization. It is certain that
there will be one ticket headed Demo-
cratic Party" and another "Republi-
can Party" and certainly to have fol-
lowing them tickets entitled National
Democratic Party" and "Union Repub-
lican Party" would be confusing II not
actually misleading to the voter We
are OF the opinion that it would be
much better for all concerned were the
clerks of thepeace to decide to give the
Addicksites some such distinctive name
as "Unionist Party" and the gold
Democrats Nationalist Party" In
short, anything that will prevent con
fusion and permit the voter TO make g
selection without being. compelled C
box the compass of speculation to de

ing women and best physi-

our large towns state that the number
OF bicycles sold to women is daily in
creasing, and that the established pop
ularity OF bicycling among the gentle
sex is assured. The tendency OF the BIZ

prominent mining engineers from Lon

One Of them is Louis Janin Jr., son Of
I outs Janin Of this city and formerly
editor of the Mining and Engineering
Journal of New York. Mr. Janin was
at one time mining engineer here.
end is now in the employ Of a London
syndicate, and his, stay here will be
short, as he is going to Australia to ex-
anime some properties that the London
syndicate is thinking of purchasing.
Hamilt On Smith of the London Explor-
alton company, the largest mining syn
dictate in the world is the other mining
expert coming here.r 1t was on this
gentlcman's report that the company
in question recently bought the ia
nous Anaconda mines in Montana.
7,Fbe company also owns the Oneida
property In Amador3 county CAL. the
Alaska, Tredweld, the Steeple Rock In
New Mexico. and the Minas Preitas,
in Mexico. It is believed his trip to
California has something to do with
the rumors that his company is think
ing of purchasing the famous Mari
posa grant in Mariposa county Cali
fornia, consisting of 1900 acres in the
heart of the mother lode country. The
property is owned by John W. Mackay.
Senator John p. Jones, Of Nevada.

or by an amicable compromise. In the
course of his address he said that the
Indian government felt the gravest
fears as to the possible loss Of life from
famine and he suggested that the un-
dertaking of irrigation works would do
the most good towards relieving the
distress
Referring to the recent statement of
Sir Edward Clarke, formerly solicitor
general in Lord Salisbury's last gov
eminent, that no impartial arbiter
would decide in favor of Great Britain
in the Venezuelan question, the Mar
quis of Lansdowne- asserted that he
was given to understand that Sir Ed
ward only referred to the districts be-
yond the Schombergk line. This. said
the marquis, was a minor point. and
was open to wide divergence Of opin-
lon, but he assured his hearers that
Great Britains claim to the territory
as whole was not put forward with
out the most careful consideration.
There was reason to believe he contin-
ued, that a time was approaching when
these questions. would be dealt with
by an arbiter or by an amicable com
promise under suitable conditions.
When the time came they would go to
court, not believing that every point
would be given in their favor. but con-
ident that their claims at any rate
were supported by evidence based on
well established principles of interna-
tional law,
