A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh. which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
viduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage of the nasal passages, and
in fact are incapacitated for work OF any
kind for DAYS at a time These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief.

est and unassum1ng, and speaks OF his
successes III such an ordinary way, always
relegating himself to the background, that
the listener receives positive shock.
AS to his Immediate future movements
be could not say yesterday, but thought
he might go east the end OF this week. He
will know better to-day. He is delighted
with California weather as he has found it,
and likes San Francisco exceedingly well.
The management of the indoor tourna-
ment to be held at the Pavilion in March
is desirous of having Jimmy stay here
and compete in the professional events,
and offered him a large bonus to do so,
but ne does not think he Will accept. II
he does the Pavilion would hardly be large
enough to hold the crowds that would 90
to see the man who has defeated the cham
pion racers of every country where bicycle
racing obtains, and who IS an American
through and through.
Z. NJ. Welch, representative of the Ma
tional racing board, yesterday wired the
riders who are trying for records, both at
Coronado and Santa Monica, that the en-
be made at once and that any riders ac-
cepting employment on racing teams or
receiving pay or expenses for riding would
at once be declared professionals. All
record work has been stopped at both
these places, as the men did not know
what to do.
Mr.. Welch who has just returned from
the south, thinks the action of the Ma
tional assembly in declaring against class
B and drawing the amateur line closer
than ever is a splendid move. With
the League of American Wheelmen
in control of both amateur and
professional racing, and with no
intermediate class, the sport should be
well conducted and popular. The public
has faith in the league TO handle it hon
estly, and for the first time in the history
of the sport, professionals will be looked
upon with favor, and not considered takers
who might throw race If it best suited
their interests SO to do.
The class B riders of the past have been
given the option Of returning to the pure
amateur ranks, or joining the profession
ais. 1t is thought that most of the coast
men who were in that class will take the
backward step at first, and remain anna
teurs until they see what the crack East
ern riders will do. This will bring
into competition all the fast class
A and b men that were, at the
coming indoor tournament. The pro-
gramme OF events will be revised and very
few professional races provided for, as it
Is thought the men will be so charv of
joining that class there will not be suffi-
clent entrants to make the races amount
to much, unless Zimmerman rides.
As the league has sactioned Sunday
track racing in such States as express the
desire for it by mail vote OF league mem.
bers, Mr.. Welch is taking steps TO find out
the feelings of the riders of this State re-
garding Sunday meets and, if they are fa-
vored, we may expect to see them quite
frequently this year.
The entries for the twenty-five-mile
handicap road race OF the California Asso-
ciated Cycling Clubs to be held next Sat-
urday closed last night and will be an
nounced to-day.

the head Of his bed and run wire to the
door. But no ordinary button would do
him. He was afraid he would turn over and
go to sleep again as soon as TIE bell stopped
ringing. Consequently he put a switch
on the outside of the door and arranged
with the janitor to come up and turn the
switch at certain hour every morning.
That would start the bell ringing, and it
would not stop until he got up and turned
off the current. He was naturally proud
OF his device. He felt that he had solved
great problem. And he had. There was
had turned the switch, for it was neces-
sary to get up and cross the room in order
to stop the noise.
But he overlooked one thing. He made
no arrangement for notifying the ianitor
when he was not at home. and the first
night that he failed TO come home there
was trouble. The janitor went to the door
at the usual hour in the morning, turned
the switch, and then went back to his
quarters in the basement, leaving the bell
IN active operation.
Occupants of adjoining apartments were
unanimous in the assertion afterward that
the bell did not shirk its work that morn
ing. They did not think much of the bell
any way, but on ordinary occasions it was
shut off after few minutes of active
service, so they had refrained from max
ing any complaint. This time, however,
it continued its business at the old stand
for about half an hour, and they rebelled.
One by one they came to their doors to
see what the trouble might be, and later
enjoyed themselves by pounding on the
door of the amateur electricians room and
yelling to the supposed occupant to shut
it off. Finding that that did no good, they
talked of breaking down the door, but
finally decided to send for the ianitor and
let him do it.
The ianitor came and listened to their
indignant protests. He harkened to
them patiently while they advised him to
knock panel out OF the door with an ak.
Then he quietly reached up and turned
the switch, while half dozen sheepish-
looking men crept back into their rooms.
However, one of them evidently came
out again, for when the amateur cleo
trician returned he found that the switch
had been smashed. - Chicago Evening

Thomas Stumps was one of the greatest
clothiers in England. He lived in the
reign of Henry VIII, and is said to have
maintained so many in his trade that
when the aforementioned king-who had
been hunting in Bredon forest-came with
his train of courtiers and servants to dine
with him he was not surprised, but CON-
manded his workmen to abstain for one
meal until night, and with the same pro-
visions gave the king and his court such a
plentiful entertainment of wholesome,
though not dainty food that they went
away well satisfied.
