Earl Wagner Points Out Their In
advisabjlity.
Why THE SENATORS WILL STAY HERE
Advantages Of the Proposed Ar
rangement.
GENERAL SPORTING NOTES

The question has frequently been asked
why the Messrs. Wagner did not go south
with tie Washington club for spring prac-
tice. Mr.. J. Ear Wagner said In regard
TO the matter to eStar reporter: IT am
satisfied that thdse trips south for prelim-
mary work and practice are mistake.
Our experience last spring convinced me of
the correctness of this opinion. When we
arrived at our destination in South Caro-
lima we found change in temperature Of
several degrees, with wet weather prevail
ing throughout the state. During our stay
there of several weeks we were able to
practice hut few days All dates for ex
hibition games with other clubs, excepting
game with Boston, with whom we played
one game We're Cancelled on account Of
rain. We finally gave it up in despair and
returned home with several Of our players
out of condition for lack of exercise. The
sudden change of temperature from warm
to the usually chilly weather of this lati-
tude was very trying upon the players,
and many of them suffered throughout the
season in consequence, notably Mercer,
Boyd and Malarkey So you see, to say
nothing about the expense the trip was
disastrous. AT the close of last season our
players generally requested that a south
ern trip this season should not be made,
and 1t was consequently abandoned. The
advantages of not going are apparent Our
men will sooner be acclimated. With one
or two EXCEPTIONS our players reside in a
climate considerably colder than Washing
ton, and temperate climate will he ad-
Vanta2eoES. They will have several weeks
of excellent practice upon the home
grounds which is another advantage worth
considering. Good water, wholesome food,
with home comforts. with careful and in
telligent training, will beat southern Junk
citing trips every time. We will give 1t d
trial anyway and see whether or not we
are correct in our tonclusions."

called upon for a speech. He announced

Immortal Hamlet as saying, .And who

appreciated the aptness and the wit OF the

speaker said, was something new, and never
created much interest until woman learned
to ride. The wheel not only shortens dis

the stage, but the new woman as she ap-

THE CYCLE SHOW
Opening Last Night Drew a Large
Crowd.
SCENE OF DAZZLING SPLENDOR
Varied Collection of Wheels and
Wheeling Accessories.
SUCCESSFUL AFT AIR
S ESSFUL AFT AIR

The cycle show had a very suspicious
opening last evening at the armory of the
Washington Light Infantry. The opening
was scheduled to take place at o'clock,
and by that hour there We're large num-
Der of people in the hail. The mechanics
and laborers, who had worked so hard to
complete the details of the show in time,
had barely finished their work when the
opening occurred. What delay there had
had been was occasioned by the failure Of
some of the exhibits to arrive. but regard
less of this, the show went merrily on. and
by this evening the exhibition will be fully
launched.
Upon entering the hall one is dazzled by
the brilliancy of the numberless incandes-
cent electric lamps. and the gay colors
which are visible on every side, the combin-
alton producing a pretty attraction, which
is heightened by the individuality in deco
rations, construction and display at the
various booths. Washington has had a
candy show, poultry show, a pure food
show, a dog show and various other sim
liar events, but this is the first time in
the history of both the city and the
wheel that a bicycle show has occurred.
Guest fer Souvenirs.
The attendance last evening was ex-
tremely gratifying. both to the manage
oN'A>A
people f1ocked to the place for the novelty
of the thing. and in this they were not
disappointed. Novelties were numerous.
and likewise souvenirs. During the course
of the evening the crowds surgcd from
booth to booth in quest of souvenirs of
some sort. Buttons and pins were nu-
melous. particularly the former, almost
every exhibitor in the nall having a large
supply on hand.
Pms of all sizes and all descriptions were
given out from the bicycle hat pin to a
Cuban flag pin, the ugh the demand on the
cuban emblem was SO great that the sup
ply was exhausted in a short time
There were other souvenirs, which were
given out in a guarded way. Silver spoons
We're in demand, and though many request
ed them, few were so lucky as to get Them
Leather watch chains were also in evil
dence, though only a limited number were
given out. Another useful souvenir was in
the shape of a thick glass paperweight
with an advertisement at the bottom, show
ing out in magnified form In another in
stance lead pencils were given out to a
limited number. The formal opening of
the show did not take place until nearly
haif-past g. after an overture by the La
france Concert Company, of which Victor
Mercerol is the director. The selection
played was the washington Cycle Show

Possibilities of the wheel.

when you encourage this art in its in
fancy" said ne, You encourage what is to
be an immense thing" He praised the
Washington Road Club for it's energy, and
announced himself being in favor of
good roads. not only around the District
but in every state in the Union. By the
honor and the authority conferred on him
he formally declared the opening of the
show. Let the wheels go round on the
floor said he. land if there are any here
with wheels in their head let them go
round too This last sally was greeted
with a storm of applause.
The entertainment for the evening con-
sisted of a half mile race on the home
trainer between Harry Z. Greer and w. T.
Robertson. On account of the demand for
exhibition space the stage had to be placed
in the annex to the hall, which is rather
small to accommodate such a large crowd
as was present last night. Two home
trainers of the latest design, which are so
geared that the speed of the rider is regis
tered on large dial about two feet In
diameter, which looks similar to clock
marking off the fraction of mile. The
race proved to be a spirited one, and was
won by Greer in 43 seconds. After the race
an exhibition of trick and fancy riding was
given by the d'Valdare brothers, who re-
Gently came to this country from Paris.
Though the stage has limited area their
riding was excellent.

Variety of Exhibits.

The exhibits i'll the hall are varied in the
extreme, and not only embrace every part
of a bicycle. hut extend to all things used
by cyclists from a cap and suit of clothes
down to n pair Of shoes. The exhibits Of
Parker. Bridget Se-Co. and Saks & Co. are
particularly good. The booth of the first
named firm is fitted up in white with gold
trimmings and inclosed with a heavy glded
rope. The corner posts are surmouHted by
a group of five ircande5cent lights, while
the interior of the space is mass of pot
ted plants and sporting goods arranged
with artistic skill. The exSibit embraces
mems bicycle suits. ladies' sweaters, shoes
of all the leading makes, designed for
sporting use The particular attraction of
this booth to the crowd was the presence Of
a silhouette artist, who was kept busy the
entire time cutting out the profiles of pr.t-
ty maidens and presenting tn I'm free of

The importance Of good manners in
the schoolroom is a topic that is wisely
attracting a good deal Of attention just
at present.
W. ID. Howells, in Harper's Bazaar,
goes to the extent of advocating an
examination of a teachers manners,
and would reject n for being rude or
uncouth quite as soon as for failure to
reach a required intellectual standard.
Another writer in the Atlantic com
plains OF the lack OF %politeness in chill
dren OF all school grades above the
kindergarten, and both agree that the
school, even more than the house, is
the proper place for training young
people in social amenities. One rea-
son for this opinion is that, in too
many cases, parents themselves are
uncultivated and also wholly uncon-
scious of the fact. The house can best
furnish the ideal of all good breeding,
namely, unselfishness, but specific in
struction in civility, which is the be-
ginning of civilization and the very
root OF civism, should emanate from
the schoolroom. The best teaching,
however, whether of manner or NOR
ais, loses its potency unless enforced
by example, and therefore seems only
reasonable to insist that an instructor
Of boys and girls should possess, not
necessarily the graces OF a Chester
field, but a bearing of unvarying po-
likeness.

TERMS FOR WEEKLY SENTINEL.
DIED WITH CHEERS.

While the story Of the sinking Of the
German gunbot "Itlis" had already
been told, the . Doric," which arrived
from the Orient recently, brought ad-
ditional particulars as to the death of
all but eight Of her crew. After the
vessel struck on the reef near the pro-
montory and began to break up. 1t was
realized by the officers and men that
no human efforts could save them.
The majority Of the crew were gath
cred aloft, while Commander Braun
and the officers OF the watch and Lieu
tenant Prasse were standing on the
bridge. At the moment OF the gravest
danger the captain gathered the DOOM
ed crew about him and called upon
them to give three cheers for the En-
peror. They were given with a viii,
and waving their hats at the flag that
Hoated over them, the brave sailors
showed their fidelity to the faiherland
and took a farewell OF life.
While the cheering was going on the
ship broke in two neal the foremost.
The masts toppled and fell, and as they
went down they crashed through the
bridge and swept several Of the men
into the sea with their rigging. Just
as a big wave came curling toward the
lost vessel, gunner Raehn requested
the men to join in singing the National
hymn. They grasped each others
hands, and with their voices mingling
with the howling Of the storm. they
went down IL death in the sea.

Another Dry Process.

A dry process for extracting gold has
been devised. the ore being subject to
the action OF a spray of mercury. A
wide iron pipe is bent into a spiral
and holds at the bottom of each bend
a quantity OF mercury, which does not
completely close the passage. The ore,
ground fine. enters this through a hop
per and is blown through by a current
OF air, which forces the mercury into a
spray, so that it comes into contact
with the particles Of gold in the pow
dered ore, which is being blown
through. The gold amalgamates with
the mercury. The dust is carried on
to the next bend, where it goes through
the same process, and this is repeated
as often as is necessary. In the trials
with coarse gold dust most OF the gold
was recovered at the first bend.

A Qu,ck w,.,ed WOMAN.

A young woman at a swell dinner
party in st. Louis the other day failed
to see the sugar tongs and helped her
self to a lump with her rosy fingers,
whereupon the hostess, a pompous
woman, after glazing at the offender,
called sternly to the butler, flames,
remove the sugar bowl and have it
reflled," which was done. amid the
bushes of the rebuked damsel. AS
the party was leaving the room a crash
was heard, and the erring guest was
seen smiling down at the ruins OF her
beautiful cup and saucer which she
had thrown against the wall. Having
defiled them by touching them, she
explained. she thought it best to see
that they were destroyed.-Springfeld
