FIRST TIME In
SAN FRANCISCO
National Circuit Races Witnessed
By Many Hundreds.
LOAFlNG BY PROFESSIONALS
1t CAUSES KISSING AND HOOTING BY
THE AUDIENCE.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-The first
national circuit bicycle races ever run
in this city were witnessed by $500 peo-
pie at the new Central Park six-lap
track this afternoon.
The sport was good, especially in the
amateur handicap race, which was run
off in twelve heats, and three semi
finals The time was fast in every heat
much faster than in the professional
races. In the one mile scratch, profess
sional there was loaf in every heat
for four laps, and a sprint at the finish.
This style of racing was very unpopu-
lar with the audience, which expressed
its dfsapproval by Kissing and hooting
the riders. The finishes were, how
ever, desperate and exciting enough.
c. S. Wells, the big San Franciscan
took the honors of the day, winning the
mile scratch professional and beating
out the fastest brigade in the mile han
dicap, getting third place In the lat
ter race Wells and Foster, old and Bit
ter rivals, were on scratch and caught
McCrea and Merrill, Is and 60 yards
respectively, in the first lap. Then be-
gan loaf, the men realizing they
could never catch the limit men, Jones
lively, and were content to play for
third money. The finish for third
place was far the more interesting as
1t decided in a measure the superiority
of Wells over his old rival-Foster.
The limit men finished half a lap in
front of the bunch. When the time
came, Wells used his terrific sprint
and won out by half a wheel from Nc
Crea, who beat Foster a few inches.
Jones won the race easily from Cush-
ing.
final had Wells, Coulter, Davis and
Terrill as starters. The riders took
things very easy much to the disgust of
the public, for four laps, when Wells
stole around the bunch and won, six
inches from Terrill, who beat Coulter
wheel.

ing by electric light, after which the

$4,000 cash and authorized contracts
to the extent of So, 375, 600
This engineer work, embracing the
emplacements for the great sea coast
guns and mortars, is far behind the
manufacture of guns, and the senate
subcommittee has decided to give Sec
rotary Lamont every assistance to put
the Notifications in good order at once
without waiting for the formalities of
contracts. Accordingly the senate COM
mittee has decided to appropriate a
lump sum of 100000 in cash for the
engineer work, allowing the secretary,
however, to expend it as rapidly as
possible.
This unexpected action will create
surprise in army circles when it be-
comes known, as 1T is the first large
appropriation for coast defenses since
the war, and is alone more than twice
as much as the entire Qualifications bill
for the previous year, including guns,
emplacements and carriages.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 16.-The
first annual Yale-P Princeton track and
field contest was held at the Yale field
today.
Yale won handily by the score of 81
to %, making it one of the most crush
ing defeats administered by any team
since the first Yale-Harvard meet. 1t
was not record breaking day, and the
only record to go down was that held
by Hickok, Yale's great weight throw
er. Harry Cross, Yale's present cham
pion, threw the 16-pound hammer 100
feet 3 inches, thus breaking the rec
ord. The biggest surprise of the day
was the showing made by H. Garrett,
captain of the Princeton team. This
conqueror at the Olympian games was
shut out in putting the 16-pound shot,
and only won third place in the broad
jump.
THE FEATURE OF THE DAY
was the running of Hinkley of Yale,
in the half, who won in 2:01 from Bry-
ant of Princeton. Contrary TO the ex-
pectation of the sons of Old Nassau,
her athletes made a poor showing in
the running, only meeting success in
the 440-yard run, and the 220-yard
dash. Burnett of Yale surprised the
supporters of the blue by winning from
Derr of Princeton, doing 100 yards in
10 LIS seconds.
The most interesting race of the day
was the bicycle race in which the Yale
riders, by good team work, shut out
Princeton's men completely

DEAD MEMS SHOES.

Dead Mems Shoes" is a common
expression. but means much in many
parts of the old world, where the boots
of the dead are accorded much import
ance, says the New York World.
In Scotland. in the northern part of
England. in Scandinavia, as well as in
Hungary, Croatia and Roumania, the
utmost care is taken among the lower
classes that each corpse is provided
with pair of good shoes before being
laid in the ground. If the dead per-
son happens to be a tramp and to have
been found dead barefooted, there will
always be some charitable soul to fur
nish a pair of good boots for interment
along with the corpse.
Z An inspector of police in Scotland has
been known to purchase OF his own ac-
count a new pair of boots and to place
them in the grave, reopened for the

EIGHT BALLOTS.
YET ARE THE METHoDISTS STILL
WIDE APART.
Mckinley Apears and is Warmly
Greeted-He Addresses an Audi
ence of Seven. Thousand People.

CLEVELAND, May 16.-The Method
all of today's session in vain attempt
to elect one of the two bishops who
are to be chosen. Five ballots were
taken today, making eight in all since
the voting began yesterday morning.
The only result has been to narrow the
contest down TO practically three cam
didates-Dr. Buttz, president of Drew
Theological Seminary; Dr. c.. G. Nc
Cabe, the missionary secretary and
DR.. Earl CranSton, the senior agent of
the Book concern at Cincinnati Dr.
Buttz and DR.. McCabe are now the
leading candidates and both of them
might be elected but for the feeling
which is growing that both bishops
should not come from the east The
two bishops who were retired
came, one from the east and the other
from the west and it is felt both these
sections should be represented by the
new bishops. The conference tried to
do some business today but the di-
verting influence of the exciting cleo
ton contest rendered it impossible for
the delegates 20 pay very strict atten
ton to the reports of committees. The
incident of the days session was the
appearance on the floor of Ex-Governor
Mckinley, who had accepted an in
vftation to deliver an address at Cen
trail Armory tonight on George Wash
ington. The ex-governor was given a
cordial reception ard was the recipient
Of considerable applause. He spent
some little time shaking hands with
the bishops and delegates.
The eighth ballot was as follows:
Buttz. $50; McCabe, go; Cranston, 263;
Hamilton, 100 and Bowen, 81 When
the result of this ballot had been an
nounced the conference adjourned in
order 90 give the delegates who had
appointments to preach in surrounding
towns tomorrow an opportunity to
catch their trains.
Ex-Governor Mckinley was given an
enthusiastic reception at Central Ar
mory tonight when he appeared to de-
liver an address on Washington. The
hall was filled with an audience of be-
tween 5000 and 1000 people When
Major Mckinley entered the hail he
was loudly applauded but when he was
introduced to the audience by Mr.
Horace Benton, Of this city. the en-
thusiasm could not be controlled. The
entire audience Joined in the applause
Men stamped their feet and swung
canes and umbrellas in the air while
every woman waved a handkerchief
The applause continued for fully five
minutes, and at its conclusion the ia
nous ChautauQua salute was given
with a viii. Major McKinley's ad-
dress was entirely devoted TO his SUBJ
ject and he occupied something more
than an hour in its delivery The ap-

FREMONT, Ohio, May ia terrible
tragedy occurred last night, mile
east of the village Lindsay. eight miles
from this city, in which one man was
killed outright and his two sons are in
such condition that death may result
any moment. At midnight the family
of Jacob Hess was aroused by an ex-
p,osion which shattered the house burt
injured no one. Hess and his two sons
prepared to leave the house. They had
hardly stepped out when a shot was
fired and the old man dropped dead

George r. Harris and Willard Ellis, ali
boys ranging between the ages of 10 and
16 years, were gathered in by officer Perry
last night. They had climbed to the roof
of a building in the course of construction
on State street and were pelting the pc
destrians below with plaster, rocks or
anything they could lay their hands on.
officer Perry pulled them down one by
one as a boy would pick apples from a
tree in a neighbors orchard.

A Significant Step to BE Taken BY

CHICAGO, May ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Another step forward in the direc-
tion of coast defenses is about to be
taken by the senate and the step is a
most significant one, for large sum
OF money is made available immedi-
ately for Qualifications. A sub-conl-
mittee of the senate committee on ap-
preparations has been at work on the
fertilization bill for a week and the
result is sensational The house bill
appropriated about $11 200, 900 for coast
defenses, about half in cash and half
in contracts. The most important
item in the bill as it passed the house
was the section providing for the en-
gineer work on the gun and mortar
batteries. The house appropriated ST.

purpose, of a murdered stranger who
had been inadvertently inferred the
day before.
This practice, which likewise prevails
among the Tsiagnes, as well as in many
parts of Asia, is attributable to the
belief that unless the dead are well
shod when buried their ghosts come
back to haunt the locality where they
breathed their last, in search of a pair
of boots.
The shoes are popularity supposed to
be needed to pass in comfort and safety
the broad plains which the departed
soul must traverse before 1T can reach
paradise Among some nations these
planes are declared to be covered with
furzes, thorns and morass, while other
races say that they consist Of burning
sands. These plains Of suffering are
popularity credited with forming a sort
of ante-chamber to hell. 1t is Tor tnlS
reason that the boots of the dead are
called "heu shoes in Norway. Swe-
den, Finland and Denmark.

Judging from some experiments de-
scribed by NJ. Troost before a recent
meeting of the Paris Academy Of Sci
ences, the expensive electrical equipment
hitherto used in the production Of Roent-
gen rays may soon be superseded by
few crystals contained in box. So long
ago as 1861. says the London. GRAPHIC

cal CRYSTALS of zinc sulphide, which
were found to become phos9horescent at

are capable of producing photographs
similar to those with which every one is

the rays from them possessing the same
properties, though in a less degree as
those from an electrically excited
