though usually, we make quarter IN
thirty seconds or twenty-nine. Now
that the team is so thoroughly accuS-
toned to this big machine my work is
not so hard as it was. You cannot
hold your tongue between your teeth
because then you would bite it off, for
you have to pay attention all the time
and you cannot take it easy, but one
cannot do that with a sextuplet either.
If there is any time when you have any
sensation of danger, it is when passing
another team or single rider, because II
anything happens then and you are on
the outside, the whole ten of US would
fall on top of them and then there
would be a bad accident. To begin at
the beginning I will tell you Of the
first trial at the Waltham track.
We were followed to the track by
crowd of Walthamites who rather eN-
pected to witness glorious failure.
The first trial l had four men up be-
sides myself, leaving the five empty
saddles just to. see how she worked
and to get part of the men accustomed
to the machine. That way we went
around the track once slowly and L
found the steering very difficult then,
for, besides the novelty of the machine
and nv own nervousness, the slow pace
made it extra hard. The next attempt
was made with seven up. That was
success and the faces of the doubtful
ones grew about as long as the frame,
and as black, too. From the hrst
believed that 1 could do the steering
all right Of course, there was some
thing unfinished about it with only
seven men up. We circled the track at
about a three-minute clip, though 1t
went much better than with five riders,
yet it did not work perfectly. Inc
empty saddles were against US, so next
time 1 put on the full force OF ten.
I had six men to start US, three on
each side. They held the machine
while we mounted and ran along with
it for about hundred yards; by that
time we had enough go to keep our
balance, but the men were all nervous
so the pedaling was very uneven and
there was greater sway from side to
side than was comfortable. Until the
machine moved at about gait of three
minutes per mile 1t took every bit Of
my strength to turn the front wheel,
and I had to keep wiggltng it to pre-
vent a. spill.
The weight resting on the wheels was
1900 pounds, but it did not seem to
make much difference, 1t is the speed
that does the trick. At g. slow pace
it requires great muscular force to
turn the handle bar at all; at a fast
geit it is not any harder than the
steering Of a sextuplet, allowing for
the greater length of the ten-seater and
for the weight Of four extra men. The
faster the gait the easier the steering
became, but the stopping-the first time
we tried to stop we rode around the
track four times more than we wanted
to, because ne did not dare to stan,

Conditions Somewhat Improved in
yellow Fever Districts.

NEW ORLEANS, La Oct 24-The
usual variation was shown in the yell
low fever situation today. Yesterday
there were fOrty-nine cases and seven
deaths. At o'clock this evening the
new cases had only reached twenty
four and the deaths were three. Five
OF the new cases were reOprted in
bunch in Carrollton after dark. TIE
deaths occurred during the morning
before 8 o'clock. They were not of
prominent people. Among the new
cases is that of Thomas R. Richard
son of 175S Prytania. Mr.. Richardson
is a member of the board of police
commissioners, and has from time to
time been prominently identified with
the cotton press business. Maj. Ham
ilton, well known insurance man, and
who has been nominated by Mayor
Flower to be chief of police, was re-
ported this evening to be in a critical
condition, but later had improved
somewhat.
Up to this evening the board of
health had not received information
that the steamer bringing some 1000
Sicilian immigrants had arrived in the
river. The ship will be detained at
quarantine, and after her release the
Immigrants will be landed on the
coast. Most of them are coming to
work on the sugar plantations.
Reports were received at the board
Of health today of three cases of scar
let fever. They will be tagged and the
premises guarded as in cases Of yellow
fever scarlet fever being considered an
infectious disease.

SKI-U-MAH NOT SAD.
Takes las Defeat of Saturday as IL
HTuGe Joke.


The defeat of the Ski-U-Mah football team
not dsheartened the university men as much
as might be supposed, and it has not dead
ened the hope that has thrilled the leading
hackers of the Minnesota team. Indeed the
defeat was looked upon as a huge joke and
one sufficient to enjoy a good laugh upon.
Dad Moulton wasn't a bit worried on account
of it, and his popular assistant, Otto Wirten-
sOhn, declared that he would still wager on
Minnesota doubling the score on the Badger
boys from Madison Capt. Jack Harrison
smiled sadly at the thought of several bills
that went giimmering because his men failed
to shut OUT the Anes aggre cation, but he
was as clipper as ever and ready to take
any bets and give odds on beating Wisconsin
next Saturday.
Finlayson said: eve are not worrying one
bit. We will simply work all the harder this
week, and when Wisconsin gets here, next
Saturday, they will find big surprise await
ing them. We will so into that fight to do
or die, and we won't die. We expect to fight
the hardest battle of our lives, but we feel
confident of the outcome"
All this week the team will practice without
person to see them save the men who coach
them, They will be drilled in half a dozen
new movements, and they can berelied upon
to present a few surprises by Saturday They
will be trained to the point of perfection when
they go into the Wisconsin game, and they
will be in the best shape that it is possible to
sin people may be confident of victory but
they do not act much like it, as they are de-
manding odds in all wagers placed thus far
FinlaysOn and Nicoulin will get into prac-
tice tonight, and will work with the team con-
tinuSlly now.

COLORADO WOMEN IN REVOLT.
Tired of the Way Their Own Dear
Sisters Conduct Politics.


DENVER, Colo, Oct. 23.-The women
of Colorado have grown tired of the
way in which their own dear sisters
run politics, and have bolted the very
ticket that had been selected for the
purity of the ballot and lot of other
things that looked well in print. They
have come to the conclusion that, If
men are worthy of their hire, they
ought TO share the spoils and not be
asked to work for love when great,
husky fellows are paid at the rate of
S. a day for canvassing their districts.
In fact, the women are divided into
more factions than the men, and are
out on the warpath for the delegates
who sighted them by failing to NOM
mate a woman for county superinten-
dent of schools.
One of the local papers, referring to
the situation, boldly expressed itself
on the suffrage question as folloWs:
."The party has the bentfit of being
rid of number of women this time
who are not Republicans at heart, and
who do harm to any ticket they are
connected with. Their places have
been filled with women who have the
respect of the community where they
live. and that is a great deal in the
campaign"
This insult provoked a retort from
the ladies, defending their revolt in the
following card: Whatever of benefit
may have been accomplished in the
past in local affairs under the banner
of the Civic federation, it is now ap-
parent that nothing can be expected
from what remains of that organiza-
ton at the present time, as it has come
under the domination of one or Two
politicians who have nothing In com
mon with the objects the federation
was organized to promulgate. Through
these influences it has refrigerated,
and has no individuality of it's own"

TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 24-The death
of Edward Ellis, a potter. has devel-
oped the fact that he had a wife living
in East Liverpool o., whom it is said
he deserted in 1877. Ellis was living
with a woman in Trenton, who was
supposed to be his wife. Notice Of the
death has reached the East Liverpool
wife and she came to Trenton and took
out letters OF administration on the es-
tate of Ellis, which included a house
and furniture. One night last week
the furniture was removed from the
house, and the detectives are looking
for the woman whom ELS has been

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

President Soden's scheme of substituting a
cash prize system by the league for the mean
ingless Temple cup has struck a popular
lie favor. Mr.. Soden's idea is that each
league club should put up $1,000 in cash to-
wards a fund to be divided among the first
three teams. He thinks that $4,000 to the
team, and $1,000 to the third team would be
q sufficient inducement to make the teams
