l.. A. w. COLOR LINE
VIII BE an important Issue at Feb
ruary Meeting

DR. E. c. Howard of the Meteor
Wheelmen, makes the following inter
esting deduction anent the ''colOr"
question, which will be an important
Issue in the coming L. A. w. national
assembly. which will meet in Albany
In February:
Although not personally affected bv
the question at stake, being already a
member of the league l can assure
you that my sympathy goes out to
those less fortunate.
Until three years ago there was no
objection, but suddenly the promise
was made, in the event of the exclusion
of colOred men, that there would be a
large addition to the ranks of the L. A.
w The records prove the force and
1alSlty of this proposition. The state
OF kentucky, which, I believe, enjoys
the honorable distinction of having the
mover of the resolution as one of it's
c!tlzens' tails to report single addi-
ton to its league membership in the
last number of the L. A w. Bulletin
and the entire South, from which this
great influx was to come, seems to
have forgotten the pledge
D" NO one can question the character
or the ability of the fourteen mem
bers of the Meteor WheeImen who have
been members Of the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen for nearly four years
and no one can honestly say that any
colored members of the league ever
desired any recognition outside of the
lines Of the sport. In the organization
over which l have the honor to preside,
the average membership will compare
faTorably with that of any other club
so far as character, reSpectability, the
professions and all the other attributes
that go to make up the measure of
worth are concerned.
AT this season Of the year when we
are making the prOverbial new resolu-
lions, / shall entertain the hope that the
Z. A. W. will realize it's error and deep
<nJ,1stice, and will erase from it's es-
cUtcheon that blot which has disfigured
it far too long"
Thomas Eek, the bicycle trainer. I'M
less he complies with the regulations of
the L. A. w. racing board, is likely
to receive a permanent suspension from
all the league tracks.
Polo on wheels is the latest form of
exercise in which riders indulge The
sport requires great nerve and thor

no case is a siXteen-pound mount of
sufficient strength to stand the rough

like mad around the academy, and mix
ups are frequent. But it is exciting
pastime. and much enjoyed by those
who have associated themselves with it.

SIXTY PROPOSALS IN DAY.
Three Score Dusky Lovers at Mrs.
French NSheIdOn's Feet.

Africa is the greatest place in the
world for the new woman and the old
maid. For the former it has charms
that would put the Bots de Boulogne
in a total eclipse, and for the old maids
it is tropical paradise, where young,
unmarried men bloom in wild, tangled
luxury the year round Mrs. May
French Sheldon, the African explorer,
writer and lecturer, is neither a new
woman nor an old maid, and yet she
had sixty proposals Of marriage in one
day from sixty separate and distinct
chiefs, each of whom was more stall
wart and ardent than the others, and
Mrs. French Sheldon. was compelled to
give each separately the marble heart.
And as for the new woman, why, the
African explorer says they can give
our brand-newest bloomer-rigged spe-
cies any number of cards and spades
and then discount them. Bebe Bwana.
the woman master, or the white queen
man, as the merry sultans and dusky
chiefs called Mrs. French Sheldon, has
penetrated farther into the mysteri-
Gus heart of that dark continent than
any other white woman has ever done,
and the other day she told a reporter
HUMMER Oh interesting experiences
which she had among the mary tribes
she visited.
The sixty offers Of marriage were
made one afternoon after she had for
mally received the sultan of one Of
the interior districts in her tent

Sheldon always arranged as near like
a boudoir in a well-appointed private
house as was possible She was the

The report calls attention to the fact
that negotiations are in progress for
the acquisition Of other Indian lands
which are being conducted upon the
policy that the government shall be re-
imbursed for it's OUTLAWS. Referring to
the origin of the bill, Senator Plat
says in his report:
The excitement which preceded the opening
OF lands in Oklahoma will be still remem-
bered. as will the mad rush scarcely con-
trolled by government authorities to secure
these lands upon the well-understood cond-
tion OF payment for the same In addition to
compliance with the provision of the home
stead laws. In every appeal made to con-
gress for the opening of the lands of these
reservations the argument that the govern
ment ought not to be put to the large ex-
pend1ture required in the payment OF the In
dams for the REIMBURSEMENT of their title
was answered by those who were advocating
and insisting upon the passage Of bills for
tnat purpose by saying that 1t was under
$1,000 tnat the government should be REIN
bursed by the settlers
Continuing, he argued: 1t is probably not
too much to say that not one of the agree
mends made with the Indians ceding their
lands would have been ratified, and not an ac4
opening them for settlement would have been
passed II 1t had not been thoroughly under

They Do Not Throw Their ou,,,s

The spines Of the porcupine are very loose
ly attached to the body, and they are very
sharP-as sharp as a needle at the outer end
At almost the slightest touch they penetrate
the nose of dog or the clothing or flesh of
a person touching the porcupine and stick
there, coming away from the animal without
any pull being required. The facility in catch
ing hold with one end and letting go with the
other has sometimes caused people to think
that the spines had been thrown at them The
outer end of the spines for some distance
down, is covered with small barbs These
barbs cause spine once imbedded in a Twin
animal to keep working further in with every

Il Missouri Town.

Missouri Town.
Corfu OIo.) Special st. Louis Dispatch.
For the past four years numerous
credible people of this vicinity have,
while passing the railroad bridge over
the Fabius, just West of here, caught
sight Of a monster reptile. AS far back
as four years ago last May a party
of duck hunters saw this strange
creature summing itself on a log and
made efforts to capture it, without sue
cess. They then reported 1t a foot in
diameter and II to Is feet in length
One Of these men was the banker here,
and all truthful men.
A year later Rodney Lease crept up
to its den and watched for an oppor-
tunity to shoot it, but became so fas-
cinated with the sight of his snakeship
that he forgot to shoot until it had
crept back into the dense underground.
Since then every spring some one,
from country or town, has run across
it, always with great damage to their
equanimity. The reports they bring in
coincide, all describe it alike color
black, hooded head, at least Is feet in
length and as big as a telegraph pole.
Last night as William Gilmore came
along the track towards CORN he met
1t stretched out at full length on the
bridge; he thought to get close to it
and kill it or ait least get accurate
measurements of it by counting the
ties it was lying on, But as soon as his
presence became known to the monster
it quickly coiled itself, and the sight so
frightened Gilmore that he sprang
backward down the embankment and
lost no time in getting to town. The
dimensions he gave of it are too large
to report, however, his word is as good
as gold and party is being made up
in town to try and capture this name
