NOTES OF THE WHEEL.

Very recently Champion, a young French
man, and Huret, another French rider, were
riding In match race in Paris when Huret
fell. Champion, instead OF waiting for his
fallen opponent, lost no time in putting as
many kilometers as possible between him and
his opponent. Now the public and the press
are wondering whether that Is sportsman
ship, or whether rider Is justified in such
actions or not. The Paris public thought not
and spat upon Champion. In this Champion
Huret case. as in all other cases of similar
nature, there is no room for argument.
Looked at from strictly honorable and
sportsmanlike standpoint. Champion was
wrong It Is true that when an accident
happens to an opponent the other rider Is en-
tirely justified, according to the rules, In
continuing his journey, but it is not always
sportsmanship. He should have refused any
unexpected advantage Of this kind, and. In
refusing 1t, even though defeated, he would
have been far more lasting than the mere

plause than did the victor OF the event. and

win may be forgotten. Lovers OF bicycle
racing are generally gentlemen, and they
love to see a fair contest. They had rather
see an action like Linton's than to see q
victory.-New York Press.
A rather curious case occurred in Dublin

one of the few pitchers who could often

side. He tried it in Baltimore one day in a
game between Baltimore and Cincinnati IN
the old association. With two men on bases
tie the score, Householder, who played iirsI
for the Orioles, came to the bat and faced
Tony with his stick IN The 1rbOar1 SIDE,
being left-handed batter. Tony shifted the
ball to the left and shot one shoulder hien
to the Oriole slugger. whose Weakness at
the bat was the high ones. But he managed
to connect for a chance welt. The ball sailed

Spies had penchant for sky-scrapers yes

When Mullane went in to bat in Phyles

The fact that there is trouble in the Yale
crew Is to be deplored. While the dropping
out of Simpson the st. Paul boy. will prob
ably have no appreciable effect on the work
Of the other men, such an act is not con-
ducive to the harmony and good feeling which
should by all means prevail. Bob Cook,
however, as shrewd, unconcerned and smooth
as ever took no notice Of Simpsons criti-
cisms. In answer he only said that Simp-
son was nervous, had overworked himself
and when cooled down would undoubtedly
be put back in his place in the boat. Cook
has had his own troubles ever since Yale
sent crew to Henley. He never gives way
to his feelings, however, with the young
sters he has to deal with. He rules them as
he sees At, but in such a nice, easy, grace
full way that they many times think that
they are having their own way when they are
really playing right into their coach's hands.

Down in Hot Springs. where the Colts were
beginning to take the kinks cut OF tneir
arms. Denzer had an experience with con-
fdence man which has recently leaked out.
The big Minnesota lad arrived at the re-
sort with a brand new suit OF store clotnes,
which he had bought in his native village,
and on his second day there went away by
himself for an after dinner stroll. He hadn't
gone very far when he was approached by
q smooth individual, who told him ne nad
seen him play ball very frequently In the
Western league last year, and who protested
to be an ardent admirer of his pitching.
The stranger had no difficulty in winning
the confidence of Anson's new Colt, ana soon
the pair were good friends, talking base ball
at great rate. Rogers new-found friend
seemed to take the greatest interest in his
future, and after they had been together q
short time invited the big pitcher up to MS
apartments to sample some cider which he
said he had brought from has home in Wis
consin. Denzer readily agreed. and the
stranger led him to a room on Central ave-
rue, where, by chance OF course, party
of friends of his new acquaintance were
found engaged in a little game Of draw
poker.
Denzer's friend took q hand, let Roger
watch his play, and soon drew four aces He

NICKEL ALLOY IN STEEL.
Is 1t u Source of Strength or Weak
ness9

Does the use Of nickel in the composition
of steel have q tendency to strengthen it?
This is a question that has been studied by
experts, and it would seem as though they
have reached some conclusion in the matter.
In our navy most Of the armor used for the
protection of ships has part of nickel in its
composition. In Germany, when the reor-
ganization of the military was effected, the
gun metal was changed, and portion OF
nickel added to the steel to reduce the lia-
bihty of bursting when in action. While the
use of nickel may add to safety in nipple
ments of war. the question is now agtated
whether the use Of nickel-steel tubing
strengthens the frame Of the wheel to any
considerable extent. BY many 1t is Gained
that the quality Of tubing now used by most
OF the manufacturers OF high grade wheels
weight and strain that 1t is known to be
subjected to. and that the strengthening OF
the frame Is not necessary, especially where
the weight cannot be reduced This is one
side of the question. The other side takes
an entirely different view.

Cheap Confederate Money

What pity that our old fogy consti-

where they have a majority could buy

Retire Legal Tender Notes.

The fear of contraction has a good
deal to do with the very common oppo,
sition to the policy of retiring the legal
tender notes, but there is no sufficient
ground for it. No one has suggested
any process of retirement that would
not be gradual, and the process would
necessarily be spread over several
years, though the beneficial results OF
the policy would begin to be felt at
once. An act of congress providing for
the retirement of the notes would es-
tablish confidence at home and abroad
in the determination and the ability OF
our government to prevent q repetition
of the panic of 1893 and its ensuing ills
that would be of marked benefit to the
country, and all the advantages of q
sound currency system would be en-
perienced long before the last of The

Mrs. Diedrich Van Sagren, wife of a
well-to-do German farmer living near
Mcclure, O., has been adjudged insane
and taken to the Toledo asylum. This
case is somewhat remarkable for the
reason that two months ago Mrs. Van
Sagren fell into a trance-like sleep from
which she could not be aroused for any
time worth mentioning. Prior to that
she had enjoyed good health. Medical
aid was called in from all over the coun-
try, but no one could do anything for
her. Suddenly she awoke, but was
most violently insane, a raving maniac.
