HERMANN TO M'KlNlEY.
How the Late sleisht OF Hand Performer
Fooled the President Elect.

How the Late sleieht OF Hand Performer
Fooled the President Elect.
The death of Professor Hermann, the
prestidigitateur, recalls an incident that
occurred at the last meeting between
him and Major Mckinley. Major Mo.
Kinley and the famous sleight of hand
performer had been friends for long
time, and Hermann never came to Co.
lumbus without calling on the governor
when he was here. When he was last
here, Hermann happened to stop at the
hotel where Governor Mckinley was
making his home, and he called upon
him there.
As he started to 60, Professor Herr
mann said: major, may not see you
soon again, and have never given you
anything by which you may remember
me. Let me make you present of this. I"
And, taking his hand, he placed upon a
finger fine diamond set ring. Major
Mckinley thanked him and admired
the ornament. Shortly after Herrm ann
left friend who was present said,
"Oh, by the way, governor, let me see
that ring" The governor held up his
hand, but was astonished to find that it
WAS gone. There was no need to ask
questions about the mystery. Hermann
had left as a memento the memory of a
very clever trick, Of which the major
was the victim, instead of the ring. -

HIS FALL PROPHESIED.
The Rev. Swoeney's Remarkable Sermon
on the sultan Of Turkey.

The Rev. Sweeney's Remarkable Sermon
on the sultan of Turkey.
Rev. z. L. Sweeney of the Christian
church of Columbus, O., recently deliv-
cred a remarkable discourse on "The
Rise and Fall Of the Mohammedan
Power"
From the revelations of John and
Daniel he showed that the power of the
Turkish empire is at an end, and that
1897 is the year when the Holy City is
to be delivered from the "abomination"
that for 1850 years trod its streets. 1t
was in 637 that Omar took Jerusalem,
and 1890 years from that date brings
up to 1897. The atrocities recently COM
mitted by the Turks in Armenia are
foreshadowed as one cause of the down
fall of the Ottoman empire, and the at
titude of the powers give color to the
correctness Of this Interpretation.
Again the defiance Of Abdul Hamid,
the present sultan. to the will of the
powers is noted in his reply to the
warning of the Russian ambassador. He
said, II may be the last Of the caliphs.
but will never be a second khedive. :"

Will Row at Henley.

The championship four of Canada and
the United States will row in the Hen
ley regatta in England. next summer.
The Winnipeg Boat club four are max
ing arrangements to compete for the
Stewards Challenge cup. the symbol of
the fastest amateur four in the world.
The champion Argonauts of Toronto
rowed at Henley in 1895 and created a
most favorable impression, but they did
not win the cup. They rowed what
seemed to many to be a draw heat, but
did not get the decision. The Winnipegs
will sail from New York about March
I. They will take no chances Of not be-
ing acclimated. but will be in England
at least three months before the race,
avoiding the mistake made by Cornell
in 1896.

COST Of operation.
For instance, where q steamship oaz
now only take coal enough TO carry hel
from New York TO Liverpool, one o.
these electrically equipped vessel
could, with the Same quantity Of coal
sail from New York to Gibraltar and
return to New York. three times the dis
tance. The vessel oould Garry q greatly
Increased number Of passengers and Q
much larger quantity Of freight. The
space now required for the vast steam
plant could be earning the owners OF
the vessel q large amount of money In
freightage. An electric ocean liner could
easily carry $500 passengers in greater
comfort and with less danger than is
now incurred ON steamships.
"Another feature of this system is
the fact that the screws tend to main
tain the equilibrium of the vessel at
all times. Each screw has distinct
lifting power. The blades turn so that
the propelling force comes from below
instead Of above, and as vessel lurches
from one side to another, or pitches. the
screws on the side deepest in the water
exert tremendous power to restore the
craft to level. 1t would be as though
a man were to lurch to one side and re-
ceive the support of prop When the
vessel pitches, there is no lost motion.
When the stern screws are idle and in
air for a moment, the screws in the
bow are working, as usual and exerting
their tremendous lifting power to put
the stern Of the boat back to its proper
equilibrium. When the bow screws are
out of water, the stern screws perform
similar Office. In this way the vessel
is kept more nearly on an equilibrium
than is possible in steamships.
"The increased speed attained by the
use of electrical motors does not. as
many might suppose, increase the pres
sure of the water upon the sides of the
vessel. Just the contrary is the case.
The increased momentum enables the
vessel 10 cut the water with sharper
force. and the greater the momentum
the less the pressure. This can best be
illustrated by man attempting to push
his fist through board. This he cannot |
do; yet he can easily shoot candle |
through it from a gun. New York |

R0TH'S GREAT RIDE.
THE CHICAGO wHeELMAN RODE a.
$50 MILES IN 1895.

He Made 1000 Miles In Ono Month, Ais
lls Centuries. Of Which 80 were Dou.
bio Centuries-He Followed tho Good
Weather.
The years bicycle mileage record
medal will no doubt be awarded to e.
N. Roth Of the Clarendon Wheelmen OF
Chicago, who on New Years eve, in q
driving rainstorm, completed one of the
greatest years rides of history-a ride
that will stand unchallenged for many
years to come.
Roth rode 1880 miles in $40 days,
an average of over 10l miles each day
for the entire time. He travelled over a
dozen states in making this ride and
followed the good weather throughout
the country.
He started Jan. 90 and finished Dec
81 at midnight. In this time he rode
l46 centuries all told, of which number
32 were double, or 400 miles, and one q
triple century, 800 miles in 80 hours.
His greatest months mileage was
1000 miles and over. He did not know
today the exact distance.
His claims to the Century Road club
call for the following:
The individual mileage medal of
America.
The Illinois state mileage medal.
The century record of several states.
The 200 mile record of Ii hours and
35 minutes.
The 800 mile record of 80 hours fat.
The "a hour record of 800 miles, with
many others.
The claims have to be sent on by ex-
press, owing TO their volume.
Roth has ridden one wheel the entire
season, with but one accident-a broken
rim. He has ridden but two sets of
tires, wearing one out OH railroad tracks.
He had one puncture just before he
reached the 10, 600 mile mark, for which
mark he was striving without punctur-
ing.
His wheel weighed 25 pounds, the
tires weighing five pounds. He uses
neither tobacco nor liquors and gained
ten pounds in the season.
The nearest competitor to Roth is
O'Connor of the Chicago Cycling club,
who has Is, 225 miles to his credit. The
old record for year was made by
Hansen, the Rainmaker of Minneapolis,
who made 81, ,O28 miles in 1894.
Roth rode in Texas, Colorado and in
Illinois and all the neighboring states.
There can be not the slightest doubt
of the entire authenticity of the ride,
owing to the applications being SO very
thorough.

The Fight in 1900.

The efforts of the New York World to
switch the fight from silver to the tariff
for the campaign of 1900 should be sat
upon. 1t is not the amount of tariff the
people feel, it is the lack of money to
pay it with. The great battle Of 1900
must be fought out on the money ques-
ton, and that tco with an uncompromis-
ing silver man at the helm.-Fort Collins
