An lnhuman Contest.

In New York city a contest recently
occurred that for human pluck. endu-
rance and barbariiy is unprecedented.
Il score of bicyclists. setting out Mon
day morning. rode day and night round
3 small track until by Saturday mid
night they had traversed nearly 1000
miles apiece.
During that SIX days journey The
men scarcely rested al all. Several OF
them we're OF their wheels only a few
hours and spent only three or four in
actual sleep. Muscles tired by the
long toll eonId not recuperate. Minds
fatigued by the strain of long sleepless-
ness and constant attention upon one
Donosonous task could not sleep. The
leaders rode SIX days and nights prac-
tieelIy without rest
The torture to which the riders con-
mltted themselves in entering the race
vas afterward forced upon them. Under
the cheers of The uufeeling spectators.
the plueky fellows ground their teeth.
swallowed their horrible pains and
sprinted On When they tagged. and
even telI from their wheels IN collapse,
they we're seized upon by their brutal
trainers. rubbed, slapped and poisoned
until they recovered consciousness sui
fciently to go on again
Their condition was pitiful in the
extreme. Time and again they fell
from their bicycles unconscious. They
rode around The track in a dazed con-
dillon for miles, and in consequence
more than one met serious injury At
The short stops they went 10 sleep in
their trainers arms. Ooe fell heavily
on his head and was picked up soDndly
slunbering- All bore constantly In
their hideousIy contorted faces the
marks of their terrible torture.
Toward the eud of the iubuman con-
test more fearful condition prevailed.
All of The leaders became insane.
Each had some hallueinatiou. such as
those which terrify the victim of deli
rum treneus. To ali intents and pur-
poses they were lanatics. Where a
score Of stroug athletes entered the
race. a dozen dwelling idiots emerged.
Even If they regain their minds they
viii never recover from the effects of
their torture. And all this for q few
paltry prizes ranging from nothing 10

Such au affair Is a disgrace 20 ciEIli-

Bradstreet's says: The worlds
production of gold for the year 1896
is estimated by the Directors of the
Mint to have been $2os 5000, 900, Of
which the United States contributed
nearly one-quarter. For the year
1897 the probable gold product is
estimated at $4,000 900. In
creases are expected from all the
principal producing countries, that
from South Africa being regarded
as the most importent in point of
quantity and value. The increase
from Canada is ranked next, and
then comes that expected from the
United, States. Other countries
counted upon as supplying increases
are Australia, Russia, Mexico and
British India. The Director of the
Mint expects that the worlds pro-
duct of gold will continue to increse
for number of years to come, that
new mines will open in all parts of
the world, and that with the improv-
ed methods for extracting the ores
containing the gold the worlds gold
product by the close of the
present century will amount to
over $3oo,ooo,ooo yearly"

PROVO ITmNGs.


Provo has just walked up from
her summer snooze. The opening
of school has brought renewed
life to the town.
The city presents very beauti-
full appearance when viewed from
a distance; for instance from the
summit of Temple hill, situated at
the northeast of the city. But on
walking about, we find many dirty
streets and tumble-down fences
and houses. It could, however,
with the aid of an energetic city
council, and little stirring up of
the people, be made as beautiful
as any city in the state.
Students have been arriving dali
ly since about the 9th of August.
Most of them find board and lodg-
ing with families about the town.
The price for such Accommodations
is from $3.50 to $500 per week.
Some students prefer renting and
keeping house to boarding out, as
they claim it can be done with
much less expense. Some are
said to have boarded themselves
for IS cents q week.
During the summer, the Acad-
envy building has had thorough
cleaning from top to bottom. An
addition is shortly to be built on
the east side of the present build
ing and extending nearly to the
street. 1t is to be connected with
the main building by large arch
and will cost from $4,000 to $l6,.
600, most Of which amount has al.
ready been contributed by patrons
of the school. It is to be com.
pleted by January next.
The atten lance last week was
about three hundred, mostly new
students. That is much smaller
attendance than is usual the frs
week of school. It seems the Older
students have concluded that, al
the first week is largely taken uK
in getting the classes arranged, etc.
they will not lose q great deal by
waiting till the beginning of th'
second week. The result is tina
they are focking in very fast thi'
week, and it is hoped that there
will soon be full attendance.
It seems that the people of ST
George need stirring up little in
regard to education. Last yea
there were only five, at presen
there are only three students from
st. George attending school here
That is very poor showing whe
we consider the fact that the littl
town of Fairview, containing onl
thirteen hundred inhabitants, ha
last year a representation here @
forty-five students.
Many of the young people VIII
have had little chance to atten
school and consequently are some
what backward in their studie

STARVING IN CUBA.
A Portland Man Writes Friends Here o.
Condition of Affairs on the Island.

Friends of Henry D. Goold, former
Portland man, who has been many years
in Cuba, received letter from him q
few days . ago. He is now in Matanzas
and says that the people who are forced
to remain in that town by the Spanish
authorities are on the verge of starvation
and that he himself has had very hard
time. The buildings of his plantation
have been destroyed by fire and he, to-
gether with other planters, were forced
to abandon their property and assemble
in the towns. His letter was very care
fully worded as he said he did not dare
to write all that had occurred and all
that he had suffered as his letter might
be scrutinized by the Spanish authorities.
Mr.. Goods letter was forwarded by his
friends in this city to the State Depart
ment in Washington. Mr.. Goold has lost
about all of his property by the revolu-
ton and the Spaniards have done more
to inJure him than the insurgents. He
has been obliged to be very careful in
his goings and comings as the Spanish
authorities do not feel very friendly to-
wards Americans and only need slight
excuse for throwing them into prison. |.
