HIS EFFORTS FOR WHEELMEN.

Mr. Potters good work in behalf OF the wheelmen
OF this State is too well known to need description
in detail here. Some of his efforts however, which
have been successful can be summarized as fol-
lows: He was mainly responsible for the passage
OF the Liberty" bill In 1887. This was the first
public enactment in any country which declared
bicycles be entitled to the same rights as other
vehicles. In the winter of 1sS7'Ss Mr. Potter pub
lshed THE Law of Cycling, the first and most
comprehensive treatise setting forth the statute
and common law rights of wheelmen In this coun-
try. -,

a comprehensive manner. More than 1000 copies
of this book printed and distributed by Mr..
Potter in the name Of the League. In the following
year 10000 copies Of pamphlet called Country
Roads were printed and distributed Then he
conducted The Good Roads Magazine' for two
years for the J.. a. w. Mr.. Potter secured the
nucleus of the fund Of $500 for the construction
of the Coney Island Cycle Path In 1894. lie was
chairman OF the Subscription Committee.
His most conspicuous work recently has been
done as the Chief Consul of this State. At the
time Of his election as Chief Consul there were
$500 members in this State. Now the membership

INDIA AND SILVER
Lord Farrer Gives Advice Which

LONDON, Sept. 24.--Lord Farrer has
a three column letter in the Times this
morning on bimetallism and the Indian
mint. He says: I'm my opinion the
ultimate solution of the question will
be found in the adoption of the gold
standard in India"
Lord Farrer continues: "As to In
dia, experience has shown emphatically
that the opening of its mints would not
be necessary. Indeed, circumstances
would be less favorable if the opening
Of the French and United States mints
should increase the competition and not
only prevent silver flowing to India but
also attract silver from India, causing
an export to Europe.

fare of the United StatN Every mis-
take that country makes, while it may
benefit us as comm erical rival, Injuries
us far more as friendly dealers and Gus
toners. What she needs above all is a
restoration of sound system of cur
rency and this she will not get while
the ignis fatuus' of International BIZ
metallism dstracts the attention of her
rulers. The sooner we can help to lay
that phantom, the better for both coun-
tries"
The Times says editorially this morn
ing:
We do not suppose, in view OF the en-
phatic remonstrance OF the London
bankers and the general business COM
munity that there will be any DISPOSE
ton to go further, even in a speculative
way, with a policy 80 thoroughly dis
credited from the beginning. We must

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Judge Showal-

dissolved the injunction secured by the
people of Fulton to prevent the removal
of the headquarters Of the Modern
Woodmen from their city. His ruling
was based on two grounds: First, that
there was no basis for the contention;
second, that the matter was in the state
court at Rock Island, and therefore the
United States court should not be asked
to decide it. The attorneys for the city
took an appeal and asked the court to
continue the restraining order until the
appeal could be heard. He, however,
