The sick Man of Europe.
Benjamin 1. Wheeler, in June Atlantic.

BENJAMIN l. Wheeler, in June Atlantic.
This century has done noble work in
ditching and draining says Benjamin /.
Wheeler in the June Atlantic. The Balkan
states have been freed; Greece has been
free since the twenties. But the Sick Man
fingers still on European soil He stays
where he is by sufferance of the powers.
He stays by virtue of the seeming fact that
in the multitude of powers there is weak
ness The Persian empire survived the de-
feats of Salams and Plataea for five gem
erations. so long as the Greeks could not
agree among themselves as to who should
be their leader: so Turkey tarries in Eu-
rope because the forces of modern Occi-
dentalism are not united under leadership.
They are suspicious of one another. They
unite for the purpose of preventing things
from being done. Each thinks he can hold
his neighbor in check most effectively by
cooperating with him. The concert of the
great powers is devoted to the rendering of
harmonious silence. The Turkey in Europe
of to-day is u monument to the saving
grace of the balance-of-power doctrine. So
long as the forces of Occidentalism are dis
united or merely united in sham accord,
the Turkish barrier will deny the western
world entrance to Asia; but when the lead
er energies, Occidentalism will straightway
push out over AleXander's track TO the
Persian gulf and this time ii will build its
roads with iron. Who is to be that leader?
Who is to be Occidentalism's champion in
the twentieth century, 1t is TO hear the an
swer of that question the world is waiting
now. What it will be no man can foretell.
We must wait for the coming century to
tell it to us.

ACETYLENE BICYCLE LAMP.
4 Strong Light Which Is Far Superior
a

The latest in bicycle lamps is an acetylene
lamp, made by a Paris firm, which offers
great advantages in certain respects, par
ticularly in the lasting power OF the lamp,
the strong and even light and its compare
tive cheapness. The construction is rather
simple. The acetylene in solid form is
placed in the bottom of the lamp and when
water is permitted to fall upon it in drops
an easily combustible gas is the result. All
the rider has to do is to see that the small
reservoir for the water supply does not get
down, according to the desire of the rider.
The upper part of the lamp is the same as
the ordinary kind. A local firm expects to
place such a lamp as this on the market
in this city before long The indianapolis
Electric Company is expecting samples TO
arrive any time

Committee Preparing to Care for
Twenty Thousand Guests.
The hotel and accommodations committee
of the L. A. w. national meet, which will
be held in Philadelphia Aug. to Z. is now
in a position TO give detailed information
regarding accommodations during the week
of the meet. Chairman w. p. Street has
been hard at work for the past two weeks
gathering the necessary pointers, and, al
though the meet is more than ten weeks
off, the inquiries are so numerous as to
fully justify the executive committees
claim that upwards of twenty thousand
out-of-town cyclers will visit the city dur
ing the FIRST week of August Hence il is
advisable that those who contemplate going
to Philadelphia during the meet should
communicate with the hotel committee as
soon as possible, in order that their quar-
ters may be assigned them at once. Regu-
lar attendants at former league meets have
doubtless experienced the diseomforts at
tendant upon securing quarters at the last
minute, and it is with desire 30 obviate

THE BICYCLE ROwDY.
He Constitutes the Chief Crime Re-
suIting from the Wheel.

boston transcript.
We hear of a corps of Red Cross bicycle
nurses being organized in New York. This
may be very well, but what is more needed
than the bicycle nurse is the bicycle knight
Grant When able-bodied wheelmen run
down old ladies' break their bones and then
scorch off before any note can be taken as
to their identity-or more cowardly still, in
a sorrowful and gentlemanly manner, give
false names and addresses and ride out of
sight-the time has evidently come when
the honor of wheeling demands class of
riders who will do what they can do to see
the helpless protected and outrageous
wrongs avenged. The proportion of bicy-
clers who are simply odious toughs seems
to increase rather than diminish. Whether
this is because fewer gentlemen, not de-
sirous of the company they find on the road
are riding the wheel than was the case at
first or whether it is because the toughs
who were in any case bound to ride have
only now succeeded in providing them
selves with wheels, the Listener does not
know. Probably the latter alternative is
the true one; the bicycle which lends the
hoodlum lighter wings to fly, has just ar
rived at the accomplishment of what was
from the first to be expected from it.
This, in the Listeners mind, is the chief
crime of the bicycle-that it relieves a
rowdy of the necessity of answering for his
rowdy acts. In the old days when people
went either on their feet. or. on the backs
of horses or in carriages, a rowdy could be
knocked down or horSeWhpped when he
gave rein to his natural proclivities, and the
air was clearer and the world was better
for his chastsement. The rowdy knew
what he had to expect, and if there was an
honest man in sight he was apt to keep as
civil tongue in his head as he knew how
to keep anywhere. Now, mounted on a BIZ
cycle, which his strength of thew and
abundance of leisure enables him to ride
very swiftly, and being waited by the ma
chine outside the limited locality where he
may in degree be answerable for what
he does because he lives there the tough
says and does exactly what he pleases; he
let's slip whatever insult comes to his
ribald lips-and in a minute is beyond any
bodys reach. The man who, If the insulter
were on his feet might have righteously
knocked him down, is, perhaps wisely, de-
barred from drawing a bead with rifle on
the bumped back which is now shrinking
into a speck. Nothing but another bicycle
ridden by a Swifter man than the tough
himself. can overtake him; and that is one
reason why the Listener says that there
ought to be, for the credit of the fascinat-
ing sport Of bicycling, a class of knights
Grant of wheel.

THE OLD WAY

Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by
Dieting Barbarous and Useless One.
We say the old way, but really it is
very common one at present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians
as we'll consider the first step TO take
IN attempting to cure indigestion is
to diet, either by selecting certain
foods and rejecting others or to
greatly diminish the quantity usually
taken, in other words the starvation
plan is by many supposed to be the
first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again, but still the
moment dyspepsia makes its appear
ance course of dieting is at once ad-
vised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend
| dieting or starvation to man suffer-
ing from dyspepsia, because indiges-
tion itself starves every organ and
| every nerve and fiber In the body.
What the dyspeptle wants is abun-
dant nutrition, which means plenty
of good, wholesome, we'll cooked food
and something to assist the weak
stomach to digest it. This is exactly
the purpose for which Stuart's Dys-
| pepsia Tablets are adapted and this is
the method by which they cure the
worst cases Of dyspepsia, in other
words the patient eats plenty of
wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets digests it for him, In
this way the system is n0urished and
the overwOrked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the food
| whether the stomach works or not.
One of these tablets will digest 5000
grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stauarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the
purest and safest remedy sold for
stomach troubles and every trial makes
one more friend for this excellent pre-
paratiOn. Sold at so cents fer full
sized package all drug stores.
