prominent cycling bodies of the world
Coming so soon upon the heels Of the
recognition by the Canadian Wheel

they will recognize all acts Of the
similar courtesy, and will treat the
California organization as an inde-
pendent cycling body.
The officials who wrote these letters
are all delegates to the International
Cyclists Association, so that their sup

Canadian Wheelmen's Association pre-
sents the application of the c. A c. c.

BORED TOO Many HOLES.
Burglars Make q BuDqIino Job in
Trying to Get Sets Of
False Teeth.

Large crowds were attracted on Sun
day TO a vacant store at 1870 Market
street The attraction was about
thirty holes that had been bored in the
door near the lock, presumably by a
burglar. At the top of the lock there
was a hole as large as a mans hand.
The police were notified, and are puz-
zled to know why it was necessary to
bore so many holes to get at the lock.
IN the window was a glass case con-
tanning several sets Of false teeth with
elaborate sold plates. besides a few
nuggets Of gold. The case belonged. to
dentist upstairs. It is supposed that
the OBJECT OF the burglars was to steal
the gold, but they must have been
novlces at the business to take so much
time in boring the unnecessary holes.

WASHINGTON. Sept. II: 1897.
President Mckinley has done big
weeks work since his return to Wash
ington. IL addition to clearing his
desk of the routine business that &C
cumulated during his absence, he
has, with the assistance Of his Cabi-
net, settled a number of more or less
important questions and made d
number of appointments. And he
has accomplished all this when his
time was largely: taken up with con-
situations with prominent republi
cans, the largest delegations being
from the South about the Federal
patronage in a number Of states. He
also had an extended conference with
Consul General Lee and talked over
everything that gentleman learned
during his stay in Cuba, but, notwith
standing publications to the contrary

az Will tor any cause, except that
they cannot legally remove man for
refusing to make a political contribu-
ton. That is the sum and substance
OF the decision Of Judge Cox, of the
Supreme Court Of the District Colum
bla, IN the Injunction suit brought by
an official Of the Louisville, Ky.,post.
office, against the Postmaster Gener-
al, to prevent his removal from Office.
Senator Wellington disappointed
many OF his friends and well-wishers
when ne made that odd speech in the
Senate shortly before adjournment of
congress, and this week he disappoint
ed them again by making another
odd speech when he resigned the
craftsmanship of the State Republican
Committee Of Maryland. All repub-
licans who are familiar with the cir
cumstances connected with the re-
publican triumphs in Maryland last
year and the year before know what
excellent work Senator Wellington
did far the party in both contests, and
that knowledge adds to their regret
at the peculiar position that Mr..
Wellington has placed himself in.
His health has been bad for some
time, and that may have something
to do with his recent acts.
Secretary Bliss would probably ra-
Their be the first mayor of Greater
New York than to be secretary of the
interior, but it by no means follows
that he will resign and accept the re-
publican nomination for mayor that
it is we'll understood he can have if
he desires it. He might have done so
had not the men who are managing
the compaign of Hon. Seth Low mix
ed up matters so by their efforts to
secure republican endorsement for
Mr.. Lows candidacy. Senator Plat
was in Washington this week and he
had a talk with President Mckinley,
Secretary Bliss and other prominent
republicans, and the existing situa-
ton in New York was no doubt gone
carefully over. 1t is perfectly we'll
understood that the movement to
make Low mayor is but the first step
in movement to try to make him
president, although it is difficult to
decide which national party he would
appeal for a nomination. He says
that he is republican, but he sup
ported Cleveland when Mr.. Blaine
was candidate against him and
again supported Cleveland and when
Gen. Harrison defeated him. A man
who refused to vote for either James
G.. Blaine or for Benjamin Harrison
may succeed in getting republican
support when running as a non-par-
tisan candidate for mayor Of New
York City, but he could never get
enough votes in q republican nation
al convention to be nominated for
president.
No man in this or any other coun-
try has bigger heart than Secretary
Russell A. Alger. When the presi-
dent and Cabinet were discussing the
undoubted necessity of sending large
quantities of provisions into the Alas
ka gold regions to prevent starvation
among the thousands of Americans
who will be there this winter, and re-
GREETING that there was no public
fund which could be drawn upon for
such purpose, Secretary Alger SOL
we'd the problem by announcing that
he would send provisions and pay all
expenses out of his own pocket

WHY CAMELs HAVE HUMPS.
Prof. LOmbrOsO Discovers a Parallel
In Professional POrters.

In Professional POrters.
Prof. Lombroso in the October Forum.
1t is known that, with the exception of
it's stature, the camel Is absolutely a la
ma; its blood globules being elllptical, Its
teeth reptlian in form, its documentary
third and fifth toes permanent. 1t pos
sesses, further that mysterious pouch of
the stomach for storage of fluids, the
same kind of cailosity on breastbone and
knees acquired by the camel through
kneeling to receive loads But the camel
differs strikingly from the llama in that
it possesses the hump-that fatty mass,
with the special development of some of
the spinal processes. For a long time 1
could not explain this hump. One day
however, a poor porter, having q COM
plant in his chest, came to me to consult
me. and, on examination, 1 found half
way down his back, precisely where he
was wont to rest his burdens, a tumor
larger than mans fist, formed almost
wholly of adipose tissue 1t suddenly oc-
Cured to me that this lump-which not
only caused the porter no inconvenience,
but even aided him in his work-might
perhaps serve as a clew to my mystery of
the camePs hump However, in science
more than elsewhere, the proverb zone
swallow does not make summer" holds
good. 1 recognized at once the necessity
of examining many other porters; but as
few of the healthy ones would allow them
selves to be stripped-even for pay--this
was not an easy task. Modest sensitive
ness, which to science is as smoke in the
eyes, hindered my investigations. Never
theless, with the aid of my colleagues, I
succeeded in examining seventy porters of
various occupations, and / was able to
find four more examples of this fatty tu-
mors.
What was of even greater value in our
inquiry was the fact that so per cent. of
the porters examined, although having no
real hump yet presented an unusual pro-
tuberance of the spinal processes; and all
clogging of the simultaneous tissue, so as
to form a true boss, but without definite
contour.
