1898 BICYCLE PRICES.
Rambler People Announce Another Popular Reduction-$6U the
 Mark.

Bicycle prices for 1898 are out. The Gormully & Jeffery Manuiacturg Co, Chicago. makers ofRambler Bicycles, have again taken the lead. and an- nouneed that they have decided to establish $60 as the list price of their 1898 standard wheels, with lS97 Ram hlers. while they Inst. at $50. Tan dems will sell for $l00
 Jnst one year ago this concern startled the trane hy announcing q new list price of $80 on 1897 wheels, thus making the first break from the Sl00 list. Other bicycle manufactur- CTS declined to openly meet the re- duction, which the Rambler people realized the public demanded and were entitled to, stand they re- gretted before the sensont was far advanced. Again conditions have changed. Prices have t+ris year been reduced all along the line. subrosn if not openly. and people have been educated thereby to expect a still further list price reduction for the coming year. And they will not be disappointed.
 The new RamblCTs certainly indi- cate that the price reduction has not followed n chenpening process oi manufacture as regards materials and finished workmanship, as more attractive line of these popular wheels has never been shown. On the other hand, many new improve ments are offered. The reduction in Drjee of these and other strictly high grade bicycles is only natural and to he expected. Wonderful strides are being made each year along the line of invention of lnbor-saving machin- cry. This machinery is expensive in deed. and to keep factory thor oughly up to date In the matter ol equipments entails m immense an nual investment and practically nn- limited resources.
 The Gormuliy & Jeffery Mig, Co., bos shown Il wonderful facnlty for feeling che public pulse and gauging the puhlir purse. 1t has read the times alright. and simply discounted the future. Cause. it Is fortunate in having ample capital, su that no sooner does an improved device ap- near on the market than 1t is install ed in the Rambler works.
 Another factor not to be ignored ia the fact that the concern in ques- ton makes it's own steel tnb'hg' tires. rims and saddles, and IS not anbipct to the caprice of the bicycle aunnly market. Whatever the means makes this price reduction possible inc announcement will be received by the cycling public with greatest satisfaction.

NOTES ON ADJUSTMENTS.

If young blood can put life into anything,
next Tuesday Is apt to be one Of the liveliest
days in the calendar as far as this city Is
concerned 1t is on that day that the Yale
Giee and Banjo clubs strike the town In their
two special cars, and they are likely to
make things hum in a quiet way. For three
months the clubs have been under severe
training in New Haven, and have drilled
and rehearsed in preparation for their Christ
mas tour Concerts have already been given
in cities from Brooklyn to Denver. and on
Tuesday evening at the Peoples church, the
ST. Paul public will have the opportunity OF
hearing one of the best male choruses in the
country, in a concert Of which every Yale
man can be proud. If reports from other
cities are to be relied upon.
At the Metropolitan opera house commenc-
Ing tonight the great announcement is the
appearance of Lillian Russell, Della Fox and
Jel De Angels. This, without question, is
the most important engagement In this city
during the current season and means that
lovely Lillian Russell the undisputed queen
of comic opera; Della Fox, the prettiest and
daintiest Of condolences, who has had long
stellar reign at the head Of her own company,
and Jefferson De Angels, the most original
and facile of comedians, will appear together
in Strange and Edwards newest and most
brilliant opera 1.-THE Wedding Day." The ad-
vance sale is the largest in the history of the
theatre and when the curtain rises the stars
will be greeted by a truly representative audi
ence.

LETTER FROM ALASKA.
Silas Van Horn Writes From Mt. st.
Elias.

Last summer Silas Van Horn. Of 596 Can
ada street, formerly in the employ OF the Chi
cago Great Western road, left for Southern
California to engage In the nurse ry business.
When he arrived on the coast the parties he
had anticipated going into business with had
the Klondike fever and had 1t bad. The re-
suit was that Mr.. Van Horn Joined with them
and started for the gold fields. His wife had
several letters from him during the fall, but
was Informed in the one received in Septem-
Der that she might not expect to hear from
him again before the spring of 1898. Mrs.
Van Horn was agreeabIy surprised a few
days ago to receive Letter from her hus-
band under date of Sept 13. The letter.
dated 'Disenchantment bay. says that Mr.. Van
Horn, with party OF eleven persons, were
beyond reach of postoff1ce routes, and the
letter was sent back by a missionary who was
going to Yakutat. The next day. Mr.. Van
Horn said the party would bid good bye 10

where 1t was expected, gold would be found
in good quantities. AS soon as enough food
could be cooked the party would commence
to climb the glacier which covered about
forty miles. Sleds had been built for the
purpose, and the goods and supplies carried
by the party would be packed on the sleds
1t was hoped the Alaska river would be
reached In twenty days from the date the
letter was written. Reaching there, halt
would be made and prospecting for gold
would be in order. If none was found the
party would work on north until strike

twice before by man, and If they %ere sue

pected to become somewhat famous on this
account. Mr.. Van Horn wrote his letter in
camp at the foot of the glacier. and he de-
scribes the Ice as cracking with a noise like
heavy thunder and falling into the bay. 1t
had rained hard for four days. and the party
had stopped to dry their clothes before pro-
ceeding. The point from which the letter
was dated had been reached by taking a
steamer from Sitka to Yakutat and from the
latter point they had rowed in an open baot
over fifty miles. AS it had rained hard for
four days all the party had been wet for that
length Of time, but he, well the balance
of the crowd. were getting used to rough
life. For three days they had lived on salt
beef and bareback, and coffee when 1t was
possible to build a fire to cook it The night
the letter was written a fine supper had been
prepared consisting Of fried bacon, hot coffee
and bareback. There was no wood In the
country. and what they used to build fire
had been carried from Sitka- AS soon as
the glacier had been crossed. however. wood
would be plenty. The wind, Mr.. Van Horn
says. blows a gale. and the cold is so in
tense that he put on all his heavy clothes
and fannels.
