but when It comes to racing The
league Is not a nittterinE success. Under
its methods and rules cycle racing IL
becoming a demornllzed sport. Right
here In Wheeling there are recent ex-
COMPLICATIONS OF this. All OF the local
racing men ride as amateurs. A rule OF
the league is that amateurs cannot sell
their prizes. Some Of Wheeltng's
riders. being successful on the path,
had more prizes thnn their parlors ,dens
and s%weethearts could be loaded down
wIth-so some prizes were exchanged
for money considerations, There are
probably not five so-called amateur"
racing men In the country who have not
been guilty OF this practice, yet the l..
a. w. keeps such a preposterous rule In
force, q rule which allows any racing
man having n spite against another to
inform on him and cause his suspension
from the racing path Some OF the
wheellna racing men have been In
dulglng In this practice recently, with
the result that several riders have been
suspended and one declared q profess
slonal. A month hence there may not
be an amateur racing man In the entire
city.

It doesn't seem to occur to some

No appointment made by Presi-

Benjamin Butterworth to be COM

Me. Butterworth is credited to

came to Washington as a member
of the House, he is actually res

missioner of Patents during the
Arthur administration, and served

derstood that President Mckinley
had considerable difficulty in per-
suading Mr.. Butterworth to accept
the place, and tibet his income will
be less in Office than it would have
been out of Office. Be that as it
may, it is a good thing for those
having business with the Patent
Office that he accepted. That Of

prestige that a man of his influ'

punch the bag to pieces is yet to
be seen. The Senate Civil Service
Committee is preparing to make an
exhaustive investigation OF the
workings of the Civil Service

going fast enough for some Of the
opponents of Mr.. Cleveland's nu-
merous extensions of the rule, and
Representative Corliss, of Michi-

providing for the repeal of every
extension made under the last adj
ministration. Mr.. Corliss tried to
get immediate consideration for
the resolutions, but Speaker Reed
would not have it that way, so it
has gone to join the numerous
bills and resolutions which are
awaiting the appointment of the

A COUNTRY OF SURPRISES.
Strange Industrial Rivals in South
Africa

Strange Industrial Rivals in South
Africa.
While there is little doubt that with
proper development of its agricultu-
raj and pastoral resources South Africa
could be made self-supporting, the sue
ceSsful Development of these indus
tries depends, nevertheless, upon the
creation of local markets through the
stimulus given by mining operations.
Whatever may contribute to the ex-
tension of the commerce and trade of
South Africa, the immediate future of
the country is dependent primarily
upon the Development of its mineral re-
sources. Probably no other event has
so impressed this fact upon the minds
of the people of the country at large as
the dire straits to which they have
been reduced by the rinderpest epi-
demic.
Indeed, upon two previous memoir
able occasions South Africa has been
saved from industrial disaster by the
stimulus given to trade through the
development of the diamond industry
in one instance and the development of
the gold industry in the other. The
Deus ex machina to again save the
country will be the expansion of the
mineral industry.
With the exception of mining of gold,
diamonds and coal, there have been no
considerable explorations of it's min
eral resources. Coal, fortunately, ex-
lists in many parts Of the country, and
it has been estimated that the known
coal fields represent an area of $4,000
square miles, which is equal in extent
to the state of Iowa There exist in
some parts of the country large depos-
its Of iron contiguous to the coal-felds,
but as yet the economic conditions have
not favored the development of that in
dustry. Lead, silver, cinnabar, tin and
other metals are also found in many
parts of the country, but have not been
remuneratiyely worked. Among the
mining countries of South Africa the

ing Canadian Money.
All through that part of the country
(northern Ohio) there is a discount of
90 cents on every Canadian dollar. Of
course Canadian money is not as much
in circulation as is the legal tender of
the United States, but there is enough
for his purpose. \ man advertised in
all surrounding country towns that he
would redeem Canadian money for 90
cents on the dollar. 1t was some time
before he had any results from this adj
vertising. 1t was like the man who
stood on London bridge at midnight
and offered to give away sovereigns.
People laughed at him. The farmers
were shy. They thought it was a
swindling game of some kind and left
him severely alone. One day a man
came in with $40 Canadian money. 1t
was of all shapes and sizes from the
five-cent piece that looks like q dime
to a dollar bill drawn on the Bank of
Montreal. If he had spent it he could
have secured eight dollars worth of
goods for it. My man gave him nine
big silver dollars in United States
money for it. Before the week was
out he had exchanged United States
dollars for $3.50 worth of Canadian
money. This would give him profit

The Capital of Crete and Scene OF Re-
cent Trouble.
Canea, or Khania, since 1871 the cap
ital of Crete, and it's principal seaport,
is situated on the northern coast of the
island, and about 25 miles from its
western extremity on the isthmus of
the Allrotiri peninsula, which lies be-
tween the Bay of Canea and the Bay of
Suda. It is on the site of the ancient
Cydonia, is the principal commercial
town of the island, with a population Of
about $4,000. 1t is closely built, ir-
regular and overcrowded, and sur
rounded by massive Venetian wall.
Of late years few of the streets have
been widened.
The ordinary buildings are of wood,
though few of the more important are
of moro solid materials. There gre
some Greek churches, a number of
Turkish mosques, a Jewish synagogue,
a military hospital in an old Venetian
building, and q substantially construct
cd prison. The fosse is laid out in
gardens; public gardens have been con-
structed outside the walls and artesian
wells have been bored by the govern
ment. The harbor is 1000 feet long,
formed by an ancient transverse mole,
indicated by lighthouse and protect
cd by a fort. The harbor is shallow,
but affords safe anchorage for vessels
of 500 tons.
Oil, soap and wax are the principal
exports; shipbuilding on a small scale
is carried on in the port, and there is
considerable manufacture of leather.
The town is the seat of the Greek
bishop, suffragan to the metropolitan
of Gambia. 1t is also the official resi-
dence of the European consuls. In
1856 the town suffered severely from an
arthquake.-Toledo Blade.
