How Cyclonea Anect pIcycles.

It has remained for the French to
study the resisting power which the BIZ
cycle has in storm and to produce an
interesting photograph of bicycle and
rider as they appeared when caught
in furious whirlwind. During recent
tempests a number of bicyclists were
caught on the highways, and, although
q few machines were wrecked, they
were of the cheapest grades. Bicycles
Of the best make showed remarkable
powers of resistance. They were bent
into all sorts Of shapes, but they did
not break.

WILL NOT STARVE.
More Encouraging Report from tho
Gold Fields Of Alaska
Miner Who Has IIeeh in Yukon COun-
try Five Years Says Mere ID to
&c Feared from Cold
Than Hunger,

Hope for those who have friends In
the Klopdike is held out by Frank Cry
der, who returned to Seattle, Wash, on
the steamer Humboldt, after having
spent five years in the Yukon. He does
not believe there will be any deaths
from starvation, though he admits that
food will be scarce. Cryder says that
lack Of shelter is more serious condi-
ton confronting the miners in the gold
belt than starvation. He states that the
closing of the company stores at Daw-
son was temporary eXped!ent merely
to prevent spectators from cornering
all the provisions in the country and
thereafter holding supplies at fabulous
prices,
at is not proposed to allow this" con-
tinued Crydcr. 1.-THE miners have de-
termincd that any man selling food
must do so at the company's prices.
These arc fixed ard will not be allowed
to go higher. Where so many people
are together and can interchange, food
goes long way. An outfit that would
last one man year can be made to hold
out IS months by judicious trading. Do
not understand that am advising any
one to so there this winter, / am simply
stating these facts to encourage those
who have friends in the north.
"Lack of shelter will, in my opinion,
be responsible for more suffering in the
Klondke than will famine. 1t costs
$1,000 for fair log cabin already built,
and the time and labor in construct
ing new one would amount to about
the same. There were not over 100
houses in Dawson when left, while in
the city were 5000 people. In the
gulches are being built huts to shelter
those who labor in the mines. Where
newcomers with light outfits and empty
pockets will lay their heads is an UNI
solved problem"
AS to the mining outlook, Cryder de-
clared that $25, 100000 will be taken this
winter from the claims on Bonanza and
Eldorado creeks, while from the Birch,
Miller and Munook districts will be
washed about 100000.

Mrs, +. A. Henderson, the first news
paper correspondent to make the trip
TO Dawson City, arrived on the Cleve-
land from St. Michaels and is visiting
friends in Tacoma, Wash.
She spent some months in the mining
district, and in answer to the question:
els the Klondike country as rich as re-
ported?" she says: 81 was prepared Mt
one time to say: 1T can scarcely be
exaggerated but since then have seen
newspapers and reply very cautiously.
In several papers saw the statement
that somebody had seen five flve-gallon
coal oil cans Of gold in one cabin, the
work of two men for winter. No one
in that country ever heard of such a
cabin. The truth is, I lifted less than
$4,000 of dust in granite bowl with
difficulty"

lv emissaries We're sent to the North
Carolina legislature to make over
lures of peace. The address of
Franklin'S representative was IA
model of eloquence, fervid with the
rhetoric of the revolutionary era.
But it fell upon unheeding ears. No
recognition would be made of the
rebellious state, though North Caro-
lima had once cut her off without
her consent.
The last session of the Franklin
legislature met in September, 1887.
That there was then no intention of
surrendering is evident from one of
the acts of the Legislature, which
has been preserved and which is
interesting as an example of primi-
tive financiering. The law is as fol-
lows:
Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly of the state of Franklin, and
it is hereby enacted by the authori-
ty of the same: That from the
first day of January, 1888, the sala-
ries of the officers of this common
wealth be as follows, to-wit:
His EXcellency the Governor, per
annum, 1000 deerskins.
His Honor the Chief Justice, 800
deeTskins.
The Secretary of His EXcellency
the Governor, 500 raccoOn skins.
The Treasurer of the State, 46O
raccoon skins.
Each County Clerk 300 beaver
skins.
Clerk of the House of Commons,
200 raccoon skins.
Member of the Assembly, per
diem, 3 raccoon skins.
Justices fee for signing a warrant,
| muskrat skin.
To Constable, for serving a war
rant, minkskin.
Enacted into law the 18th day of
October, 1887, under the great seal of
the state.
Meantime, Governor Caswell, of
North Carolina, issued his procla-
nation declaring the government of
Franklin illegal, stigmatizing its
officers and adherents as rebels, and
demanding surrender and acknowl-
edgment of the authority of North
Carolina. The Franklinites refus-
ed, and it was only when forced by
superior number of troops that
they yielded. The state ended its
short-lived career with sort of jul
dicial farce. OF course Sewer was
arrested and prosecuted. During
the proceedings an ardent Frank :
Unite rushed into the presence OF
the court and dramatically referred
to the popular idol then on trial. In
the uproar that followed Sewer
walked out of the courtroom and
was not again mOlested. Years af-
terward he was elected first COVER

The WAY IL Goes.

A story was told of young lady
who found a package of love letters
that had been written to her mother
by her father before they were mar
ried. The daughter saw she could
have a little sport, and read them to
her mother, substituting her own
name for her mother and a fine
young man for her father. The
mother jumped up and down in her
chair, shifted her feet and seemed
terribly disguised and forbade her
daughter to have anything to do
with the man who could write such
sickening and nonsensical stuff to a
girl. But when the young lady
handed the letters to her mother
to read, then the house became so
still that one could hear the grass
growing in the back yard.-EX-

Mere Sparks.

The husband who sees the merits
of every woman except his own wife,
and the wife who recognizes the
virtues of every man except her own
husband, are both alike silly or
worse.
There are some men who cannot
resist the opportunity to say a smart
thing, even though it involve the
wounding of true friend.
There is a certain superficial
amiability of department that often
goes along with a deeply-ingrained
selfshness of character.
The good man whose mind is
made up to wait for his reward till
the close of his mortal life has
gained great victory.
Many heroic man with sore
and bleeding heart carries a bright
and cheerful face before the world.
1t may be truly said that low men
aremeyer reached by high motives.

DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

Chinese Anticipated Columbus by Nearly
1000 Years.
HermosillO, Mexico, June 6.-The
rock recently discovered in the
mountains of the Magdalena district,
State of Sonora, which is covered
with Chinese inscriptions, has just
been visited by San Yuep, well
educated Chinaman of Guaymas.
He states that the inscriptions are
somewhat indstinct.
He made copy of them and has
translated sufficient of the line to
show that the writing was inscibed
on the rocks twenty centuries ago.
San Yuep asserts that in the history
of China there is tradition that an
exploring expedition landed on the
western coast of what is now Mexico,
over twenty centuries ago.

Blue Grass AStnteneSS.

The bluegrass colonel relates an
incident which well illustrates the
of the Kentucky grang-
ers in business affairs. 1t appears
that a farmer losta calf, and a neigh
Dor pastured it until the bill
amounted to about the value of the
animal. The owner found out one
day where his missing calf was and
went after it. "How about the bill
for this?" he inquired. "Well, I've
been thinking about that" was the
reply, "and I've concluded that If
you'll let me have the calf I'll call
the matter square," The old man
thought over the situation for awhile.
Then he said: "Bill, the calf is
really worth more than your claim,
but I'll tell you what'll lido; if you
will pasture the calf for four weeks
more for nothing, you may have it. D."

AT Urbana, Ohio, last Thursday,
(where they love to pirate of South
ern barbarism, ~ mob of Infatuated
citizens, led by the Mayor of the
city, took a negro from the Jail and
hung him to tree in the court
house yard; beating and kicking
him almost to death before the rope
was brought into service. The mob
was fired on by the State militia,
which had been called out by Gov.
Bushnell, and two persons were
killed and several others wounded.
At Fairfax, Va, at nearly the same

who had been convicted of criminal
assault on a white lady at that

of the law, in the presence of about
fifty people. Judge Lynch, it seems
has moved his court from Southern

FOlIies of Men.

A wise woman once said that there
were three follies of men that al
ways amused her. The first was to
climb a tree to shake the fruit down,
when if they would wait long enough
the fruit would fall down itself.
The second was going to war to kill
each other, when if they would only
wait they would die natural deaths.
The third is that they should run
after women, when if they did not
do so the women would run after
them.-EXchange.

BUSINESS METHOD.

There was a man i'm our town,
And he was wondrOus wise:
For when he marked his prices down,
He then did advertise.
And then he saw his trade increase
And all his rivals cursed and swore
To see folks go with mighty rush
To patrOnize his store.
And while they sat in solitude
And saw his custom win,
That man behind the counter stood
And raked the nickels in.
And when he raked the nickels in,
And saw his fortune rising,
And took a goodly lot of ink,
And kept on advertising.
Each day generous sum he'd sink,
And demonstrated plain.
The more one pays for printers ink,
The greater is his gain.

When VIM. j. BRYAN, says the
Louisville Dispatch, and his true
and faithful followers. numbering
6,500,000, were confronted on the
fourth of November last with the
statement that "all is lost and
nothing remained but surrender to
the gold standard, and the rule of
monOpolies and trusts which had
just bought and stolen the election,
Mr.. Bryan replied: 1.-THE constitu-
ton and the flag of our country re-
main, and 6,600000 freemen stand
ready to defend them" He did not
in despair eXclaim that after the
carnival of corruption which elected
Mckinley there remained nothing
but "civil war, the overthrow of
liberty and the degradation and
ruin of the people" His utterances
and his conduct branded as infa-
nous slanderers those who have de-
nounced him as an anarchist. The
patriotism and determination of
this leader, and his following, rob-
bed the stolen and purchased vic
tory of more than half its joy, be-
cause it was IA challenge and an APP
peal to the unpurchasable and incor-
ruptible patriotism of the American
people, and it was a notice to the
corrupt and t"aitorous couspirators
that the struggle had only begun.
Bryan, among his traducers, stands
to-day:
"Like some tall cliff that lifts its awful
! form
Above the vale, and midway leaves the
! storm;
Tho angry clouds around its base may
spread
Eternal sunshine rests upon its head.n
