How "a Fire May Start.
From the New York Post.


The ease with which fire may be

table standing beneath it and knocked over
a box of matches, igniting two or three OF
them. These flew off, one touching the
light gauze scarf which had hung from the
table which fell blazing against the cur
tain near by. The frightened screams of
the mistress brought servant, ana IL TOOK
energetic measures on the part OF the two
women to extinguish the rapidly spreading
fire Had the room been unoccupied. as IL
had been all the morning and would have
been again fifteen minutes later. il would

Typewriter Manuscript.
rom the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"The typewriter has weakened interest
in authors manuscripts" said a we'll
known collector. "A few years ago most
authors wrote their books with pen in
hand. and their individuality lived along
the lines. and their moods were mlrrored in
the changes in their handwriting. You
could tell when the work in hand was
heavy pulling, and when the imagination
dew on the wings OF the vino, and the
free. willing hand followed In strong. easy
sweeps and curves. Now authors dictate
to a stenographer. and their manuscripts
are a long dead level of mechanical even
ness The manuscript tells absolutely noth-
Ing Of the author. He is eliminated BY the
typewriter"

I'm sure I could never feel that way,

This gives Shock the worlds record for
sixty hours, Hale's best showing being 9O7
miles. The old man kept up a fourteen
miie-an- hour pace for the record for the
siXty-first hour
Lawson covered his S00th mile at 30,
and was then twenty-three miles behind
Albert.
At few minutes before 1 o'clock Ri
vierre, the Frenchman, reached his 60Oth
mile.
Shock continued his great work and
smashed the record for the siXty-iirst
hour of 31S miles, by making 927 miles and
four laps, or nine miles and four laps
ahead. In this hour he held back, taking
a slow pace, and covered fifteen miles. Ac-
cordng to the opinion of those who know,
the veteran Shock is In much better con-
dition at this time of the race than was
Hale. He appears to be covering more
ground. whereas Hale lost ground at this
stage, making Shocks ride far more meri-
torious than that of the Englishman's. At
lis Shock dismounted and changed wheels
and then started off again at an eighteen
mile-an-hour gait.
played his prowess by sprinting around
the track afoot. The lap was not counted
officially. The Frenchman told the referee
to bet on him for second place. as he would
get it, making over 1000 miles.
While Albert appeared to be riding in
coed condition at this time, the fact leak
ed cut that early this morning he was in
bad condition. and wanted to drop out be-
ing sick and1tired. He was persuaded to
re-enter,
Ford and Muller Absent.
Ford has not been on the track the whole
day. He went off at three minutes past 5
| o'clock, and though he was at the hall
| later inthe day. he did not go on the track.
Mulier also has not ridden the entire
| day. nor has he appeared. He left the
| track shortly before midnight. and was
| not seen UP to o'clock this afternoon.
! At $50 o'clock all of the men were on
| the track with the exception of the two

The Race Mt O'Clock.
Evening star., 1897-03-31

The other riders are still plugging along
and endeavoring to hold their position in
line. Albert lost an hour in sleep last night
after midnight. Golden also secured a
short rest of an hour, while Cassidy
managed to do likewise. The Frenchman
who had good rest, is picking up n
riding wonderfully and riding better than
ever. He does not appear to be near as
e1ratic as on the first day Lawson suf-
fered with a nose bleed last night, but M,
TO this morning ne was ahead of Albert.
He took a rest of nearly two hours after
daybreak, during which time Albert gain
ed the lead. The score at the end of the
forty-eight hours is not only ahead OF the
Ma olson Square Garden records, but away
ahead of all totals for the time in the
recent Chicago race.
At IL o'clock there Were five riders on
the track-Lawson, Albert. Cassidy, Coll
en- and Rivierre. a few minutes later AL
bert left the track for a short rest
The riding OF Pete Golden is surprising.
He keeps up a steady pace rarely ever
sprinting with the bunch, yet he is a good
fourth in the race, and not a hundred
miles behind Lawson or Albert. He rarely
says anything, but keeps steadily at work
He is evidently reserving as much of his
strength as he can for the latter part of
the week.
Cassidy finished his 7OOth mile this morn
| ing at 10:35 and was riding In cd form
AT 1l:45 Lawson's rear tire exploded on
the west stretch, a projecting nail, worked
loose by the constant riding, doing the

very sprightly, and appeared to be con

That's Ayers. The same old

different. There modern appli-

it? Well, we're much in the
condition of the Bishop and the

said, God might have made
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did. f" Why
don't we better the sarsaparilla3
We can't. We are using the
same old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. 1t
has not been bettered. And
since ace make sarsaparilla CON-
pound out of sarsaparilla plant,
we see no way of improvement.
OF course, if we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might. -. But we're not.
We're making the same old sar-
saparilla to cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it's the
same old sGrsaparill0 be-
cause it works the same oM
cures. It's the sovereign blood
purifier, and-it's Ayers.
