BIKE WITH PNEUMATIC HUB.
1t Proposes to Do Away with Punct-
urablc Tires.

Harry r. Collins of South Bethlehem,
Pa, has been granted patent for a
new kind of bicycle. The invention does
away with the pnuematic tires, which
are now used entirely by all the manu-
facturers of BICYCLES, and substitutes the
solid tires which were in use before the
pneumatic tubes were discovered
But there is pneumatic tube used In
the construction OF the wheel, and it plays
quite an important part in the makeup
of the new device. This tube is fitted
around the hub of the wheel and is en-
cased in q nickel frame in such manner
as to prevent any wear and tear on the
rubber
This pneumatic tube is blown up the
same as pneumatic tires and the frame
having on these inflated tubes, causes
the rider TO rock easy and does away with
all Earring and jolting.
The pneumatic tube in the hub is so well
protected by the nickel casing that there
is absolutely no wear upon it, hence it
cannot become out of order, and Will last
about three years.
The wheel tires, as stated above, are
solid, and are not cemented to the rim,
but are sliced on the inside so that they
fit snugly in the grooves cut in the wooded
rim, and once on always stay on until
worn out. The wooden rim is made of
three kinds of wood, in three sections.
No repair kit is necessary with this
wheel and punctures never occur.
The spokes are attached to the steel
rim around the pnuematfc tube and are
made of a material that can be bent and
twisted. They are so strung to the rim as
to throw the whole weight of the wheel
and rider upon four of them, which is
an innovation in itself.
Mr.. Collins has had machine of this
pattern built and recently gave it a thor
ough test IN the presence of quite a num-
Der of spectators. The wheel was ridden
over bitches, logs, rocks, glass and in
other ways given a complete test, with
the result that it proved in every way sat-
isfactory and a great invention. 1t is said
that the idea was presented to Mr.. Col
Inns as the result of a puncture He
was on a run and a puncture overlook
him many miles from home. He was
forced to walk to his place of abode, as
his puncture kit had been left behind
While trudging along the idea came to
him of his present invention and he be-
gan work on the new device the next day,
with the result above related.
1t is said that Gen Nelson A. Miles of
the United States army has recommended
that ten of the wheels be ordered for the
use of the soldiers as an experiment.

CRACK TROTTERs COMING.
Entries for the Holiday Races Al
ready Being Made.

The holiday races at the Thunderbolt
Driving Park promise to have some first
class talent facing the starter in both the
running and harness events Manager A.
p. Doyle returned yesterday from Charles
ton, where he has been getting entries for
Christmas and New Year days. He is much
encouraged by his trip, and speaks in the
highest terms of the treatment he receiv-
ed from his brother horsemen in Charles
ton.
Charleston had a very successful meeting
last week, and a superb lot of runners.
trotters and PAGERS took part in the events
and drew large and enthusiastic crowds to
Wagner Park
Mr.. Doyle says the races were on a high
order and the finishes were stirring and
exciting. The races closed yesterday and
most of the good stables will ship to Sa-
vannah early this week.
j. B. Jones, the popular Augusta horse
man, will start two of his string in the
races at Thunderbolt. He has named Tril-
ma for the 2:S0 class, and Belle NJ, for the
2:23 and 2:lS events. N. Blackshear has
named the great PAGER, Mike Dunn,
for the 49, class. T. S. Staekhouse, of
Marion, S. C., nominated Red Rover for
both the fast harness races, and b. F.
Barnett of Florence. S. c.. will start the
speedy trotting mare Stella, in the same
classes. A. b. Cook has promised to bring
over the fast gelding, Joe Pope
The running stables are largely in the
majority a Charleston and most of|the
good ones will come to Savannah. Murphy

Kelly, and Santa Maria, two very clever
runners. j. b. Reedy has good ones" this

will bring two fast sprinters, Jerry Mack
and Islander The other stables include
the thoroughbreds, Lucy, Jacob Lit. I'm
lucky, sSalome, Overetta Milds and Klon-
dyke.
The Savannah horses are all in active
training at the track, and a least three
will score down with the visitors in the
harness races.
Mr.. Doyle invites the lovers of horse
racing to visit the track during the week.
and witness the workout brushes between
the visiting horses, and the home talent.

WOMEN's BUSINESS MANNERS.
Telephone Girl More Acceptable to
the Public Than Her Brother.

the Public Than Her Brother.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch
Although the pert young business wo-
men are not yet subdued, it has been re-
marked in discussion on the place of wo-
men in commercial work that the averr
age of feminine manners in Offices and van
ried industrial callings has of late years
distinctly improved. One reason of this is
probably that a better class of women
now think it no degradation to make their
own living.
In telephone work they have been a no.
table success. Their superiority to men
for telephone exchange operation, partic-
ularly in the matters of patience and be-
havior, has been cordially attested by
telephone subscriber I'm letter TO a New
York paper. The writer says that IL he
can help it he never uses the telephone on
Sunday It takes too much out of him
While on week days, when girls are en-
ployed at the exchange, the service is sec
ond to none in the country for promptness
and courtesy; on Sundays, when young
men are the operators, the subscriber has
to await their pleasure, even in the slack
est hours and besides often wasting much
time in getting a connection, submit to TIE
brusque, and not seldom, rude manners
of the employe. The telephone officials
say-wthout, however, carrying general
conviction-that the roughness and COM
parative lack of cultivation in the voices
of their male operators, has possibly as
much to do with the dissatisfaction Of the
public with the Sunday service as the I'M
couthness of their address. They admit
that the female voice lends itself much
more quickly TO the influence Of the tele-
phone, which cleans" and rehnes IT,
When 10 this is added the fact that young
women, as a class, are not so "uppsh" as
young men, the preference Of the custom
ers OF the exchange for the former as tel
ephone operators is understood
BY way of showing that the pert qirl

When DR.. Aver announced his Sarsapa-
rilla TO the world, he at once found the
physicians his friends. Such remedy
was what they had looked for, and they
were prompt TO appreciate its merits and
prescribe it. Perhaps no medicine-known
as a patent medicine-is SO generally ad.
ministere ed and prescribed by physicians as
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla for blood diseases,
and diseases of the skin that indicate a
tainted condition of the blood. Experience
has proved 1t to be a specific in such
diseases, and sores of long standing, old
ulcers. chronic rheumatism. and many
other like forms of disease have yielded TO
che persevering use OF DR.. Ayers Sarsapar-
lila after other medicines had utterly failed.
The test, monials received from physicians
to the value of this remedy would fill a
volume. Here is one leaf signed by Rich'd
II. Lawrence. NJ. D., Baltimore, Md.
