Quotations from the Chicago
board of trade shows the advance
in some staples during the past
wear. Wheat has advanced from
a price of 60 cents year ago to
50 now; corn, from 40 to 80: oats,
from Is to 10; lard from 1892 to
1886; rips, from $3.50 to IS, 70;
pork, from $3.50 to $3.50. The
increase is generally about 50 per
cent. The price of labor does not
change as readily as. that of com:
modities. Wages do not fall in
price as rapidly rs goods, and they
do not increase as rapidly. There
have been many instances Of in
crease in wages during the past
few months, andthe tendency in
the right direction. Last year the
country was crowded with idle
men, and first benefits to the labor
ingmen will come in increased EN-.
ployment-and that condition is
showing itself in nearly all parts
of the country. The number of
idle men had to decrease consider
ably b. fore wages could advance
generally. While the day wages
of laborlng men have advanced
but slightly on an average, the
amount now being paid out for
labor in the country is much
larger than year ago, on account
of. the more general employment
of workingmen. The man who
has been working four days in the
week has a decided increase in his
income if he obtains six days work
in week, although his wages per
day may be the same. As the
condition Of business continues to
improve the employment as well
as the day wages are expected to
increase.

Bassett. This so inspired the governor
that he arose early that morning and
as the sun was rising he and his in
structor were hard at work in the old
camelback bridge, secure from prying
eyes, the governor on the bike and the
instructor holding him in position. At
ter an hours instruction, during which
the governor did not fall off more
than fourteen times, he felt sufficient
confidence in his ability to go 1t alone
that he headed the ruber-tired steed
for the island and safely made the
trip.
The governor is now engaged in In
ducing Attorney General Mccormick
and Secretary Reeder to learn to ride.
He had hopes of the attorney general,
but not so sangulne regarding the
secretary, who is handicapped by a
lame leg. At the reception to Presi-
dent MCKINLEY, in New York, Governor
Hastings and General Grosvenor Pres
ident McKinlely's lightning calculator,
had a very interesting conversation re-
garding the bicycle. 1t was short,
however. General Grosvenor was limp
ing slightly and the governor asked:
"Old wound?"
NO" was the laconic reply, bike"
The conversation ended there, as the
governor himself had had painful ex-
perience.

NEW KIND OF RUBBER MAN.
He Enables n Man to Test His Hit
ting Powers.

Louis Koch, of Chicago, has invent
ed a new device for testing mans hit
ting powers. 1t is made of rubber, and
has the form of a full grown man.
1t is so constructed that you can hit it
in the face neck or chest, and then
tell by a dial just above the belt exact
ly how hard the blow has been. When
you give him the hook in the face,
which is a pneumatic cushion, he
Kisses wildly, throws back his arms
and shifts back from the waist The
man refuses to do any of these capers,
however unless you have dropped a
nickel in the slot
The rubber fighting man may be use
full for light training, but it is not con-
sidered practicable for heavy work.
Corbett tested a model some weeks ago
and said that while it might prove
amusing to amateurs, it would be of
little account to a professional boxer.
The sphere of the rubber boxer will be
largely confined to saloons and sport
ing resorts.

BEFORE THE SEASON OPENED.
Manager Griffin Made n Modest Com.
ment on the Scranton Team.

Two days before the Eastern league
season opened, Manager Griffin re-
ceived a request from the sporting
editor of the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle for an opinion on the out
lock for the Scranton club. The
Scranton managers reply appeared in
print as follows Friday morning:
To the Sporting Editor of the Democrat
and Chronicle.
Sir;-If my opirlon was biased or If 1t
was not competent, l should be satishe1
with the opinions of others as to Scran-
toms chances this season. Leaving me
out of 1T, critics who are considered COM
petent say the Scranton club has a good
chance to stand high in the race. That
is pretty good fora team that finished
eighth last season. There is not an un-
tried mar on the team and not position
without a permanently-slated candtdate
The hitting OF the outiield averaged .35l
and the infield 1888 per cent. last year, so
we have coed reason to expect to have op-
posing pitchers frequently on the run. 1t
is known that the fielding ability OF the
players Is above the average. SO, for all
these reasons, feel satisfied.
Yours truly,
r. c. Griffin,
Manager Scranton Base Ball Club.

cations are that they will try hard to
defeat each other. O'ROurke is ready

BICYCLE WHlRLS.

A department store bicycle is a good
thing-just so long as it isn't pushed.
Riding down Robinson street without
running into a child is almost as diff
cult as riding through creek without
getting wet.
A lot of old foggies continually tell
of the price cutting going on among
the dealers, but the price of high grade
bicycles still remains 500.
The man who rides department
store bicycle should not waste his
money on bicycle insurance. Accident
insurance is what he needs.
The Green Ridge Wheelmen's racing
team, Gregory, Keller and White, will
go in training some time this week.
Gregory and Keller expect to do con-
siderable tandem work this season.
Johnnie johnson will have a new
manager this season. He has entirely
broken off with his old trainer Tom
Eek and will be taken care of by John
Florence. the great handball player
this season.
The Scranton Bicycle club will be

by Eddie Coon. Eddie has had but
little experience on the track but has
| made a very favorable impression on
| those who have seen him ride.
Frank StarbuclS has given up the
much-talkcd of chainless bicycle on
which he has been training, and has
| gone back to the old standby with the
| troublesome chain. 1t is said that it
was owing to his inability to sprint on
the rev machine that he changed to
| the old style.

| may not be seen on the circuit this sea-
| son. Otto has made money on the

once and right arm twice. Each fall
was caused by the careless riding of
other contestants. Up to date Zeigler
has not signed with any manufacturer,

own hard earned cash.

Jones is the finest formed man on the

his form is perfect in its proportions
