on a pitcher who is expected to strike out

to hit it, but their tricks are so many

DROWNED IN WHITE RIVER.
William Clare Met Death Yesterday
While Bathing.

William Clare, molder, was drowned
yesterday afternoon in White river near
Eagle creek bend. Clare, with party of
men, went fishing, and about o'clock he
went up the stream hundred yards with
the intention of bathing. His friends
thought nothing of his absence until as he
was about to plunge into the water he
shouted to them They looked up from their
ashing lines and saw him dive into the
water. They looked for him to appear upon
the surface, but failed to see him. That
was the last seen of him alive. Several of
the men at once began Systematically to
dive for the body and one went to Keller
drug store, on South Meridian street, near
the Belt road, and telephoned to the police
station and TO Undertaken Consistency. II
was dark when the undertaken reached the
place, which is three or four miles south
of the city limits. and no attempt was made
to drag the river. This morning this will
be done.
Glare was about thirty-five years old. He
had not been employed recently owing to
the strike trouble iE which his union is in

QUEEN CITY WHEELMEN
RIDERS FROM CINCINNATI PAY THE
CITY VISIT.
just the Time for CycIing-Anxious to
Take the Other Side of the
Road-WheeI Notes.

Yesterday was a great day for the cy-
clers The intense heat, of course was a
drawback but not sufficient to keep the
thousands from enjoying the splendid coun-
try roads made by the rains of Friday and
Saturday. The roads were never better
and probably they were never more gener-
ally used by Indianapolis wheel riders than
yesterday.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Rail-
road brought into the city several hundred
wheel riders from Cincinnati, including
a dozen or more clubs and hundreds of I'M
attached riders. With each excursion ticket
there was a coupon good for ride over
the cycle path and it is needless to say that
most of the riders took advantage of the
cool and refreshing ride along the shady
ledge between the river and canal
The Cincinnati parties were met at the
station by committees from the Outing and
White Clubs. These clubs had headed a
similar excursion to Cincinnati the Sunday
before and most of the members remem-
bered the royal treatment they had re-
ceived in the Queen City. They were on
hand in goodly numbers yesterday to re-
cprocate and do their best to make the
visitors enjoy themselves.
The majority of the riders took advantage
of the morning ride to Broad Ripple, where
the shady ride back to the city was most
enjoyable. A turn about the city and, din
ner at some restaurant or hotel completed
the day until train time.
Others of the visitors formed themselves
in small parties and made some of the short
runs out of the city. Some were met by
personal friends and a private programme
was followed by them.
The local club members who did not take
part in the entertainment of the guests
found the day delightful one for long
runs, putting in the entire day at it and
allowing a generous rest during the middle
of the day. At o'clock twenty or thirty
members of the Outing Club met at the
clubhouse on Pearl street and started for
Greenfield. They were all experienced
riders and they expected to make the TWEEN
ty-one miles in an hour and possibly. go
one farther. They returned last night in
punches of four and five Some put IN the
day about Greenfield, two or three rode TO
Knightstown and some went to Cambridge
City and found time to fish for an hour
The road west of the city leading to Car
tersburg Spring was much travelled. There
were a number of small parties to make
this trip and it was noticeable that the per
cent. of ladies riding this distance was
greater than usual. Millersville and Allison
VILE were visited by riders, many going
that way late in the evening and taking
supper there and returning by moonlight

A Roasting Bishop.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
1t is said that one of the bishops of the
Methodist Church said publicly in Cincin-
natl, in speaking of the proposition to have
equal lay representation: 1T is all well
enough for you laynen to discuss, but we
will do the legislating."
If this episcopal statement were resolved
into it's original elements the analysis
would doubtless disclose that it is composed
in equal parts of assumption and presump-
ton. The assumption is that the laymen,
having borne with episcopal artstocracy
thus long, the presumption arises that they
will continue to do So He fails entirely to
conceive that the discussion Will yield any
re suits. 1t seems to have escaped the mind
of the bishop that in Il free country the
conquering foe to any sort of oppression
is discussion and agitation He doubtless
thinks that government of the few is made
secure over the many by the unwarranted
George of England thought does the
bishop But he was mistaken. The dis
cussion of the colonists upset the plans of
the British King. The present pol1ty OF the
Methodist Church was conceived under his
reign, and is the only thing left that
can now think of to remind us that we
were once subjects of his Majesty. II is
to be regretted that an American born
bishop has so poor an opinion of the cour-
age and spirit of American laymen The
tenure of his office may have DETECTED his
Judgment He NAV wake up to a complete
realization of the fact that the American
laymen have taken possession of what they
have with great sacrifice and devotion
built for the promotion of Christianity
They intend to control their own. The
bishop may find yet that he is q servant
and not a sovereign in the church that be-
longs, not TO the priest but the people
Let us earnestly hope that his blinded eyes
may be opened that he may yet see that
this agitation will bring this needed saliva

FREE SONS OF ISRAEL.
An Organization That Is Thoroughly
AmericanizinE Its Members.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The national conven-
ticn of the Free Sons of Israel was called
to order to-day by Grand Master Julius
Hamburger, of New York city, in the ban
quet hall of the Auditorium He thanked
the members of the Chicago lodges for their
hospitable treatment of the visitors. Dr.
A j. Messing offered prayer and the dele
gates then elected temporary officers, Judge
Philip Stein being chosen chairman. Grand
Master Hamburger then proceeded with his
report, the reading of which occupied near
ly two hours. He detailed the various adj
Vantages of the order, saying that in spite
of the stagnation of industries the order
had tlourished and had now a reserve fund
of nearly $1,o000Q0. He. said If the order
had accomplished nothing else than the
thorough Americanization of it's members
this achievement alone would stamp 1t as
the educator of the people, and the benefits
derived would thus be incalculable to the
Nation.

Pursuit RAGING.

Boston. The men start on opposite sides of
the circular track and ride in the same di-

Remarkable Success of New Pile


Cure.
People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and inconvenience OF
that common disorder, piles, will look with
skeptlcism upon the claims of the makers
of the new discovery for cure of all forms
Of piles known under the name of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure; nevertheless. the extraordi-
nary cures performed by this remedy are
such as to warrant the investigation of any
sufferer. AS a case in point the following
letter speaks for itself:

HOT WEATHER AND WHEELING.
Now Is Just the Time When LIT Is Most
HenIfhfuI.

The warm weather means that interest
in cycling will lag. 1t should mean just
the opposite, according to a physician. he
says that from the health standpoint the
warmer the weather the better for the
cycler or for any person taking violent
exercise Racing cyclists never do their
best until the hot weather sets in. Race
horses are never expected to reach good
form until July or August. This OF
course is because they have had the ben
eft of the seasons training, but this con-
sideration is small. The violent exercise
of riding raises the temperature of the
body and with the temperature of the
air much lower, there is a constant an
tagonism between the body and the atmos-
phere. 1t requires an unconscious energy
which detracts from the working energy
of the racer Then, also, the air being
nearer the temperature of the body, there
is less likelihood of chills congestion and
all those ailments which come from
changes.

New NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Record.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Edward S. Ed
wards, the Welsh rider, of the Century
Wheelmen of New York City. raised the
American record for twentyfour hours
road riding to 349 2-5 miles to-day. The
best previous record, 314 miles, was made
by Smith at Baltimore, several weeks ago
Edwards rode over the track known as the
EliZabeth-Rahway course, a distance of
twenty-one miles, in Union county. The
roads are macadamized, but four miles are
undergoing repairs, making the riding in
that portion bad. Edwards started at 6
o'clock Saturday night from Bauers Hotel
near Elizabeth. The race was held under
the auspices of the Century Wheemen of
New York, and members of the club paced
the plucky rider with tandems. Edwards
rode the same wheel throughout, a new
sprocket wheel being put on during the
