THE GREAT MEET.
Outlook for the Wheel neet of June
6tll-Big Attractions Coming.

A letter from San Francisco re-
ceived yesterday by the Chairman
of the Race Committee of the Cap
ital City Wheelmen from Mr.. Ravlin
states that the approaching meet"
under auspices of the local club is Gre
ating great interest in San Francisco.
1 is to take place June 9th, and at this
early date enthusiasm concerning it has
been greatly enkindled. Thus the Olym-
pic Club has now listed Sacramento in
it's schedule for that date, which insures
the coming here on June 9th of all the
crack riders of the Olympic group, in
Guiding at least twelve professionals
and possibly Becker, the fivemile
champion. The Olympic riders will
bring with them a six-seated machine
and give exhibition riding on the NAM
moth.
On that date also there will be a hot
contest between Kenna, the amateur
champion, and Russ, his most danger
Gus rival.
From this it will be seen that the
meet of June 9th will be one of the
greatest athletic contests ever held in
the country as we'll as the inauguration
of what promises to be the swiftest
three-lap track in America. OF course,
in addition to the Olympic riders there
will be those of Sacramento, Stockton,
Vallejo, San Francisco, Santa Rosa and
other points where wheeling interests
are active.
The events are to be four in number,
one mile open, professional, for three
prizes (amateurs can take trophies only
of prize value); one mile handicap, pro-
fessional, three prizes; two-thirds mile
amateur, three prizes; one-mile handi-
cap, amateur, three prizes. The rules
of the meet define an amateur to be one
who rides only in his own State or 100
miles from his legal residence for prizes
not exceeding $50 in value, and who is
not allowed any expenses whatever or
any payment from manufacturers. Pro-
fessionaIs are those who compete for
cash prizes of greater value than al
lowed amateurs, but may not compete
for a prize of over 500 value, un
less special permission for greater
prizes has been given. All entries close
May Both
Arrangements have been made for ex-
cursion rates on the day of the meet
from San Francisco, Marysville, Fol-
som, Woodland, Oakland, Vallejo,
Stockton and places between those
points, which viii insure large attend
ance from those places. A good many
of the excursionists will come in on Sat
urday evening. These will be received
at the depot by delegations of Capital
City Wheelmen, and will be entertained
in a hall that Will be secured for the
purpose, though the Capital City
Wheemen Club rooms will be the gen
eral headquarters for all visiting wheel
men. The office of G. J. Atwater, Sec
retary of the managing committee,
has been established at 800 K street.

McGINITY ON TOP.
Judge Davis Says the Trademark Law
of 1903 is Not Valid.

B. McGinity, a soda water manufac-
turer, contracted to furnish the Red
Mems picnic, recently held in Folsom,
with enough water to satisfy the thirst
of the picnicloers. It seems, however,
that his supply ran out before the mer-
ry makers got enough, and McGinity
was obliged to purchase an additional
quantity from Folsom merchant
The bottles containing the purchased
article We're stamped with the trade
mark of Mr.. Schnerr, also soda-water
manufacturer, and McGinity was ar
rested on a charge of having infringed
the trademark of the former.
The case came to trial in the Police
ity was discharged. Prior to this there
has been no cause to test the validity
of the statute of 1888, under which
the complaint was drawn, and Justice
Davis lost no time in rendering an
opinion that the law was unconstitu-
tional on the following grounds:
First, that the statute deprives the
accused of trial by jury; second, that
it allows property to be seized without
due process of law, and third, that the
possession of such trademark is pre-
sumption of evidence of guilt which
shifts the burden of proof on the de-
fendant, which is in conflict with the
common law, which Dresumes every
man innocent until proven guilty.
The statute of 1897, which will gov
ern such cases, does not go into effect
until next Thursday.

act truth, and it had done so, and it
was not within the province of the
Chamber of Commerce to change one
word Of that report. It could either
accept or reject it, or it might reject
any part of it, but to change it's purport
was out of the question.
President Steffens put Mr. Miller's
motion, and it was carried
Mr.. Miller then moved the adoption
of the report as whole.
Mr. Hall moved as an amendment
that the words, with one exception" be
stricken out. Lost.
The question being on the adoption of
the report as a whole it was carried by
majority vote.
Secretary Coleman was instructed to
forward copies to the Anti-debris AS
sociation, the Miners Association and
the Board of Trade of Nevada City.
OTHER BUSINESS.
The chamber approved of memorial
asking Congress to make an appropria-
ton for an exhibit at the proposed ex-
position to be held at Paris in 1900, and
the Secretary was instructed to tele-
graph to Congressman De Vries, re-
questing him to support such an APP
preparation.
An invitation was read inviting the
attendance of five members of the
chamber at the Trans Mississippi Com
mercial Congress, to meet at Salt Lake
City on July 18th. The communica-
ton was filed for future action.
The board passed a resolution pro-
testing against the passage of the bill
=
for the following reasons:
First-That corporations may neither
file bankruptcy proceedings nor may
involuntary proceedings be commenced
against them.
Second-Creditors have no voice in
the selection of assignees
Third-The only ground on which an
involuntary petition can be filed is
where a fraudulent preference within
six months has been given by the
debtor.
No further business coming before 1t,
the meeting adjourned.

BOUND OVER.
Frank Blair Held for the Theft of a
RicVcle

The preliminary examination of
Frank Blair, charged with having
stolen a bicycle of the value of $50
from Charles j. Newman, was held in
the Police Court yesterday morning,
resulting in Blair being held to answer
before the Superior Court, bail being
fixed in the sum of LOCO.
H. c. Ross, attorney for the defend
ant, raised the point as to the value
of the wheel, and made an attempt to
get the wholesale price received as evil
dence of it's actual value. This was
disallowed by the court, whereupon Mr..
Ross placed two bicycle dealers on the
stand to testify to the value of second
hand wheels. Neither of the two would,
they said, be willing to take the wheel
for more than $40. though at that
figure they would expect to make a
profit.
One of the members of the firm from
which the wheel was bought testified
that he could sell the wheel to-day for
$50, for the reason that an 1896 model
of that machine was not to be had on
the Pacific Coast at any price.

Big Trade,

The doctor up In a Kennebec town
recommended sea-water for an old
farmers wife who was suffering from
some ailment, and the farmer started
for the seashore with jug.
The farmer had never seen the ocean
and must have had an idea that 1t was
private property. Else he decided that
doctors never prescribe anything that's
free. At any rate, he walked into store
on the beach and asked for jugful of
sea-water. The proprietor looked him
over and told him to go down and help
himself When the farmer asked HIM
how much the price was, the trader
nearly tumbled over, but he recovered
and charged quarter.
About month afterward the farmer
showed up again with his jug and was
told to go out as before and help him
self.
But the tide was out his trip and the
old man was obliged to walk about a
quarter of mile across the fats. Al

A Pin tho Heart

The old-time idea that the slightest
touch of foreign substance on the
heart means certain death was shatter-
ed years ago. One Of the most remark
able cases ever heard Of, however, was
that described in paper read before
the Association Of American Physicians
some years ago by DIR. Peabody. 1t
was Of case where pin was found
in a human heart after having been
there for an indefinite period. The
point Of the pin was distant about Eve
millimeters from the external surface
of the heart. The pin seemed eroded,
and was broken by the scissors In dis
section. without becoming displaced.
There was no evidence of recent local
Inflammation, but that part of the heart
in the neighborhood of the protruding
head of the pin was greatly thickened
and snow-white, and firmly adherent to
the edge Of the Head.

Before Bismarck reconstructed the
map of Europe and made united Ger.

to annoy travellers by detalning them at
their frontiers until they had satisfied
the customs demands.
An American once had his carriage
stopped at the frontier OF petty
princes country. The Herr ODER Con-
troleur at the custom house came for
ward and, much to his Indignation, was
received In a nonchalent way.
The Yankee was ungentlemanly
enough not to get out Of the carriage, or
even to take or his hat. The Herr ODER
sharply demanded the keys of the tou-
rist's trunks, which his subordinate be-
gan handling roughly.
Here, hands orr shouted the Amer
lean. 81 didn't come from the United
