is surprised, probably, to find this out:
but if she keeps a. wheeling she will
learn that she is every bit as strong as

She can develop physical powe~ quite

CONVICT LABOR.

The disposition shown by several States to make use of the labor of conviets for the betterment of all classes is becoming popular one.
 It has always been . question Of much discussion as to what could be done with convict labor, and how such could be utilized without am tagonizing the efforts of intelligent American labor. Mississippi thought the problem could be solved and operated farms throughout the State, the revenues derived from them last year being $40, ,000. The State bought 8, GOO acres of land and rented or leased as much more, and on this land it's 900 conviets were worked. This is humane way of punishment and operates substan- tially to the States good. The re- suit has not, however, been satisfac= tory from aa outside point of view Many Of the Mississippi farmers de clare that convict labor is thus brought into competition with honest agriculture, and so the Leg islature has decided that another change must be made The only thing left to do and by far the most sensible and satisfactory is to put the convict labor to work on roads. Good roads will last and reflect credit in the industry of the State. We'll built and cared for highways more than anything else build up community. They add m appear oaee of thrift, promote traffic and give the country Q look of pros perity. It is after all the best use that convict labor can be put to, as in building roads the least objection to labor is offered. Memphis Her aid.

ONE OF WILSON'S CAPTAINS.
A New Yorker Commanded n British Ship
 In the Rattle of the Nile.

The fifth ship was the Thesens, Cap tain Ralph Willett Miller. This gentle- man, whom after his premature death Nelson styled ''the only truly yirtuous man ever know, was by birth New Yorker, whose family had been loyalists during the American Revolution A let ter from him to his wife gives an ae- count of the fight which is at once among the most vivid and from the professional standpoint the most satis- factory of those which have been trans. mitted to us, Of tho Theseus' entrance into the battle he says:
 In running along the enemy's line in the wake of tho Healous and Goliath, I observed their shot sweep just over us. And knowing well that at such mo. ment Frenchmen would not hayo cool ness enough to change their elevation, closed them suddenly, and, running under the arch of their shot, reserved my fire, every gun being loaded with two and some with three round shot until had the Guerrier' s masts in Q line and her jibboom about six feet clear Oi Out lAS,&liEs Rt tliNb AlituVQ N Atu such effect that a second breath could not be drawn before her main and mig zen masts were also gone. This was pre- cisely at sunset, or Al minutes past 6. Then passing between her and the Zeal ous and as close as possible round the off side of the Goliath. we anchored by the stern exactly in line with her and abreast the spartiate. We had not been many minutes i'll action with the Spar tiate when we observed one of our ships (and soon after knew her to be the Van guard, place herself So directly opposite to us on the outside of her that desist- ed firing on her. that l might not do mischief to our friends, and directed eV- cry gun before the mainmast on tho Aquilon (fourth Freneh) and all abaft it on the Conquerant, giving ID my proper bird to the admiral.

140 Centuries. of Which 3S were Bou- bIe Centuries-ue Followed the Good Weather.
 Tho years bicycle miteage record medal will no doubt be awarded to E N. Roth of the Clarendon Wheelmen of Chicago, who on New Years eye, in q driving rainstorm, completed one of the greatest year. t rides of history--a ride that will stand unohallenged for many years to como.
 Roth rode B., 380 miles in $40 days, m average of over t0t miles each day for the entire timo. He travelled over dozen states in making this ride and followed the good weather throughout the country.
 He started Jan. 25 and finished Dec. 31 at midnight. In this time he rode 146 centuries all told, of which number 32 were double, or 200 miles, and one q triple century, 300 miles in 28 hours.
 His greatest months mileage was 4, 1000 miles and over. He did not know today the exact distance
 His claims to the Century Road club call for the following:
 The individual mileage medal of America.
 The Illinois state mileage medal.
 Tho century record of several states.
 Tho 200 mile record of 14 hours and 35 minutes,
 The 800 mile record of 9 hours fiat
 The 24 hour record of 300 miles, with many others.
 The claims have to be sent on by exs press, owing to thoir volume.
 Roth has ridden ono wheel the entire season, with but one acoident-a broken rim. He has ridden but two sets of tires, wearing one out on railread tracks He had one punoture inst before he reached the 10, GOO mile mark, for which mark he was striving without punctur. ing.
 His wheel weighed 25 pounds, thu tires weighing five pounds. Ho uses neither tobacco nor liquors and gained ten pounds i'll the season.
 Tho nearest competitor to Roth is O'Connor of the Chicago Cycling club, who has IS, 225 miles to his credit The old record for year was made by Hansen, the Rainmaker of Minneapolis, who made 21, 029 miles in 1894
 Roth rode ill Texas, Colorado and in Illinois and all the neighboring states.
 There can ba not the slightest doubt of the entire authenticity of the rjdes owing to the applications being so very thorough.

Tho commercial treaty between Aus, tria and Bulgaria which was on the point of being negotiated at the time when Prince Ferdinand mado his hum- ble submission to the ezar, and which has hung fire ever since, is finally about to receive signature and ratification. Bulgaria has only obtained this by means of sacrificing number of de- mands which Austria had formerly con- sented to ooncede, but which she now refuses to grant Inasmuoh, however, as most other countries had declined to ratify their new treaties of commerce with Bulgaria until that with Austria had been arranged, there was practical Iy no other course open to Prince Ferdi- nand The treaty with Austria provides for a general Bulgarian duty of 14 per cent ad valorem, while 26 specified ar- tioles are excepted. These include tim Der and agricultural machines, which pay S per cent; glassware, 19 per cent, and sugar, IS per cent.

Tho report of the Russian prisons de- partment has just appeared in St. Pc tersburg and contains some remarkable statistics. It appears that there are 870 prisons in Asiatic and European Rus sia, with the total number of 100, 913 prisoners. The maintenance of this vast army of criminals, many of whom are merely political offenders, involves an enormous cost, for which adequate pro- vision is not made by the state. The consequence is that in the majority of cases the inmates of the prison have to endure the worst conceivable sanitary conditions, and the official figures, which are invariably optimistic, show that no less than 30 per cent of the pris- on population suffer during the year from typhoid fever and kindred epidem. ics.
