TO EXCLUDE WOMEN.
New York WheeImen Want to Limit
Century Runs to Men.

New York, March 21.-Enorts recent
ly made to exclude women from century
runs have caused much comment in
cycling circles.
The prevailing sentiment seems to be
with those cyclists who, from expert
ence, advocate drawing the line against
women and children, purely on the score
of liability to injury in overtaxing the
strength
They argue, too, that even if a wom-
an is physically able to ride on a long,
hurried trip, she does not present an
inspiring picture in the midst of a trav-
Ell stained pack of men bent on complet-
ing hundred miles within specified
time.
The action of the Associated Cycling
clubs in refusing to pass a resolution
tending to secure the cooperation of all
the clubs in the organization in a
movement to confine long runs to men
was perhaps the best move under the
circumstances. In adopting such a pro-
vision without the clubs being fully in
formed of its purpose would have been
hasty and undoubtedly against the
wishes of the majority in some clubs.
AS the matter now stands, the dele
gates will have ample time in which to
acquaint the members of their clu BIS
with the objects of the resolution, and
they can act at the next meeting under

REGULATE BARBER SHOPS.
Movement to Place Them in Charge
Of the Board of Health.


St. Louis, March 21.-The barber
shops of st. Louis may be placed under
the regulations of the health depart
ment. Certain physicians think that
the indiscriminate use of the BARRIERS
comb and brush is responsible for much
of the baldheadedness seen in the front
rows OF the playhouse, and if their
wishes in the matter are respected a
great change is imminent in the prac-
tice Of the tonsorial art
DR.. I. n. Love is convinced that the
prevailing badness of heads among
men is due largely to the scattering of
microbes, which are destructive to the
life of mans head covering, through the
promiscuous use of hair brushes in bar
Der shops and toilet rooms used exclus-
lively by men.
Let the barber know that he should
never have a shop that is not literally
supplied at all times with boiling hot
water" says DR.. Love. His inStru-
mentS of torture, razOrS. etc, invaria-
bly,, before and after using, should be
submerged in boiling water, as there is
no better germ killer; and he should
discard razOrs with handles of bone,
cellulOid and tortoise shell.
Each patron should be advised to
have his own individual comb and hair
brush, as well as shaving cup and
brush. To give feelings of security,
confidence and comfort to his victims,
every barber should scrub his hands
with soap, scrubbing brush and hot
water before attempting to shave"
DR.. Love thinks the board of health
might look into this matter, with a view
to seeing that the prescription is accur-
ately filed, taken in sufficiently large
doses and repeated at regular intervals
throughout all time

MRS. THURSTON'S FUNERAL
All Omaha Turns Out to Pay Tribute
to the Dead.

Omaha, Neb., March 21-The body of
the late Mrs. John NJ. Thurston was
followed to the grave by a tremendous
cOncOurse of people yesterday after
noon. All Omaha was out and many
from Nebraska and other states were
in attendance. The body was brought
from Washington in a special car.
At the house private services were
held, after which the casket was remOv-
ed to All Saints church. Rev. Dr.
Thomas J. Mackay presided over the
rendition of the Protestant Episcopal
ritual for the burial of the dead. In his
sermon the minister referred feeIingly
to the mission of Mrs. Thurston to Gu
ba, which cost her life. He paid a high
tribute to her character as a woman
man inspiration that led her to accom-
pany her husband on the trip from
which he returned to bury her.

proffered the use of cars, locomotives,

that, themselves had their connections

The National Guard.

The following, from Press and Printer, of Boston, an organ of the printing and publishing fraternity, discusses the po- sition of the National Guardman, who, Tn the present emergency, refuses to volunteer.

It re- | lates to the refusal of many privates in State service 10 volunteer in the service of the United States. In some inStarceS whole com panics bat;alions, even regiments, have re- flu ed. It str kes me that such men should be summUrily discharged from the service and except under mitigating circumstances of an extraordinary nature, should be treated with public ScOrn.

The Canal and the Islands.
New York Journal.


 Since the Oregon's 3,000-mile voyage from California to join Admlraf Samp- sons fleet everybody understands why the Nicaraguan Canal should be cut It is now made obvious to the dullest intelligence that a waterway which would reduce the voyage from San Francisco to New York nearly 10 GOO miles Tn distance and six weeks in time is necessary for the proper defense of the country. The commercial import ance of the canal is also comprehepded by all who have giimmer rofknowledge concerning trade needs and possibili- ties in the Pacific.
 But there are some who, confessing the naval value of the canal, and ad- mlttlng it's power as a developer of national wealth, still fail to connect it in thelr minds with Hawaiian. annex ation.
 Without the canal possession of the islands is to be earnestly deslred for military and commercial reasons. We have the word of every naval expert who has written on the subject in SUD- port of that proposition.
 With the canal. the reasons for Haw- allan annexation become enormously strengthened. For the banks of the canal will be new United States coast line to defend, and the increased facil- ity which it will confer for the transfer of our warships from the Atlantic te the Pacific will render the irabIlity of a mid-oceanic base prOportlonately clear. And every ton ot shipping that the canal will add to our trade must give ton of emphasis to the existing argu- ments for the requirement of the Flaw Siian halfway house.
 To open the canal and not to have the islands in our possession would be equivalent to refusing place of -ren- dezvous and supply for our navy-a coIgn of vantage insuring the safety of our Pacific coast-and to declining an American port on the hi hway over which the trade with Australasia and the Orient must take it's enriching way.

Surgical Operation.

On last Sunday, the 9th inst, pr. w. E. Platt, assisted by pr. Charles Jarvis
 and a corps of nurses, ampatated the right leg of George Coleman. The ope- ration vas performed at the residence of J. N. Haywood, of this place, broth er-in-law of the patient. The time consumed in the whole operation was one hour, and was entirely successful. The patient had suffered for many years from carries of the bone of the lower portion of the right leg, the re- suit ofan injury when quite young, and every resource known to medical sci ence had been resorted to without per manent relief. A portion of the large bone was removed by specialist. in Salt Lake city, some years since, but no permanent cure was the result: besides from the knee down the limb was al- most useless. Dr. Plalt decided that an amputation was absolutely neces- sary, hence the operation. George re- covered from the effects of the chloro- form administered before the operation, recovered from the initial shock, and now is in fair way to speedy rec"v- prv
