Battery sea wall that have seen so many
people looking seward for 80 many ships

the big park can be visited or East Los
Angeles easily reached. The cycleway
can also be left at that station to go to
Eastlake park or onto the proposed Pasa-
dena boulevard.
From the Pasadena terminus to Avenue
50 or Swain street, the right of way has
been secured, the surveys made and the
bridge work plans all drawn. but the
cycleway will only be built to Merlemount
park for this winter, as 1t is desired to
complete the remaining three and half
miles at one time. so as to connect the
plaza with Merlemount park and avoid
having a terminus at Swain street and
Pasadena avenue for season, as would
otherwise be necessary.
The cycleway will be nine feet wide, Of

heavy bridge work. Tar and beach sand
will make surface on the planking like
asphalt and as hard and smooth. The rail-
ing on each side will be five feet high and
slope outward eighteen inches, thus maxi

medical practice, that which yields him the
deepest qualification is that he has been able
to cope successfully with those delicate and
complicated diseases which render the lives
of so many women miserable.
OF all his remarkable contributions to
medical science his marvellous "Favorite
Prescription" for women's complaints
stands easily foremost in the world among
remedies of its class. 1t has brought more
perfect relief to suffering women, and
through them has conferred greater benefit
upon their offspring than any other medi-
cine ever invented, and probably more than
all other medicines combined.
The "Favorite Prescription" contains no
alcohol, opium or other narcotics; no false
or uncertain stimulus; does not create
craving for Injurious stimulants: the power
it gives is the power Of nature; 1t imparts
energy and nerve-tone that is real. healthy

The cycleway will be supported by tolls
and the profits from renting wheels, motor
cycles. swimming baths and Merlemount

A small toll will be charged. Those buy
ing tickets in packages will have to pay
only cents each way or 10 cents for round
trip, and every shareholder will be entitled
to an annual pass for each share. The in
tention Is to sell one-thrd Of the shares to
wheelmen and others who may wish to in
vest in them and the par value of each
share is but $50. Most of the stock Is al
ready subscribed for and one-third of the
total capitalization is already paid in. The
stock Is guaranteed by trust company.

AS the cycleway will be used as much in
the evening as during the day, it will be
supplied with incandescent electric lights
about a hundred feet apart, while the pa
vilion at Merlemount is to be a blaze of
colored electric lights. From It's lofty po-
sition the cycle path will be visible for miles
in the night, as we'll as in the daytime.
The average elevation of the path will be
about 16 feet above the ground, the lowest
elevation three feet and the highest fifty

will be of steel, all the rest of the cycleway
is to be of wood bridge work.

Fully forty thousand bicycles are owned
and used within a radius of ten miles from
the city hall of Los Angeles. In Pasadena
alone there are about four thousand BIZ
cycles. Recognizing these facts, Horace
NJ Dobbins of South Pasadena, an enthusi-
astic wheelman, and young man of large
means, came to the conclusion over two
years ago that If there was proper cycle
path between Los Angeles and Pasadena,
doing away with the big hills, thousands of
wheelmen and wheelwomen would use such
a path every Sunday TO reach the fine riding
country towards Monrovia and the far
famed Baldwin ranch at Santa Anita, as
we'll as to reach Pasadena.
This was the original idea. The next
problem was how to make 1t possible to get
such q path built. Finally 1t was decided
to make the path n private enterprise and
charge small toll 1t was therefore neces-
sary to build the very best kind of cycle
path to make It popular. All kinds of OBJ
stacles were soon discovered.
By elevating the cycleway the whole dis
lance between this city and Pasadena an

dyke.
Work on the cycleway will be begun as
soon as the South Pasadena franchise Is
obtained and the remaining pieces Of right
of-way closed up, which will not take very
long.
President Dobbins says 1t is the expecta-
ton of the company to have the first six
and a half miles and the park in operation
by the time the tourists reach here this
winter and that the cycleway would have
been done in time for the past winter If the
right-of-way and franchises had not been
so hard to obtain. Condemnation proceed

high, with steep Turkish roof and a roomy
basement. The level of the floor will be
200 feet higher than the bed of the Arroyo
Seco opposite and 100 feet above the main
cycleway.

may be seen from the pavilion, while over
three miles of the path will be visible from
the wide verandas. The style of the pavilion
Is to be modified Turkish with oval ends.
The main path runs west of the pavilion
and hundred feet lower, while the forks
circle around east of the pavilion into Mer-
lemount park where the swimming baths
will be located as we'll as many other inter-
esting features.
At the south end of the pavilion there will
be big cycle rack for the wheels and con-
veniences for making slight repairs, blow
ing up tires, etc. The general cafe will be
at the north end, with dining rooms to-
wards the center Of the building. There Is
to be large parlor for the ladies, supplied
with all conveniences and with large OBJ
servatory windows, field glasses, etc. The
gentlemen will have rooms in the basement
where they can wash. clean UP and tell
stories of their centuries ad infinitum.
Average Grade and Notes
The average grade of the cycleway Is to
be about N per cent, while the maximum
is only per cent, and that at Garvanza
mountain, where the thirty-foot cut and
fifty foot bridge occurs. AS this is on land
owned by the company it can be cut down
on the thousand feet long cut with bridges
on each side.

are beginning to find time to talk OF
what they have done. A superintend-

graph says: Rarely. if ever, was there
more important document in the his

tie is known of the personality of the
absolute autocrat Of 130,00O,OOO living
beings. Up to the time of his Access
sion to the throne on Nov. !, 1894, he
lived largely in retirement. CCnse-
quently people waited with some ankle
ty for some act that would enable them
to form an opinion Of him. One OF his
first acts was to dismiss the police
guards of all sorts charged with the
duty Of attending to his personal pro
lection. Nicholas H. is beyond doubt
man of courage. He inherited this
virtue from his grandfather. He is a
fatalist, and believes that the hour Of
a mans death is fixed in the designs OF
God. At the beginning Of his reign,
he made the following noble declara-
ton: Il want to live and to die for
Russia It matters little to me where
or how | may meet my death" In
spite Oh MS courage, however, the poS-
sibility of a nihilist outrage is always
present in his mind. The dismissal of
the police guard nevertheless created
an excellent impression upon the sub
jects of the car. William T. Stead in
character sketch of the young ruler,
says:
Little is known of the czar but what
is good. He was reared in a home
which was a model of the domestic
virtues, and both father and mother
united their efforts to train him up in
the path which seemed good in their
minds. What that path was we can
well understand by glancing at the his
tory of the late reign. Alexander III.
was cautious, pacific, truth-speaking
man, who was devoted to his country
and to his church, who troubled him
self little about specuations either in
church or state. He was a man with
out ambitions other than the discharge
of his duty, and he ever labored under

Trailed Across Two Continents.
st. Louis, Oct. 31.-After chase
across two continents, Lambert Wilt,
chief comptroller of the Bunglau Saw
ngs bank at Bungbunzlau, Bohemia,
with his wife and her aunt, was ar.
rested at the Hotel Roseacre today, on
the charge of having absconded with
10000 guldens, equivalent to S41, APO.
The arrest was made by Chicago de-
iective at the instigation of V. Zsem-
slSie, piano dealer at 642 Blue Island
avenue, Chicago, who is a stakeholder
and western agent for the Burglar
bank, and who had been instructed to
search for Wilt.
Wilt has been married one year and
IS 3s years old. His father is a pros
porous merchant in Bungbunzlau. On
Aug. s, Wilt and his wife, accompanied
by her aunt, Blaja Mullie, left home
on a vacation for his health They
travelled through Austria and came to
America, landing at IIobollen Oct. 3,
where he wired his mother of their ar
rival. Meanwhile the bank officials had
discovered shortage of 100000 gull
dens and were searching for Wilt. His
message home gave them a clue that
he was in America, and they notified
their western agent.

1t is said that Nicholas H. detests
luxury, especially at the table The
breakfasts at his court are made up OF
the simplest courses, and few guests
are invited. When attending official
feasts he cannot help but give evidence
of WEAKNESS, but when among init
mates he likes to joke and to laugh.
Contempt for etiquette is remarkable
in all his habits. Alexander Ill. went

father had the streets through which
he passed guarded by cavalry. Mich

most of the time the police are utterly
ignorant Of the course the imperial
carriage will take. The etiquette Of
the court is also less severe under the
present car than under his predeces-
sor. Everybody can approach the
sovereign. Nicholas H. is an ardent
believer in the education of the masses,
and it is said that he will win the title
