PLANS FOR \ CYCLE TRACK.
Organization of an Association to
Build One Expected soon.

Organization of AN Association to
Build One Expected soon.
The wheelmen who are back of the
scheme TO build cycle racing track and
coliseum on the base bail grounds on Boz
ton street have not made beginning in
the way Of organization yet, but The idea
has by no means been abandoned.
The plan has met with favorable 'consid-
Grafton from ali active wheolmen who nave
been approached on the matter, and it Is
probable that steps will be taken to or
game an association which VIII build and
control the track. There would be great
deal Of work in this, and the difficulty is
in getting some one TO do this part OF The
work. Several wheeImen are wIhng to aid
financially and some are willing to give
what assistance they can in other ways,
but all OF them are leary about taking the
responsibility OF the task of organization.
If the track is built it is the intention of
the promoters to build it in such a way
thar the base bail diamond viii not be dis
turbed, or, If it is, the track Will DE built
SO as 10 admit OF a diamond being placed
in the center OF the track. 1t would also be
possible, in this case, 10 use the field for
foot bah games, Tor it is thought that sa-
vannah VIII have an eleven in the field this
season. Al least enthusiasts are already
talking of getting up one In fact, the park
would be d general athletic ground, where
exhibitions of sports OF all kinds could be
he'd
The track would be a board one, which
is said by experts co be faster than the ce-
menL track. one of the gentlemen who
is interested in the movement said yester-
day that he thought the track would be
a quarter-mie, but it is doubtful if a
quarter-mile track could be built. A sixth
of-a-mile track, built oblong, would seem
to be more practica BILE. The grandstands
and bleachers would, of course, have TO
be moved.
The Savannah Base Ball Club Associa-
ton, which controlled the Savannah Base
BAH CLUB, leased the park from the Cath
Ole Library Association for a year, but
the lease Will expire some time next spring
or summer. The base ball people, it is
said, are anxious to join with the wheel
men in building a general athletic park,
the principal part OF which Will be a cycle
track.
1t would take from $3.50 to $500 to build
track such as is proposed; that is, to
build the track itself and make whatever
changes and improvements are necessary
in the present stands and bleachers. One
of the plans proposed is to organize a
stock company and sell shares for SIS.
The amount needed could probably be cas-
lily raised in this way. Another plan is to
sell season tickets emitting the holder to
admission to che park and use OF the
grounds at any time during the year, ex-
cept when exhibitions are being held.
Ing Kinsey and w. H. Connery, two of
SaYannah's professional riders, have reg
istered with the racing board of the
League of American Wheelmen. 1t is nee
essary now for every professional racing
man to register with the league and to
pay a yearly tax of 81.

NEVER GIVES UP ITS DEAD.
Lake Superior Keeps It's Victims In
the Depths of It's waters.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.


Lake Superior never gives up its dead.
Whoever encounters terrible disaster
happily infrequent in the tourist season
and goes down in the angry, beautiful
blue waters. never comes up again. From
those earliest days when the daring
French voyagers in their rim birch bark
canoes skirted the picturesque shores OF
this noble but relentless lake down to this
present moment, those who have met
their deaths in mid-Superior still lie at
the stone-paved bottom. II may be that,
so very cold is the water, some Of their
bodies may have been preserved through
centuries. Sometimes, not far from shore,
the bodies of people who have been wreck

been recovered. but only after the most
heroic efforts with drag net or by the

A sUFFERER's COMPLAINT.
The Police Should Put stop to In
decent Language on the Streets.


decent Language on the Streets.
Editor Morning News An aggressive
campaign against the use of boisterous
and indecent language in the streets of sa-
vannah should be engaged in. This epe-
cies of barbarism has long since passed
the nuisance stage and IS now a stencil.
Residents on the more frequented thor
oughfares are compelled to listen to some
very vulgar language at times, and often
are aroused from slumber by lot of loaf
ing bucks" who are out for no good.
The worst offenders in this respect are
street-walkng negro women. Next in Or
der comes the black bucks" and not a
few whites. The latter are very profane
and seem devoid of all idea of self-respect.
The streets are public thoroughfares,
but this gives no one a license to indulge
in conduct that Is disturbing 10 others. A
great many cities are waging a relentless
war on street cursing. Such a thing
should commence here. The police can
put a stop TO the noise and cursing. All
they will have to do Is TO secret themselves
In some doorway, and in few moments
they viii be Witnesses 10 the promiscuous
and indecent cursing on the streets of Sa-
yannah all hours of the day and night.
II is not pleasant while sitting on ones
piazza in the evening TO be compelled to
hear indecent language from the streets
and unless the police do something in this
direction. citizens win be justified in arm
ing themselves with air guns and shoot
ing directly after the foul-mouth street
walkers. zone Of the Sufferers"

Why the Buffalo Had to ae.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, in writing about the wholesale killing of buffalo. says: After the hides were removed the car cass would be poisoned m many cases, some yearling buffalo being generally selected, and next inurning there might be found 10 or 50 dead wolves Iying scattered around. victims Of the strych- nine. In this way the large game was rapidly destroyed, together Wi n count less numbers of wolves that had inrived only by proving upon them. This piight seem like cruelty and wasteful extravagance. but the buffalo, iike the Indian, stood in tine way of civilization and the path of progress. and the de- cree had gone forth hat they must give way. IL was impossible to herd domes- tic stock in Il country where they were constantly liable to be stampeded by the moving herds cf wild animals. The same territory which quarter of a century ago was supporting ,huse vast herds of wild game is now sustaining millions of domestic animals which af- ford the food supply to hundreds of millions of people in civilized eoun- tries."-St. Louis Republic.

CHICAGO, March 29.--A Washington special to the News says;
 There is only one chance in hun dred that war will be averted. Such was the remark this afternoon of one of the most prominent members of the cabinet who has been conspicuous as n peacemaker.
 Private Secretary to the President Porter said this afternoon that the president has determined to settle the issne this week. and message is looked for tomorrow.
 "rhs president" said Mir. Porter, ''is tired of the criticism of Congress. He will ask Congress to do one of two things either take the question and settle it in its own way, or leave the executive free aud untrammeled. The president feels that he cannot be blamed and criticized. Congress planes him for not acting and indulges in war talk when be is doing his best 10 avert war. The talk in Congress interferes with negotiations looking to peace"
 There is scarcely doubt that Con gress in its prescott temper will declare war. It Is expected that tomorrow will see the president unload to Con gress the entire situation, and without making a recommendation leav. the legislative branch of the government to work out the problem in its own way

 This interesting story of the royal perhaps because it is so very unlike. Once there was little woman who lived across the street, and. as we are often more or less the victim of the people across the street-the people who watch our doings with their noses flattcned against window panes or concealed be- hind lace drapcries-that little woman now becomes my victim in this story.
 She was 40 and newly married, and q baby had been to her an ideal since the days when she played with dolls and dressed them in finery to eclipse all the dolls in the town. recpH the wonder ful layette prepared for this baby that had been lifelong ideal. Never until the account of the royal Russian baby's have I ever conceived of aught more elaborate. The baby was somewhat of u disappointment 10 the mother. It was . pathetic, unhappy, unframed, scrawny-looking representative of the
 
 baby the mother had in her mind. But, bless you, the mother love soon trans formed it into an ideal, and made it the possessor of infinite baby graces, and then there were all its clothes, lace crea- tions all tied in ribbons, ard not an ar ticle that was the least bit common place. The trunk full of clothes was the greatest comfort in the world to that motEer.
 Every day she dressed the baby three times, and tried on its tiny finger rings, and put on it's three o'clock loclSet every afternoon. Every time that wretched baby had on a clean dress it grew more limp and more listless. One day she told one of the ncighbors from across the street that she anticipated taking the baby to Ohio to sec its grandmother. !ss this was said in the presence of the persecuted baby, shall always think that he reflected upon the number of times he would have to exhibit the lace gowns, and then, as the easiest way out the difficulty, he just laid down and died.
 When the neighbors from across the street called to express their sympathy, the heart-brokcn mother was sad and hopeless heap in the middle of the floor, surrounded by that fateful layette. As sine gathered up lace garment to dry her tears, she sobbed aloud:
 And -- to---think we--were--go- ing to - Ohio--only next week --and - now - my = mother-will- --see--its-clothes!"
 And some way I thought that baby heard.-N. Y. Recorder.
