KELLEY is DEAD.
The Inventor of the Motor Carries His

died from the effects OF pneumonia to-
day. at his home in this city. He was
taken i'll saturday last and continued
to grow steadily worse until his death.
Mr. Kelley was sixty-one years of
age, and leaves widow. He was ma
tive OF this city. His education was
meager. and at an early age he became
a carpenter. following that trade until
1872
1t was in that year that he announced
the discovery OF a new force by which
motive power would be revolutionized.
Following this he constructed what has
become known as the Kelley motor.
November 10. 1874, he gave the first
public exhibition before a number of
capitalists and scientists, who advanced
100000 to enable him to perfect his
discovery and apply the principle
Since then large sums of money have
been expended on experiments without
any practical public results. Between
1874 and 1881 Kelley constructed and
discarded 129 different models.

Plans for Next season.

The A. r. C. U. has given up the
championship table for this season
and has agreed that the champion OF
'9S must be determined by public opin-
ion. For the coming season and for
all future time until some better meth
cd Is devised fo- determining a cham
pion, the circuit chasers have decided
to adopt the old points score in vogue
before the L. A. w. adopted its own
style-the four, two and one basis of
determining champion The situa-
tion has been further complicated by
the fact that Kimble, by his work in
the increased points championship
which Promoter Dunlop insisted on
running at Cape Girardeau, would be
at the top of the points table had 1t
been continued on the plan of the
racing board. Among the racing men
themselves. however, and among the
lovers of the sport. it is generally con-
ceded that Gardiner of Chicago is the
real all around competitive champion
of the season of '9s. The riders union
proposes grand circuit of fifteen
weeks for next season, with the points
counted in all open races upon the
basis of four, two and one, for firsts,
seconds and thirds, the championship
to be decided during the brief season
of competitive work rather than during
a period extending from May Is to

Admiral Dewey has Informed the
Navy Department that he has con
tracted with Hong Kong firm of

the ships and putting them in thor
ough repair will be S50o,000.
The vessels to be raised are gun
boats of large type. and in the opinion
of Chief Constructor Hickborn they
will be the best kind of craft for the
protection of the United States inter

Washington. ID. c., Nov. 1S.-News
OF a mixed character came to the Navy
Department to-day from Admiral Dew
ey, touching the situation in the Phil
ippines.
The admiral sent two of his warships
the Charleston and the Concord
some time ago, south from Manila, 10
ascertain whether there was truth in
the reports that the insurgents had eN-
pended their activity in thar direction.
To-day he cabled as follows.
Manila, Nov. IS, 1S9S.-Secretary of
the Navy, Washington: Charleston
and Concord arrived to-day from Iioilo.
Glass reports that the entire island of
Panay is in possession of Insurgents.
except lloiio, which is defended by 500
Spanish troops.
'All foreign citizens there beg for
American protection The island of
Negros has declared Independence and
desires American protectorate.
DEWEY"
Glass Is the commander of the
Charleston. So far nothing has been
done by the administration toward
curbing the insurgents in their opera
tions. save verbal representations from
the American commanders to Aguinal-
do, in which II has been pointed out 10
him that it would be good policy in
view Of the probability of the annexa-
tion Of the islands by the United States
to pursue a course that would not be
obnoxious TO the United States.
The situation Is now realized to he
critical. So far as the Spaniards are
concerned, perhaps they can be left 10
take care of themselves, but the for

The difficulty In the situation is, that
with the best Intentions TO intervene
to protect the Europeans and other for
eigners and TO save the city of Iloilo,
the second in Importance in the Philip
pine group, from looting, the Emitted
States forces appear TO be stopped un-
der the rules of war from moving from
their positions. Such Is the construc-
ton placed upon the clause In the pro-
tocol relating to the suspension of hos
tilities
The Immediate effect of this state of
affairs may be 10 hasten action in
the Paris conference, for II is ouly by
the termination OF that tribunal that
the United States can come to the re-
lief Of the beleagured Spaniards in IL
oilo and other points.

omy in production, as 1t is cheaper TO
manufacture a heavy bicycle frame
than a light one when the same degree
of rigidity is insisted upon in both the
conflict of requirements which arises
between the public's desire Tor
strength. rigidity, light weight ana
easy riding and the manufacturers de-
sire for adding weight has reached a
climax this season which forebodes
capitalization of public opinion in one
direction or another before long.
s.nce 1895 weights have been in
creasing, ostensibly to satisfy de-
mand for rigidity and safety, but the
public does not seem quite contented
with the experiment. Weights nave
been carried up to 2S or even 80
pounds. but the. public opinion has
halted at "a pounds or even less, and
does not seem to appreciate any in
crease of safety accomplished or said
to be accomplished by exceeding this
weight. The question for the trade
to decide is whether the point has
been reached where sales are endan-
gered by using frames, fittings and
equipments of this years patterns ana
weights. or where sales may be pro-
NOTED by making a change toward
greater lightness. In the fall of 1897
there was for some time a pronounced
doubt in this respect among manufac-
turers. but 1t was stiied in favor OF
economy. 1t is arising again and is
growing in intensity.

Gowns Which Cost $500.

The gowns that Lady Curzon, of Ked-
lestown, has ordered in Paris to take
out to India with her have been topic
of serious discussion in England and
France, and have divided honors with
the Nile question. Such an order was
never placed with the great dressmakers
before; not even by any OF the grand
ladies of Russia, who are noted for their
semi barbaric splendor of rainent. The
bills for these superb creations will
amount to $4,000, some of the gowns
costing 50, 500 each. There are forty
dresses and carriage cloaks, capes, hats
and laces, but this bill does hot inciuie
the lingerie nor the jewels which are be-
| Jag purchased. Such splendor has new
er been shown to the Indian Court, and
never has such beautiful woman gone
