Mike DIVERS Rich Find.

"Thief catching Is as much an accident
as it is an art" SAID an officer of the Lou
isville police department, according to an
exchange. II remember an incident in the
career of Mike Dwyer, now dead, who was
once on the Louisville police force. Dwyer
was one of those queer fellows for whose
actions no one could account. But he was
a good policeman. On this particular &C.
casion Dwyer was standing in front Of an
East End saloon--one of the worst of the
red-light dent, where prize fights
were pulled off in the rear
room, and from which SUSPECT
Gus stories were always emauating
His helmet stood over his eyes, aud most
people would have sworn he was asleep
While he stood apparently unconscious
of everything around him, man. heavily
bearded, with a SLOUGH hat drown over his
eyes and a valise in his hand stepped out
As he passed Dwyer the policeman reach
ed out and laid his hand on the mans
shoulder
What have you got in that valise?
asked the officer.
That is none of your business an
swered the bearded man.
We will see about that responded
Dwyer. Come to the station house with
me-
There Dwyer was dumfounded to learn
that he had arrested Miles Ogle, the most
notorious counterfeiter in the country. His
valse contained S4OO in counterfeit bills
Ogle died some time ago in the Columbus
(Ohio) penitentiary."

A Close shave.

The horrible accident to two Pennsyl-
vania women who were walking over
railway trestle when they were overtaken
and run down by a train, says the Phil
adelphia Press recalls a thrilling expert
ence through which a Philadelphia pass
ed last winter. He had often read of the
grandeur of the White mountains when
they were covered by snow and ice, and he
decided to make a trip through them. 1t
was about noon when he reached the de-
pot near the foot of Mt. Washington, and
as a train would not go southwark until 6
O'Clock, he concluded to walk through the
Crawford Notch. He had his first hair
raising adventure in the Gate of the Notch
He was half way through when a north
bound freight appeared around the curve
al the other end. There was no time to
reach the open end and the snow was
packed so closely to the rocks of both sides
that there were ridges where the sides
of the cars had scraped as they passed.
Death seemed inevitable but there was
little space alongside the rails and into
this he crawed, lying on his side to make
himself as small as possible. The next
moment the train was laundering past.
the wheels passing within an inch of his
body. Had he moved Il muscle he would
certainly have been mangied to death. He
said afterward he thought that train must
have been at least 100 miles long.

The Student Volunteers are certain to
have at Cleveland next month by far the
largest gathering of mission workers ever
held in this or any other country. Official
delegates will be present from almost ev-
cry country one can name, including Su-
matra. Ceylon, Thibet and other out-of-
the-way spots. Those who imagine the
missionary spirit to be on the decline
should take account of the fact that 5000
young men are at this moment waiting to
be sent abroad to preach and teach Christ.
and TO sacrifice their lives without hope
of worldly reward OF the 12OOO mission
workers now on the foreign field about
1000 have gone out under volunteer rec
ommendation. The purpose of the Cleve-
land meeting is TO arouse further inter-
est in missions and to help contributions
to mission funds. The reason that effort
is continued while so many volunteers are
unable TO go from lack of funds, is to in
duce, IL possible, individual churches to
which volunteers belong to raise the funds
required to support them in the field.

SOUTHERN LEAGUES AFFAIRS.
POSSIBILITY THAT ATLANTA
WILL YET BE A MEMBER.

Atlanta Enthusiasts Trying to Patch
Up an Agreement Between the
Railway People and the Directors
Charleston VIII Hardly Stay if At
lanta Is Out-Frank Butler to Play
With DetrOit-The Passing of An
Son-MObiIe Signing Men.
The Southern League is still in an un-
settled condition owing to the withdrawal
of Atlanta, and as yet President Powers
has taken no steps to call the league to-
gether to arrange the circuit. President
Powers dilatory course cannot be under
but two months before the playing season
viii lbe here and there is yet much work
in the way of organization to be done In
stead of profting by experience of disas-
trous late organization In former years the
same dilatory course is pursued, and if
something it not done soon the result can
be expected. .-t
Notwithstanding the announcement of
the Atlanta directors, that Atlanta was
positively out of the league, it seems that
there is still possibility of the Gate City
having team, though it is by no means
a probability. Some of the enthusiasts
of Atlanta are now working to try and eff
feet some agreement between the direc-
tors and the street railway people whereby
Atlanta may be in the league
The dropping out of Atlanta will be a
serious blow to the eastern clubs and may
cause the breaking up Of the league With
Atlanta out Charleston would have the
longest kind of jumps to make and tour
o. the circuit would mean a jump from
from Charleston TO New Orleans, or New
Orleans to Charleston. This would never
do, as the railroad expenses would eat
up the profits and the league would never
stand. President Passailaigue will not an
nounce the position of the Charleston
Club until il is definitely decided that Az
lanta is out. Ii is not thought, however
that Charleston will remain infthe league
if Atlanta is out
Mr.. John Mcclure, the owner of the Sa-
vannah franchise, is so confident that Sa-
vannah is one of the best base ball towns
in the country that he will stand with
any of the other cities that think they
can form a league which will stand a
chance of success
No sane man win deny, however thar
with Atlanta out Savannah would be con,
siderably weakened, and il is a question,
If Il would not be bad venture to put

With ordinary care a good bicycle will

mechanical devices as a bicycle can main

fact, and devotes sufficient time to his BIZ
cycle to keep it clean, and also avoids I'M
necessarily rough usage while riding. But,
unfortunately, there are Others who are
not so considerable, and those, as a rule are
the ones who have bought wheels at mod
crate or low prices. They make the mis-
take of undertaking the bicycles efficiency

Many Savannah wheelmen, when asked
to join the League of American Wheel
men, ask: What benefit will I derive
from it. The league is all right in the
North and East, but does nothing for
Southern members" Savannah rider,
who recently Joined the league, made some
purchases of bicycle accessories on which
he said he saved more than the amount
of his initiation fee and years dues. The
reason for this was that he was allowed
a discount by the league agent and repair
er which he would not have received had
he not been a member of the league. This
is one of the many benefits derived from
membership in the league. All good wheel
men ought to join the representative cycle

1t is all over but the shouting, and Isaac
B. Potter, the present incumbent of the
League of American Wheelmen executive
chair, is conceded by L. A. w. members
to be sure of a reelection. To be sure,
few subdued murmurs are heard from
Sterling Elliott, admonishing his henchmen
not to give up the fight, but few sane men,
bers have given ear to his utteran@es.
There is a disposition on the part of some
of the prominent members of the league
to make the office of chairman of the rae
ing board an elective one. AS it is now,
the Office is appointive and Is in the gift
of the president. Should Potter be re-elect-
ed to the presidency-which at present
looks like a foregone conclusion-it is more
than likely that he will re-appolnt Albert
Mott of Baltimore to the head of the
board. 1t is understood that Potter is in
debted to Mott in a political way, and is
otherwise in favor of him.

Gross, Frank Williams and e. S. Ed
wards These riders were made profess
SIGNALS last summer, the cause of their be-
ing turned being that clause of the rae
ing rules which prohibits amateurs from
pacing professionals-hon of the riders
had ever raced for money and were not
professionals in the literal sense of the
word.
When Secretary-Tr William Den
hardt was in Baltimore last summer he
explained the position of the Savannah
riders to Chairman Mott and the chair
man promised TO have them restored 10
the amateur ranks Mr. Denhardt also
took up the cases of Thompson and Ed
wards the tandem team, which paced
Cooper and Michael last spring Thomp-
son said he did not care whether or not
he was restored, so his case was dropped
Edwards case was taken UP, however
and Secretary Denhardt is in receipt of a
letter from Chairman Mott in which he
says that Edwards case will be consider

and Gross.
Those riders who were made profession
ais because of technical clauses in the rae
ing rules, but who afterwards raced for
many prizes. cannot of course, have their
