LONG, DISTANCE RACES.
Americans 30 Not Look Upon Them
with Much Enthusinsn

Long distance riding has developed

Dutchman, is 81 miles ahead of his near.
est competitor, Hurct. When the sea-
son of 1895 opened the 24-hour record
was less than $40 miles. The present
record (Cordang's) is GIG miles 340
yards. AT the close of lSo6 the record
was ji5 miles and some odd yards,
RIverre, the champion 24-hour rider Of
1896, made 53S miles 4S0 yards, gain
Of but 10 miles over the figures for 1895.

The 2l-hour record ride has little of

durance, calling for the exercise of only
the purely animal functions. The
sprint race appeals more directly to the
American temperament and brings into
play judgment ana determination, as
well as properly trained muscles. The
24-hour test is a good thing in its way,
showing the wonders that a man NAV
accomplish by the aid of the bicycle in
a single day aud further demonstrating
what the human body can be made tc
do If whipped up to it; but such test
entirely lacks the entertaining and
brilliant qualities of n race Of from one

May tire, and, it is claimed, has the
same resiliency.
1t Is lot pneumatic in the sense Of
containing air under pressure--for its
resilency comes from the elasticity of

ton renders the tire unpuncturab!e
So the inventor claims.
The advantages claimed by the In

THE HOYrETTER CO. WINS ANOTHER
CASE.
Infripgements ON Their Dttters Net
Tolerated By United States Court.

Tolerated BY United states Court.
The United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District Of New York, Judge
Townsend presiding, handed down an opin-
ion December I'D, 1897, granting Injunction
and accounting, in the suit OF The Hostetter
Company against Isaac Sommers and Louis
Joseph, for Infringement OF its Trade Marx.
The jurist states, in bold and clear language,
the rights accruing to the Hostetter Com
pany, and the liability incurred by all who
would rob them, by fraud or misrepresenta-
ton, Of the wellearned reputation and
profits of business built up by the efforts
OF half century. The judge says, in part:
'The complainant is entitled to protec-
ton against the appropriation Of its trade
mark, by any and all unfair and dishonor-
able means, and court OF equity has pow
er to grant such protection whenever it is
satisfied that an attempt has been made by
ingenious subterfuges, to invade the rights
of an owner of trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individual
manufacturer, who strives to acquire and
retain the fruits Of industry ana hon
esty, and the field Of keen rivals, seeking
to wrest from him the prize of the public
goodwill, the inventive ingenuity of the
infringer has conceived great variety Of
devices for evading the established rules Of
fair dealing. So Courts Of equity find
ing that their ultimate object and effect
were to enable and induce the retail seller of
fraudulent imitation to palm it off on an
unsuspecting public for the genuine article,
and thus to contribute to the infringement
upon the rights Of the original owner, have
not hesitated to apply the remedy"

OHICKAMAUGA,Ga.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The correspondent of Town Topics
says: The prejudice existing in mill
tary circles in general, and in the
mind of General Sternberg in particu-
lar, against trained women nurses for
the sick and wounded soldiers, will
have to be done away with. II any
thing under the sun is needed imme-
diately at Chickamauga, it is twenty
five trained nurses at Letter hospital.
DIR. E. C. Carter, the surgeon in
charge, says he much prefers women
nurses. They do not fret, irritate, or
bulldoze the patient; do not smoke,
drink or go to sleep while on duty
are more reliable in every way.
At present there are one hundred
and eighty patients in Letter hospital,
one hundred and forty-six of whom
are down with typhoid fever, and
there are only six trained nurses!
Can you imagine what that means,
with temperatures at one hundred and
four and one hundred and five de-
grees? With cooling baths needed to
prevent the burning-Out of the life
spark? With the necessity that nour-
ishment be given at regular intervals
to build up what is left of vitality
when the fever has abated?
~ l., tn
assist these nurses, medical students
mostly, who do the lifting and care
for the patients who are raving in de-
lirium.
Some one told me there were at
Letter hospital forty-five nurses to
give them the proper attention. One
poor woman came to me, whose son
had died there, and begged me to say
something about il with my pen. An
other told me the boys" died there
from home sickness added to disease;
others said soldiers died on the way
there from jolting over the roads
from division hospitals. FINALLY

myself to investigated was too seri-
GUS a subject to handle carelessly. To
begin with, Mrs. Letter, when she
bought an abandoned summer hotel
to present to our soldiers as q hospital
failed to ask why it had been con-
demned as a pleasure resort. II she
should ask now she would find the
condemnation was due to the fact OF
it's being a death-trap for malaria
DIR. E. C. Carter, who is now in charge
of the hospital. with his assistants
started to find causes, and the dead
Hest one has been unearthed; it wae
found that the sewerage of the house
consisted of one pipe eight hundred
feet in length, with two hundred feet
of it blocked entirely. This pipe
starting directly under the house, had
no ventilation whatever except
through the door into the different
parts of the house. DIR. Carter and
his forces knocked out glass which
furnished light into this room, and
covered the apertures with wire net
ting; they dug up floors and pipes tc
get at safely concealed cesspOols;
they have opened up circulation OF
air, and in various ways have turned
this deadly poison away from the all
which the patients must breathe. In
addition to the one hundred and for
ty-six soldiers who are down with the
fever, is one OF the women nurses and
one of the surgeons. This nurse who
succumbed to the fever was, DIR. Car.

It is 80 difficult to get workmen
in this easy-going southern climate
that DIR. Carter is obliged to take the
medical corps. who act as nurses and
assistants, away from the sick beds
for manual labor that must be done
to get the hospital into condition to
receive the fast coming patients. He
has telegraphed for nurses and women
nurses. He hopes his necessities will
realized, and that red-tape will be
dispensed with and a corps of nurses
reach him at once.
As we were passing from one ward
to another a young man with tears
in his eyes came to DIR. Carter to see
about shipping the body of his BROTH
er back to Mississippi. The nurse
had just told him that his brother
could not live till morning. Thirty
five days he had been struggling with
the fever, and had not the strength
to rally. In his delirium he has
talked of the drilling. the hot sun,
and the shade on the lawn at home.
The brother has been here for two
weeks, hoping against hope. Some OF
the time the sick brother has known
him, but most of the time it has been
the quiet, sad delirium.
/ went from cot to cot. Some of the
sick ones could talk to me, but near
" all were too ill. Two mothers were
there, who had come to take care of
their sons, and the nurses and doc
tors were as glad to see them as were
their sick boys.
One soldier, who was by himself,
in one room were there was another
cot empey, seemed so far away from
the rest that 1 asked him if he was
lonely. He said feebly:
''Yes, it is lonely, but 1 prefer it.
The man in the other cot died this
morning---he made me nervous"
The ball room, the billiard room,
the office, the dining room, the par
lOrs of this former summer hotel was
filled with cots, and each cot had its
occupant. Mosquito netting canopied
each cot, and each soldier had fam
he could fan il he had lie strength,
or if not. perhaps the soldier on the
next cot was little stronger and
could fan the two of them. The
linen of the bed and the night shirts
were all new and clean, and the
floors are being covered with rubber
mating to deaden Nose.
In time everything will come out
all right; in the meantime there are
some big plumbers here as well as at
Tampa to contend with.
1t is perfectly evident that the
heads of the three most important
departments in Washington---the med
lea, the ordnance and the quartermas-
ter---have no idea of the magnitude
of this army. A tour of inspection
for General Sternberg. General Flag
Ter and General Ludington would
result, I am sure, in immediate ac-
ton, with red tape issuing afterward.
In this one instance, if these men
at Letter hospital were lying there
the victims of an enemy's bullet, it
would seem necessary part of war
fare; to have them lie there the vic
Tins of climatic disease and die for
want of care because of silly preju-
dices against women nurses, is GRIM

fers women nurses. Our training
