How Il Rider Lost His Health, Busi-
ness and Friends.

How II Rider Lost His Health, Busi-
ness and Friends.
From the Baltimore American.
Pumping tire is popularity supposed by
whealmen to be the one piece of work in
connection with bicycle that Is most
conducive to rerspiration, but stout man
in an uptown club says ne has discovered
something that is worse, and he recon-
nends it as being better for reducing flesh
than pumping tires, banting or saving
wood This, ne says, Is the job of fitting 4
cyciometer to the front fork so that it viii
work properly. He tells story of having
worked for more than an hour putting on
his cycometer, and then finding that It
would not work. He is not the first man to
have trouble of the kind. but in this in
stance the sufferer tells sequel to MS
experience that has more than humorous
suggcstireness. After he had reduced his
weight a couple of pounds woik king at the
cvclo.neter friend came along and tried
to soothe his feelings by advising that he
start in and take off the little instrument
whose adjustment had caused the original
agony. The adviser advanced an argument
substantially follows.
IF you put that thing on and get in the
habit Of keeping tab on it, you Will become
"A haggard and fiendish scorcher. You will
develop cyclomana, nave insomnia, lose
your business and all your friends Now
you are healthy and sensible rider. Be
warned in time and take off that cyclic
meter. | speak from experience and seri
Cusly. If you have it on your life will be-
come wrapped up in watching the record
on it grow. You will neglect your family
and everything else in order to swell the
record | was rational, senteel rider until
the idea took possession of me that as l
rode great deal should be able to tell my
mileage for the season, and / got a cyclo-
meter, which l fiatered my self would be
nice thing. | thought l riding an
average of eighty or one hundred miles a
week. My cyciometer would not show any
such average, and So in order to salve my
pride, l felt obliged to ride enough extra
to make it show what ! had boaSted of
to myself and few others. When l got up
to the stated average | became ambitious
TO get mileage record l rode nights aid
early IN the mornings. l neglected my busi-
ness and all associates to get off alone
with that cyclometer. In order to gain
time l took to scorching. If | mad not been
mercifully run into and had the internal
device with its record smashed to pieces,
would now be in an asylum. There Is all
the difference in the world between riding
with and without a cyclOmeter. Some can
resist their temptations, while others cali
not. My only hope is to shun them, and
therefore l give you warning solemny.''
The stout man says he has let his cy-
clometer remain unadjusted and has since
been trying to make up his mind whether
he was being 'jollied' or had listened to
words of wisdom. He was inclined to the
former belief. but upon inquiring into the
matter found several friends who have
fallen victims to this cyclometer habit.

A Library Rat.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
There is to be found in most public libra
ries what the French call "le rat de biblio-
theque.'' The rat of the Bibliotheque Ma
tionale, who has lately died at Paris, en-
joyed an eccentricity that marked him out
from his fellows. His popular name was
'Pere IL quarante ans for he had
put the clock of life back exactly forty
years. Refusing to live in the present, ne
spent his days in the great national library,
calling every morning for the papers of the
same date. but forty years old, and reading
them through from the rising of the sun to
the going down of the same. One day In
September. 1895, he was seen to be suffer-
ing from unusual excitement. His friend
asked him what was the matter. "Matte,i

OPENED QUIETLY.
Interest in Washington Conferred in
Madrid--.A Days Doings in the
Departments.

washington, August 1.-The day
anened quietly in the State, war and
navy departments and there was WIS.,
ible waning of interest in the war, at
tentien being rather diverted to the
peace negotiations now in progress.
Secretary Of State Day and Assistant
Secretary Moore had not returned to the
city and were scarcely expected before
tomorrow. 1t was still the under
standing that no word was to be ex-
pected until Tomorrow from Spain
touching the aceeptability of the United
States demands.
A number of callers awaited Seere-
tary Alger at the department, prom
inent among them being Col. John ia
cob Aston. Col Astor is member of
Gen. Skaters staff and was sent north
with dispatches, including, it is under
stood, the full articles Of capitulation
of Santiago. He had been very much
delayed on account Of quarantine reg
ulations. He was accompanied by his
secretary, who had in charge the re-
ports from Gen. Shafter, which by
that officers direction Col. Astor was
to hand personally to Secretary Alger
and no one else. Col. Aston will go to
New York tonight to spend a few days
before returning to the front. 1t is
rumored that he is to be attached to
Gen. Miles staff at Porto Rico, but
on this point he had nothing to say.

General Greeley. chief signal Officer,
x(as able to anstDnnce with great deal
Of gratifcationsto-day that he was
new in direct. communication with
General Miles headquarters, at Ponce,
Porto, Rico. Heretofore all messages
from the general have comme via a
disparn beat to St. Thomas, and
thence by cable, involving delay of
fromr twelve to twenty hours. When
the Spanish forces retreated from
Ponce they destroyed the cable instru-
ments. General Greeley has succeeded
in getting the officials at St. Thomas to
send over new instruments, and thus
communication was reopened. The
present cab1, now runs from Ponce to
st. Thomas, thence to Martinique and
to- Kingston, and SO by one OF two
routes to New York. The British Off
Gals who control the cable are per-
fectly willing to transmit messages
for the United States government over
it providing that our forces are in pos
session Of the cable terminus, but they
/ Will not allow their cable to be used
if instruments are Ncut i'm at any in
ternsediate point. Thus it happens
that the same rule lseing applied to the
cable frcm Hong Kong to Manila has
prevented Admiral Dewey from using
the cable to communicate with Hong
Kong, although he holds one end.
When he possesses Manila the COM
| pany will recognize his right to use the
cable This rule has been adopted af-
! ter very serious consideration as one
| demanded by strict neutrality.

National Military Park, Chattanooga,
Tenn, August 1.-The departure OF
Gen. Wade leaves Brig. Gen. r. I.
Frank in command of Camp Thomas
pending the arrival Of Gen. Breckin-
ridge, who has been. assigned to the
command. 1t is understood here that
Gen. Wade is to command provisional
detachment OF fifteen regiments from
States that have the least representa-
ton at the front Men and officers
of the various regiments at Camp
Thomas are in state OF anxiety ana
will continue in such until II is known

The present indications are that the
next troops to go will be from the

have urged the inclusion of this bri-
gade in an early expedition to the

maximum, is fully equipped and splen-

Pittsburg. August 1.-Conventions of
various labor organizations that are
battling for recruits to their ranks in
the Western Pennsylvania coal regions
may precipitate a strike Of the diggers.
A general convention Of representa-
being held to-day in this city and i'm
portant action on all matters of a dis
turbing nature is to be taken.
While it is not generally believed
that this body will favor a general
strike, yet the impression prevails that
a move which will affect every opera
tor in the district will be made. The
morning session was devoted to per-
fecting the organization
The session was devoted to listing
delegates, appointment of committees
and a discussion CT grievances emanat-
ing from the alleged violation Of the
Chicago agreement. President Ratch-
ford was present and advocated strict
compliance with the interstate COM
pact.
1t is not thought that general strike
will be ordered at this time, although
it was decided to declare suspensions
at all mines where the district regula-
tons are not being complied with
This will throw several hundred dig
gers out of work.
All matters for action were placed
in the hands oft he resolutions COM
mittee, which went into session at 8
O'Clock and at midnight had not agreed
upon anything decisive.

AN EXTRA SESSION.
The President Will Call Upon Con-
gress for Important Legislation.

Washington, August 1.-The Post
tomorrow will say.
President Mckinley will call an ex-
ira session of both houses of Congress
as soon as Spain accepts the terms OF
peace offered by the United States.
1t has always been understood that
the Senate would be convened as soon
as the treaty of peace was ready to be
acted upon by that body. The atten-
ticn of the President has been called,
however. to situation which makes
the assembling of the entire Congress
necessary. This situation can be ex-
planned in few words.
Under the law which provides for
the raising of the volunteer army, that
the war ceases.
When this law was framed 1t was
not for a moment supposed that after
the war had ended there would be any
necessity of keeping the army intact.
The developments OF the war make it
very evident that instead OF sending
the army back to civil life fully 100000
men will contiue TO be needed.
It is the present intention TO distribute
no less than 5e.ooo soldiers throughout
I
probably ao,o00 in Porto Rice. Under the
law, as soon as hostilttes cease, the vol
unteer army is disbanded and the regular
army goes back to its peace footing, thus
leaving only 27.ooo men in the service.
This is a total far TO small for the work
that will be required. Consequently the
aid of Congress will be needed to frame
new laws which will keep an adequate
army for garrison purposes.
In addition TO this, laws must be passed
| to meet the new requirements of govern
ment in the Philippines and Porto Rico.
The President is naturally averse to
| calling Congress together during the hot
| weather. and it may be decided that the
| war is not ended until the Senate ratifies
! the treaty of peace. In this case Con-
| Sress will not meet until the first or mid
die of September, as 1t will take at least 4
north or six weeks for the fun details
| of the treaty TO be discussed and framed
| The present outlook Is however, for an
! extra session at a much earlier period in
| the hope that It's work can be concluded
before the fall campaign has reached its
| height.
