GOSSIP ABOUT CYCLING.
Race Promoters Are Dissatisfied
With the New Rules.

AT present President Potter does not
seem in the least inclined to favor the
/. a. W. receding from the position Ii
has taken in attempting to start pur-
chasing department, through which
League members can buy bicycles al a
discount. Secretary Wardrop, OF the
National Board OF Trade, suggests that
the trade will take a firm stand, and OPP
pose the scheme to the bitter end. The
feeling among e.ailers in Greater New
York is particularly bitter, and 1t is
probable that they may all begin a cam
paign against the League, if it insists
on going into the bicycle business. The
prospect does not alarm the League ad-
miniStratipn any. President Potter
seems to be of the opinion that the
League can get along without trade
help.
Race promoters and track owners Of
New York are much dissatisfied with
several Of the new racing rules. and de-
clare that they will dsobey them and
appeal to the courts if the racing board
attempts to punish them in any way
that interferes with their business
One class Of customers for the enclosed
chain and the chainlc-,s wheels of this
year is composed of the women who have
been thrown or had their skirts torn
because Of the skirts catching in the
chain.
a rider who tried an English gear
case last year says that his friends
would not let him ride with them be
cause it ratified so much. He admits
that he wore a loose chain, whcrxas
gear case makers say that the chain can
be ridden perfectly snug when covered.
Some of the metal cases now being made
as part of a wheel are said TO have the
same objection of rafting. A new idea
to obviate the rattle has been introduce
ed in the Frost case, which is to put

of running the chain through double

STRIPPED BY A HIGHWAYMAN
William Post Lets n Stranger Ride
md Is Rohlied.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, March 30.-William
Post. twenty-four years old, clerk in a
store in Bangall, Duchess County, was
beaten into insensibiity and stripped of
his clothing by an unknown highwayman
while driving from Lafayetteville to his
home Sunday night. 1t was a very dark
night, and Post had a lantern in one
hand, while he drove with the other. A
mile and a half out of Lafayetteville a
voice called out in the darkness: Hello
boss; gimme a ride?'' Certainly" an
swered Post, refining up his horse, and "A
man whom he did not know climbed upon
the back of the blackboard wagon, and
settled down on his knees, with his
hands upon the shoulders of the driver
They had gone along in this way not
more than half a mile, when the stranger
seized Post by the throat with both hands.
he young man struggled to his feet and
both he and his assailant fell out of the
wagon. Then followed a terrific fight
by the roadside, but Post was no match
for the highwayman, who pounded him
into insensibility. When Post regained
consciousness he found that his outer
clothing, hat and shoes were gone, and
the horse and wagon were missing.

ONE MORE ALLEGED MIRACLE.
Sick and Demented Girl Made Well
by Prayer.

Willamsport, Pa, March S0-Sick and
demented, a physical and mental. wreck
unable to move from her bel fer fort
night. Miss Lizzie Swartz, young wo-
man, twenty-one years Of age, was yes
terday completely cured almost in the
twinl1ling of an eye and in a manner
that proves the days OF miracles have
not passed. The cure was apparently
effected in answer TO the prayers of
friends, and has caused a profound SEN
sation.
Miss Swartz is the daughter Of a Wild
owed mother. residing IN Fifth street,
this city. About six years ago she be-
came an invalid. She was afflicted with
a nervous disorder, and despite the best
medical treatment she secured TO relief.
A year ago she was sent to The Kellogg
Sanitarium, at Battle Creek, Mich, but
was not benefited. and after he return
home grew rapidly worse.
Her ill-health preyed upon her mind
and she became demented. Four weeks
ago she took to her bed, and from that
time until yesterday morning she did not
arise. She recognized no one, not even
her mother.
The unfortunate woman has for sew
eral years been member of the local
church of the Seventh Day AdventiStS.
William NJ Lee elder of the church, is
a stronE believer in the power of prayer,
and this morning he, in company with
his wife. T. u. Gibson and W. f. Swartz,
a brother of the afflicted young woman,
visited the sick chamber at 10 o'clock and
prayed for Miss SwartZ's complete re-
covery.
Their prayers were offered In accord
anco with the record found in Acts, tx.
40: But Peter put them all forth, and
kneeled down and prayed; and turning
him to the body. said. 'Tabitha, arise
And she opened her eyes; and when she
saw Peter she sat up" At the conclu-
sion Of the prayers Elder Lee extended
his hand toward the PROSTATE girl, com
handing her to arise. AS he did so Miss
Swartz sat up and grasped the elders
outstretched hand.
She was rational and recognized those
grouped around her bed. After she had
greeted them. she asked to see her
mother. Being informed that Mrs. Swartz
was on the floor below. the young wom-
so long occupied and descended the
stairs. The greeting between mother
and daughter was most affecting. Miss
SwartZ is now apparently in perfect
health and in full possession of all her
mental faculties. Her miraculous recov-
cry has caused 4 sensation and hun
dreds are visiting the house 10 satisfy
themselves of its truth.
