Sraining For Rond Races.

Riders in road races are practically
amateurs in the truest sense, being for
the most part young men who are en-
ployed during the day and have little
chance to pursue regular course OF
training. They know that some pre-
paration is necessary and so they hur-
ry home from work, gulp down meal
and then mount their wheels for hard
ride. Such procedure is injurious. A
veteran trainer suggests better course
of training as follows: Rise early in
the morning, eat few oatmeal bis
cults, take ride for three or four
miles, return and take a sponge down
with little cold water with some alco-
hol in 1t. If the weather is not fit, a
or three miles, is good. Walking will
do riders much good at all times.
"a young business man should, after
working hours, put on change of
clothing, eat few crackers, but drink
nothing, and go out for a spin before
a hearty supper. For the first week
do not attempt to go more than three
minute clip for four miles or so. The
second week increase the distance to
five or six miles. 1t would be wise not
to go over this. If possible the rider
should then be rubbed ON training
cot with dry towel and liniment
used. The portion Of the body not be-
ing rubbed should not be exposed. Take
no more exercise for an hour later,
eating supper in the meantime"
1t is mistake for the rider to think
that cold drinks are necessary to re-
lieve thirst. Very cold drinks, as
rule, increase the feverish condition Of
the mouth and stomach, and so create
thirst.
Experience shows 1t to be fact that
hot drinks relieve the thirst and "cool
off" the body Of the rider when it is
In an abnormally-heated condition bet
ter than ice-cold drinks. 1t is far bet
ter and safer to avoid the use of drinks
below sixty degrees.
In fact, higher temperature is to be
preferred, and riders who are much
troubled with thirst will do well to try
the advantages to be derived from hot
drinks, instead of cold fluids to which
they have been accustomed.
Hot drinks also have the advantage
of aiding digestion, instead of causing
debility of the stomach and bowels.

Arrested Under Alien Act.

The first arrest to be made under the
act that forbids the employment of aliens
on municipal work and further forbids
their being employed over eight hours
day, which was passed by the last legis-
lature, was mado in Scranton on Friday.
The act is violated daily in all parts of
the state, and so little regard is paid to
the law that the labor unions decided to
test it. j. A. Price, the walking dele
gate of one of the Scranton unions,
swore out a warrant for the arrest of M.
j. Ruddy, contractor, and Antonio
Magniotta, sub-contractor, before Alder
man Miller. Mr.. Price claimed that
they had employed foreigners on new
school building, and that tho mon were
being worked nine and ten hours per
day. Both of the defendants were held
in $500 bail for. their appearance at

and Was Shot in Charge on tho
Spanish Breastworks on July 2.
Our neighboring town, Upper Lehigh,
can claim the honor of being the first in
this part of PENNSYLVANIA to give a life
in the war for humanity. Sergeant
John w. Jones was killed in u charge
upon the Spanish breastworks near
Santiago on Saturday, July 2.
Mr. Jones was II resident of Upper
Lehigh for many years until February,
1889, when he enlisted in Company /,
Seventh infantry, of the regular army.
He served his term, then came back for
short while. Finding no great change
in the conditions from the time of his
first departure, he again forsook civil life
and returned to his regiment. Up to
the outbreak of the war his head
quarters were at Fort Washakie, Wyom-
ing. In April last, with thousands of
others, he was rushed to Tampa, Flori-
da, where his regiment was recruited to
war strength. This opened the way for
promotions, and Mr.. Jones was raised to
i""' wa ''"oosi SSOthb VI company
The Seventh was in the thick of Fri
day and Saturdays lighting before San
tiago. 1t is part of General Chaffee's
brigade, in General Lawton's division.
and the accounts of the battle go to
show that several times during these
two days General Chalfee's men bore
the brunt of the battle. The loss in this
brigade tells its own story of the hcroism
of the men composing it.
The casualties of the Seventh, as
taken from General Lawton's official
report rendered to the war department,
foot up thrty-three killed and ninety
five wounded. Company Els loss alone
was four killed and eleven disabled.
Among those who fell wounded were the
colonel and major and five of the field
staff, while four of the regimental staff
were killed.
During the period he spent as a soldier
Sergeant Jones did not forget his friends
in this vicinity. In his letters to the
editor of the TRIBUNE, with whom he
corresponded occasionally, he invari-
ably asked for additional news besides
that which the TRIBUNE gave him of his
acquaintances in and around Freeland
He was well pleased with a soldiers life
and saw active service in Indian skir-
mishes during the red mems upriSings a
few years ago. In some of these en-
gagements he had several narrow es-
capes from being captured by the
savages. Notwithstanding the fact that
at times he was stationed as high as 1i7
miles from railroad, and mail had to
be carried via couriers, he did not miss
single issue of this paper from its first
number until about two years ago, when
few copies went astray.
Mr.. Jones has no Immediate relatives
in this vicinity at present, so far as we
can learn. A brother, Evan r. Jones,
lived at Upper Lehigh several years, but
removed to Scranton in July, 1894.

WOOdpeckers Eat Poles.

Readheaded woodpeckers have de-
stroyed, during two years, a carload
OF the poles which support the wires of
the Kansas City and Independence
electric line. The busy little birds
bore into the poles and scoop out a
cavity, where they lay their eggs and
raise their young. In this way the
poles are weakened so that they break
under the weight Of the wires.
The wood Of the poles is the soft
white cedar, and is easily penetrated
by the sharp bills of the woodpeckers.
The supports for the wires last usu-
ally ten years, but now there are many
that must be replaced at once at cost
Of about SIS apiece. Last year scores
OF the redheaded pests were shot by
employees of the electric railway COM

An important decision, and one of
general interest, has been rendered by
Judge Lyons, Of Juniata county, who
was on the bench in the Columbia
county court, at Bloom sburg, when the
now celebrated case Of John Ii. Eisen-
hover, the deposcd principal of Cen
tralia schools, was tried. Eisenhower
was elected principal for term of three
years, and when he had served one year
he was ousted without any charges
being brought against him. The court
awarded him nine months salary, $765,
with interest aud costs, and under the
DECISION he can recover pay for the full
term OF three years. Previous to going
to Centralia, Mr.. Eisenhower was prin-
cipal of the schools at Mahanoy City.

A Prophet from Socks Pond.

Three typical farmers from near
Socks pond, close to the dividing line
between Luzerne and Monroe counties,
came into Alderman Davison's office
Friday morning and the spokesmen of
the party, says the Wilkesbarre Neus-
dealer, informed the alderman that a
murder had been committed and that
they had the evidence to prove it. The
speaker told Of his being believer in
the law of Moses and how at various
times he had used his belief to ferret
some crime or other.
Some time since an old woman living
at Bear Lake disappeared and no trace
of her was ever discovered At that
time, so the farmer said, they traced her
to short distance off farm house.
The occupant of this house recently had
quarrel with his wife, who left him for
fear of being murdered. The news
coming to the prophet through the laws
of Moses, he interpreted this man as
being the murderer. So stcadfast was
he in the belief that he, and his COM
panions also, wanted the warrants
sworn out and the man arrested.
One of the others said he had dreamed
or heard that the body of the woman
was taken to a medical school in Phila-
delphia, and that some man was on his
way here with photograph of it. The
matter was turned over to the district
attorney, who will determine whether
the farmer foretells events or not.

reduce the salary of the superintendent.
1t was decided not to purchase any

could get together came over yesterday
to give battle to tho Tigers. There was
n small attendance at the park. The
playing on both sides was good, but
failed to arouse any considerable enthu-

9 to 5. Brehm and Kimmel composed
the battery for the visitors, and Ferry
and Gaffney did the heavy work for the
Tigers. Hazleton was outplayed at

unable to touch Ferry when hits meant
runs. Following is a summary of the
