WHAT THE CAR
THINKS AND SAYS.
He Deals with Expansion. the Increase
Of Armies aud sees Nothing Ahead

The Times from London says
AT the great public conference held
Sunday afternoon in Sc James Hall
fAvoriug an international ratification Of
the cars peace proposition, William 7.
Stead said that though he could not
give the exact words Of the car in a re.
cent interview. the substance OF what
his majesty said was as follows:
IL look out oy the world 1 study
our civilization and do not find it very
good. / see nations all engaged in seiz.
ing or trying 70 seize all territory nos
yet occupied by European powers |
look At the results They do not seem
to be good.
"For the native races what does i'm.
perial expansion mean' Too often
opium, alcohol and all manner Of foul
diseases a great gull between the gov.
erned and those who rule ami crushing
taxation upon the natives were the
blessings OF this civilization.
"And FOR the nations who seize, what
does u meant A continual increase Of
suspicion, jealousy and rivalry; the
heap ng up Of fleets and armies In order
70 take part in the scmmble with the
world, with the result that the army
and navy are swallowing up more and
more millions that should be used Tor
the welfare OF the people and the nd.
vaneement OF the world.
"On top are a few very rich ard com.
Portable Down below with an ever in.
creasing pressure Of taxes for ornaments
Is the great mass Of poor people, whose
position Is not very good. There is an
ever increasing multitude OF those b..
low with their breeding discomfort
ripening into socialism and developing |
into all kinds OF anarchy.
mo, DO not find our civilization

have at the present moment arrived nc
this stage that we have put all our very |
best manhood in the army. 50 much
this the case that We cannot mobilize !

HIGH-GRADE WHEELS.
indianapolis Leads Chicago in First
Class Work.

Few people in this city are aware of the
fact that Indianapolis makes more bicycles
than any other city in the country. with the
exception of Chicago. Even this exception
loses it's strength when the additional state
ment is made that indianapolis even leads
the Windy City when it comes to turning
out high-grade wheels. A large part of the
Chicago product is composed of cheap
wheels, which sell in competition in the de-
partment stores at $40 and upwards, while
the entire Indianapolis product ranks with
the best and sells at a standard price
throughout the country.
Indianapolis also has the credit of being
the home Of the first reputable wheel to be
sold at fair prices. When the so-called
best wheels were selling at fair prices,
ranging from 500 to $780, the Indiana Bicy-
Gle Company set its price for the we'll
known Waverley at $50. and guaranteed it to
be as fine as any of the others No amount
of adverse advertising could break down the
success of this concern. From the start its
product was recognized as the best, and
when big concerns in other towns were
complaining of bad business, the Waverley
kept the wheels of the Indiana factory run
ming on full time. The Indiana Bicycle
Company maintained from the beginning

of the game another chance to guess who

Tor, then it was Orlando Stevens and now
it is the ever popular Johnny" Johnson, of
Minneapolis. 1t has been a matter of won
der during the season that the famous
record breaker had not come to the front
at the national circuit meets, and it was the
general idea that he was fearful of the con-
sequences. Still reports came from Phil
adelphia of his speed and announcement of
the fact that he was going faster than
ever before in his career.
On Saturday he came to Indianapolis and
yesterday negotiated the fast, board surface
of the new track. He pronounced it one of
the greatest speed ovals in the country and

rider what is a good track for bicycle rae

A BICYCLE PRODIGY.
Walter McGrath, Eight Years Old, OF
Philadelphia.

A real bicycle prodigy is in the city in
the person of eight-year-old Walter Nc
Grath, of Philadelphia. Walter, in spite of
his years, wears three century bars on his
clothes, presented by the Century Road
Club, and claims he is entitled to six more,
he having ridden, altogether, nine centuries
during his brief cycling career, covering
about fourteen months, besides numerous
other rides of a notable character Walter
was yesterday the center of an admiring
group about the l.. A. w. clubhouse. He
wears numerous medals presented to him
on different occasions by clubs in the East,
where his extraordinary riding has MADE
him prominent. One of his proudest pos
sessions at the present time is a button
presented to him by Mayor Taggart at the
81 meet at Philadelphia during the time
the mayor was pulling for the present
meet to come to Indianapolis. Walter Me-
Grath is sturdy youngster, showing great
energetic riding. He is here to attend the
meet in response to Mayor Taggart's invi-
tation last year, and is accompanied by his
father

HANDSOME DECORATIONS.
The City Will Begin to Put on n Gay
Garb To-Day.


Garb To-Day.
While the decorations about town have
not been placed in position to any great ex-
tent as yet, there are enough up already
to indicate both large and expensive dis
play during the meet. The best of the dec
orations so far show strong tendency in
the direction of the league colors-purple
and white. The Indiana Bicycle Companys
retail store has the entire front of the
building covered with a purple drapery,
with the word "Waverley" set in the CEN
ter. All the other cycle stores will be sim
ilarly decorated by to-day The decora-
tons on the Indianapolis l.. A. w. Club
building are both profuse and tasty, while
the Marion Club across the way has spread
itself in a lavish manner. Besides the
league colors which cover the entire
colonnade, the front of the building is lit
up at night by Illuminated embiems of the
league and the Marion Club. The MEM
bers of this organization propose to enter
tain the visiting wheelmen in a thorough
style, and have placed the entire house at
their disposal during the week. A recep-
tion to l.. A. w. members will be given to-
morrow night. Yesterday the two clubs
had painters at work in the street drawing
a design of the l.. A. w. on the asphalt
pavement to serve as a guide to visiting
wheelmen on either side of the street, where
hospitable door is open to them.

SUNDAY AT ACTON CAMP.
The DeacOnesses Take Prominent

Part in All the Services.
The second Sunday at Acton camp has
come to be termed the big day" although
it might with propriety be termed farmers
day." The country people for miles around
have set the custom of choosing that day
for "hitchin up the team and takin' the
folks to camp meetin'." True to the GUS
tom they yesterday docked in by the hun
dreds. and the hill was covered with all
kinds of vehicles. The visitors from the
country seemed to enjoy the occasion i'm
mensely, although there was nothing to do
but simply promenade up and down and
down and up. Some attended the taberna-
Gle services but not many-they evidently
preferred to let the city folks attend to the
sermons. while they could keep on the go,
seeing everything and letting themselves be

Bishop Isaac w. Joyce, of Minneapolis,

absence of disorder and although cigars
and other things were sold yet there was
no cause to complain on this score, and no
complaints were heard. The attendance was
estimated at from 1900 to 1000. The taber-
nacle was crowded to overlooking all day
and a number of profitable and interesting
sermons were given. The deaconesses and
their work was the general theme of the
day. Many of these self-sacrfcing women

circuit, and including in its membership
both Eastern and western cities. Last win el
this suggestion was generally approved, but
it fell through owing to some antagonismS
which could not be placated. More recent
ly, however, it seems to have met with more
favor, although perhaps nothing definite
may be accomplished until next winter. The
cycle association of this city will maintain
its track if admitted TO league membership
and President Newly is hopeful that the
league will soon become an assured fact
profitable alike to the public and to the as
sociations holding membership therein.
