MICHAEL WANTS DIVORCE.
No Longer "a Mystery as to Whether
the Cycle Racer Is Married.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Chicago, Jan. 25-For long time those
who are interested in cycle racing have
been wondering whether Jimmy Michael,
the tiny Welsh champion longdistance
rider. was married or not
Report said he was, and that his wife
was a rosy-cheeked, buXom woman twice
his size and weight.
Jimmy and his manager have always
denied this, perhaps because they thought
it would detract from the little fellow S
value as a drawing card.
James is married, but he doesn't want
to be any longer, and yesterday, through
his attorney, j. K. Stinson, filed suit in
the Lake county, Indiana, court for a di-
voce from his wife, Fanny Michael, nee
Lewis.
This statement does a great deal to
solve the mystery which has been a source
of amusement in cycling circles for a
long time.
In his complaint the little Welshman
says he married Fanny Lewis in Cardiff
Wales, March 49, 1895, and that she de-
serted him in the city of Aberran Wales.
three months after the marriage.
Michael says he has been a resident of
Hammond, Ind, since Sept. l, 1885

We talked about the sumptuous train. He
then asked: What do you think of her
teeth?" They light up her face like sun

other small rise to-day. Liverpool was

but the opening here was from unchanged
prices to 2 points higher. After the OPEN
ing selling by commission houses resulted
in a temporary setback. but the local
bulls have taken heart at the strength
displayed by the market during the last
day or two and at the more moderate re-
ceipts, and they have bought freely.
Shorts covering was also a feature, and
the market recovered its early loss and

ed to :. SAC and closed at 5.S3c to 5.S4c, with

New York, Jan. N.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co, in their weekly market review, say
of cotton:
THE question before the trade at the
present time is the one of acreage for the
new crop and till this has fair pros
pect of adequate answer, material change
in prices is unlikely. Buyers who have
recently been absorbing cotton on the the
DRY that present prices discount very
large crop as the result of 1S97-9S show
as yet no disposition 10 part with their
holdings, but the past week has brought
few new investors and the interest of the
trade at large in the market has not been
sufficiently great to affect prices in any
material degree.
cal situation in the far East and the re-
ports of plague in India have been viewed
with indifference. Fluctuations have been
minor and prices remain as it were fixed.
That this state of affairs will long con-
Hnue is improbable. Should the patience
of holders be exhausted and a liquidation
result, curtatlment of acreage might fol-
low from the unprofitableness of planting
at lower figures. Should again it be seen
that the prospect or the probability or
another huge crop would depress prices
to the serious detriment of the product.
curtailment of acreage might follow from
the instinct of self-preservation.
Whether the planter viii be forced from
necessity or whether he will act from
good judgment is the uncertainty Of the
future; and conjecture is difficult to deal
with
Exports continue on liberal scale and
the home consumption has not been mate

to pay in the South higher prices, rea-
tive to those ruling in New York Janu-
airy contracts are in consequence appre-
eating in value. and deliveries could not
be made upon them excepting at consd-
cradle loss. The market as we close our
