Mexico she is almost sure TO be an
American. All citizens Of the United
States are called Americans in Mexico
as they are in Canada.
The reason Mexicon women do not
ride BICYCLES is the moral wall that IS
built around women In our sister repub-
lie. The senOrita IS guarded at all mo-
menta by her duenna. Shots not allow
al 20 move one step unattended, ana her
apparel IS such as TO hide her ldehtlty

OF limb impossible. Hence she does not
ride horse. indulge IN outdoor sports
or enjoy tho recreations of girls OF more
advanced nations. and OF course. the bl-
cycle Is beyond her reach. 1t VIII take
generations before the Mexican girl Is
frcel from her bonds.
MOSTLY AMERICAN WHEELS.
There are no bicycle factories In Mexi-
co The wheels used there are nearly
all OF American make. The prominent
namcplates seen on our boulevards are
also on view IN Mexican cities. The
machines are sent across tho border in
parts and assembled IN Mexico. 10 be-
ing cheaper 20 import the parts than the
finished bicycle because ~ the discrep-
ancy In the Mexican tariff laws.
In the City OF Mexico good wheeling
roads are plentiful and cycling is the
popular pastime. There are several
successful wheclmcn's clubs there, the
most prominent being the Mexican Club

young men

A RI VARIABLE CASE.
The Story of a Man who was a Hope
less Paralytic. He was Paid a
$1,000 Disability Claim.

The following case was printed
originally in The Monitor, news
paper published at Meaford, Canada.
Doubts we're raised as to it's truthful
ness, consequently close watch
was kept on the case for two years
and the original statement has now
been completely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been hopeless
paralytic for five years. His case
has had wide attention. He was
confined to his bed, was bloated al
most beyond recognition, and could
not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal sclerosis, and all
said he could'not live. The Canadian
Mutual Life Association after a
thorough examination, paid him his
total disability claim of $1,650, re-
garding him as forever incurable.
For three years he fingered in this
condition. After taking some of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills there was a
slight change, a tendency to sweat
freely. Next came little feeling in
his limbs, This extended, followed
by pricking sensation, until at last
the blood began to course freely
and vigorously through his body.
Soon he was restored to his old time
health.
A reporter from The Monitor recent
ly called on Mr.Petch again and was
told:
"You may say there is no doubt
as to my cure being permanent. l
am in better health than when
gave you the first interview, aud GER
tainly attribute my cure to DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills.
"To these pills l owe nay release
from the living death, and I shall
always bless the day | was induced
to take them"
Such is the history of one OF the
most remarkable cases in modern
times. In the face OF such testimony,
can any one say that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are not entitled to the
careful consideration of every suf-
ferer-man, woman or child7 Is not
the case, in truth, a miracle Of
modern medicine?
Sold by all dealers in medicine.

SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1898.
WE WILL HONOR THE DAY.

The 4th of July has for many
years been a holiday in the Hawai-
ian Islands. Many Americans living
here and their friends feel indignant
on account of the attitude of Minis
ter Sewall in refusing to celebrate in
the usual manner the great national
holiday of the Great Republic,
which he represents. The Amer
leans here cannot understand how
the possibilities of the annexation OF
the Hawaiian Islands can interfere
with their national interest, and
their allegiance to the national day
OF their home.
Let Minister Sewall and his clique
decline to celebrate the 4th of July,
The INDEPENDENT will not 60 back
on the honored custom of the Ha.
waiian people in paying the proper
compliment to the American people
on the birthday of the United
States.

The Races.

The entries for the 4th Of July
races we're closed yesterday after
noon, aud every event on the pro-
gram was filled. ~)
Mr.. w. NJ. Cunhinghsms the own
er of Wela ka Hao, was seen this
morning in regarj to the remarks
published in the Advertiser He
said: "You can tell the sporting
editor of the morning paper that
he ought to know what he is writ
ing about before he makes fool
of himself.
at was his paper which stated
that Wela ka Hao would not be en-
tered, and in this mornings issue he
has the cheek to say, that the entry
of the horse was made as predicted
in his paper.
Let the public understand that
my horse is not in very good con.
dition, although 1 will try to do the
best to win the race on the 4th.
"The record OF the horse is 2:124,
not 2:09 as claimed by the morning
paper. l would have preferred to
hold the horse back for another
meet, but want to show the crowd
that / am in it every time.
"Wela ka Hao will appear on the
track wearing barshoe, to which
he has never been accustomed here
tofore. The difference in his gait
under such circumstances may be
disastrous to the result of the race
as far as my horse is concerned. 1t
is necessary to use the barshoe to
protect the foot Of the horse, which
has been operated on and treated
by DIR. T. B. Chapman for gravel.
"The public should not feel disap-
pointed if Wela ka Hao does not
come up to the point. The man
who drives the horse will do
all he can to win the race.
1t is not decided whether l
will drive or not. If don't, Charles
David will handle the reins. He
has been in charge of the horse
during the past A months"
The horses to be pitted against
Wela Ka Hao are Irish Lassie,
Loupe and w. Wood. In betting
circles Irish Lassie and w. Wood
take even chances as favoritas, and
it is generally expected that the
"raw" one will win the exciting race.
In the 2:20 class Violin is the
favorite and Margret Ell. and Flora
G.. will have to get move on, if
their owners wish to beat the name
sake OF the gentle musical ''instru-
ment."
In the 2:30 class Directress is OK
pected to beat Gerster and Water
melon Joe. That is yet to be seen.
The races will be excellent all
around, and there is no doubt that
the public will give them its best
patronage.
