NEW YORK SUN, June ~: A man on
a bicycle rode mile yesterday faster than
any living creature that moves on the
ground (horse, greyhound or ostrich) ever
before travelled the same distance by self
propulsion. The man was Charles M.
Murphy, and he rode the mile in sixty.fve
seconds. II was done as honestly, cleanly
and in as sportsmanlke manner as any
bicycle ever was ridden. His sole advan-
tage was locomotive with one car at
tached, which set the pace and enabled
him to ride in a partial vacuum. No
straps or two ropes or harness was EN-.
ployed. He rode naturally, simply keep
ing close to the car by rapid pedaling,
stout heartedness, and strength Of mind
and body. It was wonderf' perform
anee and spectacle Of thrilling interest.

SECRET OF CARRIERS PULL.

Kansas City-Captain Carter did not
steal alone. He had big contractors in
with him. And these big fellows have
close pals at Washington, high up in the
government. Captain Carter's graft"
was to pass inferior materials as high
priced, superior grades, to oppress con-
tractors not in the ring and see that his
pals got the juicy good things at figures
that would furnish good big divy all
round. These pals of Carter's, not he,
exert the pull that shields him. They
dare not forsake Carter or allow him to
be punished as he deserves. They
know that the next thing would be civil
suits against them.

Auspicious Opening.

The season which is ever hailed with
great delight by the lades-the season
of millinery openipgs-has again arrived.
Among the first to throw open their
stores and invite public inspection of
their new goods is Mrs. Maud Chapman.
Mrs. Chapman had arranged her par
lors for the occasion with care and skill
aud never in the history Of the city has
a better opportunity been given to see
and examine the artistic creations which
30 much please the fancy Of the ladies.
Everything had been provided for the
comfort and entertainme It of che guests
who visited the store. Boyer's orchestra
constantly discoursed sweet music
which hsrmonized well with the feeling
OF delight and enjoyment which usually
prevails upon an occasion OF that char
acter.
There ls no question that the opening
was a success. Everything was bright
and beautiful. The attendant. were
courteous and obliging, feature which
was quite noticeable and added much to
the pleasure Of the afternoon.
Altogether the affair throughout WAS
a compliment to Mrs. Chapmans ability
and management.

and nobby. The designs are decidedly
handsome, and the amount OF trimming

heart thrill with delight and each manly
heart quail as his hand tightly grasps
his pocket book.
The store was beautifully decorated
and presented an appearance which is
certainly complimentary to the artistic
ability of Mesdames Hill and Mickey
nolds.
A great crowd was coming and going
all the afternoon admiring, examining;
constantly exclaiming over some new
and striking creation or going into
ecstasies over "dear little bonnet

Authorized Statement.

The following authorized statement
has been given the Denver press by
Manager Cox, regarding the caterpillar
pest.
1t answers a whole lot of false rumors
about an entire failure Of crops etc:
II notice in the newspapers reference
made to the caterpillars which have
been working in the beet crop near
Grand junction and vicinity, and deem
it best to make a straight business state
ment Of this matter, that it may come
before the people in the proper light.
The pest is confined to a very limited
district east Of Grand Junction and is
about four miles square, where large
amount Of new ground was plowed for
the first time this spring and is full OF
ground proved to Re very prolific with a
certain kind Of caterpillar which went
into the chrysalis state early in the sea-
son, Matching out a moth which again
multiplied the number by hundreds
The seed in this district was planted
late and the beets were small when the
pests appeared and were easily destroy
ed. The consequence was that in this
area perhaps 40 per cent OF the crop
was destroyed, but as this was only a
small portion OF the beet growing dis
trict, the entire loss will not be over 10
per cent Of planting, which is an insig-
nificant matter. The damage on the
whole will probably end with this season
as steps have been taken to eradicate
the trouble, and with fall plowing and
early planting in the spring and careful
tillage OF the ground there is no reason
to expect any further repe ition of the
trouble. The crop on the whole is a
very successful one for the first year, and
the factory expects to open about Octo-
Der l and make good campaign.

Wooden Wedding

AL of yesterday smile illumned the
face Of City Clerk M. o. Delaplain. He
was asked several times by inquiring
friends what the cause was of such a
pleasing cast of oountenance, but he
vouch. safed no answer whatever, but it
was potent he was feeling very good
over something.
1t developed last evening that Mr..
Delaplain was feeling so good over the
fact that he and his better half were
about to celebrate their fifth or wooden
wedding anniversary last evening.
Unique cards Of invitation had been
sent out to a select twenty or more bid
ding them come and break bread with
the happy couple last night. No one
who received these imitation wooden in
vitations refused the bidding contained
thereon and there assembled at the
Delaplain residence about twenty warm
friends who partook of the bountiful
repast set before them by thu hostess
and the bride of i've short years.
There were flowers in profusion to
decorate the house and each guest was
supplied at his or her plate with beau
tiful boutennaire. All the viands were
OF the choicest and amid a general jol-
lity the happy couple passed across the
rubicon OF five years Of welded bliss.

cipients Of many remembrances from

That Mesa County Pamphlet.

Surreptitiously, copy of the recent
edition Of the Mesa county pamphlet
came into the hands OF the editor of this
paper today, not having been sent to the
office as is usually the case
No judgem mt was passed on the pam
phlet from hearsay report, and there is
much being said about it, but having
seen copy we unhesitatingly say that
if A. A. Miller spent the entire sum ap-
propriated by the city and county upon
been cheated. We would say that pos
sibly the work is worth $3.50. III any
more has been paid great big graft is
in the work.
The pamphlet is miserably printed
and not at all to compare with the for
mer one issued. The work is by Kistler
and NOT by the Williamson Haffner peo-
pie of Denver.
1t is recapitulation OF the former
story Of Mesa county, and is no wise
new or in any way strongly written. The
half tone cuts. with several exseptio,
are very poor. Evidently someone has
made great big profit on the pamphlet.
1t will be our pleasure to find out who
and whenever we do we shall tell the
public.
There have been quite few little
private gratis on the city and county
and this is evidently one of them. For
the protection Of the printing trade it is
our duty to find out and expose such
shameful robbery and we shall unhesi-
tatingly do SO, matters not who the
party or parties concerned.
Any printing Office in this city could
have turned out the work as we'll as it
has been done and doubtless better and
it is crying shame that such work 10

CELEBRATED PRISONS TO VANISH
London's Newgate and Old Bailey to Go
After 700 Years of Use.

Newgate and the Old Bailey are about
to disappear, and the historic prison
and the historic court will live here
after only in novels and in the rec
ords of famous trials. It will be diff
cult to find a Jail and criminal court
to match NeWgate and the Old Bailey
Newgate was built when Henry I.
was king, away back somewhere about
the year HOO, and under the name of
Chamberlain Gate it had a still earlier
history. In 1241, the prison having Eeen
neglected, 1t was renovated and par
TALLY rebuilt by this simple process:
Certain wealthy Jews of London were
ordered to give up 10000 marks, TO lie
expended in repairing the jail. If they
objected and refused to pay they We're
to be confined in the prison until they
did pay. Prisoners in those early days
had no such abundance of food ard
comfort of quarters as they have now
Sir William Walworth, when he died,
left a considerable sum to be used to
keep Newgate prisoners from the star
walton with which they were generally
confronted. He was the Lord Mayor
Walworth who made his reputation by
knocking down Wat Tyler with his
mace when that rebel was saucy to the
king. Sir Richard Wilmington. whom
we know better as Dick Wilmington,
who heard the bells of Bow cry Turn
again" to him, also gave money for
the benefit of the prison.
Besides being a place for the con-
finement of felons of all kinds and of
delinquent debtors, Newgate used to
be a receptacle for mobiles, officers of
state and contumacious gentry who did
not reach the tower. Once when the
prison had particularly aristocratc
assemblage within it's walls--it was lust
after the rising which had been put
down by the earl of Salisbury--a part
of the prisoners broke out and ran to
petition the king while the others took
possession of the prison and held it
against all corners until the citizens of
London assembled in force and clay
in iron the bold rebels
Then there was the sack of Newgate
and the releasing of the prisoners at
the time of the Gordon riots, the story
of which is written in "Barnaby
Rudge." Near by. in the Old Bailey
court room, were tried and condemned
the regicide judges, or rather such of
them as could be caught. who had sat
in judgment upon Charles l., and in
that same court room Algernon Sidney
and Lord William Russell were con-
demned to death for their completely
in the RYE House plots" Some of the
greatest patriots and some of the most
foul and blood-stained criminals which
England has ever seen have heard the
word of death given to them in the
court room of the Old Bailey.
In front of Newgate was built the
Old Bailey galloWs tree when Tyburn
ceased to be fashionable resort for
public executions. Between February
and December one year-17S5-no fewer
than IS people were executed on the Old
