We believe however. that 1t is something that can
be checked to some extent. We feel that II is
matter which every cycle rider is interested in.
There are some forms OF crime msdemeanor

putable people but IL seems to approves

THE RAIN STOPS MANY PROPOSED CLUB
RUNs-NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
AT BOsToN-sTOLEN WHEELS.


The rain yesterday morning played havoc with
touring intentions and club runs, most OF the cy-
cling features for the day being postponed. The
weather cleared partially In the afternoon. and
the wheelmen went out in large numbers. Occa-
sional showers would drive them to shelter, but
they continued their rides soon as the shower
was over. AS most OF the roads were in splendid
condition before the rain. all of the dust having
been washed away, the roads dried out In re-
markably short time after tho rain ceased Little
puddles were left in the asphalted streets, show
ing the uneven surface and the lack OF needed re-
pairs. The most positive object lesson was
noticeable the cycle paths In Brooklyn The
old path was muddy long after the rain ceased.
while the new path was in good riding condition
all OF the afternoon. The old path has no founda-
tion and II does not require much OF rain to
cause the mud to show through at the top. There
was plenty of mud around the southern exit OF
Prospect Park. showing that repairs are needed In
that district

Kent Irving Busy.

Said member of the Philadelphia
Art club TO reporter for the Philadel-
phia Record:
When Sir Henry Irving was last in
Philadelphia, we gave him big blow
out. 1t was n sort of smoker, and each
guest was supplied with one of those
long churchwarden pipes. Everything
went we'll for a time. and Sir Henry
seemed to be having a real sociable
time until some fellow, who was q
rank outsider. asked him to write his
autograph on the pipe bowl. A pencil
was produced. and the actor smilingly
assented That was the beginning OF
an avalanche of white clay pipes Their
owners came at him from all sides. 1t
was a trying ordeal. but Sir Henry sub
mitted to it with good grace. For two
solid hours lie sat there and scrawled
his signature on uipes. 1t was well on
toward daylight before he made his es-
cape If he comes to the Art club
again. he will undoubtedly demand
promise that there will be no pipes.

FRONT ENTRANCE OF NEW CUSTOM HOUSE IN
NEW YORK
United States. This matter has been
for some time under consideration, and
it is likely to come before congress this
winter in the definite form of bill ap-
propriating $1,000.000 to be used in
constructing two wings on the north
and south sides of the White House.
Plans for additions and alteratio
have been prepared by Colonel a. T.
Bingham, superintendent of buildings
and grounds, which are approved by
President Mckinley. He is known to
be in favor of the passage of some bill
by congress to remedy the present in
adequacy and to meet future needs.
1t is just hundred years ago that
the White House was inspected by
George Washington and pronounced
ready and suitable for occupancy. 1t
was then unquestionably one of the
finest structures in the country. Dur
ing all the years which have elapsed
since then the building has undergone
no material alterations 1t is no exag-
geration to say that the White House Is
today less comfortable and convenient
than hundreds of private residences In
Washington.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
symptoms OF a Very Common Trouble,

There is no disease so common in
the United States as catarrh because
it appears in so many forms and at
tacks so many different organs.
1t is common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined to the nose
and throat. Any Inflammation OF
the mucous membrane wherever To-
Gated accompanied by abnormal Sc
cretions. is catarrh. Catarrh of
stomach or bladder. or intestines is
nearly as common as nasal catarrh
and much more serious although IT
is true that stomach catarrh and ca
tarrh of other internal organs is the
result of neglected nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently ap-
peared which so far tested seems to
be remarkably effective in promptly
curing catarrh. wherever located.
The preparation is sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, and in addition to be-
ing very palatable and convenient,
possesses extraordinary merit. in
many cases giving immediate relief
from the coughing, hawking and
constant clearing of the throat and
head, those symptoms with which
everyone is familiar who has ever
suffered from colds in the head and
throat.
Catarrh is simply continuation
of these symptoms until the trouble
becomes chronic and grows gradual
ly worse from year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed of Hydrastin, Eucalyptol,
Guaiacol and similar antiseptics and
catarrh specifics, from which it will
be seen that no secret is made of the
ingredients and also that no mineral
poisOns are used, as is the case with
many we'll known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of tie nose. throat,
bronchial tubes, for catarrh of the
stomach, intestines or bladder no
preparation is so safe and gives such
rapid and permanents result as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for full sized package, You can use
them with assurance that yOu will
not contract the cocaine or morphine
habit as the results from this ca
tarrh cure are apparent from the
first days use.

Akron Mothers Will Profit

Another.

Among all classes of people we
find children suffering from weak
kidneys. The intelligent mother
knows that this is not habit and
searches for Il remedy. 1t is some
thing very hard to relieve and the
family physician tells her that the
child will grow out of it in time.
Sometimes they do and sometimes
they do not. In the meantime an
nOyance and embarrassment is the
is it not an act of charity, is it not IA
duty to make it public? Should sell
fishness or pride keep it concealed?
Mrs. Edmund Benson of l2i Wooster
ave-, has used DOan's Kidney Pills
in her family and makes the follow
ing statement for the benefit of anX-
ious mothers and the relief of inter
esting little children.
Mrs. Benson, says: Il procured
Doan's Kidney Pills for my child
from Lamparter & Co.'S drug store as
they were recommended for reliev-
ing children of embarrassing trouble
with the kidneys. The use of Doan's
Kidney Pills acted like magic and
checked the nocturnal annoyance at
once. l am a firm believer in the
merits of DOan's Kidney Pills and
have recommended them to my ac-
1uaintances. They are harmless
yet effective and are most desir-
able remedy for children.

Larges, Emerald In the World.

A vase cut from a single emerald
has been preserved in a cathedral in
Genoa, Italy, GOO years Its dimensions
are: Diameter. 1872 inches; height. 81
inches. Every precautiOn is used to
insure safekeeping. Several locks must
be opened to reach it. and the key of
each lock is in the possession of
different man. 1t is publicly exhibited
very rarely, and then only by order of
the senate. A precautionary decree
was passed In 1i16 forbidding all per-
sons to approach the priceless treasure
too closely. An antiquarian advances
the theory that it was one of the gifts
made Solomon by the Queen of Sheba,
and has written book to prove his
assumption. 1t is difficult in these

terial with which it is proposed to
make the contemplated additions.
Architects who have been consulted
have expressed the opinion that the
wings could be added without in any
way detracting from the beauty and
harmony of the original designs. As
one of the historic buildings of the ma
tional capital it is of course desirable
that as much of its originality should
be maintained as possible and at the
same time meet the increased demands
which Il century of national growth
has brought. SAMUEL HUBBARD.
