Hickman Will Do Well

q am positive" he continued, that Hickman has a great deal more in him than any of his admirers here realize. I saw his great mile in the east and if he is riding as well now, there will be surprise for Peabody when he gets ready to shake the little southerner and go for the tape. At any rate, those attending will see the greatest race ever put up in the south, for 1t will be ba oi kings"
 The races between Peabody and Ped will be at a distance of one, two and five miles and will each be a championship for that distance. If Hickman succeeds in winning even one of the races his fame will be world wide, for the nvincible form Peabody has shown for the past three years has caused the cycling authorities to consider him in a class by himself and simply un- conquerable. As an indication of the Chi cagoan's form at the present time his win ming of the championships of the Amateur Athletic Unions on last Saturday is sufnc- tent to prove that he is riding his best.
 Hickman, too, is going the best gait he has ever travelled and knowing ones are looking for a surprise party with the white-haired wonder in the role of the sur prise. All the most important champion ship medals and cups belonging to Peaoody will be on exhibition Thusday, including the world championship cup which he won in Montreal a few weeks ago.
 Other Local Cracks In 1t
 Riddle and the other local men claim that Hickman and his mighty rival will be compelled to take the dust off their wheels in the open events, and from the speed they are showing in training there seems to be good grounds for their claims. The Chica- go papers will have special reports sent them from the track side, a telegraph in strument being placed in the grand stand for that purpose. Great interest is taken in the match by Chicago rooters, as Pea body recently expressed an opinion that he

As to Whether the Opium Habit Can
 Be Cured

How to permanently and effectively cure people addicted to the use of opium and whisky has been a question since time be- gun. Nearly fifty years ago Dr. B. M. Woolley, of Atlanta, Ga, began scientific study of these habits, and so successful has he been in their treatment that he is today regarded the highest authority in this country. If interested, write him. He will tell you the truth.

Fay in the English Navy.
From the National Review.

From the National Review
In the case of admirals and vice admirals
eleven are employed with pay and allow
ances averaging some .2,500. but the half
pay is only about ESQ. A senior captain
gets E93O on full pay and f301 on half pay:
a senior commander G43s on full pay and
s1S2 on half pay. At the present moment
the proportion of officers employed is high
er than 1t has been at any time during
the last forty years. In 1Sl1 there were
nearly 50 per cent of the senior officers on
half pay; at present there are only "a per
cent of captains and about 20 per cent of
commanders on half pay. OF late years
the number of appointments has increased
faster than the supply of officers; but as
the numbers now being entered are going
up rapidly, there will tend to to be more
promotions to the higher ranks and more
half pay when there.
A bachelor lieutenant can live on his pay,
and usually does SO; but when an officer
thinks of marrying it is very different
affair. Let us suppose that senior lieuten-
ant, aged 80, becomes engaged to be mar
ried. A very thrifty man might, II a spe-
eiaIist, save 910O per annum during his
last two years as lieutenant, but II neither
gunnery nor torpedo, his best chance OF
promotion would be as first lieutenant, and
then he is bound to put his hand Into his
pocket for painting his ship. and would
save little or nothing. AS lieutenant CON-
mander he might save ESQ per annum. Al
az our lieutenant becomes commander
and may look forward to year on hall
nav at f155.

woue, voter. i'm an Ad.mle.s Eden.

A whole town in the Swiss mountains has
suddenly come under petticOat government.
This is in the Canton Ticino. where stern
necessity REQUIRED that the women m 1bs should
had emisrated to seek for work that the
municipality was without voters, and could
not make laws and elect officers.
The commune of Melano having especial
ly suffered from the dearth of men. and
all parish business having come to a stand
still. the parish council has decreed that
during the months Of spring and summer
the emancipation Of the women has become
a necessity for the discharge of public bus
mess; that, therefore, in default of deputies
of the male sex, each member Of the parish
council may be represented by woman
member Of his own household, the women
having the same right OF vote as belonged
to the duly-elected but mainly absentee
council Of males.
In consequence of this measure the COM
mune of Melano is at present administered
by council Of wives and mothers. as
sisted by a few aged men and invalids, who
are stated to form the opposition. The
liberal press Of Ticino approves this new
form Of government, while the Catholic or
gans are strongly opposed to 1t.
