Chief White was elected at the same
meeting, his appointment to take effect at
once. He was in Office for six months, when
the Bemis board was displaced by the
Broatch board and White with twenty-tour
other officers shared the consequences OF the
change,
The successor Of Chief White was A. T.
Sgwart who served one year, when he was
reduced to captancy by the board domi-
mated by Commissioner Herdman. His reign
was not marked in any notable way and he
continued to hold the position of captain
during the life of the ruling board. He is
now engaged as a watchman at a Sou h

installed c. " Gallagher as chief, which
position he held for one year, when the
board was ousted by the ruling of the su-
preme court.
After a brief interim with only an acting
chief Martin White was unanimously elected
to that position holding it during the last
year OF his life. The administration OF
Chief White was remarkable for the absence
of crime, the binding over of offenders and
the recovery of stolen property. At his
death the natural candidate was Captain

ice, and his appointment followed within

RANK, DISGUSTING CATARRH
Millions Continue to Suffer from This
Disease All on Account of
Improper Treatment.

There Is no disease so disgusting as
Catarrh, Your breath is most foul and you
are continually hacking and coughing and
emitting purulent matter from your mouth
which Is equally as disgusting to your
friends as II is annoying to yourself
Some people. and, in fact, most people
who have catarrh resort to local applica-
tions for its treatment. The nasal douche
salt water and penetrating balms, etc
might be all right in some places, but the
delicate membranes of the nose were not
made subject TO such violent and irritating
treatment,
Catarrh from its very origin shows that
the whole constitution is disturbed and is
proof positive, that through the constitution
alone can It be cured. There is a remedy
now fast forging it's way To the front as a
positive cure for all forms of Catarrh,
known as Gauss Catarrh Tablets They are
taken Internally and their action on the
mucus surfaces and membranes Is imme-
diate. That dun headache disappears the
breath becomes pure and sweet and the
whole constitution Is benefited by the re-
storation of the stomach TO its natural
working condition.

In estimating the status of the bicycle
the figures of the manufacturers indicate
that If the sport has lost much of the hur-
rah style Of popularity it had few years
ago the number OF riders has Increased.
statement OF President Spalding of the
American Bicycle company is that the con
Germs in that combination produced this
year 900 bicycles, which is 100000 more
than the came firms turned out in 1898. Thes2
figures tell story that is not to be gainsaid
by any number of calamity howlers. Tho
plants that comprise the American Bicycle
company have a capacity Of several thou
sand wheels more than this and, as Presi-
dent Spaldng says that he sees no reason
why tho ratio of increase should not con-
tinue, it is quite likely that the output for
1900 will be 1000, 900 cycles. In fact, some
trade authorities estimate that the product
of next year will be 1,250,000. The ratio
OF increase will be augmented by the eX-
port trade, which is growing more rapidly
than the home trade. The figures for the
current year have not beeu made up, but an
idea of the magnitude of the foreign busl-
ness can be gained from the record of 1887
49, which shows that the exports of bicycles
exceeded in value that of any other manufac-
tured article, and surpassed even the value
of all agricultural implements. Now that
the American Bicycle COMPANY bs4 been
formed, a systematic building up of the ex-
port trade will be undertaken and it may
be expected to increase much more rapidly
than when the business was prosecuted in
desultory way by competing companies
with comparatively small capital.

appeared to be present in the pursuit OF
some sociological mission; to observe the
masses in a moment OF relaxation. Several
times they passed through the length OF the
Midway and were finally espied by two
young society men who were present with
the different ambition to make everybody S
acquaintance and to show everybody a good
time. The youths quickened their step and
soon drew alongside of the lonely strangers.
Their easy manner indicated that they were
not accustomed to having their attentions
treated with Indifference. Adopting his

remarked:

Colonel Keith FalConer OF the British
army, who was killed few days ago in the
Boer war, was one of the earliest and most
notable figures in the history of cycling. 1t
was in the '7O's and the early SOS, when
the sport was in it's infancy, that Hon Ion
q. n. Keith Falconer who was then an un-
dergraduate at Cambridge, became prominent
as gentleman amateur" rider, and he did,
perhaps, more than any other to make
cycling popular in the aristocratiC circles of
England. He never came to America to ride,
but he established records on the high wheel
which for years were acknowledged the best
in the world, either amateur or professional.
In 1876 he was the acknowledged champion,
having won the annual four-mile race of the
Amateur Athletic club After the Cambridge
track was built he made twomile record
on it that was not beaten for several years,
although professionals tried for it. He was
the first to complete long distance ride that
attracted general attention in 1882. He
started on June from Lands End and rode
to John O'Groat's distance of 994 miles,
in thirteen days, lacking one hour and fifty
minutes. On the last day OF this trip he
pedaed 100 miles Keith FalConer was large
and powerfully built, and his steed en- this
occasion a fifty inch ordinary that
weighed forty-ive pounds. On July 90 of the
same year he became the fifty-mile cham
pion, covering the distance on the track at
Crystal Palace in two hours, forty-three
minutes, fifty-eght and three-fifths seconds
This was the best record in the world. His
record for fortysix miles of two hours,
thirty minutes, thirty-three and two-fifths
seconds made on July ., 1882, at Crystal
Palace, was also world beater. Falconer
represented the top notch of amateurism in
the days when the sport was purest. He was
contemporary with II. L. Cortis and Jack"
Keen, and by special invitation delivered
several lectures on the sport
