THOMAS ]. KEENAN,.
New President of the League of
American WheeImen Is Man
of Great influence.

Thomas Johnston Keenan,, Jr., was
born in Pitts burgh, Pa, in 1860, where
he has resided ever since, and is one of
that live city's most prominent citi-
zens. He is one of the principal owners
of the Pittsburgh Press, was its founder
in 1884, and is at present its editor-in-
chief and president of it's board of di-
rectors. Asa newspaper man Mr.. Keen
an has been much honored at home and
abroad. He was one of the original
members and president of the Pitts
burgh Press club. He organized the In
ternational League of Press clubs,
body embracing more than 1000 men
and women. He was it's first president
and has been chairman of its. govern
ing board continually since its organi-
zation ten years ago. He is the'Amer-
lean director of the Worlds Bureau of
Press Clubs, embracing the principal
press associations of Europe and AmeS-
lea, having been honored in 1897 by be-
ing sent to Stockholm as the first Amer
lean representative.
Mr.. keenan, takes an active interest in
charity, and through the columns of his
Paper, the Pittsburgh Press, raised a
fund Of nearly $4,000 for the erection
of the Pittsburgh home, one of the
finest institutions of its kind in the
United States. At the convention of
the Waif Saving associations of the
United States, held at the world fair,
he was elected its first vice president,
when Gen. Alger was elected to the
presidency. He was the organizer of
the Publishers Press association, and
has been at the head of the American

added by BRAIDED trimmings. Brown,
navy blue, plum and bottle green are
the colors most in vogue-when plain
colors are used - but mixed suitings
will be employed in the building of the
most fashionable costumes.
If you have not yet made your bicy-
Gle suit choose some pretty mingled
goods for it. A dark red background
with irregular brown designs scattered
through it, or brown with red distrib-
uted in the same way makes charm
ing costume. The skirt should be
about even with the shoe tops-some
have it little shorter-and trimmed
around the bottom with wide braid put
on plain or in decorative design. The
braid can match either the background
or the figures.
Have a waist of flannel, usually the
color of the design in the goods, and
a short Eton jacket of the goods itself.
The revers are of flannel trimmed with
narrow braid.
High bicycle shoes and iaunty Tam
O'Shanter complete the costume.

POSITION OF RIDERS.
Cyclists Claim That by bending Over
the HnndIebnrs They Obtain
Better Speed.

There are few more interesting pur-
suits than the study of the ever-varyin9
riding positions which find favor with
riders. When the safety was first in
troduced the riders rode well forward
following the position on the "ordi-
nary" or high wheel, which was almost
directly over the pedals. About 1892
change took place, At which time the
system of curving the seat post tube
to follow the outline of the rear wheel
was introduced.
This allowed the rider to get very
Tar back, and cases were otinfrequent
where extra long saddle posts were
used to enable the rider to get still
farther back. Then, when, few years
later Arthur Zimmerman rode a wheel
seated well forward, and showed how
much more speed could be attained by
riding in. this position, reaction set
in, and nearly every rider followed his
example.
From the on the moNement to bring
the saddle well forward has been
steady. Seat posts have changed from
a backward l. to forward j., and the
l. portion made longer. In number
of cases in the 1899 patterns, the han
dle-bars are set more forward tkep
ever,
Several manufacturers, instead of ex.
tending the seat post, have straight,
ened the seat post tube more generally
bringing the rider over the pedals, and
at the same time bringing him closer
TO the handle-bars. 1t is easier to ride
sitting well over the pedals with a
slight forward position.

Small Tires In Demand.

"The use of smaller tires" says an
Englishman, threatens to become
great on the race path in England next
season, and the fashion set by the
French cracks of using one-inch tires
promises to be copied to a large eX-
tent by English riders, who will, no
doubt, find that for the best cement
tracks an inch tire should prove an ad-
vantage. The smaller the contact area
with the track the faster the tire must
be, especially if very light fabric. With
smaller tires and 26-inch wheels, next
seasons racing and records will be in
teresting studies, and | have no doubt
that some of the lighter and smaller
pace followers will try experiments
with 24-inch wheels"

THE MOTOR CARRIAGE.
1t Is Destined to Grow In Popularity
and VIII Interfere with
the Horse Business.

Among the more recent developments
of the age is the motor carriage which
is becoming very common even in this
country. 1t has long been in use in
some of the leading cities of Europe,
notably Paris. London and few 9TH
ers. Ii has of late been introduced
quite largely in New York and is a
very useful and practical conveyance.
The bicycle is admirably adapted for
individuals, but this carriage is equally
suita BILE for family purposes. The mo-
tive power is furnished by small en-
gine and in some cases by a storage
battery. The storage battery, how
ever, is not much of success, as it is
not capable of long journeys without
being recharged. The principle of the
motor carriage is practically the same
as that of the small boats on the river
in which power is generated by the
use of naphtha or kerosene. The time
is not far distant when this carriage
will become quite common and it will
still further reduce the number of
horses in use. The great tendency is
10 mechanical devices which will rem
der unnecessary manual labor or the
use of horsepower. We can imagine
what a picturesque sight it will be
to see families driving out on the
streets in these carriages and stopping
at intervals to do their shopping or
other business as they pass along the
streets. When that day comes. how
ever, it is certain that there will be a
great demand for smooth paving

Life Saved by Swamp-ROot.
The Grent Discovery That Cures Kid
ney and Bladder Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself most
wonderful cure for all diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable successin curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root
and containing some of the thousands
upon thousands of Testimonial lettersre-
ceived from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative prop
