THE AVERAGE LIFE.

1t is difficult to determine accurately
the average life of a good bicycle, but
it is estimated that the ordinary per-
son, riding to and from his business
and for pleasure, covers about 1000
miles in a year. There are Sterlings in
use that have been ridden nearly 10000
miles, which would be equivalent to 20
years of average service. One Sterling
bicycle was ridden in one year over
$4,000 miles, and in doing this the
wheels rotated in their bearings near
ly 25,000,000 times, and the bearings
when examined showed no appreciable
wear. The bearings for the '99 model
Sterling are the S. e. j. special drawn
steel, corbonized and ground bone, to
diamond temper, and ground on their
own centers, making them not only
true, but absolutely in line with each
other. Felt washers and ball retain
ers are used throughout. The Pacific
Cycle q Manufacturing Co. have so

HAPPENINGS IN MANILA
PAPER ADvICEs FROM WEST OF
AMERICA.
Signs of the Times Indicated the Re
cent Uprising-Aguinaldo Would Not
Allow Travel.

Letters and papers received from Ma
Mia today were forwarded just before
the recent outbreak, and of course tell
nothing of the exciting events begin
ming with February 5th The last pa
per bears date of January 29th. Let
ters are about the same.
All of the Hawaiian boys are getting
along nicely at the time the letters
were written. Harry Murray was in
the brigade that later charged on and
took the water works, and was doubt
less in that fight.
Major Milsaps, editor of the War Cry
and organizer of the Honolulu Saliva
tion Army post, is holding meetings in
the various regiments at Manila and
organizing Salvation Army corps
among them A chapel tent has been
put up in the Nebraska regiment for
this purpose.
Sergeant G. A. Lampman, Company
X, Third artillery, and quite a party of
comrades visited Aguinaldo at Malo-
los the last week in January to get
passports to travel in the country.
They were courteously but firmly re-
fused. While in the rebel lines they
were shadowed constantly, and there
was every indication that the insur-
gents were preparing for some sort of
a coup. At Malalos two Americans,
who had wandered into the country
without passports and had been capt
ured, were turned over to the Lamp
man party, to be taken back to Ma
nila.
The American of January 29th re-
ports the arrest of sixteen natives at
Manila for making the long keen blad-
ed knives known as the "bolo," with
which they fight, and which have been
declared by the authorities to be weap-
ons of war On the same day Richard
Patterson was fined $50 for the larceny
of n small quantity of ammunition
from the United States government,
He is supposed to have sold the stuff
to the insurgents, but proof of the fact
could not be obtained. Patterson Is an
American. who has been in Manila but
few months.
January goth one of the guards in
the Santa Cruz district, a member of
b company. Thirteenth Minnesota, shot
and mortally wounded a native. The
wounded man was with a group of ma
tives and when the guard approached
all fled. The wounded man proved to
be a captain in the insurgent army. He
died next night in the hospital.

ROYAL SOCIETY TRUE TO THE
EARL's MEMORY.
A British Museum Appropriation is
Granted Only on Condition That
that Name Should be Used.

Word has just been received by the
trustees of the Bishop Museum from
DR.. Sharpe, chairman of the committee
of the Royal Society of England having
the work in charge, that the first part
of the work on the insects of Hawaii
is nearly completed r. c. L. Perkins,
who was here and did the first work.
and is writing the book, sends word
that he has just received the first col
ored plates for the book.
There is one very curious circum-
stance connected with this publication.
Throughout the body of the work the
Islands will be referred to as Hawaii
and Hawaiian. But on the title page
they will be spoken of as the Sandwich
Islands. The reason for this is that
when Captain Cook discovered the Is
lands he gave them that name in hon
or of the Earl of Sandwich, then the
first lord of the admiralty. The Royal
Society has always stuck to
that name and it was only on condi-
tion that it should be used on the title
page that the appropriation for the orl-
ginal research and the publication Of
the book could be secured from the So
ciety.
The collection of Island fauna, in
cluding the almost exhaustive repre-
sentation of Hawaiian entomology,
secured by r. c. L. Perkins, under the
direction of the Royal Society of Eng
land and the Bishop Museum, is now
here, but is not yet on exhibition.
The work on the Bishop Museum an
mex is progressing rapidly, although
the contract does not call for its COM
pletion for nearly year yet.
But while the building is in progress
the work of getting the exhibits ready,
which are to occupy 1t, is going on.
The labor of classifying, indexing and
cataloguing the exhibits is a Herculean
one and an assistant to the curator
has been secured to enable it to be
done.
OF the large amount of natural hsto-
ry exhibits ordered from the far fam
ed Ward of Rochester, N. Y, about
$4,000 worth has already arrived.

SAY HAWAIIAN PLANTERS HAVE
ADVANTAGE.
No Growers in the United States so
Favored as They Are-Anticipate
Lower Figures for Centrifugals

Willett e. Grays last letter to sugar
men includes, besides the usual batch
of information, comments at more or
less length on the crop situations and
prospects i'm Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. OF Hawaii they
say that the planters there, on ac-
count of having no duty, are more IA
vored than any other producers of the
United States. This statement will be
taken with surprise here, as 1t has
never been known in this country, If
any other, that beet and cane growers
of the United states were under even
the usual heavy burden of taxation to
an extent that frequently obtains In
smaller countries.
The circular contains prognostica
tions on the cash market which have
not been borne out. Prices, in place
of falling, have advanced. This is
what they say:
1.-THE strength of the raw sugar mar
ket at the close of last week continu-
ed into the present with sales at a fur
ther advance of 1-16 cent per pound
and basis of Az cents for SO test. La
ter, however, on a reactionary tenden-
cy of the European markets, the ad-
vance was lost on several sales made
at Lie cents off, and the market stea-
dy and firm at the same quotation as a
week ago.
AS regards the immediate future,
there is feeling that If Europe con-
tinues weak our markets may eventu-
ally sell off 1-16 cent per pound more,
or say to Az cents. particularly as we
are now lie cent above the parity or
Europe. In fact, our quotations have
already permitted sales of Peruvian
crystals at basis of So cents Trans
actions also include a steamer cargo
of centrifugals from the new crop of
Porto Rico, the planters there not yet
deeming it desirable for some reason
to keep the sugars back until action
for free duty from that island Is taken
by our government"
This is what is said respecting the
Hawaiian Islands:
THE Sandwich Islands appear to be
fully awake to the great prospects
they have before them of marketing
their large crops of sugar without the
payment of duties, an enormous ad-
vantage granted to them over any
other sugar producers Of the United
States. The value of stocks in sugar
corporations in the Islands is natur-
ally making very rapid advance"

ANOTHER ASS BRAYs.
Captain Minor Now Posing as an Ex-
pert Pathologist.

Captain Minor, late of the City of
Columbia is proving himself as reliable
a publicist as he was a navigator. The
following interview from him has been
sent out from Seattle:
SEATTLE, Wash, February r.
Captain Walter S. Milnor, who recent
ly returned to Seattle after investigat-
ing the spreading of leprosy in the Ha
waiian Islands, has reached the conclu-
sion that in ten or fifteen years there
will be an epidemic of the dread dis
ease in the United States. He says it
will be brought here by the United
States troops who stopped over at Hon
oulu on their way to Manila. He says:
With leprosy already introduced
upon the islands it is not difficult to
imagine how it succeeded in spreading
so frightfully under the conditions eX-
listing. Into this vitiated atmosphere
a lot of reckless, rollicking American
soldiers were dumped for a while, and
it is through carelessness of some in
seeking dissipation that an outbreak
of leprosy can be expected in the Unit
ed States "

BONNIE JUDD HURT.
viii Probably Lose the Use of His Left
Leg;

Bonnie Judd spent bad night and
Is in very poor condition today The
tendons of the leg just below the left
knee were completely severed by the
kick of the horse yesterday afternoon.
Immediately the muscles, or the ten
dons. above the knee drew up. 1t will
be impossible to connect this break
again and the use of the leg in future
is almost wholly despaired of.
Judd was leaving the Club stables In
a brake about 8 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, when the accident occurred.
The horse he was driving stopped and
kicked back, striking the young man
just below the left knee as stated. He
got out of the brake but could hardly
stand The tendOns of the leg have
since drawn up.
The accident is deplored by a large
circle of Mr.. Judds friends in town.
The loss of the use of his leg will be a
sad misfortune.
