SPORTS AT THE PARIS FAIR.
World Championship Races for Wheel
men-Revival of Olympian Games.

The French minister of commerce
and industry of the Paris exposition
has arranged the general regulations
for the international sports and ex-
ercises to be held during the course of
the exposition. The meetings will
take place in the district of vincennes
| and are divided into 10 sections, as
follows: Athletic games, gymnastics,
fencing, shooting, horsemanship, eye
ling, automobilism, nautical sports,
iife-saving and aerautation
The meetings of the athletic sports,
gymnastics and fencing will take place
in the district of the Lake Daumesnil,
forming an annex to the exposition.
The meetings for shooting will be
held in the grounds of the Wood of
Vincennes.
The musical hippodrome at Vim
cewnes has been selected as the place
of meetings for horsemanship, and the
cycling exercises will be held in the
Velodrome of Vincennes. The LONG
distance cycling races will be held
outside the Enclosure of the exposition.
These bicycle races will be one of the
most interesting and novel features of
the great international fair of 1900
The automobile races will be held in
the bicycle annex to the exposition.
A space of 5000 square feet has been
secured by Commissioner-Gener
Peck for the American bicycle build
ing. 1t is located in conjunction with
special bicycle track for showing the
bicycles in operation. American
builders are expected to present the
largest and most important bicycle ex-
hibit made by any country.
Paris will be the Mecca of all the
great wheel pushers during the expo
sition and champion for the
past 10 years are to have
trial at the honors and incidentally at
the dollars offered as prizes. The pro-
fessional bicycle riders have complet-
ed their general plans for the COM
ing outdoor season and most of them
have decided to visit France, where
the largest purses will be held up.
The Paris exposition races have been
arranged on generous scale and the
pick of the profession viii meet there
and on other European tracks, where
several big races will be held.
Harry Gibson of Cincinnati, the
middle distance cycle champion of the
world, has accepted an offer to ride at
the Paris exposition. Frank Mayo
of Boston will handle him and run his
motor cycle.
George Banker of Pittsburg. the in
ternational champion of 1898, will so
to Paris and be included with the
American colony. Arthur w. Ross,
the Iryington-Mulburn winner, and Of
late the leading amateur rider. will be
an attache Of the Elks party.
In addition to the above there will be
number of pacemakers, as theAmer-
leans viii make their own pace.

1t is the plan of Kiser, Cooper and
Gardiner to form a team of three,
employing one trainer, and go to Paris,
proceeding from there to Genoa, Italy,
where they win prepare carefully for
their season. These three riders will
pool issues and go after the big prizes
to be offered during the season IN
France and all over Europe.
1t is the plan of Fixes to go to Eu-
rope With Zimraermann, Eddie Bald.
Cooper, Kiser, Gardiner, Majah, Tay-
lor, Eddie McDuffee, the three Butler
boys and host of other sprinters, and
with such riders as Harry Elkes and
Miller in the long-distance races, the
European champions will need to look
to their laurels.
1t is a well-known fact that Ameri-
can bicycles have eclipsed all foreign
types, not only in England, but in
France, and the French manufacturer S
are greatly disturbed over the large
| amount of space which has been &C
corded to the American bicycle dis
play. A. g. Spalding of the A. G.
Spalding company has taken an ac-
tive interest in the bicycle exhibit from
| the United States, and it is greatly
due to his enthusiasm and hard work
tina. this country will be splendidly
represented in this particular display.
Two of the big eastern universities,
| Princeton and Pennsylvania, have
| signified their intention of sending
| teams to corepete in this second revi-
val of the famous Olympian games.
| Western athletes will be we'll repre-
sented by strong team, which will
| go across under the maroon of the
university of Chicago. Harvard
and Yale are making elabo-
rate preparations. 1t is probable that
many of the star crimson and blue
athletes will go over and compete
individually. Pennsylvania will be
able to pick the strongest represen-
| tative team. Kraenzlein is such a
host in himself and has so easily de-
runners, that it is scarcely probable
he will find his match abroad. Orion
and Grant will probably join the Qua
! ker team.
Among the nanny attractions of the
Paris exposition will be a reconstitu-
ton of the Athenian Stadium, to which
all champions of the world will be in
vited.
The promoters propose to erect q
vast arena nearly 1000 square meters
| 1882 square YARDS in size, and dc
commodating 100000 persons in the
Avenue de la Grande Armee.
In addition to Olympic and modern
sports, the arena will be arranged
that all kinds of games and spectacles
can be given; bull-fghts, Arab fantas-
les, Mexican and cowboy riding, foot
races, tournaments, wrestling, boxing
fencing and shooting and from antiq-
uity will be borrowed gladiatorial
combats, triumphaI marches to the
capitol and the theater at Orange
From the middle ages will come mys
tories, floral games, crusades, courts
of love and the magnificence Of tbs
reign of Louis XIV, and from our OWL
times, military episodes and corona
| ton festivals.

To Get Rid of COOKING Odors

A woman who lives in one room and
does light housekeeping has hit upon
a plan for cooking without leaving
odors in her tiny domain. A strong
pine packing box has been firmly
screwed to the outside of the window.
Inc top is slartirg and is covered
with tar papoc. The sides are per-
forated by holes az irch In diameter.
to carry off odors and steam. On the
lower shelf of the extension is the gas
stove, attached to the main pine
through hole bored in the window
sash. This allows the window to he
closed during the cooking. On the
upper shelf are the cooking utensils.

Bad Water at Tientsin.

1t is believed by naval officers who
are acquainted with Tientsin that our
troops there will be exposed to great
danger from disease by reason OF the
bad drinking water. 1t is said to be
extremely impure and productive of
typhoid fever and kindred diseases.
Distilling ships for the use of the
army are to be sent to the Peiho river,
which will, it is hoped, be able to sup
ply an abundance of distilled water.
But this will not entirely remedy the
trouble. When soldier is on
march OK is not and thirsty he will
ordinarily drink the first water he can
get, no beer being at hand. In the
Philippines and in Cuba the soldiers
were advised to boil the water before
drinking it. But this advice was
largely thrown away. Boiled water is
especially unattractive where there is
no ice to cool it, with. The climate in
the country round Tientsin ami
Pekln is most trying. 1t is hot in
summer and bitterly cold in winter.
much colder than it is here, although
the latitude is almost identical with
that of Maryland.

irg fred salute required by ! ne
regulations: Il have 20 good reasons,
SAID the captain, for not hrlng the
salute. The first is had 70 powder
The admiral at once excused him from
giving the other 10 reasons. Miss
Goggin's ninth reason for remaining In
single blessedness and emitting to
change a name which might be
changed to advantage is that no one
had ever proposed TO her. That excuse
might have been accepted as sufficient
without putting the lady to the trouble
of giving the other eight. Neverthe-
less some of the other eight reasons
are good and sufficient and some ale
frivolous. For instance, she says she
will not marry even if asked because
her husband might take 10 parting his
hair in the middle. demurrer to
this plea would be ruled good by any
court in Christendom, provided the
judges are married men. They would
know that shortly after entering the
married state the man would probably
have no hair to part, and that In the
meantime the wife would comb his
head for him. Another plea which
Miss Goggin makes is equally weak
and shows that she knows nothing of
mankind and is no fit judge of them.
She is afraid to get married, she says,
because the man might like tides Ii
this single lady had studied man, and
we are told It is the noblest study OF
mankind, she would have known long
ago that there is only one thing in the
world man hates worse than tidy
and that is pillow sham. The third
reason in the list is equally groundless,
and that is she fears ner husband
might call her pet names. She had
heard the husband of one of her
friends call her his "Dnckie." This
she rightly thinks would be unbear-
able, but taking into consideration all
the circumstances of the Ease we are
forced to conclude that this is false
alarm and that Miss Goggin would
have made stronger case, or one at
least as strong, if she had let it rest
on the ninth reason alone, namely,
that she did not get married because
no one had asked her.

From the Chinaman's Point of View
His Empress Is Perfection.

THE Chinese empress does not
meet completely the Anglo-Saxon de-
mand for female beauty" writes Poult-
ney Bigelow in Woman's Home Com
panion, 'but then the Chinaman is not
wholly satisfied with our type, and on
sound democratic principles the celes-
tial has some color for his opinion, see
ing that he is one of four hundred mil
lions, while our ideal represents but
seventy-five millions. Personally. it is
hard for me to appreciate beauty in
one who is short and fat; whose feet
are the size of salt-cellars; whose flesh
has the modelling of bolster: whose
eyes are oblIque, and whose natural
skin is overlaid with white and red
paste. Yet what | am pleased to con-
slider my taste is, from the Chinaman's
point of view, merely outlandish pre-
JUDGE; and on the standards prevail
ing in Pekin the dowager empress is
easily one of the handsomest women,
exercising personal fascination
which entities her to rank with such
heroines as Catherine of Russia or
Queen Louise of German And as to
antiquity of pedigree, the Romanoffs
and Hohenzollerns are mere upstairs
in dynastic enterprise compared with
the power in Pekin, which draws its
authority directly from celestial
sources in prehistoric eras.
Let us then admit at the outset
that in the matter of birth and beauty
of China eclipses not merely anything
of its kind in Europe, but throws into
the shade anything dreamed of in this
fair country of ours, whose boast it is
that we have set the standard for SOW
ereign woman The Chinaman in gen.
eral is completely convinced that in all
that constitutes higher civilization he
is the superior of the white man. He
has invented more different kinds of
mechanical Improvements than all the
rest of the world put together; mis-
wise men were masters of science
when Europe was a bowling wilder
ness; no other country has held to-
gether so long as this huge empire.
and its subjects not NATURALLY con.
clude that such grand results must
have sprung from institutions whose
excellence is unrivaled elsewhere. of
these institutions the highest exponent
is the dowager empress and her
party"

Hydraulic Mining Threatens to De-
stroy the Pacific Harbor.

ShiOy AtC
In California a renewal of The old
agitation against hydraulic mining has
been started by influential agricultur-
lists. 1t is asserted that the restrain
ing dams built under the Camenatti
act. for holding back the debris of the
mines, are Intellectual and do not full
fill the purpose intended, the result
often of faulty construction or deliber-
ate Indifference to the careful require
ments of the law. Chinese are the
principal offenders and much litigation
has been the result Floods have
swept away many of the frail struc-
lures, with all the accumulations of
sand and rocks, and the consequences
have been the ruin of agricultural
lands and the increasing shoaling of
navigable streams. Fifty years ago
I began the disastrous filing up of
streams, caused by the general and
unrestrained pursuit of hydraulic min
ing. No estimate can be made of the
quantities of debris washed down by
this process. The evil results are Wis
ible in thousands of acres of fertile
valley lands deeply covered over with
sterile sands washed down by flooded
streams from the mountains above.
The area of navigable waters of the
state is seriously curtailed.
| In 1S49 the Sacramento was a clear
and limpid stream, navigable for YES
sells drawing seventeen feet of water
as far inland as where the city of Sac
ramento now stands, and for 200 miles
! further for vessels of seven or eight
feet draft. Now steamers and barges
drawing not over three and one-half
| feet can navigate the river at summer
stages to Sacramento, and but twenty
inches if they are bound to Red Bluff.
The three fathom limit, which in 1S49
extended to Sacramento, has contract
ed at the rate of one mile per annum
for the last fifty years, and is now at
Porto Costa.
For over twenty years, or since the
cessation of hydraulic mining, the
streams of California have never re-
gained their original limpidity and are
even now apparently bringing down as
great an amount of solid matter as
ever. This is accounted for, in part,
by the vast mounds of debris thrown
out by early operations, which even
tually find their way into the current
through the operations of floods. But
the process of filing up the bay comes
also through the involuntary assist
ance of the agriculturists themselves.
Scientific investigation demonstrates
that the silt now flowing into the bay
is not from the mountains altogether.
but is in great part the soil washed
from lands plowed for agricultural
purposes. The very element that so
consistently demanded and achieved
the destruction of hydraulic mining is
now doing that for which they sue
cessfully denounced an interest which
in the past has contributed so greatly
to enrich the Notwithstanding Amer
lean.
