Has Most Bicycles.

Denver, COL, has more bicycles In
proportion TO its population than any
other city in the country. Imagine 40
600 wheels in city OF 100000, or one to
every four persons, whether men, wom-
en- or children, and you have an idea Of
the extent Of the bicycle in daily service.
They are used in every line of busi-
ness, and the street car companies
claim they lose traffic valued at $1,000

sponsible for the popularity Of the
wheel, as 1t is conceded that ordinary

this the fact that neither lights, brakes

1t will be necessary for the citizens Of

TEN TSIN, June 5.-A representa-

Huang Tsun, on the Pekin-Tien Tsin
railway, to-day, and found that the
station had been burned and two
bridges damaged. The officer com
handing the Chinese troops on duty
there said that two hundred of his
men had bolted, and only fifty remain
ed. These fought well, killing a num-
Der of the boxers. The boiling troops
were badly cut up in the adjacent
broken country. 1t is stated that six
ty were killed or wounded. Some of
their bodies were recovered, frightful-
~ mutilated.
Bands of boxers are patrolling the
neighborhood, but have not interfered

representatives.

deserving their posts and the troops
sent TO guard the stations appear to be
worse than useless. The guard of $50
