the argument in support of imperialism,

AT PARKERSBURG.

The Next President Addressed n
Crowd of Ten "Reminiscences

From a staff Correspondent.
PARKERSBURG, w Va, Sept. g.
The run from Clarksburg to this city
was made in fast time, but the special
was late in departing from the city in
which the last meeting was held. Mr..
Bryan endeavored to get some much
needed rest en- route, and the party on
the train refused to disturb him when
the crowd clamored for his appearance
at the few stations at which the train
stopped.
very pleasing affair took place
soon after the train pulled out of Graf
ton. The newspaper correspondents on
board the private car, numbering about
dozen in all, prepared a written ex-
preston of thanks to Col. John T. Nc
Graw for courtesies extended, and for
his uniform Kindness and consideration
toward all, during the West Virginia
tour. All signed it, and Col. Bryan also
requested the privilege of affixing his
signature to the paper. Mr. Harry
West, of Washington, ID. C was chosen
as spokesman for the correspondents,
and presented the paper in a happy
speech. Col. McGraw replied in his char
acteristic manner and told the news
paper men that he would prize the pa
per very highly. Then three hearty
cheers were given for him, and all unit

Virginia will be represented in the
United States Senate after March 4th,

reception committee, and Col Bryan

carriages and were driven to City Park

as ten o'clock in the morning, many
carrying lunch baskets with them, in
order to secure positions of advantage
The section of the platform upon which
the speaker stood, was at very high
elevation. Col. Bryan looked out upon
a veritable sea of up-rurned faces,

Wheel KnAnS

| Judging from present PROSPECTS, the
| coming season will he the best wheel sea
| son on record. The majority Of the local
| dealers think they will sell more wheels
! in 1900 than ever b efore. Last year was
| good. but most of them think this year
| will be way ahead of any. year in the
past
In the construction Of the 1900 wheel
| there are very few important changes.
| Frames will be of the SAINT general de-
| scription. About the only difference is
| that some of the best man ufacturers are
| adopting what is known as the cushion
| frame-that isl a frame with a Joint and
a spring in 1 | so that it is not rigid. but
partially abs,orbs the jolts in going over
rough places. Thirty-jnch wheels have
| beeAa almost entirely discarded. The
chan1less are all the go in the east, but
| it is probable that few of them will be
| sold in this section.
One of the novel features introduced
this year is the Morrow coaster brake
With this arrangement on your bike
when you come to a nice long hill all you
have to do is to stop pedaling and let
her go. And then if a dog or woman
or sbme other of those undodgable OBJ
struoltons appears in your path YOU lust
simply give short back stroke and
come to a stop within three yards. All
using. this brake are warned not to lock
it too tight, or you are liable to make a
rather undigniffed dismount over the
handle bars.
The most popular color will be black,
without stripes or transfers. Ladies' dia-
monds are finding more favor in the eyes
of the public. Gears will be lower. the
average being from 50 to IS. PEOPLE are
getting over the idea that It is no more
work to push a 40 gear than it is an 80
On ladies' wheels the gears will range
from IS to IS, but the tendency will be
to lower them.
The following makes Of wheels will be
sold in Wichita during the coming sum-
mer:
The Ariel. Mareh-Davis. Monarch. I'M
perial, Spaulding, Barnes White Flyer,
and Sentinel, by Nusselman Bros.
The Orient and Andrae by Schollenber-
ger Bros.

Pearce.
The Rambler, Syracuse and Eldredge,
by Thos. Shaw.
The Crescent. Sterling and Cleveland,
by Ed Vail.
The Stearns. Racycle. Crawford and
National by Barnes & Newcomb
There does not seem to be any doubt IN
the minds of most of the dealers that
they are going to sell more bicycles dur
ing the coming season than ever before.
The trade Is opening UP very early this
year. and it Is estimated that about
twenty-five wheels were sold last month.
while about five were sold during Janu-
airy. 1899
Mr. c. A. Harris, the representative of
Morgan & Wright was IN the city last
week. He reported trade good until he
struck Wichita He said that the local
dealers had at this early date been oblig-
ed to lay in quite a stock of sundries
and that was the reason they were not
buying. He also said that the Morgan
& Wright people were looking for an in
crease in trade and that they had been
compelled to advance the price on all
rubber goods except tires, and they were
likely to be advanced at any time.

BIOGRAPHY OF A WORD
Worth More Than That of the
Cross-Lots SpeIler,

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 2.-Mrs. Taylor,
widow OF the late poet and essayist Ben
jamin F. TayloEs. sends to the Times
Herald the foll#ing extract from an
unpublished lecture of her husband on
English Words in which he pays his
respects to the fonetic doctors of his
time. Its words are as apropose today
as when they were penned, because they
are words Of truth and soberness, which
alone are eternal. 1t will be of interest
to our readers to learn that Mrs. Taylor
is at present a member of the board of
education of Cleveland, where she no
doubt exercises a powerful and wise in
fuence for the preservation of our noble
language from the fretful zeal of re-
forming busybodies. The reader should
remember that the following is merely an
extract lifted bodily from a discussion
of a broader theme:
Photographic doctors are busy. That
certain improvements may be made in
Robin Hoods barn fashion of spelling is
true. That p-h-t-h-i-s-i-c will spell tizic
is wonderful, but suppose we spell it in
the cheap way, what becomes of the next
generations ignorance of derivation?
The biography of a word is often more
interesting than the biography of the
man who uses it. One of the most charm
ing studies on earth is the natural his
tory of words. Certain editors are claim
ing the right to lay hands upon our sac
red tongue and blow it's photography to
the winds. The right Is not conceded.
The necessity is doubted Whoever has
no associations in the past-to whom no
exquisite fancy, no sterling truth comes
in fitting words always worn-may feel
no rebellion in head or heart to the mutt
lation of his mother tongue.
