THE SIX DAY CYCLERs.

They Are still Grinding Ont Miles.
But Are Fifty-Two Miles Behind
the Record.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE fourteen
weary six-day grinders kept grinding
out mile after mile at the rate of about
eighteen miles an hour, and at II
o'clock the leaders had covered 1924
miles an laps, with the third team
just one lap behind.
All the contestants in the big race
are reported to be IN such shape as
will insure their continuing to the fin
ish at 10 o'clock tomorrow night
Madison Square Garden was taxed
to its utmost capacity tonight, the
audience rising in their seats and
cheering madly when one of the riders
made an effort to gain over his fell
low riders.
The feature of the days riding was
the performance of Kaser the seeming
ly tireless partner of Ryser, who, at
o'clock this morning, by a marvellous
burst of speed, stole a clean lap on the
racers and repeated the performance
shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon,
this time, however, having to circle
the track twenty times or over two
miles before he caught up with the
bunch
At the end of the fifth day the six
day riders were 81 miles behind the
record made by Waller and Miller.

WHEELING MANS STORY.
Information Concerning q RobSer,
at Woodsdeld, Ohio, Thursday
ESrb<

information Concerning q Robbery
| at Woodsdeld, Ohio, Thursday
| Night.
! A well-known employee of Wheel
ing firm arrived in Benwood yesterday
morning and told the authorities the
story of robbery in Woodsfield. O., in
which he had been the victim. He
| stated to Squire Henry Riddle that
| three men relieved him of a diamond
! ring and about forty dollars in money
while he was in the Ohio town Thurs
| day night, and he gave a description
of them. He said that he and the
| thieves, who were Wheeling men.
| started for home on the same train
over the narrow guage road, and that
they got off the train at Shadyside,
and then started across the river in a
skiff, paying the owner OF the craft
dollar to do the rowing. He inferred
from this that the men would very
likely board street-car on the West
Virginia side, and therefore that
his information might lead to their
arrest in Benwood.
The victim of the robbery contin-
ued on to Bellaire and crossed to Ben
wood on the ferry. Five minutes after
he started over the railway line for
Wheeling three men answering the
description given arrived at Benwood
over the Moundsville line and boarded
car 46 on the Wheeling railway. On in
structions from Justice Riddle. Con-
stable John Levy also boarded the car
and remained with them on the trip
to this city, while telephone message
was sent to police headquarters Civ
ing the facts. This car was boarded
by Officer Bero on the South Side, and
was stopped by Lieutenant Michaels
at Market and Sixteenth streets. The
men were taken to the city building,
where they later handed over the dia-
mond ring to its owner, who also ap-
peared on the scene and identified
them as the thieves. The money was
demanded, but the men maintained
that they had won it from him. No
charges were preferred, and the men
were released.

WHERE He FAILS.
z. L Bertrand Says Mr.. Sheldon
Should Display News.

z. L. Bertrand, the staff correspond
ent of the Chicago Tribune, who is COW
ering the Sheldon paper, gave the State
Journal the following signed criticism
of Mr.. Sheldon's first issue:
am not in a position to criticise
Mr.. SheldOn's paper from the ground he
occupies. 1 shall say, however, that
aside from the peculiar makeup of the
publication the Capital paper does not
depart widely from the course pursued
by many of the first-class dailies with
any pretenSionS of deeency. For in
stance the rules laid down for the
conduct of the Chicago Tribune could
be adopted by Mr.. Sheldon without con-
Eliminating his paper. Crime is kept
down to the smallest possible space,
and when it is mentioned the horrors
and the indecencieS are carefully
omitted; divorces are ignored entirely,
and SalaciOuS news is froWned on OF
course we print fuller market reports,
criticise the drama and devote more
space to sporting affairs. I cannot
approve the makeup of the Capital.
As a newspaper think news should
be placed upon the most prominent
page-the first. It seems to me that
there is enough clean news going to
fill a front page. The people buy news
papers for news, and if Mr.. Sheldon
cannot preach a sermon in type from
the live topics of the day he is a poor
preacher and a poorer editor. Neither
do I approve of Mr. Sheldon's non
partisanship in politics. The salvation
of the body polite is next in import
ance to the salvation of the immortal
soul, and it seems to me every good
citizen and every good newspaper
should have pronounced views on the
subject of the government of the peo-
pie.
believe, however, that Mr. Sheldon
has given a successful demonstration
of his claim that a paper can be pro-
duced along the lines laid down in In
His Steps" 1t will require more than
a week to bring success or prove prac-
ticability In considering his 100000
subscription list Mr.. Sheldon should
not confound permanent interest with
transitory curiosity.
