The fifth annual bicycle show that Is
to be held at Madison Square Garden
commencing January 20, 1900. gives
every promise OF being one Of the most
attractive exhibitions ever held In the
country.
Mr.. II. L. Coleman OF the Western
Wheel Works, who has continuously
followed the cycle shows OF America,
and was formerly president Of the
Cycle Board OF Trade. says that he 10
convinced from present indications that
the show this year Will mark the open
Ing Of very successful cycling season.
MIR. Coleman says that all the promi-
nent makers have taken space and the
exhibition will be exceptionally interest

Of the bicycle viii be more complete
than ever attempted, and will show In
an intelligent and attractive manner
each improvement as II appeared The
new wheels will be critically examined
by the public. and visitors Will be given
a chance to see the factory mechanics
at work. One Of the most interesting
exhibits will be that of the chain CON-
pany. who will exhibit a model OF the
Brooklyn Bridge. made OF cycle chains.
The Pope sales department will ex-
hibt new gear-cutting machine. which,
in itself. will be quite an attraction to
those Interested in the bevel gear

All the makers will give away souven-
IRIS. and the souvenir seekers will have
plenty Of them TO select from.

Malietoa Tanus further charges the
missionaries with extracting all the
money possible from them in return for
which they only received a Bible. a

He instances the Wesleyan missions

DUTCH SETTLERS IN JAVA.
And that Northlanders can thrive in
a tropical mountain country Is proved
by the prosperity OF the Dutch settlers
In Java. That little island nets the Hol-
land government an annual income OF
Sc 200, 900, though the colonists come In
frequent competition with the industrial
native tribes. Java, with less than So
900 square miles, has population
equalling that Of Holland and Belgium
taken together, while Sumatra. nearly
twice as large as Great Britain, has
only 5000, 900 natives and few hundred
thousand Chinese and Hollanders.
There would be room for FIVE times as
many, and In the uplands alone for the
entire present population OF Dutch
speaking South Africa. The coast
jungles. II is true, are fearfully malari-
Gus, but so are those of Ceylon, where
nevertheless the mountains Of the in
terror rise 10 a plateau which Sir Sam
uel Baker pronounced "sanitarlum
for the homesickness Of the schnapps-
fuddled Hollander, since up here
squatter can intoxicate himself with
sunshine and aromatic highland
breezes."
From the east coast OF Sumatra a
chain OF marine rocks leads, like a
bridge. to the still larger and even more
sparsely settled Island Of Borneo. where
likewise the enterprising Dutch have
gained a foothold and could give their
countrymen points In the art OF dis
lodging the shiftless natives Nay, their
restless traders have pushed further

OF having to concentrate their efforts
upon the pacificatlon-alias massacre
OF the nelghboring Flipinos.
With Java and Celebes the Sunda
group comprises nearly 100000 square
miles. and in the course Of years the
reunited Dutch colonists might there
conquer q grander island empire than
the Spaniards ever ruled In the West
Indies.
