4 BICYCLE NEEDS
YOUR OWN CARE
BY A. A. Zimmerman.

There is one thing about bicycle riding
to which the average rider does not give
sufficient attention an0 on which many
cyclists lack information altogether. The
majority of riders have yet to learn that
keeping a bicycle in oruer is of equal
Importance with knowing how to ride.
Some do not 10 what should be done
with a bicycle at the end of a days
Journey.
A bicycle requires as mbch care as
any other piece of machinery-and more.
The rider who takes good care of his
wheel is well repaid for his trouble. At
the n of the season he has a wheel that
Is really in better condition than when
he started with it new in the spring.
Barring a few scratches in the enamel, it
Is far superior in every respect to the
new wheel.
IMPROVED BY CARE.
All this Of course applies to the high
grade wheel made of first-class material.
II one has a cheap wheel it doesn't make
80 much difference, because a cheap
wheel is of no service at the end of the
season, no matter how much care is
taken of 1t. That, as we'll Us anything
else, illustrates the difference between a
high-priced wheel and a cheap one.
When the riding season is over the high
grade wheel is worth ait least half of
what was originally paid for it; the
cheap wheel is worth nothing. because
nobody wants 1t, and the machinery is
played out completely.
In caring for the wheel one rule must
be constantly observed and above all
Others. The machine must be kept clean
and in a place where dampness cannot
reach 1T. Not only does a clean wheel
hook better, but when clean there is lit
tie or no friction in any Of the parts
Keeping it out Of the dampness also pre-
vents the formation Of rust and all the
parts work easier and more freely Wher

exactly alike and keep one in a dry place

running and appearance OF them will be
marked in a very short time. I rave

In cleaning the wheel, every bit Of
dust should be removed and only soft
cloths shout be used. because anything
else will scratch the enamel. The cloths

Boni's conduct with the glorious tradi-
tons OF the CastelIane family. One felt
grieved, he said, to find such falsehoods
written with the pen of a Castellane.
Count de Castellane wired Wertheimer
after his arrival in New York that he
was well satisfied with the voyage, which
counsel said Wertheimer interpreted as
meaning that the Goulds would finance
him.
Counsel for Count de CasteTane, Maitre
Bcnat, acting for Coudert Bros, of New
York, contended that Wertheimer had
been striving to prevent the case from
coming before the courts, but the result
had been unfortunate for him, as the ma
ture of Wertheimers business must be
exposed.
Maitre Bonat said George J. Gould con-
sidered Wertheimer gave credit to a
young married couple, who had no thor
ough comprehension of the value of mon
ey on terms very advantageous to him
self.
Wertheimer, counsel contended. while
giving Count de Castellane time to pay,
offered to make exchanges whereby he
took back the finest objects of his collec-
tons. Wertheimer had no right to say
Count Castellane was pursuing a dis
honorable course.
Counsel claimed that Wertneimer had
abused the confidence of the young peo-
pie, and if the latter had committed fol-
lies, it could be said that for the last
eighteen months they had been cruen5,
atCning for them. Moreover, henceforth.
they would devote themselves to wiping
out the Indebtedness. Before the con-
clusion of the argument the case was ad-
journed for 4 week.

Counsel explained how the count cheer
fully accepted all the transactions. ex.
pressing satisfaction until the last mo-
ment, when he turned and accused
Wertheimer of usury
Ma1tre Foucauld presented details Of
the various transactions and replied to
the contention that the articles were coIS
at exaggerated prices. He explained tt at
Count POM de Castellane sold a number
Of articles and Wertheimer asked the
buyer at what price he would resell them
to him. The prices asked were above
those at which Wertheimer sold the
articles.
Counsel quoted one article in a batch
which the count asked him (TEertheimer)
to sell on the eve of his departure for
New York, which Count de Castellane,
counsel said, asked q higher price than
he had paid for the article. Wertheimer
nevertheless, sold the batch at the count g
figures.
Nothing could be more painful, assert
ed Maitre Foucauld, than the steLe taken
by the Castellanes to avoid the suits.
VINO could have expected such an atti-
tude from a Castellane? No one could
reproach Werthetmer for placing conf
dence in the man who had contracted
marriage with the richest heiress in the
world, one whose fortune the press de-
scribed as fabulous. The count, when
hard pressed, told Werthemer that Mr..
Gould would pay.
COUNT UNTRUSTWORTHY.
The counts conduct at this period, ac-
cording to counsel, resembled that Of
child. He was surprised at his wrong
doing, and requested his creditors to
keep from Mr.. Gould the real extent OF
his Indebtedness. Later the count affirm
ed his own brother would pay Wer-
theimer, but through his brothers law
yers, not through his (he count's)
hands.

Bonf was thus obliged to admit that his

IRELAND GOING TO CUBA
ARCHBISHOP OF ST. PAUL TO REP
RESENT THE PRESIDENT.

DULUTH, Mimi. Dec. 2O.-Archbishop
Ireland, of st. Paul, is to make a trip
to the island of Cuba shortly after the
first of the year by commission from
President Mckinley and will investigate
certain matters there with reference to
the interests of the Roman Catho ic
church in the island and will make rec
concentrations to the president with ref
erence thereto. Bishop McGolrick, of
Duluth, has been invited by the arch
bishop to accompany him. The mission
of the archbishop is said to be the in
vestigation of questions in dispute re-
specting the allotment of church pros
poets in the island 1t is surmised that
the president believes that the selection
of one of their own ,churchmen for the
mission will convince the members Of
the church in the island of the fairness
of the intentions of the government OF
this country in it's treatment Of them,
and the president at the same time has
confidence If the fairness Of the dis
tinguished American prelate.
When the archbishop leaves for Cuba
a government boat will be placed at his
disposal and he will make a tour Of the
entire island, studying the conditions and
all phases Of the question which he is

FUTURE PROGRAMME.

Inquiry at the state department as to
the future of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
just ratified with amendments by the
senate, developes the fact that, contrary
to the common understanding, the docu-
ment does not need to be returned at this
stage to the British government, even If
the president is of a mind to go on with
the negotiations.
Secretary Hay will await an indication
of the presidents wishes in the matter,
and if the latter, as has already been in
dicated by official statements, concludes
to give the British government an OPP
portunity to pass upon the amended
treaty then the state department will
forward at once to that government, not
the treaty itself, but the terms of he
amendments. In diplomatic parlance, the
British government will be notified" of
the amendments. According to the state
ment Of the officials of the state depart
ment, Great Britain must then be al
lowed a reasonable time within which to
accept or reject them. AS to what would
constitute q reasonable" time, no direct
expression was to be had, but the atten-
ton was directed to the fact that the
United States government has had the
treaty under consideration for a year,
and that the amendments made today
were beyond dispute vital
INTERVIEWED HAY.
The ministers from Nicaragua and
Costa Rica were both in concultation
with Secretary Hay today, with reference
to the probable action of the United
States senate on the pending Hay
Pauncefote treaty. Neither of the minis
tiers was prepared to admit knowledge
of the intention Of his government in the
event that the treaty is ratified in its
proposed amended form. The protocols
drawn up among themselves and Secre-
h
the United States Of such rights in
Nicaragua and Costa Rica as may be
necessary for. the construction of the
canal, are broad in scope, probably pur-
posely made by Secretary Hay in
view of contingencies of senatorial ac-
ton. Therefore it is probable they may
be sufficient in themselves, and without
further amendment to constitute the
basis for the preparation of the treaties
which must precede any canal building
by the United States.
The state department is about to sub
nit a comprehensive reply to the in
quiries initiated by Senator Tillman and
Senator Morgan respecting the exact
position of the Panama Canal company,
and the nature of the negotiations that
have been exchanged between it and the
United States government for the pur-
pose of supplying congress with material
for a choice between the Panama route
and the Nicaraguan route. It probably
Will be shown among other things that

partment thought that the sum of $685.

rights and properties which the Panama
Canal company could turn over to the
United States In the event that the choice
fell upon their route. The canal company
regarded this sum as ridiculously made
