CHARACTER OF REPAIRS.
Deaier Laments That Wheels Are
BEING Made sTToo Goo6.v

NO more practical Illustration of the
Great progress that has been made in BIZ
CEcle construction could be obtained than
rom the testimony of the retail men
concerning the change that has come in
tne character OF repairs. The serious
creakdowns that occurred occasionally a
lew years ago, such as broken front
forks or broken frames, are now practj-
cally unknown in the standardized Amer
lean BICYCLES. Such breaks were danger
Gus, but the possibility of them has been
virtually done away with b. the COM
ehatlon OF many makers and experts to
strengthen weaknesses and refine every
Nhere, so that the wheel OF 1901 stands
forth as machine that is as compare
badly ramIned to be sunk. 1t is seldom
now that the repair men get so much as
broken chain to repair Most of their
work, apart from fixing punctured tires
which is the bulk of all repairing comes
from riders who have been negligent or
had a collision, or are using inferior
wheels.
Twisted handle bars, due to a faH
broken spokes, bent pedals and things
Of the kind, due to running into tree
or another rider, is the common run Of
repair shop business. Still the number
of men and inexperienced riders out who
do get into trouble gives the repairers
plenty to do in these lines The con-
servative rider who uses any OF the old
time makes of wheels can go through
the season fearless of any item of re-
marked recently, when speaking of these
things:
.'NVheels improved? Yes; the trouble Ia
they are making them too COMPOUNDED
good. They don't break, and don't wear
out enough to keep US busy"

A GALA DAY.
Large Delivery of Farm Machinery
Implements. Buggies, etc. BY
J. ". Holmes & Son.

Saturday was an ideal day for the
farmers who patronize the well.known
firm of J. W. Holmes 81 Son, to come to
Alma and take possession of goods con-
tracted for and, considering the busy
time on the farm, there was a large
turnout. The general agent for the
celebrated Mccormick machines, w Il.
Murray, and his assistant, Mr.. friedrich,
were present to assist the firm in making
the delivery.
The farmers were prompt in arriving
so that by noon nearly all was in readi.
ness for the parade, and as the dinner
hour drew near all formed ia line and
headed by the band marched to CT. A.
r. hall where the ladies of the w. r
O., by order of the firm, had prepared
an elaborate spread, one which seemed
to be enjoyed by all, espe cially the band
boys
The parade formed soon after noon,
and led by the band, paraded some Of
the principal streets, breaking up at the
corner of State and Superior while
the band rendered some excellent selec-
tions The procession was over three
blocks in length, being much larger
than the one last year. The display al
though large one, was but a small
comparison of the amount of business
annually transacted by Holmes & Son
as the beet cultivators in line numbered
but 20 of the 20 sold and delivered this
season, and the same can be said of the
Mccormick machinef, buggies ana other
farm tools. That they have the conf
dence and enjoy their share of patron.
age of the people in this vicinity, is self
evident.

The second meeting of the %Irvingron
Athenaeum was held last night at the
Athenaeum Hall in Butler College. The
guest of honor vas Thomas Wentworth
Higginson. of Cambridge, Mass.
The meeting last night was a success in
every particular, although Mr.. Higginson
was compelled TO rest several times during
his speech on account Of faintness.
Over two hundred members of the club
were present when Mr.. Higginson arrived.
He was introduced by President Scot But
Ter. The subject of his address was
American Orators and Oratory, with Spe-
cial Delineations of Everett, Webster,
Choate, Garrison. Phillips, Curtis. Beech
err" Mr.. Higginson said that while litera-
ture appealed to the eye, oratory reached
the ear. 1t represented the audience as
well as the speaker. In oratory there was
a fascination because ii put one face TO
face with the speaker and that sometimes
more could be revealed in the first glance
at a mans face than from his whole works.
Mr.. Higginson said that the fame of our
earlier orators has disappeared because we
have only books TO remember them by. The
two greatest speeches in oratory ever made
in America, Mr.. Higginson said, were the
speech of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg,
and that of John Brown, delivered be-
fore the court that condemned him. After
MIR. Higginson's address, short speeches
were made by Mrs. May Wright Sewall and
William Dudley Foulke, of Richmond. This
morning at 10 o'clock, Mr.. Higginson will
speak TO the students of Butler College at
chapel. His address last night was thor
oughly enjoyed.

The Dainty Paree Burlesquers which
opened a three days engagement yesterday
afternoon at the Empire Theatre before a
large crowd comprises some clever people,
among them being Annie Rich, Maud ELS
ton, Thomas Morrisey and Frank and
Grace Graham. In the opening burlesque,
"A Fairy Farm" the work of a large
chorus is allowed to lag somewhat because
of some poor comedy" In this act Annie
Rich takes a prominent part and also
Maud Ellston, who initiates Louise Carver.
There is but a semblance of a plot in this
act, and in 1t Grace Graham, who has a
in turn b~urlesqued by Tom Morrisey, who
acts the part of a country boy with some
credit.
Eddie De Voc, impersonating a tramp,
shows some skill in his acrobatic work, es-
pecialy while he is jumping into and out of
barrels. Misses Young and Irving are a
lively pair, who won" applause with their
rendition Of popular coon songs and their
puck and wing dancing. Lew Carroll and
Maud Ellston are seen to advantage.
The three Leon sisters work hard with
their acrobatic turn, but are not the equal
of the Nelson sisters seen here last week.
Thomas Morrisey and Annie Rich are ia
miliar faces to the patrons of the Empire,
and they still cling to their sidewalk turn.
but Miss Rich's singing is as good as ever.
Frank and Grace Graham have a legitimate
sketch which they vino up by Mr.. Graham
singing a number of Illustrated songs while
Miss Graham ascends to the balcony and
works the slides. The last burlesque has
I'm 1t a number of choral selections. headed
by Annie Rich, but 1t is spoiled by the in
PRODUCTION of a photograph gallery where
a great deal of suggestive work is done.
