Bicycling.

r A. MCFARLAND, probably the
best of all-around racing cyclists,
has decided to discontinue sprint
racing, and will hereafter essay TO gain
glory and dollars in the middle dis
tance field lie has proven his ability
as sprinter by scoring over every
good man in the country, while his win
of the last six-day races shows him to
possess great endurance. He is also
the best handicap rider in the field.
The talifornian's advent in the game
OF following the motors Will be watch
ed with interest. His first race will
be at Newark on Saturday with Ar
thur Ross, While on Monday he will
contest with Nelson at Madison Square
Garden. On June 20 he will figure in
"A twenty mile race at Boston against
Michael and Linton; July 3, at Provi-
dence, with Michael; July 4, at Phila-
delphia, against Michael and Pierce.
1t Is the intention of the American
Bicycle company to elevate and pro-
mote the sport of cycle racing by
proper methods and proper men. With
this end in view a large team of pro-
fessional riders has been engaged,
and an effort will also be
made to increase the interest i'm COM
petition among amateurs. 1t has been
finally decided to arrange the country
into twenty-eight districts. and four
handsome gold medals will be offered
in each district for the best compete
tion record made by amateurs at /, 2,
. and 10 miles
The conditions are:
!. The rider must be mounted on a
wheel made by the American Bicycle
company
2 The race must be held under the
sanction of the n. G. A.
3, 1t must be an open race, starting

from scratch, with or without single
pace, or in a handicap when a man
must start from scratch.
The winner must be a resident Of the
District or state in which he is con-
testing for a medal.
At the end of the season, October Is,

THE NEED FOR NITROGEN,

Western civilization, pushing ever into new
lands has left behind il slerlly OF soil which
within a few years. has brought from the keenest
scientific observers a most serious note OF warn
ing. A day OF reckoning is almost at hand, when
the earth will no longer be able 40 feed the peo'
Pile. There is no help to be had through farther
pushing onward, for vast as seems the parts OF
the earth yet unsettled, il is declared that in all
that area there is little land which can profit
ably be brought under the dominion OF the
plough For the Older fields, which must be our
dependence, one thing alone, the agricultural
chemists declare, is necessary TO bring them back
10 fertility. This is fixed nitrogen. Many AM
bilious attempts have been made to catch the
frtstious nitrogen of the air and turn it 70
commercial use, One OF these, carried on az
great expense and with persistence, was conduct
ed within recent years under the leadership OF
William II. Bauldin. ir,, formerly OF Baltimore.
Success seemed almost assured, when an exple
sion in the works ended the life OF their chist
engineer, the late George II. Sellers, of Philadel.
phia. leaving the problem still unsolyed.--

and lilies. There will be eleven or more
of these water figures, about twelve
feet high, on the center axis of the
Court of ounFtains.
There will be a group OF statuary
representing the Genius of Water
just north of the Court of Fountains
basin. In front OF this group water
will be made to boil in manner
serving to carry out the sculptors
idea. 1t will be in constant violent
agitation, rising to height Of four or
five feet above the level of the sur
rounding water in the basin.
CLIMAX OF EFFECTS.
The climax of the spectacular light
ing effects will be reached In the basin
in front of the Electric Tower and of
the water effects in the niche in the
tower, which is 20 feet above the ba-
sin. On each side of the central axis
of the structure will be located two
groups of jets of water with 26 large
pillar jets, throwing water to height
of 80 feet. On the arc of the circle
whose center is the niche in the tower
will be located some AZ large Jets,
throwing water in parabola CURVES to-
ward the cascade in front OF the niche.
These Jets will be arranged so as to
make a very ragged stream-that Is to
say, not broken up as much as in the
spray jets. From the niche itself Wa
ter will be thrown by means of de"
flector, breaking the entire volume
1900 gallons per minute-into an i'm.
mense water screen.
The arrangement of the color disks
to blend the prismatic colors OF light
thrown on the water in front of the
Electric Tower will be operated SO as
to produce gradual but constant play
Of changing colors.
The decorative lighting Of the build
ings In the grounds takes advantage
Of the many designs In staff and
brings them out either with translu-
cent effects or outlined with points Of
light. Advantage is also taken of the
numerous towers and domes to produce
a starry effect and the illusion of an
infinite number of points of light.
Effects Of surprising beauty will be
produced in the courts. AS an in
stance, in the semicircle around the
Fountain of Abundance there will be
a he'd of most beautiful flowers. which
will be illuminated at night so as TO
bring out all their delicate colors,
The electric lamps for this purpose
will be concealed, and their light will
be entirely absorbed in the bloom of
the flowers, making one of the prettt-
est effects imaginable.
Many problems of electrical 'llumin-
alton, with particular regard to their
decorative effects, which have in the
pasf baffled solution. have been made
plain by later study and experiments
and will be seen In their perfection
at the Pan-American exposition.

By One Who Knows

My experience in getting money for
Tuskegee has led me to have little pa
thence with those people who are al
ways condemning the rich because they
are rich, and because they do not give
more to objects of charity. In the first
place, those who are guilty Of such
sweeping criticisms do not know how
many people would be made poor, and
how much suffering would result, If
wealthy people were to part all at once
with any large proportion of their
wealth in a way to disorganize and
cripple great business enterprises. Then
very few persons have an idea of the
large number of applications for help
that rich people are constantly being
flooded with Much money is given
away by persons who never permit
their names to be known. I have often
heard persons condemned for not Civ
ing away money, who, to my own
knowledge, were giving away thou
sands of dollars every year so quietly
that the world knew nothing about it.
For example, there are two ladies in
New York, whose names rarely appear
In print, but who, in quiet way, have
given us the means with which to erect
three large and important buildings
during the last eight years Besides
the gift of these buildings, they have
made other generous donations to the
school. And they not only help Tuske-
gee, but they are constantly seeking op-
portunities to help other worthy caus-
es.-From Booker T. Washington's "Up
From Slavery"

CHARLES MARVIN GETS
THIRD PARAu TIC SHOCK

Charles Marvin Worcester's veteran
city messenger was stricken with appo-
plexy yesterday noon and is in a crit
ical condition at his home 20 Benefit
Street.
Mr. Marvin has not appeared well
for day or two but made no COM
plant. He walked home to- dinner yes
terday as was his custom and started
to enter the yard of his home when he
was stricken. Michael ]. Ryan, driv-
er for the Cooperative Coal Company
was passing and saw Mr.. Marvin fall.
He went to his assistance and helped
carry him into the house. DR.. c. w.
Whitaker was called and he worked
over Mr.. Marvin for several hours but
last night he had not regained con-
seriousness. Little hope is entertained
for his recovery.
Mr.. Marvin has experienced two
shocks of paralytic nature, the last
about a year ago, but recovered and
has been able to get down to- his office
almost every day.

AGENTS for Good

At one time, when was in Boston.
called at the door of a rather wealthy
lady, and was admitted to the vesti-
bule and sent up my card. Whilewait-
ing for an answer, her husband came
in, and asked me in the most abrupt
manner what I wanted. When I tried
to explain the object of my call, he be-
came still more ungentlemanly in his
words and manner, and finally grew
so excited that I left the house with
out waiting for a reply from the lady.
A few blocks from that house I called
to see gentleman who received me in
the most cordial manner He wrote me
his check for generous sum, and then
before had an opportunity to thank
him, said: II am so grateful to you,
Mr.. Washington, for giving me the op-
portunity to help a good cause. It is a
privilege to have a share in it. We in
Boston are constantly indebted to you
for doing our work" My experience
in securing money convinces me that
the first type of man is growing more
rare all the time, and that the latter
type is increasing: that is, that, more
and more, rich people are coming to re-
gard men and women who apply to
them for help for worthy objects, not
as teggars, but as agents for doing
their work.-From Booker T. Washing
toms up From Slavery"

MRS. KING AND A W0ULD-BE
THIEF IN A GAME OF TAG

Mrs. Emma King. proprietress of a
boarding house at 40 Park Street, had
an exciting experience with a would
be thief yesterday morning. She drove
the thief through three rooms and
finally out into the street, after she
had taken a revolver and a bunch of
keys from him.
The man, who gives the name of
George Sullivan, has been living with
Mrs. King for a week. Yesterday
morning she noticed him acting
strangely, and on investigation fot@
him trying to get away with some
clothing belonging to James Rogers,
one of her boarders. She chased him
out of the room and into the garnet,
where he threw himself into a corner.
Mrs King followed him to the garnet
and, seeing him in the corner, said: Z:
What are you doing there?" and the
thief answered: I'm hiding"
Just then he went through the gar
ret floor and one of his feet punctured
a hole in the kitchen ceiling. This
enraged Mrs. King and she told the
crook she had sent for the police. This
was sufficient to start the thief, and
he disappeared. Inspector Arthur F.
Roach went out on the case.

TWENTIETH CENTURY
BURGLAR IS LITERARY

Chief of Police William ]. f. Stone To-
Gated a new kind of thief yesterday. This
one writes letters to his victims, but the
chief feels satisfied that if he isn't a bet
ter burglar than he is a writer chances
are that he will not remain out of prison
long
Yesterday morning, some time between
Ills and 7.30 o'clock, a sneak thief en-
tered the home of George Morgan, 10
Grand Street, and stole two pocketbooks.
One of them belonged to Mrs. Morgan
and contained S2.15, and the other was
owned by the servant girl and contained
&.15. A small souvenir of the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition was also taken. How the
thief gained entrance is not known, but
under the front door was the following
note. Morgan. don't We blame anyone
for this for your son took up all my time
it is for him 1 went / was in your girls
room before she went near being shot if
was if ourside of the windy i am your
friend. j am sorry did not get more"
The note is written in a scrawly hand,
very much like the writing of a child in
the first grade at school. There is no
trace of the burglar, but the impression
entertained by members of the family is
that the work was done by some one
familiar with the premises.
