Griffith v. Precs. the United States
Consul at Swansea. Wales. reports to the
State Department that there has been a
decline in the American bicycle trade in
England and Wales because the Aucrf-
can made wheels do not seem to be adapt

PTees makes the following suggestions
concerning the manufacture of bicycles
for English use:
First-HandIe bars should have seven
eighth inch stems; width, about fifteen
inches
Second-BTalle work should be better
fitted Rim brakes are now used on al
most all machines. 1t i, claimed here
that a good set % brake work has not
been seen on an American machine
Third-CraHks should be of the square
pattern, keyed on both sides OF the axle;
axle to be tjve-eishths Of an inch in diam
eter at ends. CEanks should be seven
inches long, with holes tapped. with right
and left hard threads, in ends for pedals:
pedal sPindlts, nine. sixteen. and twenty
threads The crank shaft should be OF
one piece, not forged III two pieces con
nectsd by a screw. Owing to the hard
stony. and for the most part rough sur
faced English roads. this screw becomes
Ioosenod and gives constant trouble to the
English rider, while the one-piece crank
is supposed to give Grmness and strength
to the whole machine.

TOOK sTRYCHNINE FOR CoDEINn

DR.. T. f. Thomas, one of St Angus
tines leading citizens, had a narrow es-
cape from self-poisonng Sunday The
doctor had been out in the cold wind Sun
day morning, and a neuralgia headache
resulted from the exposure. He had
some tablets in his pocket. which he be-
leved to contain codeine. He took two
of those tablets. Within a minute or two
he experienced the sensation of witch
ing of the muscles of his hands and legs.
This soon passed off and he became dizzy.
Believing that he had not taken enough
of the drug ne took four more. In an in
slant conclusive shocks racked his body.
He knew that he had been poisoned, and
that the poison was strychnine. He had
taken enough to kill six men. He rushed
into a nearby drug store, took a large
drink of mustard, which acted as an
emctic. and his stomach was entirely
emptied of the poison. Physicians were
summoned. and they continued the use of
antidotes and the stomach pump until his
stomach was thoroughly cleansed of all
possible traces of poison.

Sparrow Commits Suicide.


Two English sparrows were found dead
side by side in a field, near Smith Pond.
Cherry Valley, Mass, by a party of gun
ners. One of the birds had been dead for
some time, but the other expired while
the hunters were within eyesight, and the
men say 1t was a case of suicide. The
attention of the men was first attracted
by the distressing cries of the second
bird, which was on the shore of the
pond. The men drew nearer and watch
ed. The sparrow was seen to put its head
under water and allow it to remain there
for time. 1t repeated this ducking sew
eral times at short intervals.
The last time the sparrow's head re-
NAMED under water longer than before.
and the men drew closer only to find
that the bird had hoped to the side of
its mate and lay there expiring. The
hunters said it was a clear case of sui
eide. They are men of wide experience
in field and forest, and in all their
trips, they said they had never seen a
bird show such attachment as was dis
closed by the sparrow which died of its
own desire.

The tug-of-war is now on at Tampa,
between two of the most powerful, as well
as the most wealthy interests in the city.
1t is the fight between the Ybor and the
Manrara interests. This is a result of
the meeting and action last week of
part of the board of directors of the
Ybor City Land and Improvement Com
pany. Property TO the value of $4,000
was sold and property to the amount Of
$50. 600 was mortgaged by the directors 10
Aaron j. Bach of New York. The money
was placed in the treasury, and the di-
rectors Immediately declared a dividend Of
200 per cent. and this was paid at once.
This transfer and mortgage was made
about one week before the regular meet
ing Of the stockholders was called, and
represented those who are designated ~
the Manrara faction. leaving the Ybor
heirs and their interests out of it alto
gether. The stockholders met Tuesday
and A. B. Arias of New York, represent
ing the Ybor heirs and president Of the
Florida Brewing Company of this city.

new directors at once declared the previ-
Gus transaction, the sale and mortgage,
to be nun and void and ordered their
attorneys. Carter & Sparkman, to pro-
coed at once to bring the proper action
in the courts to annull the entire trans
action. The property involved in this
legal fight is estimated TO be worth more
than 500 600. Application has been made
