Distance. 1883 Miles. Laps.

Boston, Jan. 6.-Bobby Waithour of
Atlanta, won the International SiX-day
bicycle race in Park Square Garden,
last night, IN on of the most hairrais
ing finishes ever seen. William Stin-
son, the hour champion. crossed the
tape second, 20 feet back, with McEach-
crn a close third. Mclean was fourth,
Fischer fifth, kaeser sixth and DonW-
ney seventh. The official distance was
1899 miles and two laps.
The last few miles of the race lacked
the elements of the pace that kills UNI
til the pistol rang out for the last mile.
Walthour was then leading, closely
pressed by McEachern. who took the
lead only to be passed by kaeser on
the first lap. The Canadian then shot
to the lead, and the men tore around
the track like demons. The lead was
changed nearly every lap.
on the first turn of the last lap Wal
thour made sensational jump and got
a lead of 30 feet over McEachern,
which he held to almost the end. NC
Eachern was so nearly killed off in the
final mile that just before the finish
sstinson. who had kept well UP, shot out
into the fore and headed the Canadian
by more than four feet at the tape.

WAGES FOR WIVES.

1t is urged by Mrs. Fenwick Miller, LII
the Temple Magazine, that wives ought
to be paid regular wages for the services
which they render in experimenting
their husbands houses. We doubt, COM
ments the London Graphic, whether the
suggestion. plausible as it appears upon
the surface, will commend itself to IL
dies who think it over at their leisure.
In strict logic the arrangement which
Mrs. Fenwick Miller proposes would be
incomplete unless it gave the husband,
in his new character of employer of la
Dor, the right to dismiss his wife for
Incompetence or disobedience, to limit her
evenings out, and to fine her (subject
to the provisions of new Factories
Act) when she kept him waiting for his
dinner. Moreover, even if this difficulty
could be gotten over, one fails to see
on what principle the amount of stipend
could be fixes. The "higgling of the
market" would certainly produce curl
Gus results, as we easily realize if we
picture a mature spinster trying to bar
gain with her sutton for better terms on
the strength of her age and experience.
The conclusion of the whole matter IS
that wives are better off as their hus-
bands partners than they could ever
hope to be as their salaried servants.

ing the York River. Now CORVALLIS
had hoped much from his position, ex-
pecting that Clinton could reach him
from New York by sea. Clinton wait
ed too long, however and the French
fleet stationed themselves where they
could cut off any aid that might come
by sea to CORVALLIS
On October Io, at 2 o'clock, the
British gave up the garrisons at York
and Gloucester, the shipping in the har-
Dor and all the stores of ammunition.
The surrender must have been an i'm
pressive sight. Washington sat on q
white horse at the head OF the Ameri-
can line; Rochambeau, on a bay, head
ed the French. Hundreds of spectators
from the surrounding country watched
in silence while the British marched be-
tween the two lines.
CORVALLIS himself was too humiliat-
ed to appear. He sent his sword by
General O'Hara. 1t was received by
General Lincoln of the American troops
and then given back to be returned to
CORVALLIS.
The British captains then surrendered
the colors of the twehty-eight regi-
ments; the army laid down its arms.
Then they were led back to their lines
and kept under guard until they be-
gan the march to permanent quarters IN
Maryland and Virginia.-CMcago Rec

WHEN YORKTOWN WAS BE-
SIEGED.

On the south side of the River York
about ten miles from its mouth and
sixty miles southeast of Richmond, lies
the little Virginia village Yorktown.
Situated on a high bluff, it commands
a fine view of the surrounding country
and overlooks Gloucester, a mile across
the York. Any one visiting the quiet
little town to-day, with its few inhabi-
tants, finds it hard to realize how very
important position it has twice held
in the history of the United States. 1t
has been the scene of two memorable
sieges-once in the revolution and later
in the evil war.
Here on the 18th of September, 1881,
began siege which lasted twenty days.
When it ended the American patriots
had won one of the most important VIC
tories of the revolutionary war, and
had practically secured independence
for America.
On August I CORVALLIS and his
army of about 5000 men had taken pos
session of Yorktown. They had forti-
fed it as best they could. The line of
works completely encircled Yorktown.
Outworks some distance from the towr
were constructed to hinder the approach
of the enemy. A line of batteries ex-
tended along the river bank, and an
chored in the York were several fri
gates and smaller vessels. Gloucester,
too was fortified
In the meantime the Americans were
waiting until all their troops should
reach Williamsburg. When all had
come together they set out with their
allies, the French, for Yorktown.
They so far outnumbered the enemy
that they must have looked very for
midable to the English 1t is not sur
prising that those in possession of the
outworks retreated to the town, where
CORVALLIS was stationed with most of
his troops. These outworks the Amer;-
cans and French took possession of and
began to dig trenches and to throw up
breastworks. The British resorted to
cannonading, but nothing of importance
came of it.
BY the Ist of October CORVALLIS was
in desperate position. On land the
Americans had line extending in
semi-cirele about the British fortifea-
.ions, each and 81 the sprnl.eirs!s tensA.

It Is not an unusual thing to be able

to be almost mysterious in its delicate

There are men who can waken them.

comes, they open their eyes. 1t is very
wonderful. this. The more one dwells
upon 1t, the greater the mystery
grows. Some ego within US. acting In.

Against Pooling With q Revolver.

There are a few lines in "The Art
of Notwithstanding" recent book
by Mr.. Walter Winans, the snoted re-
yolver shot of Great Britain, which
were specially penned for small but
dangerous class of people.
Mr.. Winans once left a revolver ~
ing on a table in his tent at Bisley dur
ing a competition. Some visitors
dropped in, one by one, to lunch. First
came an elderly lady. She sat down
near the table, and her eye immediate

it up with laugh, and pointing 1t at

speaking as peremptorily as a host
may. The lady obeyed. and Mr.. WI
mans explained to her how injudicious
it was to point revolver at any one,
how it might have been loaded, and
SO on.
While he was speaking in came a
clergyman. He sat down and began
talking pleasantly. All at once his eye
caught the revolver. Selling it and

have been glad, we may be sure, to

conduct has often done, the plea at

Strange to say, this woman had for
mulated an apparently fluent language
of her own, which no one was able to
understand. Three of the mission
fathers. versed in every Indian dialect
on the California coast, were quite un-
able to make themselves understood.
Some of the former inhabitants of San
Nicolas were brought from San Cab
riel and Los Angeles. but they were
also unable to converse with her or
interpret her language. But few Of
her words have been remembered.
Man she called "noche," the sky, "toyg-
wah," a hide, "tocah."
Possibly the Alaskan Indians, who
overran San Nicolas in the early part
of the last century, left upon her men,
DRY an indelible impression of their
nomenclature, which superseded her
native tongue in the years when hui
man association was denied. This is
n question that might be settled from
the meagre vocabulary she has left by
