Champion Woman Rider.

Miss Lizzie Claw. the German woman who is the feature in the Cycle Whirl at the Auditorium this week. is the cham pion woman bicycle rider of the United States and Germany She has a record of mile in 1:43 which is very close to records held by male champions before motor pace was introduced.
 Miss Claw is a nervy little woman, and it Is a wonder she does not carry an ac- cident policy in every company In the country. Few women risk their lives as often as she does. Every time she goes on the miniature track, which Is at an angle of 75 degrees, she takes her life in her hands. as it were In speaking of herself Miss Claw said:
 T was born In Berlin and was an ath- lete from the time I was able to go out and play. Twelve years ago I started rid ing on one of the high wheels, and have been at 1t ever since. I have beaten every woman rider in Europe and every one in this country.
 'I came to America during the Chicago Exposition in 1893. and won my first American race at Tattersall's, In Chicago. I defeated Miss Anderson and Mile. Liz ette, the famous French rider. In Minne- apolis I defeated twenty riders in an open race.
 ''I rode a handicap race with Jimmy Michaels and Charlie Miller, defeating them both. I also raced Star Patchen, the famous trotter. at Joliet Ill"
 The rest of the bill at the Auditorium continues to please and good houses are the rule.

The first symptoms are those of acute catarrh resembling a hard cold and if prompt treatment is applied at this time 1t can easily be broken up; one of the best remedies at this stage is Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, sold by druggists every where. and if taken freely. say one tablet every hour or two for two or three days the danger of pneumonia and serious complications will be averted.
 The Rev L, F. Palmer, Baptist clergy man of Ceresco. Mich, makes a state ment of interest to all catarrh and grip sufferers. He says: "Stuarts Catarrh Tablets have cert ainly been blessing to me. I have used them freely this fall and winter and have found them q safe guard against La Grippe and catarrhal troubles from which l have suffered for years. I feel that I can freely and con- scentiously recommend them"
 Persons who suffer from catarrh of the head and throat are very susceptible to La Grippe, and such will find pleasant, convenient and safe remedy in this new catarrh cure.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are composed entirely of harmless antiseptcs and may be used as freely as necessary, as they contain no cocaine, opiate or poisonous drug of any kind.

 cety in London.

New York, March 12.-Details of a flying machine which Dr. c. F. Burton is constructing for the War Office were given by him in paper read at a meeting of the Aeronautical Society, says the London correspondent of the Herald.
 The machine, he explained, Is a com bination of gas vessel and screw pro- peller principles, the balloon being flsh-shaped and divided into four con- partments. The driving mechanism consists of six screw propellers coupled to motors.
 Sir Hiram, who presided, thought the model contained more mechanism than 1t could carry. Sir Hiram also took occasion to deny that he had offered prize of $100,U00 to be competed for at the St. Louis Exposition airship contests. He is prepared, however to offer large sum of money for a prize if really practicable and tried air. ship is produced.

Are You a Mason7

Of course, to cover the country with such great farcical success as Are You A Mason?" more than one company was necessary. However. here will be seen the identical one that scored such a hit in New York and Chicago, including the adapter of the farce, MT. Lee Ditrich- etein There is certainly remarkable quartet Of comedians with Are You A Mason?" which includes Leo Ditrichstein John c. Rice, Thomas A. Wise and George Richards. Each of the four has in name or in fact been a star in his own line of humor for many seasons.

IN THE AIR.
The Germs of La Grippe Are Conveyed
 Through the Atmosphere.

No one can escape the La Grippe germ because when an epidemic of the dis ease is prevailing the air is laden with it.
 The reason that everyone does not have the disease at the same time is because the persons who are enjoying perfect health are able to successfully resist and throw off the infection, while those, who for any reason are not in the best of health, fall ready victims.

Towels Did Not Burn.

pr. Gardner was recalled. He said the experiments with the towels soaked in chloroform had been finished. The first towel blaZed for nine minutes, shoulder ed for 51 minutes and then went out. The second one burned slowly for 15 minutes and smouldered 54 minutes. One-third of the material was consumed by the blaze in the first test and one-fourth in the second one. The sponges used resisted the action of the fire better than the cotton material of the towel
 Assistant District Attorney Osborne produced a false beard and moustache mounted on wires and asked an opportu- nifty to pour an ounce of chloroform on 1t and hang it by an open window to prove that the odor of the drug would not remain on the beard for an hour as Curry, Rice's physician, said 1t would. The recorder would not agree to this and court was adjourned until tomor- row.

 the Courts Benefit.
JONES' STATEMENT UNTRUE

New York March 12.-Dr. John H. Gardner was on the witness stand again today in the trial of Albert T. Patrick indicted on the charge that he murdered ". M. Rice Assistant District Attorney Osborne handed the witness bottle of chloroform, a towel and a sponge and asked him to saturate the towel and sponge with chloroform, let them stand a half an hour and then put a match to them Charles F. Jones testified that he burned the chloroform saturated towel with which he said he killed Rice after it had been on Rice's face for half an hour. The defense objected and asked that two physicians, one for the prose- cution and one for the defense, make the experiment with materials purchased by themselves This was agreed to.
 Agreed to Experiment.
 The director agreed that the experiment be made at the noon recess. pr. Gard ner was excused and the defense called Dr. Isaac Newton Love, professor of phy- sical diagnosis and internal medicine at the Post Graduate Hospital Medical Col pApAS51CA St. Louis Medical College and vice-presi- den of the American Medical Association. Dr. Love said that in his opinion inhal- alton of choroform vapor would not cause any congestion of the lungs.
 In reply to question reciting the evil dence in the case and asking his opin- ion as to the cause of Rice's death Dr. Love replied: "Old age, oedema and congestion of the lungs. crippled kidneys, a narrowing of the heart orifices and disease of the entire equipment of the man."
 Could the symptoms as described and revealed by the autopsy, have resulted from the inhalation of chloroform va pors?' asked MT. Moore or Patrick's counsel.
 They could not" replied Dr. Love.
 At the afternoon session Dr. Love on cross-examination said he had no doubt Rice was suffering from lung trouble when Dr. Curry made an examination ten hours before the death, but Dr. Curry overlooked it.
