THE BICYCLE TRADE.
A Chicago Salesman Says Business
VIII Continue to BE Good.

'People have all sorts of fun with my
name" observed a smooth-faced, we'll
groomed young man at the Hotel English
last night. His name is William L. Baby,
and he comes from Chicago While his
name is spelled Baby it is not pronounced
that way. 1t should be called "Baubee,"
and the owner is just the least bit sensitive
about the pronunciation. Usually when he
goes into store the proprietor, If he
knows him, calls out, Hello, Baby" or
Baby" The owner of the name, however,
does not let these little jocularities discon-
cert him and he goes selling his wares
and making himself solid with his house.
Baby represents Chicago bicycle supply
house
THE bicycle business" he said last night,
"has settled down to a steady run. Don't
let anybody make you believe people
about to quit riding wheels. That's nom
dent of our company asking me to have our
trade let up on us a little until we can
get caught up Listen to what he says
here at the close: Our last months bust
ness in the cycle department was almost
double what IL was a year ago, and IL is
the largest we ever did Does that look
If the fad is dying out? The fact is peo-
pie are getting out their wheels from the
cellar and garnet and getting them in
of the sport this summer sure. OF course
people will not take TO it as violently as
they did-ride all of Saturday afternoon
and all day Sunday. They will get out
their wheels or buy new ones and make
them useful and continue to do So"

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
GENERAL AGENT HAZARD, OF KAN
sAS CITY q SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
Enthusiastic Over Possibilities of
Country Through Which Road
Passes-HOtel Visitors.

"Our road traverses a great territory that
is just being developed" said General
Agent Hazard, of the Kansas City &
Southern Railway Company, at the Hotel
English yesterday. The road runs from
Kansas City to Port Arthur. Tex, and is
known as the Port Arthur route" Mr..
Hazard tells Of a ship canal, seven miles
long, two hundred feet wide and twenty
eight feet deep, that connects Port Arthur
with the gulf. Oil companies have laid
pipe from Beaumont, Tex, to Port Arthur,
and oil is piped there and loaded onto the
tank ships and sent to any part of the
world.
There is a tract of pine timber down
there" said Mr.. Hazard, that until three
years ago had scarcely ever been touched
with an AK. it lies in Louisiana and Texas
and is about 300 miles wide and 100 miles
long. There are now perhaps 300 sawmils
at work cutting this timber. Rice is grown
extensively in Louisiana and eastern Texas
along our line. There seems to be a natural
irrigation that makes the ground fertile.
1t is found that rice can be grown there
equal in quality to any that is imported TO
this country. The soil down there is also
well adapted TO fruit growing. L know of
one man who has a thousand acres of
strawberries and they are fine"

case and found that Mr.. Bailey had only
been a local preacher in the Methodist
Church. and that was some thirty years
ago; that he had never been in the regular
Methodist ministry: that he has been hv-
ing in this city for about two years. and in
that time has at different periods been as
ISOLATED with Roberts Park Methodist
Church. the Salvation Army, the Pentecost
Church and the Christian Alliance, and
that from all of these he has received
financial assistance. The fact is, he said.
that the Methodist Church is no more re-
spOnsible for the case of this man than is
the public generally. And when the public
learns. is the case. that Mr.. Bailey has
relatives that are able and willing 10 care
for and support him, it will feel little like
expendings its sympathy or provision upon
him DIR. Rawls continued:
THE Methodist Church does not make as
adequate provision for its superannuated
preachers as it should, but il does keep its
worthy ministers out OF the county asy-
lums and from starvation.
Dr. Rawls makes these statements in
answer TO the many inquiries that have
come to him and TO other Methodist min
listers of the city about this case. since the

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.
He Names May Is as Holiday Be-
cause of Monument Dedication.


Governor Durbin issued a proclamation
yesterday naming May 10 as a holiday in
this State, owing TO the formal dedication
of the soldiers monument on that date.
In his proclamation he requests that the
transaction of business be suspended,
where possible, and that flags be displayed
upon all public and private buildings. The
proclamation is as follows:
Whereas, Thursday, May Is. 1902, having
been designated for the formal dedication
ment, Ii is therefore deemed proper that
the people of the State be afforded every
possible opportunity for participating in
the ceremonies connected herewith.
This imposing shaft, the center of
tistic establishment, is accepted as one of
the most majestic monuments in the world.
1t represents the free-will offerings of the
patriotic people of Indiana, combined in
substantial and enduring memorial in hon
or of soldiers, living and dead, who cheer
fully gave the full measure of loyalty in
consecrating their lives to the cause of
human liberty, to the preservation of the
integrity of the State and Nation and the
glory of the flag.
ION this occasion, for the last time per-
haps. the survivors of the war for the IN
ion will rally 20 the regimental colors
which inspired brave men to deeds of
valor on many hard-fought battlefields;
and albeit these silent yet eloquent en-
blems have been tattered in conflict and
dimmed by the ravages of time, in their
sacred folds is interviewer the triumphs
and sacrifices, the blood and tears of the
men and the mothers of men who dared
and died in righteous cause.
THE day of dedication will be observed
as a great patriotic festival in which the
surviving heroes of all wars have been
invited to participate. The exercises will
be in keeping with the lofty purposes en-
bodied in the memorial, and. it being de-
sired that all citizens of Indiana, so far
as practicable, join in doing honor 10 the
occasion;
Therefore, l respectfully suggest that
Thursday, May 15 1902. be made a holiday
in order that ample opportunity may be
afforded to our people to participate in
the dedicatory exercises, that the transac-
tion of public business be suspended. where
ever possible. that flags be displayed upon
all public and private buildings and that
such other measures may be suggested
be adopted TO the end that all may bear
witness Of their generation for those TO
whom the day Is consecrated."
