son to supply tandem pace at the start and
relieve when necessary with singles, the
new single pacing machines being equiva-
lent to the tandem for pace-following. The

CHAMPIONS COMING

WHEELMEN.
Riders Getting in Shape on Southern
Tracks Will Come Here
May /.

AS the time nears for the cycle racing
to begin the local amateur interest wakes
warmer and warmer and the bright pros
poets for great racing at the Coliseum this
summer are the continual topics of con-
versation in bicycle and amusement cir
cles.
Manager Osgood has popularized the
Coliseum at the start by announcing i'm
provements in the way of public accommo-
dations and of amateur convenience that
are much desired. The bleacher seats will
meet the wishes of many who did not care
to stand last year. but could not afford the
reserve chairs. Then. too, they will make
it possible for gentlemen to take their
| wives and families and enjoy moderate
comfort without too great Il tax on the
family purse.
Champion and Hall have not been able
to do much track work this week. as the
wind and cold have made it too hazardous
for motor following or wheel riding. They
have spent the time in indoor work in
their training quarters at the Coliseum and
in getting their motor cycles in fighting
trim. They anticipate big gathering of
interested onlookers at the Coliseum, and
they purpose to crafty public interest in
no small way.
Champion is very accommoda ting
young fellow and he has grown inordinate-
ly fond of Washington, so like his Belle
Paree." He has worked himself into
splendid form and will become one of the
stars of the season. Hall is gamely plug
ging away at his overweight and is doing
seven-league boot stunts every day, drench-
ing his training clothes with the sweat of
his brow" c. Ross klosterman, the Dis
trict chairman and Coliseum referee, is
coming from Baltimore tomorrow for con-
Sultation with Manager OSgOod concerning
some preliminary meets. 1t is hardly like
ly that these can be arranged now on ac-
count of the extensive reconstruction work
soon to begin at the Coliseum and for the
further reason that Champion and Hall are
expecting to go to Boston on the 18th to
enter the Charles river track races.

1t would be difficult to find more dsap-

mittees of the board of trade and trans
portation and the produce exchange, who
have been knocking without results at the
doors of the state Legislature all winter
for an adequate appropriation for the i'm

canals 1t is learned that those who ia
vored the referendum to the people for an
outlay of $31 100000 for canal improve
ments will hold meeting soon and decide
upon some plan of action. They will, 1t Is
understood, issue an address to the people
explaining the reasons for the appropria-
ton and the abortive efforts made to Sc
cure it. 1t is also proposed to raise fund
to be used in an aggressive campaign
against those legislators who, say the canal
men, declared in favor of the improvements
and then displayed an Indifference toward
the bill which did so much to accomplish its
defeat They openly declare war upon

sailed for a prolonged visit to the far east
He goes out as special commissioner for
the University of Chicago and will remain
three years. The object of the University
of Chicago in sending Mr.. Ireland to the

ering of the cycle clan and the Coliseum
was the sole topic of discussion. Mr.. Os-
good was introduced most happily by Mr..

enterprise, depending upon the novelty anG

it needs all the friends it make, and

track records. He invited all aspiring rid
to train at the track and promised to
further amateur interests in every way. He
said he was glad to learn that so many
former riders intend to re-enter the field
this season, and he hoped that the vete-
rams would give the younger element 4
hard battle for the honors. He promised
to regulate most satisfactorily the matter
of prizes, entrance fees and other subjects
that too often occasion friction. Several
members of the club made brief remarks
that were complimentary to the COliSaum'S

New Evil on the East Side.


The attention of east side reform work
ers has been directed toward a new evil.
The Yddish music hall is the latest limo
yction in the life of the Bowery and the
Eeighboring streets, and most of these
places are described as dens of the most
Objectionable type. A gentleman who has
made a study of these halls says the songs
heard in them surpass in obscenity and in
decency anything ever heard in the lowest
resort In the city. The singers or actors. as
they style themselves, vie with each other
i'll inventing leWd jokes and rhymes of the
most abominably suggestive sort When
singer has no filthy verses to offer he loses
his job. There are men and women among
them, and the atmosphere of the halls is
anything but conducive to purity. Some OF
the women, who once reigned on Allen
street, but have been dslodged from the
former stronghold since the advent of the
present city admins ton, frequent these
halls and use them as gathering places.
AS to the former light houses" which have
been left without any definite means of
livelihood, some of the former inmates find
employment in the newly opened music halls
walters and dOorkeeperS They are tough
places. these halls, and the services of men
like these fellows come handy. The most OBJ
jectionable feature Of these halls Is the
fact that most Of them are located in the
very heart of the tenement district, usu-
ally in the middle of block occupied by
respectable workingmen. They are all the
rage" these days, and the vile songs which
one hears in them are being sung and sung
again by little boys and girls the side
walks. The respectable element on the
east side is up in arms against the Yiddish
music halls, some action being under way
to have the license Of the most objection
able of them revoked. The matter will be
taken up by the orthodox pulpit.

Story About Mayor Low.

A good story about Seth Low, the present
mayor, has just come out and is going the
rounds. 1t appears that years ago when
Low was a boy he was voted by his play
mates rather queer" His father was
great East Indian merchant. with wharves
and ships which attracted the attention of
his little playmates 1t would not be fair
to say that wealth threw glow and glitter
and glamour around Seth Low. For small
boys are not swayed by that sort of
thing as are their elders. But the wharves
of the senior Low afforded a playground
pleasing for any small boy to contemplate.
The little Low boy had the entree. Con-
sequently he was popular. One day Seth
Low invited his little associates to a birth
day party. The boys thus honored, dressed
in their Sunday best, hurried to the grand
Low mansion. They naturally expected
good time and plenty of good things to eat.
The little Low boy received them all in
state. He led the way to the banquet hall.
When his young guests were seated they
were inVited-nOt to participate in ViandS
rare-in dainties from Cathay-but to
banquet of bread and Inolasses. That was
absolutely everything Seth Low gave his
young friends to eat. The eXplana ton
finally came out-and the truth in no way
reflects upon the generosity of the elder
Low. Young Low was inordinately fond
of bread and moasses. And despite the
protests of his father and others he insist
ed upon forcing upon the stomachs of his
young guests a plethora of the food which
he loved so we'll One of Lows young

OFFICIAL SALARIES.

There is 2 class of men in e7ery community, says the Commercial Appeal, who are constantly com. blaming that public officials re. ceiye salarles that are too great. and declaring that the service could be performed equally as well for less money. Offices to which fees are attached are always sup. posed to be more remuuerative than they really are, because the report of the receipts is always exaggerated.
 In order to secure an efficient public service salaries should be liberal, because their expenses are always greater than those of pri. yate individuals. The enormous bonds which some of our officials gre required to make cost them large sums of money. Their elec- ton expenses amount to [ nice figure, ,snd during their incumbency in office they are plueked at first by one and then another almost every day.
 The pubic interest demands that NC have the best material in our public offices, aud particularly on the bench, where the rights Of the people are adjudged and passed on, but there are those who seem inclined to let out the Judgeship like the county lets out contract for building bridge, to the lowest bidder who will accept it.
 This will not do. Salaries for our judges and other officials ought to be liberal, because in this way, and this way alone, can we secure efficiency in the public service.
