BIcYcLER KRAMER's THRONE.
New Riders are Pushing Him Hard for
 Honors.

E
 Frank Kramer may consider himself a lucky man should he succeed in carry ing off the bicycle sprinting champion ship again this season. He has won the championship for the past two years and before the present season was we'll advanced many people be- lieved him to be invincible in sprint ing race run under fair conditions.
 But things have gone against nm during the past two weeks and ne al ready appears to be a bit behind some of the others in the running although he has not yet lost championship race. Kramer was beaten by Lawson III q special match race at Newark on the Fourth of July and the very next day suffered defeat at the hands or farhet limbs of that plucky manipulator of the wheel, Fenn. &.
 These two disasters have opened the eyes of the close followers of the sport to the fact that the champion can no longer be considered in class Dy nln1- self. E
 It must not be thought, however, that Kramer has gone back in his r1dlng. He has the same endurance, pluck, cuteness and wonderful sprint on the finish of a race that have characterized his riding during the past few years.
 The explanation is that his op- ponents have improved to such an ex- tent that they are now quite as good as the champion.
 Lawson planned months ago to take the measure of the champion this year He went to California with the lanky' Mcfarland at the end of last season and after a good, long rest started course of hard training. When he came east in the spring he was it to ride for a Kingdom so there can be lit tie wonder at his fine showing against Kramer.
 Fenn also went through long and careful preparation and must be con- sidered a strong factor in the race for the championship this year. Several other riders are hot foot on the trail of Kramer and have sworn to take his scalp. These are Schrieber Jacobson and Root.
 All three are riding fast and will give the champion trouble in plenty throughout the championship circuit All in a1l,, the battle among the sprint CTS this season promises to be one of unusual brilliancy. Kramer had intend ed to go abroad, but owing to his de- feat by Lawson and Fem he has changed his mind and will remain in America.

FAST TRACK EXPECTED.

Sun and Wind Bring About Good Con-
 ditions for Waterboy- McChesney Go.
 New York, July 20.-The track at Brighton will be fast to-day, from all indications. At o'clock last night tie track, which had been sea of mud less than twenty-four hours before, had been narrowed into fair condition. If Superintendent Clare and his men did wonders with the track, nature did more, for the bright sun of yesterday afternoon caused the track to dry out rapidly. A stiff northwest wind pre- vailed all Saturday night, and this helped to undo the work of the fierce storm of the afternoon. Those who waded through mud ankle deep from the track Saturday must have been astonished at the changed condition of the going in the vicinity of the track yesterday afternoon. The puddles had dried up and the little stars were twinkling last night. At the Gravesend track almost the same condition of af- fairs prevailed. It seems likely that both McChesney and Waterboy may have their final workout for the big race of Wednesday over a fast track this morning.

LARGEST EVER BLOWN.
Bottles That Will Hold Forty-Five
 Gallons.

The four largest bottles ever blown have just been completed at the plant of the Illinois Glass company, at Al ton. The bottles were not blown un- til after several attempts had been made, and in glass manufacturing cir cles the big bottles are considered nothing less than marvels.
 The bottles were blown by Valentine Reininger, assisted by Jesse SteeIman and John Metz. The big bottles are known as the Hook vein or Rhine wine type. The largest will hold approx. imateIy forty-five gallons and the sec ond largest forty gallons. The largest bottles heretofore obtained have had a capacity of twenty gallons. The tallest Is six feet two inches.
 To make the largest bottle forty from the furnace on the end of the long iron tube used by the blower The blowing of the bottle required 11,OOO cubic inches of air, and this had to be supplied by one man, and that man was unable to take his lips from the end of the tube during the process of blowing In order to prevent the bottle from collapsing. Reininger supplied the air and the two assistants helped him bear up the weight of the glass In order to secure bench of sufficient height to work the glass the officers of the glass company had to cut 8 hole through the side of one Of the fac tories and the blower stood in the sec ond story and worked the glass through this aperature.
 Reininger, the successful blower, is a Spaniard, and is known as an off hand or solf-mould blower. The Hi ,nois Glass company has three shops of this class of workmen, and Reininger is considered the best of his class. The blower at the Illinois Glass company's plant earn high wages, and Reininger's earning capacity is $75 a, week,-Chi. cago Inter-Ocean.

Insurtng Auto1nobiles,

The prejudice against automobiles, which had subsided somewhat, was given another inning by the recent stories of the road race accidents abroad, and the manager of one big English casualty insurance company has since refused to issue any more policies to owners of machines s'We found last month," he said, .'that 60 per cent of our accident claims were in some way connected with autos, and, although we were insuring own ers against damages to the extent of $5.000 on each machine. we had finally to give up such insurance altogether. The owner of one machine had three suits instituted against him in six weeks. We have to defend them and pay If the plaintiff wins. There Is one consolation for us, and that is that the courts are five years behind. A man injured now will have his case come up in 1908-if he is luclxy."-N. Y. Times.

IN TIE PHILIPPINES
General Wood Arrives at Ma nila and Goes to zamboanga~
FEW CURRENCY FOR TIE ISLANDS
Tnquiry I'm Howse Case Will He Held In Amerfca-Battalion of Scouts For St. Louis Fair Composed of
 NIany Tribes Is Assembling.

d s z
 MANILA, July 20.-G General Leonard with Governor Taft and General Davis on the Moro question and will leave shortly for Zamboanga to organize the government of the Moro province.
 The government will today commence the circulation of the new currency au- thorized by the United States congress at it's last session Considerable diffi- culty in adjusting 1t to the conditions here is anticipated. It is expected that the circulation of the new currency will be limited, because the Mexican coin l will continue to be legal tender until December. The merchants use Mexi- can coins because they are cheaper and their purchasing power is equal to the new coins.
 ! It is believed that the entire years crops will be paid and handled in Mex lean money. A shortage of Mexican coins is threatened, these coins to the value of $1OOoo,0o0 having been ex- ported to Singapore and Hongkong since January.
 The court of inquiry into the charges of cruelty brought against Major R. l.. Howze, headed by General Moore, has gone to Laoag to investigate the charges formulated through General Miles and Major Hunter. All the Amer ican witnesses in the case have gone to the United States, and an inquiry will be necessary there.
 The first herd of carabao which the government imported to restock the plantations has been attacked with hemorrhagic septacemia, and the nor tality Is heavy. The disease is appar- entIy .incurable. The herd has been iso- lated and the spread of the disease checked. The government hopes to sue cessfully complete its plan of restock- ing the plantations.
 The battalion of scouts which is go- ing to the St. Louis exposition is now assembling at Manila. It includes Ilo- canos, Macabebes Tagalogs and Visay- ans. Major Darlington has been cho- sen to command the battalion. The collection of the Philippine exhibit for the St. Louis exposition is making ex- cellent progress and promises to be thoroughly representative.

 At another contest held in England recently America was more fortunate. Her team captured the Palma trophy at the international rife match at Bisley, competing against the picked men of Great Britain, Canada, Natal, Norway, France and Australia The Americans aggregate. score out of possible 80, over the 800, 900 and 1,OOO-yard ranges was 1,570.

 The Palma trophy is emblematic of the long range rife shooting champion ship of the world. It was first offered in this country in 1875, when an Ameri- can team won it in competition against teams from Ireland, Scotland, Canada and Australia. The trophy remained in America till 1901, when the Canadian team won it, scoring 1,522 points, against 1,491 scored by the American defenders. Last year a selected team of Americans contested for the trophy on the Rock1iffe rife range, Ottawa, Canada.

why Nations Wear Coiors

Did it ever occur to you that the bunch of colored ribbons you wear in your buttonhole- -or pinned on your dress, if you are girl-at commence, ment, or at baseball or football game. is really flag? 1t tells to what cless or school or college you belong, or which of these, for the time, has your interest and sympathy. And for somewhat sim- liar reasons do nations wear their cole ors, says St. Nicholas. At first maybe it was to tell one another apart; but after while the coIors the flag -came to represent the nation itself; and the way the people acted toward the na- tion's flag was supposed to show the way they felt toward the nation.

STONING CHERRIES.
A Suggestion Which May He Accept able to saae Inexperienced
 Housewife.

A S1lVer TOrks with strong tines rather closely set, is the best instrument. though probably any other fork would do if the tines are not too sharp. Hold ing the cherry with the stem toward the palm of your hand, push two tines of the fork into the smooth end of the cherry. Tn this way the stone is caught on each side, which prevents slipping, and Is easily pushed out exactly at the stem point. If it should seem a little awkward at first, persevere for one min- ute. and you will never stone cherries in any other way. This method leaves the fruit so perfect in shape that when it is canned one could never tell that tn stones had been removed. I have tried 6 large darning needle with fork, but have found the fork most satisfactory, says writer in Housekeepsr
 Another suggestion which may be acceptable to the inexperienced house wife is: The best way to look over any sort of plant for salads or greens.
 When spinach, lettuce, cress or dan delions are purchased or brought from one's own garden, 1t ts very commonly the procedure of the housewife to plunge them at once into cold water. This causes every dried stem and spear of grass to cling tQ the green leaves, when, if they are looked over before they are washed, every particle will be quickly removed by little slap of the leaves against the palm of one's hand, or if any small particles of dried stems must be picked off it can be much more easily done while the leaves and the hands are dry.

Real Crimes Decreasing.

The number of crimes increases nec- essarily as civilization advances. be- cause new laws are made constituting new crimes. While the number of viola tions of law increases, the number of atrocious crimes diminishes. The fact Is that the increase in the criminal sta tistics is almost entirely in the newer and lighter offense.

"A new phase of the everlasting serve
