Thcro arc other cities an well * Omaha |
which have given duo consideration to the
Mcy-cln lamp question and roiehcd ft similar
conclusion. The Now York Hoard of Alder-
iticn lias suspended the ordinance requiring
All vehicles , IncludliiB bicycles , to carry
lights "at nlRht. Philadelphia solons con-
eluded that requiring nil vehicles to carry
lights at wight would not promote public
safety , hence they declined , for obvious rea
sons , to single out the bicycle and compel
riders to light up. The necessity for mak
ing the law uniform perplexing to city
ofllclals , and they are not anxious to provoke
the anger of vehicle owners.
The National Uoard of Trade of Cycle Man
ufacturers has decided not to sanction bl-
cycle shows next season. Kirk Drown , di
rector of tlio hoard , eays the demand for
shows Is confined to professional showmen.
"Thcro arc many good reasons fo" ibandon-
log the shows , not the least being the greater
Economy rmforeed upon every maker by the
enormous shrinkage In the value of his prod- >
ct-ln"tho last two years ; with an annual
saving of $1,000,000 , which It has been com
puted the last two national shows cost the
cycle makers of this country , they will bo
nblo to obtain much more publicity by more
legitimate means. " '
A topic of general Interest seems to bo the
probable prlco of next year's wheels. What
ever ( llflposlttcu may bo made of thu chatn-
Icss problem , It must be remembered that ,
even If It should prove at the st.irt satisfac
tory In every particular , there would still bo
many doublets , and that , under any circum
stances , It would not bu possible to supply
thq dcmand _ , . jf It should meet with universal
approval ! ft Is not to bo supposed , says the
Washington Star , that experienced business
men nrc going to pitch Into a thing headlong
anil mako-up zn enormous stock without first
finding oiU how the new Idea la received.
Tlio cusl'o'f preparation Is of Itself a tre
mendous risk , which betokens an Immense
amount of confidence. The chalnlosn wheel ,
like everything cite , Is likely to bo high
Jet price the first season , for the cost of pro
duction Will bo largo , and 11 will not be a
dltllcult matter to obtain nn advanced prlco
It It pro-'fes to bo desirable. Therefore , no
matter what the outcome may bo , the chain-
driven wheel will be the popular mount dur
ing l&OS.-and the price of n now mount teems
to IntcroH all , even those who have not the
slightest Idea of purchasing mow or then.
Some makers have already announced that
the standard price will bo $100. but very
few have done so , and oven tho.se have pro
vided n cheaper wheel as well. The ma
jority seem Inclined to wait a little while
longer before making their plans Known.
Good Judges give It as Ihelr opinion that
the medium-price machines had the call this
year , < nd that they were sold In much larger
quantltUs than either the sti Icily high-grade
or the "bargain-store" mounts , and that they
will have even n stronger hold on the public
purse next year. Whpt the standard price
wlH be for such wheels as were this season
listed at $100 cannot bo , foretold , but ono of
the best known men In the trade rectntl >
vouchsafed the remark that any one pinning
faith to $75 would not bo far from wrong.

The tloston Transcript , as she sat In her
chair at 11 p. in. , sowing on her husband's
clothing , "It Is well enough for me ; mini

husband ftt this moment working likea
navvy on his wheel and perspiring like a
stoker in the hold of an Atlantic lliicr. "
The Parisians have tal < on to the whce
as no other people In the world. They utilize
It for all sorts of purposes , and everybodj

for advertising purposes , and ono frequentlj

Her hat band also has the lettering. The
French women loan over their handl
bars nnd the lettering seems all the more
conspicuous for this reason. Imagine a
young woman riding along Fifth avenue
with a whlto Jacket reading In glaring let
tnrs : "Good morning. 'Have you used I'ear'
boap ? " Paris also has cyclist lamp-lighter
who go their rounds carrying poles on the !
right shoulders nnd holding the handle bar
oC the wheel with the left hand. On arriv
ing at a lamp the lighter slackens his pace
nnd , placing one foot to steady his wheel
lights the lamp In an Instant and thei
whirls away.

Condition llurliiK I lie "Winter.
Every wheelman nnd whcolwoman will
soon bo confronted with the unpleasant ne
cessity of laying aside their health-giving
steeds and , lapsing back Into that sluggish
condition which coinra to those who do not
exercise.
The problem , therefore , which confronts
the urmywto whom these conditions must
only too soon become -familiar Is ' 'How to
keep In condition during the cold weather ? "
Too often docs the cyclist , when ho puts hla
wheel away for the winter , overlook the Im
portant fact- that although he Is able to lay
nsldo his wheel until weather fit for riding
It comes again , the same principles nro not
apllcablotp the human machine. Wo need
Just as much If not more care during the
winter .months as In the days when nil out-
of-doors Is glorious and wo are beneath roofs
only when necessity compels.
In ono way It Is Just as if a person .who
had regularly each day partaken of nourishIng -
Ing fopdtB'inuld stop the supply nnd expect
that no ovlt results would follow. What
must bo. dona Is for thu cyclist to II ml n sub
stitute for thd exercise which has freshened
his blood and given him a ruddy cheek and
healthful body. This pioblem Is ono which
has oxclted the keenest Intercut among cy
clists generally , and Prof , M. J. Mac-Levy ,
a New York Instructor In physical culture ,
has ilomotiHtrnted that tha accompanying
uggestlans will bring about desired results
In a remarkably short tpace of time ,
It Is a well known Net that during the
pant season so many cyclists have built their
systems up by the use of the wheel so that
to stop cycling nil at once would be almost
Injurious , It would bo like a morphine ( lend
suddenly deprived of his drug. The reaction
would bo uioro than ho can stand. Dy fol
lowing a. few simple rules there Is no reason
why any rider should not be kept In condi
tion.
tion.Tho
The most necessary of all things Is to keep
the lungs In the condition to which wheeling
has brought them. Physicians state that thu
lungs of cyclists have many more cells In ac
tive operation than those who follow purely
A sedentary life. To this cud It 'Is very im
portant that the chest development bo main
tained , What Is known as stationary run
ning It admirable to bring about desirable re-
Bulls. Let the cyclist raise the windows of
his sleeping apartment , top and bottom ,
about half a foot each , thus affording the
free circulation of air. It la best that no
tight clothing bo worn during this exercise
Which should fce taken before breakfast.
"lac
'hrow * the chest out , head up , nnd , whllo
( muling on the same spot , lot the limbs
move as If running , only , of course , make
10 progress. The effect of this exercise will
> o Immediately noticeable by. the Improved
csplratlon. Although every muscle used
hen cycling Is not brought into ploy In this
xorclsc , most of them are. Care should be
akcn not to overdo thin exercise the first
Imc , an ovcr-oxcrtlon Is Injurious * * . Each
ay the exercise can be Increased until ono
: an , to nil Intents nnd purposes , scorch
wcnty miles without moving nn Inch.
In order to develop the calf muscles and
lioso of the thigh which ate not brought
nto play by stationary running , ono should

trapped to the shoe. Plaro the foot horl-
ontnl With the thigh nnd keep this move-
nctit up for flvo minutes. The muscles will
> o found to bo much benefited by this cxer-
: lsc. Tlio durntion of the exercise cnn best
bu Judged by the cyclist from the fatigue It
actuates.
Now stand upright and , throwing the sboul-
ers back nbdomcn well In , rnlsc on the toes.
t Is well to count the number of elevations
nnd Increase the same gradually till nbaut
fifty or sixty can bo done. Next the cyclist
hould take care that his Joints do not suffer
itlffness by assuming what Is known ns the
lop-locd position and by hopping on both
eot at once. The Joints will bo materially
> enefHed.
The Ideas set forth , do not , by any means ,
cover all points In this field of winter cxer-
clso , but they nrc such as may bo carried out
n the home. Wo nil know of a dozen patent
contrivances which claim to give life , health
ind ulmost everything under the sun , but

10 ono has yet been found who could give

Day.
In the household of William M. Puller ,
clerk of the New York court ot special ses
sions , Is a fine specimen ! of the flying squirrel ,
which amuses Itself , when not engaged ! n
wandering about the house , with Its owner's
Jlcycle. Mr. Fuller believes It to be the only
bicycling squirrel In the country , relates the
New York Sun , and Is very proud of It. Its
record by the cyclometer Is ten miles a day.
Chuck , ns It Is named , Is very tame , and a
favorite trick of his Is to climb to the top
of a tall bookcase , and at a whistle , sail down
to his master's shoulder. It had been Mr.
fuller's Intention to have a squirrel wheel
made for Chuck. While the matter was still
In abeyance , ho was fixing his bicycle one
day with Chuck as an Interested spectator
when It occurred to him that the wheel of
the machine would furnish n fine opportunity
for the squirrel to exercise If It could only
be taught. Ho propped the bicycle up so
that the front wheel was oft the ground and
set Chuck ou the tire.
Never did a duck take to the water with
more avidity than Chuck to the Joys of the
wheel. No Instruction was necessary. The
squirrel racesi along turning the wheel un
der Its flying feet until It got tired. Then
It looked about for a way to get off , but
found none. It could not get enough pur
chase to spring up over the handle bars , and
was finally compelled to flop ignomlnlously
uproi the floor. The next day Mr. Fuller gave
Chuck another spin , nnd the exercise
seemed to agree with the little animal so
well that It became an evening performance.
One evening when Chuck had been wheeling
and had , as usual , tumbled down , Mr. Fuller
left the squirrel to Its own devices and sat
down to read. To his surprise he saw Chuck
approach the wheel , leap upon the tire from
the floor , scranrWe along to the top and spin
until tired nature gave out. Thereafter Mr.
Fuller never had to put Chuck on the wheel ;
the squirrel mounted without aid. The cy
clometer was set , and the biggest day's run
vet registered Is a trifle more than ten miles.
Dut the squirrel has not yet mastered the
art of dismounting without falling all over
Itcelf. If Mr. Fuller Is there It chatters to
him to come and take It oft , and If he doesn't
como there follows the Ipiomlnlous tumble
'o the floor. Lately Chuck has taken to slt-
Mng on the floor In front of the wheel studyIng -
Ing It with deep thought. Obviously the
ioulrrol Is studying out some way of getting
off In n graceful and effective manner. Mr.
Fuller Is ready to bet that sooner or later
his pet will solve the problem.

Probably the moat daring feat ever ac-
con'iillshed by a feminine cyclist , or a male ,
for that matter , was performed by Ml SB Motle
Uoffmnn a few days ago when she pedaled
over and back across the famous railroad
bridge which i-pans the Kentucky river be
tween Jessamine and Mercer counties , Ken
tucky. The bridge , onaccount of Its being
the highest structure of Its kind in the world ,
Is known as High Drldge. The structure
nnd the surrounding scenery arc among the
greatest marvels of the south. Trains rxus
over It hourly , day and night. There Is a
railroad station and a llttlo village at the
north end of the bridge. It Is a tjolcal
railroad bridge , there being no railing ? on
the sides , and the only llooiIs that formed
by the regulation railroad cross-ties , which
are six Indies apart.
Doing a single track bridge It Is only fifteen
feet wide. Thus , had Miss Colfman lost
control of her wheel or had she not guided
It In a direct line she would , In all prob
ability , have been thrown off and have fallen
300 foot for that Is the height of the bridge
from the water. But thli was not the only
danger , for n train was liable to come along
at any moment , and while It Is true that
there 1'j barely room for a man to stand
and let a train pass there are very , very
few who da'e take such a risk. The narrow
railroad bridge Is 300 feet high and 1,101 feet
long , and on account of Its dizzy height
bu ( few people dare 'walk out on It a dozen
steps.
steps.Why
Why Miss Coffman ventured on such a
perilous ride she herself cannot fully ox
plain. She says H Just occurred to her to
ride across and she never took Into considera
tion that there would bo any danger.
She blG years of ago , the youngeU daugh-
loof Mrs. Rallle Coffman , and resides In
A cozy homo In Nlcholasvllle , She Is ex
ceedingly modest and childlike In her ways.
Miss Motlo Is really the orattlest girl In
that town , and It Is doubtful If a prettier
girl could be found In Kentucky , and cer
tainly not one who has performed a rnoro
daring and risky feat.

Just now the proposed blcyclo lamp ordi
nance , which has been presented to the city
council for passage , seems to be the princi
pal topic of conversation among the local
wheelmen. Many of them are very muclv
averse to It and are fighting It hard , while
others favor Its pnc'sage and think It only a
proper regulation , which will protect them
selves as well as others. Since the ordinance
has been talked of hundreds of riders have
purchased lamps voluntarily and attached
them to their machines , nnd In nearly every
case pronounce them satisfactory. No com
plaints have been heard of their being a
hindrance , dazzling the rider's eyes , etc.
Many of tha wheelmen who have been fight
ing the ordinance on the grounds that lamps
were a hindrance , etc. , have never used one ,
and , therefore , do no't know whether It Is a
hindrance or not. It Is , qultu true that Den
ver and ono or two other cities which have
tried the lamp ordinance have repealed It
but If the truth was known It has been for
political reasons only. However , the num
ber ot cities that have tried the ordinance
and pronounced It a success are so far In
the majority that there Is not the least doub
of the ordinance's usefulness. A number o
communications addressed to the dlfTeren
chiefs of police of cities whore the ordinance
Is In force brought replies from over 100 o
them , and to show the general satlsfactlot
the ordinance Is giving all over the coun
try whcro It Is In use wo publish below ex
tracts from a few of the letters :
W. II. Smith , "Chief of Police , Asbury
Patk , N. J. Our blcyclo ordinance which
rquires wheelmen to carry lamps seems to
bo satisfactory to them , and I think a prope
regulation.
P. C. Prizer. Chief of Police , Collegevillo
Pa. Wo have a bicycle lamp ordinance In ou
city , and think It a protection to both bl
cyclist and pedestrian. A number of people
have been Injuned or killed In our city b )
being run Into by bicycles before" we had the
lamp ordinance , but since then I cannot recal
one single accident that has been brough
to my attention.
Thomas P. Farnan , Acting Marshal , Baltl
more , Md. I consider the law requiring
blcyclo riders to carry lamps after dark ai
Invaluable one. It affords protection to botl
the rider and pedestrian , and since the law
has been la operation In our city accident
directly traceable to bicycles have materially
lessened.
Patrick Kelly. Superintendent Police , Co
lumbus , O. I believe a bicycle lamp ordl
nance a good , reasonable regulation. When
the ordinance was first Introduced here I
was met with strong opposition on the par
of many of our wheelmen , but after It bat
been Ir vogue some little time the wheel
men themselves saw the boncllt of It am
ths various bicycle clubs of the city assls
us v * ry much In enforcing the regulation
and I believe as a matter of safety to th
public every city should have such an
ordinance.
Joseph Klpley , Chief Police , Chicago , 111.
In my opinion the vehicle lamp ordinance
Is reasonable and proper e.e being conducive
to greater safety to all using city roads am
driveways at night. The regulation In opera
tlon In this city extends to all classes o
vehicles , which provision I think a wise um
Just ono and should be equally enforced upon
all alike. The regulation as to bicycles ha
been quite generally observed by wheelmei
of this city , the rulco of the park boards
requiring such lights on wheels In use li
parka and upon boulevards.
Philip Deitsch , Superintendent Police , Gin
clnnatl , O. We have a bicycle lamp ordl
nance In existence In our city and J thlnl
It works well.
N. A. Murphy , Chief Police , Bay City
Mich. At first wo had some trouble to inak
people comply with our lamp ordinance am
had to make a number ot arrests. Our pollc
Judge lined offenders fl for the first time am
the second time $5 , and our trouble soon
ended. People now seem to think It Is al
right and are satisfied with the ordinance
I think It a good thing , and If parsed In you
city It will soon give satisfaction and you
people will say the same.
Henry C. Hakcr , Chief of Police , Madison
WIs. There Is some difference of opinion
hero In regard to our blcyclo lamp ordinance
but the majority of the riders here , fovo
It , as our streets at night are qultu shady h
placrn with trees , and the.foliage Is so thlc
that the arch lights do not throw light
great ways and the lights upon wheels hav
prevented a great many accidents , The or
dlnance was drafted and pushed through th
council hero by our local bicycle clubs. Till
Is a college city and we have about 1,80
students hero about nine months out of th
twelve. Most of them own bicycles , am
they all live up to the ordinance and seem t
think It a good ono for their own protection
I have spoken to some of our leading blcy
cllals and they all nay that the lamp ordl
nanco Is a good thing. Wo haven't had a
accident this summer by collision of bicycle
after dark ,
Walter C , Jones , Chief of Police , Calves
ton , Tex. The L'lcyclo lamp ordinance ha
been In effect In this city about two irionth
and has given general satisfaction. Ever
Incorporated city In the country should hav
a law similar to this ,
Chrlsman & Brenuan , Attorneys for Clt
of Ilrookhaven , Mass , Hecause of collision
had on our streets by wheelmen at night th
flty council passed an ordinance rcqulrln
wheelmen to rarry lighted lamps on th
front of their' bicycles after dark , W
consider the regulation absolutely Indls
peusablo for the safety of pedestrians an
vehicles ; we therefore consider It reason
able and proper. Wo have hid no accl
dents of this character since the pacsag
of the ordinance ,
J , P. Qulgley. Acting Superintendent o
Police , Indianapolis , Ind , Wo find the blcy
clo lamp ordinance to be a benefit both t
the rider and pedestrians , and I heartily en
dorse it ,
II. J. Linden , Superintendent Police , Phil

of wheelmen In cur city I consider a lam
ordinance absolutely necessary for th

N. B. Klrkpatrlck , Chief of Police , Lan

point of view of the pedestrian and bicy
clist both , Thu number of accidents re
sulting from collisions'of all kinds have
bcon remarkably small since our ordinance
went Into effect. Were It not for this or-
dlnanco I am convinced that the number of
collulons and resultant Injuries wuold have
been multiplied to a considerable degree ,
M. iN , Qoss , Chief Police , St. Paul , Minn.
In my opinion an tordlnanco requiring all
bicycle rldera to carry lighted lamps upon
their wheels after dark In cities of over
2GOO population Is necessary In order to avoid
accldenta. The necessity of such an ordi
nance becomm more apparent each year , for
the reason that the number of riders are
rapidly Jncrraelng. Whllo the building of
cycle paths concentrates them all on a few-
routes the bicycle riders hero favor the lamp
ordinance ,
William ninan. Chief Police Niagara Falls ,
N. Y , I consider the bicycle lamp ordi
nance reasonable and proper. Wo have euch
an ordinance In this city and enforce the
same with very llttlo trouble ,
John Powers , City Marshal , Elgin , III.
Wo have n bicycle lamp ordinance In 'force
In this city and hear no complaints from
the wheelmen of tin being a hardship and
they are Its main promoters and defenders.
The six-day bicycle race which has been

The finish , which will occur tomorrow evening
promises to bo a hot one na
Is anxious to repay McCall , Saser , Proulx
and Plxloy for some of the defeats they gave
him on the state circuit , while the others are
Just as anxious to keep him from doing It
All of the men are riding In fine form am
a good finish may bo looked for.

An effort has been made by his friends to
Induce W. H. McCord to accept the nomina
tion for chief consul of the Nebraska divi
sion , Mr. McCord absolutely refuses to be
a candidate , ns ho says he cannot spare the

who was at ono time president of the Tour
ist Wheelmen , has also been mentioned OH a
candidate. All nominations must bo In by

Chief Consul I ) . J , 0'Hrlen made a flying
business trip to Chicago last week. Ho says
that none of the so-called coming chainlets
wjhccls have reached Chicago yet , and , upan
Inquiry , ho learned 'that ' moiit of the inakcru
there would rely upon the good old chain
for another year at least. The majority of
them cjalm tuat the.cialnlcss | wheel Is not
practicable , ate. , and base tholr claim upon
tbo facts that where novel gears have been
used upon .thrashing . machines they are now-
using chains and sprockets , which would
Indicate that the latter has proven the most
satisfactory.
The big run which was called for Friday
evening last by the Associated Cycling Clubs

as marshals , whllo bicycle mounted oillcers ,
Baldwin and Barnes , acted as guides. The
rua was ina-jo to Florence via Sherman
avenue and over the new Florence- cycle
path. Upon arriving at Florence the wheel
men found a lunch awaiting them which they
stowed away in short order. Everyone who
attended scorned to oajoy iheiosclvci , and
