RIDES HIS WHEEL ON A RAIL.
I'r.ink of it Dnrmlntll Wheelman to
Attract Allrntliiii.
E. 0. Wilbur, of 1127 liroadway, Oak
land, Is looked upon as a curiosity by
tho bikers of Alameda countv. He
races with railroad trains, rides his
wheel on a railroad rail, ami does
other niieor things. Thursday Wilbur
raced tho narrow-gaugo train from the
pier to Oakland, riding his wheel on a
single rail behind the speeding train.
Wilbur for some months has been prac
ticing ildlng his wheel on a single rall
load rail. I II.- method Is to take a com
panion wheel and use It for balancing.
In this mnnner he can ride on a rail
road track for miles. One hand Is
iifcd to steer his own machine, and the
other rests on the companion wheel
which ho pulls along by his side. Af
ter many experiments on tho Seventh
street track Wilbur decided ho wns pro
ficient as a rail rider. The sport on
the ground was not exciting enough
for him, so ho determined to ride a rail
over the long narrow-gauge trestle. At
7 o'clock Wilbur started out from the
molo behind a train with his two
wheels, one on the track and tho other
Jumping over tho trestle ties. Ho
made good progress, but was unable to
luep within balling dlstanco of the
train. Hut his speed was high consid
ering the fact that the slightest slip
meant a fall Into the bay. The Web
ster street drawbridge was crossed In
i.aioty. and when the rider an I veil at
First stieet he dismounted with the
remark: "I defy any other wheelman
In California to make that ride." Not
satisfied with this feat, Wilbur left Tib
uion yesterday on a run to Santa Rosa,
using the railroad track. The run was
mado In good time, and now the wheel
man Is looking for some other mode
of astonishing whcrlnirn. Wilbur slm
ply takes these wild rides In order to
IUIKI7.0 people. He 1 1 Urn to bo called

said Wilbur today. "I like to bo called
a crank and pointed out as a fool for
taking chancer. This thing of riding
a wheel In a rail Is only a matter of
practice. Any man with a steady nervo
and a little courage can do It. Next
week I am going to mako u trip from
the Oakland molo to San Lcnndro on
my wheel, nnd will ride a rail all the
way." San Francisco Examiner.

Two men woro talking about luck
at tho corner of Baltimore and South
streets Inst night. Neither of thorn had
hail a recent visitation of Damo For
tune, and In consequence both wcro
lost In their denunciations of that
fickle lady.
"I haven't had a good thing for three
years," said one of them In a tone of
deep disgust. "I have tried my best to
overcome tho hoodoo, but somefcow I
can't do It. I've tried every sort of
mascot, but I can't get out of tho rut.
For two yean I have carried a rab
bit's foot, but It seems to have come
from a Jonah rabbit, and not of the
regular kind. Darn this luck, any
how." Tho other man sympathized deeply,
and told his own troubles In tho same
disgruntled style. He, too, hnd n mas
cot in a Chinese coin.
"They nio all a snare and a dolu
slon," he said, and his fnco looked moro
woe-be-gono than ever. "Darn this
luck anyhow."
"Mascots nro not what they nro
cracked up to be," assented tho other.
"I'm almost tempted to bellovo In
Jonahs as the harbingers of good for
tune. I'm going to get rid of this rab
bit s foot, nt any rate."
"I'm right with you," said tho other.
"Darn this luck, anyhow."
Tho rabbit's foot and tho coin np
poured from their pockets, and with a
more hopeful manner than they had
yet shown the two charms woro tossed
together In the middle of tho street
near tho tracks of tho City Passenger
railway. Then tho two "hoodooed" men
went down thu street arm in nrm.
"Darn this luck, anyhow," was the
last thing heard as they disappeared

from Two lllnrk Need.
From two big black seeds planted two
months ago In tho garden of Mr. E.
H. Du Val have sprung plants which
nro blossoming Into curious flowers
that puzzlo those familiar with horti
culture, says tho Baltimore Sun. Tho
flower will probably bo named "Du Val
Illy," nH It is n now one In Maryland.
Mr. Du Vol's garden Is In the rear of
his home, Whltmoro Heights, on 2d
street, Wnlbrook, across the way from
tho hnndsomo resldcnco of Mr. Julian
Lo Hoy White. It has become u curiosi
ty whop for Ilowors from the uso of
seeds and cuttings which nro sent to
Mr. Du Val by horticulturists all over
tho country In order that ho may try
them In Maryland soil. When tho two
black seeds arrived In May from a New-
York seed houso Mr. Du Vnl had them
planted In n choice place In tho garden.
In became Interested In tho two shoots
which soon sprang up from the seeds.
The tender stalks wero tightly curled In
a knob, like that on a growing lima
bean stalk, until the stems woro nearly
n foot high. Then the curl straightened
und n bushy plant developed, from
which soon rose a llowcr stalk. An
other thing which aroused Mr. Du Val's
curiosity about tho new plants was the
Information ho had received with the
seeds that they came from a cross of a
"Jinison" weed with tho common yel
low or white Illy, which abounds In
old-fiiHhloncd gnrdens nnd about old
country places. The ".Unison" weed,
or Jamestown weed, ns It Is more prop
erly known, receives its name from
Jamestown, Vn., whero It was first
Known In this country from Its growth
about refuse heaps. It Is of Asiatic
origin, Is n variety of stramonium nnd
has a disagreeable odor from tho leaves.
Its flower Is a deep purple In color.
From this strange admixture of plant
life Mr. Du Val has brought to the Sun
office the first bloom. Tho flower Is
nbotit eight Inches long nnd measures
six Inches ncross the bell-shaped
corolla, which In Indented like both the
parent flowers, the polnta ending In
tendiil-llke twists, ns do the "Jlmson"
weed flowers. The corolla Is purple
outside, while the insido Is of cream
color. Three lajers of fleshy petals
mako up the blossom, the petals being
Joined with what tailors would call a
"lap seam." A green calyx supports
the flower, which grows on n stout
stem. Tho deep purple color Is con
tinued In the stamens and pistil, which
form a group deep down In the Illy cup.
The loaves of the plant are like magni
fied oak leaves and when pressed emit
the true "Jlmson" weed odor. Mr. Du
Val will report on his s-tiango lily to
tho KoetlDiiion nnd will retain some of
the coeds for future experiments in his
garden.
I.l Hunt; I'lmiiK'N Mournful llouuet.
A funny little .story comes to us from
Kiisula In connection with tho fetes fot
the czar's coronation. A member ol
the American mission, an army olll
cer, was calling on LI Hung Chang.
It so happened that this member had
a very pretty and charming daughter,
whom LI Hung Chang so greatly ad
mired that he asked the father's per
mission to fcend some flowers to her,
which of course was granted. Imagine
the American ofticer's feelings, how
eer, when LI Hung Chang had carried
down to tho carriage an enormous
wrenth of white heliotrope, with an ap
propriate mourning Inscription. White
heliotrope was the only flower that n
Chlnnmnn could offer to a young girl,
the Chinese statesman explained.
Thcro was no place to disposo of the
flowers except on tho top of t c.ir
iluge, nnd as tho American was i his
way to Join n procession to spend the
ilny going nbout to ceremonies and
functions, there was nothing for him
to do but to carry tho wreath with him.

DEATH TO CRETANS.
FRIOHTFUL BARBARITIES TO
THE HUMBLE CHRISTIANS.
Tlio Dead Torn from Tlie.r llrnvri and
Their lionet Scattered to the Wind
Appalling Brunei of Carntce In
Crtn.
HE wholo world
has been horrified
by the frightful
Turkish war of ex
termination on tho
Armenlnns. Now
the samo crlmo Is
being repeated In'
another part of tho
Sultan's dominions
"""" in the Island of
Crete.
The Cretins, like the Armenians, nro
Christians, and It is for this reason
that they are being massacred. Their
slaughter Is accompanied by the snmc
circumstance. of horror ns was that of
tho Armenlnns. Old men, women and
children are outraged and murdered
nnd nameless cruelties arc committed.
The Sultnn is again demonstrating
Hint he Is a monster, capable of nny
crime. Ho hns permitted during the
space of two years every conceivable
outrago and cruelty to be perpetrated
under his authority and by his ouicers
In one part of the unhappy land which
ho rules. Now he allows the same
crlmo to be committed In another part.
As In tho other case, he Is doggedly re
sisting overy effort to obtain mercy for
tho victims of his brutal offlcers.
In personnl Intercourse with Euro
peans tho Sultan nppears to possess
many of the qualities of civilized hu
manity, but thoso superficial qualities
do not mako less hideous tho crimes
which ho hns permitted. He Is really
an Infinitely worse savage than King
mMiM
AFTER THE TURKISH
Behanzln of Dahomey, or King Prem
peh of Ashnntee, whom tho French nnd
EngllBh havo ruined for their nllegeil
misdeeds. The Sultan Is a criminal un
fit to live, let nlono to rule.
Will tho Cretans fare any better than
tho Armenians? That is still an unde
cided question. It Is not probable that
they will get any moro help from the
sympathizing civilized world thnn did
the Armenians, but on the other hand
It Is likely that they will mako a good
light for themselves. They havo strong
friends In tho Greeks, to whose race
they belong, und Greeco mny even de
clare war on Turkey to save the Cret
ans from extermination.
The Cretans are now In open rebel
lion, nnd nro holding their own In cer
tain parts of the Island. The Turks, on
the other hand.havo slaughtered Chris
tians In tho cltSas nnd destroyed mnny
of tho unprotected villages of tho coast
which were easily accesslblo to the sol
dlors. Some photographs sent to England by
tho Rev. William Dourchler, chaplain
of tho British war ship The Hood, give
a vivid and grewsomo Idea of Turkish
methods In Crete. Tho Hood witnessed
a series of outrages committed by
Turkish war ships, but under Instruc
tions from the government was power
less to Interfere.
Ono of Mr. Bourchler's photogrnpha
Bhows the desecrated Christian grave
yard at Galata. It seems that tho Mos
lem should be xatlsflotl with his slm
plo and sincere belief that overy Chris
tian mum go to hell, but he Is not. Ho
wants to mako earth a hell for tho un
believer whllo ho lives, and to Insult
his remains when he is dead.
In tho Galata churchyard tho Turks
havo deliberately dug overy grave,
thrown rubbish Into It, scattered tho
bones about tho ground nnd destroyed
tho crosses which served as tomb
stones. Many other graveyards wero
similarly desecrated.
Somo light Is thrown on such conduct
by tho following Mohammedan prayer,
which Is sanctioned by tho highest nu
thorlty nnd Is recited flvo times dully
throughout Turkey:
"Oh, Lord of nil creatures! Oh. Allah!
destroy tho Ohlanurs nnd Polythelsts,
thlno enomlcs, tho cnemleB of religion,
Oh, Allah! Make tholr children or
phans, nnd dofllo tholr bodies; causo
their feet to slip; give them nnd their
families, their household, nnd their
women, their children, nnd their rela
tions by marriage, their brethren and
their friends, their poEsernlons, nnd
their race, their wealthy nud their
lands, an booty to the Moslems, Oh,
Lord of nil creatures!"
On Juno 4 Mr. Dourchler saw two
BlcamerB nnd n gunboat land four thou
sand noldlers at Sebrona, whero the
garrison wns besieged by n small forco
of Cretans. After liberating tho gar
rison they proceeded along tho shore,
burning nil tho villages they passed.
TIimo soldiers were fresh from the Ar
menian atrocities.
They hnd then spent five rucccsbIvc
days In burning unoffending villages
and committing outrages. "A moro
disgraceful thing," says Mr. Dourchler,
"bus never been permitted by Europe."
Creto Is nn Island lying to the south
east of Greece nnd to the southwest of
Turkey, In Asln. It Is 15f. mile lr.
length nnd 35 In width. Tho popula
tion Is 291,192. It Is painful to relnto
that they havo a European reputation
for untruthfulness, but thnt, of course,
furnishes no reason for massacring
them.
Tho people are of puro Greek race,
nnd ancient Greek Is Btlll npoken In tho
Interior. Crete Is conspicuous In myth
ology ns tho homo of Mlnotnur.
Crete has considerable commerce In
wines, olives and other nntural prod
ucts, and In very pretty silk fabrics.
It has several fine harbors. The canltul
is Canea.
In the course of its history It has hnd
many masters. The Roman Empire
annexed It In 07 II. C. nnd wns followed
by tho Saracens, and next by the Iv
zantlne Empire. Tho Venetian Repub
lic acquired It In 1201 A. D. nnd the
Turks took It from them In 1009. Tho
Cretans took part In the Greek war of
independence, but wero held by tho
Turks. Twenty-live years ago they ob

this they uro ruled by Turkish olllcials
and hnvo less freedom than the Cubans

series which will continue until tho
Cretans have been exterminated or
uchieved tholr independence. While
the Turkish conduct In Crete nnd In
Armenia Is slmllnr, It must be under
btood that tho Cretans and the Armen
ians are different. The Cretans nre a
very aggressive and warlike peoplo nnd
havo hud a largo share In causing tho
present trouble. There havo been mns

have taken ndvantngo of tho helplesB

of Christians.
The Cretan pntrlots nro In nctlve
communication with tho Pan-Hellenist
party In Greece, nnd hnvo been sup
plied by them with nrniB, money and
men. At tho outbreak of tho present
hostilities there wero 20,000 Cretans
and Pnn-Hellcnists possessing arms.
They hnd been drilled secretly.
The outbreak was precipitated by the
Turkish soldiery, men who had takn
part In the Armenian atrocities. Tho
Mohammcdnn citizens Joined them. At
thto end of May they broko looso or
woro turned looso In tho streets of
Canea, tho capital. They murdered all
tho Christians they met, and plundered
many of their houses. Tho sickening
scenes so often described In tho caso
of Armenia were repented. Llttlo chil
dren wero thrown Into the ulr nnd
spitted on bnyonets, and women woro
abused nnd then slaughtered. Tho ca
vasses, or guards of tho Greek and
Russian consulates, woro stabbed to
death outsldo tho doors of those build
ings. Turkish soldiers wcro to bo seen nf
terward In tho streets of Canea carry
ing cars of Christian women as decora

in Canea for two days, at tho end of
which the authorities, thinking that
tho patlcnco of tho European powers
might bo pushed too far, did their best
to restore order.
After this affair tho Cretan moun
taineers nssembled under arms and
