THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ; SUNDAY , SEPTEMBER 20 , 1890. 19
"Speak gently of the dead , " wan express-
tvo and Impressive description given by an
, Omaha dealer of the condition of the
! bicycle trade In this vicinity. Hut Omaha
i is not alone on the dumps. The whole
L country Is In a comatose state so far as
I trade Is concerned , and politics claimed
to bo the cause. The New York Times
L says ' Money is scarce , and the manufaet-
S urers of bicycles find the times hard. Agents
I who have been supplied with bicycles on
I the consignment plan have had some dlfll-
I culty In making collections , and the nu-
f morons failures that are being weekly re
' '
s' ported are entirely due to the panic over
| the approach ot the coming election. As
I soon as the votes are polled and the suc-
f ccssful candidate Is announced , brighter
E times will como.
f "To many It has apparcd that the bl-
: cycle Irado has suffered a rev else. This
is a wrong Impression. The makcis of
I standard blcjcles have lots to bo thankful
i for. The season has been very success-
i ful , whllo ! )7 gives promise of a renewal
| > of the good times. Whllo It Is yet too
f early to gauge the situation as to the
' prices , high grade wheels will command
next year , It Is safe to say that the stand
ard goods will find a ready maikct. It
lias been argued that many of Iho well-
known manufacturers will stand out for
the regulation price for high grade wheels ,
and that thcso wheels will bo sold with a
guarantee that binds the manufacturer to
make good any and all defects In the wheel.
The agents will bo called upon to take
upon themselves this duty , which will ob
literate much of the Inconvcnlenco suf
fered through the breaking of n wheel and
the shipment of It to the factory.
"Tho bicycle business will live when many
ot the oMcr Industries have died. Makers
of standard bicycles anticipate no trouble
for next > car over the suspension of busi
ness at this trying period. "
The American blcjcle manufacturer Is arranging
\
ranging to push the sale of Amciican wheels
throughout England next season , and the
chances ot success are promising The Cycle
Tiado Journal says. "Agents , moro particu
larly those in the south of England , are do
ing well with American cjcles , nnd many are
actually pushing them In pieferenco to those
of British manufactutc for thu simple rea
son that the unfortunate dearth of English
mechanics during the spring and early sum
mer , and the consentient forced purchase of
Amciican machines by many of the upper
classes has , In a mcasuic , set a fashion for
such machines , so that the fashionable vis
itors to the watering rct-orls uro asking for
Aineilcan cycles. A well known south
coast agent , who has several depots in vari
ous towns , told us recently that be was
doing n lirgo trade In a very well known
American machine , while he could not dis
pose ot scarcely any ot an English firm of
equal standing. Price , he said , had some
thing to do with the matter , for the Amer
ican machine was consldeiably the cheaper.
People would not give bomcthlng llko $15
moro for the English wheel when they saw
It beside an apparently equally well fin
ished Ameilcan machine. And fuither. ho
maintained , that when new the Yankee
wheel ran qulto as well. We do not pro
pose to enter into a minute criticism of the
machines but it Is quite plain to us that
American cycles are qulto good enough to
DC serious rivals to the first grade British
machines , at any rate , among the class of
people who give cycles comparatively little
wear , and It must bo remembered that It Is
the very best class of buyers who pay the
test prices and give the agent the least
trouble. "
Tlie time has arrived when a more eni-
clcnt system than that generally adopted
for the transpoitatlon of bicycles must be
adopted A simple method is now proposed
whereby a largo number of wheels can he
packed In a small space. The methoJ is pe
culiarly adaptable to the carrying of wheels
In rUlwiy cars The machines near tno
floor are placed In metal tuppoits which
keep the wheels In line , and are Meld In an
I. \ upright position by means of holders on
I J the wall , which engage the rear wheel , On
the upper tier the rear wheel Is engaged by
wires , which hold the supports In place.
Single systems for three wheels , or double
systems for six wheels , can be arranged
along a wall space. Double sections can
be run lengthwise of rooms away trora walls ,
thereby greatly Increasing the storms ca
pacity. For use in baggage cars each sup
port is provided with an attachment to prevent -
vent the bicycle being thrown out of posi
tion by sudden starting or stopping of the
train. Each support can be Instantly and
entirely removed from its supporting posi
tion and placed In n rack overhead out of
the way. so that the space can be used for
trunks or other form of baggage. The sys
tem Is claimed to be valuable for not only
railway cars , but also for the wheel room
of blcjcle factories , Tiding schools , clubs ,
churches , colleges , schools and of public
buildings of all kinds. The economy of
Bpace It gives la such that a room accom
modating fifty bicycles in oidlnary holders
< fr racks can be made to store safely and con
veniently ISO bicycles. The difficulty of car
rying wheels in trolley cars has been over-
coma lu many places by the fixing ot hooks
on the top and sides of the car. Where this
practice obtains It Is no unusual ulght to
observe as many bicycles as passengers on
the car.
rtlcjclo riding Is not any moro dangerous
for women than for men. In the collision
of two bicycles in Now Yotk the other
evening , it was mere accident that the
woman was killed and the man escaped
with slight injury. Hut the cause ot the
collision appears to havu had bomethlng to
do with sex.
Tha woman , whom Iho New York papers
describe aa a modest person and a good
rider , had brcn terrified by some hoodlums
on the curbstone , and popslbly by Iho un-
vvolcauio attention of a man on a wheel.
Qulckinlnir her speed to escape , and com
ing suddenly upon some obstructions in the
trect , nho veered to the wrong side of the
road , and tha man coming the other way
was unable to escape her ,
\ The circumstances nro all pathetic. While
the women's death was , in a sense , from
her own fault , the fault Itself vias caused
1 > y & wound to her woman's sensitiveness
from which common decency should have
protected her , Thu rowdies who Insulted
lur uio really responsible for her death.
Unhappily there Is no much brutality in the
world that In many towns a woman must
use caution In going about the streets alone ,
whether on foot or on a wheel ,

Thcro has recently come to light an afflic
tion among bicyclists down cast which has
resulted , according to the New York Sun ,
In changing the opinion of a good many
riders as to the advisability ot back-pedal
ling. Instead of using a brake. WIQII | ( buy
wish to stop their wheels. Scarcely more
than a year ago , relates the Sun , brakes
wore as common on bicycles r.s they are
uncommon now , and before that time nearly
every wheelman regarded them ai a neces
sity. In thu craze for lighter wheels the
brake was treated llko all thu other parts
of a bicycle which , It was thought , could
bo romtvea without seriously Interfering
with the machlna's uae ; It was taken off.
To supply the function It performed
back-pedalling was practiced anil the knack
of stopping a wheel with the feet , instead of
with a liaii-1 brake , as before , was very gen
erally ai quired Many cyclists havu be
come no bandy at back-pedalling that they
now see absolutely no need of any other
meani of slackening their pace , whether on
level ground or descending a hill , but there
are many other riders nbo look upon a
brake a the tnoat cuceasary of a wheel's
attachments.
When the "bicycle band" wu complained
of last Pcrcmbor It was attributed to un
duly gripping the handle bar and the con
stant vibrating ot the latter , and the numb
ness which resulted was thought to bo partly
caused by climbing hills , when the handles
woio held more tightly than nt other time ? .
The blcjclo hand seemed to exist chiefly
among main riders who took long and fa
tiguing runs Little complaint of the sort
has como from women cjcllsta until lately.
Now , however , there nro wnmt.il who say
that they suffer from sore and , frequently ,
swollen wiUtc , which occasion a good deal
of discomfort. The cause of the trouble they
ascilhe to the tight gra p and ficqucnt
lifting on the handles which is Incident to
back-pedalling. A young woman on the
west sldo who discarded her biako the first
of the season , 1ms thU to say about her
case.
"The Idea of dolnc without a brake struck
me ns a good one , and I had my brake re
movrd. I found It easy enough to stop my
wheel without It , and there was a novelty
In back-pcdalliiK Instead ot having to grab
for a broke whenever I wonted to slow down.
That was several months ago Now I'm
going to have the brake back again In short
order. Why ? I have just found out what
has made m > wrists so weak and painful all
summer. I didn't once think that detaching
the hiako from my wheel had anything to
do with it until I was speaking thn other day
with a friend who Is troubled In the same
nay. She had also been doing without a
brake. Neither of us ever took very long
rides , and It was hard to see how the trou
ble could result from cycling Dut wo began
to compare notes , and finally we drifted
onto the brnko question. My friend much
preferred back-pedalling to using a brake ,
'but , ' said she , 'my wilsts get awfully tired
pulling up the bamllc bar. ' 'So do mine , '
said I , 'and I'm going to stop doing It. ' The
next day I made thoexpeilmcnt. It was Im
possible for mo to make a quick stop by not
lifting on the handles , but I was determined
to run the risk. When I got back from the
ride my wrists were as strong and well as
they were when I started. The next day 1
repeated the experiment and was convinced
tint I had found the secret of my trouble.
That settled back-pedalling for me. My
friend has profl'cd by my experience and
now has her old brake back again.
"It had been almost an cvoryday occur
rence In the last three or four months for
mo to romohomo from a spin with my wrists
aching dreadfully. Sometimes they would
bo swollen , and I would bathe them with
witch hazel or arnica. The pain would us-
uilly last several hours and sometimes It
wouldn't cease for two or three days. I no
ticed that after long rides , or rides on which
I was obliged to keep stopping continually ,
the pain was worse and lasted longer than
after I had taken a short run on u clear
road. Just so surely as I did much bick-
pcdalllng ray wrists grew tired , and I be
lieve If I hadn't discovered the cause of the
trouble when I did my case would soon have
deserved to rank among the afflictions of
plgcon-tocs and knock-knees as one of wrist
paralysis. The ro establishing of the brake
Is a sure cuio for the bicycle wrist , and no
body but antl-brakemen needs to fear an
attack of it. "

Coimldcrnblr Cnrp nml Skill n
to Do It rroperly.
To wash a sweater requires more care
and skill than a peison would ordinarily
Imagine. It should be washed in warm
water. In which borax has been dissolved ,
about a tablespoonful to a pall oC water ,
and rinsed lu warm water. Care must bo
exercised to prevent It from shrinking. A
cotton sweater is no trouble to wash. The
ordinary method of clothes v\ashing suf
fices.
Another method Is as follows : Into a ket
tle containing about a quart of water cut
half a cake of soap In small pieces , letting
the water boll until the soap Is dissolved.
Half fill a washtub with hot water , taking
care not to have boiling water , ns that Is
hound to shrink the wool. Place the sweater
In the tub and pour over It the dissolved
soap water. Work the sweater well between
the hands or on a washboard , but do not
use soap on the sweater direct , as It will
cause spots and streaks after It has dried
Another method Is to use gasoline alone
Use enough gasoline to fairly wet the
sweater and take the dirt out , working the
woolen goods well with the hand. Squeeze
out all of the gasoline possible after the
sweater has been cleaned and hang up to
dry.
dry.Ono
Ono of the best recipes Is given to a
well known local wheelman : Take a pall
about two-thirds full ot water. In ex
tremely cold weather the water may be
tempered a little , though for washing the
sweater It should bo more cold than warm
Take a cake of good laundry soap and rub
between the hands for a few moments In
the water. Soap containing too much al
kali will have an Injurious effect. Add a
teaspoonful of ammonia and stir. If the
garment Is very dirty , add more ammonia
Let the sweater soak for at least a quarter
of an hour ami twice as long If dlity. Then
souse and knead it with the hands enough
to squeeze the dirt out. Turn Inside out
and repeat the process. Put the garment
In another pall and rhibo thoroughly several
times , keeping up the kneading pioccss
Then lay the sweater on a line cr a
wooden frame to permit the water to drip
off and the sweater to dry The drjlng
process should not be in the sun. Winder
or the nro Is generally better. No Ironing
Is necessary , and when the garment is dry
turn Inside out and the sweater is ready
for use.

It has been rumored for some time that
ono of the largest eastern cycle manufac
turing concerns would place a cbainlcss
wheel on the market next year. Stray
declarations to that effect have been made
frequently , but never with the full approba
tion of the firm. Kvcn now It is a matter
of conjecture whether or not the company
Intends to make a radical departure from
the present typo of chain driven machine .
It is possible , saya the Chicago Tlmcs-
Hcrald , that the firm has decided to make
and market a chalnlcss
machine to meet a
special demand. H would require a wide
slietch of Imagination to suppose that the
makers In question proposed to summarily
abandon the reputation they have gained
through the manufacture of the present
tpo by forcing upon the public a machine
so radically different In construction.
The idea is not by any means new. In
1S93 such machines wcio made and a few
of them sold. While the present Idea
greatly resembles that wheel , some few
changes have been made to compel t with
the times , The company that made the
first marketable chalnlcss bicycle was lo
cated In Hartford , Conn. The wheel which
It turned out was entirely too heavy and
had so many unfinished and unsightly
features that but few purchasers were to bo
found. Consequently the makers went the
vay of. hundreds who have endeavored to
educate the purchasing public they fulled ,
and their stock was purchased by a firm not
1,000 miles removed from the company which
now promises to place a chalnless wheel
before the eyes cf 1897 purchasers.
Mechanical engineers outside of the trade
and these engaged in the making of bicycles
have always admitted that tlio chain and
sprocket method ot drtrlug a cycle is the
poorest for transmitting power. Illdcra , too ,
hare resitted It through the trouble they
have experienced by the stretching and
breaking of chains , rusting and clogging of
links with dun ! . In the face of nothing bet
ter tbo chain has been allowed to suffice.
In England , however , the bother occasioned
by the many little annoyances baa been re
duced to a minimum bjr the uie ot gear
cases. lu this country rlJera are averse to
usluir gear cases , but have long wished for
lomethlng In the way ol a change which
would preiervo the preicot line * of uouuti
and TvTttcn would obviate the fitting ot an
unsightly gear case.
In the new machine , or rather In the ap
plication of an old device under newer nnd
better aiuplccn , American riders will be
given a blcyclo. It Is said , graceful In lines ,
equally as speedy as the present type , nnd
that will dispense with that bugbear the
chain.

The very latest novelty which has coma
from the busy brains of the blcyclo makers
is an ambulance , and It promises to supersede
old-fashioned clattering horse-
sede the - , ,
drawn vehicle entirely.
This now adjunct to a prominent Chicago
hospital has been thoroughly tested within
the last few weeks , and has easily proven
Its superiority. In the first place , It Is
available for tiso at any moment. Thcro Is
no waiting necessary for the hitching or un
hitching of horses , nnd , unlike- horses , It
never becomes tired. U is light , strong
nnd sightly , and requires no more care
than the ordinary machine used tor pleasure
riding- . .
The ambulance Is made of ono or tno
lighter varieties of wood and Is panted
white. When the door at the rear Is closed
ventilation Is secured by opening the slat-
covered window at the front. Two strongly-
mailo bicycles , equipped with every neces
sary appliance , are placed on each side or

snrlngs attached to the two front crnnlt
hangers , which form a seating for the cross

The hospital In question has a clientele o

for tbo now ambulance from this class. In
appearance It Is Innnltely superior to the old

Helloes of tlu- Tourist Wlieelmen.
With thankful hearts that the hilly run
over Into Iowa was over and with eager
anticipations ot a nlco ilde down to Spring
field , the Tourists or Rainmakers counted
the days from ono Sunday to tbo other , but
Io when the appointed hour arrived the
streets were wet and slippery , the country
roads were anything but Inviting , and the
members could not make the run. A few
congregated around the club rooms , nnd on
learning that Mr. Kd Porter of the Palmer
Tire company , who halls from Chicago , waste
to pass thiough on the train , concluded
to take a little spin around town and wind
up at the union depot ( ? ) and extend to
him their best wishes for a pleasant and
safe journey across the country , Mr. Porter
beingon his way to Denver , Colo. Only
about fifteen of the bojs went to the depot ,
the balance thinking , perhaps , ho could bo
Induced to stop over for a few days and
they would have a chance to exchange yarns
with him In the club rooms. In this they
were disappointed , although Kd promised
to stop over on his way back for a day or
tw o. , ,
Wo always knew Porter was quite a rider ,
but never until last Sunday werewo aware
of the fact that he was such a sprinter , but
after the boys Induced him to go about a
block from the depot to get a glass of "ice
water" ( ? ) and n little coloring had been
put Into It to make it icsemblo circus lem
onade , the crowd started back down to the
train when It was discovered tint it had
started. Mr. Porter had Informed us that
his ticket could not bo extended and was
good only for continuous passage , and the
only thing ho could do was to catch that
train Did ho do it ? Well , you ought
to have seen him ; the half dozen newsboys ,
bootblacks and poodle dogs never know what
hurt them. Dut ho got there , and with
both feet , too. Tlio second contingency
arrived at the depot about this time. Where
is he ? What did you do with him ? and
may other questions were propounded In
quick succession , and Porter , oh , where was
he ? Ask of the telegraph oporatbr and
train crew who saw him like a Hash of
lightning jump aboard the moving train
and bid all adieu.
After a hasty explanation of just how It
happened , the party rode back up town and
Indulged in a short spin about town. Porter

Among the many relics which have re

In keeping with my promise of last Sun
day I herewith give the account of n trip
through England and other points of In
terest ns narrated by Ed Illack , which gives
some valuable pointers to others who might
be contemplating a similar journoy.
H Is not within the province of so short
an article as this must necessarily bo to
give a very Intelligent account of cvcllng as
It Is cnjojcd In England , but 1 will try to
comply with a request for n short account
of my recent visit in that country and my
trip awheel between Ualllmore and Chicago
It docs not take the casual observer very
long to find out that the wheel has caught
on Immensely In England , ami that among
all classes can bo found enthusiastic vo
taries of the bicycle. The Inability of homemakers
makers to fill orders promptly has made the
Introduction of American mounts quite a
feature In the cycling world. It Is gen
erally known I think that most ot the roads
over there are good and well maintained
The laws affecting wheelmen nro rigidly
enforced and seldom It Is that the offender
escapes with Immunity. A "scorcher" having
been brought before a magistrate for fast
riding said upon being nuestloned that ho
was following a hearse when arrested , but
his Jocular mood moved not the heart of
the magistrate , who ordered that the
usual fine bo forthcoming.
Cycling In the busy portion of London Is
moro or less n hazardous undertaking , al
though this docs not seem to deter wheel
men from peddling through the dense
tralllc. Ilural England has an element of
charm that docs not go unnoticed by the
great nrmv of cjcllsts nnd ocllenncs. whenever
never tlio of leaving- business cares for an
exhilarating season of outing In the coun
try awheel. I reached there Just as the
merry month of May was sweetly asserting
Itself with sunshine and flowers , and did
not leave until summer had como with its
more matuied offerings. The admirer of
antiquity can find plenty of Interesting
places with antique associations , while the
lover of the beautiful can see much from
the saddle- that will please the eye.
My experience has been that no better way
of visiting these Interesting places could
bo mentioned than by recommending the
wheel. The maximum of enjoyment and
satisfaction Is obtained with the minimum
of expenditure by enlisting1 the companion
ship of your pneumatic tired friend. Take
your machine with you , and It taken apart
and carefully packed In a case with jour
personal effects It will1 go Tight through as
baggage , and besides saving you the ex
pense of sending a "crated bicycle" It is
a safer way of transporting your wheel a
long distance. I paid ? 1 charges on my case
containing a wheel and personal effects be
tween Omaha union depot and Waterloo
station , London , and that amount was for
transfer charges at Chicago and New York.
One of the many delightful runs which I
made out of London and ot which I remem
ber particularly was one to Henley-on-

very Inviting fountain with the Inscription ,
"Corao ye that are athlist. " I was athirst
and I came , but whether the water works

that I was still atblrst after leaving the

made lapld strides ot advancement , the
wheel has run the gauntlet of more or less
adverse criticism across the pond , but ,

lot of critics.
Reaching New York August 7 on the St.
Louis , after a quick trip of six dajs and
two hours. I at once proceeded to look
around Gotham , but ray ardor In this direc
tion was dampened by a big thunderstorm ,
so I took a nlsht train for lialtlmoto ,
"whence the oysters come from. "
The next morning I started on my wheel
for Chicago , reaching Washington after a
day's ride through excessive heat and over
sandy load. I i cached Laurel , Mil. , at noon ,
stopping long enough to Immeiae myself In
the river nnd to satisfy an attack of hunger.
The following day , Sunday , I spent In en
joying the attractiveness of Washington and
riding along the Potomac. Cabin John's
Bridge , ten miles from the capital , on a
very good road , la a very popular rendezvous
for cyclists
Gaithcrsburg , Md , , was reached at noon
on Monday , and after a short visit with
friends at this place I resumed my trip ,
anxious for a glimpse ot some of the hlllfl
and mountains , which my friends said I had
included in my route. This route , I am
aware , could not very well be recommended
to any one cycling direct from New Yorker
or Baltimore to Chicago , but the stops I
wished to make made It expedient that I
take the route I did. Krom Galthersburg
to Frederick the hlllo are numerous and long ,
whllo between the latter place and Hagors-
town. Pa. , one mountain * Is thrown In for
friendship sake. Within n few miles of
HageiMtown I had reason , to congratulate
myself when a stray bullqt sought refuge
In a fence post Insteadpf tplng to test the
resisting qualities of njy watch or buttons
on my clothing , At Cigar Springs some ex
cellent water Is on tap , of which I drank
freely before crossing ujiother mountain not
far from this place , The | ocal band was re
citing a lot of grievances ' onthe second floor
ot an old building. I , am told that the
drummer could perform In seven different
languages.
Some very unkind roads to Hancock were
followed by forty miles of hills and moun
tains , separating that pljico duel Cumberland
The last six miles Is a continual descent Into
Cumberland. While on , top of ono ot the
mountains near this place I had an Intro
duction to a settlement , of hornets , but hav
ing no dcfclro to cultivate a closer ac-
qualntancu I immediately quit the premlec.s
1'iom Cumberland , with very poor streets , I
went over eleven miles of gradual grade
to Froctlnirs , a nlco lltIo ( pluco fourteen
miles from Grantsvllle. From hero to
Unlonstown and Brownsville the country
would bo qulto level If the elevations were
cut off or the depressions filled In.
1'rom the Pennsylvanla-Webt VlrRlnta
state line to Wheeling the load Improves ,
whllo on to Columbus , O. , you will find good ,
bad and indifferent "pikes. " A two weeks'
stop in Columbus and surrounding country ,
cycling with friends , nutuccd to Impresg me
favorably with the roads in the Huckeje
state anJ with the hospitality of tha dctil-
leus in that quarter.
From Columbus to Chicago I went via
Muncle , Loganaport and Michigan City , findIng -
Ing the roads , aa a rule , very iood. and
riding between ; the ) Ilchlg n City railroad
tracks from Michigan City to Pullman , from
where the "Pullman course" was taken Into
Chicago.
Politics seemed to be the all-absorbing
theme- for conversation Among the natives
J met pnroute. I woke up ono morning before -
fore breakfast , as i.stial , and hwrlns a vrcrdy
combat on tha outside 1 Immediately directed
my attention to . group of fellows discuss
ing a technical point in politics. Ono ot
the participants became so enthtmrd that he
resorted to Inflammatory remarks with
arm movement obligate. I think ho must
have had the Inflammatory rhematlsm or
whooping cough , for 1 would sooner have
the measles than engage In an argument
as ho did *
Ono ot the many " 16 to 1" Interpretations
that I heard wag from an old darkey In
Maryland , who declared that this numerical
combination meant "sixteen for the white
man and ono for the colored man "
Another thing which struck mo forcibly
was that the button craze Is not confined
to any one locality. A man "down east"
who docs not wear from one to a doen but
tons on political and kindred subjects Is
Indeed a rara avis.
Oninliii Turner Wheel Club 1'lenle
Last Sunday the Omaha Turner Wheel
club had an enjoyable outing and picnic In
Syndicate park , South Omaha. The affair
was limited to members of the club only
and the point of destination was strictly
kept n secret. A good crowd turned up
early In the morning , all ot them chuck
full of curiosity as to whcro Captain Phil
Moeller would finally lead them.
As the weather was rather unfavorable
the start was not effected until nearly 1
o'clock , when about forty bovs nnd twenty
girls , all In their natty gray uniforms and
lings 11 } Ing , the commissary wagon bringing
up the rear , wheeled away from their club
rooms on Harney street , and as they wended
their way along Twentieth street much
comment was made on their line appearance ,
ovrry one seeming to Know that the jolly
Tinners and their ladles were going to have
another of their famous Jollifications Ar
riving at the park cvc'ry ono made their
way to the lake , where camp was struck
Tables and benches wcro drawn up and all
sat down to n repast such as would make
others' , as well an a German's , pulses beat
quicker. Mr and Mrs. Paddlefoot had
charge of the refreshments , and such a
spread pigs' feet , spare ribs , ham , eggs ,
pickles , bread and butter , cake , etc. well ,
what Is the use , you know what the Paddles
are famous for ! After lunch hud been
vashcd down with lake water ( nit ) and n
rest of half an hour the program of events
for the aftcinron was carried out with the
following results :
Illcyclo race for gentlemen , % -mlle , around
the lake , no allowance for headers : First ,
Fred Maggie Bllz , 1 55 ; second , Paul Wurl ,
1.5S.
Blcyclo race for ladles , same course
First. Miss L. Wcnz , 2 32 ; second , Miss Eva
Strieker , 2:55. :
Illuming far Jump , gentlemen : First ,
Chris Lehman. JS feet 1 inch ; second , Paul
Wurl , 17 feet 11 Inches.
Running far jump , ladles : First , Miss
Edna Andres , 11 feet 2 Inches ; second , Miss
L. Wcnz , 10 feet 10 Inches.
As the weatheri began to look threatening
It was decided to finish the picnic at the
club rooms , so everything was packed
quickly , wheels were mounted and the run
for homo was made In a hurry , nnd such a
scorch , the ladles finishing In the first rush.
After moro refreshments had been secured
everyone took their places around the tables
and for the next three hours the program
was about as lively and unique ns any vet
ever can led out by the club. Music , sing
ing and dancing was the order , and when
Mr. August Doyle sang his favorite song
with so much pathos as to cause little
Maggie to break down completely , saying "It
was too touching for anything , " It was
voted the hit ot the evening. The ball
game that was arranged to take place be
tween the ladles and gentlemen had to be
postponed on account of the weather , and
was finished on Thursday evening at the
Turner hall. It was nip and tuck for
awhile , but the ladles finally won by their
superior playing by a score of 8 to 7 , much
to the disappointment of the boys. Prizes
werei also awarded to the winners of the
contests on Sunday. Handsome gold medals
wcro awarded for first prizes and leather
medals were awarded to the winners of the
second prizes. One of the ladles Is trying
to find out what the two boys were up to
sitting so long on that large stone over
looking the lake , for as she passed along
underneath she thought she heard one say
seven and the other say something about
cloven , and now she Is sklunlsblng around

ilIAICINK OK 1MAS.
One of the Modern MnclilnCH AVI 11
Turn Oot S , ( ) ( ) ( ) nn Hour.
There is scarcely a woman living who
does not use the common and everyday pin
every day more or less , but few , however ,
over think how It is made. To complete a
pin , says the Dry Goods Economist , It haste
to go through many hands before It Is ready
for the consumer. It Is a very delicate ar
tlcio to handle , and the cost of building the
machines to make it is the greatest outlay.
The wire from which these pins are man
ufactured is bpcclaily prepared , and comes to
the factory on largo reels very much like
gigantic cotton spools.
The wire Is first turned through eight or
tin little copper rollers. 7his is to get all
the bend and kink out of It ; in other words ,
to straighten It perfectly. After thli pre
liminary operation is completed It is once
moro wound on a very largo reel , which is
att hod to the machine that makes the
pins Ono of thcso machines makes on an
average 8,000 pins an hour , and some largo
factories will often have thirty or forty ma
chines at work at ono time. After the pins
are released from the grip of this machine
they are given a bath of sulphuric acid.
This removes all the grease and dirt from
them.
They are then placed in n tub or barrel
of sawdust. Pins nnd sawdust are next
taken together from the barrel and allowed
to fall In a steady stream through a strong
air blast , which separates the sawdust from
the pins. But as yet they are pointless ,
and pins without points would not bo of
much use. In order to point them they are
carried on an endless grooved bolt which
passes a bet of rapidly moving files. This
points them roughly , and after bolns passed
between two grinding wheels and forced
against a rapidly moving band faced with
emery cloth they are dipped In a polishing
tub of oil. Tills latter is a large , slowly re
volving copper-lined tub , which Is tilted at
an angle of about forty-flvo degrees. As this
revolves the points keep sliding down the
smooth copper to the lower side , and owing
to the constant friction against the copper
and each other receive a brilliant polish and
finish
They go next to the sticker , where they
fall from a hopper on an inclined piano , In
which are a number of slits The pins
catch In these silts and , hanging by their
heads , slide down to an apparatus which
Inserts them In the paper. This machine Is
porhips the most Ingenlo.iiH of all the beau
tiful and con-plicated contrivances that help
to make and manipulate the pin It docs all
thin at the rate of 100,000 pins an hour , and
yet a single bent or damaged pin will cause
It to stop feeding until the attendant re
moves the offender The pins are then
