Several aerloufl accidents and ono fatality
'occurred ' In different clllca tnst Sunday to
bicyclists riding on the strip ot ground be
tween street car tracks. Tlio practice Is
quite common In Omaha , mainly because the
Btrlp Is less worn than other portions of
the street and affords easier riding. Many
reckless riders havil been observed riding so
cloao to a moving street car that a slight jar
would have thrown thento the ground and
Imperiled their lives. The wonder Is that
\ / the practice has not already furnished work
i / for surgeons or undertakers. Whllo the city
i/ is not obliged to provldo guardians for fool
y ish w heelers , still the application of a po
liceman's club to the right npot occasionally
would materially assist In checking the reck-
le.'s.
No Investment pays < ich high Interest as
the money paid for a bicycle. The average
rider , according to a new devotee , saves 20
crnts a day In car fare , say five days a
week for fifty weeks in the year , or a sav
ing of $50 ; and If he owns a high-grade
wheel he will nave nothing to pay for re
pairs , thus obtaining a return of ISO per
cent upon hla original Investment. Should
In wish to obtain a new mount bo can. If he
boa been careful of his uhcel , sell It for half
the price , which , with the $00 he has earned
In car fares alone , will give him Ms year's
riding for nothing. This is exclusive of doc
tors' bills or the vnrious little expenses that
KO out for medicine dnrlng the year , railroad
fares usually expended for short pleasure
trips and like expenditures.
The wheels of a blcyclo the bearings
are properly adjusted should spin freely and
atop gradually with a rocking movement , yet
have no side play. To tort a wheel after ad
justing. apln smartly , letting It run Itself
out , when the weight of the valve should
stop the last almost complete revolution and
cau.io thu wheel to awing backward and for
ward until It stops with the valve at the bet
tom. Should It stop In any other position ,
then tbero Is a tight place In the bearings
which should bo loosened slightly allow
the balls to pats , , otherwise ono may jam and
break.
Hero Is the way Mayor Harrison of Chicago
cage differentiates between the equestrian
and the bicyclist' "When 1 go horseback rid
ing , " thu mayor says , "tho horse gets the ex
ercise. Ho doesn't1 exactly get It all , but he
gets the best part of It. On the other hand.
when I go blcyclo riding all the exercise Is
mine. I do all the \\oik. and have all the
fun. A. man can feel that be la doing some
thing for himself when he is riding a wheel ,
and there is a great deal of satisfaction in
that. "
The bicycler who wants to go on a journey
'by rail and take his faithful wheel to bear
him company , without extra charge , Is
doubtles destined to ho happy some day. He
may not secure tba passage of a law on the
subject , but he Is likely to IIml the railway
companies ready to make reasonable conces
sions. The laws of business will operate in
the end in favor ot whatever Is fair. The
eastern trunk lines which have their own
roads to Chicago carry wheels through to
that city. The New York Central. West
Shcro and Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
railroads check the wheels to Buffalo , where
they can be rechecked to western points.
The Erie road baa a system oC identification
tags \\hlch La said to work better than ono
ot checks ,
In the matter of footwear It is evident
that the average cyclist pays too little at
tention to his best interests. Last season
thousands of riders pushed over the high
ways of the country with feet Incased in
the modish pplnted-toed shoes which fashion
dictated for ordinary street wear. However
it may be fpr walking , nothing worse than
the pointed shoe could be chosen for bi
cycling. The requirements ot a perfect shoe
for cycling are a substantial sole , plenty of
room for the toes mid lacing carried well
down , to Insure ease and a fit sufficiently
close over the lower Instep to counteract the
V natural tendency of thu foot to 'work ' for
ward with the rider's downward thruata on
the pedal.
Here are a few euggcstlons going the
rounds for the benefit of the afflicted : "Don't
try to catch the handle bars with your teeth.
Don't look around to see if the hind wheel
Is .still ( olIaulnR. Don't be surprised If the
front wheel sho-vs a disposition to turn
Into a yard and He down for a rent. Al
ways fair en your right shoulder and do not
let your ear strike the ground till a few
seconds later. When you logo a pedal don't
get off and go back to look for It. It's there
on the machine still , and If you'll feel for
It long enough you'll find It again. Should
you find a runaway horse en your trail keep
close to the curb until he Is passed. Then
make a spurt and seize him by the tall and
put on the brake. ' Never kill a pedestrian
when It can be avoided , but , when you do
dismount and say you're sorry. "
Trying to acquire the art of climbing hills
la what Is troubling a good many novices at
this eeison. That there 1 an art in so do-
lug there Is Ilttlo dcubt , out practice and
muscle will do a great deal for the learner ,
much more than a few suggestions. If the
following la kept in mlnd.lt will aid the
rider to catch the knack of hill climbing.
Little Is gained by trying'to rush a hill.
It Is well to get 'a good start , but It la better
to so lay out the push that there will be a
reserve foros to send the -wheel over the last
rl " 3 "vhlch is always Jhe hardest. A good
ankle motion , clawing the pedals around ,
past and ever the dead center Is a decided
help. Throw the weight of the body well
forward and pull up allghtly on the handle
bars. If the grade Is very sharp try zig
zagging , or weaving , up the hill ; frequently
this will give a needed nut on a long hill.
Try to keep an even pace ; avoid sudden
atraitu. Inst , but not least , sit uquarely In
the saddle ,

tfiti ot Control.
The Bulletin , published by the League of
American Wheelmen , concedes that there are
many bcrlous objections to the methods of
the league la controlling racu meetings. It
calls the present system a racing trust , that
the leaguu controls racing "not wisely , but
4jo much , " and frankly admits that radi
cal reforms are neceusary to prevent tba
growth ot the secession movement begun
in CM tern status. "The scrloua question , "
gaja the Bulletin , "and it is bound to bo
a still more lerloua question in time , la not
hall tha league ccntrol racing , but shall
its cot-Urol be accomplished by the use of
a bludgeon , rather than by diplomatic , tact
ful , biiaiiu'js-llke methods. It U not true ,
as ban been stated , that racing In Itself IB
rreponslblo for all thu troubles of the Lrague
of American \Vuelmen. We do not b -
lievo that clean , honeit racing has ever
fceen productive of harm to anybody. The
real trouble comes and always has come
from the fact that the league has tried to
control racing , not wisely , hut too much.
"Why require a muction to tun a race
meet ?
Tnat'a an Interesting question. Think it
over
"Who does it benefit ?
"Is it an advantage to the average league
member T
"Certainly uot. Competition in bicycle rac
ing means lower prices for aeats In the grand
stand , or more and better attractions. 'Don u

except thcuB who ara directly benefited.
"The League of American Wheelmen is
running a racing trust , and U Is of interest

"Tho moat open competition la certainly

race poisible.
"Uovr about th racing men ? They hats
speed to sell ; what Is the Commercial fact In
buying and selling * Isn't'Tt that the more
buyers the better price the seller can real
ize ? Why , certainly The racing man who
has shown himself to be a 'drawing card. '
wants the benefit ot competition for hla
services : while the 'unknown' U benefited
by having the largest possible number ot
races In which he may enter , and the more
the big ones arc scattered the better will be
hla chances of winning. We cannot believe
that any racing man waa ever benefited by
our sanction aystem ; but. Instead , many of
them have been suspended for competing In
unsanctlo ied races , and without the means
ot knowing at the tlmo that they were doing
wrong.
"Who. then , Is benefited by the sanction ?
Our < rgnnizatlon In supposed to be a broad
one , seeking the greatest possible good. In
a fairly representatlvo race meet there are ,
say , 5,000 spectators , flity racing men , one
promoter.
"Now. If the sanctions ever benefited any
body , It waa the promoter ; and yet , even he
will tell you nine times out of ten that the
sanction la a farce , and on the tenth time
you are apt to and that a sanction is
wanted to protect an Inferior attraction era
a poor business manager against legitimate
competition , and always at the expense ot
the public.
"With mora or less general grumbling the
League ot American Wheelmen is acknowl
edged to be In control of racing. Why ?
Simply that because of the age of the or
ganization It Is supposed to be responsible
for Its actions and that It must of necessity
represent the sum total of racing wisdom ?
Not a thousand times not U is reopccted
for the same roaaon'that the bully at school
Is respected , while any one of thu other boys
would lick him It bo could.
"Tho League of American Wheelman con
trols racing at present bccausu It Ls more
powerful than.any other organization. Let us
got together at St. Louis next February and
see what we can do toward the end that the
League of American Wheelman may de-
serva the respect that la now shown In too
many instances only through , tear. "

A fat man Is popularly supposed to be
the embodiment of good nature and Imper
turbable serenity of mind. A woman learn
ing to ride the blcyclo Is with equal unanmity
supposed to have undisputed right of way
over any and all surface area of thl3 sub
lunary sphere -whereon it may please her to
pursue her wabbling course.
At first sight there may not appear to be
any connection between these two state
ments , eays the St. Louis Republic , but a
recent happening In Minneapolis presents
them to the world in a certain juxtaposi
tion which would seem , to demand a read
justment of public opinion either as to the
fat man'a amicability or the female bicycle
tyro's franchise covering the earth. Onp
or the other it may even be both Is now
accorded a consideration to which It Is not
entitled.
The fat man of Minneapolis , we are told ,
was standing on a street corner waiting for
a car. The charming beginner on the
bicycle was zigzagging Joyously adown the
thoroughfare In his direction. Before the
cr reached the fat man the bicycle and Its
feminine rider had engaged his serious at
tention. As the car passed the group It was
seen that the stout Mlnneapolltan had been
borne to the earth by the shock ot the en
gagement. presenting a picture of undignified
chaos possible only to a rotund old gentle
man in a catcb.-afl-catcb.-can bout with such
antagonists.
A traditional fat man would have risen
from the encounter with a Jolly laugh , patted
the catapultlc bicycle maiden on the back
and told her to go and run down another
fat man. Not so our Minnesota -behemoth.
His iflnt act upon regaining the perpendicu
lar wan to madly clutch the machine that
had proved his undoing. Then , with a fury
almost Incredible as emanating from a fat
man. he dashed the bicycle repeatedly to
earth until It was utterly demolished. In
token whereof , ho may now have to answer
In the courts to a charge of malicious de
struction of property.
Fat men and bicycle girls will ba equally
defendant In the resultant action. The tem
per of one and the rights of the other are
the Issues at stake. Where should either
find a limit In such a case as la now re
ported ?

"The Sergeant's , " in big , bold , black let
ters. over the door of a little building at 23
Pennsylvania avenue northwest , is the some
what unusual sign which bos. since last
Wednesday , attracted attention , says the
Washington. Star. A , peep through the open
doors at the interior , which is fitted up
with a handsome oak bar , -with the usual
amount of looking-glnss and shelve ! ! full of
bottles , would strengthen the first Impression ,
but for tha fact that almost at any time
In the day trim young women in bicycle coa-
tumca may be seen , their dainty feet restIng -
Ing on the rod in front of the bar , holding
up a glata full of sparking liquid , and giz-
Ing at their rellectlcas in the bevelled mirror.
The place Is unique In every respect. It la a
saloon In reality , and fitted up Just as the
average saloon It fitted up , but It is a tem
perance saloon. The proprietor Is James H.
McChesney. who was formerly a sergeant
In ttjo regular army. It is the only saloon
In the United Slates , he says , which Is con
ducted us a saloon and yet at which only
temperance drinks arc aold. He decided that
thcro was a certain fascination about a
saloon which had as much charm tor the
average young man as the liquor he drank.
In the barroom there Is a small side table
on which a free lunch is served to the pa
trons ot the house. and In the rear room are
small tables at which drinks art * served. A
space has been left for a pool and billiard
table , which will be put In in a few days.
Coffee and milk are nerved to thoee who

A new Idea In bicycle bells that will surely
give a loud alarm is composed of three bells
mounted on the handlebar , with three ham

bells being tuned ( a sound like < chime.
To prevent the balls f'om dropping out of
the baaringa when tbo wheel Is taken apart
a new device has a metal washer which locks
into the outside ot the cup and projects out
far enough to hold the balls In place without
Interfering with the cones of tha shaft.
For loug-dHstanco or long-time rides a
drinking device is to be attached to the
wheel , consisting of a reservoir to bold tha
water , with a flexible tube fastened ta a
frame over thu handlebar extending into tbo

Charles Kendall Adams , the eminent educator
cater and writer , now president of Wiscon
sin University , while in Europe not long
ago , traveled a thousand miles by coach in
the Alps. There were six persons In the
coach. It required thirty-three days. They
went through four of the great passes. They
never drove less than twenty-flve miles a
day and frequently as high as fifty , yet In
making that one thousand miles , in thirty-
three days , they had but one span of horses.
It is explained In the fact that the entire
distance covered had been supplied with su
perb roads. Dr. Adams is enthusiastic as
an advocate of good roads. After giving his
experience as above stated , he asked. "What
would be tha condition of a team of horses
driven in this country , over mountain roads ,
from twenty-flve to fifty miles a day , six
days in a week , for a month ? " The state
ment ot facts and the question furnish ample
food for reflection.

ures as naturally attracts the > attention of

Is a name , particularly the name of a well
known man clcae to the row of figures , the
paragraph is about as certain to be read as
a telegram sent by a senator to an office-
seeker announcing his appointment to the
place he was seeking. .Men who have been
spending years In computing the cost of
transporting farm products from the farm
tti the railroad In this country , give it as
their firm belief that the products thus trans
ported amounted in 1835 to the fabulous sum
af.2,6S9,875,147 tona for one mile , and that
the coat of such wagon transportation was
J3G3.000.000. or at the rate of 25 centa a ton
for each mile. They estimate that the same
amount of products transported bywagon on
good gravel or broken stone road could be
done at a saving ot two-thirds of the vast
amount , an amount eo great that it seems
almost beyond comprehension.
Now. If these same gentlemen , one of them
the editor of an agricultural paper , Mr. John
M. Stahl. another a farmer , another Isaac B.
Potter , president of the League of American
Wheelmen , and that class ot men , would
giva us an estimate of thu number of miles
of good road the { 965,000,000 that good roads
would save per year , -would construct. It
would be comparatively easy to state bow
long it would require to furnish the country
with a system of good roads that would
enable it each yrar to save more than half
a. billion of dollars In the matter of wagon
transportation , to say nothing about the great
pleasure such roads would give the people ;
to say nothing about the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars that would be added to the
value of farm and other property ; to say
nothing about the convenience In reaching
ichool , church , creamery , cheese factory and
so on , and so on.

It appears that after some flv < j yewn' re
search the metallurgical department of the
Sheffield Technical school has solved a pe
culiar problem to students , namely , why a
piece ot red-hot tool steel becomes flint lord
when suddenly quenched In water. The re
sult of the researches In question &hnwed , al-
mott beyond a doubt , that the well-nigh
diamond hardness ot quenched steel la due
to the presence of a remarkable aub-cirblde
of iron , and that the action of 'empe-ing is
due to the fact that far below red beat this
compound decomposes and dilutes the mesa
with soft iron the permanent magnethm of
steel depending on the amount present of
this compound. It naa formerly auppjaed
to be a satisfactory explanation , of this
phenomenon that the ehoclt drove the mole
cules of the steel Into closer contact , and
hence the hardness a theory Invalidated by
tha fact that , as disclosed , tha volume of
the hardened steel woa greater than , that of
the unhardened material.

TheCrrnt Sloni Warrior Greeted by
IlntTnln Itlll.
In the center box over the main entrance
at Madison Square garden there sat re
cently a very old man , relates the New York
Sun. He was thin and bent and hla nwartUy
skin was wrinkled with the marks of many
yeara. Below him In the arena the daring
riders of the wild west charged back anl
foith. performing wonderful feats of horse-
minshlp , and the mimic battle raged with
much yelling ot Indian and cowboy and the
battering volley of rifle and revolver. The
ol I man * at unmoved. Much of such sport
he had seen on the western plains and many
a battle where each volley bore death from
out Its smoke , but this ho'coillfl ' not see. for
ho was all but blind , and' behind his blue
gog-glcs could see nothing of wh'at was going
on below. So Red Cloud ; greatest of the
war chiefs of the Sioux , * at 'under ' a roof
with thousands of paleface1 ! Tihd above the
mimicry of that which had'wrested from his
people their mastery of tlH- broad American
plains. '
Red Cloud Is SO years ' old 'and past his
flghtlcg days even wera them < a chance for
him to fight. His tall , thlu form Is bent , his
step Is feeble and only his eual-black hair
as uncompromising In Its Uaahncss as In lla
str.ilghtnpsa has rcslnted tbo branding power
of old age. He cams on from Washington ,
where ho had been , to confurrwlth the gov
ernment , In company with , .American Horse ,
Three Stars ( whose name does , him Injustice ,
for ho la a most temperate Individual ) , and
Patrick Star , who Is not Irlshrabut Sioux , to
vUlt Buffalo Bill. Under ilaivAfrald of His
Horse , the hereditary ch cfof the Sioux.
Red Cloud , who was never afraid ot any
thing was the great was chief and fought In
moro than. 203 battles. It waa be who cap
tured Fort Phil Kearney when every man
at the post was massacred. He has met
most of the famous Indian fighters of the
past fifty yei-s In battle , as has also Ameri
can Horse , and when , they met Buffalo Bill
they met a man who was both an old friend
and an old enemy.
The party arrived at 3 o'clock and were
met by Major Burke , who took them to
Madison Square garden. When the perform
ance was over Red Cloud was taken down
Into the arena to meet hla people , the Slout.
Red Cloud Is taciturn , even for an Indian.
The Sioux did the proper thing In the way
of salutation.
Red Cloud said " "
"Humph ! or something
like It.
Buffalo Bill came forward and greeted the
old warrior.
Red Cloud In an excws of courtesy re
marked : "Ugh ! "
Flat Iron , chief of the Ogalalla Sioux.
came forward and snorted In. salutlon.
Red Cloud waxed loquacious and unbent to
the extent of saying "How ! "
The spirit moved Buffalo Bll to make a
speech. It ran about as fallows :
"Chief Red Cloud. I am glad to welcome
you , American Horue. and jrour friends to
this great tepee. You and I have met
before on the plains , nometimes in peace and
sometimes in war. No-w we meet to celebrate
lastingpeace. . "
Red Cloud said something that may not
have been "woree luck. " but it certainly
had that Intonation.
"As you know , your people have traveled
with me for many years In this country
and In Europe , but this is the first time you
have honored us with a visit. Your people
have been taken care of. and have bad good
payment in money. "
Here Red Cloud said something else. The
Interpreter said he couldn't translate , but
the other Sioux grinned. It must have been
a joke. Indiana don't grin at nothing.
"I recognize In you one of the greatest
characters in the history of the plains. You
are the greateot warrior of the epoch. You
have done what you , thought was right and
best for your people. Now it la the white
man's turn , and his civilization boa over
come yours. "
Again Red Cloud made an observation.
The interpreter said something about 10.000
white scalps , and the Sioux grinned again.
It is probably just as well for the cranial
Integrity of last night's audience that Chief
Red Cloud is past his fighting prime.
"American Horse la also a warrior , " said
Buffalo BUI , "and la now a leader in the
ways of peace. I hope bdth of you will
take this opportunity to ? e ? all you can of
the great city of the whites , "t'bid you wel
come again. "
Red Cloud delivered himself bf two grunts ,
a deml-semiquaver of a snort and | a chopped-
off gurgle , which the polite Interpreter ex
panded Into : . ,
"The chief says that his he/irt is glad to
meet hla people and Pe-hehaska ( Long Hair ) ,
who has been a warrior In the field and a
friend around the fire. , He has much to
speak of with Long Hain He is old and
weary and has traveled ifar , , At another
council he will speak monj. 41He rejoices to
have seen his young man and spoken to
them. "
"Hoc ! concluded Red Cloud , eloquently.
That terminated the interview.

letics , which in some communities has grown
Into Intense rivalry , is likely to lead to ex
cesses In training and practice for contests ,
which , unless checked and brought down to a
rational basis , may do mora barm than good.
Many young men seem to think that because
the practice of athletics Is favorableto I
health the more they can get of this practise
the better. This Is an erroneous Impression ,
for it is as possible to overwork in athletics
as it Is in buaine > s and a. great many young
people do themselves Injury by their exces
sive zeal In tba practice of competitive exer
cise.
In this line of physical activity , as in any
other , there is a limit to human capability
and it Is possible to develop the muscular
and nervous systems to the detriment of the
heart and lungs or of the digestive system.
But the conditions under which athletics
are usually practiced are so favorable to the
maintenance ot health and rigor that few
persona who were sound at the time of com
mencing their athletic efforts have Injured
themselves by the practice ot these vigorous
exercises. It la true that a. certain number
of young men who wera distinguished for .
their supremacy In certain athletic events <
have died young. But the number of young
men who are now practicing athletic exer-
clxs In this country and appearing in public
contests Is very large , as many aa GOO or 700
entries being recorded In some of the great
city meetings.
Examlnit the labels and trademarks ot pro
prietary articled. Imitations are common ,
and in aomo coses tbo difference between
them and the genuine la ao slight as to es
cape careless observation. Beware ot die-
honest shopkeepers and salesmen.
The absent-minded man continues to do
things that add to the general merriment of
the world and hla own chagrin , says Harper's
Bazar.
A case In point la that of a Boston father
of a "wool-gathering turn of mind , " who
entered a grocery store with bis baby en one
arm and a kerosene can In bis hand. Set
ting the can down on Uie counter he said ,
gently :
"Sit there a moment , deer ; " and holding
the baby out to the dazed clerk , he said *
"A gallon of kerosene in this , please. "
