Women on Wh c e 1.
Some entirely gratnitions attacks
have been made of lato by the Wom
an's Rescue League upon the bicycle
and the women who ose it. The
bicycle has been charged with being
injurious to health and dangerous
to moral?, and the wheelwomen are
accused of offending against grace,
morality and decency. Bicyclists
have not cared to enter upon a reply
to, or refutation of, such silly
charges, but have gone on wheeling
and getting all the enjoyment possi
ble out. of the exercise, together
with good health, rosy cheeks, and
symmetry of figure. If the Woman's
Iiescae League had not done some
really noble work in other directions
one might suppose that this attack,
npon wheels and wheelwomen was
prompted by malice or envy. As
this, however, precluded, it must be
ascribed to positive ignorance of the
real facts in the case.
As regards the effect of bicycling
upon women's health, nine physi
cians of every ten perhaps a larger
proportion even will testify that
where one woman may experience
injorieus results, fifty are benefited
by tho exercise. Their muscular sys
tem becomes developed, nervousness
disappears, many other ailments
the result of tight lacing, long and
heavy skirts dragging down from
the hips, and tight shoes vanish
entirely and the respiratory organs
are invigorated immensely. Wheel
ing strengthens a woman's spine and
broadens the chest, and Btooping
shoulders are unknown among those
that indulge in the practice of it. It
makes women more cheerful, f or j
they can enjoy outings in the woods
along forest streams and in cool
country lanes without the fatigt.e
that attends long walks. To those
who are engaged in business and
whose residence is at some distance
from the place where they work, the
wheel is an inestimable convenience
To say that the wheel has a de
moralizing influence is to insult
American womanhood. Wives wheel
with their husbands: daughters with
their fathers: sisters with their
brothers or some other fellow's
brother, for that matter. Who will
dare to say that there is anything
unbecoming in this, or like to be
hurtful to the morals of matron or
maid? In this, as in many another
case, the motto applies: " "Iloni Boit

ME WAS A GENTLEMAN.
How JUn Handera Repeated of II U Tow
Novr to Be Taken Alive.
When the sheriff went over from
Golden Hill to Lucky Valley after Jim
Sanders, who was wanted for shooting
Dan Williams in a quarrel oyer a game
of cards, ho didn't even take a gun
along. He fownd his man in a saloon
and asked him to step up and take a
drink. Jim complied, but kept a hand
on his gun. When they had drunk, they
Ls&t down, and the sheriff told three or
four funny stones. By and by tho pue
aled Jim broke out with :
"See here, Jpe, did you come over aft
er me?"
"Waal, I thought you might want to
jog along bock with me, ' ' was the reply.
"Not much. I'll never be taken
alive,"
"Then that settles it Let's hev an
other drink."
They drank again, and the official
told a very funny story about a tender
foot's experience in Golden City. Jim
laughed as loudly as the others, but
presently grew serious and said :
"Say, Joe, you can't take rue alive."
"Waal, we won't worry about that,
Jim, " was the reply. "Let's hev anoth
er nip and then a game of cards. "
The game lasted until the sheriff had
lost about $20. Then he ordered drinks
and sang a song. When the song was
finished, he said to Sanders:
"Jim, hevn't I made things pleasant
fur you today?"
"Yon hev, Joe, and no mistake."
"Treated you like a gentleman
hevn't I?"
"You certainly hev. "
I '"That's my way of doin things.
Now I want you to treat me like a gen
tleman. Go back to Golden City with
me?"
"But I shot Dan Williams over thar. "
"Of course you did. "
"And they want to hang me. "
"Of course they do, but that's noth
in to me. I didn't make the laws. I
was sent out arter you, and I want to
take yon back. I oould hev sneaked in
and got the drop on you, but I knowed
'twould hurt your prida Hevn't I bin
tender with you, Jim?'
"You hev, Joe; but I don't want to
be hung. "
"I s'poee not, but see how nice I've
used you. Would any other sheriff hev
done it?" -
."No, I reckon not"
- "Of eoOTse not,- aftd If you are hung
won't I boss the job and make it as easy
as possible? Jnt como right along to

"Would it be a great favor to you?"
"It would, and it would show mo
that you was a gentleman to boot. I'm
a gentleman myself, and I kin appre
ciate a gentleman."
"Waal, Joe," said Jim, after a mo
ment's thought, "I did say I wouldn't
go, and I did think I didn't want to be
hung, but to obleege you and to show
these critters that I know what good
planners is I'll po along with you."

NAMES OF RACE HORSES.
a Record of TUfui I Kept, and No Title
May Be Used Twice.
The Jockey club is doing good vrork
in compelling owners to name their
colts and fillies bt fore a certain date
each year, ami it is now an impossibili
ty to run or race a horse on auy of the
Jockey club tracks that has not been
named. A record of the names is kept,
and no owner will in future, within a
prescribed time, be permitted to take a
name which lias already been used.
This will help the compilers of the stud
book of the future immensely and en
able them to keep their works in much
better shape and with fewer errors. Up
to the present season it was not an un
common occurrence to find half a dozen
horses in the course of a single day's
racing on the card without a name.
They were known as the Lightning
gelding, colt or filly, the name being
taken from the dam. It was simply a
matter of gross carelessness on the part
of the owner, who did not take the time
to select a name.
A bureau of nomenclature has been
suggested from time to time, and tho
idea is a good one. Those who are not
competent to select suitable names for
their horses could turn in the pedigrees
of their horses, and a man of ability
could select something appropriate for
them. One veteran of tho turf said some
years ago :
"If I ever raced horses again, I would
name Liy horses after tho birds of tho
air the eagle, the swallow, the oriole,
tho hawk, the kite, the teal, the mal
lard and so on and the public could
toll in a moment to whom the horso
belonged. " Exchange.
Athlete of the Past and Present.
Wo do not know with any scientific
accuracy what the Greek athletes actu
ally did, what weights they hurled, at
what pace they ran, how high they
leaped or what were the heights,
weights or ages of those who sought
I the.wrcaths. There are some lies, we
I believe, recorded, bnt they are too clear
i ly lies. Nobody, for instance, ever
jumped forward 00 feet any more than
he jumped 500 feet We know of some
feats of endurance which tho athletes
performed as soldiers. We know that
they were lithe and slight and well
formed, and wc know that they thought
each other physically matchless among
mankind, and that is nearly all that we
do know.
It is extremely probable that if the
old victors in the games could be made
to live again for a day we should find
that the English and American athletes
beat them with a certain case, for north
erners are stronger than southerners
and equally lithe and well trained. The
Greeks may have had more endurance,
as some savages have still and Japa
nese coolies, but even that is doubtful,
for the Greeks thought swimming across
the Hellespont a wonderful feat, and an
Englishman, Captain Webb, performed
one at least 13 times as noteworthy
without dangerous exhaustion. He
swam from Dover to Calais. Exchange.
Girls Who Play Polo.
Of all watering places in America, of
all places in tho world, Seabright, N.
J. , so far as is known, is the only one
that possesses girls who play polo. The
polo playing girls practice in private.
They have a field, with the grass cut
close. They have active ponies, with
carefully bandaged legs, and, while
eomo may be as "mallet shy" as- the
girls themselves, the game will soon be
in full blast. The girls ride their
ponies on sidesaddles and play with
both left and right hand with muoh
that suggests croquet in their quiet de
liberation. Occasionally they all rush
at the ball together, and the air is full
of large mallets and small squeaks. It
is a good game, but just a trirle danger

Princeton's Team Nest Year.
Princeton will have a remarkably
strong athletic team next year. Kilpat

and will wear Princeton colors next year.
It was their intention to go to New

cided to enter Princeton. In addition to
theso star athletes Princeton will also
have Hippie, the scholastic crack half
miler; Moore, the holder of the 100
yard scholastic record; Washburn, a
winner in the last interscholastic games,
and' Bedford, Barnard school's crack
miler. These men will prove a wonder

Presidential Electors.
It will save confusion in the mind of
anpolitical people to remember that
lie delegates to each presidential nomi
nating convention number slightly more
than twice as many rrn as there are
presidential electors in the whole coun
try. Each state has exactly th same
number of presidential electors as it has
members of congress, counting in its
representatives and senators. Thrro are
in congress at this time altogether U57
representatives and i0 senators. There
will therefore be 447 presidential elect
ors to le chosen in November.
Multiplying 447 by 2, we get 894,
which is regularly the number of dele
gates to a presidential convention. But
it is the custom of the political parties
to admit to tho floor of the convention
delegates from District. of Columbia
and from the territories. This makes
the number of delegates more than 900.
There were 930 delegates-in tho Demo
cratic convention. For each regular
delegate a substitute or alternate is also
chosen, and ho goes along, too, and sits
on the floor of the convention, ready to
voce in case 01 tno aDsence 01 tne regu
lar delegate.
In a division of the electoral vote on
the gold and silver question the north
Atlantic states, comprising all New
England and New York, Pennsylvania
and Delaware, may be counted. solid for
gold. These states have 111 electoral
votes. The south has 149 electoral votes.
The vote of two or three of tliese is al
ternately claimed for gold and for sil
ver. The rest are considered to be dead
sure for the wliite metal. Oregon,
Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Colo
rado, Nevada, Nebraska aoid Kansas,
with 41 electorahvotes, have been count
ed for the silver column, though it is
not safe to reckon on all of them for
certain.
The states of California, "Washington
and tho two Dakotas, with 20 electoral
votes, are represented at present in con
gress by Republicans, except in the case
of tho Fourth California distract, which
sent a Democrat. Of the 21 representa
tives from Ohio, 2 are Democrats, tho
rest Republicans. The hottest. fighting
ground in the coming presidential elec
tion will probably be in the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Kansas, with 87 electoral
votes. Altogether there will be more
politics to the square inch from this
time on in tho United States than there
has been since the war.
Among the heroes of the Cuban revo
lution tho nrnne of Captain J. H. Wi-
borg of tho filibustering ship Horsa will
live in song. and story. Cubans must not
forget him. The Horsa was known as a
filibustering vessel and was watched ac
cordingly by both Spanish and Ameri
can authorities. On complaint of the
Spanish consul at Philadelphia, Dr.
Jose Congosto, last March, the United
States government arrested Captain
Wiborg and his first and second mate
on the charge of carrying armed men to
Cuba to fight Spain. After a trial and a
retrial the fearless captain was finally
sentenced to spend 10 months in jail
and pay a fine of 300. The cheerful air
with which ho accepted his sentence
and walked within the prison doors that
closed behind him, shutting him off
from mankind for a year and four
months, showed that Captain Wiborg
was conscious he had done nothing to
bo ashamed of, something to glory in,
rather. And that is tho view a majority
of the American people take of it.
An enterprising young reporter who
strives to be witty represents one of
Ben Tillman's South Carolina henchmen

ever say, "How be ye?" The South Car

Silverites can make the trade in their
