The men were accused of a race at St. Loui. on August 17 last, so as to allaw fahanne to win the event of th day.

the mile open, at his home. The proptrainnie did not come out rlirht. Murphy winnlnjr the race. This caused a row in the dressln-room. Murphy belnjr accused of falling to keep tils word, and in the row the whole story came out.

L. V. Robert, a member of the Racing IUard, reported the facts, as he learned them, and the three riders were temporarily susjended. They all vehemently asserted their innocence, and were given permits to ride pending Investigation; If found guilty they were to forfeit all prizes won- during 'the time of their conditional suspension. Cabanne worked up a good deal of sympathy, and finally succeeded In having Robert forced out of his position as sporting editor of St.

Louis paper. The rase was decided once in favor of the rider. rut new evidence came up. and It was reopened in October. The final division, suspending the three for life, was made public Thursday last.

Cabanne is well known In this ciiy, and has many friends. In so-cley. He is a Fplendid all-around ath-lee, and came to Louisville for the first time about four years asro to represent the Pastime Athletic Club, of St. Louis, tn rhe Louisville Athletic Club's annual tournament. He won every event he entered in, and was consequently lionized.

He, with Titus' and Murphy, rode at the ra at Fountain Kerry track last May. Cabanne ft-els the disKruce his punishment- keenly, and threatens to sue the League of American Wheelmen for heavy damages. This would not be a wise actitn on his part. The League has made itself responsible for racing, and rt must have stringent rules to guarantee to the public that the sport ts clean. If Cabanne sues, other matters In Ills racli.g career may be brought out that he miKht not like to have known.

Cabanne and Titus were members of the Kpalding racing team. Murphy was a member of the umber team. It Is rumored that llormally JetTerj will next year have a racing team on the track, and that Tvm Kck will have itiarga of the men. Three yeara sgo. a.

He has been srttlng up for an hour or iro tvtry day since Wednesday. His father visited htm last Sunday. Friday and Saturday were wheelmen's days at ttie Atlanta Exposition. Bicycle rider from all over Che Unwed States were present. A feature of the celebration was a set for 3.000 at the Kimball House, all wheelman being welcome.

Tbis banquet was provided; by Mr. R. Lindsay Coleman. President of the Western Wheel Works. Mr.

Coleman chartered two special cars, one from Near York, take specially invrted guests from those cities to the feast. From this city, Owen Kimble. J. C. and W.

R. Mitchell. George Oavlsworti, E. J. Dauberc.

Prince Wells, and Ed. F. Diehman. bicycle editor of the Times, were presen-t. Mr.

JaquLsh. of Illinois, who bobbed up at the L. A. W. Assembly at New York last February with an "equal rights" amendment, intending to wipe out the color-line, will be on hand next February with amendments that will prove much more popular.

He wants bicycle racing men divided into two classes amateurs and professionals and wants the League to have absolute control of all racing men. The amendments may be little too radical to suit some of the delegates, but they should be adopted just the same. As a striking instance of the faith of leading manufacturers In the future of the bicycle Industry, the fact may be cWed that the Pope Manufacturing Company, of Hartford. have placed one order for 1.200 tois of the finest steel, a total of 2.400,000 pounds, to be used exclusively for drop forgtngs In 1S3. When it Is considered that fully 2.000.000 of this expensive material goes Into the waste heap in the form of borings, some Idea of the cost of material required for high grade frame connections, may be obtained.

If steel stampings were used no waste wouM be perceptible, but drop forgings prove cheaper in the end when bicycles are fully guaranteed. John S. Johnson will probably go North or East when his Nashville engagement is over, and will, after a couple of weeks' rest, get in condition for skating. Johnson holds nearly all the world's records on the Ice. from 100 yards (:08 3-5) to ten miles (31:11 l-o).

His mile record for a public performance on skates, standing start. Is 2:42 3-5. Jack Prince's Coliseum at Nashville opened last Monday night under very unfavorable circumstances, but txave improved since then. A terrific storm prevailed on the afternoon and evening oc the opening day. cutting the attendance.

The next day was raw and cold. Since then, however, rhere has been an Improvement, and Thursday and Friday nights large crowds were present. The track Is eight laps to the mile, and Is the fastest indoor track In the world. It Is dish-shaped, and is banked seven feet in twenty all the way around. Mr.

A. O. Blake, of Kingman Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis, was in the cfty the past week. He predicts the greatest season ever known in bicycling for 1S.

"The bicycle." says Mr. Blake, "will become a standard article of commerce. Just like the buggy, the wagon and Che plow. It will be bandied by carriage and hardware dealers. I fear -the days of' the exclusive bicycle agency are numbered." Samples) of IS 96 models of the leadnvg wheels will be eeea in this city in few days.

Allison Co. are daily expecting samples of next season's goods. They have received specifications, and they show only slight changes in the "j6 Columbia. There is a slight dressing down of the forging forming the handlebar binding lug, and the exterior lines of the head bearing cups are less given to curves than in former years. The tubing throughout ts the same size and gauge; the barrel hubs will be continued, and the fatures of the cranks, shafts and hanger are the same as used this year, with rhe exception of the cups, which are made a trifle heavier and decreased in diameter so that the noise that came from this part of the machine will be entirely eliminated.

Really the daily papers are neglecting their Having discovered and exploited the bicycle face in the abstract, they should have done so In detail. To aid them in their laudable effort to advance and popularise cycling, the Referee gives a few of the afflictions cycling brings to those who follow It: The bicycle hair is one peculiar result.

In this case the hair, although smoothly brushed, when the rider leaves the house. Is so badly rumpled on his return as to require rebrushlng. In other case the hair, where the rider was pat seventy, has fallen out and een defied the best restoratives in the market. One of the Worst features is the bicycle ear. Owing to the rapidity with which many riders wheel through the country, the force of the wind against which they may be riding Is so Increased that their ears are forced against the sides of their heads and grow abnormally close.

This effect Is especially noticeable where riders scorch. The bicycle nose Is also an undesirable result of riding. Through the pressure ot the wind. Into which the riders are facing, the end of the nose Is foiwd Inward and downward, and through thla rearrangement of the nasal organ a disease known as the bicycle catarrh Is generated. For this catarrh there is no cure.

The bicycle neck Is perhaps the most deplorable efTect of constant riding. Through the attrition caused by rapid passage through the air, the neck Is worn ofT until finally the Jugular vein, being left without protection, explodes with a loud report, like that of a punctured tire, and (he victim falls to the ground and bleeds to death. A case of this kind occurred recently, but through the activity and Influence of the dealers In bicycles was kept out of the newspapers. The bicycle foot, for instance. Is peculiar to women and most common among young women.

This foot, usually the left, grows abnormally large and heavy, and the ankle-joint and shin-bone swell, the leg thereby growing- Into an inartistic uniformity of size. In a social sense the bicycle foot la the moat mortifying i of the many diseases connected with the wheel, although it is usually unaccompanied by pain. The foregoing are but a few of cycling's deformities the dally press is overlooking, and the daily press will be false to its record if further neglects such terrible results of riding a bicycle aa tha ones above noted. whet you Shoes $3.50 otn of these.

Ind. How many people have died from the effects of intemperance? FRANK BILL. The professional "temperance lecturers" are in the habit of quoting figures under head, but such statistics are of necessity based rather upon imagination than upon accurate research, and are, therefore, not worth remembering or recording. By "intemperance" these advocates, of course, mean easessivs indulgence in alcoholic stimulants, to the exclusion of ail the other forms of immoderate and unnatural Indulgence, such as the tea mania and the coffee mania. Any candid physician will tell you that when a man dies of disease it is never and seldom even possible, to trace his disease 'to ita cause.

It is very rarely, too. that a d.sease which ends fatally has but bna cause. Thousands uf victims, for example, have succumbed to ysl.u fever becausa their habitual over-indulgnce In spirituous drinks had rendered t'helr systems irresponsive to the act.on of champagne, which is the sovere.gn specific at one crisis of the disease. Others, again, sink beyond recovery in cases of typhoid because the palate, morbidly affected by alcohol, revolts at the taste of milk, which Is the only practical form of nourishment, it would be wrung to utii'ibuw death In cases like these to alcoholic Intemperance. As for cases where death is the result of actual alcoholic poisoning, the.r number is so small that this is not included among the "principal causes" stated in the census report, and the estimates vary with the individual estimator's feelings about total abstinence.

Paduoah. Ky. I note that your Br.tannlca says that S. F. Smith, who wrote "America." also wrote "Hock of Ageu," My impression was that the latter hymn was wr.tten by Augustus Montague Toplady.

F. Smith published In 1866 a collection pf sacred songs to whicli he gave the title "Rock of Ages." Toplady's work was one hymn beginningi "Rock of Ages, cleft for me. Let me hide myself in Thee." Smith borrowed the words and used them as the title of a whole collection. Gladstone is said to have amused himself one eveatag, during a dull debate In the House of Commons, by turning this Justly famous KngUsh hymn into Greek verse. Mir.ba, Ky.

The candidate who wins is generally easy to find for some days after the election, until he 1 earns the official disadvantages of being accessible to bis friends who want jobs.

Please Inform me of something that I could put Into a barrel of cider to make it work at this season of the year. C. R. R. It Is very strange that your cider will not work.

But the probabilities are that there is something wrong with your cider. Henryville, ind.

Please tell me how stones are polished and if the work can be done at home. D. O. It would take a long article to tell you how to polish stones, as the processes are long and various. For precious stones for Jewelry diamond dust has hitherto been used, but since the manufacture of carborundum, which Is practically aa artificial form of diamond, this substance has begun to be substituted, being found harder and more effective than the natural stone.
