THE BICYCLE RACE.
All Former Records Broken—“idler
in the Lead.
Digging for nuggets in the cheer-
less Klondike may be a pretty hard
job, but it‘strikes the average specta-
tor in Madison Square Garden that it
is a more perilous undertaking to
chase- the elusive dollar around the
board-floor track on which more than
two dozen cyclists ai‘e striving for
tempting prize money and interna-
tional six-day wheeling honors.
Up to date every indication points to
this race as being the most wonder-
ful in the history of long—distance con—
tests—wonderful because records are
falling like leaves from a chestnut tree
in early \Autumn. The pace has been
a. killing one, which accounts for half
a dozen or more riders throwing up
the sponge and crying “Enough!” Of
these may be mentioned Titus, the
well-known .local rider; Schoch. the
veteran; Albert, Cartwright, Foster,
Busteed, Backe and Fallon.
But the men remaining in the race
are in good condition, and the chances
are that the most of them will remain
so to the end. Racing sharps pl-edi
that more will remain in to the c: :2
than in any previous contest last: :5:
six days.
Frank Waller is a. favorite with tint-
crowd. Every time he makes anytlm.
like a. fast move the spectators :‘ -
plaud enthusiastically.
Six-day records are going by .1172
board every minute of the race, and.
barring accidents, 3. new mileage for
142 hours will be recorded when the
gong sounds the signal for the men 1.,
leave the track on Saturday night.
Besides W'aller, the men beginning to
shine in the contest are Gaston, I'll-
vierre, Miller, Stephane, Schinneer.
Moore, Reading and Rice. It is true
that the others are close up, but they
do not seem to push along with the
some freedom that characterizes the
movements of the leaders. '

.IENCETTA DROVE‘HIM To DEATH
Kauai-(1's Awful Secret Exposed bi
His Relentless Enemy.
New York, Dec." 7.—Many readers of
newspapers will doubtless remember
‘ “Having read the following letter, found
won the body of Edward L. Burnett.
formerly of Elmira, who committed
vilicille by drowning himself in Lab":
.‘anandaigua, Sept. 26 last:
-.,. wnonl it may concern: Charles Hazard.

“ years ago. The vendetta. is still open. '.
“mire to drive Hazard to the end, and I have
an my word. They are dead, and I follow——
nto hell. if need be.
That, there was some terrible secret
hidden in the words written just be-
fore Burnett sought and found his
leath was apparent. Now the'secret
3 out.
Charles Hazard, former proprietor
1nd editor of the Elmira Gazette and
ted suicide in the Hudson River near
Fishkill Landing, Sept. 23, two days
nefore Burnett drowned himself in
Lake Canandaigua. As Burnett's 1et~
ter told, the aged editor had been
‘driven to his end.” Burnett pos~
:essed a secret of Hazard’s early man-
rlood and used it to hound Hazard to
'lcspair.
In 1868 Hazard, then a man of 2-1
rears, acquired a half interest in the
Elmira. Gazette. Shortly afterward
the young man, who was engaged to
09 married to a. beautiful girl, met a
young woman, the daughter of a.
Blacksmith ~of Elmira.
Orrie Ersley, the blacksmith’s daugly
:er, accused Hazard of being the
’ather of her child. Hazard feared the
‘lisgrace and in despair.sought George
Hall, a friend, and begged him to help
’lim. Hall went to the girl and ar-
ranged with her so that he himself
would accept the' child’s paternity.
‘Iazard’s fiancee broke off the. engage.
nent. ' '
placed in a foundllng society and
later adopted by the widow of a man
who had been Postmaster—General of
the United States. The baby girl
"grew up and finally married a hand-
some cowboy against the wishes of the
lady \vho had adopted her. Orrie Ers—
iey married a carpenter and became
:he mother of eight children. Hazard.
too, married and had a daughter, a
aeautiful girl, who was a great belle
n Elmira.
In 1878, ten years after the entangle-
‘nent with Orrie Ersley, Hazard com»
oelled Edward L. Burnett, a young
school teacher of Elmira, to marry a
servant girl he had ruined. 'She had
seen employed in the family of A. De.
Witt. ~ _
,Hazard and De Witt forced young
Burnett to marry the girl, but the day
after the marriage Burnett left his
wife. Then Hazard attacked young
Burnett in the columns of the Elmira
Eazette and had him arrested for ca
iertion. Hazard’s friend, Recorder
Platt, sent Burnett to prison for Six
nonths.
Burnett swore then he would be re
venged upon Hazard, De Witt and
Platt if it took a lifetime. Burnett dls-
2overed the secret of I-Iazard’s rela~
.ions with Orrie Ersley and threatened
exposure. HaZard wrote to his old
)ld friend Hall as follows:
Some one who hates me and has an old .Yf‘n:
"eauce to win has found out the story whim 1
.hought was known only to you and to me. I
“ad hoped it was among the things that were
orgotten. Have you ever talked? I cannot
lelieve this, because you were always loyal.
Write me and relieve my heart of its wrong.
)estroy this letter.
No answer came, and Hazard three
lays later drowned himself. Two days
lfter that Burnett’s body was found in
Lake Canandaigua.
VOORHEES MAY DECLINE.
Succession to Gov. Grlggs Means
Ineligibility for Nomination.
Trenton, N. J., Dec. 7.——Until the of—
ficial announcement came from Wash-
‘ngton that it was a. fact, the politi-
2iaus did not believe that Gov. Griggs
was selected to succeed Attorney—Gen-
-t was so there was a. flutter greater
than when the first rumor of the selec-
lion reached the State House.
Up to the time of the announcement
of Gov. Griggs’ selection for the At-
torney-Generalship it was pretty cer-
tain that Senator Foster M. Voorhees
of Union would be the next presiding
officer of the Senate. Since then there
has arisen a disposition in some quar-
ters to prevent. the selection of the
Union Senator. The names most prom-
'nently mentioned by those who think
it would be well to select some other
rnan are Senator Skirm of Mercer and
Senator Ketcham of Essex. ThoSe Who
will oppose Mr. Voorhees will prob-
ably have to cast their lot with the
Mercer Senator, for Mr. Ketcham will
probably decline to run. ' He was men—
tioned for the position months ago,
and at that time declared he would
not accept and that he favored Voor-
hees. _
Appointment Generally Conceded.
Washington, Dec. 7.—-The appoint.
lS Attorney—General to succeed Attor-
ley-General McKenna, of California,
is generally conceded. The members
if the New Jersey delegation in Con‘
gress are naturally pleased because of
:he President’s selection. Gov. Griggs,
ihey say, will make a. first-rate Attor-
iey-General, being a. lawyer of much
ability.
There is still talk of opposition to
:he appointment of Mr. McKenna as
Supreme Court Justice, but it is not
believed that action on his prospec-
[live nomination will be delayed for
my great length of time. It is proba-
i ole the nomination will go to the Sen-
nte this week, but the nomination of
30v. Griggs will probably be delayed
mtil after the confirmation of Mr. Mc-
Kenna.

ARMOUR TRIED To TlPA B'ARON. I
And Really found one Person in Europe
i Who Refused to Accept It.
i P. D. Armour generally spends his‘
isummer vacation at Carlsbad, Ger-
many. Baron Kis’sengen, one ‘of the
richest noblemen in Germany and a
great lover “ of horses, was at .. the
springs at the time of the Chicago
millionaire’s visit one summer. Near
Carlsbad, the baron kept half a hun-
dred magnificent horses. Mr. Armour,
says the New York Herald, With an
American friend, went out to visit’the
stable. A custodian to whom they ap-
plied granted permission. '
“Can you, give us some one to show '
the horses??? asked Mr. Armour. The
custodian looked about. Near one of
the stalls stood a plain-looking man,
and the custodian said: “I think he
will show you the horses.” '
The plain-looking man did show
them, and did it ”Well. He knew the
horses byiname, their pedigrees, and
he told all about them. It happened
that Mr. Armour always carries in his
coat pocket when ianurope a number
of silver coins, which he distributes
among people who are good to him. So
when it was all over he fished out
about a half pint of coins and tendered
them to the plain-looking man. The
latter, with an amused sort of smile,
declined, but waved the American to
the stable boys, as people who com-
monly made small objections to such
i favors.
“I am Baron Kissengen,” said the
plain-looking man simply, but gra-
ciously. “I am glad to know you,”
said Armour. “Not only because you
have the finest lot of horses I have
seen in the country, but because you
are the first person I have found in‘
this country who has refused to take a.
tip.”

HE MET HIS WATERLOO.
“Billy” Pinkerton Found a Denver Pick-
pocket too Slick for Him.
William Pinkerton, whom the world
known as “Billy” and has supposed the
real modern pVidocq, has fallen from
his pedestal. The fall was occasioned
,by an unknown pickpocket ‘who, in
Denver, the other day relieved Mr.
Pinkerton’s inside coat pocket of $250.
' Mr. Pinkerton’s purpose in going to
Denver was to advise the local police
. how to 'best protect people from pick-
, pockets during a carnival that was in
.progress. The day following his ar-
l rival there was a parade: and Mr. Pin-
'\ kerton undertook the task of giving an
object lesson of his method of toiling
pickpocket designs. ‘
He moved about among‘ the people
who lined the streets and kept a ~.
sharp outlook for the light fingered
folk who take the chance that in steal- r
ing another’s purse they steal lrash.
Just how it happened, no one, not even
Mr. Pinkerton, knows, but when the
Chicago detective king reached his ho-
tel he found himself minus the $250
he began to give his object lesson.
This is the first time, so far as crim-
inal records show, that a. man who has
won international reputation as a
thief catcher was ever made the victim'
of a. thief when he was looking for
just such a criminal. ‘ Mr. Pinkerton
gave no further lessons to the Denver
police, but returned to Chicago, where
' the thieves know and fear him.
MANUFACTURE OF HAIR PINS.
m“. Greazest Comte—milled in Putting
on the Enalnel.
For ages the English and French
controlled the manufacture of hair
pins, and it is only within the last
twenty years that the goods have been
produced in other countries to any ex-
tent. The machinery used is of a deli-
cate and intricate character, as the
price at which the pins are sold neces-
sitates the cheapest and most rapid
process, which can only be secured by
mtomatic machines. The wire is made
expressly for the purpose and put up
in large coils, which are placed in a
clamp and so carried to the machine
while being straightened. This ma-
:hine cuts, bends, and by a delicate in-
atantaneous process sharpens the point.
Running at full speed it will turn out
120 hair pins eyery “minute. Toecon-
omize it is necessary to keep the en-
gine going day and night. The dif-
ficult part of the work is in the enamel-
lng, which is done by dipping the pins
in a preparation and baking in an
aven. It ishere that the most constant
and careful attention is required, as the
pins must be absolutely smooth and the
enamel have a 'p'erfect polish. .The
slightest particle of dust causes im-
perfections and roughness—Pearson’s

ROSA BONHEUR’S ADMIRERS.

The ban camaraderie which exists
