A. W. PRESIDENT. ELLIOTT AIM9 TO IN CREASE MEMBERSHIP TO 60,000. Ills FJeetloa Was fopnlar Likely Now That Professional Klriere Will Havt Greater Opportnnltlee TMasatlsfectlnii tteeause af Reduced Value of Prlsee. TheatTairaof tlieLagne of American Wheelmen, guided by new officers, will be conducted on broad and radical line this year. The election of Sterling El liott of MtiRsnrhnaeM to the presidency gives nnlversal satisfaction, and while from some section opposition devolnped against bis election titers is a feeling that hia administration will be active and progressive. A result of the change made in the constitution of the lengne, tha af fair of the organization will be carried on in a more conservative way thir season. Thl fact will b partionlarly notice ajhle in rnoing matters The action of the national assembly in abolishing PRESIDENT ELLIOTT. classes A and B and substituting in their stead purely amateur and profes sional departments, while anything but satisfactory to the old class B racing men, can have bnt one result, and that will be nn increase in the professional ranks. While the assembly had no hesi tancy iu reinstating all the clans B men to (he amatenr ranks the amateur riders feel that thia move wits unjust, and that the league legislators could more properly have transferred the men iu this class to the professional ranks, where it has been admitted they justly belong. Racing men who have been racing for prizes valued at 160, with the priv ilege of traveling to meets wherever they chose and having their expenses paid, will naturally demnr at the changed condition of affuirs and refuse to ride for prizes reduced to $!15. Their riding district is now limited to 100 miles, and they are uuuble to either receive salaries or accept expenses, and, accordingly, the noted rider in cluss B last year will ride for cash prizes this year. The action of the L. A. W. in reduc ing the prize value for amateurs from $50 to $35 has been criticised adversely. The league aims to promote and foster a purely amateur class, and racing fulk maintain that this fact alone should in duce some liberality in dealing with (he amateur class. The racing men who were rated as Anntit nnri third olnns men lust vnnr nrA ' rejoioed over their admission to the amateur ranks, as they now see a chance of prize winning. It seems likely that Charley 11. Mur phy and Eddie Buld will go abroad this year to do some racing early in the sea son. These riders, with other class B men, have taken np bicycle racing as a means of livelihood, and mnst race for cash ; so that unless some professional event with liberal purses materialize this year, it is likely that a big batch of class B riders will go abroad. Tbe man ufacturers who have supported teams in this country in the past are disposed to end racing men abroad to race as pro fessionals, but seem reluctunt to engage them for that purpose in this country. Tbe race meet promoters throughout the country, who have catered to cluss B raoing men and local class A men in the past, will now be compelled, for the purpose of holding tbeir meets, to sub stitute professional events, and they can, instead of offering diamond prizes, as wa tbe custom lust year, award cash to the same value. The change in the racing condition demands a greater recognition of tbe professional rider by the League of American Wheelmen. These rider have received scant attention from tbe league. but under (he existing condition of af fairs professional event will likely at tain the prominence of class ll, and all the league clubs will, as a result, pro mote such events. President Elliott announces that be fore be selects any of bis committees he intends to consult the various chief con aui throughout the ' ouutry in relation to choosing the most desirable men for the position. Mr. Elliott a plan is to secure committeemen who will make their respective departments aa pioml nent aa the racing department. Tbe selection of a chairman of the racing board this year is exciting con siderable interest. Ueorge D. Uideou of Philadelphia, who had charge of the racing interest last year, and who managed the racing affuirs in so satis factory a manner, is considered the best fitted man for tire office, but it ia a well known fuct that Gideon voted and worked to elect A. C. Willison presi dent, and accordingly there is a fueling that President Elliott muy overlook him on this account. Henry Robinson of Massachusetts, a member of the national racing board and cbairmun of his state racing board, supported Elliott, and ia talked of aa a likely ruau to sucoeed Gideon. For the best interest of raoing it is oonoeded on all side that the wibeat se lection for the chairmanship of the rac ing board will be the reappointment of Uia eon. President Elliott la convinced that the numerical strength of the league is not what it should be, considering the great number of whoeliuen in this country at the present time, and he in tends to cse every effort to place the membership at 60,000 before tbe next annual meeting of the national assem bly. The chief consuls thiongboot the dif furent diyiuiau will be advised of Pros- ident Elliott's plan on Hie inbjoct in order fo work accordingly. The conference held between Presi dent Coleman of the cycle board of trade anil President KUintt of lie League of American Wheelmen indi cates (hot the lutter is determined to take immediate steps to seek a eloper co-operntion Ix'tween these two bodies, which lie saj-s he feels will be beneficial to the best interests of cycling. Road improvement, incroascd mem bership and the protection of wheel men's right will be President Elliott' chief objects this yenr. He is planning fo inaugurate a more aggressive policy in every division, so that the work of the organization will be carried on On a more uniform system, that will bear greater results than have ever been ob tained before.

Lease, who achieved mnch political notoriety by her vigorous campaign as candidate for mayor of Wichita, Kan., fell danger ously ill. While on her sickbed she rowed that if she recovered she would signalize ber return to health by preach ing a pure, doctrinal sermon as the lftt public means of expressing ber thank fulness. She fulfilled that tow by de livering the following sermon at the Central Christian church of Wichita, Kan., the other day, and the mnltitude that went to hear ber not only crowdod the building, but extended out into (he middle of the avenue. It was said that everybody was there except tbe husband of the new preacher, who shocked the religiously inclined by opening his store on a main street daring the sermon of bis wife and proceeded to do business as if it were a week day.

After reading the text she spoke aa fol lows: ,r "More and more it la dawning npon the hearts of men that Christianity la not the passive aoceptanceof me e theo logical dogmas, but the living of a life.

Pnst be contracted or expanded, patched or re paired to suit tbe ever varying moods of men, but a doctrine so simple, go wise and so beneficent that all may un derstand. Nowhere in the teachings of Christianity do we find mystery ; no whore uncertainty aa to the meaning of life or perplexity aa to its duty; no where a balunciug between probable or Improhuble, but everywhere directness, clenrnesn, simplicity. God is the Father. All men are his children. The human race is one great family. Love is the one duly, the fulfillment of the law; the one command npon obedience to which bang all the law and the prophets "For long oenturies tbe church stum bled and struggled through strife and error, (hnnderiug forth but half a truth, 'Thou shalt love thy Lord with all thy heart, shalt love the Lord thyiod with all thy mind,' and while this half (rath was preached to the world tbe robes of religion ware stained with blood, the Sabbath air was vexed with hairsplit ting theological controversies, and a yawning sulphurous hell was ever ready, into which an awful avenging God might consign tbe hapless mortals who, failing to appreciate hi Fatherly kind man made oreeds and theological rub bish are being banished to the world's garret, where we sometimes pensively gaze upon them with the same degree of solemnity and reverence that we be stow upon the spinning wheel and dis taff of a colonial grandame. They serve the purpose of humanity In an undevel oped condition, but better things bave taken their place, and the human race is striving toward a higher ideal. The world is to be congratulated that the number of ministers la daily growing who bave the oourage to break away from dogma and doctrine, and who preach Christ and the love which Christ taught. The worl' is to be congratulat ed that that other command to which tbe first is but introductory and prepar atory, the other half of the truth, is be ing presented, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, and with tbe pres entation of tbe whole truth truth and love combined, invincible and forever. "An angry God, an endless bell, tor menting flame and martyrs' groans sink below, down tbe low horizon of tbe past. Strange that we bad not discover ed it sooner, but the whole structure of Christianity ia based on love. Tbe won drous warp and woof of tbe life and teaching of Christ ia woven through and through with that vivid, golden strand. jt jg tne helpful gympathy, the loving kindness of Christ, that endear him to onr hearts and makes hi memory a benediction radiating through 9,060 years of ignorance and wrong). "It is this love, a preached and prao- (iced by tbe Great .Exemplar, that dis tinguishes the religion of Christ from the religion of Buddha, Brahma, Con fucius and every other religion tbe world has ever known. Buddha, said student of religious philosophy, taught woman a great scientific truth. He taught her that the law of life ia death, and in doing so conferred more benefit upon the race tntn Christ could bave dene. "But let us look at the other picture. Go with a broken hearted mother bear ing ber loved dead to the pitying Christ The little form ia rigid ; tbe dimpled hands are still; death haa placed the seal of silence on ltg dewy mouth and given to its waxen face that pallor that death alone can give. Kneeling before him and drawing back the face cloth from her deud she cried, 'O Master, I huve traveled far that thou mightest look upon with gentle gaze and touch with pitying haud my child, long cold in death. ' There was no desire In thut Chribdy heart, so filled with love for humanity, to teach that anguished soul an abstract truth or a scientific fuct. Bending npon her a look of divine com passion, he placed bia band npon the child, sending through that inanimate clay the divine currents of life and love. The babe looked into it mother'! face and smiled. Could there be a mare for cible illustiation of the difference be tween a cold, intellectual, Christies re ligion and tbe warmth and sympathy of the Christian religion? "The dead formalism and cold intel lectuality of Buddhism may do for the morning of lifu, when hope fills the ex ultant heart and no cloud obscure the horizon of youthful vision, but when the heart is burdened with grief, the eyes heavy with uutiied tear and bearing our dead, shall we seek an intellectual Buddha or sympathetic Christ? True, the child moat die again, bat the muih- er's heart is filed to overflowing with unalloyed happiness, and, after all, this pure happiness should be the ultimate aim of all religions, and though the 'law of life be death,' yet Christ has 'rolled (he stone from the grave away' anf opened wide the portals of the sky. Ai followers of Christ we should make the world fairer, happier than we found it. "Nowhere is (his helpful sympathy and love more dearly manifested than in the ftory of the mount of transfigu ration, where his disciples knelt in pros trate awe as 'time light that never was on land or sea' illumines the Holy One. Turning from the radiant scene of the transfiguration, Jesus came down the mountain side and, amid that multitude that waited his coming in the bate and rape filled valley below, he found a poor, devil possessed lad, afflicted from childhood, shrieking and writhing in anguish. An intellectual Buddha would have pasf-ed him coldly by, for the poor wretch was repulsive and horrible to look upon, but Hie pitying heart of the gentle Savionr was moved, and 'Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him np.' "You and I are instruments which God must nse to consummate his plana and carry out his inflexible purpose.

Mr. Willis Will Establish a Bakery la Circle City. Mrs. Willis of Tacoma, the first white woman to attempt a journey through the wildest and most dangerous part of Alaska, left the other day on the steam er Willupa for Circle City, sitrated on Yukon river, jnst inside the arctio rim. She mndo the journey last year and found an admirable opening for a bakery, and returned for the necessary supplies. She takes two sleds, heavily loaded, which will ho luinlod over the snow a thousand miles by dngs. With her own hands she will fell trees and build two canoes in which to cross Lake Linder- niau ami go down two rivers to Circle City. River navigation is exceedingly dangerous, and in several places it is necessary to curry the canoes around high waterfalls. Speuking of the venture she find : "Yes, it is quite an undertaking, but there is no real danger. Hundreds of weak men successfully accomplished the same journey. All it requires is pluck, energy uud plenty of nerve. Dogs afford me umple protection from wild animals. I see no reason why a woman should not brave the perils of a short journey like this to make a stake. "My husband is an invalid, and the oppoitunity for the establishment of a bukery at Circle City is good. Any hon est, persevering woman can engage in a profitable and respectable business there and return in a few years with thousands of dollars." SENATOrt QUAY, Walter Wellman Sava He Is a Moch Mia. understood Man. Senator Qnay is in some respects a very much misunderstood man. The as saults of the party press have led many people to look upon him aa a slippery enstomer, aa a man of tricks and wiles, as one whose standard of honor is not very high and whoeo general tone is that of the ward politician. Nothing could bo further from the truth. While it is true that Mr. Quay is per haps the shrewdest and most resourceful politician in the country, he command to an extraordinary extent the confidence and affection of all who come in contact with hiin, either in politics or business. His word is regarded as good aa hia bond. He always stands by his friends. Tli ore is no sacrifice too great for him to muke for them. lie is a delightful com panion, too generous for hia own good, modest and simple always. Though not an orator, he is oue of the closest students of pnblio questions we have iu congress. He ia passionately fond of literature. A gentleman who called on him the other night found him reading a history of the French revolu tion. It is known to hia friend that be haa a large purt of all the standard poet ry committed to memory. A year ago be sot out to translate Horace. Mr. Quay rarely goes into society, or even attends dinner parties. He spend all bia spare time in his library. Walter Wellman in Chicago Times-Herald.

It la Propoeed to Erect a Monnnoeat on ar Hear the Spot. Representative Skinner of North Car olina has introduced a measure in the house which ia of sentimental and his toricul interest even beyond tbe borders of the United States. It ia a bill to pro vide for the commemoration of the land ing of the first British American colony on Rounoke island. N. C. , on or about July 4, 1584.

" ram FV.F'V r I fv 1 LIME AND GYPSUM. Whea Lime Proves Beneflolnl Benefits Derlvrd From Gypsum How to Apply, "Which 1 the better for ordinary land, lime or plaster, and will lime and plaster do better a top dressing or when plowed nnder? How much of either should be used per sere?" Here are queries of general interest. They are an swered a follow by Country Gentle man: Lime is likely to prove most benefi cial if there is an abundanoe of vegeta ble matter (humus) in the soil, as it tends not only to make available tha nitrogenous compounds, but tbe miner al constituents as well, and It nearly always Improves the physical condition or texture of the land. Twenty to 40 bushels of lime per aore are a fairly lib eral dressing, though 100 bushels would do no barm, but would probably exceed the most profitable limit of application. Gypsnm (land plaster) inoreases tbe power of the soil to absorb ammonia from the air, but tbe air contain so lit tle ammonia that the beneficial effect of the plaster in this direotion i very mall. Tbe benefits derived from an ap plication of gypsum, if fairly pure and finely ground, are sometime very re markable. It acta on the double silica tee that Is, breaks tbem down and liber ate potash. Clovers are always benefit ed by available potash; benoe even a light application of gypsum on clover land frequently produce marked re sult. But one to two bushel per acre are applied at a time, because it re quire relatively large quantities of wa ter to dissolve the gypsum; go it 1 good economy to use a light dressing yearly, a the chance are that if a large quantity 1 used it will fail to produce beneficial result for want of moisture to dissolve It. Gypsum is best sown broadcast in early spring on clover and meadow land, or it may be mixed with an equal quan tity of ashe or commercial fertilizers and distributed in the hill or drill and mixed with the soil where corn, pota toes and like crops are to be planted, or it may be scattered around the hills, after the plants are well throngh the ground, at the rate of two or three table spoonfuls to the hill. Maple Sirnp and gngar. In a bulletin from the Now Hamp shire station it is stated that experi ments in letting sap stand for soveral days before boiling, filtering sap, and rapid and slow evaporation had no de cisive effect on the composition of the sirup. The simps from soft maples were somewhat inferior to those from rock maple both in color and flavor. Delay in boiling sap did not seem to affect the color of the sirup, but injured its flavor. Sap that was kept five days and then boiled gave one of (he lightest colored sample produced. The rapidity of boiling had little influence on the color, samples of sirup from sap that we allowed to slowly simmer away be ing as light colored aa those from simi lar saps boiled rapidly. The lightest colored samples were produced by boiling a quantily of gap until finished, without addition of fresh sap. One sample produced by boiling about two quarts of sap in a large glass beaker until it waa thick sirup, with out addition of gap and without skim ming, had little more color than the sap from which it had been made. Thia sap was from covered bncketg and was thoroughly strained through cloth before boiling. Sap filtered through quarts sand produced a sirup in no way supe rior to tbe preceding, while one filtered through boneblack lost almost entirely the characteristic maple flavor. Sap mixed with rainwater gave a sirup ob jectionably dark colored. Dark sugars contained less saccharose and more re ducing sugars than light sugar and bad a much lower purity coefficient Experiments during three years in tapping at depths of from i to 6 inch es indicated that tbe flow of sap is large ly dependent upon the depth of tbe tap ping, the deeper the bole the greater the flow, and that tbe theory that all or nearly all the sap oome from tbe outer wood is erroneous. The result of com parative testa of tapping tbe north and south sides of trees favor tbe latter. A single hole yielded slightly more sap than two boles close together. Hi Tebaeaa Bead Bed. The tead bed for tobacco should be lo cated so that the cold winds of early spring and summer cannot touch tbe plants, and with a sunny, southerly ex posure. Tbey need warmth and sun shine, and too much of these cannot be given in onr northern latitude. Tbe eed bed abould be enriched with relia ble brand of fertilizers or by well rotted manure. Coarse barnyard ma nure will not da It must be thorough ly composted to give good results. Good seeds of good varieties must be secured at ny cost It will not pay to experi ment with any inferior sort, for at the best northern tobacco is none too good. The seeds are very small, a heaping tea spoonful of them being enough to cover each square rod of laud, and consequent ly the bed must be rolled after they are own. They shon'd be aown very care fully so thut they will be evenly distrib uted over the lund. American Cultiva tor. Hoaklng Cora by Thrashing. A New York correspondent of Coun try Gentleman who had 700 bushels of dry corn to husk engaged a man who own an ordinary grain separator and engine to do the work. This did it to perfection, with the exception of crack ing the corn slightly ; but that is no ob jection if you wish to feed it It may seem that it requires considerable help to execute the work, though eight men are sufficient to thrash that quantity in a day. But if you consider that at this operation you are husking, shelling, get ting corn in barn, also getting, fodder in barn and all shredded, which ia better than cutting it, n cattle will eat it all np, you will nut fail to see a saving of labor and time also. It bus thrashed per fectly clean and hag proved satisfactory. Something of a Curia, The man who baa not invented some kind of an attachment for a bicycle this year is beginning to feel lonesome.
