With the Wheelmen. _
Interesting News and Gossip.
Some of Zunmerin: n’s ideas on racing
will not be indorsed by 1896 bicyclists.
Whatever the “gnat and only’’ says,
however, is interesting. He writes in
the New York World :
“Good racing wheels are now made
as light as 20 pounds and as heavy as 28
pounds. The lighter weight wheels,
when made by firms of great, experience
in the building of first-elass wheels, are
all right for riders weighing 125 pounds
and under, but for those weighing more
than that I think a heavier wheel is
prefer .b e.
“Whenever the absolute ligidity of a
machine is sacrificed in order to save a
little weight, a good wheel is spoiled.
Nothing is more a; gravating than to find
a wheel spring under you at each push
on the pedal near the finish of a race, be
cause at that time one generally needs
every advantage possible, and every
time the wheel springs a great deal of
speed is lost. Since 1 began riding a rac
ing safety I have used but one make,
and, with the exception of, I think,
three races and my road and path w»rk,
I have done the whole of my training
and racing upon two machines—that is,
one per season. The first was an ordina
ry stock pattern, the other was built
for me, but differs little from a stock
pattern. Both machines weighed be
tween 26 and 27 pounds.
“Training for a race and riding a race
are entirely different things, but the
successful racer must be able to do both.
It is almost useless to advise how to ride
a race. The whole matter must be solved
by the man after the race is started.
Everybody in the race must be kept un
der his eye and every advantageous
point watched.
“Experience is the best teacher in cy
cle racing as in other things. If you are
well acquainted with the men with
whom yon are racing you can very easily
decide upon a position, otherwise I ad
vise you to be well towards the front.
“The novice must bear well in mind
that the race is won at the finish and
‘not at the start. I have seen men ride
the first quarter of a mile in a race as if
it were the finish. They thus pumped
themselves out before half the distance
was traveled and threw away all chance
of winning.
“On mv arrival in England I noticed
that the English riders used higher gears
than the American riders. I am quite
positive that the best results can be ob
tained from 64, 66 or 68 inch, except on
poor grass or other very rough tracks,
where sometimes even a lower gear
might be used more effectively. I have
frequently noticed that when a man
with a 72-inch or higher gear comes to
the last quarter he is unable to hold the
sprint which is obtained upon a lower
gear.
“My gear while riding in England
was 64 inch, with 6 inch cranks; on my
return to America I changed it to 67
inch gear, on the same machine. My
reason for using a little higher gear in
this country was on account of the
larger track. Most of our tracks here
have a straightaway last quarter, while
the tracks in England are much smaller,
and my idea is that the difference in
the two gears could be used to advantage
correspondingly with the tracks.
“Eat moderately and regularly. Don’t
lunch between meals, nor just before go
ing to bed. Some good and wholesome
things are beef, broiled or roasted, mut
ton, fowl, eggs, bread, rice, tapioca,
oatmeal, cornstarch, sajo and cracked
wheat! in fact almost all kinds of food
may be eaten in moderation, though
hot bread, pies, dumplings, nuts, pan
cakes, veal, pork, lamb and greasy food
generally should be avoided as being too
hard to digest. Ripe fruit in season is
good, but I think potatoes ate not. I eat
three meals a day only, and prefer a
moderate amount of meat every time.
“The meats I have named as proper
articles of died give strength to stomach
and body, and do not make one fat. The
American Indians are the nearest ap-
Cancer
01 the Breast.
Mr. A. H. Crausby, of 158 Kerr St.,
Memphis, Tenn., says that his wife
paid no attention to a small lump which
appeared in her breast, but it soon de
veloped into a cancer of the worst type,
and notwithstanding the treatment of
the best physicians, it continued to
spread and grow rapidly, eating two
holes in her breast. The doctors
soon pronounced
her incurable. A
celebrated New York
specialist then treat
ed her, but she con
tinued to grow worse
and when informed
that both her aunt
and grandmother had
died from cancer he
' gave the case up as
hopeless.
Someone then re

when she had taken several Littles i’

The week just passed has been a lively
one among the cyclists. Every after
noon the drives and numerous good
roads around the city have been crowded
and many couples may be seen these
beautiful moonlight nights riding tan

which are exciting the admiration of
every one.
Miss Mabel Seay has a very pretty

When wear begins to exceed repair .
in your body you are going to fall
sick. The signs of it are: loss of flesh,
paleness, weakness, nervousness, etc.
The repair needed is food. Youthink
you eat enough, and yet you feel that
you wear out more tissue, energy,
never-forep, than your food makes for
you. The difficulty is that you do not
digest enough. And this is so serious
it is worth sitting down seriously to '
think about. If you can’t digest,
what you eat, take a few doses of
Shaker Digestive Cordial. The effect
of it will be to increase your flesh
and make you feel stronger. You won’t
fall sick. Proof that it is in con
trol of your repair apparatus. It’s
easy enough to test this yourself. Take
a few bottles of Shaker Digestive Cor
dial.

, Muka U«.
The fact that the finest bauxite beds in
the world surround Rome, and that they
are used to secure aluminum makes the
story below from yesterday’s Constitution
more interesting to the people of this
section.
The story is as follows:
Macon, Ga., Sept. 21.—The city court
this morning entered upon the trial of
the case of the state vs. J. O. Seamon; of
Atlanta.
When the defendant was first arrested in
Atlanta, several weeks ago, on a warrant
sworn out by Druggist Sol Hoge, of Ma
con, charging him w’ith cheating and
swindling, the case appeared of a trivia)
nature but it has developed interesting
phases.
Seamon, as a traveling salesman, sold
spoons to Druggist Hoge on the represen
tation that they were gold aluminum,
where Mr. Hoge alleges the spoons were
brass. Seamon was arrested in Atlanta,
brought to Macon, accompanied by his
attorney, Mr. T. R. R Cobb promptly gave
b md before a magistrate, was released and
returned to Atlanta. He is in Macon again
today standing trial before Judge Ross, of
the city court. Seamen’s attorney is T.
R. R. Cobb, who has associated with him
Colonel John R. Cooper, of Macon. The
state is represented by Solicitor General
Lane. Hon. Linton A. Dean of Rome, is
also here as the attorney of the Fairbanks
Company, the manufacturers of the gold
aluminum tableware like that which Sea
mon sold to Druggist Hoge.
Mr. Dean is here to see that the
interests of the company are pro
tected and that the proper representa
tion concerning their aluminum ware
are brought out at the trial of the
case. It is alleged that the spoons sold
Druggist Hoge are the same quality
of goods that are manufactured bv
Fairbanks and sold by the thousands
and thousands of dozens throughout
the country, and are known as gold
aluminum tableware. The goods are
made of a composition formed by Dr.
Leonard Waldo, of Bridgeport. Conn.,
and an interest in the patent or for
mula has been purchased by the
Fairbank Company.
Dr. Waldojis a distinguished chemist
and has been a professor at Harvard
and Yale. He is a scientist of deep
learning, and a gentleman of broad
culture.
He comes to testify in the Seamon
case, so far as to tell of what composi
tion the spoons sold Druggist Hoge
are made. He states that aluminum
enters very largely into the composi
tion, but there is no brass in the
spoons.
Dr. Waldo says that the aluminum
used in the manufacture of his composi
tion comes from Georgia, and so great
is the quantity of aluminum being used
by the Fairbanks Company in the man
ufacture of their gold aluminum table
ware that the sale of aluminum will be
more valuable to Georg a than all the
gold or minerals and ores taken from
her soil.
Considering the large sales of these
aluminum goods throughout the United
States, it is a coincidence that the first
complaint ever made of them should
have arisen in Georgia, where the alum
inum is obtained, and though the case
through which it comes into court is in
itself small, it has far-reaching
results as is evidenced by the presence
here of Dr. Waldo, of Connecticut, and
Hon. L. A. Dean, the attorney of the
Fairbanks Company. All that the com
pany is interested in is to protect its
goods against the charge that they are
brass. There are quite a number of
witnesses, experts and otherwise, in the
case.
Dr. Waldo says that the state of
New York requires these aluminum
goods Jo be used in all her public ins
titutions like hospitals, asylums, etc.,
and their use is also being’adopted in
the state institutions of Ohio.
Solicitor General Lane spoke for
the prosecution and Mr. Cobb for the
defense. The jury retired at 6 o’clock
this evening and was out only a few
minutes and returned a verdict of not
guilty.
