success nnd good reputation for them are not possible The End of the Chicago Fight Against Department For three or four years some of tho Chicago retail merchants have been making a tremendous pother the department stores They agitated have made ineffectual boycotts havo gone to Spring- field and with the aid of some of tho demagogues prepared preposterous bills classifying merchandise and laying ex- orbitant taxes on the different clauses of it for the purpose of injuring the department stores great variety of articles is kept bills would never have held water in the for they were not general and in their provisions The country store which is a department store in minia- ture was not attacked Tho big Chicago stores were to be fined and ruined- if possible for the sake of benefiting some of their smaller competitors- The movement never had any real chance of success and for some time it has dropped out of sight Tho very people who would sign petitions to the Legislature for laws in restraint of de- partment stores would sneak off and trade at them The wives of the small dealers who were so hot against the big could not be kept from buying at them Tho agitators admit this After all the froth and fury plain business sense won the day People will buy where they think they con buy most advantageously You may declaim at public meetings or on street corners against crushing monopolies- and make damnable faces at the Octopus The wife of your bosom has common- sense even if you havent and she will buy where she thinks it her Interest and convenience to buy The Illinois Legislature would have a sweet job if it undertook to boss the Chicago women in their shopping Having failed to skin or scare the Octopus some of the Chicago retail merchants have decided to do a lit- tle octupussing themselves Thirty or more of thorn traders in various lines of goods are going to combine and to a department store of their own of tho combination the pro moter of the now enterprise

British Navy came to an end on Monday afternoon when the Admiralty without warning Issued orders to the CommndoreinChlef of the two to return to their stations- Of report has not been mode or even that part of it intended- for public consumption but it is said that X fleets commanded by VlceAd- mlral Sir A K WILsON V C has been declared victorious over B com- manded by Rear Admiral H U The command repre the the latter the British on tho defensive The began on Monday July 20 when the word reached the contending fleets they were north of the fiftysixth parallel B fleet to the eastward X fleet to the westward of Scotland Tho object of both com- manders was to obtain control of the Channel Admiral WILSON also was to try to stop the trade in those while Admiral NOEL was to In toe latters fleet B there were twelve battleships fourteen cruisers and eight boat destroyers in Admiral there were eight battleships thirteen cruisers and eight destroyers Two special squadrons with eleven cruisers and twentyfour destroyers- were attached to B fleet and when the manamvres began were at Ports- mouth and Portland and two similar squadrons of eleven cruisers twenty destroyers and six torpedo boats at tached to X fleet were at the Scilly Islands and tho Channel Islands The defending fleets thus numbered seventy ships the enemys sixtysix- But as a fact tho X quite as powerful as the B fleet and its vessels were much faster The first engagement occurred on the day the war began when a de- tachment of Admiral NOELS fleet met tho special squadron stationed at the Scilly Islands and was defeated After that ViceAdmiral WILBON seems to have been pretty consistently victorious and when the war ended ho had put out of action some dozen cruisers two gunboats and eight destroyers losing himself three cruisers three destroyers- and a like number of torpedo boats His had also captured theoretically- a of merchantmen Thus ho had acquired control of the and was able to stop its trade Various writers have Already an nounced that England Is at tho mercy of an invading enemy and that the result of tho confirms the criticisms to which the British Navy has been subjected This conclusion appears premature Much more plain is It that Admiral WILSON proved himself on abler strategist than Admiral NOEL Mr TREVBLYAN now Sir GEOROE TREVELYAN expressed tho feelings of the British publio about the navy in his Ladles In Parliament In these words When nallor lived on mouldy bread and lump of rusty pork No Frenchman dared to show hit noM be- tween the Downs and Cork But now that Jack get beet sad greens and neit his skIn wears flannel says weve not a ship In plight to keep the Channel The British Navy is probably no worse as to condition now than it was thirty when TUEVELYAN wrote State of the Wheel Numerous expressions have been heard during tho post few months to tho effect that bicycling is becom ing less popular But of all the un cheerful views of tho situation the moat pronounced comes from Now Orleans and appears in tho TimesDemocrat- In an Interview with Mr W H PICKENB a wellknown bicycle authority- Mr PICKENB avers that bicycle riding has been on the sure and steady decline for four years and even that the wheelmen have decreased 75 per- cent since 1897 Tho wheel will never have again the popularity It enjoyed- in the year named This Southern authority also notes the bicycles loss of power to amuse thousands who do not themselves ride but formerly occupied front seats at cycle races Tho racing game Is in a- very stagnant condition The intro- duction of motor cycles for pacing has not brought back the lost following as It was and professional racing men who a few years ago won thousands of dol- lars annually nro now borrowing money from their friends Valuable cash prizes were hung up for them five years ago they are not offered loather medals to race now From ISM to ISOS Inclusive 1000000 bicycles wero manufactured anti Hold in the United States or an average of lOOOOdo a year nnd PICKENS doubts very ranch whether the sales of wheels this year will amount to IWOOO Ho concludes therefore that In Its lay cycle making was ex- tremely profitable but that that day has gone by The reason ascribed by Mr PICKKVS for the great change alleged of time bicycle industry N substantially the one advanced by many other persons in explaining tho nituation namely that cycling has come to bo regarded with comparative indifference by time upper ten whoso support In years past was a great factor in tho wheels success More extraordinary

in exhfkratlnt spins on the boulevards no longer visits the bicycle in search attractive mounts and nolonger cares to share in the excite- ment aroused by close contests on the racetrack Tho better class so called have abandoned bicycling for golf automobtling and other fashion- able sports and are allowing their steel roadsters to remain unused In dusty storerooms Consequently cycling- Is said to have no recognized leaders- It is true that Value of the wheels exported from this country dropped from 7000000 in 1888 to 15000000 in 1800 and to 3000000 in IWO but the decrease has been accounted for by tho fact that several foreign countries in which a few ago the wheelmak ing industry and which were then large buyers of the American prod uct now manufacture almost enough machines for their own use It is safe to think that the statements contained in our Southern contemporary greatly exaggerate the situation Cer tainly the crowds this summer at Madi- son Square Garden and at Manhattan Beach and several other hero where cycle races been not substantiated the views of Mr PICKENS as regards the interest- in racing and the appearance of the cycle thoroughfares indicates no such condition as ho describes with regard- to everyday The Battle of the Tho attempt of two gamblers to stop another gambler from doing business- at Saratoga calls attention to a situation prevailing at that resort which must bo interesting alike to municipal reformers and social philosophers It seems that n few ago the town was so afflicted of gamblers that folk refused to go there for a outing and the town suf- fered In consequence The reign of tho gamblers was succeeded by a reign of reformers The sporting men were driven from the town and gam bling house was closed for Tho great hotels were magnificent in their loneliness for two long summers and the natives struggled along on credit through two long Then they decided must be n change Some of the leading cit- izens with practical minds announced that they believed that if a serious effort wero put forth gambling could bo controlled Tho people of Saratoga- were willing to try almost anything anti thereupon a few serious hard- headed men set about to control a vice They used highhanded methods They well realized that under the law there is no way of controlling law breaking Therefore they resorted to measures which had neither warrant in law nor in equity They laid blunt proposition that a number- of gambling places should be allowed in the town and that the fiat of the powers that were should determine who might conduct the places and who might not A President of the village in sym- pathy with the gamblers and a gambler himself was legislated out of office and- a Democratic business man the choice of Republicans and Democrats alike was put in his place In its practical opera tion the plan has succeeded up to the present time Prosperity returned Saratoga has learned that much gam- bling doth make a town mad but that a little gambling is not altogether nn unprofitable thing The gambling re sorts were run so quietly that unless a stronger were looking for a roulette wheel or a faro bank he wouldnt have there was one of either in But then came tho Inevitable On Saturday two wellknown gamblers started out to prevent one of the fa vored sporting mon from openly vio- lating the law while they themselves- are prevented from doing so The man arrested was RICHARD A CAN FIELD who according to common re- port conducts tho finest gambling re- sort In this city It Is that tho men who caused his the Hon CALEB W MITCHELL of Saratoga and DANIEL STUART of Texas Arkansas and the rest of the world allaround sport and famous as an impresario- of prizefights CANFIELD was ar raigned In police court and held for the Grand Jury but business at tho old stand was not Interfered with by tho pro- ceedings STUART admits that he is behind tho movement against CAN FIELD nnd threatens In language of National Organizer FLYNN- of the Federation of Labor to tear Saratoga all up If CANFIELD is per to run a gambling house whilo may not run a poolroom The issue is squarely gamblers Invoking tho law against law breaking
