THOUSANDS of cyclists all over the country will read attentively "What to Avoid in Cycling," by Sir Benjamin I in having a gentleman Ward Richardson, M. D., in the North American Review for August. The value of such a contribution from so eminent a source is apparent.
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: One-half of the Democrats in Kentucky are attacking their platform and the other half are assailing their candidates. Nobody ever before saw a great party making a canvass after this fashion. Of course under the circumstances the party can not win. Probably it does not expect to win.
GREAT dissatisfaction is expressed in Spain with General Campos' efforts to stamp down the Cuban revolution. The rebel leader Gomez has outgeneraled him at nearly every point, and the Spaniards are mortified thereat. The trouble is, however, they have not anybody who is any better general than Campos.
THE Democratic Frankfort Crescent didn't like Professor Bynum's speech and proceeds to masticate him in the most approved style of a Bannock Indian. On the {other hand the Democratic Aryus News endorses his sentiments even to the crossing of the t's and the dotting of the i's. "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.
NEW YORK Tribune: It remained for the present Administration to determine the weighty question whether an artificial leg attached to its owner and wearer is or is not subject to duty. A sapient collector of duties at Ogdensburg assessed such a member, coming into the United States from Canada, $15 as a "manufactured article," evidently laboring undur the impression tnat an old soldier has no rights which this Administration is bound to respect. But he has been overruled, and the leg comes in free.
ELECTIONS in which Governors or other State officers will be chosen are to be held in eleven States, which is more than a quarter of the whole number, this year. These are Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennslyvania. Besides these Utah will aban don the Territorial stage and take its place as a State this year, choosing a full set of officers. In some of these, and in a few other States, Legislatures will be elected which will choose United States Senators.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Toledo1 Blade, writing from Bowling Green, O., tells this:
About three years ago Robert Main, son of David Main, one of the wealthiest farmers in Wood county, went to Salt Lake City, Utah, and organized what was known as the Utah Oil and Gas Compauy. Along with him and several others went W. 11. Harvey, of Chicago. The venture was a failure, «»nd to use the common expression they all "went broke." One evening as they were talking over their ill luck, Harvey said: "Bob, we did not make a sue cess financially, but 1 am going back to Chicago and write a book on finance, and if you will go with me I will give you half the proceeds." Young Main did take to the venture, and told Harvey he was an ignoramus and that he had better hunt a job. Harvey went back to Chicago and wrote "Coin's Fi nancial School," a book that has been the talk of the universe, and has made him something like 8100,000. Robert
Main is in Swayzee, Ind., keeping books in a glass factory. As the Chicago Inter Ocean was a sharer in the profits it can afford to have a tender spot for "Coin."
VERILY, the Kilkenny fight in Kentucky waxeth warm and the opposing factions of the Democratic party seem to be more anxious to destroy each other than to defeat the Republican party. Mr. Blackburn declares that either he or a Republican will be his own successor in the United States Senate, and the Courier-Journal speaking for the Administration "soundmoney" faction of the party, declares that unless a "sound-money" Demo cratic candidate shall be brought forward in every legislative district in which a Blackburn candidate appears, and unless Blackburn shall be met wherever he appears by Governor Buckner or Governor McCreary, "it may be necessary, before the canvass is hall over, for an outraged and be trayed party to assert itself in ways at
all times open to those who are true to their country and their convictions"— that is by supporting and voting' the straight Republican ticket.

WANTS TO GET OUT.
Convict Allen Will Not "Peach' Until He Is Pardoned.
SAYS MINNIE WILLIAMS IS ALIVE.
Attorney Capp Confident That Ills Evidence "Will Convict Holmes—Ouinlan Saitl to lluve Made Damaging
Admissions.
LITTLE UOCK, Ark., Atig. 1.—Convict Allen persists in his assertion that Minnie Williams was alive six months ago and in the belief that she is alive now. He did not meet Holmes in Arkansas and his connection with him was confined to Fort Worth, Tex. He never wrote any letters to llolmes. Allen declares that the detectives from Chicago will get nothing for their trouble unless they are able to secure his release from the peniteutiary.
The only place at which Allen met llolmes, he says, was at Fort Worth, and he knows a great deal about his crookedness in that city.
Would Pardon Him.
Relative to a pardon for Allen, Gov. Clarke said: "If I am convinced that Allen can convict Holmes of murder, who is guilty and would otherwise go unpunished, I would be inclined to pardon him, if requested so to do by the proper authorities."
1IK I'KICLS SI RE.
Lawyer Capp Says Allen's Kvidcnvo Will Convict Holmes. CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—Mr. Capp, the attorney from Texas who is here in the interest of the relatives of the Williams sisters, who has been in consultation with Chief Badenoch and Inspector Fitzpatrick, said Wednesday that it was true Quinlan and his wife had made confessions, but the nature of their admissions, he said, he was not privileged to divulge. "You can say," said Mr. Capp, 'that we have a complete case against Holmes and Quinlan, and Allen is the 'corpus delicti' that makes conviction possiblc *:x Therc is no speculation about it.-' fef,
Quinism Still 011 tlie Ruck.
The police were not communicative after their work of the day. They held along session with Quinlan and declared that they got but little information from their conversation with him. It is generally believed. however, that Quinlan has confessed on Hatch, alias Allen, alias Caldwell, now in Little Rock peniteutiary. The police are playing the two men, one against the other, for information concerning all parties, and it is believed Quinlan told them several important facts concerning Hatch.
Despite Quinlau's denial, it, can be proved he went to Fort Worth with Holmes, Pitzel and Hatch, and that he was in the Fort Worth bank with Hatch when the bank loaned $lo,0(JJ on the Williams property, which had been transferred to Pitzel under the name of I). B. Lyman. Quinlan admitted he was in Fort Worth with Holmes and Pitzel in a. talk with Attorney William Capp last Saturday. He said at the time he had nothing to do with the forgery.
Csed Xjeadly Oil.
A sample of the oil found in the cellar has been submitted to the city chemist and it is found that the fumes from it in a closed vault would suffocate a person in li»ss than a minute. Hie oil will be analyzed to-day. It is also believed from an experiment made by the, chemist that the footprint in Holmes' airtight vault was made by afoot which had been in this deadly oil. The chemist put some of the oil on his hand and then placed it on the bottom of a metal pan. The iron was immediately corroded, where the oil touched and the print of the hand was left on the pan. The theory is now that the oil was used by llolmes in murdering his victims.
IN A CONVENT.
Holme*' Version of the Whereabouts of Miss Clgranii. Pim.ADEI.PIIIA, Aug. 1. llolmes, the much-accused murderer, has an explanation for the disappearance of Miss Emeline Cigrand, one of his alleged victims. Holmes' explanation of Miss Cigrand's disappearance, like all the fellow's explanations, is clever, but like all of his tales it is lacking in essential particulars. In an interview llolmes sai.l that he had led Miss Cigrand astray. He afterwards fooled her with a bogus marriage. They lived together :-.i man and wife for a short time and then Miss Cigrand learned that she had been twice deceived and was not a legal wife. Upon learning this the girl was overwhelmed with shame and remorse and she left home and entered a convent. Where this convent is llolmes failed to state.

I)r. Cox Writes il Letter.
Ei.wooit. Ind.. Aug. i.—A sensation was caused here by the receipt of a letter from Dr. Thomas A. Cox, who is ciiarged with the murder of his nephew, Thomas Myers, at Gun. Hancock county, and the perpetration of a fraudulent burial at Clifford the following day in order to swindle the insurance companies out of over S'.I.OO!) insurance. The letter was received as an inclosnre by some unknown person in this city, who evidently is a J'rieud of Dr. (.'ox's, and was dropped in the post office. The letter bore no address, and his present location is as much a mystery as ever. The letter states that Dr. Cox will be at El wood about September 1 to 5 to answer any chargcs that may be made. The letter declares that the writer went away because he knew he would be unable to secure bail.
SliiV He ii Clew.
IMUA.NAI'OLIS, Ind., Aug. 1.—Frank Dunbar and his son-in-law, Robert Wyatt, of West Indianapolis, neighbors of Gebhard, who lived at 12 Wooburn a venue, were arrested Wednesday morning charged with being accessory to the murder of Ida Gebhard. The officers are reticent about the matter, but so far as can be learned the suspicion is that either or both of them know how the body was taken to the stable. There is no suspicion that either Dunbar or Wyatt had anything to do with the murder of the child, but the theory is that one or both were prevailed upon to help a neighbor out of trouble.
Minnie CJennet's Fiite Revealed. ENGLISH, Ind., Aug. 1.—Thomas Jarvis, while squirrel hunting, made the ghastly discovery of 8-j'ear-old Minnie Gennct's fate and came to English for her burial casket.

What caused the child to thus digress from the roail is a mystery and suspicious of foul play exist. When discovered the clothing was partly torn away and the llesh was totally gone. Mr. Jarvis thinks the child was destroyed and devoured by reptiles.
