Wearied by three days' traveling from New lork, seven Hindus from Calcutta. In dia. walked the streets of Denver last night in an ertort to nnd a hotel whore they could stay. "Have no room for you," came the answer from seven different hotel clerks. Nine o'clock came and the Hindus were ready to give up. They were without food. for the restaurants of Denver refused to feed them. Incidentally, the Hindus could not eat the food prepared by American cooks. "We must cook It ourselves and have it blessed," said the only member of the party who could speak Kngiish. After three hours of wandering the Hindus made their way back to the Union Depot, where Policeman Love took them in charge. On one of the Hindus was found a little tag. which read: "Send to Walter Clarke Bellows. Elitch's Gardens." Policeman Leve called up the gardens and notified T D. Long that seven Hindus were looking for a home. Mr. Long, who had not been noti fied of their arrival by the railroad, hur riedly sent an agent to the depot, and then again followed a long hunt for a hotel to lodge the Hindus. The Hindus, according to telegrams from New York, were not due to arrive In Denver until this morning. However, the Burlington road brought them through from Chicago last night, which started the complications. Mr. Long, when he heard sf the trouble, grew somewhat indignant. "I have traveled in India," he told one clerk, "and I know these men are of the higher cast. They would be received with open arms in England or in their own country, owing to tht ir station in life." Mr. Long, however, managed to find them lodging by paying double rates and putting th' party on the top of the hotel and In three rooms. This morning they were taken to Elich's Gard ns and will make their home in a big tent. The Hindus are the first arrival of a company of twenty-nine, which will take part in "The Little Christians." the new nlay of Walter Clarke li llowa, to be given at the gardens next Sunday night for the first time. .Mystery In Death of Bill Nye's Annt.

Chicago News. Speed and the ability to break world. records do not always win middle-distance bicycle riCli, as was shown the other night in Boston, when Bobby Waithour defeated George Leander of -the Congress Cycling Club of Chicago and Basil de Guichard, the Frenchman. The distance was fifteen miles from a standing start, and Waithour won in 18:11. The time for the five miles was 6:30 2-5; ten miles 12:30 2-5. De Guichard is the chap who recently reeled off a mile at Pittsburg in 1:08, creating a new mark, while Leander came into additional prominence recently by breaking all world's records from one to fifteen miles. This he did on the Cna. ö River Park speedway. Leander had a iiying start in his ride against the watch and did five miles in 5:15 1-5 and the fifteen in 17:2y 1-5 an average of 1:10 to the mile which to the veteran cyclists of Chicago seems to be almost flying, when it is considered that not much more than a year ago 1:19 and a fraction was the best ou the books, Major Taylor and the Garfield track holding the honor. Middle-distance pace following nowadays is a much more dangerous proposition than it used to be in the days of the triplets and quads propelled by leg power. Since the introduction of mechanicsl pace there have been several fatalities and now every precaution is taken to guard against such accidents as resulted in the deaths of Johnny Nelson, Harry Elkes and others. The pacemaker, too, comes in for tt great deal of consideration and the man over the motor now presents a strange sight to eyes accustomed to the scanty attire of the old days, in the first place the pacemaker is provided with a soluj-leather cap, such as is used by football pi :yers. This fits snugly on his head und also protects his ears, so in case of a fall he has a chance to escape fracture of the skull. He is dressed as warmly as if going on an Arctic expedition a leather suit and rubber overshoes being designed to protect him. The clothes are all heavily padded and this saves him soma when an accident results in a fall. The pace follower has to take more chances. He cannot handicap himself with heavy clothing und a headgear and has to take his chance in a mixup. About the only safeguard he has is an iron attachment on the rear of the pacing machine which prevents him from touching wheels with the motor This in itself, however, saves many falls, although in the old days Jimmy Michael used to nonchalantly rub wheels while going to top speed without coming the cropper that usually results. DRIVER, THE WOMAN AND PETE. Amateur Humane Society Worker Had a Painful Surprise. Brooklyn Eagle. The man who told me this story seemed to see more humor than pathos in It. I assume, therefore, that the switch really was a small one and that the horse didn't mind It much. He was a large baj', drawing a light, empty truck along Lefferts place in u meditative sort of way. His name was Pete not a very high-sounding name, you must admit and there was nothing in his manner to indicate especial pride. But you can't always tell, you know. What is it the poets say? A noble heart may beat beneath a poor horse's coat, or straw hat, or something of that sort. Possibly P-te at that moment felt a glimmer of the wild freedom of his ancient ancestor, roaming the plain at his unharnessed will. Anyway. Pete stopped with a sot" expression in his eye, to say nothing of a certain determined attitude of body as ho braced back against th breechin" The driver having exhausted all the ordinary means ot making a horse move without a whip, the gathering crowd offered divers and sundry extraordinary suggestions, such as lifting him along with a derrick, for instance. At last, however, the driver broke a small switch from a tree limb overhead and proceeded to persuade the recalcitrant Pete therewith. Then a woman's voice slit the ambient silence. "Here!' she shouted. "Stop beating that horse, or I'll have you arrested." The driver stopped and looked at the welldressed woman a moment in amusement. Then, with a sweeping gesture, which indicated that she had his permissiou to get off the earth, he answered: "Say, I'v- took more off o dat hoss dan most women has took off o' dere kids. See? Now y.u miht as well run along about yer business, Vus y'u can t git yer name in de papers through me an' dia boss. Git up. Pete!" , And the horse, as if the conversation had I diverted his mind from its pugnacious pur-

pose, started off in apparently the best of humor. I don't say that be wasn't even smiling to Mmself. ACCIDENT AT BAPTIZING.

J. The pier on which they were standing collapsed Jut as the Rev. John T. Thornton was about to baptise a member of his flock. Forty persons wem injured, the majority by the hysterical efforts of their companions to escape from what, for the moment, they thought wua death by drowning; but when the ambu lunce surgeon looked over the bruised ones) he found only four who needed attention.

New York Commercial Advertiser tRep ). Senator Aldrich confirms the announcement published in our Washington dispatches that the subcommittee of the senate finance committee has abandoned all thought of a radical currency measure, such tt.s the uset Lank note bill urged last year by Mr. Fowler. The committee is unanimously in favor of the simple plan of permitting deposit o? customs revtaua In the banks and the removal of the restriction upon retirement of bank not- circulation. This It will urge at the extra Sfsrton of Congress in t!ie belief, which we believe is fully warranted, that the couutry at large approves of such legislation. Current reports of disagreement among the leaders which, it is said, may defeat all attempts to change existing currency laws, are bused on a misconception of the situation. When the idea of calling Congress in extra session to confirm the Cuban reciprocity treaty waa first entertained the plan of presenting a comprehensive scheme of currency reform, suggested lr Mr. Fowler's proposals last winter, was taken up and seriously cotsidered. It was soon ascertained, however, that public opinion was not by any means ready for what many persons unwarrantediy regard as an inflation of the currency, important financial iuterests in the East having been among the first who were heard from as objecting to the programme for a far-reaching currency measure. Since then, we understand, the Senate committee Iirs devoted itself exclusively to the simple reform already mentioned, believing that on this basis the Repul llcan majority in both houfts can secure action. The decision, in our opinion, Is altogether judicious. THE MEDICINE OF DISCORD. How a Great Statesman Fnand Solace In the Mualc of n Hand Organ. Alfred Henry Lewis, in Everybody's Magazine. A great statesman, one who had all but touched the presidency, lay dying within the walls of an old brick mansion on the eastern side of the square where I had elected to sit. It was my first afternoon In the square when a hand-organ began to grind forth its turgid strains before the brick house. I looked and listened with each moment that some one would issue from the house of doom and drive the dinmaker away. Instead, a bright black man. evidently a butler, came and stood on the porch. An hour went by before the repertory was exhausted: then the black man gave the organ man a dollar, and the music and the man went quickly their ways. "I should think it would disturb your master?" I said to the black guardian of the porch. "He likes It." he replied "The organ comes by his orders. Tbs doctor says It does him mora good than the medicine." For a week I went and sat on my beach and heard the organ grind. The programme never varied; the concert lasted the hour; then came the dollar and the .nuslc ceased. For a full week I attended these concerte In the square. Then came a day when the hand organ did not appear. I looked at my watch I was surprised, the concert wag ten minutes overdue! What should delay him? Surely that easy dollor had ita charms! Then, as though in answer to my question my eye caught a black flutter at the door it was a knot of crape. Tho ear that had liatuued was dulled; the audience had departed; Blaine, secretary of state, wag dead. Two Women Dcnd of Injuries. LOWELL. Mass., Sept. 7.
