LOSSES BY THE BICYCLE
The Economic and Social Influ
ences of the Wheel
SOME INTERESTING DATA
Scarcely a Line of Trade but Feels the
Effect of tbe Craze
Aa Enormous Amount of Money Invested In
This New Branch of Manufacturing.
Facts and Figures
In the current number of the Forum
some Interesting data have been col
lected by J. B. Bishop to show the
economic and social influence of the
bicycle. He estimates that since the
passion for wheeling got under full
headway, less than five years ago, at
least $100,000,000 have been spent in the
purchase of bicycles In the United
States alone. The output for the pres
ent year is computed at from 750,000 to
1,000,000 machines, at an average retail
price, of $80 each. Obviously, a million
people cannot buy bicycles at the aver
age price named and continue to Bupply
themselves with as many other things
as they would otherwise have bought.
What are the other kinds of business
which have been most seriously affect
ed by the remarkable development of
the new branch of manufacturing?
The makers of watches and Jewelry
are said to have been tbe first to feel the
effects of the diversion of money to bi
cycles. It seems that formerly on Christ
mas day or a birthday, the favorite pres
ent to tho male members of the family
was a watch; now it is a bicycle. The
young girls on their part were accus
tomed to save their pin money for the
purpose of buying earrings or a breast
pin; now they hoard It for a bicycle.
Tbe grown-up daughter, who used to
look forward to the purchase of a piano,
now concludes that she will wait no lon
ger and gets a bicycle Instead. It ls re
ported that the piano trade for the cur
rent year has fallen oft 50 per cent. Ac
cording to the furniture dealers, young
women, when allowed by their parents
to choose between a set of parlor furni
ture and a bicycle, always choose the
latter. Undoubtedly, however, the worst
sufferers are the horse and carriage
trades and the ancillary lines of busi
ness. Saddle horses are a drug on the
market; the livery stable business has
been cut down form a half to two-thirds;
for new carriages the demand has been
so much reduced that several leading
manufacturers have gone to the wall,
The saddle and harness makers have
been forced to turn their attention to the
making of bicycle saddles. Riding aca
demies have been turned into bicycle
schools.
So far only the direct economical con
sequences of the bicycle craze have been
considered. Mr. Bishop proceeds to
discuss some of the Indirect effects. The
journals of »he tobacco trade assert that
the consumption of cigars has fallen off
during the present year nt the rate of
1,000,000 clgarH a day. This they ascribe
to the fact that as a rule wheelmen do
not smoke while riding. Saloon keepers
say that they also suffer, because their
rooms are deserted on pleasant even
ings. Even the wheelmen who visit
them avoid drink, because riding re
quires a steady head. A large restau
rant in this town which makes a spec
ialty of table d'hote dinners has incur
red this summer a loss of half Its busi
ness through the desertion of wheelmen,
railway and steamboat men report ypat
excursionists prefer to go to the country
or the seashore on the bicycle rather
than by rail or water. Trolley and Other
street car lines from cities to their sub
urbs have had their receipts sensibly di
minished. In cities the theaters are said
to be injured by the bicycle even in win
ter, and to be ruined in summer. On the
other hand, in country villages the
churches are fast losing the attendance
of young people on Sunday, and are try
ing to lure them back by providing stor
age room for their wheels. Shoemakers
complain that they suffer materially be
cause persons who formerly got their
exercise by walking have taken to the
wheel, upon which they ride In low
priced shoes, which are subject to little
wear and tear. The hatters say they are
injured because bicyclists wear cheap
caps. The tailors aver that their busi
ness has been damaged at least 25 per
cent, because their customers do not
wear out clothes as rapidly as former
ly, spending much of their time In
cheap ready-made bicycles suits. Deal
ers In dry goods say that the predilec
tion of young women for the wheel has
reduced their sales of dress goods and
expensive costumes from 25 to 50 per
cent, because so many girls prefer an
evening ride in bicycle garb to sitting
at home in more elaborate apparel.
Finally the book sellers declare that
much riding prevents much reading,
and that their trades suffers. One great
news agency In New York city, which
deals in novels and periodicals, asserts
that Its loss In trade this year from
bicycle competition does not fall short
Of $1,000,000.
Some of tthe economical effects of the
widely extended use of the bicycle will,
no doubt, be lasting, but others are cer
tain to be transitory. As Mr. Bishop
remarks, people are not going to get on
permanently without pianos or watches
because they ride upon bicycles. As
soon as a given community becomes
Stocked with bicycles, and the changes
and Improvements become so unimpor
tant as to no longer require the purchase
of new machines every year, money will
begin to flow back Into some of its for
mer channels.

ONE CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
Such Will Be the Pean lor Union In the
Various District i
The Joint conference committee of the
Democratic, Populist and Silver parties
In San Francisco, appointed a sub-com
mittee on Thursday for the purpose Of
formulating such recommendations con
cerning the First and Third congres
sional districts as would produce a un
ion of the people'! and Democratic par
ties on congress. The
sub-committee met Friday morning,
says the Examiner of Saturday. E. M.
Wardell and J. S. Dore acted for the
People's party, M. C. Hassett and A.
Camlnetti for the Democratic, and W.
P. Lawlor for the Silver party. George
W. Baker was elected chairman and A.
Camlnetti secretary.
The following resolution was adopted
as to the Third district:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
committee that the meeting of the Peo
ple's party congressional convention of
the Third congressional district ought
to be postponed from the 2f>th of August
to the 4th of September, IS9B, and that
said convention be held that day In the
city of Vallejo; also, that the Democrat
ic congressional convention of the Third
district should be held at the same time
and place, in order, if possible, that a un
ion be effected between said conventions
In the selection of a candidate for con
gress mutually agreeable to both the
People's party and the Democratic par
ty conventions; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolu
tion be forwarded immediately to E.
M. Wardell and Wm. 11. Alford, chair
men respectively of the People's party
and the Democratic party state central
committees, with the request that they
immediately institute such proceedings
as they may deem necessary to effect
the objects herein set forth.
As to the First congressional district,
lt was decided that no action be taken
until a general plan of union on congres
sional, candidates applicable to all dis
tricts should be adopted by a conference
committee of the Democratic, People's
and Silver parties, and it was further
decided to recommend to the conference
committee that provision be made for
the appointment of a Joint committee
to formulate a plan of action providing
for a union nn candidates for congress
in nil the districts of the state.
This report was made to the Joint
conference committee, which resumed
its labors at a meeting held in the Cali
fornia hotel at 3 oclock in the afternoon.
Most of the members were present, wl*h
M. F. Tarpey presiding. The report of
the sub-committee was adopted by tho
joint committee. A long discussion fol
lowed on the subject of congressional
candidates, and while there was an en
tire unanimity of sentiment In favor of
combining on a single candidate In each
district, there was considerable differ
ence of opinion as to how the combina
tion should be made. It was finally de
cided to appoint a committee of three,
one from each political party, to formu
late a recommendation from the gener
al conference committee to the state
committee of the Democratic party, the
executive committee of the People's par
ty und the state committee of the Silver
party, that a new committee be ap
pointed to secure the election of seven
sliver congressmen, and that such com
mittee be composed as follows: Six
from the Democratic party, sitf from th"
People's party and three from the Silver
party; that tbe so-constituted new oom
mittee of fifteen have exclusive chargs
of the division of congressmen so as to
secure a union of Populists. Democrats
and Silver men on the same candidate
In each district, and as a means to tbat
end that they be empowered to require
every Populist and Democrat now norn -
mated or that may be nominated for
congress to place his resignation at the
disposal of such committee of fifteen;
that said committee of fifteen shall de.
termine what candidates shall be taken
down, so that there shall be but one
candidate in each district.
If any candidate refuse to abide by
the decision of the said committee after
Its ratification by the state committer
of the Democratic party and the execu
tive committee of tho People's party
and the state committee of the Silver
party, that then such candidate so re
fusing shall be condemned by all said
parties, through nn address by sail
committee, as undeserving of the sup
port nf any of said parties, and the can
didates agreed upon by said committer
shall receive the support of all three
of such parties.
John S. Dore was appointed to act for
the Populists. A. Camlnetti for the Dem
ocrats and W. P. Lawlor for the Sliver
party.
It was decided that the proposed
further action on the subject of con
gressmen should in no way postpone or
affect the ratification by the state com
mittees of the agreement on presidential
electors.
The Joint committee will meet again
on Tuesday afternoon at 2 oclock.
UNIVERSITY SILVERITES
A Strong Club Organize! at Wilson's Hall
Lest Evening.
Last night the free silver men of Uni
versity met at Wilson's hall on Vernon
avenue and organized the University
Bryan Silver club. The first speaker
introduced by Mr. Brunswick,
the temporary chairman, was Mr.
S. A. Waldron. Mr. Waldron spoke in
an enthusiastic and convincing manner
on the side of free silver. He drew a
number of interesting and undeniable
illustrations anent the inseparability
of the price of agricultural produce and
the price of silver. Agriculture is the
only real source of wealth and money is
Its measure; destroy the measure and
you destroy the life, the activity of our
wealth.
Hon. H. T. Hazard was then Intro
duced, and in tbe course of a pointed and
pungent address emphasized the argu
ment of his predecessor, and also ven
tilated Senator Sherman's true position
in regard to finance. Mr. Hazard was
liberally applauded and thoroughly
aroused his audience.
Voices were then heard for Col. I.
H. Messmore. The colonel responded
to the Invitation and made one of his
regulation "solid silver speeches." He
handled statistics like a lightning cal
culator, and supplementing these with
the facts of history, left not an inch of
ground on which an unhappy gold man
could stand.
Over fifty names were added to the
roll and a liberal collection was taken
up.
The meeting was very enthusiastic and
was largely attended, quite a number of
city people being present.
The next meeting will be held at the
same place next Monday evening, when
permanent organization will be ef
fected. All are cordially invited to at
tend.
DETERMINED MEN
The Republican Advocates ol Silver Wll
Hold Their Meeting Tonight
This evening at 7:30 the advocates of
silver coinage who have previously been
allied with the Republican party will
meet at 336 South Broadway. Some
thirty-five additional names were se
cured to the call yesterday, among tbe
number being F. J. Cooper.
To this meeting all Republican friends
of silver are invited as business of im
portance is to be transacted. James Mc-
Laehlan will not be there but his name
will probably be mentioned during the
course of the evening.
Bryan and Free Silver
The Hon. Jefferson Chandler, J. R.
Rush and others will speak tonight at
8 oclock for Bryan and free silver from
the court yard steps, comer of New
High and Temple streets.

THE WORLD'S WORST CUT
Wickedness and Wretchedness
Reign Supreme
A DEATH DEALING CLIMATE
Supplemented by Vice of Every Imagin
able Form
Port Sold, In the Midst nl a Hideous Desert,
Deservej lt * Reputation for Ab.
solute Badness
On tho baking sands at tho southeast
forner of tbo Mediterranean, just whore
the Suez canal gives birth totonsof steam
ers, ships and every sort, of craft, lies Port
Said, tho wickedest city in the whole
world.
It ls not lightly nor vainly that this
dirty, unattractive town on the borderland
ljctrrocu Asia und Africa, hulf mud walls
nnd half brick, has been given this name,
for If over a locality deserved such an op
probrious designation it is this samo Port
Said.
Not in any rinplc particular has Port
Said any advantages, commercial or atmos
pheric. Seven months In the year it is
piping hot aud 'ever breeding, the other
flvo mouths hardly less dangerous to
health. Trading or business there is al
most none in tho ordinary way, not even
of the oriental sort. Few cities, indeed,
have so little to offer in the way of shops
and goods for sale, Port Said's solo busi
ness Importance, in furt, is simply that it
serves as perl of call for tho vessels just
going Into ' r just coming out of the Suez
canal.
There are IK.COO or 20,000 peoplo in tho
town who. are permanent, residents, but
there not being any business to speak of
four fifths of these Irad idle, wandering,
dissipated lives. Their numbers aro con
stantly added to, for, with the arrival of
each ship in the roadstead—a ship is always
bound to stay thero ten or a dozen hours
nt least—crew aud passengers come ashore
for strolls through the dirty streets, and
the lower minded of them drink and gam
ble in the dens that dot the town on every
hand.
Under these conditions thero has sprung
up ii most alarming state cf continued and
constant immorality, which never lessens,
but increases yearly. No law, no regula
tions, no police force hold any of these de
baucheries in check. All is open and free.
"Vice not only exists, but Haunts itself
on every hand.
No other city offers a like soil for vice to
grow in. Irregularly Port Said has sprang
up ever since tho opening of the Suoz
cnnal, when it was only a handful of mud
huts on the Mediterranean shores, until
tho present time, when it is v populous
city, while still a straggling oriental vil
lage! of miles of crooked streets, narrow
lanes with many a turn (ending for tho
most part In oul de sacs) aud grim look
ing byways between dirty walls.
Hardly a street in tho whole town can
boast of such a thing as pavement. Even
tho chief avenue, the Kuede Commerce, is
ankle deep in dust and sand and seems
more like a slum quarter of a European
city than the chief artery of any metropo
lis, however small.
In all of Port Haid thero are only two
buildings tin t command attention from
tho visitor—the casino and a big mosque
In tho Arab quarter of tho towu. Tho
casino ia the great gambling hell of this
end of the Mediterranean shore, and to it
llock nil of the gamblers of that part of tho
world, gathering thero in the dirty, gaudy
hall to put down their ill gotten gold
pieces upon tho faded groen cloth, it is n
Monte Carlo, with nil the charms of its
sybaritic luxuriance nnd elegance gene, a
tawdry place frequented by tho lowest
types. It ia thero that the street beggars,
of which Port Said ia full, coma to squan
der away what t!.,-;• have gained from the
pockets of sympathliilng visit ws.
Tho mosquo i:i tho Aral) quarter ha 3
but one really Interesting feature, nnd
that is a feature filled with unpleasantness.
The traveler who sons to visit it needs nec
essarily to take off his shoes, in accordance
with tho Moslem rite, ami his only safety
Is to carry them aa ho wanders about,
for tho pilfering Arabs in this quarter of
the (own think nothing of purloining the
foot coverings of any one, and thero is
many a f, rolgncr who has had to hobble
back to his ship in a pair of uncomfortable
shoes of oriental manufacture, purchased
speedily a:.il at c dozen times their uctual
value in some shop near tho mosque.
Two things go to keep Port Bald the
wickedest city in < ristenco, one being the
climate, which' makes hard drinking a
necessity for tho residents, and tho other
tho fact that for some reason or other the
offscourings of all the nations nearby
pour themselves into it. Italians, Rus
sians, Austrians, Turks, Abyssinians,
Egyptians, Arabs, Spaniards, Frenchmen'
and even a few degraded Britishers mo to
bo found in every corner of this profligate
settlement, al! of the worst types their re
spective nati ma can produce—blacklegs,
swindlers, gamblers, forgers, murderers
and professional beggars, whose arts havo
failed elsewhere.
The dens are innumerable, and as can
well be understood they are always well
patronized. The climate causes men who
take up a resilience nn those burning sandß
to drink to avoid the fever, Which is al
ways a present danger, Somehow the de
graded and vlojous of tho population—or
about four-fifths of the inhabitants—man
age to stand this climate and live year aft
er fear, but the decent people who June to
stay iv Port Sold for business reasons find
it impossible as a general thine; to keep
both sober and healthy. They" havo to
choose between the two, and ie is a com
mon saying that live out of every six men
Who go to live at Port Said die either of
delirium tremens or fever within a few
years.
Tho most of them succumb quickly to
tho temptations of tho place and join In
tho (rrcnt procession of dissipation and
riotous living, Tiie vice ls just the reverse
of gilded, but after a time a man gets used
to that and does not mind it. There are,
it Is true, many respectable pcoplo living
in this town, but they make no impression
on the great unleavened mass.
Tho officials of Port Said cither do not
care or else tbey have determined that it is
better for them financially to tako no no
tice of the evils around them. Certainly
no attempts are being mado to improve
tho ciiy anyway.—San Francisco Exam

ENGLISH SOCIETY.
The Modern Institution Includes Rome-
thiug More Tban Birth und Rank.
What originally constituted a right to
be In good society in England has been
discarded, birth nnd rank count for noth
ing unless they bring With them into tbe
great market of ooeir.ty Other claims to
success, and the best claim to be a leader
of fashionable society in England is to bo
able to provide tho greatest amount of
amusement. Every man and woman aro
BXpocted to contribute their mito to the
common fund of amusement, and thoso
who contribute tho largest amount aro tho
ac.kuowlodged heads of society. It is im
possible that lt should be otherwise, for
agricultural distress—depreciation in tho
Vftlno and rental of land—has broken
down the territorial aristocracy of Eng
land, and the moneyed aristocracy lias
taken its place. Tho growing size of so
ciety, ths lasiury and tiie variety of amuse
ments it off; rs are somo of the indications
that it is based anon wealth, for such a so
ciety could never have come into existence
in a purely oristocratlo and therefore a
poorer community.
Whether it. i 3 an ideal stato or not is
hardly a matter over which we need agi
tato ourselves. That it is much more
amusing, much mora interesting! than
tho society which it has superseded there
can be no doubt. There is less restraint,
mow sense of enjoyment and we got much
better value for our pains and money than
in the days when a cold excluslveness con
stituted the distinctive mark of a good
but very dull society. If, may seem a
somewhat sweeping assertion to say that
there is not such a thing as good society
In this fin dc Steele time, but there is cer
tainly none in the sense in which OUT pred
ecessors understood it, and could they but
look for a moment upou modern English
life they would be amazed. What was sim
ply an aristocratic caste; has boen swept,
away, and the heterogeneous mass which
now calls itself good society is, at auy
rate, clever and sharp enough not to be
beguiled by any will o' tho wisp or to rc
ceivo any one who does not possess some
special qualifications to bs enrolled In its
ranks.—London Saturday Review.

With a better understanding of tho
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before, proper ef
forts—gentle efforts - pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that, so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, tmt simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That ls why It is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health, its beneficial
effects arc due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
orqfans on which it acts, lt is therefore
all important, in order to yet its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the trenuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of K.-iod health,
and the system is regular, laxatuvs or
other remedies arc then not needed, if
afflicted witli any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should hove tin- best, and with t.19
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
