At no time in the history of New York city have there been so many deaths from pneumonia as now. | a8 many deaths from this cause are occurring than for the last five years. This is something terribie. Dr. John T. Nagie, registrar of vital statistics, | Says that this increase is due to the influence of | grip. He says that grip may be called epidemic | just m at in the majority of cases grip is | & vital, contributing cause to pneumonia and all dangerous pulmonary troubles. At this time of the year when we are changing over from winter | tospring, there ts always a low order of vitality; a | reaction from the strains of the season. ‘The blood does not flow so full nor rapidiy; the strength is less. For this reason grip has @ much better chance than at any other season. ‘This is @ time of year wnen people need to be careful and too much importance cannot be placed upon Le gm, pe blood warm and in circulation. ‘o@ must bring about a reaction if you wisa to avoid the pain and dangers of these troubles in tume. ‘There is but one way by which @ reaction cam be brought ‘about and that Ie the use of a pure stimulant, preferably whiskey.

The two well-known young newspaper men, Messrs. Walter Howard and Ed Durant, will leave Atlanta, Ga., on a bicycle race to Chicago this afternoon. Howard starts at 3 o'clock. Just two hours later, at 5 o'clock, Durant will make the start from the same place and from the word go he will be in the bicycling mateb. Neither of the men is overconfident, but both are determined to win, and to add to the inter- est neither knows the route that will be taken by the other. In this way it willbe race which requires both endurance and general- ship. Waile the two participants started out to make the race to Chicago merely for the pur- pose of settling which was the better man*of the two, their friends have taken the matter in hand and have raised a purse of $150, one-third of whicl. will go to the loser. ‘The papers of agreement have been signed up and there is no sich thing as « failure to start, The two bicyclists will send daily tul- letins to the Atlanta papers, and the incidents along the route will be fully given. “I appreciate the fact,” said Mr. Howard, “that the trip will be a long and difficult one and it is something of a stupendous one, but then both Mr. Durant and myself are young and Vigorous and should be able to enjoy the hard- ships of the journey in order to enjoy its pleasures and to possess the valuable experience which it will afford.” “How long do you think will be required to make it?” he was asked. “That depends largely upon the weather we encounter. If the weather is fair and the roads are in good condition the trip should be made in from ten to fourteen days, Of course it will bea contest in which endurance and grit will play a large part.”” Yes,” said Mr. Durant, “I am confident of winning and expect to come into Chicago a day ahead of Mr. Howard. I know that there are a lot of chances against me; my wheel may break down, or I might be taken sick, but all this is conjecture, and Mr. Howard is as likely to bo the victim as I. “I haven't fully decided on @ number of minor details, but I will have everything arranged by Tuesday aftornoon at 5 o'clock, and Iwill start without fail. I am in fairl good condition, and I don’t feel the least bit nervous as to the outcome. I beheve that the trip will occupy about tweive days.” “ONLY MONEY TALKS.” How Jack McAuliffe Regards Those That Wish to Meet Him, Des Mores, Iowa, April 25.—Jack McAu- liffe in an interview yesterday stated when asked what he will do with Stanton Abbott, the English lightweight, said: “I recognize Abbott as the champion lightweight of England.
