Pope, the president of the Pope Manufacturing Compan: and the Pioneer of the good roads movement, wa in the city a few days ago, partly on busi- ness and partly on pleasure. He was the guest of J. Hart Brittain. He js now independently rich, and all due to the bicycle. He is not the only man who has made money out of the bicycle business, but he is without a doubt the man who has made more money out cf the manufacture of cycles than any other in- dividual. Twenty years ago he was a shoemaker, but he had higher ideas. He Was impressed with the bicycle, and saw a bright future for it. There was an cld sewing machine factory located in Hart- ford, and he went to the concern and got them to make twenty-five bicycles for him. His friends laughed at him, and told him that he would never be able to dispose cf that number of machines. He thought that he could, and he acted on his own belief. The twenty-five wheels were soon dis- posed of, and he went back to the same place and got fifty more bicycles made for him. He sold these in quick order, and had 100 more manufactured. His friends, incredulous at first, were now convinced that he was right, and with the sale of the last order Colonel Pope organized ihe Pope Manufacturing Company. A reporter of The Star had quite a chat with the colorel, and found him *o be ready and willing to talk about bi ‘ycles and anything else. He was primed and loaded with infermation, and rattled o statistics at a great rate. Like most cther men interested in a particular business he Was firmly convinced that thera was only one wheel on the market that could be call- eda bicycle and that was worth the-morey asked for it. He hardly saw how com- panies other than his own could exist and turn out bicycles. No Change in the Wheel. “I hardly think that there will be any change in the construction of bicycles for some time to come,” said Col. Pope. ‘The acme of construction seems to have about been reached, and the attention of the manufacturers is turned to improvement in minor details, and the using of the best material. This tends to make a model bi- cycle, and under the present condition of affairs I see no room for improvement. The present style of bicycle will be used until something that is found to be better turns up.” As to the price of the waeel for next sea- son, Col. Pope was inclined to the belief that there would be a general reduction bh most ali of the manufacture The prices of the wheels turned out by company would be $100, $75, $60 and £0. “There are buz few wheels on the marke:,” coatinued Col. Pope, “that are worta the price asked for them. I know more than one munu- fecturer who is using the cheapest of ma- terial in the construttioa of his wheels, and yet he labels them high class, and sells them at the price of the leading wheels. This is a fraud, and will propably last for a few years, but it will not con- Unue for ever. The public can be fooled for a short while, but it cannot be fooled all of the time. The merit in the construc- tion of bicycles is sure to become known, and therein lies the reputation. The gen— eral price of most of the wheels for next year will be perhaps $75, though the price may graduate all the way up to $1 “The bicycle business has grown to be a great industry,” continued he. “Last year there were over 130 failures of bicycle con- cerns in the country, and next season will witness the failure of a good many others. There are small plants which do not have the facilities and the means to enable them to successfully compete with the larger firms. The margin of profit is not suf- ficient at the cut rate to enable them to place their goods out on the market. Demand for Wheels. “The model of most of the wheels for 1897 has been out for some time. Our models for next season have been out and tried and tested, and we are perfectly sat- isfied with the result. We hired thirty men to do nothing but ride the whecis which will be sold next year. . Each man rode fifty miles a day, through rain and shine, mud and dust, and yet the wheels showed no defects. We actually paid the men to break our bicycles, and judging this to be a thorough enough test the ma- chines will be put on the market without What do I think about the sales of bicycles for next year? I think that they will even exceed those of the season just past. They have got to be. With the eduction in price, the profits are corre- spondingly lowered, and consequently more wheels have to be turned out and sold to equal the profits of the companies for the present season. This is the argument that confronts the manufacturers and is something which will cause them to use every means to sell their goods. As I stated before, there are some concerns that cannot withstand the competition, and they will go under, but the total number of failures will not be as great as last year, in my opinion. The season just past was one of weeding out, and the process will be continued on a reduced scale for next The chaff will be separated from Wheels in the Army. In regard to the equipment of the army with bicycles Col. Pope was very enthus- jestic. “It will not be long before the bi- cycle branch will become a feature, just the same as the cavalry branch. While it is true that a bicycle cannot be ridden in every place where a horse can be used, yet there are special occasions when the wheel can figure more prominently than anything else. In courier duty it is much better than the horse. Better time can be made, and with less noise and exertion, while in a test of endurance between the brute and the human the former stands no show. Gen. Miles, who is a personal friend of mine, has been very anxious to have the bicycles introduced on a large scale in the army, and his efforts will un- doubtedly result successfully. “The good roads movement continues in the ability and diplomacy of ¢ eral Lee. That official, Mr. Cle * | had done valuable work in Cub: added, “Yes, he is that and much 5 [MR PRITCHARD'S CHANCES “I think it reasonable to say that Sena- tor Pritchard will succeed himseif. sald Representative Linney of North Carolina, to a Star reporter this morning. can no other result, and I do not believe the: will be any other result. I do not bell that he will be asked by anybody to pledge himself to vote with the sil men or change his present views in the least Senator Pritchard enjoys the confidence and respec: of all fair-minded men in North Carolina, irrespective of party ies. He has gore far beyond expectations in his pres- ent position. I think the ability, adroit- ness and statesmanrship he has displayed in the Senate, especially in the debate with Hill, has gained for him a warm position in the hearts of all the people of his stat Populist. Bou § » Support Him, “I think Senator Pritchard will get enough populist votes when the legisla ture meets to insure his election. The recognition of his worth will induce many Populists to vote for him. As a matt fair play and common justice the popul are bound to support him, whether x agrecs with them on the money question or not. If for no other reason than that the populiets of North Carolina are not ingrates they will vote for him. Some the best men in the state belong to the populist party. They are just men, too They know that five populisis will be heard in the next house from North Carolina They know thet five state offices now be- long to the populist party. They know that Pritchard's efforts were herculean in procuring this result, of which every popu- list in the state is proud. Now for a pop- ulist to hesitate what he will do touch ing Pritchard's claims to re-election Is, in my opinion, absurd and ridiculous.” The opinion of Representative Linney as to the re-election of Senator Pritchard is shared by h nearly every republican in Wasbingten. It is claimed today that Sen- ator Pritchard has twenty-three populist votes pledged to him, and that this is con- siderably beyond the number necessary to elect him. To Divide the Republican Vote. The populists ere silent while these claims are being made. The populists, it 1s said are now trying to divide the reput between Pritcherd and some oth lican, but they cannot find a man who will openly oppose Pritchard. Every man who has been talked to on the subject declares his name shall rot he considered so lone as there is even a possibility that Pri ard can win. The populist leaders who want to defeat Pritchard now say they fear Pritchard will promise federal offices to populists to secure their support. They are afraid of this. They are, it is unde stood, writing letters all over North Caro- line, chargirg that undue influences at to be used to re-elect Pritchar: — on GENERAL ARBITRATION. Negotiations for a Treaty With ¢ Britain Will Be It is predicted that the negotiations } tween the United States and Great Brit- ain for a treaty of ge arbitration w be concluded within the next three weeks An agreement is said to have been prac- ally reached on the following points: First—A term of five years from the date of the exchange of ratifications which the treaty shall be operative. Second—A court of arbitration of six members, three to be drawn from the ju diciary of the United States and three from the judiciary of Great Britain, Third—The submission to this tribunal of all differences between the two nations now pending or to arise within the period of five years, this not to include the Bering Sea question or the Venezuelan ques: now before independent commissions to include the question of the bound within ion, but ry between Alaska and Brit'sh North Amer- ca. The completion of this treaty will mark an important epoch in the relations be- tween the two English-speaking nations, and in the judgment of those who h been most identified with its consumma- tion it will be the most important doc ment of a peaceful character in the history of their mutual dealings. ‘ Unless some unexpected obstacle should arise in Congress there is every reason to expect that the treaty will be made ef- fective before the close of the present ad- ministration. The reason for limiting the treaty to five years ts to put the measure on fair trial after which, if the results are as good as anticipated, it can be renewed or made per- manent. —— GONE FOR A WEEK'S SPORT.

The President met with a hearty re: tion on his arrival at Richmond. A cr of several hundred persons had gather at tre Union depot to welcome him After leaving Richmond the doors of his private car were closed and the President and his three companions sat down to sup- per. There were a number of people at the depot at Petersburg, but the President did not show himself, and the crowd was much disappointed. “There were no inci- dents on the trip from Washington to Petersburg; in fact, the window curtains of the car were drawn and the I Jent did not show himself until he reached Rich- mond. To a newspaper man who chatted with the President or. the road from Wasting- ton he expressed the highest confiden onstl G An- n- eland sa‘d, By the way.” inquired the President, a mer twinkle in his eyes, “where is ee now?” Continuing the discussion, the President laughingly remarked that so far he could see the interviewers had never cx- tracted anything from the consul general in ajl of their reports of conversations with him. Referring to a public: Fitz Lee was referred to gamest men in the cou: ion in which one of the . the President “By the way,” he said, other mighty game man here in Virginia, and that is Gov. O’Ferrall, who bolted the Chicago ticket and, in defiance of all the bitter- attacks made by the democratic papers of Virginia, refused to give counte- nance to Bryan.” The President was evidently greatly pleased with the governor's loyalty to prin- ciple and marifested his satisfaction :n re- ferring to bim. Elected a Woman. At the annual meeting of the Christian Endeavor Society of Memorial U. B. Church, held Wednesday evening, for the election of officers, Miss Annie A.

According to the discipline of the church, the president of this society shall be a member of the official board of the church, and a pleasant surprise awaits the twelve male members of the board at their next session. Miss Annand is an Street and Alley Cleaning. superintendent of the street and
