The arrival and presence in this City of | the world’s champion cyclist, Arthur A. | Zimmerman, was the chief item of interest before the wheelmen yesterday. His records and exploits were recounted over and over again, and any one who had a story to relate about the champion found | many interested listeners. All day yesterday Zimmerman was be- sieged with callers, many of whom knew him in the Bast or abroad. He was at his botel most of the day resting after his long a voyage. To-day be and his wife will visit the park and other places of interest.

But no ordinary button would do afraid he would turn over and again assoon as tke bell stopped | ringing. Consequently he put a switch | on the outside of the door and arranged with the janitor to come upand turn the switch ata certain hour everv morning. | That would start. the bell ringing, and it | would not stop until he got up and turned | off the current. He was naturally proud { of his device. He felt that he had solveda N. | great problem. And he had. There was no sleeping 1n that room after the jax hed turned the swilch, for it was s sary to get up and cross the room in order i to stop the noise, | Buthe overlooked one thing. He made | no arrangement for notifying she janitor | when he was not at home, and the first | night that he failed to come home there was trouble. The janitor went to the door at the usval hour in the morning, turned the switch, and then went back to his quarters in the basement, leaving the bell in active operation. Occupants of adjoining apartments were unanimous in the assertion afterward that the bell did not shirk its work that morn- ing. They did not think much of the bell any way, but on ordinary occasions it was shut off after a few minutes of active service, so they had refrained from mak- | ing any complaint. This time, however, it continued its business at the old stand for about haif an hour, and they rebelled. One by one they came to their doors to see what the trounle might be, and later enjoyed themselves by pounding on the door of the amateur electrician’s room and yelling to the supposed occupant to shut | 1t off. ~ Finding that thatdid no good, they talked of hreaking down the door, but finally decided to send for the janitor and | let him do it. The janitor ame and listened to their | indignant protests. He harkened to them patiently while *they advised him to | knock a panel out ot the door with an ax. | Then he quietly reached up and turned | the switch, while half a dozen sheepish- | | | Jooking men crept back into their rooms. However, one of them evidentiy came | out again, for when the amateur elec- | trician returr:ed he found that the switch had been smashed. — Chicago Evening Post. ——————— Thomas Stumps was one of the greatest clothiers in England.

As to his immediate future movements he could not say, yesterday, but thought he might go east the end of this week. He will know better to-day. He is delighted lifornia weather as he hasfound it, and likes San Francisco exceedingly well. The management of the indoor tourna- ment to be held at the Pavilion in March | is desirous of having “Zimmy” stay here and compete in the professional events, | and offered him a large bonus to do so, but e does not think ke will accept. If he does the Pavilion would hardly be large enough to hold the crowds that would go to see the man who has defeated the cham- pion racers of every country where bicycle racing obtains, and who is an American through and through, R. M. Weleh, representative of the Na- tional racing board, yesterday wired the riders who are trying for records, both at Coronado and Santa Monica, that the en- forcement of the new racing rules would be made at once and that any riders ac- cepting employment on racing teams or receiving pay or expenses for riding would at once be declared professionals. All record work has been stopped at both these places, as the men did not know what to do. 3 Mr. Welch, who has just returned from the south, thinks the “action of the Na- | tional assembly in declaring against class B and drawing the amateur line closer than ever is a splendid move. With the League of American Wheelmen in control of both ~amateur and professional racing, and with no intermediate class, the sport should be well conducted and popular. The public has faith in the league to handle it hon- estly, and for the first time in the history of .the sport, professionals will be looked upon with favor, and not considered fakers who might throw a race if it best suited their interests so to do. The class B riders of the past have been given the option of returning to the pure amateur ranks, or joining the profession- als. It is thought that most of the coast men who were in that class will take the backwara step at first, and remain ama- teurs until they see what the crack East- ern riders will do. This will bring into competition all the fast class A and B' men that were, at the coming indoor tournament. The pro- gramme of events will be revised and very few professional races provided for, as it 1s thought the men will be so chary of joininz that class there will notbe suffi- cient entrants to_make the races amount to much, unless Zimmerman rides. As the league has sactioned Sunday track racing in such States as express the desire for it by a mail vote of league mem- bers, Mr. Welch is taking steps 1o find out the feelings of the riders of this State re- garding Sunday meets, and, if they are fa- vored, we may expect to see them quite frequently this year. The entries for the twenty-five-mile handicap road race of the California Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs to be held next Sat- urday closed last night and will be an- nounced to-day. The vmtinfi committee of the League of American Wheelmen called upon the Im- perial Cycling Club last evening and was cordiaily received. The committee will visit the Olympic Cyclers Thursday nizht z‘md the Reliance eelmen on the 26th nst. Charles S, Wells, H. F. Terrill and W. A. Terrill of the Bay City Wheelmen, who are now in San Diego, will start for this City to-morrow, so as to_be here in time for the association road race, in which Wells will compete. The Olympic Club Wheelmen’s home- trainer tournament will commence this evening, and should be quite interesting. Threats Against Lifo. S. L.

THEIR PLA 1§ LIGHT, Poolrooms Stiil Booking in Dark- ness on Ingleside Track Events. ¢ McGovern, a 200 to 1 Shot at the Track, Given a Crack Rider and Held at 15 to 1. The poolrooms or ‘‘commission houses,” as the proprietors of these gambling dens term their places, stiuggled through an- other day of misery yesterday, and, inci- dentally, the players also. There was no relaxation of vigilance on the part of the track management, and the information, if | any, that was smuggled from the track was 50 slow in reaching the roomsasto be prac- | tically worthless in a business way. The gamblers have about exhausted their re- sources in an endeavor to obtain the scratched horses and betting and are quietly resting on their arms awaiting the reopening of the Bay District track. There is no end of grumbling and com- plaint among the pairons of these dens about the sharp practices resorted to by the proprietors to fleece them of their coin. Every day knots of men can be seen standing on the edge of the sidewalk or in doorways in the vicinity of these places engaged in earnest conversation, and in- variably the topic isabout not ‘getting a run for their money.” The question is often asked, knowing the questionable methods of the gamblers, why do these men risk tlieir money in the hands of the tricksters? Not a few of them are engaged in various business pursuits and " can ill afford the time and money they risk. The gambling spirit is inherent. = The temptation is thrown in their way and tales of plungers on the turf winning thousands cause them | to try their luck. In many cases it begins with a dollar and fickle fortune smiles on the player. The next time a largeramount is ventured, which this time results in dis- aster. In desperation the employer’s money is then used 1o recoup the loss, with invariably the old story of shame, disgrace and the penitentiary as the clos- ing scene. At best zambling on horse races is most uncertain, but as conducted in the pool- rooms it is doubly so. Of forty-nine jock- eys that rode in the different racesat In- gleside yvesterday the poolrooms had posted twenty of that number wrong. On McGovern, a starter in the hurdle race, a 200 to 1 shot at the track, they had as rider Bob Cairns, one of the ablest of the stee- plechase riders, with 15 to 1 offered against him. The horse wasridden by Rudolph, a jockey of little reputation, and it cer- tainly looks as though the jockey posted and the false odds quoted was done to de- ceive the patrons of these resorts and con- vey the impression that a good thing was to be sprung. Riders were incorrectly given in six dif- ferent instances in the opening race, with riders and odds given on two scratched horses. The odds quotea were also ridie- ulously lower than at the track, Ida Sauer, a 150 to L chance, being held at 15 to 1. Messinger & Co. were “‘out of i 2 during the second event, with its twenty ‘DHILADELPHIA SHOE cO, the best made, and itis well to understand, first, that the value of an elec- tric belt isin the strength of elec- tricity it gives into your body. This® depends on the battery used.

With care it lasts five years. It has eighteen powerful elements, is perfectly insulated, fland possesses what no other electric belt made has, a regulator, so that you can regulate it while it is on the body. : IT HAS MANY CURES The best proof of the value of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt ig fts cures. When you see the names of well known people in the papers every day, people who say they have been cured by it, you know that it has cured these people and it will cure you. “It cured me of sciatica in § days,” says John K.

NEW TO-DAY. ‘GladnSs Comes With a better understanding of the 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, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- 1y removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its heneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on whichit acts. Itis therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine article, | which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep- utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended tothe most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely | usedand gives most general satisfaction. $2.35.
