THE SOUTH-BEND DAILY TRIBUNE, AUGUST 3. 1894. ROMANTIC STORY FROM LAPORTE. President, J. M.

In an ad joining county there lives a jolly, rol- icking man, who has succeeded by hard work and good management in accumulating a comfortable amount of this world's goods. He is known as a big-hearted, square shouldered man of sin, and he makes no pretense to being anything more than honest, upright and manly in his dealings with the world, and his ability to look everybody tquarely in the face. In his younger days he sowed a large crop of wild oats, and among other things he became the father of an illegitimate daughter. The mother and child left the country and he soon lost all trace of them, but he settled down to steadier habits and good citizenship and steadily accumulated property As soon as he was able to take care of the child he began a search for her and kept it up continuously for more than 20 years, when he was rewarded by learning tnat she was living in the woods in northern Michigan. He immediately went to her and made himself known.

She was married and he found her living in a log hut with a family of children, and with a scarcity of the necessities of life. She was very poor, but was striving to do her best and met him cheerfully and uncomplainingly. A frugal meal was prepared by her hands and when they were seated at the table she told him she "was in the habit of asking a blessing," and. proceeded to do so in a man ner so eloquent in its simplicity that it touched the big man's heart, and made him feel proud of her and doubly glad he had found her. They then bad a long talk in he learned of her misfortunes and she of his successes and efforts to find her.

Then he of- feredx her and her family a good home and comforable surroundings. if they would go with him to his place of residence. This they decided to do. and he gave her ample money to clothe herself and children, and left to attend to his home affairs, with an understanding that at a certain date he was to meet her in Laporte and take her to the new and comfortable home which he would in the meantime pre pare for her. They, met here accord ing to agreement! and many extra things were purchased for her comfort, after which they left for home as a happy rather and daughter ever were.

Who will say this man's heart is not in the right place whatever his minor faults may be? THE "GOOD OLD TIMES What a Day's Labor Would Purchase Ninety Years Ago, Washington Book Chronicle. Anent the matter of prices, we have before us an original bill rendered by Blount Morgan against Thomas Brickell, in 1815, for sundry articles of mechandise. As the ordinary pay of a mechanio at that time was about SI. 50 per day, it will be seen that at least a week's labor was required to buy a "fine hat," and one day 'a labor to buy a muslin cravat. A day's labor at present will buy about 100 muslin cravats.

The items in the bill are as follows: To 1 fine 110.00 1 vest $2.55, 1 yd. cambric 11.25 3.75 1 Bandanna handkerchief 1.75 i yd. linen cambric at f5 per 2.25 i pair anoea z.w 1 pair gloves l.fO cravat. 1.50 And yet some people are prone to cry out for the "good old timea," before lucifer matches were known, and when workmen spent from 12 to 6 hours at the bench, and raised families of from. 12 to 16 children on $1.50 per day.

The story is told at Terre Haute that Mr. Debs contemplated making a picturesque and fiery speech, on the occasion' of his appearance last Sunday night, and he would have done so but for the interposition of his attorney, who made a rush from Chicago to head i him off.

The Chicago Eastern Illi nois railway is the direct line from Chi cago to Terre Haute, but, there was no tram in time to reach Mr. Debs before the hour appointed for the speech, and the attorney dare not trust the wire. For that reason he went by the Illinois Central to Effingham, and thence via the Vandalia to Terre Haute. Acting under his advice, Mr. Debs denied everything and was very temperate in what he had to say.

The story is also current at Terre Haute that the governor has struck a pointer, showing that I at least six weeks before the great strike against Pullman was inaugurated a conspiracy was In progress of incubation. About the time referred to, atj least several weeks prior to the beginning of the trouble, President Debs and Vice-President Howard made si speech at the Empire theatre, Indianapolis, during which Mr. Howard boasted what had been accomplished in breaking down Mr. Mackey, a millionaire, who was opposed to labor and he then said that George M. Pullman's turn would come It is claimed that after Howard made this boast that representatives of the A.

R. U. organized a branch union among the employes of Pullman, and almost immediately thereafter signs of the great revolt began to be manifest.

Cycling- In South Bend Looc Ago Dates Back Into the 8eTntls LMff.reoc lUtwetn That Time and tli Present Period. They were once called "Them bicycle fellers." At present they re joice under the name of They formerly had no rights at all ard had to be satisfied witn wnat privileges a long suffering public granted them; now thythave equal rights with other vehicles and the sport has come to be one recognized by alL Probably the greatest factor in this change in the po sition of the wheelmen, was the intro duction of the safety bicycle. The old high wheel was not available for busi ness purposes, neither was it adapted to the middle aged nor dignified as means of recreation. The likelihood of a header" was.

too strong for the dig nified business man to risk. But with the advent 01. tne safety all was changed. At first it was looked upon with contempt by those who had con quered the high wheel. Soon, however, its superior advantages began to tell and it now stands "monarch of all it surveys," in the cycling line at least.

Cycling in South Bend dates back! to some time in the seventies. Just when it really began is a hard thing to dis cover. It' is probable that the first bicycle was ridden in this city by Frank- Hatch about 1879. The boom did not spread rvery rapidly, and there were not over 25 wheels In. the city prior to 1887.

i In May of that year, the late Frank P. Carmany introduced the Victor safety bicycle. I The new wheel took well and the craze has been spreading ever since. The hrst tandem seen here, was ridden by Mr. and Mrs.

Carmany some time later. Dr. A. F. Schafer was the first safety rider to coast hands off; Dr.

F. O. Conklin took the first header from a safety. South Bend's first cycling club was organized January 5, 1890, with the following officers: Captain, Leigh ton Pine; first lieutl, A. P.

Turner; second J. It. Hatighton; color bearer, G. Pfleger; treasurer, L. Tong; sec retary, Schuyler Colfax.

There were 35 active members. The club held a number of most en joyable runs, banquets, picnics, and finally disbanded August 9, 1892 The club did much good both in the way of advancing the sport of wheel in? and in improving the condition of the roads of the surrounding country. Cycling reached its present and most substantial basis in South Bend, how ever, when the South Bend Cycling club was organized. Late in the summer of 1891 an effort was made by the younger ana more enmusiasuc element among the wheelmen! of the city to form second cycling club. or various reasons the effort was no more than an effort and the organization failed to materialize.

In February of the next year a new attempt was made under different leaders This was, in every way, suc- cessful and the club still flourishes under the management of the same en thusiasts who (signed the first consti tution. Two meetings were called in Camper Stedman's store. These re sulted in a permanent organization which was culminated on February 22 1892. The front suite of rooms in the Varier block on south Michiea.n street biocJcon souta micnigan street 7 with 16 members. The first corps officers were: President, K.

The first event ot importance which occurrea aiier me ornnizauoa oi lae a. i club was the first ol the two relay rides. The message Ueneral Miles in Chicago to General Howard in New York, passed through here about 10 o'clock on the night of May 18, 1892. It was a dark rainy night but a large crowd gathered around the Oliver house to see the message pass through. It had been raining ior weeks and the roads were knee deep in mud.

A. J. Nicole of Chicago, rode in from New Carlisle with jthe message, Harry L. Hull and J. M.

Singler of this city, accompanying him. Nicolet rode a wheel loaned him by Frank F. Bough and Rough walked in six miles with Nlcolet'a broken machine. The message was! carried from here to Goshen by N. H.

Van Sicklen, ot Chicago. W. C. Thorne, of the same city, accompanied him. A number of Chicago riders were present and the dub entertained them at a banquet at Nickel's that night.

Upon August 20 of that year, the first annual race meet was held. It was very successful and served to put the club firmly on ita feet. The second relay ride passed through this city on the night of May 1, 1893. Its route was from east to west. The message was rom Governor Russell, of Massachusetts', to Governor Altgeld, of Illinois.

The members of the South Bend club covered quite an exten sive territory. Harry L. Hull and L. F. Ryer rode from Ligonier to Benton.

H. Rough and S. L. Fry rode from Benton to Goshen. At Elkhart South Bend riders again took the message.

F. Rough and J. M. Eel-ler brought the message into this city about 11 p. Just as they arrived the rain began to fall and it was pouring down when the fresh relay started.

It was composed of II. A. Githens, of Chi cago, and J. M. Singler, and Wal ter Deffenbaugh, of this city.

Githens reached New Carlisle with the message. The other two riders walked in with broken wheels. On July 2S of that year the second annual race meet was held. It was even more successful than, its predecessor. One of the finest fields ever seen at a race meet turned out.

It included all but a few of the cracks, The races were close and exciting and the crowd large, i The third annual race meet was held on July 4 of the present year. In point of numbers this tournament sur passed both of the others, although the field was not quite so good as it was in '93. The meet was a success and will be repeated next year, although the date has not been set. The club was incorporated on Feb. 19, 1894.
