an THE CEDAR RAPIDS EVENING GAZETTE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1902. 5 TO BE AN UPHEAVAL PROGRAM THE AMERICAN BICYCLE TRUST. Many Makes of Wheels to be Eliminated From the Market and 'Seven Varieties WIll be Manufactured by the Trust for Sale-Wheeling in Cedar Rapids. If newspaper reports are true, the American bicycle trust will during the coming season eliminate many of the different makes of wheels which have been manufactured in this country for the past decade, and will also endeavor to revive the custom of cycle riding for pleasure, whien seems to be gradually being abandoned. It will 'also coneentrate its distributing lessening the number of depositories.

more wheels will be ridden in is probable that as many 'Cedar Rapids this coming season as in any past year. The condition of the principal streets is such that the bicydie may be used in Cedar Rapids to great advantage in a business way. The bicycle club will likely be resuscitated and among a large number of wheelmen there will be some unity of action in direction of racing events or social entertainThe information given in the following is from the Chicago paDe During the past fifteen years in which the bicycle of the present day with its chainless gear, cushion frame, pneumatic tires and coaster brake, has been evolved from the style "safety" bieycle the still older "high frame. With all these improvements in the contsruction of wheels which durability and lightness have been combined, the riding of wheels for pleasure or as a fad has reached its height and has been oll decline some time, until today about the only use made of the bicycle is as a means of conveyance. With the great increase in the sale of wheels caused by the rapid spread of the fad of bicycle riding, numerous factories started all over the country and the variety of wheels manufactured increased 30 rapidly became impossible to informed as to their worth.

This increase in number of varieties of wheels manufactured gave than excellent opportunity for turning out a cheap grade of work this manner the market was soon filled with all sorts and kinds of wheels, of more or durability. The objeet of the bicycle trust is to eliminate many of these different makes of wheels and combine all the good points of the different makes, turn out a sinall variety from which their customers may choose a good reliable wheel. The man who has his particular favorite among the dozens of makes of bicycles, will be lucky this year if his favorite is in the list on the market. The American bicycle trust has decided that too many names spoil a child, curtailed list of eligible wheels to seven. This means that, out of the many styles of wheels formerly made by the trust, only the Columbia, Cleveland, Crescent, Imperial, Monarch, bler and Tribune will be made.

Among the many, manufacture of which will be discontinued, are the Andrae, Barnes, Orient, Sterling and Stearns. Of course, there will be thousnads of wheels manufactured by smaller firms not in the trust. Two of the large firms outside the trust will make the National and the Regal, the latter being the old Stearns. The trust' will have a new distributing system, having only three centers--New York, Chicago and Denver. They out coteries of racing men "through the country during the attempt to The bicycle last year, while revive the an intercon, fast riding.

good, was only gauged by the demand. Nobody buys a bicycle nowadays, who does not need one. The element of pleasure in riding a wheel seems to have been forgotten, though the modern chainless with cushion frame and brake is as far ahead of the style wheel as the latter was ahead of the still older "high frame."

"The Burgomaster" with its Indians, cadet girls, rainy daisies, tough girls, college boys, bathing girls and brutes, is one of the most important bookings, announced for an appearance here. The classification of this piece has caused the newspaper critics throughout country, much thought and worry inasmuch as it borders on light opera, tingles with farce comedy, is extremely spectacular and cleverly admits of many novel specialties.

At any rate it suits the public and pleases its management. "The Convict's Daughter' which will be the attraction at Greene's Saturday matinee and night, is one of the cleanest, and most heart-reaching plays produced. The most thrilling episode is where the innocent a convict scales the prison wIll and train on which escapes. The rest capes on the top, of a passing freight of the play is -simplicity, human 'and pathetic. and well blended without a single objectionable feature.

There is no one killed during the entire play, and the bringing in of a hero in the humble guise of a tramp affords an opportunity for the introduction of lots of original wit and humor, which relives the more pathetic parts. The scenic effects are on a lavish scale, and the acting company the strongest ever brought together for this class of play. ROBERT BURN'S BIRTHDAY. Today the One Hundred and Forty- Third Anniversary. This is in the one hundred and forty-third anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, that child of nature whose genius is appreciated wherever the English language is spoken.

There is to be no assembling this year of those of Scotch blood to commemorate the birthday anniversary, admirers here and elsewhere of the poet will not neglect his memory in thought. Before he was 16 years of age Burns began rhyming, his inspiration being a sweet sonsie lass," who had been associated with him in the labors of the harvest field. Burns seems to have been most strongly influenced by what he calls the "adorable half of the human species," this influence showing itself many poems so full of sentiment. His works, however, are also marked by patriotism, friendship, conviviality and the rural life of the Scotch peasantry. His susceptibility to the tender passion afterward was the cause his principal misfortunes.

In proportion as he cast off restraint he seems to have lost his reverence for religion. genius, though, has survived works have a permanent place' in English literature. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Description of Land Changing Owners and Prices Paid Therefor. E.

SAW MANY BAD FIGHTS SERGEANT WINTERS RETURNS FROM THE PHILIPPINES. Relates the Experiences of Campaigns Against the Natives and Gives His Impressions of Their Character and Country -Marched With Gen. Young.

Sergeant George E. Winters of Co. Twenty- regular infantry, has arrived in this city from the Philippine islands, and is at the home of his sister, Mrs. E. S.

De Witt, 213 North Eleventh street. He arrived the transport Warren with General Funston, and is much broken in health, being under the care of medical help since his arrival. He is improving nicely however. Mr. Winters expects make this city his home after his four years of service in Cuba and the Philippines.

He has much to tell that would fill pages, of the hardships they have endured. They lived on caribou and rice for forty-eight days while out on one of the hardest campaigns on the islands. Sergeant Winters attended guard over Aguinaldo, who spends his time in a building as large as St. Luke's hospital here. He has his family with him.

He is not allowed out of the grounds unless a commissioned officer attends him. Will Howard, whose recent letter was published in a local paper, and the who same returned also with recently, Mr. ters, and young men have thesiment had the same experiences in the Twenty-second infantry. This regiment had many battles and skirmishes. Company I was at San Antonia when on garrison duty.

There were thirty-five men in the command when attacked by a large insurgent force. They were in a vent and held there more than an hour, all the time under fire, until reinforced by troop of the Fourth cavalry, stationed at San Isidro. The following extract was taken from The Army and Navy Journal, the official report of Brig. Young, on his expedition to northern Luzon, around the flank the rear of Aguinaldo's army, has andich been received at the war department, and pays a well deserved tribute to the infantry battalion which accompanied A the of the cavalry (Companies -second Twenty Balances battalion. Young says: "In my northern march, to get around Aguinaldo's forces I took with my cavalry only one battalian of infantry-Ballance's Twenty-second-as it was necessary for me to move with great rapidity and I knaw this battalion would keep up with me where I led my cavalry and the scouts, of which my advanced guard was composed.

The Twenty-second moved in scouts. I especially selected Baladvance, preceded by cond screen of lance's battalion of the Twenty-second regulars, as I knew their mettle and training. I was fully cognizant of the dangers of war, but did not anticipate all the obstacles and hardships, in the way of tropical deluges, mud and water, swimming, rafting of innumerable. streams, most of which were not on the maps; flounder through swamps, carry intrenchments, ford a river. his battalion was always ready and performed their duties without a murmur although many of its members were at times i without food, shelter, blankets or shoes and the firing discipline was most excellent.

I consider the Twenty-second battalion the finest one I've ever seen in the American army, It skirmished and fought through miles of mud and water and jungles ahead of my cavalry. It did most remarkable work in the face of the greatest difficulties, when it cut loose from everything but its guns and ammunition and fought its way to the very heart of the enemy's country where it was liable at any time to run into a force ten times its strength. It achieved a success which must ever serve as an example to military students of what can be accomplished by a small military force properly disciplined. I believe its successful march to Rosales caused the evacuation of Bantista by insurgent force several days before any other troops were near, had as much to do with the, disintegration of Aguinaldo's army as any other event. At the time of its hazardous and daring march from Humigan to Rosales it was not known how demoralized Aguinaldo's army was and some thought the Twenty-second battalion had gone to destruction and were anxious about them.

I had no says Gen. Young, "for I knew they would be successful even if they encountered Aguinaldo's entire army, I hope the officers of this battalion will receive the reward which the valuable service they have rendered to their country has earned. The magnificent fearless and rapid work of all the officers and soldiers of my command who enjoyed a dash into the jaws of death, as the recompense of a forced march which would have barred Christian's progress in his pilgrimage. They clung to the main purposes for which the campaign was inaugurated and pursued the course laid out for them with a tenacity and a physical endurance which, I think, far exceeded the highest expectations or belief of their country, as they certainly did that of their general, S. B.

M. Young. The Twenty-second was also through the campaign with General Lawton. Company I has participated in the following battles and skirmishes: The battle: of Pasig, March 13, 1899; battle of Pateros, March 18, 1899; battle of Malabon. March 25, 1899; battle of Malinta hill, March 26, 1899; capture of Malolos, March 31, 1899; constant exposure to the enemy's fire at Pasay, April 9 to 19, 1899; battle of Novaliches, April 22, 1899; battle of Bustos, May 2, 1899; battle of San Isidro, May 17, 1899; battle of San Fernando de N.

May 18, 1899; battle of Cabiao, May 19, 1899; skirmishes of Matonia, Oetober 1, 1899: Libutad, October 18, 1899; battle of San Isidro, October 19, 1899; battle of Talvatin River. October 26, 1899; skirmish at Santa Barbara de San Antonia, May 9, 1900; battle of Balubad, June 11, 1900; two night attacks on San Antonia, June 13, 1900; battle of Mt. Corona, July 29, 1900. In the north of Luzon all is quiet except that occasionally bands of ladrones cause trouble and they are being rapidly broken up by the American troops. On the southern islands and islands of Samar the hostilities are still in progress.

The islands are very rich. The products sugar, hemp, rice, tobacco, which are raised in a large quantity. The fruit crop consists of bananas and oranges, very much inferior to our fruit in Unele Sam's country. Their mode of living in the provinces is in houses of bamboo and nipa, built high from the ground, having two rooms. They live on fish, rice and caribou.

Some take pride in their education, while many more will never be enlightened beyond the ignorance they now possess, which is mostly their uses of the bolo. A TRIBUTE TO ELLIOTT Former Three-1 Leaguer is Given a Fine Send off. Local fans remember Elliott, the Rockford pitcher. He has gone to the Milwaukee league team and a paper of that town says of the acquisition: "Manager Clingman of the Milwaukee club made another ten-strike when he- cast his little net and landed Pitcher Claude Elliott, a Wisconsin boy, who made such a fine record the past season in the I. I.

I. league, where he pitched for the Rockford club. Manager Clingman announces that Elliott has been signed to a Milwaukee con contract and that the big fellow will his share of regular work during the season of 1902 for the Brewers. Elliott pitched thirty-five games in the I. I.

I. league last season, winning twentyeight of them and having a batting average of over 300. He also played about twenty-five games in the outfield, He was thought of SO well by such managers as Ned Hanion and Bid McPhee that they offered Hugh Nicol $1,000 for his release, but before Hugh business with the big fellow southed Milwaukee club of the American league stepped in and signed him along with Dave Innes. Jim Hart of the Chicago club also offered $1,000 for his release and had tried to sign him after learning that' the Milwaukee club had been shifted. to St.

Louis, claiming then that his original contract was void. Instead of signing with any of the National league clubs Pitcher Elliott preferred to give sthe Milwaukee club (now the Louis club) first chance to sign him to a new contract. but the association mission from Henry Killilea to do here, succeeded in getting perbusiness with him and the result was that Manager Clingman landed him. Elliott will get a nice bonus for his work." MAJOR HOLMES DEAD. Veteran of the Civil War Expires in the Clarinda Hospital.

Communicatiou Received In the City From the American Park and Outdoor Art Association -How Depot Grounds May be Made Attractive. Aesthetic considerations have led to the inauguration of a general movement in this country looking to the beautifying of neglected spots in cities and more particularly the tions. To accomplish the latter an premises re surrounding the railway staorganization been formed known as the American Park and Outdoor Art association and it in a quiet way has been doing some effective work. As might be expected the headquarters of this association are in Boston or at least that is the home of been to railway comsecretested general plan has panies of the country for the improvement of. the grounds surrounddepots, many of which are maintained in the most unattractive condition.

They can be made beauty spots. The following communication concerning this matter has been addressed the railway companies in this city fin the of enlisting the aid of the local the general officers of the roads: "The constantly increasing travel of Americans both at home and abroad, and of foreigners in this country, and the steady development of landscape work in parks, cemeteries and private grounds, growing out of a more intelligent and cultivated taste in such matters, leads this association to respectfully suggest to the railway managers that they consider the question of beautifying grounds, buildings and bridges about railway stations and terminals by careful planting. Many roads have already begun such improvements. We might mention a dozen companies whose station grounds and bridges have been improved by ornamental planting, and who encourage their ployes to make the property of the road' as pleasing as possible to the public eye. "Unsightly buildings and sheds can, in time, be entirely obscured and the grounds about the station can easily be made attractive and artistic at small expense by the planting of native trees and flowering shrubs.

The use of annuals for station grounds though considered by many more tastefed, as and they effective, involve is not constant recomcare, and are more expensive than trees and shrubbery. The latter requires no particular care or attenafter the first few years. are many varieties of shrubs which blossom successively from early spring till late autumn, and give great variety of color, both in leaf and blossom, through the entire season. The annual meeting of this association will be held in Boston next August. It would be very satisfacwe might be able to report at that time; that a large number of railroads had agreed to take up and carry forward the work of beautifying their station grounds and terminals.

might be well to inform this association of any work you have already undertaken, in this line, and of the benefits which have been derived therefrom your company, its employes and patrons. We shall be glad to receive responses to this circular letter and unless instructed die the contrary we shall give publicity to proposed plans of the roads. If information should be desired from this association we shall be glad to answer all inquiries made of us." The surroundings of the Cedar Rapids de depots are quite artistic when compared with those in many cities. A fine setting is given station by the, park opposite which is maintained the expense of the city. Doubtless suggestions might be made whereby the environment of the railway depots might be considerably improved in an aesthetic sense but the way they are situated here there is very little or no room for arboreal ornamentation.
