Edna Goodrich Deiiies That Actor Has Followed Her Around World ;and Says Her Thoughts Are in Far West at Present. " The swinging pendulum of fashion lias again - brought the bicycle - Into vogue, although questions of stylo and popularity do not 'greatly ' concern the . younger generation or cyclers. While more Wheels for little. folks have been sold lately than was the case In years, the market for Juvenile bicycles has never flattened out;' rather, to use a commercial . term, it has always been quoted "strong to firm. '! t . Tbe fact Is, a bicycle Is an essential part of the youngster's belongings, and cannot be Ignored in the process ' 1 of properly "bringing him up." There Is cne've'y good reason for the sustained sale, of juvenile bicycles, r which Is 11 lustrated '- In the story of a . captious mother in a, toy shop. A . .

Good Doctrine for Grownups. There Is not much chance for, argu ment on this subject, whether the par ents can recall their own wheeling days r nnt Thev certainly know that tnnmaiH . thA . luna ' Dower, works wonders for those having poor circulation and by the rationalise of ntuacles that are not orainaruy oroujni into action, develops a sturdlness i of bodv, and reserve fund of strength that is worth, more to' a growing child, than any other . possession. . .. . Whs you come to think Of it, every thing that has been said concerning the value of cycling for Juveniles, can be said Just as strongly in talking of wheeling for adults. And It's because of the absolute truth of this statement, no doubt, that the return of the wheel la so much in eviaence. i : , The bicycle, and Its vogue today. Is really on a better foundation than ever before. It Is not put forward, as a fad. or a fashionable diversion, but is accepted - as the finest means oi exercise- in the world, and the most mar veloas tame and money saver that has ever blessed mankind. , -r: ' A.

(United frtu Leased Wire.) Chicago, May 16. At a monster rati fication of the work of the national convention, ths Socialists tonight ap proved the advent of their party Into the field of "opportunism." Ben Kan ford of New, Tork and "William D. Hay wood, prominent leader of the "Western Federation of Miners, were the prin cipal speakers. Eugens V. Debs, presidential candi date, was not present. A radical chance in tne attitude or the party has resulted in drastic dis ciplining of the forces which, up to tnis convention, were in control. Al most a complete, reversal of policy will mark Its future In the United Slates. Private ownership of small farms, ex pediency to the point of fusion and an ''opportunism" modeled after the plan of the German social-Democrats, were indorsed in no uncertain terms. The rapid growth of the party in Europe incited the American candidates yf adopt a similar program. The "oppor tunists ' have anounced they would go further at the next convention and re quire I that a committee censor every measure proposed for introduction. The convention will not adjourn stne die until tomorrow, but its labors were nearly finished when it adjourned at ( o'clock after adopting a constitution for submission to a referendum for approval.
