We are building a few wheels this winter, and can save you f to or (15 on a ■pedal order. "We are not in the trust." We csn also save yon about 20 per cent, now on sundries, such aa pedals, cranks, handle bars, saddles, etc., that yoa may need, notwithstanding the fact that 1900 prices on all these goods are sure to be considerable higher than daring the season just closd. NOTE—Order this kind of work done by numbers and remember when we say "frame only" we mean that yoa are to deliver to as the frame stripped of everything bat the old enamel, and you are to set yoar wheel up after frame has been finished, otherwise, if we tear down the wheel and assemble ft for yoa, 50 cents extra will be charged in all cases, only where we cut down and enamel a wheel, when in that event we do the setting ap free. The prices here quoted are good only for a short while, and may be with - drawn at any time. Compare them with any other enamlers' yon like. They are aa follows: 1. Special, Enameling frame, only 3 coats, any color, and transferring $2.50 2. Special, Enameling frame, only"3 coats,Jany color - - - J2.00 3.

Rose, Light Bine, Tan, Bottle Green, Apple Green, Wine, Orange, Crimson, Light Pink, Light Green, Olive Green, Sterling Green, Willow Green, Royal Bine, Lavender, Red and Dark Orange. We propose to continue this practice again this off season, only on a much larger scale than before, as we have not previously been so well eqntpped for the work as now, particularly in the matter of a separate enameling room, where an even temperature can always be kept, and where the materials and work cannot be effected by dust, the stubborn enemy of all enamelers. For the past four winter seasons we have offered special low prices as an inducement to riders to bring us their wheels for repairs and avoid the rush and higher prices which are sure to prevail at the opening of the next riding season. By this 8lan, the owner of the wheel gets his heavy repairs done considerable cheaper than 1 he waits to have it done when the new season is on, and we, by getting in a large number of wheels to remodel and enamel can, of course, affora to it cheaper * than in bicycle weather. Having just finished fitting up a room, which we carefuJIy arranged and planned, especially for enameling and finishing work, we are now teaay to take in frames and wheels to enamel and finiah, remodel and repair during the winter . months—the exclusive Bicycle Dealers "off season."

Although this occurred on New Year's morning, Southern California experienced (light disturbances dully for two weeks after, during which time all who could leave the ▼alley departed la haste, and those bound thither, estimated at 300 for the two weeks, returned to their homos in the Ewt or sought other regions. It it neollaes to say that Prof. Weber is glad that he is back in stable old Pennsylvania. "I occupied a room In a frame building, in my brother'! residence. On the night of the earthquake I waa awakened bj a violent movemont of the bed in which I wm sleeping, followed almoet instantly bjr another whioh bronglit me to a sitting posture. The third quake, tbe one that did the dam,go, was to* oompaoiel by sounds that were indisoribable. I waa thrown violently backward against the wall. The washstand and its contents tumbled to the middle of the roam, followed by the dresser and a chair whioh stood in front of it. Not knowing what it all meant I rushed ont into the hall and called to my brother, who informed me that an earthquake was in progress. From that on until moraine ws were all in momentary expectation of being swallowed up by the earth, and you may Imagine, but you never can describe the feelings of that haur. I want no moro of it. Pennsylvania is good enough for me."
