Schools Of the Circus.


When, at the beginning of an exhibit
ton season, after passing the manager 5
inspection, an athlete of any kind gets
into the ring, he represents a vast
amount of hard-and thoughtful labor
and instruction. He has been in ''win-
ter quarters, of some kind, but he has
also been at school, and the younger
he is, the more he has had to endure
from exacting and often severe teach
ers.
The larger shows and more enterpris-
ing showmen often set up schools" of
their own, connected, it may be, with
the establishments wherein they keep
and train their quadruped performers.
In every such school of the circus
there is a good deal Of machinery, as
well as an experienced professor of the
art of doing impossible things. There
are kept on hand every kind of gym
nastic apparatus for the development of
activity and muscular strength. These
latter vary, of course, with the nature
of the lessons the pupil is learning, and
at last he is confronted with the very
things he is to employ in the presence
of watching crowds.
BY the pitless severity melted out to
all needless failures made in the pres
ence of his exacting trainer, the
''schoOl master" he is made to under
stand at an early day that he must
never make a failure in the presence of
paying spectators.
The trainer represents the keen-eyed
public, and also the demands of his en-
plOyer, the manager, and he must give
a good account of the time and money
expended upon the school If any boy
should be seized with fever to dis
tinguish himself in the +" ring" moth
ing would be so likely to cure him as a
week or so under careful and faithful
teacher in a winter school for the circus.
In ninety-nine cases out Of hundred,
the scholar would forever afterward be
contented to remain outside the rope
circle.-W 0. StoddGrd. IN 81. Nicholas

of the town this afternoon. The only re-
suit of the conference that can be ascer-
tanned Is contained In the declaration of a
leading Republican of this town " that this
is matter of right. The State Central
Committee has done the fighting and intend
to have the spoils. We will not only organ
ize the convention and nominate Mr.. Curry,
but will appoint the State Central Commit
tee in the usual way, and run the machine
in spite of delegates or anybody else" 1t
is rumored on our streets this evening, how
ever, that Superintendent Mills of the Della
ware railroad will be substituted for Mr.
Curry in case of an obstinate and close fight
What the result of such move will be
remains to be seen, but one thing is evident,
the committee do net feel entirely sure of
their position.
There appeared letter in the N0iritg
NcUs this morning stating that the Register
of Wills and Recorder Of Deeds of this
county took part in the Republican pri-
maries last Saturday. To those Who know
these gentlemen denial of such Il state
mcnt is unnecessary, but as there may be
certain uninitiated persons who might be-
lieve this we take occasion to say that "the
advice and assistance" Mr.. Pennewll gave
was to advise them to "call in their Mig
gers, and not let two-thirds of their party
go unrepresented. In regard to Mr..
Gooden we would say that the Democracy
OF his family is historical, and that he him
self is a "Bourbon of the Bourbons,' and
the only assistance the Republican party
will ever get from these two gentlemen will
be to help consign that organization to
limbo for time everlasting.

when she stepped up to help her friend,
Mary Elizabeth Sanders, during the Monday
night fracas. fhe charge was proven and
the prisoner was fined so cents and costs.
The court was crowded with the residents
of Hedgeyille, which fact, together with the
intense heat, made the room a veritable

was charged with abusing his wife, but the
latter, while briefly stating the charges, re-
fused to take an oath against her husband.

no seruples, and gave Michael bad record,
which resulted in his being fined s. and
cost for his bad behavior. Mrs. O'Conncll
after the trial said that all she wanted was
to have her husband kept away from her

without interference. She also stated that
