THE MARVEL OF EUROPE IN
AMERICA.
The Great Inter. Ocean, the Sue
cessful Competitor for Europe's
Greatest Sensation.

For several years past letters in the
newspapers from the different cities in Eu-
rope have spoken of the reigning sensation
there in the person of wonderful woman,
called Zazel. Indeed so great became her
name and fame. that one or two people in
this country assumed the same name and
attempted to give limitations of the thrill
ing perform nce which made her the great
feature of European shows. She is the
original, in fact the only human proiectile
or cannon ball fired from out q powder
loaded cannon. After most active COM
petition between American managers to
secure her for an attraction, John B. Dor
ris was lucky enough to get her, and 50 our
readers can see her on September n, when
his show, which he rightully calls the
Great Inter Ocean, largest and best show
on earth, will exhibit here in Sedalia.

The following comes to us from a

print, but the comparison is worth

contrast between liquor drinking
Yonkers, n. Y, and prchibitory Vine
land, N. j. Vineland has $4,000 In
habitants, and Yonkers about IL, 900.
Vineland has no saloons or drinking
places; Yonkers has 215 licensed and
unlicensed dram-Shops. Vineland
spends for police force, one man doing
the entire work, $50; while it take
$37 900 in Yonkers to keep the citys
peace. Vineland has no police court
and needs none; Yonkers supports one
at cost of 81, 800. Vineland's poor
cost the city $500; the pauper bill o:
Yonkers is $4,000 and more. The
cost of the government in the city OF
Yonkers with its one saloon to every
seventy-fve people, is ninety times as
great as the expense of the govern
ment of Vineland, with no licenses
and no dram-shops.
