route 10 America. The cost of this wonder
ful beast, all told, including brides, fees and

sented troupe Of genuine Bedouin Arabs
whose performances are marvels of athletic
excellence. A "Human Fly" or lady cell
ing walker, is another new addition. At
least $500, 900 has been expended during the
winter In o tanning new features and refit-
ting this great show. Nearly every race of
people, civilized and uncivilzed, will be
represented. As many as fourteen bare
back running horses will be seen in the ring
at one time. An elephant that re ads, wrest-
ling camels, and a white hippopotamus are
among the many animal curiosities, while
Sampson, the mastodonic elephant, will
tower above anything ye. born of brutes.
Owing to tn, extraordinary magnitude of
this enormous show, performances will be
given in the menagerie tents as we'll as the
several rings. 1t is stated that the entire
exhibition will visit California, Oregon, and
the Western Territories, during the present
season, and in all probability q second tour
around the world will be made, via San
Francisco, New Zealand, Australia, British
India and the European Continent.

make bis confession Of deliberate murder
By parties around the Jail, who told him
II he confessed he might get free. This was
before he had engaged q lawyer. After
wards he had four attorneys and their chief
aim In the trial was to destroy the effect of
the confession he had made. They were
successful In this, and by technlcalities sue
ceeded In practically keeping the confession
out Of the evidence In the case. Tom Camp
bell. Of Cincinnati, was the leading lawyer
OF the four, and to his efforts was due the
fact that Berner was convicted OF manslaugh-
ter instead of murder In the first degree.
Caricatures of Campbell Of q nature to
arouse prejudice and incite indignation
against him were circulated In Cincinnati
yesterday, and have been posted IN Column
bus to-day. Berner's associate In the crime
was negro, who has not yet been tried.

CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKES.
at Isn't as Bad as a Flood, Anyhow"

NEW YORK, March 2S.--Tribune: The
people Of San Francisco are naturally afraid
Of earthquakes first, because there Ii no
more terrifying phenomenon in nature, and
second, because they think the reputation of
liability TO these shocks will keep away pop
nlation; but in truth the experience Of the
past does not justify serious alarm on the
subject. All the earthquakes that have &C.
Cured since California became State, have
not caused thousandth part As much dan
ger as Is involved in the foods of the Ohio
and Mississippi; nay, the recent little local
food at Roberts Island on the Sacramento
River has been more calamitous than all the
earthquakes. People have been much more
frightened than hunt by the latter.
When shock comes everybody rushes for
the street, but 1t is q fact that no single life
has yet been lost In building by one of
these earthquakes. All who have been
killed have been struck in the street by
falling debris, and the natural inference
would seem to be that the wisest course In
earthquakes Is to stay indoors. or course
people can't help fearing that much heav-
Ter shock may occur some day, and no one
can deny The possibility, but there should be
much comfort in the reflection that hitherto
the Pacific coast has been very mildly shaken
up, and the record may we'll justify the be-
lief that no catastrophe need be spprebended.
A few tall and massive buildings In San
Francisco and the wooden houses appear to
be almost earthquake proof. On the whole,
San Francisco ought not to alarm herself
very much because Of these telIuric eccen.
tricities, nor can other cities justly congratu.
late themselves at her expense, for statistics
show that II Is safer to live In the earthquake
bell than In the food area.
