The CIrcus.

Another large audience was present at
the circus last evening, and the excel
lent performance warranted it. Her
Majesty Queen Kapiolani, their Royal
Highnesses the Princess Likelike and
Kaiulani, Hon. A. s Cleghorn, His Elk
cellency Governor P. p. Kanaa and Col.
Z. w. Purvis, His Majesty's Vice
Chamberlain, occupied seats III the
Royal box, which had been specially
erected for the occasion. The programme
contained fifteen numbers and not one
act that had been given during the past
week was repeated. 1t opened with
batoutte leaping by the vaulting troupe,
one of the performers concluding the
act by turning a double sOmersault over
six horses. The big screen act by the
Japanese, Bungaroo and Itiche, was Il
wonderful performance, and Il perfect
storm of applause was awarded them at
the conclusion. 1t alone was worth
double the price of admission, and
should be seen to be appreciated. The
first part concluded with a fine piece of
bareback riding by Jack Cousens, in
which he jumps from the ground on to
the horses back erect while it is leaping
a high hurdle. The second part con-
tanned number of new acts, which
highly pleased the audience. The per-

Weight Of an Avalanche.
Iphn .h.lnhin Irnss !

One may gain an idea of the weight
of Alpine avalanches from some figures
recently gathered by the Italian govern
ment and just published in The London
Times. The data is concerning three
avalanches in the Alpine districts of
Italy and the Tyrol. The volume on
the first avalanche, that slid down the
slope on Jan. IS, at Devies, is supposed
to have been 100000 cubic meters, and
the weight of snow composing it was
As, 81 0 tons. y greater avalanche fell
the same day near Nenaus, and, with a
volumne of 5000 600 cubic meters, it
bore nearly quarter of a million tons
of snow. a third avalanche, that over
whelmed eighteen houses, destroying
seventeen persons at MafiottO, contained
more than &c, 600 tons weight of snow.

Grants Gact in Dealing with Men.
lEutA- o..


If the pledge of secrecy was removed
from those who were familiar with Grant
during his army life or during his public
life hundreds of stories could be told to
illustrate his tact in dealing with men.
But this much may be said in.a general
way, none of his officers ever quarreled or
ever showed any heat of discussion in his
presence None of them ever questioned
a decision or an order of his Mcpherson
might protest against what Sherman did
or said. Logan might be impatient over
what McP herson said or did, Sherman
might be little testy over what McPher-
son or Logan or McClernand said. but in
the presence of Grant or in the face of an
order issued by him all of them were sub
missive, unresentful. and quiet They
never attempted to explain this, but those
of them who are alive today will bear
testimony to the truth of the observation

Kent.s Maiden Contenarian.

OF Miss Caroline Thompson, whose
death in her Tooth year was reported in
last weeks GAZETTE, the Chester
town Transcript says: During the later
years of her life she lived principally in
the past, though she continued until
within year of her death to take lively
interest in the happenings of the day. For
sometime prior to her death she was blind,
but until within year past she used TO
have one of her nieces read the county
papers to her, and she listened with
keen interest. But above all things she
delighted to talk of the period of 20 and
so years back. The best part of her life
was lived before the day of steam
boats and railroads. When Saratoga was
in its infancy rs summer resort, and the
revolutionary beaux and bells had not yet
ceased to talk of the days of seventy-six,
Miss Thompson made a trip to Saratoga,
travelling the whole distance of 400 miles
by stage. -Four hundred miles by stage
line in these days would be trip to
appal most travellers. Miss Thompson's
memory was filled with interesting
"Reminiscences concerning this trip, and
of Saratoga as il appeared at that period
She was IL years old when George Wash
ington died. She never saw him, hut re-
membered distinctly the wave of sorrow
that swept through the country at the
announcement of his death. Lafayette
she had seen in person at ball in Phila-
ielphia on the occasion of his second
visit TO this country.

Grasshopper Fears AIIayed.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Since the latter
part of May alarming reports of swarms
of young locusts or grasshoppers in the
valley of the Arkansas and in other por-
tions of the State of Colorado, have been
published, and the fear was expressed
that Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri would
be visited by an invasion of the Rocky
Mountain locust (melanoptus sprectus).
Under direction of Prof. Riley, MIR.
Laurence Bruner, the Nebraska agent of
the department of agriculture, has visited
the portions of Colorado from which
rumors come. His report has Just been
received and is of such nature ms TO
allayall fears. In every locality visited
from which grasshoppers We're reported
it was found that the numbers had been
greatly exaggerated and in no case was
the migratory species found. All reports
arose from rather undue abundance of
native species, and which are present
every year, most of which have their
preferred food plants, in the shape of
wild growths and noxious weeds. l.

The prospectus has been issued by
Rossiter & Tyndell, publishers, for new
journal, The Pl0ughshare, n semi-monthly
paper which, as its name indicates is to
be devoted to agricultural interests. The
publishers say: ..We are not unmindful
of the fact that the farmers of this area
of country are fairly well supplied with
agricultural journals. but neither has it
escaped our attention that none of these
publications are prepared with an eye
single TO the interests of the land lying
between the two bays. 1t is
our object to gather together, to compare
and to reproduce in practical form IL O.
opinions and the best results of the ex-
periments of the best farmers of the
Peninsula. We believe that the best
farming in any considerable community
is good enough, and that none other
should be tolerated." The editor of the
new journal is Fred. Z. Bach, nm attache
of the Morning Ne,os. No. of The
PlOughShare will be issued about August.

NEW oRuIsERs.
Plans Submitted last Week for the
tl-l iNA New boats.

Secretary Whitney, In his advertise,
ment for proposals for the new cruisers
authorized by Congress last winter, said
that oil plans and specifications must be
Submitted by July 18th. At the close OF
business at the department last week but
10 persons or companies had offered COM
plete proposals; Numerous designs for
parts of vessels and parts of machinery
had been submitted. The Union iron
works of San Francisco is the only pri-
vate shipyard that offered proposals. The
designs submitted were for one large
cruiser. 14q.I ut AtIraA .tl
Other plans are from naval officers and
private parties. Admiral Porter has
offered plan for one vessel. Naval Con
structor W. L. Mintonge submitted plans
for four yessels-one of 5,000-ton ship,
one a 3,6OO-ton ship, one a 600-ton ship,
and one an 800-ton ship. .1i.iJ it nl5
The bureau of construction and repair
offered designs for five yessels-one of
1000 tons, another of 3, 100 tons, q third
of 1,700 tons, fourth Of 1,600 toms, and
a fifth Of 800 tons. Plans for the engines
Of these vessels have been prepared by
the bureau of steam engineering. tH
Naval Constructor Philip Hichborn has
submitted a plan for cruiser of 4, 800
tons displacement. The design is for a
powerfully armed vessel, carrying thir-
teen six-inch and four eight-inch breech-
loading rifles, the latter having direct
fore aud aft fire. The vessels is to be
ship-rigged md TO have three-quarter sail
power. The average speed at sea in all
weathers is stated at IA knots; in smooth
water, Is knots.
The plans provide for ship 315 feet
long on the water line, As feet extreme
breadth. The mean draught IL 20 feet 8
inches. The bottom is to be sheathed
and coppered. The vessel is to be, as far
as possible, independent of docks and
coaling stations. The capacity of the
bunkers is planned at 800 tons, sufficient
to carry the vessel to Europe at her maxi
mum speed, while at slower rntes it would
last for a much greater distance. The
engines are to be three cylinder, hori-
zontal and compound. The estimated
cost of the vessel, exclusive of her arma-
ment is estimated at about 81, ,O00, 900.
Secretary Whitney will appoint board
to examine these plans excluding from the
board officers of his department who
submit plans. ny" "

CHICAGO, July 15.-The three Chicago
experts who have been working ON the
poisoned beef from Momence made par

examinations. Professor G. +. Mariner
reports that the microscopical examina-
tion showed conclusively that the diff

however, that there were numerous
micrococci and other kinds of bacteria

the sickness was caused by mn alkaloid
poison formed in the meat by putrefac-
ton, and proposed TO cultivate the emicro.
cocci by. isolation and experiment ON
some of the lower animals. Mr.. Henry
l., Tolman stated that the meat was over
salted and over cured, ms il TO cover up
the fact thnt il was bad. Parts of il
were swarming with micrococci, which
had in some places totally destroyed
the tibres, leaving only mod of denitus;
They appeared to invade the sarcolemma,
first thickening it, and then attacked the
muscular fibres. When fioated off into O
mixture of glycerine and water they soon
showed their characteristic motion. The
disease at Momence was undoubtedly
caused by them, but further examination
was necessary before deciding whether
the animal from which the beef was made
was diseased before it was killed, OF
whether the meat had begun to putrefy
before il was cured. The latter 81 emed
to be the more likely.

MEXICO AND ENGLAND.
British Capitalists Seeking TO Head
off the Americans.

CRY OF MEXICO VIA GALVESTON, July 15.
The cool reception accorded by Chill to
the United States Spanish-American trade
commission is much discussed here. In
European circles here there is talk of
favoring policy of o commercial and
financial alliance with England, and it
is believed that London capitalists would
like TO secure control of the Central and
National railroads. II is reported that the
English government is not averse to max
ing strong friend of Mexico, the policy
being to build up the country and secure
the growing trade now being diverted to
the United States. ....- -.
There is no doubt that English manu-
facturers fnvor this plan. They think
that by bold move Mexico can lie q,
strongly tied to England as is Chill, and
that the time is now favorable for the de-
yelopment of an Anglo Mexican policy,
as the government will soon have to go
into the London money market to arrange
consolidation of the debts of the
country. 1t is also reported that
the English government desires to
control the transit across the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec. There is no
doubt that English trade influence
is very active ut present. In French
circles il is feared that England cultiyates
the friendship of Mexico I'm order to
have strong ally near the Panama Canal.
Many rumors of British and Mexican
commercial alliance are current in bank
ing circles.

4 PHILADE1PHIA FIRE.
The Western Unions Main office
burned out.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-Fire broke
out about 2 o'clock this morning in the
operating room of the Western Union
Telegraph Company ON the fourth floor
of the Mutual Life Insurance Building
Tenth and Chestnut streets. In COM
paratively short time the room was
gutted out, chairs, tables and instru-
ments including duplex and quad
ruplex instruments of considerable
value being destroyed. A hand
some and valuable switchboard was
also destroyed. Only few operators
were on duty at the time, and after send
ing an alarm they made a hasty escape
men was at once put to work to connect
the broken wires. and in II short time all
the through wires were in working order.
The use of the associated press office
on the first floor was Immediately offered
to the telegraph company and all the
morning the linemen and chief operators
were busily engaged in erecting tenn
porary tables, running wires and connect
ing the instruments with prospects at
noon of being ready in few hours to
handle with little delay all the business
offered.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by an electric spark carried into the office
ON wire which had come in contact with
an electric light wire. Many of the COM
pany's wires connecting with other cities
do not enter the main office, but work
directly from the principal branch office
at Third and Chestnut streets and the
business to that extent is therefore not
interfered with.
