Quietly sandwiched between
blood-curdling, hair-raising deeds in
the "Wild West" department of
Forepaugh show, which exhibits in
Wilmington, May 9TH, is refresh
ing little act that catches on finely
with the audience. Four stalwart,
bronzed and dashing cowboys, and
a like number of rosycheeked, fair
eyed, rugged-western girls partici-
pate in the most novel equestrian
display extaunt. Mounted on their
switt-footed little bronchos, they act
ually execute all the movements of
old-fashioned Virginia reel, to
music furnished by Bugle Bulls
cowboy band. The horses seem to
enjoy the sport as much as the their
riders, and all in all, it is merry
and charming sight. There is a
breezyness, Il subtle flavor of the
wild western prairies about this un-
ique act that is peculiarly captivat-
ting.

The Landenburg Mills.

Squire Dougherty is quoted in the
Kennel Adrance as saying "In my life
time have seen four independently rich
men take hold of the Landenberg mills
and stay there until the sheriff closed
them out. The Chambers, from whom
the village got its first name, were the
first remember. Then came Ripkey,
who owned great deal of Germantown.
He, too, was closed out. Then after the
interval of a few years came Martin Lam
denberger with plenty Of money and the
energy to rechristen the place and give
it new name. He, too, went to pieces
and his property passed under the ham
mer. And now comes the financial trou-
bles of Mr.. Lund. don't know why it
is, but nevertheless it is true"

Killed For a Desperate.

A dispatch received Monday from
Olathe, Kansas, states that John P.
Reardon was shot by sheriff's posse at
Round Prairie school house, twelve
miles from Olathe. He was riding a
pony and was bound West, but he stop
ped at the school house to rest his pony.
He told several people whom he encoun-
tered that he was desperate man and
had already killed several men in the
Indian Territory, and as he was armed
with Winchester rifle, Colt revolver,
and bowie-knife his story found credence
and the people gave him a wide berth.
When the news of his being at the
school house reached Olathe the Sheriff,
supposing him to be desperate named
John Rodgers, for whose arrest he had a
warrant, sent his deputy and two men to
capture him. On arriving at the school
house the officer went in and told Rear
don he had a warrant for his arrest, and
ordered him to throw up his hands. This
Reardon refused to do, and he seized a
shotgun that was being pointed at him.
The deputy then shot the supposed
robber in the arm, and Immediately af-
forwards the man with the gun discharg-
ed both barrels, killing Reardon instant
ly.
The Coroner subsequently held an in
..~nrnrn4a1 N ~ From,
blame, on the ground that the shooting
was not felonious, but the people of
Olathe think that they were too hasty.
Reardon's mother, who lives with her
two daughters at 1914 North Garnett
street, Philadelphia, told Times report
err Monday night that her son was always
quiet, inoflensive man. Two years ago
he left Elkton, Nd, with a wagon and
two horses for the west, and had been
working his way there ever since, his
destination being Oregon. She had
heard from him from time to time and
he had always written cheerful and duti-
full letters. He was a careful and
economical man and had saved consider
able money.
Her idea is that Reardon, who was
determined man and one who would
stand up for his rights to the death,
mistoak the posse for freebooters and
imagined that they were after his money
and consequently resisted them. She
says he was harmless man when let
alone, but was fond of fun and no doubt
it was his love of mischief that prompted
him to spread such report about him
self
Barton Reardon, the dead mans broth
er says he will do nothing until he re-
ceives the Coroner's report. His father
was killed fourteen years ago on Broad
street by being thrown from his horse.
Great sympathy is felt for Mrs. Reardon
in this second bereavement. Her son
was but 81 years ofage and all the fam
lily say that he was a promising and up
right young man.-Phila. Times.

Ten Years Younger.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: "For years, / was compelled
to wear dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown of my head ; but now
1 gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out a new growth. I
could hardly trust my senses when L
first found my hair growing but there
it is, and I am delighted. Look ten
gears younger"

Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
cot, of Charlestown. Mass, Miss Bessie
II. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt, Mrs. J. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing to i'm

the stomach and liver, in which case,
course of Ayers Sarsaparilla or of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
Nigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions of the

too strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good without

Luxuriant Hair

scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth Of the hair, prevents it from
falling ont, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.

 AN ANCIENT SHIP RAuwAY.-Long before the days of Esds, or even of steam and railroads, the feasibility of the land transport of vessels was dem onstrated by Venetian engineer named Sorbolo. In 1439, as lately stated to the Philadelphia Engineers club, by Mir. E. L. Corthell, a fleet of some thirty armed and provisioned vessels was taken overland from the Adige to Lake Garda, to relieve the besieged city of Brescia. The vessels were placed on cradles and pulled from the water, 600 oxen being re- quired to bring the largest to level ground. The fleet was drawn in an imposing procession across the plain for thirty miles, then lifted up Mount Pineda and lowered on the other side by windlasses, and finally hauled twelve miles farther to the lake. One vessel was destroyed, but the others.as we'll as a second fleet a year later. made the passage in safety. The largest of the vessels were nearly 150 feet long, and 40 feet wide.
 INCUBATORs FOR INFANTs.-Prema- turely born and abnormally delicate infants are now supplied with artifi- cial mothers of more than motherly tenderness. The apparatus, identical with the incubator or artificial hen for matching chickens, is simply a large square box warmed by bowls of water beneath an inner bottom. In this, wrapped carefully in cotton, is placed the weak babe, so frail during its first few days that the open air would fatally chill it. With an even temperature and free circulation of warm air, secure from cold and damp ness, and with careful feeding, the in fant thrives and rapidly acquires health. The natural mother can only watch the growth of her offspring through the glass cover until the new life has been famed into sufficient strength to be confided to her keep ing. In the hospitals of Paris this system has been for some time giving satisfactory and even surprising results.
