Costly Circus Pnrnnhernalia.

FALSE" said Tody Hamilton, the genial
press agent of Barnum's big show, to n,
New York Mil and Express reporter.
TO prove his assertion he took the reporter
to the large property room in the second

big piles of paraphcrnalia were arranged in
admirable order. Nothing was out OF
place. not even spear used by the humble
super in the grand parade around the ring

by the cavaliers in the arena during the
grand entry, wore of the finest material.

goods means, because we buy the best.
The people in the audience, Us rule, i'm

is made up of cheap stuff, merely to please
the eye and not to last. That is a great cr
ror. Barnum & Bailey will not have any
thing that is not OF the best material.
You can form some idea of our property
goods by the fact that we paid $50, 900 for
them. Why, if we used inferior stuff it
would all fall to pieces before the season
was half over. 1t is cheaper to buy the

the people in the audience did not like it,

is no danger whatever in throwing knives
at the Moorish girl, but it looks so. It is
merely an optical illusion. Not n single
knife comes in close contact with the girl,

The Atlanta Constitution remarks: "It
is said that Mrs. President Harrison's
recent sickness was due to the condition
of the White House, the sanitary arrange
ments of which are reported to be in bad
order. This has revived the talk about
the building of new house for the
President, and almost without execution
the proposition has received the hearty
Endorsement OF all of the newspapers of
Importance which have spoken of the
matter. The White House was built in
l792, and was rebuilt in 1918, practically
as 1T stands to-day, after having been
burned by the British in 1914. IL was
built for the chief executive of nation
numbering less than A 1000, 900 people,
which, in less than century, has in
creased to over 60, 600, 900. 1t is not in
keeping with the other ,.great and sub
stqntial buildings of the Government, and
aside from architectural considerations
is does not appear to be, to say the least
OF it, healthy resort for those who have
to live IN it. The house is pinched and
Its accommodations are inadequate. Its
construction is of old design, which is
not SO bad as its decaying material. 1t
is z said that Arthur's last illness was
brought on by its impure atmosphere.
Let us have now White House, and as
the residence for centuries to come of
our Presidents, let it be building of
such magnificent apportionment that it
will be structure of national PRIDE"
