The military correspondent of the
Wiener Neuc Freic Prcsse comments
thus on the retirement of Gen. Vcrly du
Vcrnois: ellis retirement, in view of tho
preceding history, has great significance.
This highly meritorious man goes be-
cause he has recognized the advisability
of introducing the two year duration of
service. That is indeed ominous How
else than by shortening the duration of
the service can the people be made
capable of bearing the swelling military
taxes? AS to the cessation of further
military demands on the part of the
Government, there need DO no dclusion
iS vi WAT. NTGn-
Bronsart, Verdy's predecessors, and
Verdy himself gave repeated assurances
that the military budget was just ut it's
limit, but the people have learned that
such assurances amount to nothing. The
new inventions OF weapons and the quiet
but steady increase of the French and
Russian standing armies recur. and the
upshot Of it all is the old song that,
Germany and her allies must not drop
behind the procession. In view OF this
crushing competition and consequent
taxation the only hope OF the people lies
in the shortening Of tho service. Only
thus can the people he enabled TO meet
the burden Of taxation. Tho case of Gen
Nerdy proves that this truth is rccog-
nized by far-sightcd military men, al
though these may still be in tho minor
lty. The shortening OF the services re-
mains a crying necessity. despite Con.
Nerdy's retirement. Tho blood tax
cannot be paid up to heaven any more
than can he the money tax. = Tho
last German Rcichstag was persuaded
only with the greatest difficulty to in
crease the standing army without
shortening the service, and the deter
mination of Gen. Vcrdy to stand in tho
Relchstags original position costs him
his portfolio. Gen. Verdy goes, but
what he strove for does not go, and
whoever follows him will not be able to
close his ears to the demand for the two.

What It Costs to Run show Like Fore
paugh's.

pSugn'S. f,
Mr.. Jas. L. Cooper, tho veteran circus
proprietor, now owner of the Forepaugh
and Wild West show, in conversing
about the cost of conducting n circus, at
n popular hotel the other night, re-
marked:
"Fifteen years ago the transition
from travelling with wagon to travelling
by rail began in earnest, and to-day
there are no wagon shows of any i'm
portance. All big circuses travel now
entirely by railroad, and whereas before
they transported their outfits on eight
to twenty wagons, to-day they own from
thirty to sixty cars and employ from 200
to 1000 men. Itwould be a difficult
matter for wagon show to exist now,
the public has become so accustomed to
the multiple ring circuses and hippo
dromes-shows like Forepaugh's. There
are now invested in the circus business
about six million dollars.
To purchase a show OF the size of
Adam Forepaugh's would cost in round
numbers three million dollars, and half
million moro would be needed for the
three railway trains and tho winter
quarters plant, and then $4,000 Il day
would be necessary to dcfray the run
ming expenses. When the Forcpaugh
show travelled with wagons and in
those days, us now. it was the largest
on the road-its daily expenses were not
over 500, but the receipts were cores
pondingly small: then one advertising
wagon was sent ahead, and not over
three or four men went with it; they
carried all the printing and did all the
advance advertising; now we send in ad-
vance four advertising cars specially
constructed for the work. each car car
rying twenty men and thousands of dol
lars worth of elegant and expensive pic
torial printing.

They were taken back to Christiansburg
for trial at the December court. Akers " :
convicted, but the trial Of Cooper was post
poned TO the January term.
The people were rather indignant at the

thought the evidence justified capital pun
lshment.
II became known that the people Of the
county were organizing TO lynch the prl-
soners and on Wednesday evening Sheriff
Barnett quietly took the men from the jail
in Christiansburg and with three guards
drove out of town. They did not take the

mond and Allegheny railroad and left
Cooper in Lynchburg and brought Akers
on TO Richmond and lodged him in the

travelling through the mountains. He had
scouts on part of the route and several
times they saw men who 1t is supposed
were trying to find the officer and capture
