Lions Are Easily Handled and Make Splen-
did Performers.
GAS matter of fact. says John B. Doris,
the well-known museum manager, but
formerly circus proprietor of some 30 years
experience, in the New York World, ''there
is no animal with which we circus men
have to deal that is so easy to handle and so
safe for performer as lion. in every
thing they are just like great big good
natHred dogs, easy to train and more than
ordinarily easy to perform. In fact, after
they are once trained to do their tricks, any,
body with whom they are acquainted, such
as an attendant or man whom they have
been accustomed to sec around the show, can
60 into their cage and put them through
their act with perfect safety. Why, in one
season had no less than II men perform
my lions, and in each case these men were
feeders, canvas men, hostlers and other en-
ployes of the circus who would be apt to be
about the animals all the time.
at is the appearance of the lion and that
dreadful roar of his that strike terror into
the heart of the spectator and cause him to
think that he is in great danger; but that
roar of the lion, while so dreadful in sound,
is like q good many other things in the
show business, more of a deception than
otherwise. A lion really only roars when
he is in particularly good humor, and he
can no more help doing it than can dog
help barking"

Experiments in Asphalts.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
1t seems to me the City Highway Depart
ment is rushing the asphalt pavement too
profusely. The only one in this city that
has shown dollar of wear for dollar Of
expenditure is the Forbes street tar, which
has lasted well these IS years. The asphalt
that has been put down latterly is a poor pave
ment; so says the expert Father Time, who
has had a year or two 10 demonstrate. l
understand from experts that there is re-
quired as considerable skill to properly mix
asphalt pavement material so to make
crucible steel; that it must be applied just
hot enough or the poultice will be too soft
in warm weather or too brittle when frost
touches it. A pavement that would be
o. K. for the moist and comparatively
equable climate of England would not
suffice in the climate of Pittsburg. The
fact is that the asphalt now being applied
is an experiment Are not property holders
paying too dearly for this, and will not the
city at large be taxed constantly in the
future to maintain such pavements in re-
pair? Ny preference at present would be
for evenly vitrifed fire brick, with tar
joints, and L hope ere another paving
season be on that Booth & Finn will
have arranged to accord it to those who
desire that description of roadway. @.

A Republican Out for Pattison.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
As Republican I am for Robert E..
Pattison, and will do all can for him in
the Twenty-third ward. My reasons for SO
doing is not because he is Democrat, not
because he belongs to that party, but be-
cause ne is fearless advocate of honest gov
ernment, and that he is the choice of the
people in this campaign. Mr. Delamater is
not the nominee of the Republican party.
He is only one mans man. I am for the
man of the people and for the people, man
of well known and approved political opin-
ion, man of intelligence, a man of integ-
rity. We want a statesman, a reformer
after as well as before the election. A man
of superb moral courage, a man who knows
the wants of the people, and that man is
Robert E. Pattison. On the other hand we
have the machine and its nominee, Mr.. Del
amater. Their motto is, ''To the victor be-
longs the,spoils." THOMAS MCCAIN,
