A MEMORABLE AND SUMPTUOUS
EXPOSITION.
The Grand Biblical Spectacle,
Solomon, His Temple, and the Queen Of
Sheba.

The Enquirer, the Commercial Ca
zette and other leading papers, both
German and English, of Cincinnati,
are prolific in their praises of this
new and most impressive of ali spec
tacles, which at an expense that
would seem fabulous, the enterpris-
ing management of John Robinson's
Great Worlds Exposition produce
this year in connection with their
myriad other attractions. There is
no sense so vivid, so lasting and SO
conclusive as the sense of seeing, and
however studiously we may search
the Scriptures or other sacred his
tory, the ideas that we may form and
the impressions we may receive con
corning the patriarchs and sages, and
the scenes, incidents and events con-
sequent to their time, can be but
fractionary and imperfect. To have
reproduced those personaees and
events and placed with sceneographie
effect before you; to hear Solomon
re utter his wise and prophetic words !;
to see in person Sheba's illustrious
Queen, and the pomp and circum-
stance OF her surroundings; to view
the great Temple of Solomon, not by
description, but by actual inspection !;
to witness personally the sumptuous
and Respondent festivals of the great
Solomon's court-these are the ines
Unable privileges which the John
Robinson Great Worlds Exposition
accords its patrons in connection
with the great circus, the menagerie,
and the royal Roman hippodrome.
The spectacle of Solomon, his Tenn
pie, and the Queen of Sheba will be
displayed here Thursday Sept oath.

only reason we are not made acquain-
ted with yet greater variety is, that
happily, all the people in the world
do not feel called upon to write, and
of those who do, few write of some
thing else.
Aside from the smilingly serene
beings, however, whose faultless
characteristics are so often described
to us, every now and then some one
announces the exact physical proper
tions to which woman should con.
form, and if some rare woman should,
she has the right to be considered
perfectly beautiful
The most recent standard / have
seen has in it elements of consolation
that are not common to all. 1t is a
sort of sliding scale, and a woman
does not have to attain just such a
height and a certain unalterable
weight to be considered beautiful.
1t starts out by saying that a woman
five feet, three inches tall should
weigh one hundred and thirty pounds,
but it allows them to grow taller and
weigh more, or be shorter and weigh
less and still be beautiful. That is
quite concession, for SO many peo-
pie would have difficulty about stop
ping growing when the precise height
were reached. Still, its all lot Of
nonsense, and many women will have
undisputed claims to beauty who do
not boast these automatically per-
feet proportions. If it were not so.
no one could be convinced of beauty
at all, unless he went out with tape
line and scales, and proved the testi-
mony of his eyes, and some women
might object to that.

A COOL MESSENGER
saves His Company's Property
From a Gang Of Robbers
That Boarded The Train, BY Hiding ths
Money Packages in the Stove.

A train robbery occurred at Wharton,
l. r., late Saturday night Five masked
men held up Santa Fe passenger
train. The robbers got the drop on the
trainmen. The engine was cut loose
from the train and the engineer was
told to run down the track half mile,
10 remain until told to return. The
robbers then ordered everybody out Of
the mail and baggage car and proceed.
ed to help themselves. They secured
s4OO in money from the mail car.
No one was injured. United
States Marshal Payne was promptly
notified and Immediately organized
posse. They are all we'll armed and
with four .bloodhounds are in hot pur-
suit. If the desperadoes are run down
there will, undoubtedly, be severe
battle. The skill with which the Wells
Fargo express car of the Santa Fe train
was robbed was only excelled by the
skill with which the express messenger
guarded the property in his care from
the bandits. When the robbers boarded
the train at Wharton the messenger was
looking out Of the door Of his car, and
seeing what was going on, Immediately
apprehended the danger. He closed and
locked his door and then commenced to
hide the money and valuables where
they would escape the detection by the
robbers. While the bandits were de.
taching the engine and express car from
the rest of the train and were running
1t to the place where the robbery occur
red, two miles distant, the messenger
disposed OF most of the valuables in
places of safety. Then he locked the
safe. When the robbers appeared at
the door of the express car he made
show of resistance, but finally ad.
mitted them. They Immediately made
for the safe and demanded that
it be opened. With feigned reluctance
the messenger opened it, and at the
command of the leader handed out the
contents, among which was package
Of worthless papers, which he told the
robbers was valuable package Of
money. The most of the money had
been hidden in the stove, which was
not being used In the search which
the robbers made of the car they over
looked that hiding place, but tumbled
upon a package Of $500, which they se'
cured. Finding nothing else of value
