The 1Eonksy stole the Angels WInEs-
The first week Of the circus closed with
an immense audience, whose liberal ap-
plause stimulated the performers to sur
pas their usual excellence.
The audience was treated to an entire
" new version OF the Dawn Of Chris
tianity." the brilliant finale Of the "Fall
OF Rome when Jocl<o, the dogfaced
baboon, took an unexpected part. Jocko
enjoys considerable freedom, and during
the performance he slipped unnoticed
from his perch in the dressing room and
emerged from door in the heather tenn
pie into the glare Of the lime lights while
Christianity was dawning.
Jocko recognized his dear friend Mime.
Bumond posing as an angel with glisten-
ing wings, and in mischievous spirit
he snatched the wings, then turned and
fed precipitously down the Appian Way.
Mime. Bumond pursued her departing
wings, and the rest Of the angels, con.
vulsed with laughter, fled into the inte-
rior city. Then the spectators applauded
the race between the. baboon and the
wingless angel until they disappeared
within the gates OF Rome. Hereafter
Jocko will be obliged to confine his genius
TO his own specially, In which he is en-
inently successful. Philadelphia Press.

nine hours and half to reach. the top Of

Though this mountain Is the highest

one Of the most successful feats of

The Miner Inv.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The United States
supreme court, by Chief Justice Fuller, to.
day affirmed the judgment of the Michigan
supreme court, unfolding the constitutional.
ity Of the Miner law, providing for the cleo.
ton of presidential electors by congressional
districts instead Of the state as a whole.
The court holds that the amendment did
not limit the right of a state to fix a mode
Of choosing electors. TIL conceded effect Of
the decision is to give a part at least of the
Michigan electoral vote to Cleveland. Chief
Justice Fuller, in announcing the conclusion
Of the court, said that the court made the
announcement at this time because of an
exigency suggested by counsel requesting
early action. Hereafter the court would
file an opinion setting forth more fully the
grounds OF which it had decided the case.
The court said that in the case of McPher-
son versus Blacker, the secretary Of state
Of Michigan, in which was drawn In question
the public laws of the State of Michigan
(the Miner law providing for the election
Of presidential electors by congressional
districts, and for the election Of electors at

as plentiful now. The next three weeks
will furnish fine shooting all along the line.
