Cook & Whitby's Circus.

Speaking of this circus, which will be
seen in Portland Thursday next, st.
John paper says:
Perhaps St. John has seen no per-
Torrance of any kind in many years that
has carried out the promises made in it's
advance notices with such exactness;
nay, more than carried them out, for
who can say that the press notices led
any one to believe that they would see
such parade.and such performance.
To particularize and point out the feat
ures of the parade here, there were SO
many features, where almost everything
in the procession was a show in itself.
would bessa difficult task, but it can we'll
be said that no parade has ever made SO
pleasing and favorable an impression.
The magnifcence of the chariots, drawn
as they were by the splendid draught
horses, which of themselves were re-
marka BILE feature, the extent.of the menag-
erie, the trained horses and ponies that
looked as fine as silk, the handsome
trappings, as we'll as the costume of
those who rode them, all combine to
make the parade unusual from every
standpoint. In fact it was show of
itself and a good one. But if the parade
was pleasing, what shall be said of the
performance? 1t is safe for any one to
say that St. john has never seen such a
circus performance, never see one with
20 much variety, such talent in every
direction, so well managed and conduct
ed. From the moment the grand open
ing parade began, to the last exciting
event, the four-horse chariot race, there
was not moment save of enjoyment.
Four eyes were needed instead of two,
and at times even four would not have
been enough"

A Plea for Fruit.

AS one passes the fruit stores in, our
city with their rich displays of fruit,
allurIngly arranged-in various fashions
to arrest the eye and capture. the peck
etbook, one is glad that the season of
fruits has come. Even if his conscience
becomes a most Troublesome mentor be-
cause of too liberal indulgence of appe-
t1te-for unfortunately fruit does cost
money, and the better it is the more
money it costs he tries to quiet it by
pleading that the fruit season is so
short and that his system requires the
peculiar @toning up" that only fruit can
give it. And SO, becausel" the season is
SO Short" the proyident householder
sends home many crates Of the delicious
small and larger fruits which the thrifty
house mother by a process known only
to herself, brings out many months lat
err nearly as fresh and appetizing as
when gathered from the vines and trees.
We wonder little if these prosperous
home makers think often of the homes
where prosperity never comes, where
the luxury of fruit is never known,
where men, women and children subsist
on food which in many cases is almost
devoid of nutritive qualities.
Not many days ago, two women were
standing in front of one OF our up town
fruit stores. They did not. belong to the
squalid poor, but had sevidently known
happier days. They looked long and
wistfully at some bartlett pears that
were in the window. One said: II do
want them SO much; let's inquire the
price" She disappeared for moment,
! returning with the word that they We're
| five cents apiece. The. other answered,
$50 high; how mother does need them;
| think we must get some for her"
They looked in. their purses. found there
inst enough for three pears, which they
bought, and with quicker steps proceed
ded homeward.

Flower Mission has been reaching with
their gifts of books and flowers. 1t dc.
sires to extend it's ministry by.also send
ing into it's homes something of more
value than either of these, and it is sure
that its appeal for fruit, which it now
makes, will be as promptly and gener-
ously needed, as have it's previous APP
peas. e*
Fruit of any kind is asked for; plums,
apples, peaches, pears, bananas, and
whatever else that will help nourish and
strengthen unnourished and weekend

BuRaLARIEs AT GRAND BEACH.
Most All of the Cottages Entered but Little
Plumber Secured.

The colony of cottagers at Grand
Beach had an unpleasant experience dur.
ing Saturday night. 1t will be remem-
bered that some time ago Mr.. Clarence
Hamlins' cottage.was entered, and con-
sequently there has been feeling that
extra precautions should be taken
against burglars.
The cottagers employ Waterman,
whose duties, We understand, compel
him to be on the lookout night and day.
Naturally the man has to take some
rest, so the electric lights are shut off at
a. m. and the Waterman then retires,
and his big. dog goes on duty.
During Saturday night, probably af-
ter the ele ctric lights were extinguished,
burglars burst in.the spring screen door
of Mr. Aliens cottage, and after a
thorough exploration made off with a
pair of trousers. Rev.Mr Clarke's was
next visited, and here the thieves appar-
emily got nothing. Mr.. A. r. Wright's
was attempted, without success At Mr..
Copeland's, a cottager from New York,
they made.one of their best hauis. There
they secured some trousers and other
property. At Mr.. Nichols, they enjoyed
quite a picnic. They sat down and
Toasted on food taken from the pantry,
obtained. three fine watches and twenty
cents in cash. At Mr.. George Fletcher IS
they went in the back door and out of
the front, securing some trifles. Mr..
George Payson's and other cottages were
entered, but little was obtained. 1t is
thought the burglaries were the work of
tramps.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Side Show.


"The Side Show. the new play in
which James b. Mackie and company
will appear at the Portland Theatre next
Thursday evening, is purely farcical
comedy. Astounding in strong situations,
laughable complications and amusing in
cidents. 1t might be called speaking
panGomime, so full is it of trick effects
unusually found in plays of that sort
These trick effects are all original, and
some of them are very surprising. All of
last season Mr.. Mackie was nusily Ell
gagged in planning the details of this
piece, and his summer vacation has been
spent in experimenting the construction
OF the paraphernalia. Every piece of
scenery, every costume, and every spec
ialty is new this year, the entire produc-
tion representing an outlay of nearly
$40, 900.
A Circus Clown.
George Richards and Eugene Garfield
have, for mum Der of years, been recog-
nized as two of the best character come :
dams on the American stage Among
the plays in which they have appeared
are Fun on the Bristol,n GA Bunch of
Keys" Sis" I'VE, Us & Cor "A Hole
in the Ground" A Tin Soldiers A
Midnight Bell" and IA Temperance
Town. The past two seasons Mr.. Rich
ards has played the role of mink
Jones, and Mr.. Garfield that of his son
"Bingo,n in Charlie Hoyt's ga TEN per-
ance Town." their characterizations Of
the two parts being largely responsible
for the great popularity which the piece
enjoyed. Next Saturday evening at the
Portland Theatre, our theatre goers will
have the pleasure of seeing them in two
new roles, supported by their own COM
pany, in a new comedy drama aThe
Circus Clown" written especially for
them by Fred j. Yeaman.
The Dazzler.
"The Dazzler" will be seen at Port
land Theatre soon. The piece has been
entirely. rewritten, and now has very
clever plot and story told in the breez-
, iestsway. The company is the strongest
that has ever been seen in the piece, in
Guiding Florrie West, Charlie Wayne,
Luella Wagner, Mason and Rolston, the
Dewitt Sisters, Billie West and dozen
other clever people. and the wardrobe
and music are entirely new from start
to finish. Elaborate scenery is a feature
of this years production, and several
new specialties, including beautiful
and brilliant song and dance for eight
of the young ladies with striking cleo
trio effects. are among the new things.
The Pavilion.
A prertier piece than that of "May
Blossom" is seldom seen as presented by
the McCallum company, at McCallum's
Pavilion at Peaks Island Although the
weather was very bad last night, the at.
tendance was good and showed apprecia-
ton of the clever work of the company
by loud applause, demanding curtain
call at the closing of every act MAY
Blossom" is certain to make n great hit
as it is strong play and one which
shows the entire company to advantage.
1t will doubtle IS do big business.

The Silver men of Storey printed
the following on the back of their
primary tickets:
To THE PEOPLE OF STOREY COUNTY.
The Silver Party of Nevada is still
alive, and intends to nominate and
elect a Representative to Congress,
Governor and other State officers,
and to name and elect every officer
in every county in the State.
The only issue in the campaign is
Silver. The Republican Party de-
monetized it, and the Democratic
party refused to restore it to its pro-
per place, although both parties I've
repeatedly promised in plat forms to
do So.
Ths people of Nevada know t."~
that the mining industry o. til, ~te
will never flourish under Reut II
or Democra tic rule. anu that II e
lief can be expected on he :I,,cr
question excep, through the de
pendent action Of tie IeopIe. The
Silver Party of Nevada is organized
for the sole purpose of restoring
silver to its proper place as money
metal and is pledged to make all
other questions subordinate to it.
The Storey County Central Com
mittee of the Silver Party therefore
invites all citizens of the county who
love their home better than party to
manifest 1t by recording their names
and depositing a vote for delegats 3
