Giant aud Pigny Creatures and Two Huge
Gorillas.
Curious living wonders in great
profusion are to be seen in the two
menageries of sBarnum & Bailey's
Greatest show on earth. which is to
exhibit here Sept. IL. Among them
group OF natures most gigantic.
curious and diminutivc specimens o.
animals. There is a full-sizcd and
perfectly formed hairless horse. its
glossy body devoid OF even a single
hair. and which but for the fact Of
its being alive would seem to have
been carved out Of stone. Another
queer-looking animal is q steer with
three perfectly formed horns. three
perfect eyes and three regular nos
trils, but which, in all other respects,
corresponds to the average animal.
Still another rare sight is the giant
OK, almost as big as some of the ele-
plants, which stand six feet one inch
or 1si hands high. q truly mon
ster specimen. BY way Of con-
trast to these latter, are several
diminutive cattle, veritabIe dwarfs,
81 inches, or only eight hands high,
the entire forming probably one of
the most interesting and wonderful
collections OF odd, gigantic and
strange living beasts ever seen. To
these have just been added two of
the most remarkable animals on the
face of the globe-a giant and giant
ess gorilla, Chiko and johanna
| whose fame has extended all over the
world. These wonderful creatures.
more nearly approach man in their
appearance and actions than anv
other animals known to exist, and in
their anatomy differ only in slight
respects. II these curious and rare
animals survive the changes of eli
mate in this country. they will prove
the greatest attraction ever seen
| even in that world of wonders, the
| greatest show on earth Besides
these again there are savage beasts
who perform a. series of wonderful
tricks in harmony with milder crea
lures like sheep. dogs, goats, storks.
| ponies and monkeys. the whole eX-
hibition taking place in an immense
steel-barred Enclosure called an arena.
A weaponlcss trainer enters this
place and forces lions to ride upon the
backs of horses. harness others to
chariots with lion drivers. makes
bears dance, leopards. hyenas. pam
theirs. wolves, tigers and other car
nivorous brutes play and perform
with tmid lambs and sheep and dogs
and goats. These are bnt a few OF
the new attractions OF the show this
year. for there are 16 champion male
and female bareback riders. hosts OF
aerialists. gymnasts, clowns and
acrobats. An chronological congress
OF strange. savage. cannibal and
idolotrous tribes and races of human
beings. an equestrian tournament
real Cossack encampment. three
rings, two stages, race track, two

Catarrh starts in the nasal pas
sages, affecting eyes. ears and throat
and is in fact. the great enemy Of the
mucus membrane. Neglected colds
in the head almost invariably pre-
cede catarrh. causing an excessive
flow OF mucus, and if the mucus dis
charge becomes interrupted results
of catarrh will follow, such as bad
breath. severe pain across forehead
and about the eyes,. roaring and
buzzing sound in the ears and often
times a very offensive discharge.
Ely's Cream Balm is the ackpowl-
edged cure for these troubles.

Mrs. Mary =. Lease Claims to be in Posses
sion of Masonic Secrets.

KANSAS CITY. MO. Feb. IA spe-
cial from Topeka says:
Mary T.. Lease claims 70 be Mason.
and she made the statement to-day that
she proposed to organize lodges OF Mason
~ for women throughout the country.
Mrs. Lease wears upon her bosom, sus-
pended by n gold chain, a knight Tenn
plar charm, with the usual keystone Of
the chapter on the reverse side. and she
declares that she is as much entitled TO
wear IL as any man who belongs TO the
Templar order.
She says her cOmmandery Is Hugh De-
Payne. of Fort Scott, Kansas, and offers
to prove to Masons that she knows all
the signs and passes of the order, blue
lodge, and chapter, and that she obtained
them legltimately. She says if Masonry
is good for men II is much better for
women. as they are more needful Of
protection than men.
She says that once by giving n sign of
the order she was saved from personal vio-
lence. and from that moment she resolved
10 give to women the same advantages
Of Masonry that she enjoyed. She said
that she was thoroughly up i'm the Masonic
work, ana 10 was not necessary for her
to obtain the consent or aid OF men in
initiating women. and If the men refused
% recognize her disciples as Masons they
could and would act Independently of
them and conduct lodges and grand lodges
OF their own Mrs. Lease admits that it
Is contrary 10 the Masonic rule for women
to become members. but she declines to
state how she gained the secrets OF the
order. She challenges any Mason TO test
her on the secret work of the order.

PRICE THREE CENTS:

Thursday night by the premature explo-
sion OF a bomb or chemicals that he was
carrying, with the militant Anarchists
who have fled to England from the Con-
tinent for asylum. Among the papers
found on Bourdin was a bill made out by
a hotel in Brussels. A number OF spheri-
cal glass bombs filed with explosives
were found a few days ago In the hotel
named on the billhead. Bourdin was re-
Gently absent from London for several
days, and these facts indicate that 1t
was he who owned the bombs In the
Brussels hotel. The police are keeping a
close watch on all the Anarchists here.
The theory that Bourdin intended to
blow up the Greenwich Observatory is
hardly tenable. An Anarchist outrage In
London or elsewhere in England would
probably result in such regulations re-
garding foreign Ans chists being taken
that they lose the only refuge they have
I'm Europe. 10 Is. therefore. considered
that they would not commit an act in this
country that would probably result in
their expulsion.
