The name OF Custis reminds me of a series of
visits TO Arlington which have now become
historical memories. | had the honor and
pleasure to be taken there by Mrs. Sigourney,
one of our New England celebrities, whom we
all wOrshiped. Literary ladies were not so
common then as now, and they were far more
bOnored. Mrs. SIgourney was plain Puritan,
but she had a great deal of natural TACT and
somehow had a fascination for the Southern
ers. / remember that we drove to Arlington
one sunny afternoon late in May, a delicious
day, and we found the ladies', Mrs. Custis. and
Mrs. Lee, expecting us. We had tea in the
Washington teaeups, and Mrs. Lee took me
into the tangled neglected gardens, full OF rose
buds, and allowed me TO pick my till of the
sweet dainty Bon Sene variety, which she
told me blOSsomed all winter. What q view
that wasl The view is there still; the rest how

Cost of Advertising a Circus.

The various phases OF show advertising are
appar emily simple, until you come TO circus ad-
yertising, which is on a scale unknown to the
theatrical world. This not only IN the vast
amount OF money annually invested in ii. but in
The perfect labyrinth OF details incidental 10
the system. A single advertising car. sucD as
used by Barnum s. Bailey, independently OF the
money invested In the car and the paper
handled by il, costs $1,000 week. Multiply
this by SIX, the number OF cars thus used by
that firm. ana you have the sum total of $4,000
a week for this single line OF advertising. Each
car carries sixteen men and Is accompanied by
a responsible manager and by an advance press
agent, who attends 10 the newspaper end Oh The

The most innocent person knows, the quality OF
the show is not 10 be judged by the character OF
the bills or the square yards of boards covered.
There is probably no other business IN the
world that expends anything like the money in
advertising that Is invested In heraldlDg the
advent OF the modern circus. And there Is
probably no investment OF money that yields a
more certain, immediate and liberal return.

a town day outside of the big cities where the
show remains longer than that time. Car is
an exception, being known as the skirmlshing
or opposition car, and running here and there
where special work is TO BE- done because OF
the opposition of other shows or for other rea-

trains, not limited, on the roads with which the
circus railroad contractor has previously made

Wild Cossack Riders.

In the Century Messrs. Allen and Sachte-
ben, who went around the world on bicycles,
give the following account Of one of their expe.
rences in Turkestan:
One of the chief incidents OF our pleasant
sojourn was afforded by Governor Ivanoff. We
were invited TO head the procession OF the Cos
sacks on their annual departure for their sum-
mer encampment in the mountains. After the
usual religious ceremony they filed out from
the city parade ground. Being unavodaby de-
tanned for few moments we did not come up
until some time after the column had started.
AS we dashed by 10 the front with the Ameri.
can and Russian flags flntterng side by side
from the handle-bars cheer after cheer arose
from the ranks, and even the Governor and his
party doffed their caps in ack n0wledgment.
AT the camp we were favored with spe-
ciaI exhibition OF hOrsemanship. BY single
twist of the reins the steeds would fall to
the ground. and their riders crouch down
behind them as a bulwark on the field OF bat
tie. Then Gashing forward at full speed,
they would spring TO the ground, and leap back
again into the saddle, or, hanging by their legs
would reach over and pick up a handkerchief :,
cap or soldier supposed to be wounded. All
these movements we photographed with our
camera. or the endurance OF these Cossacks
and their KirghlZ horses we had practical
test. OVertakiDg d C0SSack courier In the early
part of days journey, he became so inter-
ested in The veocipede, as the Russians call the
bicycle, that he determined 10 see as much OF 1t
as possible. He stayed with US the Whole DAY
over distance of fifty-five miles. His CHIEF
compensation was in witnessing the surprise oil
the natives, TO whom he would shout across
the fields TO come and see the tomsha. adding In
explanation that we were the American gentle
men who had ridden all the way from America.
Our speed was not slow, and frequently the
poor fellow would have to resort to the whip or
shout, SLOWLY, gentlemen, my horse Is tired !;
the town is not far away; it Is not necessary 10
hurry So" The fact is, that in all our expe.
rience we found no horse of even tile famed
Krghiz or 1urkoman breed that could travel
with the same ease aud rapldity as ourselves
even over the most ordinary road.

HERE TO PAINT.
Artist w. II. Crane Comes
to California.
HE is AN AMERICAN IDEAL.
The Noted Painter and Designer at
Work in His Friends Studio
in Berkeley.
HE IS AN AMERICAN IDEAL.

Among the Eastern artists speculation
is rife as to what has befallen W. H.
Crane, the celebrated designer and painter,
whose work is perhaps the best known of
all. artistic productions in America
through magazine illustrations, water and
oil pictures and photographic reproduc-
tons. All the time the East was seeing
something new from Mr.. Cranes studio,
but suddenly his remarkably brilliant
work stopped. and only few friends
could answer why.
Crane has gone West somewhere. to
come back with original material" critics
have said. "We shall see more novelties
in art from him before wiuteT-time."
The assertion made without other foun-
dalton than a knowledge of the artists
habits proves to De correct, although
whether Crane remains at home or travels
in the byways he is always original
amazingly original At least that Is the
