The ONLY WOMAN CLOWN

Miss Williams Claims the Unique Distinc-
ton and Talks of Her Work.
my reason for becoming a CLOWN -
said Miss Williams, the only lady clown
on earth, according to the circus bills,
"was to make money. My father was
a clown for 40 years. He had 21 chill
dren, and all Of them were in this bust
ness in some capacity or other, generally
as acrobats and tumblers. | was not
suited for an acrobat. 1t is too hard
work. l thought that | would become a
clown. There are 10 of our family now
in the circus business. Every day 1 try
to think out something new, and the
management usually gives me pretty
wide latitude. l am a fair tumbler and
manage to get along all right. l shall
probably stop in this business until l
get married. Of course 1 hope to get
married some day. Every woman does.
Miss Williams is a rather understood
woman, about rs years old, with an
abundance Of health and energy. She
rides a bicycle, swings Indian clubs and
does everything else that a man does to
keep herself in proper trim. One of her
favorite tricks as a clown is to put on
a bonnet and a long cloak and then sit
by some innocent young man in the
audience. In nine cases out of ten he is
very much preoccupied in the perform
ance and does not pay any attention to
her. Suddenly she astonishes him by
shouting to the ringmaster for a Job.
He takes the cue and begins to dicker
with her.
How much will you give me?"
"Ten dollars a performance"
"Oh, no! This young man here that
l am engaged to will give me more than
that to stop here with him." IGreat

A MARVELLOUS MIRROR.
DR.. Peate's Magnificent Gift to the New
American UniversitY.

DR.. Peate's Magnificent Gift to the New
American University.
At his home in Greenville, Pa, in q
shop to which is attached a testing gal
lery GO feet in length, the Rev. John
Peate, D. D., is preparing to fashion
the %speculum of the great telescope for
the American university, an institution
of the Methodist Episcopal church, now
taking to ITSELF local habitation on
the heights near the national capital.
A dozen years ago the doctor con.
ceived the project Of grinding the prin.
cipal mirror of a rejecting telescope,
and, to use his own phrase, ~"groped"
his way to success in a field where the
angels of science tread lightly, if at all,
and in which a single ircautious touch
may result il hours of retrieving toll.
He has produced specula 6, s, 10 and
20 inches in diameter, and a year or two
since finished a disk of 80 inches for
presentation to Allegheny college. If
he shall succeed in the incredibly diff
cult task of imparting a perfect figure
to the present disk, which is 60 inches
in diameter, it will be q remarkable
triumph of skill and a prodigy Of labor.

Decentralization in Rates Results in One
Fare for Round Trip.
CHICAGO, April 29.-Homeseekers ex.
cursions are steadily demoralizing rates.
All Of the Western roads have now
made the rate of one fare for the round
trip. The original rate was one fare
for the round trip plus So. The reason
for the reduction is that the one fare
rate has been made by nearly all the
Southwestern lines and it was decided
that the Southwest should have no adj
vantage over the West ard Northwest.
The Burlington was the first road out
with it's announcement when it declared
that on April 80, May 21 and June II,
it would run it's excursions at n fare.

Superiority of American Labor.

Exporting American boots to England
is an achievement to be proud of, but
it is an accomplished fact. The labor
cost in American boots is less than in
England, though the per diem earnings
OF the American workman are larger
than those of his English brother. The
American superiority is in method and
energy. American superiority in boot
making is only the forerunner of much
more that is coming. -Pittsburg Dis

The year 1895 will be remarkable one,

The Advance in Price Has Come to Stay,

DULUTH, April 2O.-Franklin Rookie
Teller, vice president Of the Standard
Oil company, is in town on the way to
his mine on the Mesaba range. He
says the Standard is taking every par
eel of oil offered to it, which is about
100, 900 barrels a day, and paying a
slight advance on the certificate price.
From present appearances, he says,
''the day Of cheap oil has passed, as the
supply is not equal to the demand.
Very little money wa lost by the re-
cent drop from the top notch, because
certificates for not to exceed 1000, 600
barrels had been traded in"
He sees in the advance and use.

mand for those products will be enor-

SAFELY GAINING.
Reports Of Condition of Trade
Continue in the Right
Direction.
CONFIDENCE AGAIN RESTORED.
1t Now Occupies the Throne
So Long Held by
DiStruSt.

NEW YORK, April 2O.-R. G.. Dun g.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Neither the rising speculative mar
kets nor the steady gain in industries
has ceased, and it is wholesome that
there are fewer signs Of hesitation in
the productive industries than in specu-
lative prices. Wage strikes grow more
numerous and cause some trouble. and
retail demand lags behind wholesale
and jobbing purposes, but through
many conflicting reports the fact shines
GU that the industries are gaining, not
with a rush and whirl, but more safely.
1t IS less clear that railroads are increas-
ing their earnings, or that overproduc-
ton Of cotton will be cured by the adj
anc OF 10 cents in prices, or that cor.
nering short sellers Of wheat will help
to market the large surplus, but
REVIVAL of Activity
in all these directions helps confidence
to take the throne so long held by dis
trust. Cotton mills are getting more
money for goods and have quite gener-
ally advanced wages. Consumption of
Northern spinners at the maximum
would be in eight months 1850, 900
bales, but they have actually taken
1,950,000 The structural demand for
buildings throughout the country was
neve larger, the frenzy in oil has
started a demand for pipes and sheets
at slight advances. Wool has sold at
the lowest price on record this week, 16
cents for Ohio and 9 cents for Texas.
Demand for dress goods continues
large and improving, but uncertainty
in mems goods continues and is ONE
what increased by more numerous
strikes. Higher prices for wheat, nearly
8 cents above last weeks, tend to check
Atlantic exports, which, flour included,
were only 1865, 1878 bushels for the
week against 2 1870, 445 last year, though
for the previous two weeks about equal
to last year.

The city Of Boston is about to recciyo ,'
legacy OF 500, 600 for tho use of poor chill
dren who desire to go into tho country for
the summer season. 1t comes from Mr.
George S. Rondidge, who died ohildless in
that city few years ago
Mr. Rondidge was the fashionable
tailor. It.was believed in circles where
people were particular about the set of
their clothes that he could out them AS no
other man; hence no had his own prices
for his work Ho did it all himself. He
had small shop outside the business
quarters Of the city, where he stood at the
bench with his shears day IN and day out.
Ho had all the work he could do and took
his own time for it. IN summer he would
leave it carly have a magnificent span Of
milk white horses sent to him, which he
owned and go with his wife to ride.
They were q conspicuous figure on our
streets and in our suburbs. He lived in a
fine house at the south end (not tho fash
ionable quartcr), and he had apparently
no society, but everybody knew Rondidge,
and no was sought to cut clothes as a
favor He would cut for any one who was
willing to pay, and he did not seem par
ticularly proud of his select class of Gus
toners. IIa had something like genius for
stylish fitting and was unquestionably a
rare mechanic in this speciality His
method was unique, and when he died he
left no successor in it.
He was supposed TO have made money,
but as he did not extend his business be
You'd what he himself could do in it, it was
not expected that he would leave "a very
large fortune Such as he had e.rno7 he
has made excellent use of.-HartiOrd
Courant.
