this spring. comprised in circus, menag-
cries, hippodrome, and the great Elmo
logical Congress savage tribes and il is
a safe prediction to make that nothing
like it has ever been witnessed here.
The whole organization is conducted
with view to presenting the best and
most that money and energy can bring
together. The horses are slicl,, finely
kept and strong, the ladies are nearly
all young and pretty, the animals are
splendid specimens Of their respective
classes, and full arrangements are made
for the accommodation and comfort
of visitors.
Among the more notable specimens
of animals in the menagerie are huge
rhinoceros, a gigantic hoppopotamus OF
behemoth, cage of splendid tigers,
containing one which was captured
only eight months ago, which is the
largest in captivity, several African
and two Asiatic lions. One OF these is
the original for the famous painting by
Pope, made recently in London. There
are also the only genuine full-booded
zebra in America, the rings running
down 10 his hoofs; Well-kept, harte
beste, the only one travelling, bis
antelope, splendid specimen OF The
Indian yak, a polar bear recently
brought from Norway, some Persian
sheep, never before exhibited the only
adds, Gland, water box, Tar hog, and
giraffe in the country, 4 nylghau, and
u elephants, among them Tom Thumb
the little trick animal: giant gorilla
Johanna, Chicko's widow the fame OF
which has extended all over the world,
and without doubt the greatest living
attraction ever seen with an exhibition.
The circus exhibition has three rings
and two stages, racing track, and steel
barred trained animal arena, and the
number OF performers is largely in ex-
cess of those ever seen before. Many
of them are European celebrities, and
their acts are novel and original. The
most graceful and difficult OF all the
equestrian acts are performed by young
and handsome women, and only champ
ions appear i'll all of the eighty circus
acts.
The exhibition Of the trained animals
and elephant is a marvellous one. One
herd contains dozen huge beasts, one
Of which is only lew inches less in
height than Jumbo. While wild beasts
and domestic animals peform at once
in the armenia.
Everything in and about The Barnum

HOW 1T AFFECTS POOR MEN.
Seattle. Nov. %. 1895.

Seattle. NOV. -. 1870.
To the Editor: / see in an editorial this
morning YOU assert that a poor man
should vote against the proposed city
gravity plan. You state EVERY man
has had 10 pay for water for his house
and extra for his little garden" Now. as
a matter of fact, no one who has little
garden" pays extra for it, every one being
free 10 irrigate without cost 10 square
feet of ground.
Again, you also state that. If this plan
is not adopted, ne may expect great re-
auctions some time in the future in his
water rates. He may expect the Same
under the city plan. as the ordinance sim
ply provides that the gross receipts, to-
wit, $4,000 shall not be decreased by
lowering OF rates. The council can de-
crease rates as much as il pleases when
the gross receipts exceed $4,000 per an
mum.
But are you not using one argument
for the rich and another for the poor?
You tell the rich man the water rates
must be kept up, so his taxes Will not
be increased, and therefore he must vote
against the ordinance. You tell the poor
man he must vote against the ordinance
so his water rates will be reduced. have
always been told you could not eat your
cake and have it.
Now, if this ordinance is approved by
the people. there will be no change in tho
present existing conditions until 1925, for
not one cent of the principal orinterest on
these warrants will be paid until this
water is actually delivered into the city
mains Then. and not until then, does
the interest commence TO run. and then,
as you say. we hope the large amount OF
delinquent taxes now due viii be paid.
l can understand how the nonresident
owner of improved property might OPP
pose the city plan. but ] cannot under
stand how the resident owner of his own
own home can do so. II. r. elise.

were made of curved strips of cloth
stitched one upon the other and edged
with tiny Valenciennes lace. A pointed
cuff was edged with lace, as was also
the silk bow which was knotted at the
neck.
One of the prettiest black coats was
satin-like broadcloth, which had a
pointed poke-piece stitched down, and
all the seams were stitched and beveled.
Among the novelties was dark green
jacket with long points in front, and a
short cadet back. This was trimmed
with black gimp.
in front had long, sloping revers, with
velvet trimmings.
These Jackets that do not fasten are
intended to be worn with fancy fronts
of silk, satin or lace, and the fronts
that are made and exhibited in the
shops are as various as the capes.
1t Is perhaps cheaper to make these
oneself, as it is usually simple mat
ter, but the shops furnish novel ideas.
A front of blue gauze, fastened to a
stock and belt, had strips of narrow
Valenciennes insertion, edged with
lace running down the middle of the
front and forming wide band, and
other narrower bands ut each edge
The collar had two points turning
down on each side, which were made
of quartcr-inch blue moire ribbon and
white insertion sewed together.
Most of the fronts are made with O
yoke. A blue satin front is tucked
down few inches to form yoke, and
then hangs blouse fashion. Collars are
made with yoke of points surrounded
by a flounce of wide chiffon. Yellow
or grayish white is the usual tint.

New CARLISLE, May AT IL o'clock
Sunday night fire broke out in Charles
Gardners livery stable and spread so
rapidly that in half an hour the busi-
ness portion of the town was enveloped
in flames. The fire was thought to
have been the work of an incendiary.
The following buildings were among
those destroyed: Town hall, including
mayors Office and police headquarters
all the township records We're burned,
insurance $4,000; Staley's hotel, insur-
ance $500; the Gem opera house and
Max Holtzmiller's bakery.
While Holtzmiller was trying to save
his goods he was caught by the flames
and before he was rescued he received
terrible burns. His injuries are pro-
nounced fatal. The property loss is
estimated at ST5, 900.

smothered to Death.

CHLLIcoTuE, May s.-Christian Som
mer, German tailor, aged 66, quar-
relied with his wife, over some beer. He
left home, bidding every one good-by,
and saying he was going to Columbus,
or would kill himself. Failing to re-
turn. search was made for him, and on
Monday night his dead body was found
wedged in culyert near the river
bridges, with the face in the mud. No
marks of violence nor traces of poison
were found, and it is supposed he
crawled into the culvert to sleep and,
being unable to get out again, smoth-
