The brutes are made to form pyramids, to
hold ribbons over which trained dogs leap
and finally to haul their trainer around the

assisted by huge white boarhound, or the
boarhound was assisted by Mr.. Darling, it
was hard to tell which. The dog barked i'll
the lions faces and bossed them around
in manner delightful to see, proceeding
which the big brutes treated with scant
notice. The show remains one week, with

e. Burton Holiness Lecture.
Mr. f. Burton Holmes gave the first of
his series of illustrated lectures before
large audience at Plymouth Church last
evening. Mr.. Holmes gives a graphic ac-
count of trip which he took with a COM
panion. The trip was into Algeria and
from the civilized portions down through
the desert into a settlement where there
were twenty mosqus for the 1000 inhabi-
tants. The pictures are not the regulation
scenes which many lecturers give with
their talks, but are bright and interest
ing lot They are splenddly dissolved
and are well colOred. In connection with
the pictures there are accounts of incl
dents and accidents, customs and pc
a continuous and interesting story TO
make it more real the lecturer and his
friend appear in some of the pictures. One
of the most interesting parts of the lecture
last night, which, by the way. had the sub
ject of "Oases Of the Algerian Sahara
of this settlement before mentioned.
The speaker thought he would send a
telegram to Chicago. The bearers of the
electric current have not been erected in
this out-of-the-way place. The French
government, which has taken possession of
the country. has signal stations every
twenty or thirty miles. AT night by means
of a flash light messages are sent from the
high towers built. The picture of the
tower was shown, and then by means of
flash light the signal as it appeared to the
tourist was shown. This as well as many
other scenes and descriptions, was warmly
applauded by the audience. For small fee
trip was taken without any trouble or
fatigue hundreds of miles into a country
filled with danger and excitement and into
anything to be seen elsewhere. During the
journey and even in the far away places
