LIVELY TINE At A CIRCUS
Bad Blood Aroused by a HaSty and
Reckless Attendant.
MANY ROPES OF THE TENT CUT.
The Audience was Quickly Dismissed as
the Tent Gave Evidence of Falling-A
Canvassman Fired at Boy VINO
Tried to Crawl Under the Tent.

The people who attended the performance
of TIuntings circus at the Trotting park last
night got more in the sensational line than
the program called for, and side issues of "a
very realistic character just before the
performance commenced the report of a
pistol shot rang through the air. IL startled
many of the audience under the tent, but
the circus employees re-assurcd those who eN-
pressed alarm and the matter was evidently
dismissed from thought by the audience.
1t was not so outside the tent, however.
The shot which caused the report had been
fired by a canvasSman at a boy who tried to
crawl under the tent to see the performance.
Fortunately the bullet went wide of its mark
and nobody was injured; but others who were
assembled outside the tent took up the boy $
cause and determined upon vengeance for
the shooting. The canvassmen were kept
busy all night preventing intrusion and dam
age to the tent, but in spite Of their utmost
vigilance the boys finally got in their work
by cutting the ropes Of the tent. The inn
meusc canopy commenced to sink gradually,
but not enough to cause any alarm until the
performance was about over, when the final
act was hurriedly performed and the ring
master announced that owing to the cutting
Of many Of the tent ropes the manager did
not consider it safe to give the concert that
usually follows the performances. The
audience concurred in the opinion and left
the place without delay.
The boss canvassman Of the circus subse-
quently stated that sixteen ropes of the
main tent had been cut and it was with the
greatest difficulty that his men succeeded in
preventing the tent from falling during the
performance.
! There was no personal encounter between
the canvassmen and the outsiders, and it is
fortunate that there was not, as the circus
men were prepared for any emergency and
an encounter would have been costly to the
outsiders. Hunting's circus was attacked by
a crowd in a similar manner several year,
ago while here and later Hunting threatened
suit for $4,000 damages against the borough
but the matter ended in threats.

PERsIA's TURQUOISE MINES.
Only tho Most Primitive Methods Are
in Vogue.

Only tho Most Primitive Methods Are
in Vogue.
The only turquoise mines in the
world that have been worked extern
sively or that have produced gems per-
feet in form and color, are those near
Nishapur, in northern Persia, says the
New York Times. The British vice
consul at Meshed recently visited the
mines. He says that on approaching
them from Nishapur, after entering the
low hills and gradually ascending, one
arrives first at the villages inhabited
by the miners, which are on undulat-
Ing ground about 5000 feet above sea
level After another gradual ascent
for about a mile by very good road,
the foot Of hill about 1000 feet In
height Is reached. All the mines are
on the south face of this hill and from
the first to the last the distance as the
crow flies Is not more than half mile.
The Relish mine, which is the only one
now worked on large scale or with
Vigor, produces the greater part Of the
turquoises at present sent to mar
ket. 1t Is near the top Of one Of the
highest ridges at an altitude Of about
5000 feet above sea level. The en-
trance is a hollowed-out cave, about
twelve yards across, with a YER
teal shaft some five yards in diameter.
Only most primitive methods are in
vogue.

the enraged monarch. He wanted tAo

means intend to lose three-quartSrS OF

spare Borgio'B life, but got even by

was not lnconsiderable. It has been
conjectured that In cutting It, the dia-
mond was divided, and the other half
became the orlOff stone.
In its reduced form the stone passed
along from generation to generation,
causing wars and riots innumerable,
until in 1849, upon the conquest Of the
Punjaub, 1t passed from the owner
ship Of Runjeet Sing to that of Queen
Victoria. It has since been re-cut, and
now weighs 100 1-16 karats.

A NEW INTOxICANT.
Latest Drunkenness Results from Ins
haling Smelling Salts.

Latest Drunkenness Results from In.
haling Smelling Salts.
The very latest sort Of drunkenness
Is that which, 1t has been discovered,
comes from the constant inhalation of
smelling salts, says the New York
Journal. So great a hold has the
smelling salts habit gained upon the
modern woman that when she Is de-
prived Of them she experiences all the
cravings that afflict the person who
dearly loves liquor and finds himself
deprived Of 1t. Some Of the salts are OF
excessive strength and produce a sort
Of stupor most gratifying to the victim.
More than one woman has been sus-
pected Of drinking when really her
inebriety has resulted from a too lib
eral use of the smelling bottle. Not
long ago titled lady was carried from
the cloak room OF grand reception
In London In state Of helplessness. A
bottle was found in the folds Of her
gown containing matter of a strength
sufficient to take away the breath of
an ordinary person. The rumor spread
with wonderful precision that my lady
was confirmed drunkard-the SMELL
ing salts theory being derided by the
majOrity-and the victim found 1t
necessary to withdraw from the social
circle she had long graced. Indulgence
in this habit may become expensive,
for the seasoned subject soon exhausts
the strength of the salts. AS sttmula-
ton of the olfactory nerves Is not alone
the reason of this practice it becames
necessary to renew the supply, and
once enchanted the slave will accept
nothing that does not yield full virtues.
The story is told of an elderly lady who
calls upon a chemist every two or three
days and requests the replenishing OF
no fewer than eight smelling bottles,
some of which are not OF diminutive
size.

The DRkotas.

1t will never be known whether North
or South Dakota became a state first.
When the two proclamations were pre-
scented for the presidents signature
somebody raised the question Of prior
ity and the president, finding 1t hard
to decide which to sign first, ordered
the documents, which were exactly
alike, to be covered down to the blanks
left for his name They were turned
down and rapidly changed about until
nobody could tell which was which.
After this they were turned over and
the president wrote his name on each.
The ink was allowed to dry without
the use Of plotting paper and the docu-
ments were again turned down and
again shuffied about. They were then
taken up and the coverings removed.

NEW CHINA.
Pretty Novelties and Reproductions Of
Old Patterns.

Old Patterns.
Table china has never been richer OIL
moro beautiful than 1t Is at present
and there are so many different styles
to choose from that 1t Is a difficult
matter to decide which one prefers,
says the New York Herald. But with
little good taste one can get together
most charming dinner or tea service
from the various kinds Of china
brought out this fall. AS has been the
case for some time past, 1t is not fash
i0nable to have q whole set Of one kind
Of china. White and gold, or ivory
and gold, continues to be used most OF
all for the principal dishes, and next
to that the color most used Is green.
1t is in every form of decoration this
year. II is used in combination with
gold to great extent. The principal
styles of decoration are the rocco,
Louis XVI. and empire styles. The ro-
coco Is being used most OF all on the
very handsome china, as well as on fine
glass for the table. Many beautiful
plates have rocco borders of embossed
gold on colors. Flower decorations are
also very much the fashion, especially
roses. One beautiful new design Is q
reproduction OF old Sevres and Is
formed of punches of roses, caught to-
gether with blue ribbon, which runs
In curves and loops all around each
piece of china. Reproductions Of old
designs are quite the thing In these
days, and china follows this fashion.
A novelty Of this season is high chOc-
olate cup Of rather peculiar shape.
Some Of thcs are green and gold, rocco
co style, with four Vatican figures on
each cup and each saucer. Another
style is also decorated with Vatican
figures, but has a background Of gold,
with high glaze, and the inside of the
cups, too, is gilded. Quite an original
Idea is the three-handled loving cups
If glass for flowers in the center Of the
table. These cups are made in clear
white glass, cut glass and green and
gold.
