GLORlES OF OLD ROME.
RngIing Bros. Realistic Reproduction of the
 Ancient Hippodrome.

In the grand Roman hippodrome, which forms an important feature of Ringing Bros worlds greatest shows, which ex- hibit in Birmingham Friday, October 30 a strikingly successful effort has been made to embody all that was most char acteristic of the thrilling racing contests of old Rome, when Julius Caesar was at the pinnacle of his power. The great hlp- podrome course, the solfdly carved and highly ornate chariots: the madly dash ing, gorgeously caparisoned horses. them- selves partaling of the excitement and intensity of the hotly contested and peril ous struggle; the seemingly reckless and yet infinitely skillful chariot drivers, with tunics flying, and whip and voice urging the straining horses to greater exertions; the picturesque standing races, alike re- markable in man and beast: the Graeeo- Roman contests by Herculean gadiators mounted on horseback; the galy colored costumes, the waving banners the pic ture-like and kaleidoscopic colors, indis- pensable to a scene transported from the days of Roman imperial splendor into the prosaic nineteenth century-al1 combine to constitute scene of grandeur that can never be forgotten. The hippodrome feat ures are not, however, confined to the contests of the Roman era. The best features of the modern turf have been combined with the reproduction Of the once famed Maximus. These embrace elephant races ladies' and gentlemen's s flat and hurdle races, pony races for the pleasure of the younger element. in which trained monkeys are utilized as riders; comical clown races; contests in which heet-footed men outrun the swift est horses; curiously exciting races be- tween Whippet hounds, and many other interesting contests of this kind never be- fore introduced on @ hippodrome track. A striking feature of all these races, and that which commends itself to every lov- CT of high class stock, is the character of the horses. In this essential Ringing Brothers have also out-diStanced all com petitors, and the racing stock. selected from the best of the 400 magnificent horses owned and used by the show. has no peer in this country. An inspection of these finely bred. d.perfectly-trained horses will more than demonstrate the absolute justice of this statement. Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest Shows are now beyond all question or doubt the largest com bined circus, menagerie and hippodrome that the world has ever seen: the arenic features number over a. hundred high class performers, including the wonder ful Nelson family of nine acrobats, the greatest act of it's kind in the world. and a complete congress of trained animal sensations; the menagerie embraces three herds of notwithstanding and pyramid forming elephants, including a troupe of baby elephants; the only living chimpan- zee in the United States, a monster hip popotamus and more other rare wild beasts than all other shows combined; and the whole ie preceded by gorgeous reproduction of the Festival Of Olympus, the most glorious reSplendent carnival spectacle under canvas.

Viking Dies rom a Bullet Fired by an Un-
 known Hand.
 New York Herald.
 Viking, prize winning Great Dane dog, owned by Mrs. Sarah P. Wagstaff who lives at her country seat, Tallulah, was killed last night by unknown per- sons on the premises of Col Alfred Wag- staff, the woman's son. Viking and his mate. Rex, were the terror of the neigh borhood. For several years they frequent y attacked pedestrians, and they were the special enemy of wffeelmen.
 The dogs two years ago killed A fine bred Jersey COW and calf owned by Mrs Wagstan and drank their blood in sight or several members of the family Close watch was kept onlthe dogs for a while after this, but at length they were allow edto run loose, and many complaints were hled with Mrs. Wagstaff by persons who narrowly escaped being devoured by the dogs, which would occasionally attack horses. Persons who had to pass the Wagstan place usually went armed and on several occasions the dogs received doses of cold lead, which, however. seem ed to have little effect on them Rex was the more savage of the two, and several months ago was given to friends of the family.
 Viking, Mrs. wagstaff averred. was as gentle as kitten, and he was allowed to roam at will
 His carcass was found early this morn- ing with a bullet hole in the head, in the rear of Colonel Wagstaff's residence. Mrs. Wagstaff at once offered big re- ward for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the guilty persons The dogs enemies are in high glee over his fate, and thousands of wheelmen who pass the Wagstaff place will receive the tidings with joy
 The dog was buried on an island in Wagstaff's Lake, which years ago was set apart as cemetery for members of the Wagstaff canine family Stones are erected to their memory, bea ring the date of birth, death, pedigree and few ap- propriate remarks. Viking and his mate were valued at S1000

"CIVILlZED" WARFARE.

Some of the Things Which Modern Gus
 toms Do Not Allow.
 The Claws of war" as at present formulated by civilized nations forbid the use of poison against the enemy: murder by treachery, such as assuming the uniform or displaying the flag of the foe; the murder of those who have sur rendered, whether upon conditions or at discretion; declarations that nc quarter will be given to an enemy; the use of such arms or projectiles as will cause unnecessary pain or suffering to an enemy; the abuse of flag of truce to gain information concerning an enc my's position; all unnecessary destruc- tion of property, whether public or private.
 They also declare that only fortified places shall be besieged, open villages or cities not to be subject to siege or bombardment; that public buildings of whatever character, whether belong ing to the church or state, shall be spared; that plundering by private soldiers or their officers shall be mad missable; that prisoners shall be treated with common humanity; that the per sonal effects and private property of prisoners, excepting their arms and am munition, shall be respected; that the population of an enemy's country shall be considered to be exempt from partici- patton in the war unless by hostile acts they provoke the ill will of the enemy: that personal and family honor. and the religious convictions of ar invaded peo- rle, shall be respected by the invaders, and that all pillage by regular troops or their followers shall be strictly for l bidden.

The director of the mint estimates that in all South America there is now in circulation in gold $45,000,00O; in silver, $30,000,00O, and in paper, $600,- 000,000. That is, in those countries, many of which are silver countries and have been for nearly 400 years, there is eight dollars in paper in circula- tion to one of either silver or gold. And yet we are told that with silver restoration we should be deluged by all the silver of the world It would take Spanish-Ameriea fourteen years, were it to coin all of its product of silver, to make money enough to retire and fill the void of the paper money in circulation in those countries.

KISSING OF HANDS TABOOED.
Hygienic Reasons Lead to Abandonment
 of an Austrian Custom.

Hygienic Reasons Lead to Abandonment
 of an Austrian Custom.
 It has hitherto, says the New Orleans Picayune, been the custom of the chil- dren attending the public schools in Austria and Hungary to kiss the hands Of the teacher on arrival and departure. This has now been forbidden by an order from the imperial board of edu- cation, which bases it's action on the fact that sanitary investigation has shown that kissing is unhealthful and should not be, practiced, except wheu absolutely necessary. This brings up a very nice point of law to establish when kissing is absolutely necessary. If the public school teachers of Aus tria and Hungary are old and ugly it is likely that the scholars will acquiesce in the new ruling without murmur. If, on the other hand, the schoolmarms are pretty young women, like most of the New Orleans teachers, then the big boys in Austrian schools may keep up the good old custom of kissing the teacher, and plead that it was a case when kissing was absolutely necessary. Science is going too far, anyway, when it finds microbes in kisses and tries to establish quarantine against them. Kissing goes by favor, and not by law. When the kisser is in love and the kissee IS pretty, it is always case of abso- lute necessity, not amenable to Austrian or any other kind of laws.

Manufacturers of other sarsaparilias sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rllla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

Why then should he imagine that a sermon on Republicanism or Democ- racy, or on the single or double stand ard of values would be acceptable to a congregation containing persons hold ing opposing views to those of his pro- mitigation?
 If the minister or the priest insists that he must have an escape valve for his surplus of political thoughts, the stump is before him there for the pur- pose he needs, and for no other pur- pose. No person should gainsay his right of speech thereon. Certainly no good American would make effort to deprive him of this liberty And we go so far as to say that the minister should be favorably criticised when he essays the role of political speak er-in the proper place.
