j. A. BAILEY AND SELLS BROTHERS STRIKE
HANDS IN UNITING AMERICAS Two
GREATEST SHOWS.
In referring to the recent consolidation of
the Great Adam Forepaugh Show with Sells
Brothers enormous united railroad shows,
which is to exhibit at Montpelier on Thursday,
Aug. 26, the press of New York City speaks of
it as consummation destined to exercise a
most potent and far-reaching influence in arenic
affairs, and such it undoubtedly is. The Her
aid terms the new aggregation one of the
most powerful in the world The Record
says that lit brings into alliance the three
biggest show enterprises in the world"
The Adam Forepaugh Show was founded in
1864, and for over thirty years has maintained
leading position among the greater tented
enterprises. On the death of Mr.. Forepaugh,
Mr.. j. A. Bailey became sole owner of this
quarter of a million dollars was paid. Mr..
Bailey is also sole owner of the Barnum IL
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth and has joint
interest in the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show.
The Sells Brothers form a noted circus tri-
umvirate and their show has been dominant
one for quarter of century, during which
time it has not only achieved most enviable
and lucrative national reputation but also won
much fame and many shekels in Australia and
the far Antipodes.
Now, under one management and for but
one price of admission, are thus collossally
hippodromes and parades either of which has
sngly heretofore easily taken rank as among
the greatest and most famous shows on earth
And this to the manifest advantage of both
the principals and the public for not only is
the maintenance of high, progressive and
reputable standard of entertainment assured,
through the permanent cooperation of manag
ers of undoubted responsibility and character,
but patrons will get more-and the very best
of everything penny's additional
costa double and most excellent consumma-
ton, iustifyfng mutual congratulations and
giving amplest promise of great results.
Among the novel arenic features introduced
this season, the Enchanted Aerial Bicycle act
deserves special mention, as a most unique and
marvellous performance. 1t introduces artists
upside down, riding an upside down bicycle
upon high suspended upside down track and
achieving many difficult tricks in that singular
position, with nothing apparent to prevent
wheel and rider from falling headlong. The
act creates furore and widespread comment.

have a "rest" from important tariff
changes for four years, at least,
and probably for a longer period.
For the first time in seven years bust
ness has now breathing spell. Tariff
changes, even in the right direction,
disturb trade and commerce. They
cause uncertainty, and uncertainty in
tariff legislation, when sweeping altera-
tons are expected, is more destructive
to business during the time the uncer-
tainty lasts than is the worst kind of a
tariff law, inasmuch as business can, to
certain degree, ultimately adjust itself
to harmful Determinations or restric-
tons. The certainty for which the
country has been looking for several
years is here, the country now has
tariff which business men in general
believe is intelligently calculated to help
all important industrial interests, and
tariff sure of a reasonably long lease OF
life. The Republicans have assurance
that they will hold their own in nearly
all the States in the elections to occur
this fall, but the critical time for the
party will come in the Congressional
campaign next year. The business Inn
provements which have already arrived
and the popular satisfaction which il
expressed for the present tariff Law
gives good ground for hope that the
Republican hold will not be loosened Of
disturbed in the campaign of 1898.

A Rest and Right Settlement.

"The country demands right settle
ment OF the tariff issue and then it
wants rest" Such was the declara-
ton of the tariff plank of the platform
adopted at the st. Louis Republican
Convention. The Republicans of the
country believe that the tariff act now
in force provides the "right settlement"
and the votes Of the Democrats and
populists for the bill, in each branch of
Congress at different stages, reveal the
fact that Republicans are not alone in
that belief. Republicans andIeverybody
else know that the country is now to

An Old Religious Paper in Exile.

On the first of August, Rev. E. B.
Burrows of Concord. N. H., editor and
publisher OF the Congregational Record
of that city, assumed the publication
and editorship of the Vermont ChrOns-
Gle. The paper, we understand, is
printed at the Republican Office at Con-
cord, and is made up in part from the
contents of the Record which succeed
ed the NeU Hampshire Journal as the
organ of the Congregationalists of the
Granite State, and is printed by the Re-
publican Company. Both of these
papers draw their strictly secular matter
from the Concord Monitor, published
also by the Republican Company.
Rev. G. H. Merrill of St. Johnsbury, is
the Vermont editor of the Chronicle,
and, in order to give the paper " a local
habitation" as well as a name, STD ohns-
bury, Vermont, is the hypothetical
place of its publication.
This arrangement is good one. 1t
lessons the cost of production and there
are other advantages in this dual
scheme of publication. Besides, "turn
about is fair play" From 1880 to
1895, New Hampshire Congregation
alists got their denominational paper,
the Journal, from Montpelier, the Yer
mont State Capital, in joint publication
with the Chronicle. Then the New
Hampshire people departed from the
combination and at Concord began to
listen to the strains of an organ all their
own. The Chronicle sought new
abiding place at st. Johnsbury, in the
Office of the Caledonian, but the con-
temporary seems to have acquired
sufficient experience, in two years time,
in the publication of country religious
weekly; hence the exodus to New
Hampshire. We may admire the
courage that impels the new publisher
to undertake the task of publishing the
Vermont Chronicle, and from its in.
come seek remuneration for his outgoes
and labors, but do not deem it neces-
sary to warn him against the expecta.
ton of great and sudden riches, for, un.
less the Congregationalists of Vermont
are unlike the leopard, and change their
"spots," about the last thing they will
do is to support with their money q
State UNCONVENTIONAL paper.
The first issue of the Chronicle from
a foreign State is good one and its ex-
cellence ought to commend the paper
to the substantial good will OF the de.
nomination in whose interest it is
published. With denominational mum.
bers in this State sufficient to warrant
reasonable expectation of $500 sub.
scribers, if there were any denomina-
tional pride or interest to appeal to and
enlist, the subscription list, 30 far as any
money value is concerned, had become
practically worthless. In it's limited
capacity for doing good, or for impress
ing upon the community the principles
of religion, or for upholding and adj
vancing the tenets of Congregational
ism, the Chronicle has not for years, in
the size of its circulation, had an ade-
quate reason for its existance. Has ii
gone to New Hampshire to die, or to
await in exile the resurrection of a
Christian interest in their own progeny
by the Vermont Congregationalists.

THE national Republican Convention
at st. Louis and the seven millions OF
voters who supported its platform de-
clared that the civil service law was
placed on the statute books by the Re-
publican party and that the party re-
newed its repeated declarations that
it should be thoroughly and honestly
enforced and extended wherever prac-
ticable." President Mckinley seems
to have taken this convention at its
word by his recent civil service order
prohibiting the removal Of men and
women from positions except upon

THE New Jersey Legislature has a
scheme on foot to rid that State of the
mosquito. 1t is seriously proposed to
do away with the swamps and marshes
where these insects breed, and thus
Danish them. In undertaking this
work the State of New Jersey may be
sure that, if it is practicable, they will
rid themselves not only of this annoy
ing insect, but of many other troubles
as we'll. Not only is the presence Of
the mosquito in New Jersey great an

Of bad repute, and his people were dis
gusted with charity work. Co-opera-
ton would have saved them. The SAT-
est thing for church is to consult
the Associated registry.
Cooperation of charities means that
each organization shall conduct we'll
defined lines of work, so that there
shall be no unnecessary duplication of
effort. 1t means also that these or
ganizations, together with churches,
conduct joint agency to facilitate CO.
operation, and develop and foster
schemes for self-heip such as friendly
visiting and provident funds. 1t is not
the province of the joint cooperative
agency to undertake work which is the
especial function of any of the several
organizations, nor should any Of the
several organizations pretend to act as
an agent for investigation, or perform
any distinctive duty of the joint
agency. The unfortunate will Unneces-
sarily suffer unless all the charities
work together. 1t is gratifying to
know that st. Paul has laid founda-
ton for most successful cooperation.
Miss Julia c. Lathrop, of Chicago,
menDer OF the Illinois D0dfu Ol claTI-
ties, spoke of the encouragement the
st. Paul Associated Charities had given
to similar organizations in other cities.
The true charity was that which was
handled in a scientific manner and aft
er the plans of cooperation as operat-
ed by the st. Paul organization. She
urged the necessity of personal service
in order that the work of caring for
the needy, even with cooperation,
might be successfully carried out.
E. W. Peet, treasurer Of the associ-
alton, stated that at the last public
meeting the collection netted about $12,
but that the expense of the meeting
was far greater than the amount Of the
collections. The receipts for last year
showed that contributions were much
larger from individual subscriptions
than from the Associated Charities.
The total receipts from all sources
amounted to $3,994.O6 and the disburse-
ments to $3,9916 He urged that indi-
vidual subscribers give freely to the
fund for the coming year, as without
contributions the work of the assoct-
alton could not be made successful.

The terrible tragedy at the Smith
avenue bridge Saturday afternoon,
when Jacob Amos and Henry Bergen
krueger plunged to death in the water
of the river 200 feet below, created a
sensation yesterday throughout the
city. Never before has so startling
double suicide shocked the local public.
Men and women have killed themselves
before under horrible circumstances
companions have died together rather
than face great danger or suffering
and lovers have snuffed out life's spark
to end an existence apart, but the
calmly agreed plan Of two men, scarce
" more to each other than chance ac-
uuaintances, whose lives and hopes
were at the worst only partially OBJ
scured by the shadows of drink, to seek
death together under such sensational
conditions. and the cool, deliberate,
and vet almast frivolous execution Of
the agreement is startling. Friends of
the dead men were astounded. Both
were known generally as of happy
temDeraments, and in the case Of
Amos, it is said that his domestic rela-
tions were pleasant with a loving wife

been able to provide comfortably, and
relatives say he had no business ditl1-
culties. Bergenkrueger was merry
lester about his boarding house.
though at times he had evinc-
ed melancholy spirit, which,
however, was never seriously con-
sidered by his friends. He was out
of employment it is true, but had the
assurance of a home with his land
lord, Mr. Miller, as long as he would
accept the latter's hospitality. Neither
man had ever directly threatened i'm
mediate suicide, though remarks they
were heard to make have assumed sig
nfficance to some since their death, but
the majority of those who knew them
refuse to believe that any of the indi-
rect allusions to death was meant for
more than jest
No further cause for the double sui
eide developed yesterday than that
given in the G ! o b e S account of the
tragedy, namely, that both men had
