Investments in the country. He located
two rich mines and made much money.
He lost his fortune, however, through i'll
ness and the flooding of his mines. These
misfortunes disheartened him so greatly
that he thought il would be better for his
family and old friends to think him dead,
and the report reached his wife and two
children in Fresno, Cal, fifteen years ago,
that he had died OF mountain fever.
When his health mad improved. Mr..
HaTbin went into the heart of the rugged

THE WALLACE CIRCUS.
4 Magnificent Menagerie One of
Its Leading Features.

The Great Wallace Show, which viii ex-
hibit in this city June % and "a, is said
tC be now one of the largest tented enter
prises i'll this country. While no depart
ment Of the great show has been neglected,
yet special attention has been given to the
menagerie, which now embraces the largest
collection OF rare wild animals ever pre-
sented here. { is said to be u mag
nficent geological display.
The Wallace Show menagerie is mem
Orable this year from the fact that it con-
tains large number Of animals that have
become SO valuable as to preclude the pos
session of specimens by other amusement
enterprises. This is true of the huge
paChydeTm, Diamond, an elephant not only
eight inches taller than the late lamented
Jumbo, but weighing 400 pounds more
than the former famous beast; the only
baby zebra in America, and the world
famous Wallace man-eatinr lions.
The spirit Of Western enterprise is ad-
Inircd by Eastern people, and the Wallace
Show, while new corners to this section OF
the country, should show to the capacity
OF their tents in this city.

BITES ABOUT WOMEN.

A small number of women have served
years, and they give general satisfaction.
Only few months ago a noted old post
woman died at Cutskye, some ten miles
from Leeds. From the Queens accession
in 1887 till 1869 she was the letter carrier
in the ancient town of Pontefract, and
duties from sickness during the thirty
two years. Moncton Mines, first Lord
Houghton, took an interest in her career,
and was instrumental in obtaining q
government position for her in her de
Ginning years.
Vivien May Sartoris, who is about II,
has fine figure, an oval face, with rose
tinted cheeks, hazel eyes, well defined eye
brows, like her mothers, and dark brown
hair, with glints of gold through it. Sew
eral years ago she had quite notion of
going on the stage-probably inheriting
her inclination from her fathers mother,
the beautiful Adela Kemble, who made a
brilliant debut in opera, but retired to
private life when she married. Miss Sar-
toris has given up all idea of dramatic
career, and will devote her spare time to
music IL
DIR. Mabel Spencer of Riley county,
Kansas, is said to be the only legally APP
pointed woman health officer in the
United States Her home is in Manhattan,
the county seat. She is graduate of
Kansas City Homeopathic College, and
her official honors rest lightly on her
shapely shoulders. She keeps the record
of births and deaths, sees that doctors
and dentists are duly registered, looks
after the inmates of the poor farm, ETC.,
and makes quarterly reports to the Secre-
tary of State.
The Princess of Wales has no great
tondness for diamonds, and rarely wears
them, except at state entertainments.
she Is fond of pearls. sapphires and opals,
the uncanny qualities popularly assoclate1
with the latter not appealing to her IN
the smallest degree. For the ruby, TOO,
she has somewhat of an affection, and the
royal jewel cases contain some splendid
specimens of that brilliant stone brought
TO England by the Prince when he re
turned from his memorable trip through
India
