ADJUSTMENTS.

The necessary make up of circus ca
pable of drawing money enough to make
it profitable business is quite gigan
tic affair, if a person unacquainted
with such institutions were to start &
buy the whole outfit. 1t requires many
cars, hundreds of horses and animals and
an army of employees and the daily ex-
penditure of large sums of money
Leon w. Washburn owns such a show
and combined as it is with his circus
museum, menagerie and hipprodrome
il is most pretentious amusement en-
torprise. The circus department is re-
plete with daring ana graceful riders.
male and female, noted aerialists, novel.
jugglers, intrepid acrobats, and many
other features that go to form a first
class performance. The hipprodrome
races are most thrilling, consisting of
chariot races, tandem races, sack
races, trials of speed between men and
ture, make a grand finale to a great
show. In the menagerie department
will be found a large number of deni-
IONS of the field. forest. jungle and
desert. The baby lions and their
mother make mas. interesting display
and the little elephant seems to hold
the attention of all visitors to the ami
NAL collection. Old Charlie is undoubt-
edly the largest and Oldest elephant
alive. The rest of wild beasts and birds
are worthy Of attention. The cat min
strels is novelty and to see the little
animals playing on musical Instruments
is excruciatingly funny, and the most
casual visitor viii find much to wonder
at, great deal to amuse and instrue,
and soane things that viii thrill and
startle them. The show will be seen
here. Saturday, June &c.

ID you remember the Johnstowr
iiood? II you do the story told by Z
stranger in one of the Water stree
stores, yesterday, may be of interest
He came in and the conversation
turned on lost fortunes. Then h
prieked up his ears" He said he had
4 little experience once. He owned :
publishing house in JohnstoWn before
the flood. He said he was the only man
who escaped from that building. He
did it by jumping on the roof of a
building floating past. He remained in
the debris for over seven hours. He
laid in the hospital 16 weeks. Then he
learned that his wife and child had
lost their lives in the flood, his house
had been destroyed, also his place OF
business. One day he had been worth
$50 600, the next nothing. He married
the nurse who attended him during
those 16 weeks in the hospital. Thus
endeth the romance. The practical
ide of it lies in the fact that the mar
has gone on the road to earn his live
lihood.

The Bangor & Aroostook Railroad

Maine Central station about l o'clocl

Harhor train arrived about o'clock
and shortly afterwards the y. & A
train from Houlton came rolling int
the station. 1t brought a large number
Of passengers and was drawn by tive
engines, one Maine Central engine
acting as pilot. Pilots will be run ~

of that line get accustomed to the road
between Old Town and Bangor.
The first b. & "A. train to arrive here
came in at 9.15 a. NJ. from Greenville

of Conductor Frank Delaney who has
been running on the r. 81 A. for many

in a day or two everything will be

The running of the b. e a. trains

look after the 10 trains and all of them
Will be obliged to move to this city
from Old Town. Some of the conduc-

to move their families here. Conductors

A Communication.

Editors kennebec Journal.
! noticed in your issue of this morn
ing, an article in reference to the secur-
ing Of band stand for outdoor con-
certs, which ] can most heartily en-
dorse. There is nothing which would
contribute more to phe enjoyment Of the
public during the long summer eve-
nings than open air concerts. and MOTH
ing that would contribute more surely
to the promotion of the spirit of local
harmony and unity of purpose. 1t is
this which makes municipality strong
in its ability to achieve results and
build itself up. There is, too, in music.
a refining and cultivating influence
which works for the upbuilding Of hu-
man character. The events Of the past
few years have demonstrated with
gratifying conelusiveness that Angus
ia has citizens who are never backward
in the promotion Of any project that
contributes to the city's welfare and
the comfort and enjoyment Of its peo-
pie. We feel sure tfaat they stand ready
to afford all proper encouragement for
the building UP Of band in this city
which shall be second to none in the
state
The question Of the location of band
stand is at best q minor one. There are
number Of good places for it, and any
difference of opinion on this minor de-
tail might we'll be waived in securing
an end so earnestly desired by large
portion Of our citizens.
BY all means. let us have a band
stand. CITIZEN.

Some Interesting Features Of an Old
Pamphlet

| There are a good many who have no
| difficulty in recalling clearly the events
| # As years ago and to them an old
psmphlet to which Mr.. George w.

| would be of especial interest. though
| i is not lacking in interest for any one
who is at all DESTROYS Of becoming bet
sor acquainted with the historical
vents connected with Louis Kossuth' $
visit to this country and the enthusiasts
tic welcome he received at the hands
cf the American people.
This pamphlet contains a full ac-
| count Of the proceedings, speeches, etc.
Il the dinner given to Kossuth at the
National hotel, Washington, d. c., Jan,

thc sentiment The Secretary of State.
His sympathics are as broad as his in
tellect is profound" His response was
in entire harmony with the sentiment.
He was at his best and that is about al
that may be said in description Steph-
en- L. Douglas also addressed the meet
ing as did Mr.. Seward. kossuth also
responded to the sentiment, which may
seem a little odd at this time when the
civilized world unites in condemning
the government of the great assassin,
Turkey: Her noble hospitality, eX-
tended to a fallen patriot, even at tle
fisk Of war, proves her worthy of the
respect and friendship of liberal ma
tons" The tribute which Kossuth paid
10 the Sultan in whose honor and on
whose hospitality his life at one time
depended was high in the extreme. 1t
may lie pertinent to quote the follow
ing from his remarks: Whereas in
Austria self government was secured
by three victorious revolutions, ana
qualifications which ensued these revo-
lutions and hundreds Of laws and still
Austria has hlotted out of the condition
of Hungary the self government Of the

LARISSA STILL SAFE
A Hard Days Fighting and
a Drawn Battle.
INTENSE SUSPENSE IN ATHENS
Both Sides Are Calling Out Their
Reserve FOrces-Man0s' Pro-
Eress Still Easy.

Larissa, April 23.-The first seriously
planned battle commenced today. EARLY
this morning the Greeks, under Gen.
erals M; v-onichali and Macros, adj
vanced rom Reveni, Boghasi and
Stelos, against Edhem Pasha's advance
guard. The fighting was greatly ex-
tended and the battle ragged until late
this afternoon, with varying fortune.
The Greeks were assisted by thousands
OF irregulars, who harrassed the Turkish
outposts and wings, as we'll as partici-
pated in the general engagement. The
Turks had an overwhelming superiority
in numbers. They had constructed
earthworks and trenches everywhere,
and established in these. awaited the at
tack of the Greeks. They chung te-
naciously to the side fences while the
Turks attacked them again and again
with the most desperate bravery.
In spite Of the furious attacks still
made upon them the Turks continued
to hold the Reveni and Nezereos passes.
At 8 O'Clock this afternoon it is prac-
tically drawn battle. Crown Prince
Constantine is hurrying reinforcements
to the front.
