In q very interesting article on
White Elephants the. E.ncy clopedia
Brittanica says: "White elephants
are Albinos. They are extremely
rare, and great store is set upon them
among the independent kingdoms Of
Farther India, the chief white ele-
plant Of Siam ranking next to the
Queen and taking precedence of the
heir apparent. Although not an
object Of worship in those countries,
the white elephant is considered a
necessary adjunct to royalty: the
want Of it being regarded as ominous;
and in the 18th century a protracted
war was waged between Siam, Pegu
and Aracan, in the course Of which
five kings were killed, for the pos

as known there are only six or eight

possession Of the famous Riingling

A MARVELLOUS GROWTH.
Ringing Bros Big Show Ell
1arged to Twice Last Years
.-. Dimensions.

The st artllng announcement is made
that Ring ling Bros Worlds Greatest
Shows, which exhibits in Wi]lmar
Thursday, June II, has been fully
doubled in size since last season so
that it is now not only the biggest and
best arenic exhibition in America, but
is in every respect the most colossal
enterprise OF it's kind ever organized.
There are twice as many cars: twice
as many elephants: twice as many
people; twice as much seating capac-
ity; twice as many rare wild animals;
twice as many tents, twice the hippo
drome space, and twice the number of
SURPRISING arenic features, while a
princely fortune has been expended in
an all-new street parade, which for
wealth of costuming, richness ofcolor-
ing and novelty of feature has never
been equalled. To organize this
stupendous' travelling exposition has
involved an expenditure of So, ZOO, 200,
sum equal, if not greater, than the
combined invested capital Of all other
arenic exhibitions combined, while the
daily cost of operating and mainta in
ing this greatest Of shows averages
over s., 400-an amount sufficient to
equip an ordinary circus. No other
show could exist with half its ex-
pense: no other show can compare
with it in resources; no other show
has feature worthy to be classed in
the same category as those presente d
with this mighty exhibition. Think
of Is elephants-25 pachyderms, rang
ing from the tiniest of baby elephants
up to the largest elephants that ever
trod the earth. to say nothing of the
only genuine pure white elephant ever
seen in America: think OF 400 match
less, spirited, housekeeping, horses,
proudly caparisoned in cloth of gold
and waving plumes; think ola phalanx
of over 1000 people, among whom are
hundreds Of artists, especially import
ed from Europe for the sole purpose
Of anus ing and instructing the dis
eliminating American public; think Of
dens upon dens of rare wild animals,
caught in the jungles Of Widest Africa
and Asia, often at the expense Of life
Or limb, and brought to America at
an almost fabulous outlay, and ex-
hibited in the most beautifully carved
and Enthusiastically ornate golden cages
ever constructed; think Of huge
hippodrome amphithcatre, so enorm-
Gus in it's dimensions as to furnish
seating capacity for the entire popu-
lation OF a good sized county: think
Of a ground space devoted to arenic
displays alone large enough to cover
a city block, and racing course, all
under canvass fully one-fourth of a
mile in length. These are the salient
characteristics OF Ringing Bros
truly marvellous exhibition, and even
they can give but a faint idea OF the
massiveness, the striking beauty and
imperial splendor Of this superb
enterprise.

The village council passed an ordi-

unlicensed dogs anywhere on sight,
and it will be enforced to the letter.
The village is overrun with dogs, so
that neither teams nor pedestrians can
pass along the streets in safety. Let
everybody see to their dogs, and if
they have useless ones get them out of
the way at once, SO as to save the vii
lage the expense of doing it. Z: 4 . 81

The hvellest interest is manifested by
members OF the Salvation army, and
by outside sympathizers. in the terms
OF the sentence which is to be passed
upon Frederick De La Tour Booth
Tucker, commander of the Salvation
army in the United States, who was
convicted week ago of maintaining
disorderly house at the big army bar
racks on West Fourteenth street. Com
plAint was made by the residents, who
alleged that they were greatly disturb,d d
by the singing and band playing which
frequently lasted throughout the night.
The trial resulted in conviction, sem
tence being postponed until tomorrow.
Commander Booth Tucker Is OF the
opinion that the decision Is perversion
Of the law, the creation Of new Of
fense which jeopardizes the religious
liberties OF tens of thousands of the
best citizens IN the United States. The
commander further states that new
class law has been instituted prohibit
ing the working man from meeting TO
pray, while the rich man is allowed to
meet under precisely similar circum-
stances to dance.
