ternoOn and night. People should not
mistake Orrin's circus for common
Mexican circus. Orrin brothers are
old and experienced showmen and
have built up one of the finest cir
cuses in Mexico and in getting together
the troupe some of the finest attrac-
tions of the United States and Eu Ope
are employed. Orrin's circus remains
in the City of Mexico during the win
ter and spring and travels through the
republic during the summer and fall.
The attractions are of the highest Or
der, and minus the managerie, the
show is as good as any of the larger
circuses that travels through this cOun-
try. There are no fake side shows and
sure thing games with the circus.

Supt. Wari on the Coal Question.

Supt. Ward, Of the coal department,
az i hurbsr Of the Texas u Pacific, ar
rived yesterday from the east, and is
In town for day or two. Mr.. Ward is
hav:ng no trOu ole with his men on &C
count OF the big strikes up north and
In the east. On the contrary his SYM
pathleS are rather with the men. for
lie says their wages have b en- cut SO
that in maay places ali man can earn
is six DIb5 per day, and only three cents
Is at the disposal of Il hOu5ekeeper to
feed ner family on for each meal So
1t has come to be a question OF strike or
starve. Competition is the occasion Of
TINS, as the operators have been cuttl q o
under eaCh other 20 get business: and
Instead OF cutting Otf tue profits, they
cut the decrease OFF the mems wages
Mr.. Ward said mis- men would gen
orally average 81 per day. so there was
no complaint as to the compauy's store
the operatives were able to buy there
cheaper than they could else here, as
was evidenced by the fact that people
declined to trade at stores some dis
lance away, as it was cheaper to trade
at the coal company's store. The
present output is from 500 to 500 tons
per day, with about 1900 operatives at
work. Nc, there was no kick coming
from that quarter, and the trouble that
occurred about year ago was oc-
casioned by al agitator who Was fired
out Of the country. Mr.. Ward thought
that the opening up OF the Salado coal
helds IN southeastern New Mexico
would result in the Tnurber coal being
shuL out of this market on account Of
the 500 miles haul for the Texas coal
The L. u T.. coal department was
starting IN to IN AXE brick, as there are
extended aud fine deposits OF the best
clag in the Immediate vicinity, and
there is every prospect for securing a

Is the signal from the drummer for the

Ween the bandsmen take their places
