The training of a circus horse not only
involves the expenditure of a considerable
sum of money and time, together with the
exercise Of much patience and persever-
ence, but it has to be undertaken in the
most systematic manner. One thing to be
most carefully guarded against is the risk
of disturbance, for, if the horse became
frightened, the safety of the audience, as
well as that of the rider, would be mper-
He'd. Accidents from such a cause in the
circus are, happily, conspicuous by their
absence. Nor is this to be wondered at,

EXCITING But NOT ART.
A Theatrical Reminiscence of Some
transforming Days.

Spouse to my question, said:
mistakes will occur, and things will get
mixed up in the theatrical business as well
as in any other. I remember one season
when I was with 1.-THE Country Farm"
Everything real, you know-real cows,
horses, chickens and all that sort of stuff.
One act was in the city, and there were
real fire engines, cable cars, ferryboats,
policemen and such like. Good play, and
took in money by the barrelful, but hard
work for me. Had to buy fresh vegetables
for the COWS to eat in full view of the au-
dience, and look after a raft of other
things.
zone night out at GAINESVILLE, o., just
as the curtain went up, the bay mule, who
appeared in the first tableau, kicked the
brass cannon used in the Fourth of July
scene. He was powerful kicker, having
been practicing on me for about three
months, and the heat generated by the
striking of his shoe against the cannon set
off the charge, and it blazed away right
among the real COWS and other animals.
The whole caboodle of 'em stampeded
straight onto the stage. The real chickens
also flew on and the fire engine horses
likewise naturally charged in, the racket
being right in their line
The stage hands and most of the actors
rushed on to try to straighten out the
tangle About this time a water pipe
burst, and something set off the thunder

PEACHES WITHOUT DOWN.
Remarkable Result of n Maryland
HOrticuIturist's Experimenting.

From the Baltimore American.
Mr.. William P. Winter, a retired car
penter. who lives at No. S26 North Carey
street. has entered heart and soul into
the wizard business, with remarkable re-
suits. In a cozy little yard back of Mr..
Winters home grows a peach tree that
has produced annual crops of luscious
fruit for a number of years. Two years
ago Mr.. Winter grew weary of the con-
ventonal covering of the peaches in his
limited orchard, and determined at least
in producing a crop, which is just now
tionable nap or down.
He began a series of experiments, and
that year produced a peach clothed in
the ordinary raiment of the banana; but,
not satisfied with the result of his start
ling assault on nature, he has succeeded
in produming a crop, which is just now
ripe, that looks for all the world like
tree full of apples The skin of the fruit
is perfectly smooth and of a dark red
hue, shading gradually into a yellow that
Mr.. Winter claims is a remnant of the
banana skin.
Next year" said he, II will have an
orange skin on them"
The method employed by Mr. Winter to
produce these startling results is a pro-
found secret and he is preparing to copy
right the scheme. Grapevines, as well as
peach trees tremble before the skill Of the
ex-carpenter and among the curious
things that thrive in the rear of S26 North
Carey street is a vine of this sort that
bears at this time ripe grapes as sweet
as honey and unusually large, half-ripe
grapes, blossoms and buds, which Mr..
Winter expects to ripen by Christms 4

THE CITY COUNCIL.

The council met at the Iron
Front Monday night and the roll
call showed but one absentee. City
Attorney Gray was also present.
There were no bills or petitions to
be presented and the first business
transacted was the appointment of
a street commissioner, Alderman
Huebner was finally persuaded to
accept the job, This office has
gone begging on account of the
habit every body has of kicking at
everything the commissioner does.
1t is to be hoped the public will be
more lenient in the future as the
streets need working.
The waterworRs question was
the next thing preached. The
aldermen agreed that Sinner could
put in system provided it did not
cost more than $4,000 or $4,000.
After some discussion it was agreed
upon that committee from the
board consisting of Mayor Blohm
aud Aldermen Wagner and Vol
tiers go TO Weimar for the purpose
of examining the waterworks sys'
tenn there, ascertaining their cost
and the firm that constructed then

Mr.. Palmie stated that he wY1ldt

when they could select the plan
which would be cheapest and most
feasible. Mr.. Palmie stated that
the waterworks system of Cuero
was self sustaining and even made
money for the city.
If the cost is within reasonable,
bounds Sinner will in all proba
bility have standpipe. The board,
is composed of some of the best
business men Of the town and any,
thing they do will be for the best
interests of Sinner.

Mr.. Palmie had promised to come
before the board and talk water
works but he had gone to Moulton
and getting caught in the rain
storm did not get back until $40
o'clock, a few minutes after the
council had adjourned.
On motion of Alderman Traut-
vein the board voted to provide the
fire company with new hose cart
for their new % inch hose. This
closed the business before the board
and an adjournment was taken.

There was an informal meeting
of the board yesterday morning at
10 o'clock to hear Mr., Palmie's
propositions regarding Il standpipe,
He made four suggestions to the
council.
1st. That number of citizens
guarantee the payment for stand
pipe with the understanding that
the city would take it off of theil
hands as soon as there would be {
thousand people here or that the
legislature pass special act allow

Hon. B. K. Bruce,
For Auditor of the
Treasury.

Ex>United Stat es Senator, B. K.
Bruce, formally from Miss, but
now of Washington, D. g., was ap~
pointed last week Auditor of the
United States Treasury by Prosi-
dent Mckinley. No better ap-
pointment could have been made
and will no doubt meet the gems
eral approval Of the leading pro-
gressive element of our race. In
all of Mr.. Bruce's long political
career he las not one word against
his honesty and purity of charac-
ter, nor has he ever been guilty Of
malfeasance or non-feasance, neith-
er has he lost his identity with his
race leaders. As he has once be-
fore held said position he will go
into the office with abundant ex-
perience, and will add strength
with the Treasury department.
We only hope the ex-senator will
remember Iowa in the selection
of some of his assistant clerks.

Presidents Message.

President Mckinley transmits his
views and Recommendations to the
fifty fifth congress,lt is a stateman-
like, and all American views; it is
also convincing, and one that will
confirm the confidence that the peo-
pie has in the President; he meets all
the important questions squarely, he
first discussed the fnande; the great
mass Of people have been waiting
with special interest to see the Presi-
dents views on the finance; and the
people had she same anxiety and in
terest as to what the message would
contain about Cuba and Hiawua.
He had but little to say on this sub
ject, the next subject presented is
the Nicaruaga canal, he de!t lightly
on it, but promised special mes
sage on this subject. The reci-
procity feature of our new tariff law
has hardly had time to prove that
change was necessary; he says that
we should do our full share in cary
ing the trade of the world. After re-
fering to the two conferences recently
held to protect the seal heard he
adds: "Negotiations to this end arc
now in progress, the result of which
l hope to be able to report to con-
congress at an early day." he also
says this country should be properly
represented at the Paris exposition
in 1900. He makes a strong appeal
for the completion of the three bat
tie ships, the extension of the gen.
eral survey system of Alaska is rec
omended the nindian question,
especially the five tribes of civilized
Indians was discussed, he also lays
before congress the sale of the
Union Pacific Railroad last month.
The last subject he discussed was
the civil service, after general re-
view of this question the President
says, ',There are places now in the
classified service which ought to be
exempted and others not classified
may properly be included.'

DR.. c. r. Ransom's
Lecture.

On last Tuesday evening Rev. C.
r. Ransom of Chicago the eloquent
young divine, delivered his lecture
entitle "Paddle your own Canoe" :"
or the version is self reliance. The
weathe was lovely and warm and
everything was as good as could be
expected except there being so few
present, yet there was no excuse for
their non presence, only like of race
pride, race advancement or literary
appreciation, as the meeting was
thoroughly advertised and admission
reasonable. For us to attempt to
give synopsis of the lecture, would
be in vain as our colored shorthand
reporters did not take it down for
which we are sorry but the Dr.ha
promise to give us part of it with his
cut to print in our Xmas holiday
number. The lecture was splendid
filled with good thoughts pure diction
and delivered with great eloquence
and ease in a graceful and attractive
manner wei! worth the preesnce of
any auditors and especially instruc-
tive to our race, his idea of accumula-
ting and saving wealth was good;
then by putting brain and education
into those places that we now have
and that honest labor, hotel labor
or any other so called menial labor
are not menial but honorable, he
recommend the industrial theory
and the unifcation of our race,
and to give the young ambitious and
aspiring youth our hearty support.
The Docter says that it is duty
rather then a right that we have,
then he says that our race needs
stronger men, morally to protect our
young and guide them right. The
church is the only moral evangeliz-
ing agency of our race for the saw
ing of people. The central thought
that he developed was to be self re-
liant, self educated, self economy
and christian morality. Tho DR..
Was born and educated in Ohio
finishing his college course at Will
berforce he was student at the
time that Mr.. ]. F. Blagburn and
wife were students there, he has a
bright future before him and we
wish him success.
