How a Circus Advance Man Defeated the
Hopes Of Rival Agent.
watertown, s. D., Public opinion.
There is considerable rivalry this
year between the Barnum. Bailey and
the Ringling circus. These great shows
have crossed each others paths on
several occasions. The Barnum- Bailey
people got ahead of the Ringlings in
getting control of all the bill board
advertising at Minneapolis. The Bar
mum advance agent got everything in
the shape of bill-hUards before the Ring
ling man reached the scene. When
Ringlipgs -Coyey--arrived, he
found that he was cut off from all hill
boards and similar advertising, But
Coxey was equal to toe emergency.
He went to the newspapers, suited his
dilemma, and said be wanted more
space than usual upon such occasions,
and that be had got to hold up his adj
vertising end of the great shows ii it
cost a fortune. Barnum g. Bailey's
man posted his gaudy colors on the
siues of barns, on fences, aud on about
every thing that was "getable, and
Ringling's went right 10 advertising
in the newspapers. The result OF de-.
pending ou tine newspapers alone for
circus advertising has been grntify-
ing success, not only TO Mr.. Coxey.

that sought admission to the evening
performance. People had 10 be turned
away because there was absolutely no
room for them inside the tents. When
Mr.. Coxey was 10 Watertown he stated
to Public Opinion that he should watch
the result in Minneapolis With good
deal OF anxiety. The Ringlings looked
to him to do gooG job in the adver-
tising business for them. He had never
before been cut of from the use OF bill
boards, and his dependence upon news
paper advertising alone was something
wholly new to him for circus purposes.

OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAvORiNTEREST.

Tho following officers have been
elected by the Delaware Avenue Bap-
tist Christian Endeavor Society: Harry
Daily, Presidential. W. Bryan, Vice
President. William Newton, Treasurer,
and j. 4. Sanders. Recording Secretary.
Spain has seyen Christian Endeavor
Societies. Three of them are in San
Sebastian, the third having been formed
only a short time ago, These three
societies held a united meeting at
which representatives from the othor
four societies we're present, the first ap-
uroach TO Spanish National Convan-
tion. One item on the programme was
specially worthy of imitation. A
specially prepared map Of the world was
displayed on an easel, and as the Chris
tian Endeavor statistics OF each coun-
try were called out by one person an
other pinned the figures on the map.
A union for South India has been
constituted at Madras. and several local
unions have been formed. The Rev.
William Carey, groat grandson of the
punesr Indian missionary, has specially
adapted the movement to small COM
munities, having formed 60 village
societies, and he will visit different
parts Of India in the interest Of Chris
tian Endeavor.
We are accustomed to new ideas in
connection with our movement, but a
Christian Endeavor exhibition is one of
the newest. This was recently held in
Hull, and seems to have been great
success. Theirs was rare display OF
banners, including the badge banner
form Scotland and IA Floating Society
banner from Greenock, made by a
yachtsman OF tho Tar" The latter
made it's first appearance away from
home. Missionary curios, Endeavor
literature and badges, works Of art and
decorations, reciting and vocal contests
were among the attractions.

MILK INSPECTIONS.
A New and Much Better Plan Adopted by
Inspector McEviily.

A New and Much Better Plan Adopted by
Inspector McEviiiy.
Milk Inspector McEyilly has adopted
new plan of performing the duties
incident to bis office, the new plan
being more effective on account OF his
increased power, giving him the right
to have chemical analyses made when
ever he deems it necessary. Heretofore
he has used his apparatus in the
presence of the dealers, who, OF course,
would have an opportunity to form
some idea of the result but now he
takes the milk to his Office in bottles
and has better opportunity there to
make the tests. He does not propose
to inform persons from whom be may
obtain adulterated or impure milk Of
the result of his tests, but. as soon as
be discovers that the law has been
violated, will bring action before the
proper tribunal. lie has given all of
the dealers proper warning and any
who may be inclined to adulterate
their milk will know what to expect.
Inspector McEvilly's new plan has had
an excellent effect, and a decided i'm
provement has been noticed in several
cases.

Ladies who are not beautiful naturally
desire to become so, and those who possess
the charm are equally desirous to prolOng
its stay. The question is, as to the means.
"Glenn's Sulphur Soap solves the problem
nationally. 1t ditfuses over the complexion
a transparency and smoothness of porcelain
which the farest of her sex might desire
and its effects are more permanent than
those of any of the deleterious cosmetics in
use. 1t gives to the face a natural life-like
tinge, removing every blemish, and it has
the great merit OF being purely vegetable
